Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 9 Tong Jia Shi
Yu Sui returned home and rested for a month before resuming his life as a corporate slave.
The target of this mission is Kangxi's third empress: Empress Xiaoyiren Tong Jia in history. Her wish is relatively simple, hoping that her daughter will live a safe and smooth life. If possible, she should restrain the Tong Jia clan and not let them be arrogant, corrupt and end up with a tragic death like in their previous life.
The original owner had misgivings about her adopted son. In her previous life, her brother Longkodo treated his wife and children badly and indulged his concubines and illegitimate children, but he never treated his adopted son badly. In the end, he died of fear after being imprisoned. She knew her brother was not a good person, but the way her adopted son treated her like a fool really made her feel disappointed.
The original owner wanted her daughter to live a long life, so Yu Suisui went to the logistics department specifically to ask for medicine. However, among the necessary items for the Qing Dynasty team, there was no medicine that could ensure that the daughter of Tong Jia's close relative would not be affected by genes, so she had to go to the logistics department alone to ask for it.
When Yu Sui turned 18, it was the first day of the original owner's entry into the palace. In the fifteenth year of Kangxi, she entered the palace as a princess and enjoyed the treatment of a concubine. This harem rank was not yet fully established in the early Kangxi period, when there were a lot of concubines, and it was troublesome to mix princesses, concubines, and concubines.
The surname Tonggiya added a different color to her. As the maternal clan of Kangxi, as soon as she entered the palace, she was treated almost the same as the future queen, Nianhulu, who had been working in Kangxi's harem for several years.
The conditions were good. Yu Suisui lived in a spacious house, had good food, and was willing to put more thought into this mission.
She was also troubled as to whether she should raise the future Fourth Master or not. The original owner had mixed feelings about her adopted son. If she didn't raise him, would the original owner be dissatisfied? If she did, would the original owner be angry?
Or just let it be.
On August 22, the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Yu Sui was granted the title of Imperial Concubine, while Nianhulu was granted the title of Empress. From this day on, the original owner began her first steps in being virtuous and kind, recommending beauties to the Emperor and raising children for him. In short, from this day on, she believed in her heart that she could not become Empress because she was not virtuous enough, and she began to start a new life.
When it was reported that a tea-serving maid in the Qianqing Palace was pregnant and was about to be moved to the harem, Yu Susui did not take the tea-serving maid, Uya, to her own Chengqian Palace to take care of her like the original owner did. She had no intention of taking care of anyone other than the person she was assigned to do so.
Uyashi Malun was assigned to the neighboring Yonghe Palace. After many twists and turns, she finally lived in the palace that she had specifically asked Kangxi to give her. It was next to Chengqian Palace, but the two palaces were very different in size and decoration.
She was also a bondservant maid who entered the palace later than her. She served the emperor for only half a year before she was promoted to Yipin by the emperor. It can be seen that Kangxi liked Guo Luoluo more than her. The original owner protected Wuya in order to protect her children, until the sixth prince was appointed as a concubine and moved out.
However, the Defei in this time and space was not recommended by Tong Jia to climb onto the dragon bed, but she was willing to do so for the family's ambitions. I was unwilling, but for the sake of the family, I was willing to do anything, so I climbed onto the dragon bed reluctantly.
Yu Suisui was devoted to eating, drinking and having fun in Chengqian Palace, and did not interfere in any affairs outside Chengqian Palace. Niuhulu had no children, so he must hold the palace power firmly in his own hands to feel at ease.
Only ten days after the news of Uya's pregnancy came out, the queen died. Yu Suisui was treated as an able-bodied man and began to take over the palace affairs, but when she saw the thick stacks of account books, she wanted to pretend to be sick.
"Cousin, there are too many account books. Can you give me a few clerks who are good at arithmetic to do a rough calculation so that I can sort them out?" Yu Suisui knew that there were clerks who were good at arithmetic in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there were clerks in each faction. She was too lazy to look for clean people. Wouldn't it be more time-saving and worry-free to directly borrow from Kangxi?
Kangxi saw his cousin sitting next to him with a sad face. He also knew that his cousin had always been lazy. It was normal for her to be at a loss when the palace affairs fell into her hands. "I will ask Liang Jiugong to select a few people for you later. Is that okay?"
"Thank you, cousin!" Okay, the people will be in place soon. She just needs to wait until the account books are completely sorted out before formulating new rules. If she continues to follow the old set, she will be exhausted in the future.
As for why she didn't give some of the power to the seven concubines now, Yu Suisui said that it had to be divided, but she had to wait until she had formulated the rules and the three giants all agreed to her division. Otherwise, when it came time for the year-end sorting, the same scene would happen again, and she didn't have much patience.
Seeing his cousin so happy, Kangxi thought that his cousin was a good person and was willing to share his worries. Then he expressed his appreciation for his cousin and came to Chengqian Palace for three consecutive days to show his appreciation.
Yu Suisui: It’s not necessary. Working during the day is hard enough, and I have to work overtime at night. This is the life of a human being, not even a dog.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wuya is here to pay her respects to you." When Qingbi said this, Yu Suisui wanted to curse his father in his heart. Why did she come to pay her respects to her when she was pregnant and about to give birth? What was she planning to do?
"What's your twenties today?" Yu Suisui sat up immediately. Yongzheng was born on October 30th, and it had been several days since the Golden Festival. Wasn't Uya about to give birth? Why was she running to her?
Qingbi said: "My Lady, today is October 21st."
Could it be that she had encountered some conspiracy? No, "Tell her to go back and take good care of her pregnancy in Yonghe Palace, and don't walk around everywhere if there is nothing to do." The Uya family in this world is not an easy person to deal with, and she doesn't want to waste her time and energy.
"I'll go right away." Qingbi replied and immediately left the warm room. When she pulled aside the curtain and came out, she took a breath of cold air and thought, it's so cold now, isn't Concubine Uya afraid of the cold?
When Wu Ya, who was waiting outside, learned that Yu Suisui didn't see her, her already pale face became even paler, and she asked anxiously, "Miss Qingbi, why didn't the queen see me? Does the queen not like me?"
Qingbi, who was polite and courteous, said: Your Majesty is busy now, and Concubine Wuya is in poor health now, so it is not good to ask Concubine Wuya to wait for her, lest she catch a cold, so please ask Concubine Wuya to return to the palace first. As a result! When did she say that Your Majesty didn't like her?
"Miss Wuya, you are about to give birth. The Queen loves you and doesn't let you go back and forth. How can it be said that the Queen doesn't like you?" Qingbi said a few words in a crackling manner. She was a little angry in her heart and her tone was not very good.
"My lady, it's so cold, and you are about to give birth. Even if you don't feel sorry for yourself, you should feel sorry for the baby in your belly."
After Uya said a few words to Qingbi, tears welled up in her eyes. She just asked a question, but the palace maid beside the imperial concubine dared to say something in a veiled way about her, saying that she just looked down on her because of her low status!
If it weren't for her family, why would she endure such humiliation?
Uya returned to Yonghe Palace in a bad mood.
Qingbi returned to the West Warm Pavilion and told Yu Suisui about this. Yu Suisui handed her the hot water bottle and said, "Qingbi, don't be angry. It's not good to have a frown on your face."
He turned to Yaobi, who was roasting peanuts in a charcoal basin, and said, "Yaobi, ask Shouan to go to the Qianqing Palace and tell the emperor that I have something and ask the emperor to come over tonight." The danger still needs to be nipped in the bud.
"I will go find Shouan right now." Shouan must have been sleeping soundly in the side room of the back hall, which was because the queen was tolerant. Shouan had only been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for half a month, and the queen felt sorry for him, so she let him rest for a few days and even placed two charcoal basins for him in the side room of the back hall.
But the queen also felt sorry for them, so the four maids took turns to serve in pairs, ten days a week, one day and one night. Compared with the other maids who had to serve all day, they were much more comfortable.
When Kangxi arrived in the evening, it was still a little early. Yu Suisui had just ordered tonight's meals and asked He Laixi to go to the imperial kitchen.
"Cousin, why didn't you make any noise when you came? You scared me." Yu Suisui looked up and saw Kangxi sitting on the couch with his horse and sword in his arms, without making a sound.
Kangxi picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips of hot tea before speaking, "I see you are so absorbed in eating that I can't bear to disturb you." He had never seen the empress in the harem roasting peanuts on a charcoal basin by herself.
"Cousin, you must try it. These peanuts are so delicious." She originally wanted to roast sweet potatoes, but people in the palace believed that eating too many sweet potatoes would cause farting, which was unsightly, and sweet potatoes were basically not available in the palace.
Kangxi took the peanuts, peeled them himself, and tasted quite good. "My cousin said she has something to talk to me about. I wonder what it is?" It was a rare opportunity for his cousin to come to see him. He did not have much government affairs to attend to today, so he went to the harem early.
Yu Suisui dusted off his hands, stood up, and took the boxes he had sorted out for half a year from the antique shelf. "Look at this, cousin. I spent half a year sorting it out."
She was busy for a long time in order to spend the rest of her life leisurely, and improved the promotion system of the harem. According to the original regulations, it was actually OK, but it was too flexible and not conducive to her management. It would be better to make these rules rigid. Kangxi was a person who did not like to follow the rules, but others must follow the rules. The most important thing was that he had an obvious shortcoming - a good reputation.
Kangxi looked at the twenty or so pieces of paper, which were clearly written. The status and treatment of the harem remained unchanged, but the rules for promotion changed. Bannermen and baoyi banners were to be distinguished, with the Manchu banner being the first, the Mongolian banner being the second, and the Han army banner being the third. The baoyi banners were directly unified into one standard.
The starting point of the harem position has also changed. The empresses of banner nationality start from the position of "Ying", the Han army banner "Ying", the Mongolian banner "Changzai", and the Manchu banner "Guiren". If there is a birth, one son is promoted one level, and after reaching the position of "Jin", two sons are promoted one level, and the position of "Guifei" ends. The position of "Guifei" is changed to reward silver and money. If there are daughters, two daughters are promoted one level, and the position ends at "Jin". If a son is born while in the position of "Jin", the same is true. Finally, if there is no childbirth, the position of "Jin" ends after ten years.
That is to say, a Manchu noblewoman would be a noble lady after entering the palace, but to become a concubine she must either give birth to a son or two daughters. If she gave birth to a daughter first and then a son, she would at most receive a little more reward.
As for Baoyi, they all started as official daughters. If they had a son, they would be promoted to the next level, and if they had two daughters, they would be promoted to the next level. Finally, they would become concubines. If a concubine gave birth to a son, and had two sons, they would be promoted to the next level, and the position of imperial concubine would end.
