Rouze had tried to get it done before, for example, by dancing the Jinghong dance and even singing, but Su Tong just watched and listened, and finally just patted his butt and left, with no intention of staying the night at her place.

Rouze also went to ask Concubine De for help, but Concubine De could not control the affairs of her son's courtyard. She could only let her son visit the other courtyard more often.

Su Tong was a filial and obedient child. Although he went to see her, he was just doing it for show. He also stated that he could support Rouze but would not favor her.

It is easy to imagine how miserable the future would be for a woman without children. Rouze was at least lucky because her younger sister was a concubine and had children. Although she could not become rich and powerful, at least she would have no problem staying safe.

The legitimate wife was also from the Ulanara clan. As they had the same surname, he would not be harsh on her, not to mention that she was a woman destined to fall out of favor and posed no threat at all.

Kangxi died a few years earlier than in history, and Su Tong ascended the throne smoothly. The first thing he did was to issue an order to observe three years of mourning for the emperor's mother.

However, the women in the backyard do not care about this. They care more about their own positions. Fu Jin will definitely be the queen, but what about others?

"There are two concubines, but they are both imperial concubines anyway. But will the concubine Nian agree? After all, the father and brother of that concubine are highly valued by the emperor.

If Concubine Li had not given birth to a son and a daughter and had not been favored by the Fourth Master, the position of Concubine would have been replaced long ago."

"There are many masters in the mansion who have sons, and I don't know what position they hold."

"Gege Cao and Gege Xing had a hard life, as they only gave birth to two little princesses.

Li Gege is favored, but unfortunately she has no children. "

…………

People in the mansion were arguing, and after Su Tong had tidied up the palace, he began to issue an edict to confer titles. He was not as stingy as Yongzheng. First, Concubine De would be the Empress Dowager, and the legitimate wife would definitely be the Empress.

Yixiu was canonized as a noble concubine with the title "Xian". Yes, this is my little bad taste, hahahaha...

Li was canonized as a concubine and given the title "Qi", which is also an extremely good word, as Qi means wife.

The concubine was promoted to concubine and given the title Hua.

The concubine of Qi was made a concubine and given the title Duan.

Feng Gege was Jingpin, Geng Gege was Yupin, Song and Wu were concubines (these were the old ladies in the Fourth Master's harem in history. They gave birth to children but failed to keep them. However, in the original owner's world, they gave birth to two little princes.)

Cao Gege, Xin Gege, Li Gege, Rou Gege are your noble ladies…

After the enthronement was completed, the next step was to reward people according to their merits. After a lot of hard work, I finally got everything done.

The concubines in the harem were generally satisfied with these positions. Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin both felt that their lives were miserable. If they had given birth to a little prince, there would probably have to be a queen in the main position.

According to the rules, only the head of a palace can raise her own children, but thinking that they gave birth to two little princesses, Su Tong allowed them to raise their own children, which was also considered to be considerate of their love for their children.

Xinggege's belly was quite fertile. She was found to be three months pregnant just after entering the palace. Perhaps because of the unstable fetal position before, the baby was not delivered until she was about to miscarry, at which point the imperial physician discovered it.

Su Tong still attached great importance to his child. Although the child was not born in the previous life, he still sent people to take good care of him. Although there was no safe delivery, he still kept the child for nine months. With careful care, the child was no different from an ordinary person.

Now there is one noble concubine, three concubines, and four imperial concubines in the harem. The main positions are basically filled, but Su Tong still left a few vacancies. It depends on who is the most obedient and sensible among them.

Concubine Cao has been so anxious lately that her mouth is about to bubble. If it weren't for the fact that she had just given birth to a child and the fact that the Emperor still had to observe mourning, she would have wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible.

"This Concubine Xin... no, she should be Concubine Xin now. She is so lucky. We are both Concubines, but because she gave birth to a little prince, she has become Concubine Xin. Unless she gives birth to another little prince, she can only be a Concubine in this life."

Concubine Cao was a very scheming person. Even though her daughter was raised by her side, she was still unwilling to be a small noble, so she wanted to cling to a high-ranking concubine.

Although Concubine Xian has sons and daughters and is taken care of by the Empress Dowager, she is not favored by the Emperor, and the Emperor has everything he needs. Even if he were to go to the Emperor, he probably wouldn't be valued by the Emperor.

The remaining concubines also have sons and daughters. If you count carefully, the women in the harem are very obedient and do not compete with each other for favors.

In the past, Concubine Hua had done some inappropriate things in order to win favor from the emperor, but she was punished by the emperor and even confined to her home for half a year.

After this incident, even though Concubine Hua was very jealous, she didn't dare to go too far. At most, she would just say some sour words.

Under the supervision of the Queen Mother, the palace rules are strict, and the concubines will not quarrel over trivial matters, and everyone lives in peace.

Concubine Cao was unwilling to accept this. She watched as Concubine Xin, who was not as good as herself, became the main empress, while she was still just a small noblewoman and could not bring any benefit to her daughter at all.

Concubine Cao wanted to plot against other concubines, but she was afraid that if she took action, she might be banished to the cold palace, so she could only crawl secretly in dark corners.

Su Tong thought that everyone would behave themselves after the mourning period, but his mother started to make a fuss, saying that she wanted the emperor to select a concubine. Please? It has been less than a year since his father died, and he is already thinking about finding a woman. Isn't this crazy?

"It's just a preliminary decree. After the three-year period is over, the Emperor will hold a beauty pageant.

After all, the harem is full of old people, and the emperor does need to bring in some new people, and the royal family members also need to be granted marriages, which are all big things. "

Oh, I almost forgot, the selection of concubines for the harem was not done by me alone, but also included members of the royal family and descendants of the Eight Banners.

Su Tong agreed, but he had to wait a year before issuing an edict. Besides, it was time to meet those old men. However, after they saw such a harem, he didn't know if they would still be able to fight.

After Rouze was conferred the title of noble lady, Su Tong moved her directly to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace so that the aunt and niece could get along well. At the same time, he also moved Yixiu to the side of Shoukang Palace.

The Empress Dowager has always valued the Ulanara clan. Even though the current Empress Dowager is not from the same clan as them, it is impossible for her to take action against them just based on their surname, not to mention that they have two legitimate princes.

The Queen's position was stable, and the concubines below her dared not challenge her. Even the slightly hot-tempered Concubine Hua had to obediently follow the rules of a concubine.

Su Tong felt that it was because the fat man in the past did not do a good enough job that the women in the harem were fighting like chickens. Look how good things are after he came. The women in the harem no longer have any jealousy, and he has so many sons and daughters.
