The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year

In March of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Yixiu officially moved into Kunning Palace as the Empress of the Qing Dynasty.

Originally, according to Pangju's idea, he wanted to abandon both the Qianqing Palace of the late emperor and the Kunning Palace where the queen was supposed to live.

But Yixiu was not happy. She was already the queen, so why should she be forced to stay in the six palaces in the east and west?

After bribing the director of the Imperial Observatory, Pangju immediately gave up the idea of ​​abandoning the Qianqing Palace and choosing the Yangxin Palace. In this way, it was natural for Yixiu to move into the Kunning Palace.

As for Kunning Palace, is it too cold because it has been used as a place for sacrifices all year round?

It's okay, just renovate it. Because of Empress Yixiu's meddling, Pangju had confiscated many properties before ascending the throne, especially those of the wealthy bondservants. So now, neither the national treasury nor the emperor's private treasury is short of money.

Secondly, among the concubines, the concubine Nian Shilan in the Qiandi Palace was named Hua Fei, the head of the concubines, and lived alone in the Yiku Palace; the concubine Li Jingyan was named Qi Fei, ranked below Hua Fei, and lived in the main hall of the Changchun Palace.

Among the concubines, Song Yinshu (who gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor) was given the title of Xianpin and lived in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace; Ru Yueying (who gave birth to the second prince) was given the title of Hepin and lived in the main hall of Jingren Palace; Geng Qiuyue (who gave birth to the fifth prince) was given the title of Qianpin and lived in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace.

Among the several princesses in the imperial residence, Qi Yuebin had the highest rank, was named Concubine Duan, and lived in Jingyang Palace.

Yunshu was given the title of Wanpin and lived in the main hall of Chengqian Palace; Fei Yunyan was given the title of Lipin and was the mistress of Qixiang Palace, Cao Qinmo was given the title of Guiren and lived in the same palace with her; Feng Ruozhao was given the title of Jingguiren and was specially allowed to live in the main hall of Xianfu Palace.

Lu Mingzhu was given the title of Noble Lady and lived with Feng Ruozhao in Xianfu Palace; Lü Yingfeng was given the title of Noble Lady Xin and lived in the East Side Hall of Jingren Palace; Xu Hui was given the title of Noble Lady Fang and lived in the East Side Hall of Yongshou Palace.

Among the concubines, Chang Yun and Wang Zhaoyun were both given the title of concubine and were housed in the east and west side halls of the Yanxi Palace respectively. The rest of the women, including officials, were housed in the rear enclosure of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the rear hall of the Yanxi Palace respectively.

In addition, some princesses who had passed away while in the palace were also given additional titles. Among them, Hongli's biological mother Li Jingui was posthumously given the title of "Ding Ying" along with the concubines and palace maids who had served Pang Ju but had no formal titles.

Hongli felt lost but also a little excited – 'Although the promised rank is low, at least my mother has finally been recognized by my father!' And he was no longer the wild child born to an unknown palace maid!

Yixiu's son Honghui was granted the title of Prince Yong and lived with his first wife Fu Cha Wensheng in Yangxing Palace. The rest of Prince Yong's female relatives lived in Leshou Hall.

The other sons were not granted any titles yet and lived together in the three southern residences.

The emperor was showing blatant favoritism, but no one dared to question it. Honghui was the late emperor's appointed heir apparent to the Yong clan, personally nurtured for years by the late emperor. His favor matched that of Hongxi, the prince of Li. He had also long participated in government affairs, accumulating considerable prestige and influence in the previous dynasty.

As for princesses, married princesses lived with their biological mothers until the age of four, and after the age of four they were all placed in Yonghe Palace.

In this life, after Fat Orange ascended the throne, he was also too busy with political affairs to take care of the harem, but the empress dowager was able to sit still.

As expected, Honghui, who had the blood of both Aisin Gioro and Ulanara, would be the next emperor. Ulanara's son married the daughter of Empress Chunyuan, and the Empress Dowager's mother's family, Uya, also had a girl who served as a concubine in Honghui's backyard.

As long as they are not involved in treason and other disasters that will result in the execution of nine generations of their clan, the glory of the Ulanara and Uya families can be preserved for three generations.

Although the Emperor's offspring were not as numerous as those of the previous emperor, they were not few either, and the Empress Dowager was already very satisfied. Her greatest wish now was to wait for her eldest grandson, Honghui, to ascend the throne and release her youngest son so that she could spend her old age with him.

Therefore, the empress dowager in this life was not in a hurry to urge the emperor to hold a beauty contest.

On the contrary, the court officials of the previous dynasty had made some suggestions. After the initial busyness, Fat Ju was somewhat tempted, so he first sounded out the Queen Yixiu.

Yixiu readily nodded in agreement. The princes and members of the royal family had to be married off eventually. As for the emperor's choice of a concubine, Yixiu didn't care. After all, on the day he ascended the throne, Yixiu had completely eliminated his possibility of having children.

Previously, in order to prevent the late emperor from questioning whether his wife had any problems with his offspring or that she, as the legitimate wife, was unkind, she could only give Pangju the pill that would bring him many daughters and more blessings. But now that Pangju has ascended the throne, there is no need for her daughter to have another one.

After all, the princess's dowry was extravagant, and Yixiu didn't have that much money to help the emperor raise his daughter. Wouldn't it be better to keep the money for her own children and grandchildren?

【small theater】

Fat Orange: What about me? What on earth am I in the eyes of the Empress Dowager?!

The Empress Dowager: "Fourth Prince, you're already the Emperor, what are you still dissatisfied with? Why do you have to compare yourself with Fourteenth Prince?"

Fat Orange: All these years of mother-son friendship and time have been wasted (;﹏;)

----

In August of the following year, the first selection of concubines in the Yongzheng Dynasty finally began.

Because Yixiu was busy with both harem duties and taking care of her precious granddaughter, this time the selection was still presided over by Concubine Hua.

Well, the real reason was that Yixiu felt that the throne would belong to Honghui sooner or later, and the money in the national treasury and the inner treasury would naturally belong to her own children, so her Pixiu attribute took effect and she was reluctant to spend money on choosing wives for Pangju and the royal relatives. So she and Pangju hit it off and threw the trouble to Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua lived up to everyone's expectations and paid for the matter out of her own pocket to do it beautifully. Fat Ju was so happy that he praised her again and again.

In the last round of palace selection, the Queen Mother happened to be unwell and therefore did not show up, so Fat Ju called Yixiu to join in.

The emperor kept Nianhulu Rongzheng and Fang Jia Chunyi among the beauties of Manchuria. However, Fang Jia Chunyi was too young, and Pang Ju had more than three living sons in this life, so Fang Jia Chunyi was taken away by Yixiu.

"Princess Fangjia is about the same age as Hongshi. Hongshi only has two princesses serving him in the backyard now, which is a bit too few. Your Majesty, why don't you give Princess Fangjia to Hongshi?"

(This article assumes that Hongshi was born in the 21nd year of the Kangxi reign and is now years old)

Fat Orange pondered for a moment and agreed. After all, although Fang Jiachunyi looked festive, she had a childish appearance and her eyes were as pure as a child. When Fat Orange saw her, he thought of his daughters and was somewhat hesitant to take action against her.

"Then I, the concubine, would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of Concubine Qi and the Third Prince."

Perhaps with age, Yixiu's heart has softened. The original owner and Fang Jiachun had no grudges, and the harem was full of endless fighting, so it was better for this unfortunate child not to come in.

Hongshi has a gentle temperament and a simple backyard. He also has an elder brother, Honghui, who is outstanding in every way, who looks down on him. He has no intention of competing for the throne and only wants to learn from his seventeenth uncle and become a leisurely prince.

This may be a little unmotivated, but Fang Jiachunyi is not a person who seeks wealth and fame. She is eccentric, greedy and playful, which makes her a good match for Hongshi.

In this life, Ma Qi had been preemptively promoted to Fatty Ju's harem by the previous emperor, and his daughter had secured the position of Honghui's legitimate wife. Therefore, the Fucha family no longer needed to send their daughter to the palace as a sign of submission. In the previous life, Noble Lady Fucha had been successfully selected on the day of the palace selection, and the one waiting for her was the son of a family friend whose family background matched hers.

However, the Niuhulu family had to follow the path of the Fucha family in the previous life, which led to Niuhulu Rongzheng's participation in the election. Coincidentally, this person was the daughter of Niuhulu's first marriage, and Yixiu was very curious: Could Niuhulu Rongzheng be the Imperial Concubine Xi in this life?

As for the beautiful girls from the Mongolian army, the emperor didn't like any of them. Even Borjigit, who was selected to enter the palace in the previous life, was given to the second prince Hongyan as a concubine.

(This article assumes that Hongyu was born in September of the 36th year of the Kangxi reign. Now it is the second year of the Yongzheng reign, and Hongyu is already 26 years old.)

It's not that the daughters of the Manchu and Mongolian flags are not good, but the emperor is now in his forties, has gained weight, and has an unpredictable and unfeeling temperament, while Prince Yong Honghui's position is as stable as Mount Tai.

Unless Fat Orange can live as long and have children as the late emperor, how could those old foxes be willing to let their precious daughters serve him?

Therefore, many noble ladies used various connections to inform Yixiu or the Empress Dowager before the palace selection, "My daughter and the son of XX family are compatible. I hope you can help them make a good match."

Yixiu was naturally happy to do these favors, after all, these people sent her so many good things!

The last day of the palace selection is the main event for the Han army flag beauties.

She had already seen several rounds of selections in the morning, but none of them were chosen. Empress Yixiu, acting as Empress, advised, "Two days ago, only one beauty from the Manchu and Mongolian banners was selected for the harem, and now the Emperor doesn't even like any beauty from the Han banner."

Fat Orange commented bluntly, "They are all vulgar!"

Yixiu: ...

"Hoo—take a deep breath!"

Yixiu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Yes, yes, yes, we are all vulgar, but you are not vulgar! You use people's sincerity to pretend, and you are so angry that you die of being cuckolded. You are the most vulgar~ Omit!"
