After the rebirth, Aijia and Bamboo Horseshoe printed him

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhou Shuhe grabbed Chen Qingming's cuff and pulled her back. When the strength of the sleeve in her hand weakened, she let go and followed a group of people silently to the queen's residence.

According to the rules, the concubines of the new book should wait in a small room beside them, and wait for the first concubines to arrive before being recruited into the palace by the empress.

The Yihe Palace group started a little late, and when Zhou Shuhe entered, ten of the thirteen ladies who entered the palace yesterday had already arrived.Those with lower ranks have to salute her, and she has to greet those with higher ranks, and when they come again, they repeat the process again, so it takes a lot of talking and talking, and it's hard to sit down and drink tea to moisturize voice.

Chen Xiaoxiao arrived early, and there were a lot of people in the room, and they only said some scene words about how you make me feel good.

After sitting down to have some tea again, Chu Qing, the maid in front of the empress, opened the curtain to enter, and said, "The empress has summoned me, ladies, please."

The harem of Emperor Taiping was the only one in the Daning Dynasty that exceeded the standard. In addition to the three wives, the nine concubines, the 27th wife, and the 81st royal wife, there was also a nine-rank sesame position called Cainu. And unqualified waiters.

The concubines who entered the palace through the general election all started as picking girls, and four of Zhou Shuhe's batch of beautiful girls were selected as picking girls.Generally, these people would not be sealed into the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, but would all be stuffed into the Liangyi Hall. Whenever the emperor got tired of seeing these people in the palace, he would go to the Liangyi Hall to "digging for treasure".

She was finally selected by the emperor to become a concubine, but she didn't know how long she would have to wait to be favored. She fell into such an embarrassing situation, and some people even dubbed it "Lesbian Scholars".

The selection of servants is the first title after being selected as the second or third class in the general election, or a woman who has not been drafted into the palace like Xiang concubine.Although there is no rank, but after having such a night with the emperor, and the role model of Xiangfei in front of her, it seems that she has a better future than Cainu.

Both of them have never been canonized, and they are not qualified to come to Jingren Palace to pay respects to the queen.But even if these hundreds of people are excluded, and those who are sick and leave, those who are punished by the queen, those who are abandoned by the emperor in the cold palace, and those who are dissatisfied with the vacancies, etc., there are nearly NO.80 concubines on the list.

In addition, there were 13 of Zhou Shuhe and the others, as well as the two maids who could accompany Jieyu into the palace when she greeted her, the four maids of the concubine, the eight maids of the imperial concubine, and the sixteen court ladies on both sides of the queen's throne...

This time the people and horses are all in one group, thanks to the fact that the main hall of Kunren Palace is a big hall, so it is necessary to let the senior qualifications of the fourth-rank beauties and below stand outside the hall.

Fortunately, this kind of grand audience is only once every three years when the new concubine enters the palace. In addition, the daily morning and evening appointments also go in batches according to the palace.Unless something important happened, there would be at most two turns in Yihe Palace today and Shangyang Palace tomorrow, and there would never be such a big battle like today.

Zhou Shuhe walked past all kinds of beauties on both sides, a very long path, and she only stared at the back of the head of the person in front.

At the end of the road, several people bowed three times and kowtowed nine times according to the etiquette they had learned in the Chuxiu Academy. After the ceremony, they said in unison: "May the queen be blessed and safe."

The queen also held the ceremony, and said with a slight smile: "Get up quickly, and see all the concubines."

After two years of studying in Chuxiu Academy every morning, the uniform etiquette of this group of people finally came in handy.

"Empress, Xiao Baolin seems to have missed a salute to you." A voice came from the upper left, with a playful smile.

Concubine Zhuang played with the newly made Kou Dan, although she was talking to the queen, her words were focused on Chen Xiaoxiao.

"On the first day a concubine enters the palace, she has to see the queen and kneel three times and kowtow nine times. After she attends the bed for the first time, she also has to see the queen. Kneel three times and kowtow nine times. Only Xiaobaolin is combined into one. Such frugality is a model of the court. You all have to learn a little bit."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

If seeing is believing, no one would have thought that Concubine Zhuang is such a person.

Among the three concubines, Noble Concubine Jia is the biological mother of King Ning, and Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the Eldest Princess. These two raised the emperor's son and daughter. It is the childless and elderly Concubine Zhuang Ning Chan.

Concubine Zhuang's father was the Empress Dowager's elder brother, who was the magistrate of Suzhou at the time. She married into Qiandi at the age of 17 and became the side concubine of the 23rd prince who was one year older than her. All the while, she was the only first-rank concubine before Jia and Xian were promoted due to their meritorious service in childbirth.

She is now forty-two, and at this age, many people would be grandmothers. With the title "Zhuang", which implies virtue, prosperity, courtesy and respect, it is easy to outline a dignified and modest image in people's minds. He is such a flamboyant person.

"I know I was wrong." Chen Xiaoxiao didn't explain, and knelt down without saying a word.

"It's good to know you're wrong, Israel can't serve people for a long time, I advise you to be more peaceful in the future."

There are a lot of things to do today, the empress suppressed her impatience and interrupted her, "Concubine Zhuang is serious, Xiao Baolin came to Kunren Palace to salute before the big audience today, and the people that His Majesty values ​​are naturally savvy. You Whether you or your sisters are all virtuous people, we will serve His Majesty well in the future and set an example for Mrs. Daning."

Concubine Zhuang snorted, and she was not forgiving, and blurted out: "I'm afraid that she will spoil Miss Zhou. If Miss Zhou's appearance makes His Majesty angry..."

"Be careful."

The empress lowered her tone, and even the birds outside the hall seemed to have stopped chirping, and the whole area fell silent.Just now she talked and talked for a long time, but she didn't see Concubine Zhuang calm down, so just two words now make people stop.

There were several curious gazes from the side, and even the queen glanced at her casually. Zhou Shuhe watched her carefully, wishing that people could not close their ears, so that he could properly express his attitude of not listening or watching.

If you want to know the secrets, you just ask in private, but now your eyes are darkened, but you can't be the first bird in front of the empress and favorite concubine.

"The empress is the lord of the six palaces, so she must correct the words and deeds of the concubines and protect all the concubines; and the elder sister of the concubine Zhuang has always been quick to talk, but she didn't intend to make things difficult for anyone. These concubines know it, and all the sisters know it too. Xiao Xiao It's the first time for my younger sister and younger sister Zhou to meet, so I'm afraid my heart is breaking right now."

The one who spoke was Concubine Jia Zhu Chun, she is also an old person in the Qian Mansion, she is half a rank higher than Concubine Zhuang, she is the head of all concubines, and the birth mother of the eldest son of the emperor, she speaks well in front of the Empress and Concubine Zhuang Let's talk.

At this time, she showed a gentle and gentle attitude towards the previous one, and she also teased Chen and Zhou Zhou with just the right amount of kindness. As soon as the call was over, the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed again.

Since the steps were given, Zhou Shuhe would of course go down. She turned sideways with Chen Xiaoxiao, and blessed the noble concubine Jia, who was on the right, and said repeatedly that she dare not, how come, the ladies in the palace speak nicely and are all very kind words like people.

After about a quarter of an hour, the queen said she was tired, and the concubines took the opportunity to leave, Zhou Shuhe and Chen Xiaoxiao went to her Xuejixuan in Shangyang Palace.

Chen Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the floor, waved her hands to make the maids on the left and right back down, and went straight in: "Just now in Kunren Palace, do you understand what the empress said to Concubine Zhuang?"

Zhou Shuhe shook his head: "I just entered the palace, and I really don't understand how dumb they are. It's okay for you to go to bed early, but it's my business."

"Don't take the next words seriously, I don't know if it's true or not." Chen Xiaoxiao rarely looked so mysterious, and Zhou Shuhe became a little nervous for no reason.

"Yesterday the eunuch from the imperial court came to pass on the servant. I only asked a few random questions, but he took the initiative to talk about it. At that time, I was only surprised. Seeing the empress and concubine Zhuang talking in a hidden way today, it must be a secret of the Zhuang court. I feel uneasy, I don’t know what this person’s intentions are when he speaks like this, just listen, don’t believe it, and don’t believe it completely.”

Zhou Shuhe's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Who is it?"

"what?"

"Who is the imperial eunuch you are talking about?"

"..."

Chen Xiaoxiao looked her up and down, feeling that this person couldn't grasp the point, but she still replied patiently: "Time is too tight, I didn't inquire too much, I only know that the person is Qi Yu, who is in charge of the Hall of Mental Cultivation young prisoner."
