My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 209
The will of Concubine Shu and Concubine Jin was promulgated to the world by the Ming Dynasty.

If there is only one concubine in the palace, the title is often omitted and she is called the concubine directly, but now, there must be two concubines, one should be Concubine Jiang and the other Concubine Rong.

And in terms of seniority, even if she is cohabiting as a noble concubine, Concubine Rong is still a senior with seniority, so she should sit in the top position on the left, with her as the first.However, the news in the palace revealed that the emperor intends to keep the title for the Jiang family, or to grant a new title...

"Give it again? That one has been changed twice."

"First, she has a beautiful face, then Mingyue Rugu, and then Concubine Shu. What good words did the emperor find for her this time?"

"Let's get rid of Rou, Gong, Shun and Wan first!"

The officials of the Foreign Affairs Yamen laughed.

While laughing, I was also a little surprised. It is not easy to be promoted as a concubine. The higher the rank, the harder it is to be promoted. Lu Ronghua has been in the position of Ronghua for half his life, and the fourth concubine has been vacant for a long time: "Speaking of it, Concubine Jiang is more Sacred Heart?"

"The Rong family made a big mistake. It is Long Chong's tolerance not to implicate the noble concubine. According to the previous emperor's example, the guilty concubine who has nothing to do will have to go to the cold palace, and it is best to stay under house arrest in his own palace until death. It's really hard to say who is more favored under the situation of ebb and flow."

One of them came to a conclusion: "The one most trusted by the emperor must be Concubine Jiang. She may have read all the notes you and I have written."

Speaking of this, several people showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

How decent it is for women to interfere in politics!
Over the years, there have been a lot of papers criticizing this matter, all of which were suppressed by the emperor, and now, the most eloquent Prince Xie in front of the emperor, he very much approves of Concubine Jiang's Qiankun Palace assisting the government, and instead questioned They: "Don't you feel that you are inferior to ignorant women?"

The thin-skinned civil servant blushed and his neck was thick.

"Did Concubine Jiang give Prince Xie some soup?"

"Who knows."

Similar sayings, in some people's mouths, have even evolved into Jiang's daughter being fascinated by two thanks, all dumped under her pomegranate skirt...

Xie Wangye laughed it off.

How did they know that if the emperor hadn't used Concubine Jiang Gui as a testimony that he used people on merit, he would still be squatting in his palace and pretending to be an idiot.He is a grateful person, and he will not despise Jiang Guifei just because she is a woman.

This time, Jiang Xian had to be made a noble concubine, so Xie Wangye asked Wangfei to prepare congratulatory gifts early, and carried them to the mansion one by one, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

……

Jianzhang Palace.

The concubines who were assigned to the palace affairs came here one after another, and Ma Ronghua arrived first, and after receiving the errand, she didn't dare to stay longer, and the queen didn't keep her, so she let her go.

Concubine Zhang Xian was the second to arrive.

"Now all the courtiers and concubines think, it's better to learn from the empress and not ask about common things."

"How can it be?"

The queen told her to give up the idea: "This is for your qualifications, you should be grateful."

Concubine Zhang Xian is sober in the world: "The position of noble concubine is full, no matter how rich the qualifications are, they can only be written on the tombstones of the concubines. Can you be famous in history for sharing melons and fruits for eunuchs and maids?"

Housework, just like housework.

Can't stop for a day, no one will notice if it's done well, and it will be liquidated immediately if it fails. Concubine Zhang Xian is not particularly keen on this. In the past, there was a carrot hanging in front of her when she got to the position of imperial concubine, and she still had a little energy .

The queen thought about it, and comforted her: "If I die, I should choose from two concubines in the future, and then there will be a free concubine? You work hard, work hard, even if I only have one breath left , I also ask the emperor to grant you this grace."

"Miss!"

When Fu Jin heard his master joking about his life and death, and said such unlucky words, he couldn't help being anxious.

At this time, Concubine Rong, who was passed in, just heard this, and smiled calmly: "Concubine Xian, don't worry, chasing the seal is also a seal."

Concubine Zhang Xian: "..."

How should I put it, after the downfall of the Rong family, the noble concubines were mobilized and attacked, not without reason.When women in the harem pay attention to softness, virtue, chastity, gentleness and virtuousness, she has long chosen to have a bad mouth without distinction, and hate everyone equally.

There's nothing wrong with having a bad mouth.

There is no particular reason or difficulty, just for fun.

The queen scolded: "Your concubine, be careful with your words."

Concubine Rong gave her a perfunctory gift, and after receiving the seat, she said in a strange way: "Your Majesty is busy with people, I forgot that I should be called Concubine Rong Gui now, and there is more than one concubine," she lamented, her beautiful eyes sweeping On Concubine Zhang Xian, he said in a manly voice: "I made a slip of the tongue for a while, please don't blame Concubine Xian."

"I don't blame you."

According to Concubine Zhang Xian's understanding of her, this is Shen Yan's version of Concubine Rong.

Not long after she sat down, it was heard outside the door that Jiang Guifei had arrived.

The edict has been issued, everyone can change their minds, but the ceremony has not yet been held, and it is unknown whether the emperor will propose a separate title for her.

One queen and three concubines gathered together, and Concubine Zhang Xian had a sudden idea: "If you play mahjong, everyone will be there."

"Then I'll disappoint everyone. I don't know how to play mahjong," Jiang Xian said after a pause, "However, as long as you tell me the rules, I can learn the rules quickly. You just need to let me down."

"Don't be surprised, she can't do anything related to fun."

Concubine Rong sneered.

Concubine Zhang Xian gave her a sympathetic look.

Life is alive, and you can't play, so it's so boring!
Jiang Xian was not annoyed, she just smiled and said: "The main thing is that I can't gather enough people at ordinary times. How can I have so many friends who can be called out to get together? Things that two people can play are suitable for me and the imperial concubine."

Concubine Zhang Xian was surprised to find that Concubine Rong Guifei, who had always had a stinky face after entering the door, softened her expression after hearing the words, and was even pleased: "You should ask Mrs. Chen to come and play with you."

"Just her? I'm afraid I'll lose all the wealth I've accumulated since entering the palace to you."

"Her family property is full of broken silver, worthless."

Concubine Zhang Xian remembered Chen Guiren, who was very silent and didn't talk much, and liked to hide in the dark and blend in with the court ladies.

The queen was smiling and watching the two noble concubines bickering, even the palace that smelled of medicine all the year round came alive.When you don’t have it, you don’t feel it. With a concubine who is close and friendly, you find that people really need other people’s company. It has nothing to do with men and women. Sometimes women get along better.

Jiang Xian turned her head and said, "Does your mother know how to play mahjong?"

"I'm not good at this."

"She's not interested in fighting with others," Concubine Rong interrupted: "Before she got married, she always just watched and didn't join in gatherings of noble ladies in Beijing."

"Watching other people play is more interesting than playing by yourself."

The Queen doesn't deny it.

Concubine Zhang Xian looked sideways, Concubine Rong Gui was quite ashamed to bring up old things, she was the most annoying thing in Beijing, she kept grudges when she fell behind and lost, she asked her father and brother to come forward to support her, she became notorious, no matter how poor her family background was, she could make friends with her As a close friend in her boudoir, she only has a little girl from the Ma family who is willing to be her follower.A good Miss Di, in her hands is no different from a high-ranking maid.

It's because Jiang Xian is not in the same circle and doesn't know her dark history.

Thinking so, Concubine Zhang Xian didn't expose her background.

After all, she is bound to become angry from embarrassment.

"Let's get back to business, I want to devote myself to worshiping the Buddha and recuperating from my illness, so I called you here to share my worries." The queen looked at Jiang Xian: "Although you have just become a noble concubine, you can do things reliably, so you should take care of this burden." Some, you have something to discuss, don't hurt your peace because of this."

Don't tear it up and ask her to come out to mediate.

The queen worships the Buddha behind closed doors, don't cue.

"The concubine understands, so I don't want my mother to worry," Jiang Xian responded, and said to Concubine Rong next to her: "In the future, there will be many places to ask my sister for advice, I'm afraid I will often go to Zhaoyang Palace to bother you."

Concubine Rong: "Come if you want, I won't miss a meal for you."

Jiang Xian didn't feel any sarcasm at this level, but Concubine Zhang Xian showed her reluctance all over her face. She really didn't want to go to Zhaoyang Palace to discuss matters, but this was the only choice left.

Ugh……

Concubine Zhang Xian suddenly understood the queen's idea of ​​hiding from the world.

Above the concubine position, what's not to like in the harem!

In terms of material comfort, it is at the top level.

It's better to live behind closed doors than to take matters into your own hands.

Concubine Zhang Xian was very emotional.

The third concubine went to Jianzhang Palace to discuss matters, and when the palace power was divided, they went back to each palace. Concubine Rong Gui and Concubine Zhang Xian had to work, but Jiang Xian was the one who had the power to assist the sixth palace. , and immediately understood that apart from the Big Three, the person who could not offend the most was Concubine Jiang.

She, holds the power in her hands.

It was equivalent to working under her hands in the future.

And this time, although Concubine Rong is obviously shorter than Concubine Jiang by a little bit, what she gets is the part of the House of Internal Affairs, which is not only a real power, but also let the palace people know that although she is out of favor, the empress is Give her face, she is still a high-ranking imperial concubine, and she can't be treated slowly just because she fell out of favor.

……

Seven days later, the ceremony for the imperial concubine was officially held.

The princess, concubine and the wife bowed down, and the bright yellow silk and satin fluttering in the wind hurt the eyes of many people, but no one was surprised——Over the years, Concubine Jiang has given birth to a son and a daughter, and has made great contributions to the empress dowager. Blocking the fatal sword, she always devoted herself to sharing the emperor's worries. As long as the tasks assigned to her were properly overfulfilled, she never let others down.

The young Princess Taihua took Princess Yongping's hand and kowtowed politely.

For many concubines, the Jinfeng ceremony is both painful and joyful.

The heavy court clothes were all supported by the adrenaline of reaching the pinnacle of life.

As for Jiang Xian, she had good physical strength, so she only felt that the imperial concubine's court dress was a bit cumbersome, but it would not affect her actions. She stood beside the emperor and slowly spoke while listening to the solemn Jin seal words.

"Shu Concubine Jiang's family was granted by heaven to inherit Zhao Neiwei, Pi Zhao Shuhui, respect and bow carefully, and now Jin is a noble concubine, bestowed the title Hao..."

Because the empress is the head of the harem, according to Yan Chi's rules, she has to read this passage, and the promotion of a concubine is justified and approved by the empress of the middle palace, but...

What's with Hao's title!

The Ministry of Rites sent a lot of characters with excellent meanings. Among them, the queen felt that with Jiang Xian's popularity, the characters Zhen, Xi and Duan were all very good. After scolding for two days in the previous court, it was impossible for the emperor to withdraw his order.

Chen is the residence of the emperor.

With this title, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a concubine of the same emperor.

Happened to get a Hao...

This word is suitable for the prince's name, I'm afraid I chose the wrong title?However, such a major event as being promoted to the title of imperial concubine should not go wrong. After all, if a mistake is made, the head will fall... The queen has a lot of mental activities. From the outsiders' eyes, it is just a momentary pause before continuing: Virtue, with Zhao Enjuan, I hope that in the future, I will cultivate virtue and be self-sufficient, and offer it diligently."

In the latter case, the queen is too difficult to accept.

You are already titled Hao, but you still practice virtue and self-restraint, what kind of energy do you put in so diligently?
Hao has the meaning of the vast sky. When Qianlong went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, he left behind the four characters "Qinruo Haotian". After analysis by later generations, it should refer to the sky, nature or God... In terms of nobility, no one can match it. its about.Of course, no one thought that the emperor would enshrine a concubine as a god, so Hao here should mean the sky or the sky.

The female relatives who kowtowed below were also dumbfounded.

This should not be a title given to women.

But since it is written in the imperial decree, it is the meaning of the Holy Majesty. No one dares to jump out on this occasion and say that the emperor's ID is wrong. .

The queen mother cast doubtful eyes on her son again and again.

If Jiang Xian were named as Concubine Chen, the Queen Mother would stare at her, but she felt that the title of Hao was just an operation that her son came up with, so she thought this title was cool!interesting!He is worthy of the favorite concubine on the tip of his heart.

After all, which girl would want a title with the word "Hao"?
It has nothing to do with the virtues a woman should have.

……

[The concubine of the Jin Dynasty, got the title that shocked the whole Liugong, the palace fighting points +2000! ! ! 】

Jiang Xian walked through the process without squinting, feeling a turmoil in her heart.

……

After the concubine conferment ceremony was over, the emperor accompanied the queen mother back to Changle Palace.

Send out the idlers, and when the door is closed, the queen mother can't hold back the evil fire, she sighs heavily when she sits down, fearing that the queen mother will be angry, she hurriedly waits for her to help her: "This title... the emperor I didn't tell the Ai family before the ceremony. Is it because I think the Ai family is too strong and won't be scared at the ceremony? How do you want the Ai family to explain to the late emperor under the nine springs? There is a title called Hao’s daughter-in-law? Please tell me what’s going on, Your Majesty.”

The son wanted to be a noble concubine, but the queen mother did not stop him.

Let Jiang Xian perform the silkworm kissing ceremony in the honor of the imperial concubine... The queen mother felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but it hurt the queen's face. Since the queen nodded, she didn't bother to argue with her son about it.Even if he had some complaints, thinking about the scene where Jiang Xian blocked himself in front of him, he calmed down.

But this title really made the queen mother angry.

Because she felt that this was the emperor's willful manipulation, and Jiang Xian herself did not benefit from it. What do you mean by this picture?

The emperor told her not to worry.

The empress dowager was relieved at first, but she couldn't sit still after being persuaded like this: "The second time the emperor comes, the Ai family can go directly to see the first emperor!"

"This title is my own idea, and has nothing to do with Concubine Hao. I just like this word and want to give her a title."

"... Jane is not good? The meaning of Xi is also good. If it doesn't work, you have to give her the word Ai and she will recognize it."

"It's good, it's not special enough, I don't like it."

"The emperor likes the word Hao, so I can add it to myself."

"Isn't this just a lack of a title? It has been bestowed anyway, and I can't take it back... The queen mother should be considerate of me, I really think this title sounds nice."

What the emperor has confirmed, even ten cows can't pull it back.

The queen mother lost her temper by him.

"You think this title is good for yourself, even the Jiang family may not like it. It's not as good as the previous Shu and Gu. It's a title for women..." The queen mother became vigilant: "Your Majesty, listen, the posthumous posthumous name of the Ai family after a hundred years No. You have to follow the rules, the Ai family doesn't want this kind of honor."

The matter of Noble Concubine Hao is a foregone conclusion, and the Empress Dowager thinks that her posthumous name is more important.

The emperor immediately agreed: "I will definitely think of something for the queen mother."

It's a pity that the queen mother didn't believe his taste anymore, and decided to choose a good one in advance despite the bad luck.

　This title is not a bad idea, and I will explain it to the heroine in the next chapter
