Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 208
Longevity Palace.

The Queen Mother and the Empress looked at Emperor Qinglong and were a little stunned. Why did they suddenly want to amend the palace regulations, but they were still going in the direction of reduction.

The empress was a little puzzled. Obviously, in the past two years, every time her father sent a message, he always said that singing and dancing had brought peace, that the Qing Dynasty was getting better and better, and that the people were well fed and clothed.Why is it that when it comes to the palace, people and points will be reduced?

"Mother, there are some things that you will know later. Now, I would like to ask you to come out and help the queen to check things out." Emperor Qinglong was also a little embarrassed to speak.

"Okay." The Queen Mother also heard about the recent trend in Chaoli. It seems to be no small matter. The Emperor must have a big plan.

Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed, the Queen stopped talking.

Within a few days, the Queen Mother in the palace issued an edict.

The general content is that after praying for the royal family for three years, the number of concubines will be reduced by half, and the manpower around them will be reduced by one-third.All palace ladies who are over 22 years old can apply to leave the palace. If they are unwilling to leave the palace, they can continue to stay in the palace.

This edict caused an uproar, and the concubines talked a lot.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu had followed Emperor Qinglong in their early years. Because they followed the emperor early, they were granted the title of concubine and lived a comfortable and ordinary life.To be honest, even they themselves felt that there were too many people to serve. In fact, they only needed the two or three people around them. Even if they added daily cleaning, they would not need dozens of people.

Therefore, the two people asked the people around them about their intentions and reported the list of people to be released early.Those who were useful around him took the initiative to apply for leaving the palace, and they all agreed, treating them as masters and servants.

Most of the concubines in the palace are like Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu.In addition to these two concubines, there is also Concubine De and Concubine Xi. Concubine De cannot have an opinion as she is still locked up, but Ruyi knows it well.

Further down, no one from Li Guibin, Ma Guiren, Yu Guiren, Huameiren, and Sun Meiren dared to raise objections. The rest were Chang Zai and agreed.Even those who complained a little were suppressed by the words of the Queen Mother's decree to pray for the royal family. Who dares to be the one who stands out.

As the mother of a country, the Queen sets an example.Concubine Wen originally wanted to shout, but was persuaded by Aunt Rong.

These are all okay, at least, the concubines did not feel that they could not survive, and they only had three years to pray for blessings.

However, Emperor Qinglong personally issued an imperial edict, which surprised Ruyi and everyone inside and outside the palace.

Before Ruyi went shopping with the old emperor for the first time, Emperor Qinglong had introduced that the Qing Dynasty was much more relaxed about women than the previous dynasty. Widow remarriage and remarriage after separation were allowed and encouraged, and women could also come out to make a living. make money.

At that time, Ruyi felt that the Qing Kingdom was not as feudal as she had imagined, and it still had merits.But I never expected that the emperor would be so generous this time and allow an official woman without rank to leave the palace and marry another person.

I didn't understand what this meant at first, but Dongxue gave an example, which is Lingxi.Ruyi suddenly remembered that when she was pregnant with Xiao Junjun, the old emperor drank too much and favored a palace maid. Later, she was imprisoned for some reason.

I heard that Nanny Deng is still a sweet godmother, and I even visited her. Apart from the lack of freedom, she was pretty good staying in the small courtyard.

This Lingxi belongs to an official woman without rank. I heard that there are about ten such official women in the palace.Ruyi secretly grinded his molars, this old pervert.

"Lingxi, listen to your godmother and go out when you have the chance. You will just die alone in this palace." Nanny Deng took a look at Lingxi at Emperor Qinglong's signal.

"Godmother, I haven't thought about it yet." Lingxi couldn't believe it. She had already become the emperor's woman. How could she leave the palace and marry someone else?
"This is actually a good thing. If you find someone outside the palace who understands both cold and hot, how can you not live a good life just because of your beauty?" Aunt Deng did it for the sake of Lingxi, "Besides, there is a godmother in the palace. , the person you are looking for will not dare to make you suffer."

Lingxi was a little moved, but she was afraid that she would be the only one out of the palace and be laughed at by others.

"This is all decided by the emperor, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will register it when you leave the palace. Each person can be assigned a cement house in the suburbs of Beijing." This solves the housing problem. If my mother's family cannot go back, I can live alone. With a place to stay, even if you marry someone, you won't be afraid of being treated harshly by your husband's family.

Lingxi looked around, he had been imprisoned for more than two years, should he continue?

"Okay, godmother, I'm going out of the palace, and you can leave the palace in the future, and I'll take care of you." Lingxi was wiser in the end.

With Lingxi being the first one and being specially publicized, most of the remaining official women are willing to leave the palace and marry another person. Anyway, since they can't see their end in the palace, they might as well go out and give it a try.
