Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 6 Entering the Palace for the First Time
March 28th is the day Wanxian enters the palace.

At a quarter of the hour, Wan Xian, wearing her usual auspicious clothes, got on the carriage sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Also on the carriage were the palace's nurturing aunt and Aunt Lian.

The carriage swayed toward the Forbidden City.Wanxian's hand unconsciously touched her waist, where all her wealth was.

There are 120 taels saved by myself and my wet nurse, 500 taels given by my cousin from her husband's family, and 500 taels in silver notes given by my stepmother.

When the stepmother gave it to her, she also said that the family was in a difficult situation, and the 500 taels were money that the stepmother had diverted from her own dowry.

In fact, Wanxian knew that it was a father-in-law's affair, and her stepmother only did it to make it sound better.

Because Wanxian and the nanny had calculated how much dowry she would get if she was accused of getting married.

There are a total of 120 and 1000 taels here, and the wet nurse sewed 100 taels of silver notes on the small clothes around her waist overnight.I made a few more purses and put more than [-] taels of silver in them, saying that I would give them to the eunuchs and maids who led the way when they entered the palace.

After these few days of study, Wanxian understood that in Chang Zai's position, there were 50 taels in the year, three palace maids and two young eunuchs.There are portions of pork and vegetables every day, as well as portions of candles, etc.

Wanxian was very satisfied. It was good to eat meat every three or four days at home. Her stepmother always said that the family's income was not rich and she had to live frugally. In fact, Wanxian knew that she just didn't want to give it to her.

The nanny told her not to take care of her and just live her own life well.

If there is good fortune, there will be a time to meet.If there is no luck, the 1000 taels of silver is a life-saving thing, so you must keep it well.

However, there are many cases where Wanxian calculates 50 taels a year like this. I heard that there will be rewards and other gifts during the New Year, so she should be able to live well if she saves some money.

"Young Master Chang Zai is afraid. You don't have to. The palace is a very good place. Otherwise, how could there be so many beautiful ladies risking their lives to enter the palace. They are all trying to make a career in the palace. Yi Nu just sees that, little master The Lord's blessing lies behind." Aunt Lian saw that Wanxian was a little nervous and comforted her.

Lian Ru said this and thought this at this moment.She really felt that this Gualja's everlasting blessing lay behind.

Except for the ladies who have been waiting for Long live the Lord since he was young, whoever is first appointed is always there.Besides, there are still many concubines who gave birth to the emperor's heirs. For example, Wan Liuha, the concubine, gave birth to the twelfth prince for many years, and she was still a concubine.

There is also the royal nobleman, who gave birth to three elder brothers for Long Live Lord, but he still became a nobleman.

There are also many concubines who have been with Long Live Master for more than [-] years, but they still have no official status.

"It's still early now. I've been studying etiquette these days. Why don't I let my servant tell Chang Zai about the empress in the palace." Even the aunt wanted to do a good job for Wanxian, so she took the initiative.

"Please ask my aunt for advice." Wanxian said seriously.

"The person in charge of the harem now is Concubine Tong Jia. The concubine is the sister of Empress Xiaoyi and the cousin of Lord Long Live.

The following are the four concubines Hui, Yi, De and Rong. These four empresses have been with me since I was young. They have both face and heirs.

The one below is Liang Fei, the biological mother of the eighth prince.There are also Cheng concubine, Duan concubine, An concubine, Jing concubine and He concubine.

In addition to being favored by the concubines, the other concubines all have children or have been with Wan Sui for a long time. Among them, Duan Concubine was the first to serve Wan Sui.

Speaking of which, the concubine and the concubine have the same surname as Chang Zai.However, the concubine and the concubine are from a background with a yellow flag, and Chang Zai is from a true yellow flag.

Then came Bu Guiren, Xing Guiren, Guo Luoluo Guiren, Wang Guiren, Nala Guiren, and Yuan Guiren. Of these, Wang Guiren gave birth to three elder brothers for Long Live, and the emperor sometimes summoned them.

Guo Luoluo is the sister of Lord Yi and the biological mother of Princess Kejing.

Bu Guiren, Nala Guiren, Zhaojia Guiren and Yuan Guiren also gave birth to imperial heirs for Long Live.

The following are the concubines who have no status. Among them, the concubine of the Wanliuha family gave birth to the twelfth brother. The young master should be more polite when meeting him.

There are also some concubines who are young and somewhat favored.There are also some concubines who are just waiting to die.

What the young master should also pay attention to is the two concubines of the Han Army Banner who entered the palace with the young master this time. I heard that both of them have the surname Chen. "Even the aunt's words have revealed the current harem structure.

It's just that the favored ones are all young and beautiful.As for high-ranking concubines who have children and have status, they don't care who Long Live favors or not.

When Wanxian heard this, her heart thumped and she felt a little frustrated.

She knew that her qualifications were not as good as others. When she stayed in the palace, Wanxian saw the beautiful women of the Han army, all of whom looked like gods.

Thinking of this, Wanxian thought that she might as well stay in the palace and retire peacefully.

Suddenly he remembered Nian Shuangyun, who had the most outstanding appearance at that time, and asked about Aunt Lian.

"My dear Master Nian, my long-lived master has now been given the blessings of the fourth elder brother and the fourth beile. The fourth beile is such a blessing. She is truly a peerless beauty." Aunt Lian said with emotion.

At that time, Zi Fujin was a beauty that even women would be happy to see.

"My little master, I'm entering Di'anmen."said the little eunuch who followed the carriage into the palace outside.

As the carriage entered the Shenwu Gate again, Wanxian got off the carriage and got into the two-person sedan.

The sedan jolted slightly as it entered Shunzhen Gate.

After entering Shunzhen Gate, the sedan chair bumped.I don’t know how long it took, but when I got off the sedan, I saw the words Changchun Gate.
