Madame is as charming as a flower

Chapter 688 Ancestral etiquette.

The distinction between concubines and concubines in the palace has always been strict, each has its own system, the main room is the main room, no matter how favored a concubine is, she is just a concubine.

If you overstep, according to the family law of your ancestors, you must be punished severely.

Concubine Jingyi's face turned pale, and she twisted her handkerchief to explain: "Empress Xiaozheyi and Empress Dowager Longyu have passed away. The emperor is young, and the Ai family raised him. The kindness of raising him is as great as heaven. Why not call him a mother?" ?”

When the little emperor entered the palace, he adopted Tongzhi and Guangxu as sons, and the queens of the two former emperors became the little emperor's mother.

Logically speaking, this orthodoxy should be on Tongzhi's side, and the three widows of Tongzhi should be the little emperor's concubine.

But the queen of Guangxu didn't care about this.

The Empress Dowager Longyu used the authority of the Empress Dowager to suppress the three of them, and did not regard them as the mother of the little emperor at all, so even the Empress Dowager Duankang was not treated like a concubine.

In order to fight for orthodoxy, the proud and powerful Concubine Jingyi dragged the other two concubines into limbo by the Empress Dowager Longyu, and was not released until her death.

The three of them were able to unite to reason with the princes, and only then did they clarify the identity of the concubine, and give them the title and honorary title.

She is Empress Dowager Jingyi.

But after all, they are the adoptive mothers of the little emperor's seniority, and now the four concubines let the little emperor call them the empress mothers, don't they just want to tell the whole palace that they should be the empress dowagers!

Now it's Xunqing, it doesn't matter what the eunuchs and maids in the palace call her, but Fu Yuejun bumped into her today, and this Duan Concubine Kang gave them a big blow, of course Fu Yuejun couldn't back down.

"The only one who can make the emperor call the emperor's mother is the empress dowager, the aunt, and the only ones who can deserve to enjoy the imperial temple are the empress Xiaozheyi and the empress dowager Longyu."

Fu Yuejun cast a sideways glance at the four concubines, and his tone was soft, but it was full of shocking force: "Even if the fourth concubine became a royal concubine, he was still just a concubine, you are overstepping!"

Only the descendants can enter the Taimiao, be listed in the family tree, enjoy the incense sacrifices of the descendants, and be buried with the late emperor. No matter how favored the concubines are, they cannot violate the ancestral etiquette.

Moreover, according to the ancestral etiquette, the relationship between wives and concubines is actually a master-servant relationship. Concubines must respect the queen and must not overstep, and greet each other every morning and evening.

If he can sit on an equal footing with the empress, he will be drowned by the spittle of those civil servants.

Therefore, according to the royal family law, even if the fourth concubine becomes a concubine, she is only a concubine. According to the other regulations of the harem, the concubine is not qualified to discipline the emperor.

Not to mention that the emperor is not qualified to call them the empress mothers.

Hearing this, Concubine Duankang's well-maintained beauty skin couldn't hold back any longer, and her face was extremely ugly: "Unexpectedly, Princess Chaohua has always been stubborn, but she knows the etiquette of the ancestors very well!"

"The rules and regulations of my imperial family in the Qing Dynasty, this princess has memorized them all by heart."

Fu Yuejun bent his lips, with a flirtatious smile on his lips: "My mother passed away many years ago, and my grandma is inevitably unable to manage the huge backyard of my Fucha house, so I can only rely on this princess to take care of it."

Although she was naughty when she was young, she was the kind with a photographic memory. She read those family laws and court etiquette and remembered them all.

Concubine Kang wanted to punish her from the very beginning, how could she not fight back?

"who are you?"

The little emperor raised his face and looked at Fu Yuejun carefully. This woman is really pretty, with such a gentle smile, she is more beautiful than all the women he has ever seen.
