The second year of Hongwu

January

According to the rules of Dacheng's harem, the concubines of each palace pay their respects to the queen at 7 o'clock every morning.[]

Pregnant, but because of his unchanging actions, he was exempted from a gift, or had violated Longyan, broken the palace rules, was confined or was sent to the cold palace and was not qualified to pay homage.

Most of the time, no accidents are found, and the concubines have to pay their respects to the queen regularly every day, even the Fourth Princess is no exception.

"Empress, before dawn, have you eaten breakfast first?" Although spring is just January, it is a little late. At this time, it is half an hour before we pay our respects, and the sky is still a little dark outside.

A glass lamp was lit in Concubine Jin's palace, which was very bright. Concubine Jin had already gotten up, and the palace maids served her to dress, clean her face, and wash her.

Concubine Jin estimated the time and knew it was too early to go there. She said, "It's good, there is still time left to the left, so please prepare breakfast."

During the preparation period, Taozhu and two palace ladies gave Concubine Jin a headdress, external clothes and rouge.

The glass lamp was lit in the room. The layout here was not very gorgeous, but it was also noble. Because of Concubine Jin's indifferent temperament, although she was always honored and favored, few concubines came here. There were not many palace people in the palace. The entire palace had a cool atmosphere.

"Empress, you are so beautiful with this hairpin. I'm sure you have such a rare appearance." Taozhu then put a silver butterfly hairpin on Concubine Jin's head and exclaimed.

In the palace system of Wang Hongyi, eunuchs and female officials competed for checks and balances. The highest was the fifth rank, and a new Inner History Academy was established, but some female officials who were both talented and had no or were unwilling to get married entered.

After Wang Hongyi returned to the palace, he felt that he had been called the emperor outside, so he "recommendation: The inner palace people call me the official family, and there are official eunuchs and female officials, and they all call themselves ministers, and they should not be called slaves and humiliate the officials. I respect this."

It means that those with official rank must not be called slaves, which will humiliate the official body. Taozhu is a seventh-rank female official, so she must call herself a minister.

This hairpin is indeed carved in reality. The butterfly trembles slightly on the hairpin. Just as it moves, it slightly incites, and every detail is extremely exquisite.

Concubine Jin loved silver jewelry a little, so she took a look in front of the bronze mirror, and chuckled and said, "Don't comfort me like this, let alone the world is so big, there are no women with any appearance? Even this harem is a newcomer every year, and people are more beautiful than flowers.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and didn't care: "Even the women who entered the palace last year were all beautiful and charming, and you haven't seen it."

Speaking of this, Concubine Jin picked up the rouge and pursed it on her lips.

Although she has beautiful appearance and is flawless, she is born with beauty, but when she goes to pay tribute, she has a light makeup, which is the most basic etiquette.

"Empress, although they have good looks, they have no holy relatives. How many days can they last? Empress, it would be better if you could have a prince sooner." At this time, everyone retreated, and Tao Zhu was the only one next to Concubine Jin. The man who had been with Concubine Jin for some years couldn't help but say.

"This matter is in heaven or not in man, it is useless to think too much." Concubine Jin said.

Seeing this, Taozhu had to keep silent.

Concubine Jin was dressed up properly at this time, and she brought her breakfast to the palace maid beside her. Concubine Jin stood up, and Taozhu carefully helped Concubine Jin to have a meal.

Concubine Jin wore a snow skirt today. When she went out, she would be very warm with a cloak on her outside.

The clothes worn by the palace ladies are very different from those among the people, and the clothes of concubines are even more exquisite. The only disadvantage is that they are inconvenient to mobility, but they are indeed very beautiful when worn, and the palace ladies do not have to work on their own. They love such beautiful clothes very much.

Taozhu accompanied Jinfei Caocao to have breakfast. It was a little dawn outside, so it was almost time.

"Let them prepare the chariot, and now I will pay my respects to the Queen." Concubine Jin said instructed.

It is a bit different from other concubines. Concubine Jin has no children and no family support, which is very special.

She is dignified and beautiful, but she is not particularly beautiful, and she does not have an advantage in age. Moreover, in this harem, the most deficient thing is beauties, especially the new system. Every year, a girl with family background, talented and talented and handsome appearance will enter the palace, and Concubine Jin will be lost to everyone.

Moreover, she is indifferent and not understanding, but has been favored by the emperor, which makes many people puzzled.

If she is favored, she has never had a son and has not been promoted to one of the four concubines. If she is not favored, there are two or three days every month, and the emperor stays with her and has never changed.

Only Concubine Jin himself knew that if no miracle happened, she would never have any descendants in this life.

Not to mention that she was resurrected by the corpse, she had some physical problems, which was different from ordinary women.

And because she is the dragon god, she has many influences on mortals in her destiny.

With the situation of Emperor Dacheng, she would not give birth to children.

What she wanted was to settle down in this life to gain a future for cultivation. She was not very expecting her descendants in the world, and now she was very satisfied.

When it was dawn, she took a chariot and walked towards the palace where the queen was. The Kunyuan Palace where the queen lived was rebuilt, and it was considered a palace that covers a very wide and gorgeous area in the entire palace.

The Empress and Emperor Dacheng are husband and wife in distress, and they are the original wife. They have deep feelings. Moreover, the Emperor respects the Empress very much. The two also have legitimate sons, and the Empress has a very stable position in the harem.

Whenever the concubines in the palace pay their respects to the queen, they feel a little uncomfortable. They are obviously just a dignified and beautiful woman, much older than them, but they have this good luck and chose the emperor at the beginning.

Now not only have legitimate sons, but the descendants are also highly loved and respected by the emperor. With such a queen in charge, they are difficult to do even if they enter the palace.

When Concubine Jin, a sonless person who had no family support, appeared, it made the concubines who arrived secretly jealous.

"I am paying homage to the Queen, I will be at peace." Concubine Jin came not early or late. Although some concubines arrived ahead, not many people arrived.

After giving the grand ceremony, the female officials from the Queen went up to help her up. Concubine Jin was of great rank and had the emperor's favor, so she could not be neglected at will.

"I was thinking just now that you have recovered from illness. Will you avoid your kindness today? I don't expect you to come early, so sit down quickly." Song Xinyou said, smiling, his attitude was different.

The queen's dignity and beauty are enough to show the majesty of the emperor and empress. Su'er looked at her and saw the purple phoenix circling, as if she was about to attract Qingge, and she smiled in her heart.

Since Qinchuan and Liangzhou surrendered, Dacheng's fortune has been greatly improved. Whether it is officials, concubines, or even the queen, they have benefited a lot. This ordinary person doesn't know, but she knows it.

"The queen's compassion is my blessing. But I have been well-behaved for a few days. I was unable to pay my respects to the queen some time ago. I felt guilty. Today I am here to disturb you again. I would like to ask the queen not to dislike her." Concubine Jin smiled and then sat down.

The queen was informed about her retreat or even going to the palace for bans while she was "ill". The two of them said this in front of everyone, just to maintain the integrity.

This harem is not just the old man before, there are many new concubines, some of whom have a child and are of a low grade because they have children. They can come here to pay their respects to the queen, and their grades are all above talent.

Even so, dozens of people are here to pay their respects. If the entire harem is not concerned about management, it is easy to get into trouble. Concubine Jin is willing to accompany the queen to do this scene.

"You can do this, my palace is very comfortable. A few days ago, an envoy from the Western Qin (Western) came over and paid some gold watches. The emperor had already read it and said he could give it a reward. He sent him to the Shaofu to imitate it. You also have one..." As he said that, the queen sent someone to take it out.

When everyone looked at it, they saw ten gold-shelled pocket watches placed on it. Everyone knew that except for the prime minister of the cabinet, there were only the empress dowager, queen, and imperial concubine. Even if there were children, there were no other things. Now they were rewarded to Concubine Jin, which made some concubines who were low in position and newly entered the palace very envious.

But regardless of qualifications, emperor favors, or grades, the three people in front of them were incomparable to them. They could only think secretly that the woman in the room talked for a while and heard the eunuch's voice, and several more concubines arrived.

The few people who came in were newly entered the palace, with beautiful faces and support from tribe members. They were self-reliant and were not as obedient as some of the old people before, but they did not dare to miss the time, so they arrived almost when the time was about to come.

As soon as the few people came in, their eyes in the room were faintly cast.

I have to say that most of these girls who just entered the palace last month and were favored by them are fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, innocent and noble appearance, which is really attractive.

But no one in the harem knew that His Majesty's personality was really beautiful, and he was just a few more times at the beginning. He had to be respectful, sensible, had a position, and the emperor could take care of him. If he didn't know the truth and secretly used methods, it would not take long to be overwhelmed by new concubines in the harem. Therefore, everyone just glanced at him and then took his eyes back.

Su'er even glanced at it and took it back. These girls had some blessings, which may be at ease among the people, but in the imperial palace, this fate is far from enough. If you are not cautious and smart, you will soon be eliminated from normalcy.

These new nobles and talents did not know the thoughts of everyone. They bowed in front of the queen and respectfully greeted the queen.

The queen calmly said a few words to them one by one, and then got them up. As usual, after a while, the queen planned to let them leave.

"I will feel relieved when you are so harmonious. It's still early, and I'm afraid some of you have arrived without breakfast. It's colder. If nothing happens, all the sisters will come back."

Since the queen said this, the concubines naturally would not stay. They responded and left the hall one after another.
