    Hongwu's second year

    January

    According to the rules of the Dacheng Harem, at seven o'clock in the morning every day, the concubines of the palaces pay their respects to the Queen.  []

    She was pregnant, and because her behavior remained unchanged, she was exempted from the greeting ceremony, or she violated the dragon's face or broke the palace rules, and was grounded or relegated to the cold palace without the qualifications to see the emperor.

    Most of the time, if there is no accident, the concubines have to go to the queen regularly every day to pay their respects, even the four principal concubines are no exception.

    ¡°Mother, it¡¯s still dark, do you want to have breakfast first?¡± Although it¡¯s spring, it¡¯s only January, and the sky is getting dark a little late. It¡¯s more than half an hour before the time to say hello, and it¡¯s still a little dark outside.

    In Concubine Jin¡¯s palace, glazed lanterns were lit, which was very bright. Concubine Jin had already stood up, and the maids were serving her to dress, cleanse, and wash herself.

    Concubine Jin estimated the time, knowing that it was still too early to go, so she said, "It's okay, there is still time left and right, let's have someone prepare breakfast."

    During the preparation period, Taozhu and two palace servants took out Concubine Jin¡¯s headdress, outer clothes, and rouge.

    The glazed lamp is on in the room. The decoration here is not very gorgeous, but it still has an air of nobility.  Because Concubine Jin has an indifferent temperament, although she is constantly favored, few concubines come here, and there are not many people in the palace. The whole palace has a somewhat cold atmosphere.

    "Your Majesty, you look really beautiful with this hairpin. I tell you, your appearance is rare." Taozhu put a silver butterfly hairpin on Concubine Jin's head.  , praising in his mouth.

    Wang Hongyi¡¯s palace system had both eunuchs and female officials as checks and balances. The highest rank was the fifth rank. He also built a new internal history academy, but some female officials who were both talented and learned but who were not or unwilling to get married entered the palace.

    After Wang Hongyi returned to the palace, he felt that he was called the emperor too much outside, so he "ordered: The people in the inner palace call me the official family, and the servants and female officials who have the official rank all call themselves ministers. It is not allowed to insult the official by calling me a slave. I admire this."  "

    It means that no one with official rank can be called a slave. This will humiliate the official body. Taozhu is a seventh-rank female official, so she must call herself a minister.

    This hairpin is indeed carved realistically. The butterfly is trembling slightly on the hairpin, and it is slightly agitated when it moves. Every detail is extremely exquisite.

    Concubine Jin actually liked silver jewelry. She took a picture in front of the bronze mirror and smiled softly and said: "Don't comfort me like this. Not to mention that the world is so big, there are no women with any appearance? Even in this harem, every year  Newcomers are more delicate than flowers.

    She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and didn't care: "Even the women who entered the palace last year are all beautiful. It's not like you haven't seen them before."

    Having said this, Concubine Jin picked up the rouge and smacked it on her lips.

    Although her appearance is beautiful and flawless, it can be said that she is naturally beautiful, but when she goes to greet her, a light makeup is necessary. This is the most basic etiquette.

    "My Majesty, although they are good-looking, they don't have holy relatives. How long can they last? My Majesty, it would be better if you could give birth to a prince early." At this time, everyone else retreated, and only Taozhu was standing beside Jin Fei.  Next to her, the man who had been following Concubine Jin for some years couldn't help but talk.

    "This matter does not depend on people but on God. It is useless for you to think about it." Concubine Jin said.

    Seeing this, Taozhu had no choice but to keep silent.

    Concubine Jin was well dressed at this time. Breakfast was delivered to her. She passed her hand to the palace maid aside. Concubine Jin stood up. Tao Zhu carefully supported Concubine Jin to eat.

    Concubine Jin is wearing a snow skirt today. When she goes out, she will be very warm if she puts a cloak on it.

    The clothes worn by the palace people are much different from those worn by the people, and the clothes worn by the concubines are even more exquisite.  The only drawback is the inconvenience of movement, but it is indeed very beautiful to wear, and the concubines do not have to work themselves. They love such beautiful clothes very much.

    Taozhu and Concubine Jin had a hasty breakfast. It was getting a little brighter outside, and it was almost time.

    "Let them prepare the chariot and go to pay your respects to the Queen." Concubine Jin ordered.

    Unlike other concubines, Concubine Jin has no heirs 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 indispensable thing is beauty, especially in the new system. Every year, there will be some with good family background, talents, and good looks.  When the girl entered the palace, Concubine Jin was lost in the crowd.

    ¡° Moreover, she has an indifferent temperament and is not considerate, yet she has always been favored by the emperor, which puzzles many people.

    To say that she was favored, she had never had any children, and she was not promoted to one of the four concubines. To say that she was not favored, the emperor stayed with her for two or three days every month and never changed.  .

    Only Concubine Jin knows that, without a miracle,Life, I will never have any heirs in this life.

    Not to mention that she came here through the resurrection of a corpse, she already had some physical problems that were different from ordinary women.

    And precisely because she is the reincarnation of the Dragon God, she has a great influence on the fate of mortals.

    With the situation of Emperor Dacheng, she would not be allowed to have children.

    What she wants is just to settle down in this life and gain a spiritual future. She is not very looking forward to having children in this world, but now she is very satisfied.

    When it was dawn, she got on the chariot and walked towards the palace where the queen was.  Kunyuan Palace, where the Queen lives, has been heavily renovated. It is the most extensive and gorgeous palace in the entire palace.

    The empress and Emperor Dacheng were a couple in need, and they were also the original spouses. They had a deep relationship, and the emperor respected the empress very much. They also had a legitimate son, and the empress' position in the harem was very stable.

    Whenever the concubines in the palace greet the queen, they feel a little uncomfortable. She is obviously a dignified and beautiful woman, much older than them, but she has such good luck that she chose the emperor in the first place.

    Now, not only do they have a legitimate son, but their descendants are highly favored by the emperor, and they are also very liked and respected by the emperor. With such a queen sitting in charge, it is difficult for them to do anything even after entering the palace.

    And when Concubine Jin, a childless person with no family support, showed up, it made all the concubines who arrived secretly jealous.

    "I pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen be safe." Concubine Jin arrived neither too early nor too late. Although some concubines arrived in front of her, not many arrived.

    After the ceremony, the female officials around the queen went up to help her up. Concubine Jin was of high rank and had the favor of the emperor, so she could not be neglected at will.

    "Just now, I was still thinking about whether I would exempt you from greeting you today because you have just recovered from illness. I didn't expect you to come early. Please sit down quickly." Song Xinyou said with a smile, but this attitude was different.

    The queen's dignity and beauty are enough to show the majesty of the emperor. Su'er saw the purple phoenix hovering at a glance, as if to make her sing, and she smiled in her heart.

    Since the return of Qinchuan and Liangzhou, Dacheng's luck has solidified by several percent. Officials, concubines, and even the queen have benefited a lot. Ordinary people don't know it, but she knows it.

    "I am lucky to see the Queen's consideration. It's just that I have been recovering for a few days and my body is fine. I couldn't pay my respects to the Queen some time ago. I feel guilty. Today I'm here to bother you again. Please don't dislike me."  ." Concubine Jin said with a smile before sitting down.

    Regarding the fact that she was in seclusion and even banned from traveling due to "illness", the queen knew about it, and the two of them said this in front of everyone, just to maintain decorum.

    This harem is not just filled with old people, there are also many new concubines, some of whom are of high rank because they have given birth to heirs. To be able to come here to pay their respects to the queen, they are all talented or above.

    Even so, there are still dozens of people here to pay their respects. If the entire harem is not managed with some care, it will easily cause trouble. Concubine Jin is also happy to accompany the queen in this scene.

    "You can do this. I am very considerate. A few days ago, envoys from the Western Qin (West) came and paid tribute to some gold watches. The emperor has seen them and said that they can be rewarded. He also sent them to the Shaofu to imitate them. You also have one.  " After saying that, the queen sent someone to take it out.

    When everyone looked at it, they saw ten gold-case pocket watches placed on it. Everyone knew that except for the cabinet prime minister, only the queen mother, empress, and noble concubines had this thing. Even if there were any other heirs, they would not have any, but now they were awarded to Concubine Jin.  , which could not help but arouse the envy and jealousy of some low-ranking concubines who were new to the palace.

    But regardless of seniority, imperial favor, or rank, the three people in front of them were incomparable to them. They could only think secretly that after the women in the room talked for a while, they heard the eunuch announcing that several more concubines had arrived.  .

    The few people who came in were all newcomers to the palace, with beautiful faces and the support of their clansmen. They were very proud of themselves and were not as respectful as some of the old people who came before. However, they did not dare to miss the time, so they almost rushed forward when the time was approaching.  Come.

    As soon as a few people came in, the eyes in the room were cast towards them.

    It has to be said that most of these girls who have just entered the palace last month and have been favored are fifteen or sixteen years old. They have bright eyes and white teeth, and their innocent and noble appearance is really attractive.

    But who in the harem doesn¡¯t know your Majesty¡¯s character? Even if you are really beautiful, you just need to sleep with him a few more times in the beginning. If you can be respectful and sensible, and have status, the emperor can still take care of you. If you don¡¯t know the rules and use tricks secretly,  It won't be long before the harem will be flooded with new concubines, so everyone just glanced at her and then looked back.

    Su'er even glanced at it and then took it back. These girls have some merit and are among the people.You may feel at ease, but in the imperial palace, this little bit of destiny is far from enough. If you are not cautious and smart, you will soon become ordinary.

    These new nobles and talented people did not know what everyone was thinking. They bowed down in front of the queen and paid her a respectful greeting.

    The Queen was calm and composed, and after saying a word or two to them one by one, she asked them to get up. As usual, after a while, the Queen planned to let them leave.

    "I feel relieved that you are so harmonious. It's still early, so I'm afraid some of you may have rushed here without even having breakfast. It's also cold. If nothing happens, sisters, please go back."

    Since the Queen said this, the concubines naturally would not stay. They agreed and left the palace one after another.

    Concubine Jin was also about to go out. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the queen's female officer. She bowed slightly and said: "Concubine Jin, the queen, please stay." (To be continued)
