On the day when Zhuang Wanqing was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Zhuang Luoyan stood on the moon Pavilion in the palace and watched the funeral procession leave. The morning wind in spring made her heart cool, which made her heart cool.
"Mother, it's time to go back." After hearing that Zhu added a cloak to Zhuang Luoyan, he looked at the funeral procession that could hardly see the shadow. "That's what happens in the harem. If you are in favor, you can be in the limelight. If you are out of favor, you can be bullied. Today, if you don't count on others, they won't let you go. "
Zhuang Luoyan turned around and was about to go downstairs. Suddenly he saw a lot of carriages coming through the east gate. He asked, "what are those carriages for?"
"Madam, I forget that today is the day for new people to enter the palace. In the carriage are the daughters of officials from all over the world. If the emperor values them, they will stay." Listen to bamboo and watch the carriage enter the palace gate. Behind the carriage is a rising sun.
Even with the rising sun, this scene is not half full of vitality.
Zhuang Luoyan looks at this scene in silence. She is a group of women who have lost their freedom. She will live in a fight all her life.
"Niang Niang doesn't have to worry. Even if there are new people in the palace, your status in the emperor's heart will not change." hearing that Zhuang Luoyan was silent, she thought she was worried about the new people's affairs after entering the palace. She couldn't help comforting, "Lady Shu of Anqing palace has always been favored by the emperor. In recent years, she has entered many new people, and the emperor has never been indifferent to her."
Zhuang Luoyan laughed, "where do you think of? I'm just feeling."
What do you feel? I don't understand.
As he turned and walked down, he heard his master say a word.
"It's a pity that the beautiful flowers will wither when spring is over."
In Luan he hall, there were twenty or thirty women in Royal dress. They were all good-looking, and looked at each other with hostility. But no one dared to be presumptuous on this occasion. They bowed their heads and waited for other ladies to come.
On this occasion, the concubines in the second class are supposed to be present. Although these women are young and vigorous, they also know that these high ranking empresses can't be offended.
"Here comes Xu Zhaorong."
All the women saluted one after another. They carefully looked at Xu Zhaorong and Liu Fufeng. They could not express their elegance and elegance.
Xu Zhaorong looked at the women standing, and there was a trace of arrogance in her weak face.
"Here comes lady Shu."
The women all know that lady Shu is a very favored concubine. When they see the person clearly, they can't help feeling ashamed. This lady is not very luxurious, but she is so gorgeous that people can't help avoiding her sharp edge.
"Zhaoxian, let's go!"
After hearing this news, all the women gathered their spirits again carefully. Although she was not as good as the lady Shu, she was promoted to the position of virtuous tolerance after only one year in the palace. She was also greatly favored by the emperor. Before entering the palace, her family had already reminded them that this master could not be offended easily.
When Zhao Xianrong came in, women felt that although Zhao Xianrong was not as beautiful as Shu, she had her own characteristics, especially her eyes and gentle air.
"Ladies, don't be polite," Zhao Xianrong said. As soon as she opened her mouth, she let people hear her fresh voice. Although it's not a rare voice, it can make the listener feel comfortable. It can be seen that this Zhao Xian Rong has his own characteristics.
Zhuang Luoyan allowed the women below to look at herself carefully. After seeing each other, she chose a suitable place to sit down. She saw Xu Zhaorong, a weak Liu Fufeng, sitting opposite her. Slowly, slowly, she moved her eyes away.
After a while, the other concubines arrived, and the empress arrived with the help of the maids. The next step was to wait for the public goods of the concubines. As for the empress dowager, who was the emperor's mother, she said that she would sincerely worship the Buddha and that she had no intention to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
The emperor with a group of big and small wives to choose the little wife, the scene is not too harmonious. Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the dozens of beautiful women standing below, and did not know which ones would be thrown into the battlefield of the harem.
She is sorry for these beauties, but each of them has his own ambition. She really answers the saying, "how can a fish be happy without a fish?".
"Just now my palace saw that there were a lot of flowers in the royal garden. They were really gorgeous," said the queen. "It seems that it's a good day to enjoy the flowers these days."
"The empress is a flower sparer, so naturally she can't appreciate it," she said with a smile. She didn't look at the women standing below. "I'm a solid eye, and I like only one or two kinds of flowers. No matter how beautiful the other flowers are, they are not beautiful for me."
"It's good for lady Shu to be so fond of her," the queen said with a smile. "Tomorrow our palace will set up a flower feast in the imperial garden. You can enjoy the flowers you like."
Zhuang Luoyan hung his head and didn't want to listen to the conversation between the queen and Lady Shu. Occasionally, he looked at all kinds of beauties below, waiting for the emperor to pick someone to pack and take away.
"Here comes the emperor!"
When the master finally arrived, Zhuang Luoyan and the others got up to salute. He saw the emperor pass through a group of beauties and sit down on the top golden nanmu dragon chair."It's all free," Feng Jin casually looked at the women in the field, then turned his eyes to the concubines sitting there. "The queen has a suitable one to look at."
"I think all these women are good. I'd better ask the emperor for your help." The Queen's answer was accurate.
Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the emperor with the pattern of scum on his body and asked his wife to choose the second wife for his husband. This kind of thing should not be too cruel. It's not easy to work as a queen.
Through the ages, I don't know how many queens have been lost in the hands of the slag emperor. I don't know how many women who share weal and woe with the founding emperor have finally become the queens who are lonely and lonely without the emperor's favor, and who have to fight with young concubines.
Of course, Zhuang Luoyan felt that he was also a member of the opposition to the Queen's profession. This kind of opposition made people helpless, but in any case, the emperor was definitely the maker of the tragedy of the harem.
For women, such monsters as the emperor are mostly scum. They are hard to conquer because of their thick blood.
Just when Zhuang Luoyan was muttering in his heart, the emperor had already begun to choose beauties. For each woman, the eunuch read out her age, name and family background, and then the emperor decided whether to stay or not.
"Hua Hongxiu, 17 years old, is the daughter of the Minister of rites."
"Chen Nu Hua Hongxiu meets the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the queen. The queen is a thousand years old. I've met you ladies."
When Zhuang Luoyan heard the name, he couldn't help looking down. Who's the bad father and mother who gave his daughter such a name that looks elegant but is frivolous?
The woman kneeling below is wearing a peach colored Luo skirt and a simple hanging bun. The green silk hanging from her ears sets off her skin so that it can be broken. Although a small face is not beautiful, it is very pure and sweet.
"Your name is Hong Xiu?" Feng Jin looked at the girl below, "but the red sleeve with fragrance?"
"Back to the emperor, the courtesan really have the sleeves." The girl raised her head and gave the emperor a smile with a pure face.
Reading forbidden books on a snowy night Zhuang Luoyan looked at the girl with a kind and innocent smile. Does she really know or pretend to be naive?
Feng Jin nodded, light mouth, "stay."
The eunuch who served next to him immediately wrote down the name of Hua Hongxiu and began to call the next one.
But he called many women all the time, but he didn't see the emperor nodding. At this moment, the only ones left were Hua Hongxiu, the daughter of the Minister of rites, and Yan Yuchan, the daughter of Guozijian.
As fewer and fewer women retired, only two of them were left. All the concubines in this room looked pretty good until the last woman appeared.
"Ning Shengyu, 18, daughter of Shaoqing in Dali temple."
If Zhuang Luoyan wants to use any language to describe this Ningsheng song, he can only use a peerless beauty to describe it. This Ningsheng song not only makes the country and the city beautiful, but also brings some dust and desolation flavor. No one here can match her brilliance.
Not to mention the other concubines, even lady Shu's face darkened. This kind of beauty entered the harem, for fear that all the people in the harem would be compared.
Feng Jin stares at the woman who is called Ning Sheng Yu for a long time, then slowly says, "stay."
Zhuang Luoyan found that although the emperor looked at Ningsheng taro for a while, his eyes were astonishing, but there was no sense of astonishment, which was enough to see that the emperor was doomed not to be the emperor who lost his country because of his beauty.
The empress looked at Shu's concubine and said with appreciation, "this pretty girl is outstanding."
"It's just like that," Feng Jin lightly waved his hand, "just three people. My harem is also very full. There's no need to leave too many people."
"I know that the emperor is concerned about Court Affairs, but I should also pay attention to my body." Said the queen.
"I know that the queen doesn't have to worry about me," the emperor said, looking at the people still standing under him. "Let's go. It's time for me to deal with government affairs."
"To the emperor." The empress and the concubines got up to salute and watched the emperor leave.
Out of Luanhe hall, Zhuang Luoyan looked up at the clear sky, turned to the bamboo behind him and said, "it's just fine today. It's better to put some paper kites in the open space behind our palace."
Listen to bamboo and cloud Xi followed to look at the sky, cloud Xi said: "it's really a good day to put paper kite."
Feng Jin finished handling the urgent fold in his hand and went out of the hall of diligent administration. When he looked up, he saw the Colorful Peacock and paper kite flying in the air. He squinted for a while and said, "where did this come from?"
"Return to emperor, depend on slave to see, this should be in Xi He palace." Gao Dezhong looked up and then said, "today's climate is pleasant. No wonder zhaoxianrong wants to play with Zhiyuan."
"In that case, I'll go and have a look." Feng Jin had two points of interest. After a few steps, he saw the empress and the eunuch come meandering. He had to stop and wait for the empress to come.
"I have seen the emperor," said the queen.
"The queen has something to see me?" Feng Jin took a look at the queen, then looked up at the flying paper kite in the sky."Back to the emperor, I want to ask the three newlyweds who have just entered the palace what the emperor is going to give them?" The queen followed the emperor's eyes and saw the beautiful peacock and paper kite.
"What can I ask? Just after entering the palace, Yan Yuchan and Hua Hongxiu are both gifted people. If Ning Shengyu looks good, he should be a noble person." Feng Jin took back his sight, "if the queen has nothing else to do, she will step down."
The smile on the Queen's face was a little stiff. After giving a salute to the emperor, she silently stepped down. When she reached the place that the emperor could not see, she looked up at the paper kite in the sky again and said, "which palace is that?"
"Niang Niang, maidservant, it's Xihe palace," he Yu said sarcastically. "Zhao Xianrong is really in a good mood." I don't know if I'm really happy to put any paper kites on at the moment, but I'm still pretending.
The queen looked at the peacock swaying in the air. Her eyes were a little complicated. "Who can be uninterested in this harem?"
Feng Jin came to Xihe palace, just close to the backyard, he heard Zhuang Luoyan's laughter, pure joy and relaxation.
"Niang Niang, you relax the thread a little. Now it's windy. Be careful to break the thread."
"Don't worry, I know how to put it. Oh, listen to the bamboo. Your swallow hasn't been put up yet. "
Listening to this conversation, Feng Jin suddenly remembered that her zhaoxianrong was only 18 years old.
When she stepped into the backyard, she saw that her hair was a little scattered, and Zhuang Luoyan, with a ruddy face, squatted on the grass without any image. The sun was shining on her face.
