Chapter 297: Guo Luoluo Minghui is startling every step of the way (36)
"Then who is the direct Fujin and who is the side Fujin?" Minghui asked.
When Yinsu saw the family backgrounds of the two people, he made a decision in his heart: "Then choose the Hesheli family as the direct descendant of Fujin. Zhenghuang Banner, the Hesheli family is also a rich family, so the engagement will be set in one year, and the side Fujin family will be chosen." His direct descendant Fujin entered the palace one month later."
"Yes, I understand." Minghui agreed, and Hong Xi quickly stood up to thank him. One year was enough time for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make arrangements. After all, the prince was marrying Fujin.
Afterwards, Hongxi returned to the Fifth Qianxi Palace, and Yinhu stayed in Kunning Palace. However, they did not have any sex tonight. They slept in the same clothes, each with his own thoughts.
next month
The newlyweds entered the palace one after another, and were led by the eunuchs ordered by Minghui to go to their respective palaces and settle down. Minghui was very kind and allowed a few people to settle in first, and then paid their respects three days later.
"Du Juan, ask people to give gifts to these newlyweds, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select servants for each palace empress to choose." Minghui has done her duty as a queen, and hopes that these newbies will be more honest. If you dare to slap yourself in the face, don't blame yourself for being cruel.
Dujuan on the side nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Mother, do you want..."
Everything was said without saying anything. The two had been master and servant for so many years. How could Minghui not know what Du Juan meant.
"No need, in this harem, without us, other people will take care of things. You and I, you and I, should be good empresses in the palace and don't disturb the love between our emperor and other empresses, but... these people If the newcomers dare to reach out to me, there will naturally be other ways to teach them a lesson." Minghui is not afraid of the scheming methods of such women. She has already placed monitoring cockroaches throughout the harem, and in the past three years, she has cultivated them herself There are also many people in the harem. The people in the harem are all under his control. Why do he have to do such a thankless thing as arranging people?
Du Juan said he understood and immediately ordered people to make arrangements.
On the second day after the concubines settled down in the palace, Luo Wen returned to the Forbidden City, bringing with him maps recorded from his travels and objects from the West. The progress of the West gave Yinhu a sense of crisis.
So Yinhu brought a large number of objects that Luo Wen brought back, and after collecting the rewards, he took Luo Wen and his confidants to discuss reforms.
It is precisely because Yinsu is busy with state affairs and has no time to take care of these new concubines. In addition, he has not yet paid greetings to the queen and is not allowed to sleep with her. These new concubines are quite peaceful and mostly stay in their own palaces. I didn't run around everywhere. I only went to the Imperial Garden for a walk to see if I could meet the emperor in advance.
Three days after all the concubines entered the palace, Fang went to Kunning Palace to greet the queen. The new concubines were all the kind of people who had high spirits and wanted to make a name for themselves in the harem. After all, with their background, the queen was not incapable of it, as long as Just pull that one off.
"I send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity." The concubines performed the standard etiquette, but they were all taught very well by their nanny. There was no one like Xia Dongchun.
"Sisters, without any courtesy, I will give you a seat and serve you tea." Minghui sat on the main seat, and every move she made reflected the queen's noble temperament.
After the concubines sat down, they met the Queen for the first time. They didn't know the Queen's nature. Even though the Queen had been well-attended during the days when she entered the palace and didn't cause many people to suffer, they still didn't dare to treat the Queen as someone they could have a heart-to-heart with. It's just a matter of face-saving.
"Everything is well with me, my concubine. Thank you, the Queen, for taking care of me. I feel at ease as if I were back home when I came to this palace." Several people said in unison, and they were right. Minghui had made arrangements properly, and even The places where they live follow the custom of several people at home. As for why they know, it is naturally what the teacher said.
Minghui nodded with satisfaction and ordered Du Juan to ask someone to present the gifts that he had prepared for several people: "These are the fresh things Mr. Luo brought back from the ocean a few days ago. I don't know what the sisters like. , I chose them based on the temperaments of the sisters, let’s take a look and see if they suit your liking?”
What was given to the Concubine Xian was an agate object, which was exquisite yet connotative.
What was given to Concubine Ning was Western embroidery. Although it was not as meaningful as the ones from her own country, it was still suitable for Concubine Ning to study.
The rouge and gouache given to Jingbin was different from the usual rouge and gouache. This Western one was more exquisite, but on the surface, most of them were chemical products.
The one given to Shun Bin was a Western painting. For Shun, a quiet person who likes to paint, this can be regarded as a favorite object.
Li Bin was given a few music scores, which made her very happy. She immediately felt that the Queen was a very good person.
"Concubine, thank you, the Queen." Several people had different moods. Some felt that the Queen was a kind and good person, such as Li Bin, while others felt that the Queen was just a superficial pretense, such as the virtuous concubine Ning Fei, etc. Liu, because he came here for the queen, he was naturally very dissatisfied with the person occupying the seat.
As for Concubine Jing and Concubine Shun, they were just watching from the other side, only seeking to be favored, have children, and have a high position. As for the position of queen, considering the relationship between the queen and the emperor, they just shook their heads and did not insist on it, but if there was a chance, they would fight for it.
"Sisters, drink tea. This is the best Xueding green tea, and it is also of excellent quality." Minghui said and drank it in front of several people.
The queen said it, and even drank it, and the concubines did not dare to disobey.
Concubine Xian took a sip, Concubine Ning took a sip, and Concubine Jing and Concubine Shun took a sip without any worries. After all, they didn't think the queen dared to harm them, even though the queen was also the daughter of a rich family and the crown prince's daughter. Mother, but I don’t think she has the guts. As for Li Bin, she has long thought that the Queen is a good person, and she drank the tea carelessly without any pressure.
"This tea is sweet in the mouth, very good!" Concubine Xian gave this comment, while Concubine Ning, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shun concurred smartly.
Li Concubine had her own idea: "I also think this tea is very sweet and delicious. Will I have the opportunity to come to the Queen's place to drink tea in the future?"
Hearing this, Minghui said with a smile: "If you sisters like it, I will ask someone to give you some later."
"Thank you, Queen!" Several people responded.
"Well, now that you have just entered the palace, if you are not used to it, you should tell me that the emperor has fewer heirs. Your sisters are young and beautiful, and they will definitely be able to produce heirs for the emperor. Whoever gives birth to the emperor will ascend the throne. My first brother, I think the emperor will also reward you with great rewards." Minghui smiled, but she said the words of a Buddhist and a snake, giving these people a target to fight for.
No, Concubine Ning's eyes lit up when she looked at the virtuous concubine. She must have been looking forward to the noble son becoming the concubine.
Jing Bin lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Concubine Shun smiled and said nothing, as if the noble son was nothing to her.
Li Bin was a little dumbfounded.
After saying good-bye, Minghui said a few words and then left the group. When leaving, he did not forget to arrange for the tea that had been promised to them.
