???? After thinking about it for several days, Mrs. Jinyanghou couldn't help but call an aunt named Bi Yuan of her son Ruan Siyi.

Bi Yuan couldn't think of why the lady would ask about the appearance of a maid so many years ago, but being called alone by the lady meant closeness, and she thought about it in her mind.

After thinking for a long time, I thought of this person.The reason why this person will leave an impression in her mind is that one is because the person is extremely protruding, and the other is because there was a lot of trouble at the time.

Although four or five years have passed, I can still recall it after serious thinking.

Bi Yuan slowly described the person in her mind, and as the memory door opened, her description became more and more specific.

After Madam Jinyanghou listened, Liu frowned.

"If you find an artist, can you describe her in detail?"

Bi Yuan nodded hesitantly, and said, "It should be possible."

After hearing this, Tian sighed in relief and took Bi Yuan to the study without pretending to be someone else's hand.

Tian was known as a talented woman when she was young, and she was also quite brilliant in her first hand.

Bi Yuan dictated carefully, and Tian's paintings were made, and after countless revisions, it took an entire afternoon to draw an overall portrait of a woman.

The woman in the painting is extremely thin, with a thin body and a posture of half-dangling head and half-contracted eyelids. The whole face can only see the small face with delicate lines, but the eyebrows are not clear.

Tian's eyebrows frowned, but Bi Yuan said that she was alike, very alike.

Seeing that the lady seemed a little unhappy, Bi Yuan asked in a low voice: "What does the lady have..."

"How old is that person back then?"

Bi Yuan thought for a while and said: "I'm very young, thirteen or four years old. The young master assigned her to slaves, and the slaves wanted to find such a little girl somewhere."

"Well, you go down first, don't mention this to others."

"Yes." Bi Yuan bowed her knees and saluted, before leaving, said, "This person has been close to the wife of the small kitchen, and the slave and maid always love to go to the small kitchen."

Tian waved his hand and Bi Yuan went down.

Madam Jinyanghou was a little frustrated, and she described this person as nothing like that person.

The person in the painting is green and shriveled, with a good-looking face, but only half of his face.But that person is full of grace and nobleness that has been favored by thousands of spoils, and there is nothing in common except for the sharp and thin chin.

Thinking of Mrs. Wang, who Bi Yuan had said, Tian's thoughts were moved again, and he ordered people to find Mama Qu, the woman in charge of her, and after a few detailed instructions, Mama Qu went down to work.

...

A few years have passed, and Mrs. Wang is older than before. She still stays in the small kitchen in the courtyard of the Fairview Yard, without even moving the place she usually sits.

For a few days, people came to get close to themselves, and the old lady Wang was not blind, waiting for them to show the tail of the fox.

Finally, he was talking about the little girl from a few years ago.

That little girl, Mrs. Wang still remembers, so a little girl didn’t know where she was sold, thinking of Xiaohua, Mrs. Wang felt sad.

It is a kind of compassion for oneself, but also a kind of compassion for the same disease.

The old lady Wang opened her empty old eyes, and her shriveled old face was filled with confusion, "Who are you asking? Liu Erjia, the old lady is getting older, and her memory is not good in recent years..."

With that said, Mrs. Wang fumbled and smashed the stove with the fire stick, acting slowly and dying.

The Liuer family really felt embarrassed for this old woman. She was a lot older and her memory must be bad.Seeing that I couldn't tell why, I went to see Mama Qu to reply.

After seeing Liu Erjia's departure, Wang's wife sighed, and she didn't know why she suddenly asked that girl. She was sold for almost five years!

When Tian received the reply, he felt even more confused.

Just as she was about to dispel this idea, Bi Yuan suddenly came to see her again.

"Madam, the servant still remembered one thing, that little girl has very beautiful eyes."

An Ji Ling of Tian's family asked someone to get pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and drew a few strokes on rice paper.

"Is it this way?"

"Yes, yes, the shape is very similar. I haven't seen this kind of eye shape before my servant grows so big."

Tian took a deep breath, unfolded a piece of rice paper, and drew it in detail. After a while, a delicate beauty appeared on the rice paper.Finally, the finishing touch was put on the eyes, and Bi Yuan looked at it again.

"Is it this way?"

Bi Yuan nodded again and again, "The slave and maid had noticed her once. This little girl is very outgoing, but strangely unnoticeable."

"Well, you go down, remember, don't talk about this to anyone."

After Bi Yuan left, Tian's eyes kept changing.

The temperament will change, and the appearance will change with age, but this change is definitely not big.She glanced at the man painted again, with a meaningful smile on her face.

However, Tian has always done things steadily. After confirming in his heart, he asked about it from the outside.

Xiaohua's life experience is quite mysterious to many people, but it is not a secret to some.After Mrs. Jinyang Hou inquired, she compared the time, and then she was truly sure that the imperial concubine Yuan was the one who had been selling on the bed back then.

I wonder if this is a handle?

Concubine Yuan Gui, who favors the harem, is exciting to think about.

***

The queen was a little better, so she came to see the princess Xiao Huang, this was the first time she had seen the princess since she was sealed.

The imperial concubine lived in a partial hall of Ci'an Palace. Compared with the other concubines living in a partial hall, her treatment was excellent.

Adjacent to the concubines who lived with many emperors, no one dared to step on the dog.Even if the imperial concubine is not the queen mother now, even if she doesn't even have a son.

Her daily life is extremely leisurely, copying scriptures and burning incense to worship Buddha. It seems that after the first emperor went, she became obsessed with burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

When the queen saw her, she was copying a scripture, and instead of asking the queen to wait outside, she asked the queen to stand aside and watch.

It took almost two quarters of an hour before the imperial concubine put down the wolf pen in her hand.She let out a sigh of relief, and two palace people on the side offered a hot kerchief. She held it on her face, pressed it twice, wiped her hands, and then threw it into the tray held by the palace person nearby.

Go to the main hall and sit down, the emperor concubine sits on the upper head, the queen sits on the lower head, the emperor concubine lifts the tea cup, and starts drinking tea.

What the queen hates most is the imperial concubine, who always looks aloof.The queen didn't see her very often, so when she first married the fifth prince, every time she went to Fengqi Palace, this so-called aunt sat high above the phoenix seat, and she bowed down and bowed her head tremblingly.

But now that she is a queen, she has become an embarrassing existence, or it seems that she is inferior to her.

The queen suddenly had an impulse to throw away, but suppressed it again.For what, she knew in her heart.

"I heard you are not in good health?"

"Yes, aunt."

While speaking, the queen couldn't help coughing again.She seemed to be cured this time, but in fact it was only the face.

The imperial concubine glanced at her and said faintly: "Your body is your own capital. If others do not move, you yourself will be mad at first, so why bother to argue? It's better to stay honestly."

The queen's face flushed suddenly, and she turned into anger from being exposed for a short while.She was interrupted by the imperial concubine before she said anything.

"There are several scriptures here, you take them back, copy one book a day, and be quiet. White peony, send the queen out."

"Yes."

The queen left unwillingly, and the white peony returned to the empress dowager's side.

"Mother, is this okay? The servant girl looked at the queen with an angry look, I'm afraid there will be resistance in her heart."

"If this palace had long known that it would be today's situation, I would never point her to King Jing. Any daughter of the Xiao family can beat her. Her temperament still needs to be tempered." As the imperial concubine threw away the tea cup in her hand, she frowned and said, "This tea is getting worse..."

White Peony did not dare to speak.

When the imperial concubine was still a queen, all the good things in the palace were close to Fengqi Palace, including the finest tribute tea.Now that the queen has become the imperial concubine, the treatment is naturally not as good as before.Of course, it is not to say that Emperor Jing criticizes the concubines of the first emperor, but that the case of the concubines is the case. From frugality to extravagance, it is easier to change from extravagance to frugality.

"What happened to Bai Zhi?"

White Peony shook his head with a worried look, "Your Majesty didn't move her, but the Qi Shanggong's methods were quite good, and he was clearly his Majesty, so everyone gave in. From Chen Shanggong...the situation is not very good. ..."

The imperial concubine became angry and snorted, "Idiot! The dignified queen didn't want to hold the power of the harem in her hands. On the contrary, she cares about some trivial matters. It makes us difficult in the palace. She is still Not the daughter of the Xiao family!"

After a while, she said again: "Let Mother Zhao tap her."

"Yes."

Daxi has a system of female officials, and there are six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the palace to cooperate with the inmates to serve the entire palace.

The six bureaus are: Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangxing Bureau, and Shanggong Bureau. Each bureau has four divisions and manages the affairs of the palace.

Among them, the Shanggong Bureau set up two five-class Shanggong, and they guide the Queen of the Central Palace to manage all court affairs.

After the Queen was instructed by Mother Zhao, she summoned the two Shanggongs from Shanggong Bureau. When she saw the one named Qi Shanggong, her heart was cold.

No one knows the surname Qi's methods better than her, wrong, it should be Jingdi's method. When she was in King Jing's Mansion, she was just a little bit overhead. Now when she comes to the palace, it is impossible to repeat the old rut?

Sure enough, after the queen took charge of the affairs in the palace, she was frustrated everywhere. Whenever she encountered conflicts with the'rules', Qi Shang Palace would take out the palace books and inform her.

If she listens, it is good. If she doesn't listen, it doesn't really matter whether she listens or not. Others will only act according to the'rules'.

The six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the Daxi court were actually established by reference to the previous dynasty. This system limited the queen's rights to a certain extent.To put it bluntly, the queen is in charge of the entire harem, but it is six games to implement the instructions of the middle palace.

At the beginning, Emperor Jing was still the Xiao clan of King Jing. It was not that he was ingenious, but that he took the rules of the palace and put it in the Palace of King Jing.

Of course, everyone has their own means. When the queen was a queen before, she was in charge of the harem by replacing the Shang Palace Bureau with her own person.This person is the current Chen Shang Palace. There was also a person whose Shang Palace was Queen Xian Shun. After the death of Queen Xian Shun, he was replaced by Qi Shang Palace.

When the queen was angry, she once overwhelmed Qi Shang Palace with her own identity and clamored to replace her.

The Qishang Palace was calm and informed the queen that the replacement of the fifth-grade Shang Palace requires your majesty's consent.Qi Shanggong's attitude and tone are very submissive, but the meaning in the words is very obvious, you still don't make a joke, the servant is your majesty.

Reluctantly, the Queen could only suppress Qi Shang Palace through her own Chen Shang Palace.

It’s a pity that Aunt Qi started to act as early as when she was still in the East Palace. Fushun, the head of the eunuch who also had an in-house maid, gave her convenience. She was still leaning on the mountain behind Jingdi. There were few female officials in the 24th in the 6th Bureau. Blind, naturally know the stakes.

In fact, in this deep palace, the people below want to live comfortably, all depends on the direction of the wind.

This wind direction is the current emperor, wherever your majesty's wind blows, the people below follow wherever they lean.It's like when the first emperor was in love with the empress and the imperial concubine, and the people below were divided into two groups.

But now, your Majesty’s chariot is clearly towards the one in the Palace of Morning Light, naturally no one dares to find that one unhappy.It's like your Majesty obviously wants to raise the queen, naturally no one dares to stand in the way.

Including Princess Xiao Huang also felt this kind of invisible restraint, because many of the people she held in her hand were not useless now, or they were transferred from a key position.

This situation made Princess Xiao Huang very angry, and once again felt that Emperor Jing was very difficult.

Generally, men who can stand up for the first time as a big treasure are focused on government affairs, and they rarely pay attention to some small sections.

Including the former emperor, the affairs of the harem were given to her with full authority. Although a concubine Xu always confronted her afterwards, as the first emperor, he never interfered in the affairs of the harem.

Only this Jingdi is different from others, a man likes to take care of trivial matters.

The emperor concubine had cursed in her heart countless times that Emperor Jing was too petty and unrefined.But cursing goes to cursing, why King Jing is like this, she knows better than anyone.

The author has something to say: ps: There is a contradiction between Xiao Xiao and old Xiao, and even the wiser can't stand a pig teammate.
