The princes, on the other hand, were more restrictive because they were afraid of learning bad things.
There are still no restrictions on one prince's concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and concubines. But there won’t be too many basic princes.
I really like to talk about it.
So the two girls the queen mentioned were the ones who came into the palace to serve as concubines for the second prince.
Naturally, his family status is not too high, and he has some background.
Most of them are concubines from big families or daughters from small official families.
After Concubine Qianshu left, Emei smiled and said, "Concubine Qianshu, are you looking forward to promoting your concubine?"
"Of course she thinks a lot." The queen smiled nonchalantly.
On that day, I asked the Ministry of Rites to set a date, and I came to Ruiqing Palace first.
Wait until the prince goes out and then follow him out.
Shen Chuliu also quickly learned about these things and followed the trend and sent some congratulatory gifts.
That night, the emperor came again.
Shen Chuliu played chess with the emperor in mind, and this time the emperor was fooled.
A big battle ensued.
Lying on the couch dripping with sweat, the emperor laughed: "If you want to be bad, you will be just like your son."
"Ah? Isn't he the same as me?" Shen Chuliu was short-circuited and said after a while: "Why am I broken?"
Qi Yixiu didn't explain, just touched her shoulder gently: "You're not bad, you're just bad."
Shen Chuliu snorted, "If it's not good, you still come, you still come."
Before February 2, the two concubines entered Ruiqing Palace.
These two concubines were both women from official families in the imperial city.
One is a concubine and the other is a direct descendant. The official position in the family is not high.
However, both girls were good-looking. The emperor was concerned about Li's disfigurement, so he naturally chose the right color for his concubine.
Naturally, the emperor has never seen it, but only gave instructions to the queen. When the queen asks people to inquire again, she will add this item.
These two girls, one named Chen and the other named Zhu, are both fifteen years old.
When he entered the Ruiqing Palace, he was of high status, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs also arranged a banquet.
The second prince invited his brothers and sisters to have a meal, and setting up a few tables was considered a clear sign.
The sixth prince also went to drink the wedding wine and congratulated him with a smile like the other princes.
The second prince was very dissatisfied with the background of the two concubines, but he was still satisfied with their appearance.
I can only accept it.
That night, Mr. Zhu was asked to go to bed first without mentioning it.
Probably because of the commotion about the Queen before, everyone was a little scared, and for a while, everyone became quiet.
This quietness actually lasted two years smoothly.
It’s early spring again, and the New Year has just ended.
This year the Sixth Prince is twelve years old. Although his birthday is nearly a year away, Shen Chuliu has asked someone to put a collar on him since the first day.
It was she who put some golden peanuts every year from the year after she gave birth to the child in order to accumulate blessings for him.
In the past, the princes of the Great Yi Dynasty began to wear collars from birth, but many boys didn't like them.
I changed it to wearing it for a whole year when I was twelve years old, and then I just took it off and saved it.
I made it last year and put it on this year.
Of course, the fourth and fifth princes have been wearing them for a long time.
The 12-year-old Sixth Prince has grown much taller, and his voice is about to change when he speaks.
The older he gets, the more he looks like an emperor, and his temperament and temperament become more and more like his mother.
The prince is almost worried. You'd better not offend him anyway. He has ten thousand reasons waiting for you.
It's quite reasonable and well-founded, and my father can't say anything wrong.
The main reason is that his father still loves him and he will coax him.
The brothers are all smiling on their faces but gritting their teeth behind their backs. The year after the second prince's wedding, his concubine gave birth to his eldest son.
The concubine Li was also tolerant, knowing that her appearance was ruined, she even took the initiative to accept several maids and concubines for the second prince.
The second prince doesn't know if he really respects her or what, but he treats his concubine well.
This year is the wedding of the third prince.
The one chosen was Liu, the eldest daughter of the governor of Ningzhou. The two concubines are also from small families, one is the Sun family and the other is the Wang family.
The third prince has left the palace, and his wedding will be next month.
Ruiqing Palace is somewhat empty now, and there is still a year until the Eleventh Prince moves in.
In the harem, five concubines came in last year.
The two royal ladies are Mei Royal Lady and He Royal Lady. The two Baolins are Zhang Baolin and Mei Baolin. Yes, there are two Mei clans entering the palace, but they are from different states and counties, so the two people have nothing to do with each other.
There is also another Li Xiaoyi. It has nothing to do with the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Jinchang.
However, in the past two years, no children were born in the harem, and no one was pregnant.
The emperor was busy, and after all, he was no longer in his twenties. The concubines he loved were either infertile or would not have children, so naturally there was a lot less right and wrong.
Among the five newly promoted people, no one was particularly favored, it was just Mabel Lin who called the emperor a few times.
Now that the prince is older, the call for the establishment of a prince has become louder.
From the second prince to the ninth prince, they are all old enough to be crown princes.
The emperor also seriously began to pay attention to this matter.
He had already cultivated several young princes intentionally or unintentionally. For example, the Sixth Prince, they have access to many affairs in the court.
This point is much more grand today than it was before the late emperor.
Although several princes are not yet allowed to enter the court, they also know what is happening in this country from other people's stories.
Perhaps we can also see some clues from the way my father handled government affairs.
From time to time, the emperor would ask them to write something. He never pointed out what was right or wrong, but only asked them to understand it themselves.
Starting from this year, cabinet academicians Pei Jiancheng and Yu Chengzhang also officially taught knowledge to the princes.
Moreover, the emperor has already issued an oral decree that after the crown prince is established in the future, these two veterans will be the prince's teachers.
So now he has been granted the title of Crown Prince and Tutor.
These two have obviously achieved the ultimate in civil service.
Being able to join the cabinet means being able to teach the prince and the future prince. Being able to teach the prince means that he will be the emperor's teacher in the future.
What other official position can be more powerful than this
Perhaps she was tired during the New Year, and the queen fell ill since she was fifteen.
And the disease is severe.
Over the years, the queen rarely got sick, usually minor illnesses, but this time she looked very dangerous.
The emperor ordered the Imperial Medical Office to accompany him and serve him without any delay.
The Imperial Physician Ling and others cannot be negligent.
If the queen needs any medicinal materials, if they are not available in the palace, she will quickly go to various places to buy them.
It's time for the second princess to make a brief selection of her consort this year, so she doesn't have to think about it right now. He only focused on looking at his mother.
Too worried.
The queen is seriously ill, so there is no need to go to pay her respects, but it stands to reason that she should attend to her illness.
The queen did not allow anyone to attend to the illness.
Naturally, some people are eager to serve, which is a great achievement.
But the queen doesn't need anyone to show her true feelings.
Therefore, all matters related to the management of palace affairs were directly handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
She didn't bother to give it to the concubines at all.
Anyway, it saves trouble to take care of internal affairs. Concubine Qian Shu looked helplessly and was very angry, but unfortunately she had no choice.
The Queen also knew that she was indeed seriously ill, but she was still far from death.
Queen: I won’t rush into the street.
