The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 674: East Palace

Views:

But now, being watched by Brother Ninth all day long, he still wants to go to the fiefdom.

So, the miserable tenth prince had no choice but to hug his thigh. The prince didn't dare to hug him, so he hugged the eighth prince.

As for the eighth prince, he welcomes you to play with him anyway as long as you don't bully him.

Although Qi Yan is very busy now, since Lao Ba basically grew up with him, he will pay some attention to him.

So, when Yuluo reported that the tenth prince was following the eighth prince these days, he naturally wanted to ask: "Why?"

"This slave is looking for protection. His Highness Eighth is different now. His Highness Tenth always avoids His Highness Ninth." Yu Luo said.

Qi Yan sneered: "You're worthless, fine, as long as you don't have any bad intentions."

Qi Yanke still vaguely remembered Qian's initial bluster, but it was no longer enough after being punished a few times.

She can't do it, and neither can her son.

The tenth prince and the eighth prince followed closely, thinking in their hearts that if the prince was unwilling, he would think of another way.

Since the prince didn't say anything, he took it as acquiescence, so he cautiously played with the eighth prince all day long.

It's not that the Eighth Prince doesn't study, it's just that his reaction time is slow and he can't keep up with the progress of his brothers. However, he also shoulders the responsibility of teaching him as his reading companion.

So the eighth prince is still a little scholar.

Now that the tenth prince also taught him, he was even happier.

Qi Yan wanted to visit the East Palace, so he took his two younger brothers with him.

Although the East Palace is inside the palace, it is open to the public.

There is one south gate and one east gate.

The east gate is where the main entrance of the East Palace is located.

Needless to say, there are naturally carved beams and painted buildings here.

Because the Imperial Palace of the Dayi Dynasty covers a very large area, the entire Imperial Garden is located behind Luming Lake and in the complex of buildings. To the west is the Beigong Garden, where people who fell out of favor lived and had children with the late emperor at that time. Or people who have special wishes and do not need to go to Cheng'an Temple.

Also, in the past, the palace maids of the Great Yi Dynasty were not allowed to leave the palace at all, and they would have to endure it until they died.

At this point, I have to say that Shen Chuliu set a precedent.

Although there are no written rules in the palace, the maids in front of the masters still have the opportunity to go out when they are in their twenties.

For example, the maids in front of the An family cried and complained that their master didn't think about them. Although this was an excuse, people always have to compare.

Those who serve others are old enough to go out and get married, so why can’t they serve you

Now, more people will naturally go out.

Moreover, the Queen once directly took the initiative and ordered hundreds of people to be released.

Directly to the north are some functional palaces, such as the theater building.

The Chongzi Palace where Shen Chuliu lived for a few days is also here.

The large area to the east is the entire East Palace.

The area of the East Palace is about as big as eight Yufu Palaces.

It is also divided into front and back. The front is the residence of His Royal Highness, as well as the bedroom and study room. There are also office spaces that can accommodate at least a few hundred people in the future.

After all, the prince's team already includes civil and military officials, bodyguards and so on.

In the backyard, the main hall naturally belongs to the Crown Princess.

Also, according to the configuration, the two Liangdi palaces cannot live in the main hall further down.

But those who still have to live in the palace are six good ladies, ten Chenghui, sixteen Zhaoxun, and twenty Fengyi.

Let’s not mention whether there will be so many people. You can’t have so many people and not be able to accommodate them, right

Therefore, the harem of the East Palace is also very large.

Qi Yixiu had never lived here. He was canonized as prince after leaving the palace. At that time, the old emperor died soon.

I haven't moved in at all, so this place has been empty for decades, and a lot of money was spent on repairs.

Many places were even demolished and rebuilt.

Qi Yan looked at it before and after, and was satisfied.

"Sixth brother, you won't live in Ruiqing Palace anymore?" the eighth prince realized.

"We will have to move when we get married next year." Qi Yan was a little unhappy about this. What's the point of living in the East Palace by yourself

"Ah?" The Eighth Prince became depressed: "Then what should I do?"

Although he reacted slowly, he also knew that this was the East Palace, where the prince lived.

The prince is the one who will be the emperor in the future.

Naturally, I can’t follow.

"You can move in with me and move out after your wedding." Qi Yan didn't care.

My father must have no objection either.

"Is that okay?" The eighth prince instantly became happy.

"Okay, but it's far away from here. Oh no, if I move here, my teacher will come over to give me lessons? You can just study along." Qi Yan reacted.

Today's tutors still have to teach the princes, but when the prince moves, he will have his own teacher.

You can also read along with me.

The Eighth Prince nodded confusedly: "Okay."

The tenth prince sighed, why didn't he know how to follow his sixth brother properly when he was a child

As for Bage, if he has a little problem, he can live with him in the East Palace, and he doesn’t have to worry about it himself.

It’s not a question of whether it’s good or bad. This is unreasonable and impossible.

Of course, Qi Yan didn't mention this.

The East Palace is now understaffed.

Not to mention Dong Palace, in fact, the people around Qi Yan have never been perfect.

As a rule, princes have four wet nurses. Of course, whether or not to keep a wet nurse is entirely up to one's own free will.

Generally speaking, princes would keep two. Qi Yan also kept two.

Then there are sixteen palace ladies, divided into four first-class palace ladies, four second-class palace ladies, and eight third-class palace ladies.

What is done is based on level.

So far, Qi Yan has four great maids around him, none of whom are second-rate, and four who are third-rate.

There should be sixteen eunuchs, but now there are only four.

So that in itself is not enough.

But according to the prince's specifications, not to mention the guards, etc., the prince can directly have his own bodyguard team.

Just talking about the palace maids and eunuchs, there are clearly one hundred and twenty people in a certain number of miles.

However, now even the emperor Qi Yixiu is not satisfied with the number of people in front of him, so it is not good for the prince to have so many people.

But at least double it. Thirty-two maids and thirty-two eunuchs are needed.

Therefore, there are still very few people today.

Before, Shen Chuliu directly pushed Yuanxiao to him to choose someone for him.

As for the jade leak, Qi Yan was really used to it, and even if he promised to return it, he would not return it.

Shen Chuliu didn't bother to ask for it anymore. The eunuch was so useful that both his mother and wife paid him.

However, when he seriously followed the prince, Shen Chuliu wouldn't let him go.

After all, as a prince and a former eunuch, his salary would have gone up.

It hasn't been completely renovated here yet, at least it doesn't have all the necessary decorations and furniture inside.

When the prince came to see it, everyone working here was also frightened.

I am afraid that His Highness will not be satisfied with anything.

Qi Yan asked Yu Luo to find a manager, and simply said: "The Eighth Prince will live here for a few years. You guys can find a place for him."

It's not possible to live in the back, but there are many accommodations in the front, which is easy to say, just separated by a corridor or something.
