Love, what a terrible thing.
After the emperor left, Hua Chun sat down to study the structure of the harem. Although she had seen some concubines before, but when she went to Huiming Hall yesterday, she realized that the harem was far more complicated than she had imagined. I always thought that "three thousand in the harem" was just an exaggerated empty word, but judging from the room I saw yesterday, it really wasn't that bad.
"Qing Ling." She asked: "Can we find the roster of this harem?"
Qing Niao nodded: "The roster is with Eunuch Qin, please wait a moment, master."
"Okay." Hua Chun sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and waited.
As a result, half an hour later, Qing Niao brought in two eunuchs with three stacks of books, more than the piles of books that hadn't been changed in the emperor's study for a few days!
With a dry laugh, she asked, "What is this?"
Qing Ling blinked: "The roster of concubines in the harem you want."
"Roster." Hua Chun stretched out his hand and gestured: "Shouldn't it be a booklet like a book?"
Qing Ling shook her head: "Eunuch Qin said that there are a lot of people in the harem, so in order to facilitate the master's understanding, he sent all the rosters of concubines with status."
Is this Nima just a person with status? Aren't there still a lot of people who don't have names or points? Hua Chun's face turned blue, he stared at the pile of things, gritted his teeth and said, "Is he a stallion?"
Startled, Qing Ling hurriedly jumped to her side and covered her mouth: "Master, trouble comes from your mouth."
Wherever it comes from! How happy she was just now, how angry she is now. How many women can accept their own men? There are thousands of women? Fortunately, she once thought that the emperor was a sullen and innocent person, but in the end, only one word was included in these four characters - Sao.
He casually flipped open the stack of books on top, what Zhaoyi, noble concubines, and concubines were full of names. To say there are 3,000 people here is an understatement. If any man in the world can't marry a wife, he can come to the emperor to settle accounts. Damn, he has collected all the beauties in the country!
Closing the booklet, she took a deep breath. Sure enough, life cannot be perfect. If God gives you a bright red apple without any worm eyes, you will definitely take a bite first. It is impossible to do everything according to her wish, so she has to be calm.
"Empress." A little palace maid came in outside, and said respectfully: "Empress Hui is coming this way."
Concubine Hui? Hua Chun frowned, there is no queen now, Yu Wenjie put all the power to manage the harem in the hands of Concubine Hui, and now that he came here, it was probably a routine training for her.
So she nodded: "Go to the door and meet him."
When she entered the country, she had to do as the Romans did. In the imperial court, she had to fight a group of old and cunning people. In the harem, she could only hold her throat and play with these empresses.
"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Hui."
Concubine Hui's face was full of smiles, followed by several court ladies, all holding trays in their hands.
"Finally I was able to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see you. I thought that you had just entered the palace, and many things were not complete. I just happened to be free today, so I brought them to you."
"Thank you, Ma'am." Hua Chun raised his head, and saw two palace maids lifted the red brocade on the tray, and there were two sets of heads on top, the ones with gold inlaid with jade and the ones wrapped with white jade wrapped with silver, both looked precious. There are also strips of red seals next to it. You don't need to think about it, it's either a gold bar or a silver bar.
Concubine Hui also knew how to be a human being, so she took these as additions to her, but in fact, it was almost a gift set, and she couldn't refuse it.
"Get up quickly." Concubine Hui took her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "We have been worrying about the emperor's bad mood recently. With you by my side, everyone can rest assured. This is just a little bit of love from the sisters." , don't be disgusted either."
"I don't dislike it." Hua Chun smiled: "The concubine is new here, and there are still many places that I need to mention."
Concubine Hui shook her head: "I don't dare to mention something, but I think it's better to tell you about some things first."
Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, and looked at Concubine Hui with a silly big sister's smile.
Looking around, Concubine Hui waved her accompanying maids out, but did not let Qing Niao move, as if she really regarded her as one of her own, she approached her intimately and said: "My younger sister's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Prime Minister Hua. , it will definitely annoy many people in the palace, so we still have to be careful, don't be too stupid."
Blinking innocently, Hua Chun asked, "Why is it annoying to look like Prime Minister Hua?"
"There are some things you don't know." Concubine Hui sighed and said, "Concubine Huo, who was very favored some time ago, had a lot of troubles with Prime Minister Hua, and she has gotten close to Concubine Shu recently. The concubine is Prime Minister Hua's younger sister, so she doesn't even want to see Prime Minister Hua."
Huo Xianrou? Huachun was a little dazed, she didn't do anything, right? Although Hua Jinghua often received hostility from her when she was still in her identity, she never figured out the reason.
"What's wrong with Empress Huo and Prime Minister Hua?" She asked, "One is the empress concubine, and the other is the former prime minister."
"You don't know something." Concubine Hui said, "In the past, when Concubine Huo entered the palace to seal Zhaoyi, she would not be treated by the queen mother. She spent a lot of effort in private, and finally made the queen mother change a little bit. As a result, Prime Minister Hua gave a purple jade pendant. Go to the Huiming Hall, and say it was given by Huo Zhaoyi. A national teacher told the queen mother's fortune, saying that the most taboo thing in the queen mother's life is purple jade, so the queen mother angered Huo Zhaoyi. Pressed down."
In this way, with Huo Xianrou's heart, how could it be possible not to hate Hua Jinghua
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Hua Chun laughed dryly twice.
It was an accident, right? At first, Huo Xianrou wanted to please her and let her speak well in front of the queen mother. But I didn't want to get involved in the harem battle at the time, so I gave the jade pendant to the queen mother in her name, trying to please her, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
"And for the first time ever, Concubine Huo won the favor to visit the Imperial Garden." Concubine Hui continued, "This is an honor that no concubine in the harem has had in half a year. In the end, the prime minister injured his hand while climbing a rockery, which caused her to lose all the favor. Soaked in soup."
The rockery thing... Hua Chun pursed her lips and subconsciously squeezed her healed arm.
She was pushed down at that time, and the murderer has not yet been found out. I thought it was a trivial matter at first, but after listening to Concubine Hui's words today, why does it seem like there is a hint of conspiracy
Who would have chosen to push her down at that point? What's the benefit
"Prince Huo has a good heart, but she's a bit narrow-minded." Sighing, Concubine Hui said, "Although Prime Minister Hua may not have any real relationship with you, just with this face, you should be careful. "
"Thank you for reminding me, ma'am." Hua Chun replied solemnly: "I understand."
It seemed that she had listened to everything, Concubine Hui was very satisfied with such a simple girl, she nodded and got up and said: "Then I will go to work first, if you need anything, just send someone to Qinghe Palace to let you know. "
