Is this the deep palace?
Before arriving, Liang Qiuyu was full of confidence, but just now, after seeing His Majesty's beautiful concubines, who were picked from thousands of miles away, she suddenly felt uneasy. Fortunately, Xiaolian was always by her side.
Xiaolian was even more nervous than she was. "Your Majesty, everyone seems so polite and courteous. But Xiaolian always feels that this place is even more terrifying than Wuya Peak. Also, the palace is not only magnificent, but also so huge. Just walking through the long corridors took a long time. Xiaolian's legs are almost broken..."
In fact, Xiaolian wanted to stay with Chao Man'er, Song Chi and Erhu the most. But she had to take care of the queen!
Miss Man'er, following her father, first settled in Prince An's mansion; after all, their Chao family's mansion in the capital had long since disappeared. Song Chi went to study medicine with Lu Yuyi, and Brother Erhu was in the barracks. In short, it was difficult for the four friends to get together.
Liang Qiuyu only said four words to Xiaolian: "Be careful with your words and actions."
At first, Baili Tang was excited and curious, but soon, his mood turned melancholy - this was definitely a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones!
It may be a hundred times more cruel than what is shown in TV dramas and movies!
TV series and movies must always pass the review. If they are too exaggerated, they won’t even pass the review.
These people seemed respectful to him on the surface, but what were they really thinking? People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs!
Fortunately, Baili Tang was a man who could control his thoughts. He tried not to dwell on these unpleasant things. Just like in his previous life, after returning from a business trip, of course he would take a hot bath, eat something, and then immediately go to sleep. He would first recover his strength.
Liang Qiuyu had just returned to the palace and hadn't yet arranged a bedroom, so she naturally lived with Baili Tang in the Jingyang Palace. Unlike Baili Tang, she couldn't sleep as well, so she asked Eunuch Yang, "Eunuch Yang, could you bring me some books on agronomy?"
"Huh!" Eunuch Yang looked at it and was also very excited - our family finally returned to the palace alive!
On this side, Baili Tang was sleeping peacefully, but other places in the palace were in an uproar.
Their Majesty is back!
Rumor has it that when Baili Tang forced Liang Qiuyu to marry him, he had 104 concubines! In reality, there weren't that many. Otherwise, the royal expenses would be enormous.
The status of the concubines in the Jing Kingdom harem is as follows:
The Empress is of the highest rank; the Imperial Noble Consort is of the first rank; the Noble Consort is of the second rank; the Consort, the Virtuous Consort, the Shu Consort, etc. are of the second rank; the Zhaoyi, the Zhaorong, etc. are of the second rank; the Imperial Concubine is of the third rank; the Beauty is of the third rank; the Noble Lady is of the fourth rank; the Talented Lady is of the fourth rank...the Maid is of the ninth rank; the Maid is of the ninth rank.
The higher the status of the concubine, the better the palace she lives in, and naturally the more palace maids and eunuchs she has to serve her.
Strictly speaking, Liang Qiuyu had not yet been canonized, so she couldn't be considered a concubine...
Since the death of the previous queen, Baili Tang has not appointed a queen. Currently, there are two imperial concubines, four noble concubines, and various other concubines in the palace...
Let’s talk about Baili Tang’s children!
Four babies were miscarried in the womb due to various reasons; two died shortly after birth; and two died while being raised after birth.
Currently there are two princes and two princesses alive. Oh, there is another one in the cold palace, but we don’t know if it is Baili Tang’s child.
A few months ago, Baili Tang ordered Ah Da to return to the palace... During the months Baili Tang was away from the palace, nine concubines had already suffered miscarriages, and four were currently pregnant... Baili Tang hadn't had time to summon Ah Da...
Anyone who serves as an emperor like this will go crazy!
Why did they dare to do this? Because they never thought that Baili Tang could return to the palace alive!
They also knew that Baili Tang was no longer capable of that... They would either die of old age in the palace or enjoy life while they could.
Among the more than two hundred concubines, there are probably about thirty who can't stand the loneliness.
In the past few months, Ah Da, who had been hiding in the dark with a telescope and spying, felt sorry for His Majesty every day... At first, he didn't believe it.
Yongfu Palace was the bedroom of Consort Liang, one of the two great Imperial Noble Consorts. She was the second daughter of the then Grand Tutor Liang. In terms of status and position, only Consort Lin of Wanxi Palace could rival her.
At this moment, more than a dozen concubines of high status, dressed in gorgeous clothes, were gathered in Yongfu Palace, chattering loudly.
"I think Your Majesty looks a little different than before."
"I've lost a lot of weight and look much better."
"Is it true that His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically as the rumors say?"
"It is said that His Majesty favors that peasant girl..."
Concubine Liang coughed forcefully, "Your Majesty, do we think we can discuss him? Beware of the beatings!"
"Sister is right!"
"We all listen to my sister!"
"It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore, sisters!"
After the chattering group left, Concubine Liang's face shone coldly: "Mammy, do you think people's temperaments can really change?"
The old lady said softly, "It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature."
"Then I will act according to circumstances."
After a night's sleep, the next morning, the two imperial concubines, along with the main concubines in the harem, as well as Baili Tang's princes and princesses, went to pay their respects to Baili Tang.
On their way here, Ah Da was reporting to Baili Tang. In this huge palace, when everyone gathered, Ah Da's report was also finished.
The next scene - a large crying scene, can be imagined as a rural funeral, the scene is so tragic and desolate...
"Your Majesty, you have lost weight!"
"Your Majesty, you have suffered!"
"Your Majesty, what suffering have you endured? I feel so sorry for you..."
