Chapter 121 Newcomer Enters the Palace
No one expected that there would be so many new people entering the palace this time. From the emperor's previous intention, he only wanted to pick one or two, but this time he picked six people.
The person with the highest rank was Guaerjia Wenyuan, the daughter of Guaerjia Emin, who was a hero in overthrowing Nian Gengyao. She was not only given the rank of a noble lady, but also the title of Qi.
The second was the daughter of Ulanara. Although her father was only a fourth-rank official, she was from a noble family after all. Her two elder sisters were queens, and she was looked after by the empress dowager. She was also given the status of a noble and the title of Jin.
Huimin guessed that the emperor had a traumatic experience with Ulanara and was reminding Ulanara, who had just entered the palace, to be careful with her words and actions.
The rest were a few maids who had agreed to the appointment, and they were not very noticeable.
It seems that the Queen Mother was irritated by the Emperor's accusation that she condoned the Queen's harming of the royal heirs, so she picked out several healthy ones and waited for them to give birth to children for the Emperor.
Huimin now has the authority to assist in managing the six palaces, so naturally she has the right to see the list of new people who are about to enter the palace.
After looking at the list, Huimin of course first paid attention to the two people with the highest positions.
Huimin only took a quick look at the remaining people, such as Sun Da Ying and Zhang Changzai, but when she saw one person, she became interested.
Liu Jia?
This Liu Jia family was originally from the Han army flag, and later on was promoted to the Manchu army flag, but was only of the lower five flags. Her father's official position was not high, being a fifth-rank, sixth-department official. However, although this censor had a low rank, his role was not small.
Huimin wants to pave the way for her son, but the ruler is young and the country is in doubt, so there will surely be many censors who oppose it, so Huimin needs to make plans early.
She was a maid. Huimin hesitated for a moment, wondering where to place her.
The side halls on both sides of his Chuxiu Palace were all occupied, and the remaining rooms were not very good.
Huimin hesitated for a while, but decided to arrange Liu Jia to the Chuxiu Palace. When Xia Dongchun was promoted, a side palace would be vacated.
Huimin took a look at the arrangement of the palace and found that Ulanara was actually living in Yonghe Palace. You should know that this was the residence of the Empress Dowager when she was Defei.
It seems that the Queen Mother has high expectations of her.
But Huimin did not move the remaining people.
Just follow Concubine Jing’s arrangements.
With so many people coming in at once, the queens of each palace would have to send someone to help consolidate their favor, especially those who already had princes.
I guess people will also enter the Qixiang Palace and the Yanxi Palace.
In addition to these newcomers, Huimin also kept her eyes on the Third Prince.
The girl Yining, whom I had arranged for myself through my parents' home, had a teacher teach her to read and write, and also had someone teach her to play the piano. The girl studied very hard and cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.
Seeing that she was doing well in her studies, just after her sixteenth birthday, Ortai asked someone to send her to the palace.
After entering the palace, she served in Changchun Palace for more than half a year. This girl was observant of people's expressions, eloquent, and good at making people happy. Because of these, she was very much liked by Concubine Qi.
It just so happened that the Queen fell from power, so she was able to personally educate the Third Prince. The Third Prince was of age, and Concubine Qi was afraid that women outside would seduce the Third Prince, so she thought of picking someone who knew her well to be a palace maid for the Third Prince who was knowledgeable about human affairs.
So he gave the girl Yining to the third prince.
The Third Prince was very excited for a while about having such a beautiful and intelligent woman. Later, he gave her the status of a concubine and still dotes on her to some extent.
The third prince is now young and has few people in his backyard. He has not married a wife, nor does he have a concubine. The emperor just assigned a princess to him, who is the highest-ranking person in his backyard.
This princess was of ordinary origin and plain appearance.
The emperor originally wanted to avoid picking one who was too beautiful, in order to prevent the third prince from falling headfirst into the land of beauty.
But the Third Prince was like his father, he also looked at appearance, and he was at the age when he was just beginning to fall in love, so he had a neutral feeling towards this princess.
At this time, Concubine Qi sent him a palace maid. Yining was beautiful, well-educated, and knew some poetry and books. She was just what the Third Prince wanted.
Yining sent a message to Huimin, asking her for the next instructions. Huimin only said that they should seize the opportunity while there were few people in the backyard, and it would be best if they could give birth to a prince or a princess so that they could get the status of a princess first.
When she is needed, she will still be there.
The period before the new bride entered the palace was relatively calm and peaceful, and the palace was rarely harmonious.
Since the emperor visited Xia Dongchun that day, he set foot in the harem again.
This time he looked through the names of all the concubines. Although Xia Dongchun was suddenly favored by the emperor and gained more favor, the other concubines also got a share of the spoils and had few complaints.
The concubines are relatively satisfied with the status quo. There is no huge pressure on their heads. The two powerful concubines, Jingfei and Xianfei, are not the kind of people who want to make trouble for others.
Everyone could take turns sleeping with him, no one deducted the monthly allowance, and life was pretty good.
But the good days did not last long, as the entry of new people into the palace completely disrupted the current situation.
The six newcomers were dispersed to the six palaces in the east and west: Liu Jiashi went to Chuxiu Palace, Sun Yingying went to Qixiang Palace, Zhang Changzai went to Xianfu Palace, Jin Guiren went to Yonghe Palace, and Meng Changzai went to Changchun Palace.
The highly anticipated Concubine Qi went to the Yanx Palace.
This was Lanpin's initiative.
The four people who assisted in managing the six palaces, Concubine Jing, Concubine Lan, Concubine Hui, and Huimin, all put a lot of thought into preparing for the new people to enter the palace this time.
Everyone asked for someone to go.
Huimin also understood what Fu Cha Peiyun meant.
Fu Cha Peiyun was thinking that the emperor did not favor her much, Hongqing's mistake at the first birthday banquet made the emperor unhappy, and she had little relationship with Concubine An in the Yanx Palace.
The arrival of a beautiful newcomer can also make the emperor think more about the Yanx Palace. Concubine Lan has a son, and Concubine Qi is favored. The two of them joining forces is a good choice.
But Fu Cha Peiyun's wishful thinking was wrong. Just as she expected, among the newcomers, the emperor first turned over Concubine Qi's name, and even Concubine Jin could not overshadow her.
The fact that Concubine Qi is favored by the Emperor is what Fucha Peiyun wants, but she is not the type to be willing to be inferior to others. Now she is respectful to Fucha Peiyun, but no one knows when this poisonous snake will bite back.
It is foolish to let a wolf into the house. It is better to find one that is easy to control.
Huimin also started making preparations before the new people entered the palace.
Since Huimin was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces, everything she did became much easier.
Huimin placed spies around these newcomers, regardless of their status or family background. She never looked down on anyone.
Even Sun Da Ying, who has the lowest family background, should not be underestimated. After all, her predecessor An Lingrong is the best example.
Moreover, except for Concubine Qi, all the other newcomers are the products of the butterfly effect. Huimin did not get to know them in advance through the drama and did not know their background.
But if we talk about the one who is most wary, Huimin pays special attention to this person of the Ulanara clan. She comes from a wealthy family and is definitely not a simple person.
