Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 211: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 9

Winter passes and spring comes quietly.

During this period, Yinzhen would come to Jiayue two or three times a month. It seemed that he was favored, but not too much, and Jiayue had gotten used to his presence.

In March, the Forbidden City begins to become lively.

The first general election of the Yongzheng reign began.

The talent show was under the charge of the Queen, and Jiayue had no intention of joining in the fun. After the preliminary and re-elections, the final selection finally arrived, which was held at the Jiangxuexuan in the Imperial Garden.

Chuxiu Palace is very close to the Imperial Garden, and Jiayue can occasionally hear the noise outside when she stays in the palace.

"Where is the draft going?"

"I sent someone to watch it. It should be almost over. To be honest, this selection was not a big deal. The emperor only selected princesses from the families of officials serving in Beijing. There were not many people, so it should be over soon."

"Earlier, the queen summoned two princesses from the Ulanara clan. They are said to be sisters. It is unlikely that they will enter the palace together. I just don't know which of them will be able to enter the palace!"

"I don't know either, but the Queen's plan, could it be that she wants to have a child through surrogacy?"

Baochun said in a low voice.

Jiayue shook her head slightly: "Who knows! What I didn't expect was that the Niuhulu clan also sent a princess to participate in the election. She is not from the same branch as Concubine Xi. The princess of the Fucha family also came to join in the fun. There is also the Guarjia clan. If they enter the palace, it will be a lively scene!"

In the past, most of Yinzhen's concubines were from the Han army.

Historically, Yinzhen was 45 years old when he ascended the throne, which was really old. In addition, there was no general election for three years after he ascended the throne. By the time he started the election, he was almost 50 years old. The big Manchu families had already set their sights on his son.

He had ascended the throne several years earlier, and everything was different.

The princesses of the Niuhuru clan are from the same branch as the late emperor's Empress Xiaozhaoren, and are therefore from the maternal family of the late emperor's tenth prince.

Fucha clan, Ma Qi once had an affair with the Eighth Prince. Although this princess of the Fucha clan was not from the direct branch of his family, she was one of the closest branches.

The princesses of the Guwalja clan were from the branch of the late emperor's crown princess, and they were not too distantly related.

It seems that, because they were not deeply involved in the fight for the throne, they sent their daughters to the palace with the intention of bowing their heads and begging for mercy.

There were many people involved in the fight for succession during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Even if it was just to make his attitude clear, Yinzhen had to bring these three people into the palace.

There are four Manchu army flags, and the Han army flag cannot be left behind, and the Mongolian army flag must also be there.

There are quite a few newcomers this time.

The key is that the forces and interests represented by the back will only become more complicated.

The final election was over and Baochun came to report.

"Your Majesty, there are seven people selected this time, Ulanara Shuqing, Niuhulu Fangqin, Fucha Baoyun, Guarjia Mingyue from the Manchu Army Banner, Lin Qingyue, Zhao Yunqing from the Han Army Banner, and Bayara Gege from the Mongolian Army Banner."

The Mongolian military flag does not count for the time being; her entry into the palace is more symbolic.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there might still be some competitiveness. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, there was not much future. But in the future, when your qualifications and experience are improved, you will definitely have a position.

There are four people in the Manchu army flag and two people in the Han army flag.

She had heard that these six people had their own unique looks, especially the two who were from the Han Army Banner, who were particularly eye-catching.

The turmoil in the harem never stops!

"I now only hope that Chuxiu Palace will not admit new people, or that the new people will be more obedient."

"The Sixth Prince is still here! Even if a new person enters Chuxiu Palace, it won't be too noisy. After all, the Empress is very 'caring' about the heir to the throne."

Jiayue smiled: "You are right to remind me, I am overthinking, the Queen is here!"

There was a crying child in Chuxiu Palace. If the newlyweds were too noisy, it would seem that the Queen had bad intentions. The Queen valued her reputation, so she was overthinking it.

It was two days later that Jiayue found out the positions of the newcomers.

Seven of them all hold the position of maids. To be honest, the forces behind them are different. But on the surface, the official positions of their fathers are not high.

They are all permanent residents, neither high nor low, and none of them has a title.

Nothing interesting happened during the talent show. It seems that Yinzhen's mind is still on the imperial concubine!

A few days later, the palace where the newlyweds would live was decided, and the result was very good. No new people moved into the Chuxiu Palace. In response, Jiayue smiled and rewarded Baochun with a very heavy gold hairpin.

A month after the talent show ended, newcomers began to enter the palace one after another.

Jiayue gave the seven people rewards that were almost the same according to her status, and they were all things that could not go wrong.

"My lady, tomorrow the newlyweds will pay their respects for the first time. I have had some new clothes made for you. Please take a look. Do you like any of them?"

Jiayue looked at the clothes and then chose a sapphire blue dress with Cantonese embroidery chrysanthemum pattern. It looked steady and in line with her current status as a mother.

Of course, newlyweds are not allowed to wear this color, but it does avoid the embarrassing situation of having the same color as other newlyweds.

"This one will do."

Baochun called Baoqiu and asked her to prepare matching jewelry.

The next day, Jiayue went to Jingren Palace wearing her new sapphire blue dress. As soon as she sat down, she heard Concubine Yu speak.

"Sister Jingpin's dress is really beautiful. The Guangdong embroidered chrysanthemums on it look like real ones. I wonder which embroiderer made them?"

Jiayue smiled and said: "It was made by a maid in my sister's palace. If you like it, I will have someone send a copy of the embroidery pattern to you."

"That's great, I'd like to thank you very much."

"You're welcome, sister."

After talking about clothes, Yubin began to talk about the new people.

"The new sisters who entered the palace are all waiting in the conservatory. Have you met the new sisters yet?"

"Not yet. The Queen Mother was considerate of my younger sister because the Sixth Prince was living there and it was rather noisy, so she didn't arrange for the new younger sister to live in Chuxiu Palace. Instead, a Concubine Lin lived in my sister's Zhongcui Palace."

Yupin nodded: "Lin Changzai looks well-behaved and knows the rules very well."

"Just be well behaved and follow the rules."

Just then, Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi arrived, and Concubine Yu started chatting with Concubine Xi again.

As for Concubine Qi, she was very quiet.

However, Concubine Xi looked at Concubine Qi and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that Concubine Zhao is Concubine Qi's cousin. Is it true?"

Concubine Qi looked up at Concubine Xi and said, "I heard that Concubine Niu Hulu is your biological sister! Is that true?"

Concubine Xi was stunned by her, her smile disappeared and she said no more.

Jiayue watched from the side. Although Niuhulu Changzai and Concubine Xi had the same surname, their relationship was not close.

However, it is very likely that Zhao Changzai really has some relationship with Concubine Qi. It may be unlikely that she is a biological cousin, but it is possible that she is a distant cousin.

Concubine Xi doesn't seem like the kind of person who would attack someone without reason.

The relationship behind the newcomers was more complicated than she thought.

In addition, that Concubine Lin probably would not be without a backer, and perhaps it was related to the harem of the late emperor. After all, in the late Kangxi period, he favored concubines from the Han Army Banner more.

Concubine Nian is here.

Concubine Nian was as taciturn as ever, but she still looked pretty even with a cold face.

Not long after Concubine Nian arrived, the Queen came out. Today the Queen was more solemn than usual. In fact, the concubines who came to pay their respects today all paid great attention to their attire.

After everyone bowed and sat down, the queen said to the palace maid beside her: "Let the new concubines come in!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid received the order to leave, and everyone's expressions changed, and the room fell silent.
