Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Oh, by the way, my elder sister will take them around the palace in a while. Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has tidied up several palaces. Miaoyu will come over soon and arrange for them to stay."

Yuanchun glanced at Jia Hong with some surprise in her eyes. The harem was not arranged casually. Each palace had its own rules. For example, Kunning Palace was where the queen lived. If the girl moved in at this time, wouldn't it tell everyone that the queen had been decided? The same was true for the other palaces.

Seeing Yuanchun hesitated, Jia Hong guessed what she was thinking, then he smiled and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. Since I am the supreme ruler, I can still decide these things."

Although he said this with a smile, Yuanchun could sense that Jia Hong's self-confidence, arrogance and dominance were completely different from those of Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty mostly used the power of others to mediate when dealing with the court, but Jia Hong gave her the feeling that she had to either obey or get out, there was no third option. He was the kind of person who held all the power and controlled the government, and if the emperor was angry, millions of people would die.

Yuanchun, who has read many books, has only seen battles of wits and courage between the imperial power and the prime minister's power. How can there be such arbitrary and tyrannical people? Often such people are generally called dictators or lonely people in history books.

After Jia Hong left, the girls asked in confusion, "Big sister, what did the emperor mean just now?"

Yuanchun sighed, but did not hide the secret, but told it all.

"So, if we are assigned to those places, doesn't it mean..."

Xiangyun stopped talking here, but she could still sense that the sisters were very nervous.

If someone is arranged to live in Kunning Palace, doesn’t that mean that the future position of queen will belong to that person?

When she thought of this, even Baochai's breathing unconsciously became heavier.

However, Daiyu was a little confused, as she had heard Lin Ruhai mention some of these things before.

"Big sister, isn't the position of empress decided by the emperor and the ministers after consultation? If the position of empress is hastily decided, what if those ministers disagree?"

Jia Yuanchun pulled Daiyu to sit down, and she said softly: "Brother Hong is different from others, or rather different from all the previous emperors. Whether in civil or military affairs, he has the power to suppress those ministers, so those people respect and fear him. In the matter of establishing a queen, if he decides, none of the ministers dare to speak out against it."

When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up. Thinking of the figure who had shed his youthfulness and become more majestic, they felt a little dazed.

"Hey, who is that person?"

Yuanchun brought the girls to the Imperial Garden. After continuous expansion, the Imperial Garden has become a large place covering more than ten acres. Many flowers are planted in the courtyard, including various rare varieties. Due to the season, chrysanthemums are the most colorful at this moment. Here, Xiangyun found two girls playing.

Since someone reminded them, all the sisters looked over.

Daiyu and Xichun were obviously stunned, because they had seen that person before, but the others had not. When they saw the girl, their first thought was that she was so beautiful.

Beauties are like jade. These women are not born ugly. On the contrary, they are very beautiful. They have different temperaments, just like plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, each has its own merits.

But there was only one word they could describe the person in front of them: beautiful, very beautiful.

"Big sister, who is this person and why is he like this?"

As if she remembered something, Daiyu asked uncertainly: "But the noble lady of the Fan family?" She and Xichun had met the Queen Fan Zhixuan before. She was a truly peerless beauty. But the one in front of her, although not wearing a phoenix robe, but just an ordinary palace dress, was so beautiful that she could outshine all the other beauties. Those blooming chrysanthemums became her foil.

Motoharu nodded.

Hearing this, the women couldn't help but feel a strange hostility in their hearts. This incredibly beautiful person was the first person Jia Hong brought into the palace.

Fan Ruoli seemed to have noticed the commotion here as well. After all, Yuanchun came out with a group of people, and the commotion was quite big. Even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't. After thinking about it, Fan Ruoli walked over.

"Greetings, Madam Concubine!"

"No need to be polite, Lady Fan!"

The meeting between the two was quite natural, and even Daiyu and Xichun, who were standing by, did not notice anything unusual. This made the two of them feel suspicious. Could it be that they were wrong, and the person in front of them was not the Queen Fan Zhixuan they had met before?

Then Fan Ruoli looked at the group of people behind Yuanchun and asked curiously, "Madam, who are these people?"

Yuanchun's heart moved. She had never realized that Fan Ruoli's acting skills were so good. Even if she had not seen the others, she had already seen Daiyu and Xichun. As for the rest, she could guess what they were like, but she pretended that she had never seen them before.

Besides, the palace did not hide the fact that he went to the Jia Mansion to pick someone up. Those who should know it already knew about it. This person's mental quality is too good.

"They are the sisters of the Ningrong Duke's Mansion. The emperor ordered them to be recruited into the palace. In the future, they may all be sisters. If there is anything wrong with my sisters, please bear with them, Concubine Fan."

Fan Ruoli looked very surprised, but after hearing Yuanchun's words, she quickly replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, that's not true. Since you are specially recruited by the emperor's decree, then of course the emperor favors you very much. Who knows, you will need the care of the ladies in the future!"

After chatting for a while, Fan Ruoli stood up and said goodbye.

Looking at each other's backs, Daiyu and Xichun looked at each other. The Fan Zhixuan in their memory was not like this. Her every move revealed grace, unlike now, who was romantic by nature but a little restrained.

"She is truly a beauty."

Xiangyun was very emotional. This was the first time she met Fan Ruoli. She thought she was already stunningly beautiful in her daily life, but she didn't expect that there would be such a beauty in this deep palace.

"Big sister is right. Concubine Fan looks at least 90% like the late queen."

Daiyu no longer worried about the relationship between Fan Ruoli and Fan Zhixuan. After all, it was Jia Hong's idea that Fan Ruoli could enter the palace. The matter was already a foregone conclusion. Even if the relationship between the two was proven, what would it matter? It was better to pretend that she didn't know.

"Yes, at first I thought it was the Queen!"

Xichun guessed something, but she didn't intend to delve into it.

Jia Hong's current identity has destined him to have more than one or two women. If they cannot accept this, sooner or later they will part ways with Jia Hong for this reason. This is not what she wants to see. Fortunately, this is the way it is in this era. An excellent man will never lack women around him. The two of them changed their mindsets quickly and slowly let it go.

Just like that, both of them seemed to understand Miaoyu's choice. In addition to the reasons at the beginning, there was another point: Jia Hong might have more than one concubine, but she might be his only confidant.
