First daughter mad concubine: the best baby rascal

Sure enough, Qianqian saw this sister who was two years older than her bowing down to salute her, with a very respectful expression on her face, she couldn't help being surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, this is my sister, and her identity should be higher than mine. Come on, why do you still want to greet me?"

Everyone looked at Qianqian in surprise, and didn't understand why she said such words. The princess couldn't hold back, she smiled awkwardly, and said loudly deliberately: "Because you are from the royal family, they are just some Of course, the child born to the humble concubine will bow to you."

Everyone lowered their heads in shame again, as if the surprise just now was extremely rude.

Soon, other sisters on both sides came to greet Qianqian one by one, and Qianqian replied with a restrained smile, seeming very polite, although considering her modern age, Qianqian can fully afford their greetings.

However, here, what I am thinking about is the strict hierarchy here, is it just the tip of the iceberg?

The concubine nodded with great satisfaction, and ordered to give her a seat.

Immediately, another servant girl and maid came out in a file with exquisite small wooden stools, quietly placed them behind these young ladies, and then withdrew.

After the ladies thanked collectively, they sat down cautiously.

In the ensuing chat, Qianqian calculated quietly, there were as many as five young girls standing here alone, all of them were her sisters, the oldest was only 22 years old, that girl just now, The youngest is only 13 years old. He has just settled with someone else and plans to hold a wedding next year.

The other three people are all married, and they are all second- and third-rate officials in the court. Only one is married to the son of a first-rank official, but he is just a side concubine, subservient to the main concubine, and his life is still alive. Let's go.

Qianqian asked again: "Why don't the sisters' mothers come out? Do you want to wait for me to visit?"

The concubine smiled and stretched out her fingers to lightly touch the eyebrows, and said with a smile: "My silly daughter, there is only one side concubine in our palace, and she is not feeling well today, so I didn't ask her to come out. The other concubines usually don't see visitors." , they are just waiting for the prince's blessing in their own small courtyard!"

The implication is that their identities are lowly, and they are not qualified to come out to welcome guests even when they come to the house.

Qianqian couldn't help but looked at these sisters sympathetically, there was no expression of dissatisfaction on their faces, but there was a little more envy in their eyes.

Qianqian asked again: "Do I have only sisters and no brothers?"

The concubine smiled and said, "You have an elder brother who was born to me. He is now serving in the army and is far away in the southwest. I won't be able to see you for a while. There are also a few concubine brothers who all got married and moved out of the palace. Daughter, it’s inconvenient to go to the inner hall frequently, so I didn’t come.”

She stood up, walked to the front with a smile, pointed to a round-cornered mahogany table, and said, "However, their wives and concubines have prepared gifts for you, and they are all here."

Qianqian looked at the dazzling array of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and emeralds on the table, all of which were shining brightly...
