The biography of Xuanhe's imperial concubine

Chapter 47

While Shen Qing, the daughter of the Shen family, was thinking about how to deal with the annoyance brought about by becoming a good concubine, another daughter of the Shen family was going back to the palace. Jin's adoptive mother, now the Empress Dowager.

Neither the former Nan Muxuan nor the present Nan Muxuan had ever met the empress dowager who was said to be the most virtuous person in the late emperor's harem.

The empress dowager came from the Shen family. The Shen family in the early days of the first emperor was a first-class family at that time. At that time, the father of the empress dowager still had a title. She was promoted to Concubine Shu a few years later, and has always been recognized as a good relationship in the palace. The Queen Mother had a son and a daughter.

In order to comfort his beloved concubine, Emperor Ming Ren decided to give Chu Jin, who was only three years old at the time, to Concubine Shu to raise him. I have never cared about it, just let the two nurses take care of it, Emperor Mingren has many heirs, and Chu Jin is just a child of a low-level concubine, and he doesn't care about his son's life or death at all. Jin actually grew up to adulthood in the harem healthy and healthy, and was granted the title of king and left the palace.

In the 29th year of Mingren, King Rui conspired against him, assassinated the prince, and surrounded the palace. Fortunately, King An picked him up in time, and the incident failed. The prince was seriously injured and died.

In the 31st year of Mingren, King An and King Jin intended to rebel and poisoned the emperor. Unfortunately, King Kang saw it through. The two sides fought, King Kang was seriously injured, and King Jin died.

In the 32nd year of Mingren, Emperor Mingren established Concubine Shu as the queen, and the sixth son, King Cheng, as the crown prince.In the 33rd year of Mingren, the emperor died and Chu Jin ascended the throne.So far, the six-year-long turmoil among the kings finally ended with the victory of Concubine Shu and Chu Jin.

The queen mother was not in the palace when the original owner was drafted. When the queen mother returned to the palace, the original owner was not qualified to greet the queen mother with her status at that time. When the original owner fell into the water, the core was replaced by the current Nan Muxuan and successfully promoted to become Xiaoyi. At that time, the empress dowager was no longer in the palace.

Why the queen mother is always not in the harem? There are many theories. It is speculated that the mother-child disharmony is the mainstream, but the official theory is that the queen mother misses the late emperor, so she often goes to the palace where the late emperor lived, and it is close to the Daming Temple, which is convenient. The queen mother bowed to Buddha.

The empress dowager arrived at the palace on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. On that day, Nan Muxuan was called up by Yuxi to put on makeup according to her grade. Before dawn, she gathered from Yunxiang Pavilion to the empress. The closely related royal clansmen have long been waiting in the queen's palace.

Princess An Le gave Nan Muxuan a friendly smile when she came in, and after she greeted the queen, she gently praised her for being beautiful and painful, which made all the wives of the clan look at her again. .

Those who can wait here to welcome the empress dowager are naturally noble women who have a certain understanding of the emperor's harem. As soon as Nan Muxuan came in, they had already secretly scrutinized the new favorite of the emperor's harem. Too much care, after all, the emperor's new favorite is just that, and Nan Muxuan is just Ronghua now.

But I didn't expect that this new favorite was actually someone who even Princess Anle would take the initiative to smile at. In the court, even the empress dowager's own daughter, the eldest princess Minghua, can't compare to it. Such a concubine who is so gentle with her face is definitely extraordinary.

Although Nan Muxuan was also a little surprised, she was calm and composed. She took Princess Anle's words with a smile in a very natural and intimate manner, and then complimented her. Although the coming and going were only a few words, but Nan Muxuan can be regarded as the first concubine below the concubine. Regarding the strange eyes of others, Nan Muxuan said that she is not afraid to look at her beauty.

A group of people, led by the empress, stood at the Zhengyang Gate to welcome the empress dowager. Nan Muxuan is wearing high-grade attire, and she can't wear more, and it's not suitable for this occasion , Nan Muxuan stood there upright, but the inside was already freezing.

Fortunately, the empress dowager arrived in front of the Zhengyang Gate in a short while, and when the empress dowager yelled to return to the palace, all of them fell to their knees, including Nan Muxuan, but not including the rows in front, empresses, Princess Anle and others .

They are just some props for the empress to put on a big scene in order to welcome the empress. After the empress raised her voice, she took the empress's hand and headed towards Ningshou Palace without even looking at them. The first three rows naturally follow.

After they got the props up, they went back to their respective palaces, and went to find their own stoves. A noble person like the Empress Dowager has just returned to the palace, so how could she have time to see them.

Nan Muxuan said that this is really not a good thing.

On the second day, after the concubines in the harem greeted the queen, they were led by the queen to Ningshou Palace.

Ningshou Palace is not too far from Zhaoming Palace. It is a simple and heavy palace with exquisite layout and graceful courtyard. It is said that Ningshou Palace is the residence of queen mothers who were not the original spouse of emperors in the past. There is also Kang'an Palace. This is where the emperor's former wife, the empress dowager, lived.

However, although Dayuan is also a system of eldest son inheritance in which the first son is established but not the eldest son, since the founding of the country, no emperor has been born as the eldest son, and Kang'an Palace has only lived in one empress dowager, while Ningshou Palace has is never empty.
