After three points of rain, there will be seven points of dividends.
Just now, there was a drizzle in the sky. The flowers in the garden were washed away by the drizzle from the dust of the world, revealing their more delicate and beautiful faces, competing to bloom.
Under the sunset, the graceful and stretched leaves are still covered with crystal raindrops. When the raindrops fall, the delicate leaves hang without wind.
The harem of the Forbidden City was originally the most deserted place in the world. The harem was highly hierarchical. Each concubine lived in a separate place, and they were not allowed to be together according to the rules.
But today, the Yalan Hall of Qingning Palace where Concubine Guo Hui lived was very lively. Concubine Hui, who was most relied upon by the emperor in the harem, the biological mothers of several brat princes, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Li, Concubine Ge and others were all there, in
Together with the accompanying maids, Noda's palace became lively at once.
In his life, Zhu Yuanzhang really achieved power in the world and fell drunk on the knees of beauties. Not only did he conquer the Ming Empire, but he also had many beauties in the harem. The concubines sitting here are prominent in the palace, and those who have not given birth have low status.
There are countless concubines, beauties and so on.
The elegant orchid hall was surrounded by a sea of flowers. Concubine Guo Hui was sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea in her hand. She smiled and said to the concubines, "Long live someone sent a message, saying that I would choose a bride for King Wu."
." After saying that, he put down the tea cup in his hand and continued, "But I have been in this deep palace all my life. There is no one in my mother's family, and I don't know the foreign ministers. I don't know where to choose someone, so I invited my sisters here.
Discuss and discuss!”
After the words fell, all the princesses were all smiling. This was a happy event. In the past two years, there have been so many sad things in the palace, but now they can finally be happy.
At that moment, King Shen's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, said, "I don't know, what kind of person do you want to find for King Wu?"
"Of course he is virtuous!" Guo Huifei smiled.
Marry a virtuous wife, this is the tune set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself during the founding period of the People's Republic of China.

This trend continued throughout the Ming Dynasty. The wives of the crown princes were not women of very good family backgrounds. Most of them were of average family backgrounds and were the daughters of minor officials at most.
Firstly, it is to prevent the relatives from becoming monopolistic and powerful. Secondly, to put it bluntly, the eldest young ladies all have a temperamental temperament, and the men of the Zhu family are all straight men.
"That's just right!" Zhao Fei covered his mouth and said with a smile, "My natal family has a niece who just turned fifteen this year. She is good-looking and neat, and has a generous temper. She is good at everything."
"What is her father's official position?" Guo Huifei asked with a smile.
Concubine Zhao thought about it, "He is a commander of the Military and Horse Division!"
Concubine Guo Hui nodded. The soldiers and horses were not high-ranking officials, but they were in line with their status.
Concubine Zhao spoke, and the other concubines also talked about the suitable female relatives of their juniors.
All the concubines in the harem could see that the emperor was interested in King Wu. The emperor was old, and now he was getting married to King Wu. Wouldn't that be a good relationship?
Guo Huifei looked at it with a smile and found that Xu Meiren, who had just given birth to a princess to the emperor last year, was sitting on the outside and was silent.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Tell me?"
Xu Meiren stood up and asked Fu'an. She had the lowest status among those present and was afraid to speak.
Concubine Guo Huifei said again, "You don't say anything. Do you have something on your mind? Tell me and listen!"
"It's not a matter of concern!" Xu Meiren smiled, "I'm just thinking in my heart that His Highness King Wu is on his third trip, and King Huai is on his second trip. Prince Huai's marriage has not yet been decided, so..."
"Sister, I'm tired, go back and rest!" Guo Huifei suddenly frowned and waved to see the guest off.
Beauty Xu seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly apologized and left timidly with her head lowered.
In the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing was the direct lineage, followed by the order of elders and young ones. The emperor did not talk about the marriage of King Huai, but first talked about King Wu. Isn't this a lice on the bald man's head? It's obvious.
If you are so blind, no wonder you are just a beauty even if you are beautiful and fragrant.
Guo Huifei looked at Xu Meiren's retreating back and sneered in her heart.
At this time, a palace servant came up and whispered a few words in Guo Huifei's ear, and the latter's sneer suddenly turned into astonishment.
He turned around and said, "Really? Why?"
At this moment, all the princesses looked over in surprise.
Then, the palace man said it again in a voice that only Concubine Guo Hui could hear.
There was no visible change in Concubine Guo's face, but there was worry in her eyes. Then she stood up, smiled at the concubines around her, and said, "Sisters, it's getting late today, let's go!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and agreed, "Congratulations to my queen!"
Concubine Guo Hui led the palace maids out of the Yalan Hall. After walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Isn't it broken?"
"The doctor at Tai Hospital said that the blood is bruised and it will take a few days to recover!" the palace man replied cautiously.
"Is there any flower oil that Tubo paid tribute to reduce swelling and remove siltation? Find it and let's go to the East Palace!" Concubine Guo Hui said as she walked, "If you spread the word, everyone in the palace will keep their mouths shut. No matter what they know, they will all know it."
You are not allowed to speak or discuss in private. Otherwise, I will cut her tongue!"
"Yes!" The palace people responded in unison.
Deep love means deep love. It is not a big deal for elders to spank their children. However, there are some short-sighted people in the palace, and there are no rumors.
Concubine Guo Hui married Zhu Yuanzhang when she was fourteen years old. After a lifetime, she knew his temper all too well. If he was really angry with any of his children, he would not even punish him, but would send him away without mercy and never see him again. Arrangements
A fiefdom is just a vassal.
The King of Wu was beaten for quarreling with the old prince because of political affairs, which further shows that the old prince valued the King of Wu. When the prince was still alive, weren't the two of them often choked because of political affairs?
Just like that, gradually Zhu Yunxi's residence in the East Palace, Ruixiang Pavilion, arrived.
Concubine Guo Hui is the oldest concubine in the palace, and she is a biological sister with a different surname from the late empress. Even when the prince was alive, he would always call her concubine. Naturally, no one would dare to stop her from coming to the East Palace.

It was getting late, and Huang Gou'er silently added a lamp to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang was paying close attention to the memorials in various places. When he saw the lights coming, he said without raising his head, "Go, add lights and water to our eldest grandson, so he can read..."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused. He looked towards the table where Zhu Yunxi studied every day and saw it was empty. Deep regret suddenly appeared on his face.
At that moment, I couldn't stand the book anymore and just looked over there.
Today's attack is heavy. Young people are smart. Sometimes they think wrong or go too far. It's normal. You can just do your grandfather's education, why do you let others take the blame?
Besides, although what Da Sun said was a bit crooked, the starting point was good and the idea was not bad. At least no one in Manchaowu could think of it, not even his own sons and grandsons.
The eldest son is smart. At his age, he still wants to pray for alms all over the world.
The old man's mood is like this, always worrying about gains and losses.
The hall was empty, without Zhu Yunxi's sincere laughter in the past, and his heart felt empty. Thinking of the child's swollen butt again, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer sit still.
Throwing away the book in his hand, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the East Palace and take a look!"
"Your Majesty, rise..."
Before Huang Gou'er could say the word "drive", he was immediately kicked by Zhu Yuanzhang and chopped directly on his thigh.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Who do you show that score to at home? How can you show so many people at night?"
The old emperor was moody, and Huang Gou'er didn't dare to be angry or speak out. He got up, endured the pain, and ordered the palace people to clear the way.
Zhu Yuanzhang held his hands behind his back and walked very fast. The cloth shoes he was holding were splashing on the stone slabs after the rain.
Soon after, Ruixiang Pavilion of the East Palace arrived.
Several palace officials wanted to kneel down and salute, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him. He walked softly to the illuminated Zhu Yunxi door and heard voices coming from inside.
"Brother Xi, your grandpa has a bad temper, don't feel aggrieved!"
It was Concubine Guo Hui's voice. She was heard continuing to say in the room, "Back then, when your grandpa was not the emperor, none of your uncles, including your father, had ever been beaten!"
Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed some anger and a bit of embarrassment. At this time, Guo Huifei said in front of the juniors that she had done something wrong in the past.
"Your grandpa Huang once said that children cannot be effective if they are not beaten. If they are not beaten and disobedient, they will have to be kicked a few times every now and then to become useful. Your grandpa Huang asked someone to beat you. That is because he cares about you. He sees you.
People who can’t get up are not willing to beat them!”
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a smile again, and it was obvious that Guo Huifei's words had entered his heart.
"Mother, how can Xi'er feel wronged? Grandpa Huang hit me for my own good, because he didn't want to see me playing tricks and going astray." Zhu Yunxi's voice in the room was a little weak, which made Zhu Yuanzhang look distressed on his face.
.
"Grandpa Huang beats me for my own good. There is a folk saying that beating means kissing, scolding means loving. If you don't love me enough, you kick me. Grandpa Huang beats me only because he loves me. You understand this truth!"
In the room, Concubine Guo laughed.
Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed silently, thinking in his head, is there such a saying among the people?
"My grandson is now worried whether his recklessness today will make Grandpa Huang angry!" Zhu Yunxi's voice was a little low, "I don't know if he has eaten now? We didn't eat well outside in the afternoon! Hey!
, Grandpa Huang has endless memorials to read every day, and at this time every day he is busy reviewing the memorials on the imperial case."
"It's okay for Xi'er to be there, and it can remind him to get up and move around. But now he is alone in Fengtian Hall with no one to talk to. Xi'er is unfilial, really unfilial!"
My eldest grandson was beaten, but he was still thinking about me, an old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly surged with warmth, and he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he reached out and pushed open the door.

This was not how concubines were selected in the Ming Dynasty. They were also drafted women, and they were more cruel. The plot here is made up by me and is not historically accurate.
