Yikun Palace, in the east corner of the back hall.
Concubine Yi sat and was listening to Peilan's reply.
First, she sent Peilan to Yanxi Palace to visit Zhang Concubine.
Even if Zhang Bin didn't come to disturb her, she knew it and couldn't pretend not to know.
"When the concubine passed by, she was just catching up on her sleep, so I went over to take a look and found that she was sleeping peacefully..."
"I have asked Grandma Cui and she said that she has some 'liver stagnation' and some women's symptoms. The Imperial Hospital has already given a prescription and she has started taking medicine now. It is not an emergency..."
"I will temporarily stay at Yanxi Palace for the next two days and will not return to Changchun Palace..."
"My servant also met Master Hui. Master Hui said that he had already mentioned the matter of moving the palace to the emperor..."
Yifei listened and said nothing.
When the harem is promoted to concubine, it becomes the head of the first palace, and it is necessary to divide the clothes and control the population according to the name.
Even if Zhang Concubine and Wei Concubine are both imperial concubines and have no ceremony, it will not affect anything.
Perhaps because the country was founded not long ago, the rules in the palace were not complete.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Concubine Wen Xi. When she enters the palace, she is considered a concubine, and she is also given a title. When she is promoted to a concubine, she is given the ceremony of enrolment.
The current Concubine Xianfu and Concubine Tong were not canonized, but were conferred by imperial edict, which did not prevent them from becoming the masters of the first palace.
The reason why Concubine Zhang and Concubine Wei did not have separate palaces is a long story.
In the early years, there were no empty palaces.
Only Chengqian Palace is empty, which was where Empress Xiaoyi was enshrined.
Not to mention the junior concubines, even their senior fourth concubines couldn't move in, so they just left it idle.
In the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial concubine passed away and a longevity palace was vacated.
In the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, the concubine passed away, leaving a Chuxiu Palace.
The six east and west palaces are also divided into honorary positions.
Needless to say, Yikun Palace and Chengqian Palace have the most prestigious locations.
Then the ones in the south are closer than the ones in the north, and those closer to Qianqing Palace are better than those farther away.
Everyone has his own opinion.
There are exceptions, however.
Just like Concubine Hui lived in Yanxi Palace, no one said that it was not an honorable position.
Anyway, the longevity palace has a prestigious position and has served as the palace of Empress Xiaozhao and the imperial concubine. It is not suitable for ordinary concubines.
Chuxiu Palace has been renovated a long time ago.
However, there were two concubines who did not have a separate palace. The Wei concubine was qualified and the Zhang concubine was favored. The new master of the palace was still undecided.
Isn’t it enough for now?
Yifei glanced to the west.
The position of the concubine may not be preserved.
He is also the first old man to enter the palace. He has also witnessed the matters of respecting and arranging concubines. He still dares to do this. It can only be said that he is seeking his own death.
When Duan concubine fell, Changchun Palace was empty.
It should be that Concubine Wei moved to Changchun Palace and Concubine Zhang moved to Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Yi said to Peilan: "Look through the book of wedding gifts from the early years and prepare two housewarming gifts!"
Peilan responded, and the little palace maid came in from outside and said: "Master, Miss Chun from the second house is here, waiting outside."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Pass it on."
Yesterday, I told Concubine Hui about her irritability and she found out that it was a common problem after childbirth. She felt at ease and her mood was much more stable.
Now I am also curious about the reactions of everyone in the palace.
Xiao Chun followed the palace maid in, carrying a big package in her hand, and greeted Concubine Yi: "Good morning, Madam, we in Fujin have prepared a few snacks, which are full but not fat. We sent the slaves to deliver them to the Queen.
.”
Concubine Yi couldn't care less about the gossip and said hurriedly: "Come here and let me see what's there? I'm really greedy. I'm missing a molar."
Xiao Chun took off the package and opened it. There were oil paper packages inside.
"This package is pork breasts, honey-flavored; this package is beef cubes, with sesame and seaweed; this package is chicken sausage, and the other is chicken floss..."
"It's hot in summer. Except for chicken floss, other things can't be stored in the refrigerator. It's best to store it on the ice. When you want to eat it, take it to the house and wait for a few hours. If you don't store it on the ice, it will take three days.
Eat it within a day..."
After explaining this, she took out a few pages of paper and said: "Here are the recipes. If the queen likes to eat something, you can ask the people in the kitchen to make it, or send someone to the second house..."
After saying that, she handed the prescription to Peilan.
Concubine Yi couldn't wait any longer and ordered the maid next to her: "Go and get a clean towel quickly..."
After wiping her hands, Concubine Yi picked up the pork jerky and ate it.
It's shiny and pleasing to look at.
There is no meaty smell of pork, only the sweetness of honey.
The hardness is just right, chewy and won't hurt your teeth.
Yifei tasted everything twice and drank a bowl of milk tea. She was really half full.
She lowered her head in confusion and looked at the beef cubes in her hand, feeling a little confused.
"How many pieces did I eat?"
she asked Perlando.
Peilan had just served the tea. He looked at it carefully, thought for a while, and said: "Two pieces of pork breasts, four beef cubes, one chicken sausage, one mouthful of meat floss..."
Concubine Yi then put the beef nuggets in her hand into her mouth and said with a bit of reluctance: "Put it away. No wonder Jiu Fujin said it was full. It's true, this is only a few mouthfuls!"
She was satisfied with the meal, and after swallowing it all, she looked at Xiaochun and said, "Besides giving food, what else did you Fujin do?"
Xiao Chun said: "We, Fujin, want to pay our respects to your Majesty, and let me ask if it is convenient for your Majesty to be here..."
"The First Lady told Fu Jin not to come here, and Fujin didn't dare to disturb him easily. But Master Jiu said that there was a commotion in Changchun Palace yesterday, and he was afraid that the Lady would be worried, so he still wanted to ask Fujin to come over to greet you and talk about the things outside..."
Concubine Yi did not answer in a hurry and asked: "What do people say about Changchun Palace?"
Xiao Chun considered it carefully and said: "There are too many speculations out there... I am afraid that something bad will happen to the Empress of Changchun Palace..."
Who wouldn’t be afraid of the scene yesterday?
During the palace raids two years ago or so, few people from the inner court were involved, and most of them were servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Nowadays, some people have connected the news in Changchun Palace with the events of the year before and after, and a lot of speculations have arisen.
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "When it gets cooler in the afternoon, I'll let you Fujin come over and talk."
Xiao Chun agreed and retreated.
Concubine Yi took two sips of tea, thought about it, and told Peilan: "The dried pork tastes good. Let the kitchen make more. Sister Huifei also likes snacks. I will send her two boxes later."
Peilan agreed and sent someone to the kitchen to try it out.
Pork breast meat needs to be sliced, marinated, and grilled.
It took more than an hour before the first furnace came out.
Yifei had already woken up from a nap. When she saw the pork breast that was still hot, she hurriedly tasted a piece.
"The roasting is not dry enough, and it is not as chewy as the second one. It needs to be dryer to make it taste better..."
She finds fault.
During the northern tour last year, the people at Ningshou Palace thought Shu Shu's girl was good, and she feels better now too.
She thought that all the food was provided by her daughter-in-law's dowry.
After all, Shu Shu doesn't look like a greedy person on weekdays.
Although the windows are closed in the room, it is not completely airtight.
The window in the second room is open.
In addition, there were agarwood Ruyi and mint ointments in the room, so the smell was quite fresh, and Yifei herself was in a good mood.
She was bored, so she took the flower cards and played with pairs of cards.
When Shu Shu brought Xiao Chun and Walnut over, she saw this situation.
Shu Shu realized later that she had forgotten mahjong.
It's been half a month since I came to the southern part of the country, and things have happened one after another.
You can talk to Ninth Brother later and decide whether to contact the craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs or someone from outside.
In later generations, mahjong was made of celluloid, while in the past, it seemed to be made of bamboo, ivory, and jade.
Let’s not mention ivory first…
Bamboo and jade are both perfect for summer...
Concubine Yi invited Shu Shu to sit in front of her, and said with a smile: "Come here, Baba, what on earth do you want to tell me?"
Shu Shu said honestly: "Our master is worried. We just got the news this morning. When he learned about the incident in Changchun Palace, our master went directly to the Shenxing Department and didn't ask anything..."
Concubine Yi shook her head and said: "I'm just thinking about it. Now that I know it's the accident in Changchun Palace, why are you worried about me? It's irrelevant?"
Shu Shu explained: "Because all the palace attendants in Changchun Palace were detained, and it happened to be known that Empress Zhang Bin had hired an imperial doctor, our master was worried about poisoning or something, and was also worried about the empress giving birth. There were also people in Yikun Palace.
Disobedient..."
Concubine Yi couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "How dare he think of poisoning? If we really want to find out that thing in this palace, how many people inside and outside here will lose their heads?"
This is also a strange place in the palace. It is easy for people to sneak in, but it is difficult for things to sneak in.
To sneak in, you just need to have a legitimate waist card, and you also need to be about the same height, short, fat, thin, and have facial features similar to the owner of the waist card.
Because at the gate of the palace, there are many small shadows or facial descriptions on the entrance and exit stalls, such as "white face without beard", "eight eyebrows, pig kidney face" and so on.
On the contrary, it was things. Even with the status of Jiu Age and Shu Shu, the prince and the prince Fujin, no one dared to search them unless they were on them. All other things had to be checked at the entrance of the imperial city and the palace city in turn.
Otherwise, how would others know about the Nine Blessings and Jin Fu?
In this year alone, several boxes of gold and silver were brought into the palace.
Other palace residents also have their bodies checked, and not even a scrap of paper can be kept privately, but must be reported.
That's why Concubine Yi said this.
If poison is really brought in, the eunuchs in charge of the military barracks, the guard office, and all parts of the palace must all be held accountable.
Shu Shu then talked about how Brother Jiu went to Changchun Garden with Zhao Chang in the morning, and said: "Master Jiu said that the emperor did not mention Changchun Palace, but only talked about the ice cellar..."
At this point, she paused and said: "But I heard that Zhao Chang has returned to the palace again. It should be that the emperor has made a decision..."
As luck would have it, before she could finish her words, a shrill cry could be heard in the distance.
"Empress, Empress Yi Fei..."
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other.
Concubine Yi said: "Duan concubine's movements..."
She looked at Peilan and said, "Go and see what's going on..."
Perrin responded.
Concubine Yi looked a little confused.
Although I had known for a long time that Duan Concubine would not escape this time, I felt strange after hearing the cry just now.
Duan concubine currently has no children and no favors, but it is not that she has never given birth. In the tenth year of Kangxi's reign, she gave birth to the second daughter of the emperor, who died when she was three years old.
She likes to rely on her old age and show off her old age. That's because she is really senior. She entered the palace at about the same time as Concubine Rong, and she is one of the earliest concubines around the emperor...

Peilan walked out of Yikun Gate. There were no more shouts from the concubines outside, but there was also movement on the west long street.
Peilan walked over and saw Zhao Chang leading several brave eunuchs.
The two of them were dragging the concubine with her head drooped, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Peilan was horrified, but she looked at Zhao Chang calmly and said, "I have met Mr. Zhao. Our master heard the commotion outside and sent me to take a look."
Zhao Chang nodded and said: "I am also about to pay my respects to Master Yi. I wonder if it would be convenient for Master Yi?"
Peilan said: "Jiu Fujin is here, chatting with our master..."
Zhao Chang then ordered the people behind him: "Take the Dong Palace woman down."
The people behind him responded.
Zhao Chang followed Peilan to Yikun Palace.
When Peilan went in to deliver the message, Concubine Yi knew that this was not Zhao Chang's wish to pay her respects, but rather that he was delivering a message by order.
Previously, because her daughter-in-law was coming over, she changed into clean clothes and could see people, so she told Peilan, "Please come to the next room and see where you are seated."
Peilan went down and Concubine Yi got off the kang and was about to go out.
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Madam, wait a moment, wait until the window is closed..."
The window outside is still open, so if you sit on the south kang and talk, it will be blowing.
Although it is a summer breeze, who knows if something will go wrong.
Xiaochun and another little palace maid heard this and hurriedly went to the next room to close the window.
Concubine Yi pointed at her head and said, "Isn't this a forehead wipe? If you don't wear it, you're afraid of the wind, and you'll get a headache easily. If you wear it, it's fine."
Shu Shu said: "It has to do with your health, so you should be careful. Not only should you be afraid of blowing your head, but you should also not catch cold on your body. Otherwise, it will be confinement disease. Unless you have another baby next time and adjust it during confinement, you will have to take care of yourself."
The roots are left..."
Yi Fei was overjoyed: "You kid, how dare you think that I would be ashamed if you had this one. If you have another one, it would be a big joke in the capital!"
Shu Shu supported Concubine Yi and said, "That's because they are envious, jealous, and envious of the empress's good fortune."
"Hahahaha, envy, jealousy, hate, that's good, but isn't it all pink eye?"
Yifei laughed heartily.
Zhao Chang entered the second room of the back hall and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enjoying themselves...
