Chapter 937 Lovers Palace
"What the queen said is correct, it's just that we sisters are still crowded in the same palace, not to mention other things, the concubine finds it very inconvenient." Li Shi, who is the concubine of Qi, said embarrassingly.
Previously, because of the death of the first emperor, there were many princes and ministers in the palace, who wanted to fast or something in the palace.
In addition, those concubines did not move from the East and West Sixth Palaces to the widow's area immediately.
So, they had to squeeze into one palace temporarily.
But now, those female relatives who are fasting have already gone back to their respective homes.
The toffees also moved to the widow's area.
There are so many palaces in the harem, but they are still empty.
If you are a concubine or above, you can call yourself your own palace and be a master.
Not to mention that a concubine like Concubine Qi would not be willing to live under the same roof.
The key is that under that roof, there is Nian Shi.
She is a noble concubine, so she has to pay Nian's greetings every day.
Who made them the biggest in Zhongcui Palace?
Therefore, Mrs. Li wished to have her own bedroom sooner.
Let those goblins who are lower than me come to pay her respects every day.
Let her also experience the feeling of being a master.
"I've already focused on this matter, but I don't know if you have any special physical conditions, which ones you can live in, and which ones you can't live in," Ruoyin said.
There is no one likes or dislikes about living separately in the dormitory, it depends on who's preference.
After all, there are some good bedrooms, maybe everyone wants to live in them, so it's not easy to handle.
It can only be said that if anyone is physically unwell, according to the physical aspect, they can still consider it as appropriate.
Concubine Qi, who heard that she could give her opinions, was the first to speak, "Queen, I don't have anything to ask for, I just want to find a place that is spacious enough for Big Gege and Fourth Elder Brother to live in." , so the concubine feels that the location of the Kunning Palace is good, and the place is spacious."
"Since you don't have any special circumstances, then you can't live in Kunning Palace." Ruoyin said without hesitation: "Besides, if you talk about the Sixth Palace, is there any palace that is not spacious enough to accommodate Da Gege and Fourth Elder Brother?" .”
As far as she knew, the Kunning Palace had always been the place where the empress lived.
The name of the Kunning Palace is taken from the sentence in the Tao Te Ching that Kun De Yi Yi Ning, hence the name Kunning Palace.
In the same way, when the sky is clear, the emperor's bedroom is called Qianqing Palace.
In this way, the Palace of Qianqing represents Yang, and the Palace of Kunning represents Yin.
To express the combination of yin and yang, the meaning of heaven and earth.
It's a couple's palace.
It is estimated that this is what Concubine Qi had in mind.
It's a pity that there were variables later.
That Kunning Palace has changed a lot long ago, but Concubine Qi didn't know it.
"Queen, all the concubines are thinking of the children, why is this not a special situation. Besides, Big Gege and Fourth Brother, don't they also call you Queen Mother?" Concubine Qi pouted and complained in a low voice : "According to my concubine, you just don't want to promise this Kunning Palace to my concubine."
"Concubine Qi, it's not that the empress is unwilling to give you the Kunning Palace, it's really that the Kunning Palace...is uninhabitable now." Banmei explained to her master.
"Why can't people live here?" Concubine Qi said relentlessly.
"As we all know, it turns out that this Kunning Palace was the queen's bedroom during the Ming Dynasty. But our Qing Dynasty is a nation that respects gods very much. Therefore, in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the ancestors carried out the Kunning Palace according to the customs of the Manchus. The four rooms at the west end of the Kunning Palace were transformed into a place for worshiping gods, and there are dozens of portraits of Sakyamuni, Guan Yunchang, and Mongolian gods."
Saying that, Banmei straightened her waist, and said to Concubine Qi: "Since then, Kunning Palace has become a sacred place for sacrifices, or the new house of the emperor's wedding. Moreover, after the emperor's wedding, he has to stay for two days. Moving to another palace, apart from this, the emperor who was married before he came to the throne cannot live here, let alone you, Concubine Qi."
If it hadn't been converted into a sacrifice here.
This Kunning Palace may be the empress's bedroom.
How can it be this concubine Qi's turn?
When Concubine Qi heard that Kunning Palace had become a place for offering sacrifices, she smiled embarrassingly.
"Empress, I blame my concubines for being negligent and ignorant. I just entered the palace and don't know much about the east and west palaces. That's why I made a joke and made my sisters laugh at me."
"It's okay." Ruoyin took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Banmei, since Concubine Qi doesn't know much about the harem, you can tell them about the six palaces."
"Yes." After Banmei responded, she said to the concubines in the harem: "Nowadays, the places where ladies live are nothing more than the six east and west palaces. The east six palaces are Jingren Palace, Chengqian Palace, and Zhongcui Palace. Palace of Yanxi Palace, Palace of Yanxi Palace, Palace of Yonghe, and Jingyang Palace. Among them, Jingyang Palace is used for collecting books, so it cannot be inhabited.”
"The West Six Palaces are: Yongshou Palace, Qixiang Palace, Changchun Palace, Yikun Palace, Chuxiu Palace, and Xianfu Palace."
After finishing speaking, Banmei smiled and stood quietly beside Ruoyin.
Concubine Qi saw that Kunning Palace was no longer in the East and West Palaces, so she could only blame herself for not being well informed.
But a while ago, she just aimed at Kunning Palace.
She never paid attention to what Banmei said.
Now even if she had told her so much, she still didn't know which one to choose.
It's Niu Gulu who has been quiet all this time, oh, it should be Concubine Xi now.
Concubine Xi suddenly said: "If it wasn't for the servants around the empress to tell me, the concubine really wouldn't know that there are so many palace names in the East and West Six Palaces. But... this Chengqian Palace seems to sound good. , which means obeying the will of God, whoever wants to live in it will have endless blessings."
Hearing this, Concubine Qi followed closely and said, "Then...then I want this."
Because she doesn't know about other palaces.
Now I only think that Concubine Xi's choice is naturally good, so I follow suit.
Strange to say, Concubine Xi was not annoyed when she saw Concubine Qi rushing to inherit Qian Palace.
On the contrary, his eyes turned slightly, and he said: "In addition, the Yonghe Palace used to be the place where the Empress Dowager lived, so it is also a treasure land."
This alludes to the good Fengshui of the Yonghe Palace.
If anyone lives in it, not to mention being a queen mother, life will not be too bad after all.
"In this case, then I will live in this place." Song Shi, who was promoted to mao concubine, said.
Seeing one by one, they all fell into the trap they had thought up.
Concubine Xi hit her idea again at Concubine Wen who hadn't spoken yet.
After all, only a concubine or above is eligible to be the lord of the first palace.
As long as Concubine Wen is dealt with, the rest of the people are all fine.
"Speaking of which, there is also Jingren Palace, which seems to be good. Over the years, many nobles have lived in it, and the ancestor was born there. If I can live there, I think it will be purple. , maybe even give birth to the emperor's first son after he ascended the throne."
The Meng family, who was promoted to Concubine Wen, was not so easy to fool as others.
