Sheng Yuan has recently been busy with the provincial examination qualification test. The results of this subject examination are related to whether he is qualified to enter the provincial examination examination room, and it is even more related to whether he can directly participate in the practical assessment after returning from the study tour.
So, the little girl, who had just been relaxed for a few months, started studying hard all night again.
Of course, even if she kept her hands on the book, Sheng Yuan, a little girl who loved life, still noticed the difference between her family and her elder sister.
Every time during the break, her sister would have a heart-to-heart talk with her and analyze the responsibilities and powers of various positions in the imperial court. Sheng Yuan summarized the central idea of this series of conversations as: If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern.
Every time during afternoon tea, my mother would talk to her about the topic of self-examination three times a day.
Sheng Yuan refined the central idea of this series of chats into: one can jump as high as one’s ability.
After every martial arts practice, her father would explain to her in the form of stories various elements of official career such as the operation of officialdom, relationships with colleagues, and ideal actions.
In this regard, Sheng Yuan’s central idea in telling these stories is summarized as: the various flexible uses of IQ and EQ in officialdom.
This lasted until the eve of the qualification test. After sorting out her stationery, Sheng Yuan suddenly realized: It turns out that her father, mother, and sister were giving her psychological counseling!
Touched, Sheng Yuan sniffed, stroking her round chin and wondering, could there be something unusual about her behavior?
【no problem! From body to mind, you are healthy! 】After the system quickly scanned it, he patted his chest and assured Shengyuan, "You are the same as when you were a child. I have never seen such a strong girl!" 】
"..." Sheng Yuan felt that this guy's words were not appropriate enough.
Forget it, generous girls don’t care about this!
Sheng Yuan, who believed that caring about her family would lead to chaos, happily let go of these entanglements and prepared for another big test.
The results of this subject test came out very quickly. Only six days after the test, the results were posted.
As expected, Sheng Yuan still won the first place.
After receiving the qualification for the provincial examination, Sheng Yuan was overjoyed and began to look forward to her study tour.
While she was happily waiting for her study tour, the results of the draft finally came out.
The three imperial edicts were like three thunders, frightening the people involved to the point of splitting their legs.
First, Emperor Jinghe married the nine-year-old eldest daughter of the current Duke An to the third prince as his concubine.
This order, which was somewhat illegal to some extent, not only caught the third prince off guard, but also everyone in Duke Anguo's palace was stunned.
After the Duke An's mansion was stunned, the second imperial edict was directed at the Duke Sheng's mansion.
Sheng Han, a girl from the Sheng family who had been raised in the palace, was named Mrs. Zhuo Wen and was given a residence in Yuanxuan Pavilion in the middle garden of the palace.
The two Sheng Guogongs were dumbfounded after receiving the imperial edict. It took a long time for the father and son to figure out what kind of position this was.
Madam, this harem hierarchy was established when the Yan Dynasty was first established, and it only existed for two or three generations. By the time of Emperor Yan Wen, the hierarchy of concubines had changed.
To compare with the current harem, the wife should be equivalent to the current concubine.
"Now that the level of the harem has not changed, my son is thinking that this lady's position will not be very high." The current Sheng Guo Gong Sheng Xiangya shook his head, "Normally, the imperial edict should clearly state the rank, but the edict's words are simple... ...My son thinks it’s better not to get too happy too early, it’s better to let the third child go to the palace to ask.”
Old Duke Sheng squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "I remember that during the Qianchen period, there was a lady in the harem?"
Sheng Xiangya's expression became even worse when he heard this, just because the lady from that country sounded nice to her, but in reality, she was the sixth level among the twelve-level beauties, just one level higher than the talented ones. .
Up there are Jieyu, Zhaorong, Zhaoyi, Fei, and Guifei.
It sounds like entering the palace for the first time is not a low-level position, but only Zhaoyi and above can hold the position of lord of the first palace.
"The Emperor has given the Sixth Lady Yuanxuan Pavilion... This should be regarded as the head of the first palace, right?"
Sheng Xiangya was unsure.
Old Duke Sheng snorted angrily: "Since ancient times, the concubine has taken over the inner garden of the palace, but the sixth sister was pushed to the central garden. Tell me, what kind of concubine is she?"
Sheng Xiangya was a little uneasy.
What does the emperor mean by this? !
"I will let the third child inquire, but... just be prepared to abandon the sixth sister! Just let your daughter-in-law enter the palace later, and give her enough money to support her for the rest of her life."
Old Duke Sheng opened his eyes. His cold eyes and cold expression made Sheng Xiangya feel chilly: "The foundation of Duke Sheng's palace is not in the harem nor in the relatives. The Six Sisters are all different. I'm afraid it's the emperor's warning." . Duke Sheng Guo is determined not to fall into the royal turmoil."
Sheng Xiangya nodded and said yes, but in his heart he planned to find his third brother to ask the reason someday.
Although it wasn't that his child didn't feel distressed, he still had to know the reason.
…
Emperor Jinghe issued two imperial edicts in a row, which stunned two of the only three old nobles who had been passed down from the Yan Dynasty to the present. Suddenly, everyone in Kyoto focused their attention on Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Then, the third imperial edict headed towards the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
Everyone:? ? ?
Sheng Xiangxun:! ! !
He's yelling not to come over now...does it still work? !
The third imperial edict was Emperor Jinghe's order to marry Shu Yajing, the second daughter of Shancheng Chief Shu Mu, to the fourth prince Jiang Yuxun as his concubine.
An imperial edict to marry a concubine was originally a bit ordinary and should not attract many people's attention.
However, Emperor Jinghe not only gave concubines to the fourth prince this time, but also to the emperor's eldest son, Prince Qi Jiang Yulin, and the third prince Jiang Yuming.
It's just that the orders of these two princes' concubines were handed over to the concubines' natal families by the Ministry of Rites, and there was no words in the imperial edict to "announce it to all the envoys in the world."
Therefore, we cannot help but make people think more.
Of course, everyone speculated that the third prince might have fallen out of favor with the emperor.
The reason is also very simple. The third prince's princess was not selected from a show girl, but directly selected a nine-year-old girl. This seemed very different.
The fourth prince, who is also the concubine of Xianna, did not choose a princess for him in this draft. However, the emperor made it clear that the fourth prince's princess would be selected from the next generation of show girls.
If the fourth prince can wait, why can't the third prince wait? The two brothers are only three years apart. Why are the treatments so different?
Looking at the prince who was also given to his concubine, the eldest son of the emperor adopted the former prince as his heir early, which meant that he had no right to inherit the throne.
If you think about it carefully, the third prince and the eldest son are treated the same... What does this mean?
Of course, if we take a closer look at the life experiences of the two princes’ concubines, the eldest son’s second concubine comes from the Earl’s Palace, while the third prince’s second concubine is the granddaughter of Yuan Wai Lang!
Although this Yuanwailang once served as the first assistant to the late emperor, he is now a Yuanwailang. If he really wants to be more serious, the treatment of the third prince is not as good as that of the eldest son!
Could it be that... the third prince was also eliminated? !
Just as the dignitaries in the capital were secretly speculating, Emperor Jinghe came to Huaning Palace.
