In the main hall of Qixiang Palace, Xibi had a droopy face and was trembling with anger.
She had been prepared for the concubine Wei's move to the palace.
After all, the Changchun Palace began renovations in July.
Zhang Concubine had already moved to Chuxiu Palace first, and the only one who didn't have a separate room in the palace was Wei Concubine.
Just move it, Xi Bin didn't take it too seriously.
In the past ten years, she and Wei concubine have been on the same page.
I am older in qualifications, but there is no need to be anxious and pale when Concubine Wei gives birth to a prince.
With the concubines and the noble Guarja gone, we can just move from the side hall to the back hall.
Nowadays, the Guarjia family is gaining momentum. As long as a prince or daughter is born, she will be the second concubine.
But in the end, he was unlucky and entered the palace too late.
Can I still go to Chengqian Palace?
Since I can't go, I can only continue to live in Qixiang Palace, which is still a hot spot.
However, she was young and had given birth to Princess and Brother. The emperor might not trust her to raise them. It was possible that she, the head of the first palace, could be the adoptive mother.
By then, I will also have an elder brother and a princess in my name.
I never expected that today, people from the Ministry of Rites would go to the back hall as well as the back hall!
The Guarjia family not only moved to Changchun Palace with the concubine Wei, but also learned etiquette from people from the Ministry of Rites.
This Qixiang Palace may become a cold palace in the future...

Yikun Palace, main hall, west room.
The card table has been set up, and Concubine Yi, Chen Guiren, Concubine Gao, and Peilan have already played half a circle of mahjong.
Concubine Gao is a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She is beautiful and has the same age as Guarjia. She is only seventeen years old this year.
Unlike the noble king, the concubine Gao did not pretend to be a Han woman and entered the palace directly as a Han woman.
Her father was a talented scholar from Jiangnan who was famous for his calligraphy, but he had no career.
This time the Holy Emperor visited the south and summoned this great Confucian. He was also given the title of Confucian Scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he was declined.
Concubine Hui has a gentle temperament, while Concubine Yi has a broad-minded temperament.
It's just that now there are several concubines in the Yanxi Palace, but there are still many empty spaces in the Yikun Palace. The emperor placed Gao Concubine in the Yikun Palace.
In terms of appearance, the concubine Gao was no worse than the noble Gualja, otherwise she would not have been brought back to the capital by the emperor.
It's just that she was shy and taciturn. After returning to the palace, she became quiet and didn't attract much attention.
Concubine Yi loves beauty, and she pities her young age, so she is very kind.
Over time, Concubine Gao became Concubine Yi's partner just like Chen Guiren.
It's just that three of them are short of one, and it's not beautiful after all, so I asked Peilan to make up the number.
"Wow..."
It was Concubine Yi who messed up her cards again and glared at Peilan across from her, saying: "I'm not interested in giving cards! It's no longer interesting. I didn't eat the last two cakes, and they continued to fight, so I beat them all." …”
Peilan said aggrievedly: "It's really not about giving cards. I just cut off one door, and I can't keep the cake after grabbing it."
Concubine Yi hummed and said, "Look, it's like being a partner with the two of us, just to make money for them..."
Chen Guiren sat on the left side of Concubine Yi and said with a smile: "Today, the empress sat on the throne of the God of Wealth, and the money just passed by!"
Concubine Gao sat on the right, also smiling with her lips pursed.
Concubine Yi pushed the cards and said: "Okay, let's stop fighting among ourselves. When Zhang Bin comes over in a few days, let's fight again..."
Peilan stood up, led others to collect the cards, and brought out fruit plates and tea.
Chen Guiren said: "My Lady, when will the congratulatory gift from Madam Zhang Bin be delivered?"
Concubine Yi thought for a while and said: "If you want to register the sixteen-line ceremony, let's do it that day or the next day. Let's see what happens in Yanxi Palace..."
At this point, she spread her hands and said: "What a big loss. I gave a congratulatory gift when I was appointed concubine. This time, I have to give another gift..."
Chen Guiren smiled and said: "This slave is in good hands. I just received rewards from two concubines in the first month."
This is about the concubines who had children in the first month of the year.
Concubine Gao sat with her and did not interrupt.
This kind of human relationship between the harem and the imperial concubines is also divided into levels.
Only nobles and above are qualified to offer congratulatory gifts from concubines.
Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Gao, and just sighed in her heart that it was bad luck, and she happened to run into the Guarjia family.
They are both the same age and both have pretty faces, but compared to the dull beauty, Jie Yuhua is more lovely...

The next day was September 15th, the day for greetings from Ningshou Palace.
Shu Shu sent Zhou Song to Jiu Gege's office in Ningshou Palace yesterday and told Jiu Gege that he was going to sit there this morning.
Therefore, when her chariot arrived, Jiu Gege had prepared tea and cakes and was waiting.
Hearing that Shu Shu had arrived, Jiu Gege also came out to welcome him.
Seeing the shoulder chariot, she was a little stunned, and with concern, she took two steps forward, helped Shu Shu down personally, and said: "Sister-in-law Ninth is ill, so why don't you ask for leave? Grandma and great-aunt will be considerate..."
Shu Shu squeezed her hand and smiled without saying a word.
When Jiugege saw this, he was a little confused.
When she got into the house, she said with a smile: "It's not that you are sick, but that you are happy. Your Ninth Brother was so worried that he had to prepare a chariot. I was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so I thought of coming to my sister's place for a while. Zhida went to the front to say hello, and then came back to take the chariot back..."
Jiu Gege looked at her waist and abdomen, and said cautiously: "Are you tired, Sister-in-law Jiu? Is it okay to walk there like this?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "How many steps has it taken? You haven't shown your pregnancy yet, so you're not tired."
Jiu Gege hurriedly ordered people, "Remove the tea and replace it with honey water."
Shu Shu said: "It's all fine, it's okay, there are no taboos yet."
As she said this, she remembered that the gift had not yet been given, and looked at the walnut.
Today, Walnut and Xiaosong followed.
Walnut holds a brocade parcel in his hands.
Shu Shu motioned her to come forward, took the package, opened it, and found a brocade box inside, and said, "This is a birthday gift prepared for my sister. Do you like it?"
Jiu Gege took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Jiu."
Shu Shu urged: "Have a look..."
When the nine-grid box was opened, there was a diamond inside, with a row of the Chinese character "福" inlaid with gold and red coral.
The color is very bright and the workmanship is exquisite. It looks like a red flower from a distance, but only when you look up close can you see the words clearly.
Jiu Gege saw it and said: "It's so exquisite..."
As she said this, she blushed.
Women can wear it only when they are married, and they can only wear it after marriage.
She couldn't help it anymore, glared at Shu Shu, and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law Ninth is a bad example of Brother Ninth, and she also loves to tease people!"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's not your fault, Ninth Brother, it's all my fault for being stingy. I was hesitant at that time whether I should make a flower crown for you, but then I thought about it. You can only wear the little girl's style for one year, and it will be the bottom of the box." , it’s better to give this as a gift, it’s more affordable…”
Jiu Gege asked someone to take it away carefully, looked at Shu Shu's belly and said, "Then just take it, sister, and prepare a good one for my nephew later."
Shu Shu calculated the time for her delivery and confinement, and said: "I don't know when my sister's wedding will be..."
Hopefully, if it's the second half of the year or the first half of the year, she won't be able to catch up.
Jiu Gege endured her shyness and said: "It should be after my birthday next year. Our queen mentioned it a few days ago, saying that Khan Ama said it once."
After her birthday next year, Jiu Gege will be eighteen.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Congratulations, sister, I will prepare two gifts at this time next year."
Most of the time passed by while my aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and joking.
Shu Shu brought her pocket watch, and when she saw Chen Zheng at three o'clock, she stood up and said, "I'll go greet our empress..."
Jiu Gege said worriedly: "Maybe I haven't seen my concubine for a long time, so I went over to say hello."
The aunt and sister-in-law came out from Gege's House and waited in front of Ningshou Palace.
At this time, the palace concubines who came to pay their respects had almost arrived, and it was quiet in the front.
The sister-in-law had just stood there for a while when Concubine Yi came over in a chariot, accompanied by Wu Fujin and Chen Guiren, and followed by other palace officials.
Jiu Gege came forward to say hello, and Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu looks better and better. Today, Sister-in-law Jiu, I'll ask you to take care of her."
Jiu Gege hurriedly said: "You're welcome."
Wu Fujin had already held Shu Shu's hand and said, "Congratulations, your wish has come true..."
Seeing that her eyes were sincere and not hazy at all, Shu Shu shook her hand back and whispered: "While it's still not cold, Fifth Sister-in-law and Fifth Brother should also go to Hongluo Temple. It's working."
She is not an idealistic person.
The reason for this kind of persuasion is also because of the name "seeking a son".
With the same ambition, the couple must share a room, right?
The more you go back and forth, the more likely you are to win.
Otherwise, Wu Fujin is not a proactive person. The fifth elder brother is a prince and has his own arrogance.
The couple were polite and polite, so others naturally became considerate.
Wu Fujin nodded slightly and said: "Thank you, brother and sister, I will discuss it with Master Wu..."
After the couple finished chatting, they stood behind Concubine Yi and followed Concubine Yi into Ningshou Palace.
In addition to those people who greeted me last time, there were also Sanfujin.
Sanfujin was already pregnant and sat on the round stool behind Concubine Rong.
She entered the palace like this, probably to pay tribute to the eldest princess.
There is also an extra stool behind Concubine Yi's seat.
When Sifujin saw it, he knew what he was doing and smiled kindly at Shushu.
Shu Shu smiled back at Si Fujin and looked down, just in time to see San Fujin looking at her belly.
The seat next to Concubine Yi was Concubine Rong, so Shu Shu and San Fujin were right next to each other.
San Fujin whispered: "How long has it been? How come the outside world doesn't know?"
Shu Shu also whispered: "It's less than three months, I won't let you say..."
Sanfujin nodded and said, "My concubine is considerate."
This is not the place to talk, so we stopped after just a few words of greeting.
San Fujin was already looking at the last seat.
To the east is still the Wei concubine, and to the west is the Zhang concubine.
The nobleman Guarja doesn't have a seat yet, but he has been given the first place among the noblemen.
Everyone looked at this person more or less.
There is a difference between a nobleman and a concubine.
Guarjia was calm and generous, with a calm face.
If you really want to talk about it, among the Manchu concubines in the harem, except Concubine Tong, this one is of high birth, and she does have the arrogance of a noble lady.
The fourth concubine is fine. She is here at this age and her children are older than Guarjia. She just smiles warmly. Who would put down his wealth to compete with the young concubines?
Concubine Tong's smile was a little forced.
She had already received the news, and the Ministry of Rites sent people to Qixiang Palace and Chuxiu Palace.
Didn’t come to Jingren Palace!
The emperor asked people to move the palace, but did not seal the title. Is it just to move the palace?
Wei Concubine still looked docile, but Zhang Concubine, on the other hand, saw that she was truly happy, and the smile on her face became even brighter...
