On the other side, while Concubine Chen was planning how to win the position of adoptive mother to the sixth prince, Li Yunxi was carried out of Fengming Palace by the emperor and returned to Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is the emperor's bedroom. The emperor lives in the main hall, the eunuchs and maids live in the east and west side halls, and a nest of maids living in the back hall.
In the Daqian harem, excluding the empress, the seventh-rank Baolin and below, there is no limit to the number of Jin concubines. Among them, the first-rank imperial concubine to the sixth-rank concubine, there are a total of seventy-two people. Therefore, the emperor cannot arbitrarily canonize concubines in the harem. Concubine.
Today, Yongde Emperor Li Chengyuan's harem of seventy-two concubines has just reached forty-eight. However, he is only in his prime and will definitely be drafted in the future. Naturally, he does not dare to canonize concubines in the harem.
Therefore, there are also a group of beautiful but nameless palace maids in the back hall of Longque Palace.
The mother of the six princes, Concubine Yu was promoted to the heaven through this, and she was canonized as one of the four concubines of the second rank. The maids in the Longque Palace also all aimed at Concubine Yu.
But who would have thought that when the emperor came back from the queen's palace, earth-shaking changes took place.
In the back hall of the Dragon Palace, the nun in charge received the emperor's oral order. Liu Lin, the godson of Wu Mao, the eunuch in charge of the Dragon Palace, came to announce the emperor's oral order.
"...From now on, the maids serving in the Longque Palace will be abolished..."
All of a sudden, all the maids in the back hall were alarmed. One of them had a beautiful face and a moon face, and she was also the maid often summoned by the emperor in the past, Yuzhi.
At this time, his face was pale, but he cheered up and asked.
"Eunuch Liu, may I ask why Your Majesty wants to abolish us?"
The harem always downplays those who are inferior and favors those who are superior. If other palace maids came to ask Liu Lin, he would raise his neck and be indifferent.
But this young master is indeed the young master of Longque Palace who is known to have great fortunes in the future. Liu Lin also wanted to form a good relationship, so he leaned forward and said.
"Your Majesty ordered the Sixth Prince to be raised in the back hall of the Dragon Palace. Naturally, all of you young masters will also want to move the palace."
After hearing this, Yuzhi smiled bitterly. With such a reason, how can people dare to feel grievances? It seems that the abolition of palace maids is unstoppable.
"Then your Majesty, can you explain where we should go?" Yuzhi said with great expectation.
Upon seeing this, Liu Lin glanced at the maids in the chamber opposite who looked expectant, desperate, or aggrieved, put on airs, and spoke in a long tone.
"His Majesty has issued a decree that all the young masters who have slept with him will be given the title of "lower-class dresser", a total of 18 people. The rest will be sent back to the Internal Affairs Supervisor to wait to be assigned to work in various palaces and courtyards.
As soon as these words came out, the ladies in the palace were immediately divided into two factions.
You know, the chambermaids have always lived in the back hall of Longque Palace. They don't have to do anything on weekdays. They are served by the little eunuchs and the little palace ladies. They only need to wait for His Majesty's call. They are better than the ordinary Wu Chong who agrees and changes clothes. Life will be a little better.
But now, a wave of people have become dressing masters, and a wave of people have been sent back to the internal affairs supervisors, and will be assigned to work in various palaces in the future. The extremely different treatment undoubtedly caused chaos in the back hall of Longque Palace for a while.
Fortunately, Liu Lin was not a vegetarian. He brought many eunuchs, aunts, and people from the internal affairs supervisor. He quickly brought back the maids who had never slept with him, and then took the dressing masters around the yard in twos and threes. Lock them up and wait for the Queen to distribute the dressing people to the inner courtyards of each Queen's palace.
This commotion was huge, but the sixth prince Li Yunxi, the source of the incident, had no idea that this was the controversy in the harem caused by him.
At this moment, he just felt that his emperor father was a really special dog.
He has such a bad temper, as if he is mentally ill.
After taking him back to the main hall of Longque Palace, I fell in love with him so much that I hugged him and kept talking.
"Ancestors, remember to protect my son from growing up safely. The unfilial son Li Chengyuan has worked hard in recent years and dare not betray the inheritance entrusted by his ancestors. However, there has been no heir for a long time, and now, only one Lin'er is obtained. But that Zhang Bi But the old dog said that my son would not survive more than three days, which really worried me. The queen said that my dragon energy could protect the dragon son, but I have been childless all year round and can't even protect myself, so how can I protect my son? Ancestors, all I hope you have spirits in heaven to protect my son and grow up safely."
The emperor's worries and expectations for him came from the bottom of his heart. No one could tell that he was an irresponsible good father.
But not long after saying these words, he threw him into the arms of eunuch Wu Mao.
"Nanny, are you ready?"
"Your Majesty, the Internal Affairs Supervisor has already made preparations. A total of eight wet nurses will take good care of our little prince."
"Well, that's good. From now on, we will keep him in the back hall and let the nanny take care of him." Li Chengyuan said calmly.
Wu Mao was stunned for a moment, then hugged the Sixth Prince, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is a maid who lives in the back hall of Longque Palace."
The emperor frowned and said in a cold tone.
"Do you need me to remind you? Those who have slept with you will be promoted to dressing, and the Queen will arrange it; those who have not slept with you will be sent back to the Internal Affairs Supervisor, and I will teach you."
"This slave takes the order."
"Okay, you choose a wet nurse first, leave the child here, and deal with the affairs of the apse." The emperor said impatiently.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, not long after, Li Yunxi found that he was being hugged by someone else.
His emperor father looked at him with a complicated expression and muttered.
"Can this child really be raised alive? If it is true, as Zhang Bi said, that he will not live for three days, wouldn't I be greatly disappointed?"
Li Yunxi:......
Listen, is this human talk? Is this something a father can say?
Not to mention him, there were people on the barrage even yelling at him.
[Ah, is there something wrong with this emperor’s mind? 】
[You just have a son, why don’t you look forward to having a son? 】
[That is, what does it mean to be disappointed if he cannot survive for three days? 】
[Shouldn’t we worry about our children’s health? 】
[Hey, ancient emperors were so ruthless. 】
[The emperor is so indifferent. 】
[Fortunately, the owner of Up has nutrient solution. Drinking one bottle every day can extend your life for another day. 】
[Reward 13 bottles of nutrient solution. 】
…
Li Yunxi didn't know that it wasn't that the emperor didn't love him, but that the emperor didn't dare to love him.
The emperor was over forty years old and had thirteen daughters still alive. And he was the sixth prince, so how could he not have any other sons?
But it's because the other sons are dead.
The eldest prince and the third prince were both the daughter of the emperor's cousin, Concubine Chen, the second prince was the daughter of the empress of the main palace, the fourth prince was the daughter of Concubine He, and the fifth prince was the son of Concubine Xian, one of the four ladies.
However, the eldest prince died of smallpox three days after the second prince was born. Concubine Chen always suspected that the queen was responsible and hated him deeply. As for her second son, the third prince, his health and bones were not good right after he was born, and he died within half a month.
As for the second prince born by the queen, he died of cold when he was two years old. However, because the window was wide open the next day and the maid on night duty claimed that she had closed the window before, someone must have killed the prince and driven the queen crazy. It was suspected that it was the harem. Concubine Chen, who had always been at odds with her, was the most suspicious of the concubine's actions.
The fourth prince was the longest living prince among the princes. He grew up to be eight years old, but he drowned in the imperial garden, which made Concubine He heartbroken. From then on, he locked the palace door, ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name, and never left Chuxiu Palace.
The mother of the fifth prince, a virtuous concubine, was born prematurely because she mistakenly ate something cold at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet. Therefore, I had been in poor health since I was born, and passed away after the full moon.
The emperor's five princes all died young. This shouldn't be a preface, but the emperor had no children. For him, although he didn't dare to express his feelings, the dead son was also his son, and it was also very important.
Bearing the pressure from the clan members, he named all his sons, arranged them in order, and put them on the royal jade certificate.
Li Yunxi didn't know that he was actually named by the emperor early on, and had the same name as him in his previous life.
However, Yun and Xi in his previous life were chosen by his parents after watching the TV series and thought the names of the protagonists sounded good.
The emperor named Yunhexi, one word for his royal generation, and one word for the emperor's expectations for him, Xi, Guangye. It is the emperor who hopes that he will become the sun of the world in the future, shining brightly.
