After three points of rain, there will be seven points of dividends.
Just now, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the flowers in the garden were washed away by the drizzle. The dust on their bodies was washed away, revealing their more delicate and beautiful faces, and they were blooming one after another.
Under the sunset, the graceful and stretched leaves are still covered with crystal raindrops. When the raindrops fall, the delicate leaves hang without wind.
The harem in the Forbidden City was originally the most deserted place in the world. The harem was highly hierarchical. Each concubine lived in a separate place, and they were not allowed to be together according to the rules.
But today, the Yalan Hall of Qingning Palace where Concubine Guo Hui lives is very lively. Concubine Hui, who is most relied upon by the emperor in the harem, the biological mothers of several brat princes, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Li, Concubine Ge and others are all there.
Coupled with the accompanying maids, the palace of Nuoda became lively at once.
In his life, Zhu Yuanzhang really achieved power in the world and fell drunk on the knees of beautiful women. Not only did he conquer a Ming Empire, but there were also many beauties in the harem. These concubines sitting here are the prominent ones in the palace, and those who have not given birth have high status.
There are countless concubines, beauties and so on.
The elegant orchid hall was surrounded by a sea of flowers. Concubine Guo Hui was sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea in her hand. She smiled and said to all the concubines, "Long live someone sent a message, saying that she asked me to choose a bride for King Wu."
As he said that, he put down the tea cup in his hand and continued, but I have been in this deep palace all my life. There is no one in my mother's family, and I don't know the foreign officials. I don't know where to choose someone, so I invited my sisters to discuss it.
!
After the words fell, all the princesses were all smiling. This was a happy event. In the past two years, there have been so many sad things in the palace, but now they can finally be happy.
At that moment, King Shen's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, said, "I wonder, what kind of person do you want to find for King Wu?"
Of course he is virtuous! Guo Huifei smiled.
Marry a virtuous wife, this is the tune set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself during the founding period of the People's Republic of China.
This trend continued throughout the Ming Dynasty. The wives of the crown princes were not women of very good family backgrounds. Most of them were of average family backgrounds and were the daughters of minor officials at most.
Firstly, it is to prevent the relatives from becoming monopolistic and powerful. Secondly, to put it bluntly, the eldest young ladies all have a temperamental temperament, and the men of the Zhu family are all straight men.
That's just right! Concubine Zhao covered her mouth and said with a smile, "My natal family has a cousin who has just turned fifteen this year. She is good-looking and neat, has a generous temperament, and is proficient in everything."
What is her father's official position? Guo Huifei asked with a smile.
Think about it, Concubine Zhao, she is the commander of the Military and Horse Division!
Concubine Guo Hui nodded, the military envoy was not a high-ranking official, it fit his status.
Concubine Zhao spoke, and the other concubines also talked about suitable female relatives among their juniors.
All the concubines in the harem could see that the emperor was interested in King Wu. The emperor was old, and now he was getting married to King Wu. Wouldn't that be a good relationship?
Guo Huifei looked at it with a smile and found that Xu Meiren, who had just given birth to a princess to the emperor last year, was sitting on the outside and was silent.
Sister, what are you thinking about? Tell me?
Xu Meiren stood up and asked Fu An. She had the lowest status among those present and some did not dare to speak.
Concubine Guo Huifei said again, "You don't say anything. Do you have something on your mind? Tell me and listen!"
It’s not a matter of concern! Xu Meiren smiled, but the concubine was thinking, His Royal Highness King Wu is on his third trip, and King Huai is on his second trip. Prince Huai’s marriage has not yet been decided, so...
My sister is tired, go back and rest! Concubine Guo suddenly frowned and waved to see her off.
Beauty Xu seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly apologized and left timidly with her head lowered.
In the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing was the direct lineage, followed by the order of elders and young ones. The emperor did not talk about the marriage of King Huai, but first talked about King Wu. Isn't this a lice on the bald man's head? It's obvious.
If you are so blind, no wonder you are just a beauty even if you are beautiful and fragrant.
Guo Huifei looked at Xu Meiren's retreating back and sneered in her heart.
At this time, a palace servant came up and whispered a few words in Guo Huifei's ear, and the latter's sneer suddenly turned into astonishment.
He turned around and said, really? Why?
At this moment, all the princesses looked over in surprise.
Then, the palace man said it again in a voice that only Concubine Guo Hui could hear.
There was no change in Guo Huifei's face, but there was worry in her eyes. Then she stood up and smiled at the concubines around her, "Sisters, it's getting late today, let's go!"
Yes! Everyone stood up and agreed to send the queen off!
Concubine Guo Hui led the palace maids out of the Yalan Hall. After walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Isn't it broken?"
The doctor from Tai Hospital said that the blood was bruised and it would take a few days to recover! The palace lady replied cautiously.
Is there any flower oil that Tubo paid tribute to reduce swelling and remove siltation? Find it and let’s go to the East Palace! Concubine Guo Hui said as she walked, everyone in the palace should keep their mouths shut. No matter what they know, they are not allowed to say it in private.
, discuss in private. Otherwise, I will cut her tongue!
Yes! The palace people responded in unison.
Deep love means deep love. It is not a big deal for elders to spank their children. However, if there are some short-sighted people in the palace, there may be rumors.
Concubine Guo Hui married Zhu Yuanzhang when she was fourteen years old. After a lifetime, she knew his temper all too well. If he was really angry with any of his children, he would not even punish him, but would send him away without mercy and never see him again. Arrangements
A fiefdom is just a vassal.
The King of Wu was beaten for quarreling with the old prince because of political affairs, which further shows that the old prince valued the King of Wu. When the prince was still alive, weren't the two of them often choked because of political affairs?
Just like that, gradually Zhu Yunxi's residence in the East Palace, Ruixiang Pavilion, arrived.
Concubine Guo Hui is the oldest concubine in the palace, and she is a biological sister with a different surname from the late empress. Even when the prince was alive, he would always call her concubine. Naturally, no one would dare to stop her from coming to the East Palace.

It was getting late, and Huang Gou'er silently added a lamp to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang was paying close attention to the memorials in various places. When he saw the lights coming, he said without raising his head, "Go, add lights and water to our eldest grandson, and he will read..."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused. He looked towards the table where Zhu Yunxi studied every day and saw it was empty. Deep regret suddenly appeared on his face.
At that moment, I couldn't stand the book anymore and just looked over there.
Today's attack is heavy. Young people are smart. Sometimes they think wrong or go too far. It's normal. You can just do your grandfather's education, why do you let others take the blame?
Besides, although what the eldest grandson said was a bit crooked, the starting point was good and the idea was not bad. At least no one in the civil and military circles in the dynasty could think of it, not even his sons and grandsons.
The eldest son is smart. At his age, he still wants to pray for alms all over the world.
The old man's mood is like this, always worrying about gains and losses.
The hall was empty, without Zhu Yunxi's sincere laughter in the past, and his heart felt empty. Thinking of the child's swollen butt again, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer sit still.
I threw away the book in my hand, stood up, and walked to the East Palace to have a look!
Your Majesty rises...
Before Huang Gou'er could say the word "drive", he was immediately kicked by Zhu Yuanzhang and chopped directly on his thigh.
What are you doing? Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Who is showing that score at home? How can so many people show it to others in the middle of the night?"
The old emperor was moody, and Huang Gou'er didn't dare to be angry or speak out. He got up, endured the pain, and ordered the palace people to clear the way.
Zhu Yuanzhang held his hands behind his back and walked very fast. The cloth shoes he was holding were splashing on the stone slabs after the rain.
Soon after, Ruixiang Pavilion of the East Palace arrived.
Several palace officials wanted to kneel down and salute, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him. He walked softly to the illuminated Zhu Yunxi door and heard voices coming from inside.
Brother Xi, your grandpa has a bad temper, so don’t feel aggrieved!
It was Concubine Guo Hui's voice. She was heard continuing to say in the room. Back then, when your grandfather was not the emperor, none of your uncles, including your father, had ever been beaten!
Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed some anger and a bit of embarrassment. At this time, Guo Huifei said in front of the juniors that she had done something wrong in the past.
Your grandpa the emperor once said that a child will not be effective if he is not beaten. He will not be obedient if he is not beaten. He will have to be kicked a few times every now and then to become a good person. Your grandpa the emperor asked someone to beat you. That is because he has you in his heart. He can't see it.
Those who are above are not shy about beating them!
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a smile again, and it was obvious that Guo Huifei's words had entered his heart.
Madam, how could Xi'er feel wronged? Grandpa Huang hit me for my own good, because he didn't want to see me playing tricks and going astray. Zhu Yunxi's voice in the room was a little weak, which made Zhu Yuanzhang look distressed on his face.
The emperor's grandfather beat me for my own good. There is a saying among the people, beating is for kissing, scolding is for love, and if you don't love me enough, you kick me. Only when the emperor loves me does he hit me. You understand this truth!
In the room, Concubine Guo laughed.
Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed silently, thinking in his mind, is there such a saying among the people?
The grandson is now worried whether his recklessness today will make Grandpa Huang angry! Zhu Yunxi’s voice is a little low, and I don’t know if he has eaten now? We didn’t eat well outside in the afternoon! Hey, Grandpa Huang
There are countless memorials to read every day, and at this time every day, I am busy reviewing memorials on the imperial court.
It's okay that Xi'er is there, and it can remind him to get up and move around. But now he is alone in Fengtian Hall with no one to talk to. Xi'er is unfilial, really unfilial!
My eldest grandson was beaten, but he was still thinking about me, an old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sudden warmth surge in his heart, and he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he reached out and pushed open the door.

This was not how concubines were selected in the Ming Dynasty. They were also drafted women, and they were more cruel. The plot here is made up by me and is not historically accurate.
