16. The Middle Palace

Inner Court, Changchun Palace.

The eunuch Zhao Jinzhong, the eunuch in charge, half-beared, smiled, and walked in neatly.

He swept through the door a pair of words: "Everything is like spring in the phoenix, and eight directions turn into Hongjun." This is the couplet written by the emperor himself, and all the profound meanings are all in it.

This is the bedroom of the Queen Fucha.

After the former Emperor Yongzheng changed the Yangxin Palace to his bedroom and no longer lived in the Ganqing Palace, the empress also moved out of Kunning Palace. In this dynasty, the Changchun Palace was the seat of the central palace.

Zhao Jinzhong politely invited Su Chun, the official woman beside the queen, to return to the queen, and then he carefully knelt down in front of the queen to pay his respects.

Fu Cha quickly swung his handkerchief and helped him: "Anda, please get up quickly."

Zhao Jinzhong was the old man the emperor served when he was in the secret residence of Chonghua Palace. He has been serving the emperor and the empress for many years, and the empress was very respectful. The empress smiled and said softly: "If the emperor hadn't repeatedly emphasized the eunuch's rules in the palace, I wouldn't have dared to accept An Da's kneeling."

Zhao Jinzhong was helped up by Su Chun, bowed and smiled, "Master, Empress, killed the old slave. This is the duty of a slave, so Master, Empress, is at ease."

Fu Cha nodded and smiled: "An Da is here, but what is the emperor's will?"

Zhao Jinzhong bowed and replied, "It's the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Accounting Department of the Inner Government created the list of the three flags to be selected according to the days, and handed over to the old slave to ask the master and the empress to show his master. Before the old slave could report to the emperor, he came to Changchun Palace to disturb the empress and ask the empress to show his advice."

The draft, especially the inner three flags, is mainly to select palace ladies for the palace, which is more like the home affairs and should be hosted by the queen.

Fu Cha nodded: "According to the meaning of this palace, there is no need to introduce it this year. There is no shortage of official women used in the palace lords. It is better to avoid this year's example and choose them together next year."

The selection of the three inner banners is hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is selected every year. This is a regular order, but it may not be implemented as per year. As long as there is no shortage of each palace and there is no shortage of manpower in the palace, there will be temporary exemption.

Zhao Jinzhong was not surprised and bowed and smiled: "Master Empress is the most respectful. This year, she will not be introduced by the beautiful girl, so she will naturally save some money for the inner government."

Fu Cha supported the velvet flowers on his temples and smiled with his head down: "There is nothing to do in the front harem, and everything will be done. If it is activated, it will cost a lot of money. The emperor takes the people of the court as his concern and has a lot of things to do every day. How dare this palace not help the emperor take care of some family expenses?"

Zhao Jinzhong nodded and said yes, but pondered for a moment.

Fu Cha glanced at Su Chun and said slowly: "Anda has something to say, so why not just say it."

Zhao Jinzhong hurriedly knelt down again: "Old slave naturally dare not to violate the wishes of his master. But there was indeed a shortage in the palace this year, so I dare not refuse to report it."

"Oh?" Fu Cha raised his jaw dignifiedly: "Which palace is there? Which one is the main position?"

"When I go back to the Empress, there is a woman named Wuniu under the throne of Empress Xian. Because of eye disease, she couldn't see things clearly, so she was told by Empress Xian to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send it out."

Fu Cha thought a little, raised his hand and stroked his temples again. She pointed to the armor of plain silver rice beads, and the ripples slid across the blue silk like clouds.

"Which five girls?"
