Chapter 24 Color Silk Garden

As the head of an empire, there are undoubtedly many rules, including high-altitude items such as kites or Kongming lanterns. This is to prevent people from using such objects to convey messages outside the palace. Generally, palace maids and eunuchs will strictly abide by it. Only those newly-entered girls do not understand the rules or do not take this palace rule too seriously will they make mistakes.

Seeing the emperor playing with the falling kite, an eunuch ran over with a pale face, knelt down and kowtowed: "Emperor, I deserve to die. I don't know which servant is worried about the emperor. I will find out immediately and give him a heavy punishment."

This eunuch is over thirty years old, with his surname Zhao and his name is Nian. He is the eunuch in the palace and is responsible for the management of the new girl. If the emperor is angry, he will be the first one to be unlucky.

"No need, just follow their wishes." Yang Yong said lightly. For these beautiful girls, I'm afraid that they can be carefree during this period of time. In a few months, no matter their status, they will be subject to strict palace rules. If the entire palace is dead, what happiness can he be as an emperor? Yang Yong sighed in his heart.

"Yes, I obey the order."

Zhao Nian breathed a sigh of relief and retreated. If it were a jass in the small family, they would naturally be trembling when entering the palace. However, the newly promoted girls with no outstanding family backgrounds, such as the daughter of Duke Shen Li Hun, the daughter of General Wei Wensheng, the daughter of Minister of Rites Wei Yi, etc. Whether it is family background or possible forces in the future, such a beautiful girl Zhao Nian is not only unable to manage, but also has to find ways to curry favor with her. Maybe in a short time they will become the emperor's official concubines and become the lord of the palace. If this kite is sold by such a noble girl, it will not be possible to find out the punishment, nor will it not be possible to not punish, and they can only be in a dilemma.

Yun Meier smiled at the corner of her mouth, obviously knowing why the emperor was indulging in these beautiful women. The jealousy just now disappeared. She was the concubine second only to the queen. Her son was very likely to be the crown prince. So what if these beautiful women were young, why should she be jealous of mere beautiful women?

I spent about an hour walking around the Imperial Garden with Yun Meier. After using lunch together, Yang Yong returned to the study and wrote several memorials. He felt a chaotic feeling in his heart. He looked up and glanced at it casually. He put the kite he picked up in the morning on the table. He reached out and picked up the kite again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the kite was exquisitely made.

Uncontrollably, Yang Yong became interested in the owner of this kite. What kind of skillful hands does the girl who stabbed such a vivid flower and bird? Is the kite in the morning unintentional or intentional? If it just deliberately attracts his own attention, he is undoubtedly a bold and smart girl.

"Come."

"What are the emperor's instructions?" An eunuch flashed in.

"Go and call Zhao Nian over."

"Yes, I obey the order."

The eunuch lowered his head and stepped back. After a while, Zhao Nian tiptoed in and couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw the kite on the emperor's table.

"So I will meet the emperor."

"Well, no gift, dog, why are you laughing at?" Yang Yong glared, knowing that Zhao Nian must have had some dirty thoughts in his heart, and warned him.

"Go back to the emperor, I am wronged." Zhao Nian shouted that he was wronged. Although he was an internal official, he had not read many poems and books. He was just smart and good at guessing people's hearts. This is also the reason why he was able to become an eunuch in his thirties. Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, he naturally became presumptuous.

The eunuchs were distorted. As a later generation, Yang Yong naturally knew the harm of eunuchs. However, unless Yang Yong was willing to cut off his own power, the palace could not be separated from eunuchs. Yang Yong could only minimize the number and power of eunuchs. However, compared to normal people, eunuchs are undoubtedly pitiful people. For their welfare, Yang Yong has strengthened several times since he ascended the throne.

"Forget it, I ask you, how many beautiful girls are entering the palace now?"

"There are already 1,120 emperors. If the beautiful ladies from various prefectures arrive, there will be more than 3,700 in total." Zhao Nian knew how to advance and retreat, and answered quite formally.

The saying of 3,000 beauties in the harem is not in vain. In fact, if all the palace maids are included, there are more than one dynasty and dynasty in the palace and harem. As for the Ming Dynasty, the number of palace maids expanded to more than one hundred thousand.

"One thousand and one hundred people, they all live in the Caisiyuan?"

This is pure nonsense, and the emperor naturally knew the beautiful girl’s residence. Zhao Nian replied seriously: “Return to the emperor, that’s exactly what it means.”

There were 1,100 people. Although they had not passed the last level of selection, they were at least as good as being a master. Yang Yong suddenly had the idea of ​​going to the Caisiyuan to take a look: "Well, I want to change my clothes, go to the Caisiyuan to take a look, how about it?"

According to the etiquette system, after entering the palace, the Xiu Nu did not go through the last level of selection. The emperor could not meet Xiu Nu, but the emperor was the biggest in the world. Zhao Nian was obviously not a loyal minister who could persuade the emperor. Instead, he showed a flattering smile: "It is natural for the emperor to go to Caisiyuan. I will guide the emperor."

Yang Yong changed his clothes and secretly headed towards Caisiyuan with Zhao Nian. Caisiyuan lived in all the new girls. In order to prevent the girls who were not familiar with the palace rules from breaking the rules in the palace, even though it was the palace inner courtyard, there were still several guards, and all the guards were eunuchs in the palace.

Although Yang Yong is the emperor, it doesn't matter even if he is discovered, but his face is not glorious. Along the way, Zhao Nian first transferred the guard's eunuch in front, and then Yang Yong hid in from behind. After a while, the three guards were like nothing, and Yang Yong successfully entered the Caisiyuan.

As soon as he entered the Color Silk Garden, the girl's chirping sound came into his ears and went in the direction of the sound. Yang Yong saw hundreds of girls with flower skills standing on a flat ground. These girls were in groups of three or five, but they were very close to each other, as if they were about to hold some event.

Because the queen has always been responsible for the draft, Yang Yong knew nothing about the rules, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are they doing?"

"When you go back to the emperor, they probably want to accept the guidance of the nannies." Zhao Nian replied.

These beautiful girls will undoubtedly have advantages when entering the palace first. Firstly, they will receive many teachings of palace etiquette. This is very beneficial to passing the last selection. This selection will determine the level of their status in the palace.

In addition to the empress being unique in the palace, there are four ladies with the following: Nine concubines, Jieyu, beauty, and talented people; Baolin, Yu Nu and Cai Nu were 27.

Now, except for the queen and wife, the rest of the seats in the palace are all empty. Those who are interested in competing for favor in the palace will naturally stare at those positions. Even if they get the lowest status of a pick-up girl, they are ten times better than ordinary palace maids.

Sure enough, with dozens of palace maids over 40 coming, these girls in groups immediately separated, and as the older palace maids commanded, a circle of big or small was formed.

With the hiding of the trees, Yang Yong approached the girls who were receiving teaching, and a long-lost sense of excitement surged in his heart. This feeling was undoubtedly a feeling of voyeurism. These girls were all young and lively. What disappointed Yang Yong was that although most girls looked pretty, they were just very beautiful but not one.

"Why, are the beautiful girls in the palace like this?" Yang Yong couldn't hide his disappointment in his tone. If he returned to twenty years old, Yang Yong might think that the more women, the better. But now when it is really time for women to be inexhaustible, his eyes will undoubtedly be demanding.

"Your Majesty, this is just an ordinary girl. The truly beautiful girl has to go to the inner courtyard."

"Why, oh, I understand." Yang Yong just thought about it and realized that the status of the beautiful women at present had begun to be divided into different levels. These eunuchs and nannies who were temporarily managed were also human beings. The outstanding and prominent women with prominent families would naturally receive more care so that they would remember their current favors after they became successful. Those who can only receive training in the outer courtyard may have been treated as ordinary palace maids.

Zhao Nian led the way forward and walked forward secretly. Yang Yong came to the inner courtyard without any danger. The inner courtyard was much quieter than the outer courtyard, and the number of people was much smaller. The Color Silk Courtyard was separated by a wall from the Imperial Flower Courtyard. In fact, there were many flowers, plants and trees inside, and they were still flowing on the rockery. Yang Yong hid behind a rockery behind Zhao Nian and swept his eyes to the beautiful girl around him.

The girls in the inner courtyard seemed much more free than the girls in the outer courtyard. Yang Yong had seen some people playing with keys, ropes, swings, etc., and he watched more than ten people, and most of these girls were in good looks.

Just as Yang Yong was enjoying his eyes, a yellow oriole-like voice rang behind him: "Hmph, what are you doing here?"

This voice scared the king and minister who were peeping. Yang Yong turned around and saw a girl sixteen or seventeen years old in light green clothes standing behind them. The girl's melon-shaped face and willow-leaf eyebrows were very outstanding in any aspect, but her chest was undulating at this time, and she was obviously very angry.
