Chapter 1089 Harem Level
Song Yun and his friends had dinner with Shen Xia these past two days.
It just so happened that Song Yun, Song Ming and the others had already arrived.
And there is Xiaowu.
Shen Xia asked her three children and their mother to stay in a palace not far from her.
Knowing that Shen Xia and the Princess were busy, they stayed in their own palaces.
At dinner, only Song Jiang, Song Ming, Song Yun and Xiao Wu were there.
Plus Shen Xia and the other three.
The palace has not been arranged yet, and the Song brothers live in one palace.
Ling Heng and Li Yi both lived in the same palace.
But Gu Zizhan’s palace was confirmed, and it was the palace where the former queen lived.
And Shen Xia will ascend the throne in three days.
Now we have to start arranging the palace.
So it just so happened that Shen Xia happened to see the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today.
Saw a few people.
How to divide it?
These palaces are divided into different distances. If she were to divide them herself, they would definitely feel a little disappointed.
Just as the meal was about to start, Li Yi and Ling Heng also came over.
Shen Xia invited them to sit down: "That's great, come on, sit down and eat together."
They have been working hard recently.
Shen Xia was next to the eldest princess, and on the right was Gu Zizhan.
We all lived in the Princess' Mansion before, and it was not as big as this one, so we were a little uncomfortable.
Now living in the palace.
Gu Zizhan has already moved into the original Kunning Palace.
The wedding and coronation ceremonies were held together.
So everyone knows that Gu Zizhan is the lord, and of course this is also the eldest princess's hope.
As for the future candidate for crown prince.
Even Gu Zizhan doesn’t know.
The eldest princess only told Shen Xia.
After meal.
Shen Xia looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone is here, have you made any arrangements about which palace you will live in? Of course, you can also live outside the palace, that's fine."
Everyone looked at each other.
Ling Heng said directly: "I want to live in the palace. The Jinyang Palace is good."
Shen Xia: Of course it’s good! Apart from Gu Zizhan’s palace, this palace is the closest to Shen Xia’s Qianqing Palace.
Song Yun also said: "I live in the palace too, so I can go to court closer."
In fact, Song Yun was still struggling at the beginning. After Shen Xia ascended the throne, would he have to live only in the harem and not be able to participate in the trivial affairs of the court officials?
But Shen Xia didn't.
He is still working in the previous dynasty.
Shen Xia is not stupid.
No matter what, he is her bedmate, so she still believes him.
What's more, you can do what you want.
Isn't it always more reliable to have them do things than outsiders?
She doesn't believe that. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
Not to mention that he is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if Gu Zizhan wants the throne one day, Shen Xia can give it to him.
She can go out and enjoy the scenery.
As long as her life was not in danger, she didn't care about the throne at all.
Shen Xia looked at everyone and said, "Everyone wants to live in the palace. Some palaces are far away, some are near. How about this? You draw lots."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was stunned.
Gu Zizhan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Yuan'er is really someone who knows how to evade responsibility.
This kind of thing depends on luck, it all depends on yourself.
But because of this, it can be seen that they are all the same.
Only I am different.
Shen Xia thought that there would be no additions to the harem in the future, so she picked out the palaces closest to hers.
Then let them draw lots, and he would not blame any of them.
It's just so clever.
The eldest princess watched from the side and had no objection.
Looking at Gu Zizhan: "Zizhan, come with me."
Shen Xia thought that her mother must have something to do with Zizhan.
"Go ahead!" Shen Xia.
"Okay." Gu Zizhan.
The eldest princess and Gu Zizhan left.
They were the only ones left in the hall.
Shen Xia called the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Then look at the layout of the palace.
Shen Xia looked at them, there were seven of them in total, and chose the seven palaces at the back.
Then ask people to write their names on bamboo sticks.
The chief steward of the inner court, Steward Qin, was also stunned when he heard the new emperor's arrangements.
Never heard of anything like this.
It's really surprising.
After writing, let everyone draw.
Shen Xia thought about the fact that his third brother was not around.
Only the last one can belong to the third brother.
With this method of drawing lots, even the last one is not necessarily the worst.
Everyone looked at the bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube.
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at Shen Xia.
It means who draws first.
Shen Xia looked at the eldest brother in the first position on the right: "Let's go over from the eldest brother's side one by one!"
"Yes."
The eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs held a tray and said, "General Song, please have a drink."
Song He took out one: "Chaoyang Palace."
Then I looked at the location on the layout map. Chaoyang Palace is in the middle, neither front nor back.
Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: Not bad.
Song Yun happened to be next to Song Jiang.
Next, it was Song Yun’s turn to draw: Huayi Palace.
The two palaces are next to each other.
Then comes Song and Ming: Jinyang Palace.
Song Ming looked at the three words "Jinyang Palace" and the corners of his mouth curled up.
What a stroke of luck.
It’s a little far from Yaohua Palace, but not much.
Ling Heng: Yongshou Palace. Not far from here.
Song Yu’s is: Yuqiong Palace.
Finally, the only one left is Huaqing Palace, which belongs to Song Jin. It has a good location as it is the closest palace besides Jinyang Palace.
In fact, the differences between the palaces are not that great.
After all, it's walking, and the walking time is still long.
Because there are fewer people, one person can live in one palace. If it were the previous dynasty, one palace would be divided into the main hall and the east and west palaces.
Several masters live together.
Shen Xia looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has finished their division. Whatever you like, let Manager Qin make adjustments."
At this time Ling Heng said: "I don't like this name."
Shen Xia: "Then what do you like?"
Ling Heng thought for a moment: "Xingchen Palace."
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs just watched quietly. This Master Ling was indeed the most handsome one.
It seems that you are very favored by the emperor. You should be more careful in the future.
Shen Xia nodded: As long as you don't make a fuss, it's all a small matter.
It's just a change of name, not a change of palace.
Then he looked at Chief Steward Qin and said, "Change the name to Xingchen Palace."
Shen Xia looked at the others: "What about you guys!"
Li Yidao said: "Can the word 'Yao' in my Yaohua Palace be changed to 'Yaohua Palace'?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay."
Turning to look at Manager Qin, he asked, "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, sir." Well, this is also a favor from the master.
Shen Xia looked at the others: "What about you guys!"
In the end, no one had any opinion.
As a result, Manager Qin said: "Your Majesty, where is the title?"
Shen Xia was stunned: It’s so troublesome.
Shen Xia looked at everyone.
Then he looked at Manager Qin and asked, "What are the levels?"
Steward Qin took out a note and said, "There is a queen, of the first rank, of the same rank as the empress, who is in the center of the palace, holds the phoenix seal, and manages the harem. Then there is the first rank imperial noble, who is equivalent to the vice queen, and is only needed when there is no queen."
"Next is the first-rank Feng Jun, the second-rank Wen Jun, the second-rank Jun, the third-rank Ce Jun, the third-rank Shao Qing, the fourth-rank Zhao Hua, also known as Jiu Jun, and the fourth-rank Shi Jun..."
Shen Xia was stunned, and said, "Wait...how many grades are there in total?"
Steward Qin looked at the bottom and said, "The lowest rank is the same as the officials of the previous dynasty, the eighth rank."
Shen Xia: It’s too complicated.
Seeing everyone looking at him: "This is too troublesome..."
