Chapter 340 Consort Fucha
Time flies, and the six concubines that Hongchang had previously chosen all arrived three months after the Emperor and Empress's wedding.
They all entered the palace, and the first time they paid their respects to Empress Liang Wanyi...
Hongchang deliberately left court early and went to Kunning Palace.
Speak directly to the six concubines
"I hope that you will behave yourselves after entering the palace."
Do not harbor any improper thoughts. The Empress was personally appointed by me.
You should respect her and not think that the Empress is the daughter of a Han official.
He relied on his status, disrespected the Empress, and disregarded palace rules.
The Empress is the head of the harem. You must wholeheartedly assist the Empress and work together to manage the affairs of the harem.
Within the imperial harem, one must not form cliques, be jealous of others, or secretly plot against them.
"If anyone dares to disobey, I will not let them off lightly, and may even punish their entire family."
Hongchang's words angered those who looked down on Liang Wanyi, the Han Empress.
He was startled, then quickly composed himself.
She was afraid that Hongchang would discover her feelings.
Consort Hesheli Wanqing had a good relationship with Liang Wanyi before the selection of concubines.
Although she was initially surprised that Liang Wanyi had become the Empress.
But she quickly realized that, apart from being the daughter of a Han official, Wanyi...
She was gentle and talented, and the Emperor strongly advocated for unity between the Manchus and Han people.
That's why Wanyi was specifically chosen as empress, rather than any other woman.
Wanyi is still the best.
Hesheli Wanqing stepped forward first and bowed to Liang Wanyi, saying:
"Your Majesty and Empress will follow your teachings."
"I will certainly be obedient and devoted to assisting Her Majesty the Empress in managing the harem."
Seeing this, the other five concubines, no matter how many thoughts they harbored, dared not reveal them at this moment.
At this point, they all stepped forward.
He bowed to Liang Wanyi, indicating that he would abide by palace rules and respect the Empress.
Seeing this, Liang Wanyi was delighted that Hongchang had come to support her.
After giving the six concubines a dressing down, Hongchang left.
Special space was left for Liang Wanyi to demonstrate her skills.
The Emperor departed
Liang Wanyi asked the six concubines to sit down.
Liang Wanyi looked at the six concubines and said with a smile:
"Sisters, don't be shy. From now on, we'll all be in the same palace, so we're all family. You can speak your mind freely."
The concubines all nodded in agreement.
Next, Liang Wanyi began to introduce them to the various rules and affairs of the imperial harem.
The six concubines listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, which Liang Wanyi answered patiently.
After Hongchang's reprimand, the six concubines listened obediently as Liang Wanyi explained the rules.
There are also some taboos and preferences of the two empress dowagers and the emperor.
After saying all that, Liang Wanyi continued...
"What talents do the younger sisters enjoy in their youth? They can continue to practice them in the palace later."
If you have any good works, feel free to share them.
This can both cultivate one's character and enhance the relationship between each other.
Although our harem is a deep and secluded place, there's no need for us to scheme and fight every day.
As long as everyone works together to maintain harmony in the harem,
The Emperor can then focus on governing the country, and we can live a peaceful life.”
Hearing Liang Wanyi's words, the six concubines all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
They originally thought the new queen would be like the other queens,
She immediately established her authority, but to everyone's surprise, Liang Wanyi was so gentle and even encouraged them to showcase their talents.
This made them feel more favorably toward the new queen.
Consort Shu, Hesheli Wanqing, spoke first:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I also believe that we sisters in the harem should get along harmoniously."
Together we will share the Emperor's burdens.
"I am skilled in painting, and if I create any good works in the future, I will certainly share them with my sisters."
Liang Wanyi said again
"The late Emperor's Consort Jing and others all have their own affairs outside the palace."
Some of them helped out at the *Daqing Baixing Bao* (a local newspaper).
Some became teachers in girls' schools.
Some even manage thousands of female workers in textile factories.
If you have any ideas, you can also tell me.
"I can make arrangements as the situation warrants at that time."
As soon as Liang Wanyi finished speaking, all the concubines showed surprise.
