…

When Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, a large number of harem concubines did not follow and basically still lived in the palaces in the Forbidden City.

Yes, there were a large number of concubines in the harem. Compared with other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, this Taojun emperor loved women and had more than 80 famous concubines.

But compared to another Taojun emperor, who was not only lustful but also extremely fertile, Jiajing could be said to have sown extensively but reaped little. During his forty-five years in power, he only gave birth to eight sons and five daughters.

The lifespan of these children was generally short, with most of them dying at the age of one or two. Only three sons and two daughters were left as adults. When Jiajing died, only one son and one daughter were left to die for him.

It’s just a matter of having few heirs. The age of the concubines in the harem was much younger than that of Jiajing, and most of them died before him. If you sort out the chronology of Jiajing’s harem, you will see all the records such as "The Bao family of the palace emperor died, and she was given the title of concubine Yi"

"The palace imperial concubine Chen's family died, and she was given the title of Concubine Jing", "the imperial concubine Wang's family died" and "the concubine Zhao's family died", all died in clusters. By the end of Jiajing's life, more than eighty people had died, and not many of them were left.

In view of the fact that Queen Fang and Concubine Wang Ning were involved in the death of Concubine Cao Duan, unnatural deaths must have occurred, and of course Jiajing was so selfish that he only cared about himself.

Enjoy and reduce the possibility of harem expenses.

In fact, if we go by history, the Ming Dynasty’s most successful palace drama was undoubtedly the Concubine Wan Gui. She was born as a humble palace maid, became a mature lady, and doted on the harem for more than 20 years.

The nameless queen suppressed the two real queens. One was a widow after her newlyweds, and the other was a puppet for her entire life. It can be described as a legend in the harem.

The other one is the Jiajing Harem. Most of the concubines of the Ming Dynasty came from the middle and lower classes, and there was no prominent maternal family power. What was shown was a real palace struggle. Unfortunately, the screenwriter couldn't write it out, and the actors couldn't act it out...

In Chen Hong's impression, there was no palace fighting, and no woman could play tricks in front of the Long Live Lord. However, the goal of his trip to the Forbidden City made him a little embarrassed. It was Princess Chang'an's biological sister, Princess Ning'an Zhu Luyu.

When Concubine Cao Duan died tragically, the little daughter was only three years old, so she was raised by her concubine Shen Guifei.

In history, there was a son and a daughter who died in Jiajing. The son was naturally King Yu, who was later Emperor Longqing, and the daughter was Princess Ning'an. Her lifespan was much longer than that of Longqing, and she lived until the 35th year of Wanli.

He died of illness at the age of eighteen.

Chen Hong didn't know this. After all, he was a ghost now, and he was counting on the eldest princess to survive in the world. If he scared the little princess out, it would be a mistake but no merit.

With this in mind, he drifted all the way to Concubine Shen's palace in the night wind, lingered for a moment, and then cautiously entered.

Compared with the bright lights in Xiyuan, the treatment here is obviously far inferior. Most of the servants have already gone to bed. Concubine Shen who lives in the main house has also rested, but Princess Ning'an has not yet rested.

The fifteen-year-old girl was sitting in front of the eucalyptus, reading a book. There was only one maid serving in the room, and the furnishings were extremely simple.

"This young Highness, his mother died tragically when he was a child. He has a serious personality and does not smile recklessly. Such a peaceful person should be able to... accept ghosts floating in front of him, right?"

Chen Hong walked around twice, but still didn't dare to bet his ghost life. He turned his eyes and landed on the table outside, where there happened to be pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Juan'er, get ready to rest."

Half an hour later, Princess Ning'an finished reading a book, put it down gently, closed her sore eyes, and gave instructions.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The palace maid responded and went to the outside room to prepare to wash up. Just as Princess Ning'an was about to get up, she felt that her eyes were blurred and there was a piece of paper in front of her.

When she saw clearly what was written on it, Princess Ning'an was stunned at first, then stood up abruptly, her eyes were horrified, and she blurted out: "Sister?"

Chen Hongyiqi, who was observing secretly outside the window: "What is this reaction?"

In order not to frighten the little princess, he chose to write step by step.

The content on the first piece of paper was very simple. It was that Princess Chang'an had returned as a deceased soul. She wanted to simply reminisce about the past, but she didn't even expect the other party to believe her.

It is human nature not to believe. After all, the handwriting is different, and he died of illness four years ago. Even when he thought about it, he found it unbelievable. How could the good princess turn into a ghost?

But now Princess Ning'an's expression looks like she believes it, but instead of the joy of the sisters' reunion, she is full of fear?

"hiss!"

Chen Hong stepped forward subconsciously, and suddenly felt a creeping feeling of fear.

In the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts, when he occasionally saw the ghosts wandering past the novice area, he would feel a similar sense of intimidation, but this time it was ten times stronger!

"Sister, run!"

Princess Ning'an also seemed to realize something. She screamed, and a brocade box on the shelf behind her suddenly opened, and a short pestle with golden light flew out. It suddenly aimed outside the house, flew out of the window, and hit her.

puff!

All this happened so fast that Chen Hong had no time to dodge and was hit right in the face.

He let out a silent scream, and his whole body immediately turned into black energy and dispersed. As he watched, his soul was about to disappear, and a line of golden text appeared.

"All karma must have consequences. If you do pure good karma in a lifetime, you should always experience peace and happiness. If you do extremely bad karma in a lifetime, you should always suffer great suffering."

That is the Sanskrit text of the Nirvana Sutra. All the ghosts included in the Hundred Ghosts at Night will invisibly carry this aura.

The golden light on the short pestle touched the Sanskrit words and blended instantly. The light was so bright that it lost the intention of killing and flew back to the box in the house.

The black air lingering outside the house reunited and transformed into Chen Hong, but it was almost invisible. The Governor of Dongchang, who had narrowly escaped death, no longer dared to wait any longer and wished he could roll and crawl outside.

"Is she my sister? If you are free, never come back..."

Princess Ning'an put away the paper on the table, threw herself to the window, looked into the dark night, tears rolling down her face, until the voice of the palace maid Juan'er sounded from behind: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
