Chapter 1243: Little Biesheng's Newlyweds (Part 2)
Wanli's attitude towards palace ladies was completely different from his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing. Even though he never admitted to giving birth to the eldest son of Concubine Wang Gong, who gave birth to him until his death, he regarded the palace ladies as human beings.
His grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, was a bit too much. He abused the palace people in order to live forever, and then forced them to take medicine, which caused the palace people's menstrual blood to prolong, so that their lives were worse than death. In the end, the palace maid could not stand it anymore, so he strangled his neck with white silk while Jiajing was taking a nap, stretched his tongue straight, and almost strangled him to death. This is the "Renyin Palace Change".
Perhaps due to the influence of this incident, whether it was Wanli's father, Emperor Longqing or himself, he treated the palace maids kindly. Since he ascended the throne, Wanli would order a group of palace maids to be released from the palace every five years.
Before this, if a palace servant wanted to leave the palace, he would have to be at least twenty-seven or eight years old. Judging from the age of entering the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, it usually takes about 15 years to leave the palace.
This age is already considered an "old girl" among the people, and if the palace ladies suppress their diet for a long time, they will suffer from a dysfunctional disease.
Simply put, this disease is deficiency of both qi and blood, and is depressed, and requires long-term consumption of medicine. Although the blood knot can be cured, it requires a lot of money, which is naturally unbearable for ordinary palace maids. These palace maids are not from wealthy families, so if they marry into ordinary families, their husbands will not be able to bear such heavy burdens for them, so half of them will have a miserable fate.
What's more, they were released from the palace only after they were over fifty years old, which made the "food" situation in the palace serious.
Women, their physiological needs are sometimes more serious than men.
Wei Liangchen believed that Wanli could set a system and release a batch in five years was already a rare good policy for the emperor himself. But this was obviously not enough, because there would definitely be differences if it was implemented in detail. The palace maids with savings may get what they wish and enjoy the emperor's virtues. The palace maids without savings may not be qualified to enjoy it. And the stingy emperor of Wanli will definitely not be able to give any subsidies to the palace maids.
Because of the blood dysfunction, most palace maids are not even willing to leave the palace because they know that their fate will be worse than in the palace after leaving the palace.
Most of the older palace maids can only be sent to the washing clothes bureau and will work hard for a lifetime.
The palace ladies of the Washing Clothes Bureau are generally around thirty years old, and the least are twenty-four or five years old. In addition, those who make mistakes or are punished for the sake of things, the number of palace maids is surprisingly large. This is why the Washing Clothes Bureau is not in the imperial city, but is located in Deshengmen - the imperial city cannot be accepted.
The Clothes Washing Bureau is a specialist in washing clothes. Regardless of the cold and heat, the bitter thoughts can also be seen. In terms of darkness, it should be ranked first among the twenty-four prisons. Baba is a good person who is asked to beat Chongzhen to the Clothes Washing Bureau to kill him, and then to Jingletang to burn the corpse and stir up ashes.
Wei Liangchen is a sympathetic person and a kind father-in-law, so he has to personally implement the cooperation plan of the Clothes Washing Bureau to do his best to help rescue those poor palace ladies.
This is pure public heart, without selfishness.
Even though those palace ladies were familiar with each other, Wei Liangchen had no dirty thoughts. He just wanted to help these palace ladies, implement their future life and work, and arrange lifelong events.
It’s not that the palace maids can’t get married, but the wealthy and noble families look down on them, and the poor and poor families can’t afford to support them. But this problem does not exist with Wei Liangchen.
You know, the children in his hometown are all bachelors, and there are many bachelors who are in their thirties.
It is nothing more than money, power, and women to win people's hearts.
The palace ladies in their thirties are a little older, but as long as they are well maintained, they are better than those of the jewellery families, and having children is not a problem.
Such women from the imperial palace are also very attractive to the soldiers of the imperial army.
This is a moral rule. A great moral rule can also be regarded as a way to revitalize the bad assets in the palace for Wanli, which is also the reason why Wanli agreed.
Now, just convince the imperial concubine.
.....
Yikun Palace.
This will be a nap. A few days ago, when I was taking a nap, Wang Yuegan caused a firecracker for the Forbidden Palace, which scared the people in the palace to panic.
It was quite embarrassing for Eunuch Wei to meet the Imperial Concubine at this time and Pang Bao, who had been promoted to the Imperial Palace for the Imperial Palace. He knew that the Imperial was having a lunch break, and was afraid that if he would be scolded if he went to the report, he would be scolded.
But he couldn't resist the favor of Eunuch Wei, so he gave his family another silver ingot. Pang Baosi had to bite the bullet and go in and spread it.
Fortunately, the awakened concubine did not scold him, but ordered Eunuch Wei to enter.
Pang Bao breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to take Eunuch Wei in.
Yikun Palace is a second courtyard. The imperial concubine's dormitory is in the west side hall, and the rest of the time is in the east hall, which is where Wei Liangchen met the imperial concubine last time.

The Xipei Palace said it was a hall, but it was actually a small courtyard. Pang Bao took Wei Liangchen outside the Xipei Palace and returned to the Yikun Palace Gate to continue on duty. There were palace servants here.
"Father-in-law, I'm going to invite you in." The palace maid is a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looks very pretty.
Wei Liangchen nodded, walked into the yard, and went outside the imperial concubine's dormitory and whispered.
"Come in."
The lazily voice of the imperial concubine came from the house. Wei Liangchen hurriedly bent over and entered, but he saw a curtain. There was a vague bed inside the curtain, and the figure of the imperial concubine on the bed was visible.
"I have a rare lunch break. Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"
The Imperial Concubine was woken up while sleeping, and she was angry. She stretched out her waist and stared at the little bastard behind the curtain with an unhappy look on her face. Then she ordered the little palace servant who was standing at the door: "You go out first, I'll ask you to come over again."
"Yes, Empress."
When the little palace maid heard this, she hurriedly stepped back and walked outside the courtyard.
Wei Liangchen stood still, but his eyes turned, knowing that the Imperial Concubine was giving him time to be alone. Unfortunately, no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to do anything here.
"Tell me, what else can I bother with me?" The concubine said as she got out of bed and sat on a chair, which was a recliner.
"Empress, can I come in and talk?"
Wei Liangchen believed that to gain the understanding and support of the Empress, both sides must first get closer and be kinder. Otherwise, if one is inside and the other is outside, this invisible barrier will make it impossible for both sides to communicate happily.
"Are you itchy again? Come in, say something, and get out of here after you finish it."
The imperial concubine said angrily, half-sided, curled her legs together, and this posture made her feel at ease.
