After the court meeting, it was already evening.

In the harem, the Ganqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom. The opposite is the Kunning Palace to the north, which is the queen's bedroom. The two palaces are located in the middle of the six palaces in the east and west, symbolizing the center of the world, the center of heaven and earth, and the center of yin and yang.

Ganqing Palace.

A dinner that belongs only to the royal family is about to be held under the personal arrangement of Queen Doxihun.

Duoxihun is only one year younger than Nikan and is forty-nine years old this year. In recent years, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Nikan. Although they are all yellow-mouthed children, her heart is very stable.

First of all, her eldest son, Dewei, was twenty-five years old. After appointing Princess Buyechuk, Luo Qi, the daughter of Princess Nibchuk, as the crown princess, she had given birth to a grandson and one granddaughter for her. According to his understanding of Nikan since childhood, once Sun Dewei was made the crown prince, he would not be easily replaced until he made too much mistake. Moreover, in order to avoid his brothers gathering in the capital, which may cause disaster, Nikan has sealed them all to a foreign land thousands of miles away.

After Sun Dewei had a son and Nikan had his eldest grandson, his position became more and more stable, not to mention that this grandson was born to the daughter of Nikan's favorite sister Buyechuk.

Secondly, Sun Dewei has his own brother, although he is only nine years old, but he is born by the queen after all. Whether it is Sun Dewei's substitute or his help, it cannot be ignored.

In addition, because Su Tai died early, her son Sun Deding was actually raised by the queen and was now granted the title of South America as a magistrate. Although the magistrate of South America is not as good as Anxi and North America, the governors of two important places under her jurisdiction are Nikan's eldest son-in-law Li Xiaoyan, and that is, the husband of Sun Dezhao, the eldest daughter of Doxihun, and the other is Sun Xiutao and Nikan's cousin. With these two people, South America is actually a great help from the prince.

People who are almost fifty years old are no longer as strong as those who were young as they looked calm on the surface but actually caring about the situation of victory.

She respects Nikan very much and respects her from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, as a very primitive Soren tribe, whether it was Ewenki, Oroqen or Daur, although men and women seemed much more open than in the mainland, women were still subordinate to men. In a nomadic, fishing and hunting tribe, all this was naturally normal, and men could naturally marry more wives and concubines.

Not to mention anything else, Duo Xihui's father, Wu Liji, who is still built in the old father-in-law, has three wives.

But Nikan only married four at the beginning. These four were married for complicated reasons at the time, and they obviously had the color of marriage. Speaking of which, Haerdun was a "children".

Unlike Buyechuk who grew up with him with Nikan since childhood, Doxihun and Haerdun are the daughters of small tribe chiefs. They are illiterate and have no knowledge. Unlike the marriage between the Qing Dynasty and the Korqin tribe, the Korqin chiefs have always been great nobles. Their children have received systematic education since childhood. At this time, Mongolian and Chinese characters must be learned. Due to the Lamaism, if they are more powerful, they can learn more Tibetan language, such as Aruna.

But Doxihun and Haerdun are different. They are just small chiefs, or they do not belong to the chiefs of small tribes of Mongolia or Jurchens. They cannot get a good education, so they can only marry Nikan and be taught by Nikan himself.

Fortunately, although their fathers were both chiefs of small tribes, they also saw that Nikan had a bright future, so they all persuaded their daughter to hurry up and study to avoid losing in the future.

The other three noble concubines, Aruna, Gegentana, and Taisong, are all daughters of the great nobles of the Golden Family. They have received good education since childhood and have a powerful tribe behind them, so naturally their father and brother don’t need to worry about them.

But Nikan is a nostalgic person. When he was on the grassland, he still placed Sauron first, followed by Mongolia, not only based on balance but also on old feelings.

Anyway, he has achieved his goal so far.

The originally large Mongolian tribes are not very prominent in the current Daxia Kingdom. They are replaced by the huge Bogra tribe. According to the tradition of the grassland, in a few decades, there will be no Mongolians, Sorens, and Qiergis in the Bogra tribe, only the Bogra people!

Just like Kazakhs, when you mention it, you know that Kazakhs are now. Who would still say that they are Kriegs? Naimans? Qinzha people? This took more than a hundred years to cause this scene.

This is how the tribe name was passed down.

So, at this moment, the threat to Doshihn, Aruna, the eldest daughter of Tushetukhan, was completely eliminated by the threat to Doshihn, who was originally the most knowledgeable and most generous.

Duo Xihui completely relaxed.

Two large round tables were already set up in the hall. According to the rules, Nikan would have a table with his concubines and his children.

Doshin stood in the middle of the hall and commanded, standing on both sides of her, Haerdun, Aruna, Gegentana, Sutai, and Ahai and Katalina of Xinna.

When Aruna's son Sun Dejing took over the largest Protectorate in the Great Xia Kingdom, and Nikan's previous reliance on her, Aruna's prestige in the harem was second only to Doshihun, and she had surpassed Nikan's cousin Haerdun.

Aruna, Gegentana, Sutai, and Ahai were all Mongolians, so they naturally stood together, while Sauron Haerdon and Portuguese Katalina naturally approached the queen.

Among them is Catalina's loneliest.

In the forest, in the north of the desert, Mongolian can almost communicate with Sauron, because Sauron is actually a Mongolianized Jurchen. Although Ah Hai is also a concubine of Xinna, she is a Mongolian after all, and she communicates with Aruna, Gegentana and Sutai without any obstacles.

As the queen, after decades of experience in the deep palace, Doxihun keenly realized that Nikansinna's white concubine was an object to win over. Therefore, when she found that Katalina was at a loss, she immediately walked over to ask about her well-being and deliberately alienated Ah Hai.

There are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

What a sincere statement!

As a great eunuch, Wang Wenhui and Zhang Wenjun naturally noticed these things keenly. If it were in ordinary harems in the past, it would be natural for the eunuch to collude with a master in the harem.

But in Nikan's empire, none of this is allowed to exist.

Although Nikan did not say anything specifically, as his most trusted eunuch, he was the official in the two important positions of the General Secretary and the Censorate, naturally noticed these things.

If it were in previous dynasties, the newly-entered young concubines had no support in the harem, it would have been very miserable at the beginning, a little outstanding, and it would have been ordinary to be killed by the queen who was in power in minutes.

This is also what Nikan tried hard to avoid.

But he could not do these things in the harem at all times, so the role of lubricant and adhesive fell on the eunuch again.

In addition to the eunuch, Nikan also consciously activated the female officials. The current guards in the harem are female soldiers. Their leader is Sun Defang, the orphan who was rescued by Nikan on Zhifu Island, Nikan's adopted daughter and former leader of the gray guard. But she has long married as a wife and has become Yadan's wife. However, Nikan still did not let her go, and still let her take on the important task of guarding and reconciling the harem.

Of course, besides Sun Defang, there are still several female officials, all of whom are Nikan. Doxihun chose the adopted daughters among the orphans who escaped from the plague on Zhifu Island. Most of them got married. As the emperor and the empress's adopted daughters, they naturally married good families, and they were all in their forties. However, for the sake of the royal family, they insisted on serving in the harem, and they were just taking turns on duty.

It happened to be Sun Defang on duty today, and she also noticed this keenly.

At the same time, Wang Wenhui and Sun Defang were very concerned about their concubine Katarina from faraway Europe, especially Wang Wenhui. Since the incident happened on the train, he felt that the white concubine was very strange. He did not feel offended, but instead thought that this person was innocent and cute.

Faced with the complex environment and relationships, after entering the palace, he was arranged to one of the six Western Palaces. The southwest Palace, which was closest to the emperor's bedroom, was moved to the palace that was renamed "Fengyi Palace" by Nikan. Katalina, who had been a little nervous, was at a loss.

But Ahai, who was also young, didn't think there was anything wrong, because the Mongolians were actually similar to the Han people, and they just changed the palace groups into tents.

"The Emperor is here!"

The little eunuch's sharp voice appeared on the corridor outside the Qianqing Palace.

Nikan, who was walking there, couldn't help frowning after hearing this. Once upon a time, he was very disgusted when he saw this scene on TV, but when this scene really appeared in front of him, he couldn't say anything.

At the door of the main hall was a black eunuch.

Balala, the Chinese name Sun Jinzhong, is a black eunuch who served Pasha, Tunisia, one of the three kingdoms of Barbary. After being kidnapped by European pirates, he stayed on their ship for a while. Later, he learned Latin. Nikan understood Katalina's state of mind and assigned him to her.

"Why are you standing here?"

As for a dark eunuch, Duo Xihui and others were shocked when they saw it. However, because Nikan recognized it and Wang Wenhui personally arranged it, they did not dare to say anything. However, when the royal family banquet was held, it was really hindering to let a black man in the main hall, so Duo Xihui sent him to the door to guard.

As a eunuch who once served Pasha in Tunisia, Balala is very familiar with the environment here. Although these people have changed their faces, the environment is similar. In the past, when they were in the Khan Palace in Tunisia, there were dozens of Pasha's concubines, and the environment there was even more complex.

"hey-hey"

Balala showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"Arranged by the Queen"

Nikan knew it as soon as he heard it, and he frowned, which made Zhang Wenjun, who was following him, know the cause and effect in an instant.

Nikan walked into the hall. At this time, headed by Doxihun, his wives, concubines and children all bowed to him, so naturally they were not kneeling down, but just bent down to show off.

Nikan sat in the main seat facing north and south. According to the rules, the queen would go opposite him. Next, the people would sit in order according to the noble and low status. However, this time, Nikan let the two new concubines sit next to him.

Katalina sat on his left, which was originally Aruna's seat.

"Catalina, do you know? Your brother is married."

As a royal family, Nikan would definitely speak Chinese in the palace, but this time, he chatted with Katarina in Latin for the first time. Doshihun and Haerdun could not understand, but Aruna, who was versatile and extremely smart, known as the smartest princess in the outer Khalkha for more than a hundred years, understood it. She originally knew Han, Mongolian, Jurchen, Turkic, and Tibetan, also learned Latin because of Nikan.

"Yeah?"

Catalina disagreed. His younger brother is the current King of Portugal Alfonso VI. He was paralyzed and crazy since childhood and was not a normal person at all. He said that it was somewhat similar to the previous Ottoman emperor, but the difference was that the previous Ottoman emperor Ibrahim I was in the dark. The crazy harem of Istanbul saved his life by pretending to be crazy. He also had fertility, but Catalina's younger brother Alfonso VI was a real madman, an inhuman madman.

In her mind, the king's seat was actually left to her younger brother Pedro, who was a normal man. He was temporarily suppressed by her mother because he was too young. In fact, her mother had a strong desire for power and wanted to control her crazy paralyzed son to gain power for a while.

"I ordered it to be Elizabeth, the cousin of King Louis XIV of France."

After Nikan finished speaking in Latin, he spoke again in Chinese, so the halo on Katalina was added a little more.

Her mother was a Spanish nobleman, who could influence the royal family to a certain extent, and her sister-in-law was also the cousin of the French king.

And herself, “Katalina’s dowry is all Sri Lanka and Mumbai”

This is not wrong. At this time, Sri Lanka and Mumbai were still in the hands of the Portuguese. Originally, the Great Xia Kingdom had already obtained the port of Colombo from them. Now that Katarina became Nikan's concubine, the entire Sri Lanka and Mumbai were given to the Great Xia Kingdom as dowry.

In original history, Mumbai and Sri Lanka were given to Britain as dowry - Katalina married Charles II.

When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but look up at Katalina, and Nikan's obvious preference undoubtedly established her status.

From that night, Catalina would not be bullied at least in the harem, because the concubines who were familiar with the affairs of European countries knew that there were at least three countries hanging on her body, and there was a large island as a dowry, which was simply too prominent.
