Song Yunzhao explained the current living arrangements in the various palace residences to Feng Yi. This was something Feng Yi was genuinely unaware of, as he almost never concerned himself with the affairs of the harem.
Previously, the three concubines were in charge. Later, the responsibility was handed to Yun Zhao, but in reality, she still had the three concubines manage things.
The factions in the palace were now clearly defined. Qingyan Palace, Lin Hua Palace, and Qingyun Palace were mostly occupied by concubines Feng Yi had no memory of. These women were either losers from the power struggles when the three concubines first entered the palace, or they were women who had entered with Yun Zhao and failed to make any waves.
In short, the concubines of these three palaces were basically living a life of retirement—raising dogs, teasing birds, and strolling through the gardens.
