Section 902: Couples

Nangong Yulan also said with admiration on her face: "Who said it wasn't, the patriarch has changed so much, the people around him have all run towards our southern wing, and the originally sparsely populated southern wing has suddenly become densely populated." Our Nangong family is now famous. ”

Nangong Yuhuan said worriedly: "This sounds like a good thing, but I'm afraid that the reputation will be too much, and when the time comes, it will be bad to attract the suspicion of the emperor." ”

"Probably not, right?" Nangong Yulan frowned lightly and said, "We are now helping the emperor deal with the mess caused by the Ximen family, why do we still have to be suspicious of us?"

Nangong Yuhuan sighed and said, "Sister, you still don't hear much about this." Here in Nanhua, the emperor has ruled for a long time, and there are basically no problems in the court, unlike Shenzhou, where the emperors have a short lifespan, and there are no dirty things between flies and dogs. ”

Nangong Yulan listened thoughtfully, and knew that what Nangong Yuhuan said was not untargeted, and said softly: "What my sister said also has some truth, I'll take a chance to tell the family." ”

"Then what's going on with the concubine now?" Nangong Yuhuan asked.

"She, she's been angry lately, and she'll be angry with whoever she catches, and she's killed a lot of palace maids below. The palace people were slightly unsatisfactory, and they were flogged to death. If there is a place where you do not want to die, you will do everything possible to cause them suffering. Vinegar is poured into the nose, which is called "acid punishment". Stuffing filth into the mouth is called "stinky punishment". On a hot day, people are roasted on all sides, which is called "steaming bones". After steaming, it was immediately pulled into the ice cellar, and people were stripped naked and lying on the ice, which is called "refining ribs". If you can't drink alcohol, you can force it down, up to a dozen bowls, and you are a "drunkard". Cut the wood and bury it on the ground, the two trees are two feet apart, three feet high, so that the palace maids who have made mistakes stand on it, and use a wood to hold their waists, each hand holds a heavy object, and must not fall, it is called "the punishment of suspense", and all kinds of punishments are like cow hair, and the list is endless. Nangong Yulan said in an atmosphere.

"It's so bad, but does the emperor know?" Nangong Yuhuan asked.

"How could the Emperor know. Nangong Yulan said angrily: "If you know, this is called the concubine's immorality, can the concubine still be good?"

"Didn't anyone secretly sue the emperor?" Nangong Yuhuan was puzzled.

Nangong Yulan sneered and said: "Who dares to sue!? The Ximen family is so majestic, the palace maids below dare to sue her if they don't want to die, not to mention that these palace maids can't even get out of her Wuhua Palace, how can they sue her?"

"It seems that the emperor hasn't been to the Wuhua Palace of the noble concubine for a long time?" asked Nangong Yuhuan.

"Not really, or she wouldn't have such a big temper. Nangong Yulan sighed and said: "But even if the emperor goes to her palace, these people she feels are in the way will be locked up by her or directly disposed of, and she will still not be able to see the emperor after all." ”

"Then, won't there be any concubines who can sue her?" Nangong Yuhuan asked, looking at Yulan.

Nangong Yulan smiled bitterly and said: "These things of ours are also hearsay, even if we know, it has been a long time since the incident happened, how can we sue her without evidence? ”

Nangong Yuhuan was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said for a long time: "Is it possible to let Concubine Ximen be so lawless?"

"Then what do you say?" Nangong Yulan spread her hands, looking helpless.

Nangong Yuhuan gritted his teeth and said: "You go and say, it may be inconvenient, just one day the emperor sees me, and I will tell him." ”

"Oh, my sister, don't do such a stupid thing. Nangong Yulan hurriedly said: "Our Nangong family is already at odds with the Ximen family now, if you say this again, won't it add fuel to the fire, those who know say that you are righteous, and those who don't know think that you mean it." What's more, if you tell me about this, the emperor must think that I am provoking it, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as letting me learn women's science!"

Hearing Nangong Yulan say this, Nangong Yuhuan also said helplessly: "The emperor doesn't know if his brain is pumping or what, he actually asked me to learn gynecology, but he thought of it, and I don't want to be his concubine, what kind of gynecology to study!"

Nangong Yulan glanced at Yuhuan and said, "You don't want to, but the emperor wants to!

Nangong Yuhuan complained: "This gynecology is also wonderful, and the "Law of Jealousy" is even more wonderful, what, mortal women comb their hair in the mirror, and see their husbands and maids flirting from the mirror, so they are angry and scolded, and those who are with their husbands are going to sit and judge, with a rod of seventy, and one and a half years in prison. What, if a woman allows her husband to stay with a concubine, and repeatedly talks about it during the day, and goes deeper, but still makes the concubine do needlework, as if she has forgotten, she intends to sit down and follow the law of official business: twenty flogs, and those who are late to the third watch, plus one class, what, every woman who has not given birth to a child for three or five years, for fear of criticism, ostensibly agrees with her husband to marry a concubine, but secretly confines the concubine in a cold room and does not let her husband meet. It is to be said that the field shall be barren: seventy rods, and one and a half years in vain. And when a woman hears that her relatives or friends are marrying a concubine, she curses her husband and curses herself. It is intended to sit in order to control the law of the market: eighty rods, two years. Also, when a woman goes home to see her father or mother, or goes to a temple to burn incense, she will go with her husband and her concubine. To sit on the abduction of the population law: seventy rods, one and a half years in prison. What's more, mortal women are already senile, and they are still fat and powder, so as to be pampered. It is intended to sit in violation of the law of clothing: fifty flogging, expulsion and exemption. There is still a woman who sees her husband entering the room and whispers to her concubine, that is, under the pretext of official business, she rushes in and scatters. It is intended to sit in order to trespass on the law, and the flogging will be fifty and exempt from confession. There are always wonderful laws that cannot be enumerated one by one. ”

Nangong Yulan smiled bitterly and said, "You now know that it is not easy for us women in the deep palace! The emperor has favored others, not only can we not complain, but we must also clap our hands and praise it." ”

Nangong Yuhuan said angrily: "What kind of laws are these, I think it should be modified to be like this, whenever a man has something to do, he will return home at sunset." If the time limit is not met, the offender will be punished according to the violation of the regulations. If you don't confess, stay in another place, first cane eighty, and then ask if there is any prostitution, and then try to make another plan. Whoever encounters the condemnation of the girl, he must not be angry with the little mustache. Violators will be punished with 80 lashes and a punishable of kneeling with a stick of incense. Whoever gathers with his girlfriends shall not sigh and make all kinds of displeasure. Violators shall be punished with forty rods and one month of sleeping alone according to the rules of the court. If a man has something to do outside, he cannot accompany his boudoir, and he must go to the boudoir several times a day to live. Violators shall be punished with 40 lashes and detained in the inner room for one month. If a lady goes out in trouble, or leaves a maidservant at home and guards the house, he shall not take the opportunity to lure. The offender shall be given the same example of robbing a woman from a good family, plus one class, eighty rods, and a ...... of one month at the outer door of the flail."
