Chapter 151: Bathing
"Yes, the concubine will be remembered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "The queen's admonition, Min Changzai should also be immediately, very cooperative with the queen's mother.
The queen mother only said a few words, and the next palace rules were the grandmothers beside the queen mother. Mama said a lot, some of which she said when teaching etiquette, but Mama didn't seem to be at ease and still said it again.
In fact, to put it more carefully, what Mama said, Mama will basically say it, but these rules are different from the previous teaching. The rules at this time can be described as a lesson to those who are new to the palace.
After a long time, even Ye Siwei was a little tired from standing, not to mention these pampered ladies at home. Some of the little masters also secretly moved their legs, although they were unhappy in their hearts, but on their faces, they never showed anything.
When Mama's rules were finally finished, many little masters breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. With the rules out of the way, they probably don't have to stand here all the time.
"Have you all memorized these rules?" asked the queen mother soon after Mama's voice fell.
"Remembered, remembered. "Although Min Chang has moved his feet before. But when the queen spoke up at this time, Min Changzai didn't see any tiredness, and he was also in good spirits when he spoke.
"Then you will repeat the rules that Mama just said. However, after Min Chang said this, the queen mother laughed.
When this sentence was said, not only Min Chang was here, but everyone here couldn't help but be stunned. Let's not talk about whether Min Changzai paid attention to the rules that this grandmother said, even if Min Changzai really listened carefully, it was impossible to completely repeat so many rules.
But the others were thinking that if Min Changzai was asked to repeat it again, they would have to stand for such a long time.
"Hongu is joking, you don't have to be nervous. Seeing everyone's expressions like this, the queen mother covered her mouth and smiled.
"The rules in this palace, as the little master of the harem, how can I not be clear. "Regardless of whether the queen is joking or not, no one dares to speak out at this time. However, there are exceptions, and Concubine Shu did not dare at all, and laughed out loud: "Although the queen mother is just joking, Min Changzai's reaction shows that she is not familiar with this rule. ”
"According to Concubine Shu's meaning, what should I do?" Concubine Shu interjected, but the queen did not appear to be angry, and looked at Concubine Shu at this time, with a smile in her eyes.
"What's the meaning of the concubines, the affairs of the harem are all decided by the queen. It's just that the concubines feel that the rules in the palace have to be taught. Concubine Shu was also smiling, but she didn't fall for the queen at all.
"Indeed, the rules of the palace have to be taught. According to the palace, the matter of teaching the rules will be left to the concubine. The affairs of the palace are busy, and this teaching and learning matter can't be managed for a while. "However, Concubine Shu was not fooled, it does not mean that the queen will stop there," this matter will be troubled by Concubine Shu, if there are not enough people, this palace can provide manpower here. ”
"This ......" Concubine Shu looked embarrassed, obviously not wanting the queen's orders next.
"Then it was decided. Since Concubine Shu has this proposal, the matter will be left to Concubine Shu. Without waiting for Concubine Shu to answer, the Queen Mother had already handed over this matter to Concubine Shu.
It is not a good errand to teach you the rules of entering the palace and the rules of the little main palace. Even if Concubine Shu is a concubine, even if she doesn't care if these little lords will be offended because of this, it is not a good thing to inexplicably establish some hostile people in the harem. Besides, ants can still shake big trees, let alone these little masters who are not simple in the first place?
"Today, I was going to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, but the Queen Mother was unwell. Wait for two days, you come again, and the palace will take you to greet the Queen Mother. After deciding on the matter of teaching, the queen's eyes immediately fell on the little masters.
"Yes. "After such a long time, the little masters have already recovered from the previous shock. No matter what arrangements the queen makes, they have no right to refute it, they can only accept it.
"Greetings from now on, and I don't come every day. On the fifteenth day of the new year, the solar term or the day of celebration in the palace, you must come to the palace to say goodbye, and other than that, you are free to do as you please. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, Ye Siwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. Today, because of the incident of coming to ask for peace, she was woken up before dawn, if it was like this every day, Ye Siwei felt that there was no way to live this day. What's more, this greeting is probably just a morning, and I still listen to the admonition almost all the time.
Fortunately, it is only an occasional thing to ask for peace, so in this way, Ye Siwei doesn't feel anything more like such a grand treatment. Just think of the day when you want to ask for peace, as if there is an exam arrangement. It's only two times a month, and the patience is over.
After the queen said a few more words, she finally let the dozen or so young masters who had just entered the palace who had been standing for a long time sit back. Finally sat down, and the little masters finally breathed a sigh of relief. The feet that were sore before have finally been relieved.
"Concubine Chen didn't come again, and her body still hasn't improved?" The rest of the time was basically chatting. However, this chat is mostly between the queen and the third concubine, where do others dare to answer at will.
"When did she get better? It's just that she didn't come this time, and she didn't even inform the queen mother, so she was too unscrupulous. When the queen mentioned Concubine Chen, Concubine Jing, who had been silent, finally said it out loud.
"It's okay, this palace has allowed her, if she is unwell, she doesn't have to come to say goodbye. Concubine Jing's words, the queen mother did not take it to heart. For Concubine Chen, the queen doesn't even seem to have any intention of care.
The queen and the third concubine talked for a while, and seeing that the morning was about to pass, the queen finally let everyone leave.
When I left the Queen's palace, the sun was high, and there was still the coolness of the morning in the air. The air seemed to be roasted, and it was hot and disturbing.
However, it was only a short walk from the main hall to the palace gate, and his underwear was already soaked with sweat. Fortunately, although the ancient makeup is not waterproof, even if it is sweaty, there is no makeup.
Everyone came out of the queen's palace, and as the pressure brought by the previous concubines dissipated, all of them looked much lighter, and they also talked to each other. There are even people who are on the same road, and they will be invited to leave together.
After Ye Siwei came out, she didn't talk to anyone, but hurriedly walked towards the palace gate. First, it was to prevent Concubine Hui from coming out for a while, so she would inevitably have to talk. Second, it is talking under such a big sun, Ye Siwei is unwilling to do such a foolish behavior.
Caifu and the sedan chair were waiting outside the palace gate, Ye Siwei didn't say a word after she came out, and went directly to the sedan chair. Although you don't have to walk the rest of the journey by yourself, the four open chariots can't block the sunlight. This made Ye Siwei very dissatisfied with the ancient tools. It's just that multiple canopies can be much more comfortable, so why didn't you think of it?
However, not long after he walked out, Chun Xie took out an oil-paper umbrella out of nowhere and blocked it above Ye Siwei's head. In this way, Ye Siwei felt more comfortable.
"Give me the umbrella, and I hold it myself. Ye Siwei was carried on the sedan chair, Chunxie and Caifu were walking aside, and Chunxie had to raise her hands high if she wanted to hold an umbrella for Ye Siwei. If you do this all the way, I'm afraid that if you go back to Jinseju, Chunxie's hand will definitely be sore.
In Caifu's surprised gaze on the side, Ye Siwei snatched the oil-paper umbrella from Chunxie's hand and held it herself.
"Little master, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Chun Xie was still in a daze, and only then did he react, wanting to take back the oil-paper umbrella, but he didn't dare to compete with Ye Siwei, so he could only persuade helplessly.
"There's something out of the ordinary, and I'm holding an umbrella myself to keep the sun out completely. Ye Siwei did not hand over the oil-paper umbrella to Chunxie, and the reason she said was not the reason for thinking about Chunxie at the beginning.
Even if it is, if it is spoken, it is a good way to win hearts and minds. However, Ye Siwei did not do this. As a modern person, Ye Siwei's concept of not holding her own umbrella has become a manifestation of non-compliance. There are many ways to win people's hearts, but Ye Siwei is unwilling to use such methods to win people's hearts because of class inequality.
"Little Master ......" Looking at Ye Siwei's persistence, Chunxie couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Ye Siwei didn't make a sound, Caifu on the side, her eyes always scanned the two of them, and the surprise in her eyes still didn't fade.
However, I have to say that the little eunuch in charge of carrying the sedan chair in the palace was very well trained, and he walked forward without squinting from beginning to end, and did not have any changes in his expression because of these things, as if he did not notice these things happening.
Back to Jinseju, although there is an oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun, the way back is not to walk on both feet, but still sweating.
After the little master went out, the old slave went to Yaohua Palace, and Concubine Hui also went to the queen's palace. Those little palace maids couldn't be the masters, but fortunately they met Mama Zhou. Mama Zhou heard that the little master wanted a recipe, so she gave the recipe without saying a word. Seeing Ye Siwei come back, Mama Li, who was busy, hurriedly ran out.
"What time is it?" The cool and broken recipe, Ye Siwei had only mentioned it before, whether it was really coming or not, Ye Siwei didn't care so much.
"It's two o'clock, and it's still some time before noon. When Mama Li saw Ye Siwei asking the time, she thought that Ye Siwei was thinking about the emperor coming over for dinner at noon, "Although the emperor said that he came at noon, he didn't say the specific time, and if he was busy, the emperor would come later." ”
"Mama, let's get busy first. Ye Siwei nodded and turned to the Chun Xie on the side, "Chun Xue, you call the autumn love, go boil some hot water, I want to bathe." ”
Chunxie immediately responded, but Mama Li was still stunned here, looking at Ye Siwei's eyes full of doubts. After all, Ye Siwei didn't take a bath until she got up early, but she was screaming to bathe at this time.
"Mama, is there anything else?" In the courtyard, although there are trees to shade it, it does not bring much coolness. Ye Siwei was about to return to the dormitory after giving these instructions, but when she saw Mama Li's expression, she stopped and asked.
"Is the little lord mistaken? Only when you receive the emperor at night, you need to burn incense and bathe, not every time. The emperor just came for lunch, took a break at noon, and had to approve the folds, and he wouldn't ......" Mama Li said hesitantly, and halfway through the words, she broke off abruptly.
"It was hot and stuffy, and I was sweating. Even if I don't need to meet the emperor today, I will bathe and change my clothes. "Ye Siwei didn't understand what Mama Li meant, but I was afraid that Mama Li would still think that Ye Siwei was in a hurry to go to bed at this time. Regardless of whether Mama Li would believe it or not, Ye Siwei still explained.
Boiling water for bathing, changing clothes and dressing up is another toss-up, and it is also time-consuming. And the arrival of the emperor was earlier than Ye Siwei expected. Even if the emperor came on time at noon, there would be at least half an hour, that is, an hour. Ye Siwei thinks that the time should be in time.
However, the emperor had not yet arrived at noon, but at three o'clock in the morning, he had already arrived at Jinseju. Although there are rumors outside, Ye Siwei is still soaked in the barrel, where can she get up.
"Where's your little master, haven't you come back yet?" the emperor walked into the courtyard and glanced at the people kneeling in the courtyard, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
came at noon today, although the time was a little early, but after all, Ye Siwei was informed a day earlier. Moreover, the emperor came after receiving the news that the queen's office had been dispersed, but he didn't see Ye Siwei greeting him.
Although Chunxie also heard the rumor, Ye Siwei was still bathing, and she didn't let people wait beside her, so Chunxie could only stay at the door of the dormitory. Although no one should break in casually, they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid of what happens, so even if they know that the emperor is coming, Chunxie does not leave.
"Back to Your Majesty, the little lord is ...... Bathing. "In the courtyard, the only person who can speak is Mama Li. Although she was apprehensive, Mama Li still told the truth.
The emperor's complexion did not change much, but a complex light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
With the emperor's silence, everyone kneeling in the courtyard was extremely worried in their hearts, not knowing what would happen next. If the emperor is angry, turns around and leaves, everyone will even feel relaxed. But if the emperor vented his anger on them, the people who are kneeling here now will inevitably be punished.
These people would think so, it's not that the emperor really has ever done such a thing. It's that these people have never seen the emperor, and the emperor is the person who controls their life and death, and these people's fear of the emperor makes them subconsciously think about things in the worst direction.
