Since the Zhou Dynasty, the winter solstice has been an important festival. The Zhou calendar takes November as the first year of the year, the winter solstice is the first day of the year, the Son of Heaven needs to worship the God of Haotian in the mound, and the ceremony is very grand.
Before the formulation of the Taichu calendar, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the first October of the year is also in winter, and the winter is also the New Year, after the use of the Taichu calendar, the winter is no longer the first day of the year, but the so-called "winter solstice yang Qi rises, the monarch is long, so he congratulates", therefore, the winter solstice should be like the first day, into the wine and food, and congratulate the old man.
In the Han system, around the winter solstice, the gentleman is quiet, the officials are desperate, they do not listen to the government, and they choose auspicious days and then save trouble.
Although the Son of Heaven is young and cannot personally perform the rituals to worship the heavens, everything needs to be decided by Huo Guang, but on the day of the winter solstice, on weekdays, Huo Guang still rested according to the system and left the palace and returned home.
In the past few years, the affairs of the whole country have been pressed on Huo Guang, and the Son of Heaven is growing, and the government and the opposition have a few restlessness, which makes Huo Guangri feel tired, and his body is becoming less and less than before, therefore, if it is not necessary, Huo Guang takes a car in and out, although it is not solemn, but after all, it is a lot more comfortable to shelter from the wind and the sun.
Although it was the winter solstice, since he was just going home, Huo Guang did not use the general's ceremonial drive, and still instructed his retainers to prepare the chariot. However, as soon as he came out of Beique, Huo Guang saw Feng Zidu standing next to a lacquered chariot with copper ornaments, and his face suddenly sank.
"General, it was Madame who insisted on coming." Feng Zidu has always been favored by Huo Guang, so he is naturally very eye-catching, Huo Guang's face changed, and he whispered to him to wipe out his involvement.
-- The lacquered cloth chariot at the end of the fifth bronze ornament can only be ridden by the wives of the princes and officials of more than 2,000 stones.
- The only person who can make Feng Zidu follow the attendants is obviously his wife.
Huo Guang was annoyed that he never let his wife come to Beique, obviously, it was his wife who made her own decisions.
After the death of the Donglu family, Xianji's mother became the wife of Boluhou as a son. She was originally the maidservant of the Donglu clan, and the director of the family is not a matter of affairs, but it is impossible to find faults, but the Huo family knows her background, and a cronie of the head of the family like Feng Zidu will not have much respect for a female monarch born as a maidservant (note), although it is not rude, it is inevitable to bring a little contempt.
Of course, Huo Guang himself is the same, at such a time, if the Donglu clan is alive and acts like this, he must first ask the reason before making a plan, and he will not be annoyed immediately like this.
When Feng Zidu spoke, Huo Guang saw that Xian Ji had already gotten out of the car, although he was angry that she was acting recklessly, but he didn't want to teach his family outside, so he still suppressed his anger and walked to the side of the carriage, but, without taking two steps, he saw Xian Ji hugging her daughter Chengjun from the car again, Huo Guang suddenly stopped, and his face became very ugly.
"Zidu!" Huo Guang moved his lips slightly and called his cronies.
Although the lord didn't speak again, how could Feng Zidu not understand his thoughts? He stood behind Huo Guang, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice at the same time: "Madame plans to take the young concubine into the palace to congratulate the winter solstice in the middle palace." ”
Huo Guang didn't respond, and Feng Zidu didn't say anything more.
Seeing Xianji and Shaoji approaching, Feng Zidu obediently saluted the female monarch and the female son-in-law, and then left.
Even when he watched his wife and daughter walk in front of him and pay homage, Huo Guang didn't say a word. Xian Ji couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, standing in front of Huo Guang, she didn't dare to raise her head, let alone say anything, but her youngest daughter Cheng Jun, because she was the youngest, she had always been pampered at home, even Huo Guang, in the face of immature and young women, was not as serious as usual, so she happily pounced on her father and coquettishly affectionately: "Cheng Jun misses Ah Weng so much!" Does Aung want to be a king? ”
If he was at home, Huo Guang would have picked up his daughter and had a good intimacy, but at this moment, he just stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the top of his daughter's head, then withdrew his hand and said to Xianji lightly: "Go home." ”
Xian Ji shuddered for a moment, but did not immediately obey her fate as before. She raised her head, and there was unconcealed fear in her eyes, but she said very resolutely: "The concubine wants to bring Chengjun into the palace to congratulate the middle palace." ”
Hearing her words, Huo Guang couldn't help but show obvious surprise - this was the first time she had disobeyed her words in person.
Hyun-hee was actually scared.
Now, although she is an upright and upright lady of the Liehou, she has been sold into the Donglu family since she was a child, and she doesn't even know where her home is. At this time, after saying the words of disobedience, she waited for Huo Guang's reaction with trepidation.
Huo Guang didn't have a seizure on the spot, but was a little annoyed because he was too surprised.
"What did you say?" Huo Guang asked lightly.
Huo Guang's angry reaction made Xianji even more uneasy, but looking at the little daughter who was clinging to Huo Guang, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and still insisted on Fang Cai's answer: "The concubine said that the concubine is about to enter the palace with Chengjun to congratulate the winter solstice in the middle palace. ”
In the end, Xian Ji finally lost her composure, and her speech became faster and faster, showing a bit of weakness.
Huo Guang listened to her quietly, then looked away, and casually motioned to the nanny standing next to the carriage to come over: "Take Chengjun to my car." ”
The nanny glanced at the female monarch timidly, but she didn't dare to say more, and immediately whispered in response, and reached out to pick up the female son-in-law.
After the nanny walked away, Huo Guangcai looked at his wife again and said lightly: "My wife can naturally congratulate the queen, but other thoughts ...... You'd better not move! ”
Xian Ji lowered her head and said nothing, Huo Guang didn't say anything more to her, turned around and went to her own car.
Seeing that the lord was heading to the chariot shop, Feng Zi was in charge of the royal car, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed, but he deliberately went around, walked past the female monarch, and softly threw down a sentence: "Madame's original voucher should be in the middle palace, right?" ”
Xian Ji's face suddenly turned pale, raised her head, and glared fiercely at her husband's cronies, but unfortunately she only saw the back of the other party leaving in a hurry.
Huo Guang really didn't break his promise, he didn't mean to wait for her any longer, and after boarding the car, he ordered Feng Zidu to take the car home.
Seeing that the lord's car had been gone, the attendants couldn't help but look at each other, and finally, the one who had always been the most kind to Xianji was "pushed" out by everyone, and he rubbed to Xianji's side, and said cautiously: "Madame......"
Xian Ji came from the position of slave and maid, how can she not understand their thoughts - the lord has already returned home, and they will not return?
Indeed, at this time, it is the best policy for An An to go home partially, but looking at the magnificent phoenix in the west of the city, Xian Ji will be heartbroken: "Go and build a chapter!" With that, he immediately boarded the car, as if he was afraid that he would soon regret it.
The maids and maids looked at each other again, but seeing that the female monarch had already boarded the carriage and had no other orders, they could only clean up their expressions and follow the carriage to Jianzhang Palace.
When she arrived at the north of Jianzhang Palace, Xianji deeply regretted it, and a long-lost sense of humiliation filled her heart - she didn't have a nationality in Jianzhang Palace!
- The dignified Mrs. Boluhou, the wife of the general, is not listed on the name of Jianzhang Palace!
The guard marquis on duty and the bus Sima Ling were also very embarrassed, and after explaining the situation, they cautiously said to the maidservant who came to report: "Madame, do you want to ask?" We can inform the confessor. ”
- In fact, this is the treatment of ordinary scholars, which is not commensurate with the identity of Mrs. Boluhou, but if you have no palace registration, if you want to enter the palace, you can only do so.
After listening to the words relayed by the maidservant, Xian Ji wanted to leave with her sleeves in the car, but after her face changed several times, she still responded to this suggestion.
The bus Sima Ling did not dare to slack off, and personally reported to the internal counselor's office, and the internal counselor's office was also surprised, but he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the queen.
At this time, it was close to the time of eating, however, Xijun fainted before, and he was still recuperating, so he had just gotten up, still washing, and when he heard the report of the confessor, the young queen was stunned at the time, and only spoke out for a while, but she repeated in a daze: "Mrs. Boluhou? ”
Changyu, who was serving on the side, didn't understand why the queen was like this, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "This lady has nothing to do with the middle palace, otherwise, the middle palace will also be called the eldest mother!" ”
- If Huo Xingjun hadn't died so early, and his stepmother was like a mother, no matter what, Huo Xingjun would have to call Xianji's mother, and Xijun would naturally need to change his words.
It's just a joke, no one expected that the queen would have a sudden attack, and she suddenly knocked over the engraved gold and copper plate held by the palace people kneeling in front of her.
After a clang, the kneeling palace people were covered in water, and the others in the hall were even more frightened.
The young queen coldly glanced at the Changyu who had just said, and turned her head to the palace in front of her: "It's me who is not good, I don't do the secretary's business, and the secretary will retreat first." ”
The palace man hurriedly retreated, and he was extremely happy in his heart, but the other people in the hall did not have this luck, especially the Changyu who spoke, and he was even more full of cold sweat.
After letting the affected palace people retreat, the young queen did not speak immediately, and this silence did not make people feel relaxed, but made people feel deeply pressured, and when Xijun slowly spoke, many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Changyu."
Although there is more than one chief in the palace, everyone knows very well who the queen is calling.
The long royal stepped forward in fear and kowtowed again and again, but because she didn't know which of the queen's taboos she had committed, she didn't open her mouth to plead guilty.
Xi Jun looked at Chang Yu who was kowtowing heavily in the hall, and couldn't help frowning, but the anger that came from inexplicably was quietly dispersed.
"That's it!" Xijun lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, "Changyu didn't say anything wrong......
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Chang Yu was even more grateful, and only then did he thank him, and then he heard the young queen say in a gloomy tone: "However, don't say that again, I don't like to hear it!" ”
The girl stretched out her hand to caress the brocade under her, then raised her eyes, looked at each other, and said seriously: "I only have one mother, naturally only one grandmother!" ”
The chief emperor couldn't help but be frightened, kowtowed again, and solemnly promised: "Remember, servant! ”
After a while, another Changyu next to him spoke cautiously: "Lady Boluhou, please forgot, is Zhonggong allowed?" ”
Xijun closed her eyes, her hands pressed tightly on the cold brocade, and after a while, she opened her eyes, and at the same time slowly raised her hand, gently folded it on her knees, and said indifferently: "Please wait in the front hall of Madame." ”
Note: The imperial maid, a kind of concubine in the Han Dynasty, has a lower status than the concubine such as the little wife, and is still the status of the slave maid.
