(90) Bun and meter
Everyone punished and punished, and rewarded and rewarded, and thought that this was the end of it. But I didn't want Song Mier to stand in the middle of the courtyard again, and everyone was puzzled, but they saw the first-class palace maid Qinghe next to the queen and led a middle-aged, but combed the door bun and walked out from the back of the side hall.
This middle-aged woman, most of the people present don't know, but there are almost no people who don't know.
The so-called wangmen bun refers to the bun combed by those noble ladies who vowed not to marry for life. Some noble girls, for various reasons, are unwilling to marry, and do not want to become a monk, but only want to be a sister-in-law in their mother's family. In the palace, there are also palace maids who do not marry for life and serve their masters to old age, called Mama, but Mama can only comb the unified hairstyle of Mama with one board and one eye, and can only wear cold-colored hair accessories such as blue, blue, and gray. This Wangmen bun is different from Mama's hairstyle, the same is not married, Mama's hairstyle is combed by the palace maid, but the Wangmen bun is combed by a noble girl, only those women with prominent family backgrounds or admired people, after they are unwilling to marry, they can comb the Wangmen bun, and there is no restriction on hair accessories, as long as it is not as fancy as an unmarried little girl.
This wangmen bun also has a history, it is rumored that a female gentleman in the previous dynasty, when she was still a boudoir woman, and a general was in love, when the general was about to come to the door to propose, but was sent to the frontier battlefield, the general died on the battlefield. This noble lady did not have a substantive marriage contract with the general, and was not qualified to be a widow for him, but the noble girl's love was deep-rooted and affectionate, so she vowed not to marry for life, and took pity on the war refugees, many orphans were homeless, so she took out the dowry to build a house, took in those orphans, pulled up her hair, and became a female gentleman. Gradually, the reputation of this noble girl spread, and the noble girl took in more and more orphans, and her fame grew. The noble girl's maiden family is also an enlightened family, and instead of stopping this behavior of her daughter, she devotes her family strength to help her and realize her wishes.
Throughout her life, the noble girl took in tens of thousands of orphans, and more than half of these orphans became the talents and pillars of the later court and commerce. The people of ten miles and eight towns are grateful to the noble girl, and this noble girl has also become a legendary woman of the previous generation.
She never married, had no children, and when she was dying, people from all over the country came to mourn her, but the large county where she lived surrounded it in an impenetrable but orderly manner. Countless officials in python robes and crane costumes knelt down in front of her coffin, how many middle-aged people with gray sideburns supported her spirit flags and cried like a child, how many noble ladies wearing imperial costumes held their children and took their servants, standing from the sealed coffin to the first seventh, their backs straightened and sleepless, guarding their feet for seven days, and crying for seven days, and how many people who had received her favor, from elderly people to ignorant children, cried loudly and thundered accordingly.
She has no pen and ink that she can handle, nor any literary creations that have been passed down for centuries, nor have she had the thrilling experience of a legendary life, but she has supported the life pursued by countless people with her slender arms. She was the first woman in the previous dynasty and was called everyone's woman.
The Wangmen bun is the bun that she swore not to marry on the day she tied up her hair that has not changed for life, and the place where her general died is called the closed door, and what she looks at is always the place where her sweetheart died, and what she is looking forward to is always the figure of her sweetheart's return. Even if you know that the person is already dead.
After the female gentleman, the wangmen bun became the hair bun of those noble ladies who vowed not to marry for life. Although I don't say that I can stand side by side with this female gentleman, I always have the sentiment and loyalty of a female gentleman.
In this palace, the grandmother who does not marry and serves the master for life combs the mother's hairstyle, and there is only one middle-aged woman who combs the door bun.
The young palace people don't know what the origin of this Shujie is, they only know that she has always lived in a simple place, and there is almost no sense of zài in the palace, but they have been educated by the older generation of aunts and grandmothers. Because if you offend a concubine, only this concubine will rectify you, and if you offend Shujie Mama, it may be the Queen Mother or even Her Majesty who will rectify you.
But fortunately, this Shujie Mama doesn't come out much in the Xuande Palace on weekdays, and even if they meet, they are very gentle, and they don't embarrass these minions at all. In particular, the palace and the chief eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office know that the dishes of the Queen Mother are not much different from the Queen Mother's, and the clothes and fabrics used are not much different from those of the Queen Mother, although they do not see how to wear the Queen Mother, but the style of the materials is the best, the Queen Mother and her seem to be sisters, and some people have even overheard the Queen and the Emperor calling Aunt Shujie in private!
The elderly palace people know the origin of this Shujie, but most of the time they are secretive, there are too many people involved in that period of time, not that they can talk about these slaves, they just need to know that although Shujie is also called Mama, but it is different from other Mama in the palace, she is a person who even the emperor and queen have to respect.
But I don't know what it means for the queen to invite Mama Shujie out at this time.
Could it be that you want Shujie to reprimand everyone again?
In the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, Shujie slowly walked in front of Song Mi'er and looked at her with a frown, "Mi'er, do you really plan to do this?" ”
"Auntie, I've decided, don't worry about me." Song Mier whispered.
"Who's worried about you!" Shujie glared at Song Mier angrily, but her eyes were full of worry.
Song Mier smiled embarrassedly, but in the blink of an eye, he changed to a firm expression.
The people below couldn't hear what the two said, but saw that the expressions of the two gradually changed to stern.
I saw Shujie turn around and stand two steps behind the queen's side, the queen's back was straight, but the originally beautiful slap face had a sense of solemnity and inviolability, and I saw her standing solemnly in the middle of the courtyard and said loudly:
"As the lord of the six palaces, this palace should take the prosperity of the concubines of the six palaces as its own responsibility, but in the future, the palace will wither talents, and the concubines are in a worrying situation, it is really unfavorable for the palace to govern the palace, and it should be punished!"
As soon as the words fell, Song Mier stretched out her jade-like wrist, and her palm wanted to spread out, Shujie, who was originally standing behind her, took a step forward, took out a ring ruler from her sleeve, and hit Song Mier's palm with a "snap".
Everyone gasped and looked at the queen mother in front of them in dismay, as if they were frozen.
"As the lord of the six palaces, the palace should be in harmony with the harem as its own responsibility, and in the future, everyone in the palace will be flattered and bullied, and the palace will not be strict, and it should be punished!"
"Smack!"
The second sound also exploded on Song Mi'er Yingying's palm.
In an instant, a bright red mark was imprinted on the palm of his hand.
"Queen Mother!"
"?!"
"Master!!!
Only then did everyone react, and for a while, the courtyard was full of voices of pain and surprise. Qinghe didn't know that there was such a thing at all, and in a hurry, she ran towards Shujie, vigorously pulled down the ring ruler in her hand, like a hen guarding her cubs, covered Song Mier behind her with open arms, stared at Shujie with wide eyes, forgot all the rules and etiquette, and the whole person trembled with anger, and spoke a little incoherently: "You, you, how dare you!" She's your queen! You, relying on you as an elder, you ······"
"Qinghe!" Song Mier grabbed Qinghe's arm and stopped her from saying anything more disrespectful, and the place where her hand had just been beaten happened to be pressed against Qinghe's blue satin shirt, and the embroidery on it made her gasp slightly. Qinghe, who was in front of him, heard Song Mier's low cry of pain, and couldn't care about anything anymore, so he hurriedly turned his head and grabbed Song Mier's hand, tears rolling in his eyes, "Master!" It's all to blame on the slaves, it's all the slaves and maids who are not good! As he spoke, he lifted up his skirt and knelt down, "If you want to punish me, punish me!" It is the slave and the maid who fail to share the worries of the master, and the slave and the maid who are incompetent! ”
According to the rules, in the Xuande Palace, in addition to the chief eunuch, there is also a need for an aunt in charge, or a first-class female official, Song Mier took pity on the Qinghe and others he brought from home, and did not want them to be subservient, so he did not set up a female official in the Xuande Palace, and directly cultivated Qinghe, who had the longest seniority, as a first-class palace maid, as an aunt in charge. The aunt in charge of the Xuande Palace is different from the female officials or aunts in the palace of other concubines, because the queen is in charge of the phoenix seal and is in charge of all the affairs of the harem, and the aunt in charge of the queen's palace must also assist the queen and take care of all the affairs of the harem. That is to say, if there is an aunt in charge in other palaces, it is only a small world in that palace, and the first-class female officials or aunts in charge of all palaces have equal status, and when they see the eunuchs of the various palaces and the internal affairs government who are above them, they must also bow their heads and say yes in a friendly manner. Of course, some lawless and domineering people who rely on the favor of their masters do not count. However, the status of the aunt in charge of the Xuande Palace is similar to that of the chief eunuch of the Shang Palace and the Internal Affairs Office, and even because of the power of the queen to dispatch and arrange palace affairs, sometimes she is even faintly higher than everyone else.
To put it bluntly, it's the same as the eunuch next to the emperor. The Internal Affairs Office was originally in charge of all the palace people, but the eunuch next to the emperor was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office in turn.
Therefore, Qinghe's words are not wrong. If Song Mier wants to say that he is not strict, in essence, Qinghe will not be able to escape a cadre who has not fulfilled his duties.
Thinking of this, Qinghe's heart was even more guilty. The person who should have been punished was himself!
Qinghe knelt down, and for a while, those palace people who were already panicking because Song Mier himself had punished himself also knelt down under the invisible guidance.
Those who were already kneeling were even more prostrate forward, and those who were originally tied to a wooden bench to be tortured also begged the executioners to untie the ropes, use their hands and feet together, and kneel and lie on their stomachs in pain.
It's not that they're coy, it's that it's beyond their understanding.
