37 years off
It makes sense to say that the grandson is gentle and loves Xu Xun. When the weather cools down, the weather in the capital becomes even wetter. After several rains in a row, the palace was waterlogged - it was uncomfortable for anyone to live in the wet, but anyone could bend it, and the emperor could not bend it. He would rather blow the bone-chilling cold wind in Mobei than face the humid cold in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as the weather was cold, he took his grandson out on a safari. Anyway, over the years, the emperor has gone out frequently, and when he went out of Beijing, he was the prince in charge of the country, and there was never anything wrong, doesn't he just prefer to run out?
said that he was going on a safari, and he definitely couldn't bring a woman with him, who knows how long it will take to come back? The grandson has only been back for less than a month, and he is about to run away with the emperor again. The women in the Taisun Palace still have to spend most of their time together. The grandson took a lot of thought, and asked the emperor for jewelry with a broken face, isn't it just to maintain the rules in the Taisun Palace?
As long as the rules are there, these gentle and generous concubines get along very harmoniously and comfortably. Where the rules are, everyone's behavior has a scale, everyone is at peace, that is, someone pampers more or less, it doesn't matter, anyway, it doesn't affect the treatment. It is people's ability to be favored, this can only be envied, there is nothing to be jealous of.
When the grandson is here, sometimes it is a little embarrassing - the place is too small, and everyone can watch every move, but now that the grandson is gone, the lives of the little girls are comfortable and harmonious again. Now the weather is getting colder, no hotter than a hot day, and you sweat all over your body when you go out. Every day Xu Xun got up in the morning, went to the house of the concubine, everyone talked, and went to the palace of the princess to ask for peace - the princess wanted to raise the baby, and she often vomited when she got up in the morning, so she was exempted from the concubines' invitations, and sometimes she could get up, so she walked to the princess by herself and did not stay with them.
Please come by, chat and chat with a few elders, and it's nothing. Xu Xun was originally going to be taken into the harem to ask for peace, but because his direct boss, Concubine Taisun, was on maternity leave, without the guidance of Concubine Taisun, the people of Taisun Palace did not have to enter the inner palace often. This is also an invisible rule: the wife and wife, that is, the mistress of a small family, she loves Xu Xun, and brings Xu Xun to the elders to talk and ask for face, that is her generosity. But when she can't pass, Xu Xun's identity can't go to the elders to curry favor, otherwise, once it spreads, people still think that this princess is not favored, and the relationship with the elders is not as familiar as a little grandson Jieyu.
You can not enter the inner palace, of course, the best, after sitting in the morning, play in the back garden of the spring and hall for a while, not play swings, or play tops, play double land, anyway, in addition to dominoes can only be played secretly by their own people behind closed doors, other entertainment activities are not prohibited, in the spring and the palace, there are many people who choose the palace at that age, everyone gathers together and friends, there is not much up and down, play laughter, but very happy.
When it was time to have lunch, I went back to Taisun Palace for lunch, the weather was cold, and I began to eat the pot, and this kind of warm fire meal was not as unappetizing as it was in summer. After eating lunch and taking a nap, Xu Xun often gets up to find the princess, and sometimes Sun Yunu and He Xianxian also go over, and the four of them sit together and gossip. In addition to not talking about gossip, the recent situation of the concubines in the inner palace and the direction of the wind in the court, they vaguely know a little, and they will not have nothing to say.
For example, Wang Guifei Niangniang is getting sicker and sicker this winter. The emperor specially asked her to go to Tangshan Palace to recuperate, and Concubine Han Li from a palace also accompanied her. Then Liu Jieyu followed the emperor out on a safari again, so this year's inner palace is very quiet, and there is less tongue when sending things quarterly, Cui Huifei and other ladies are all with the concubine Niangniang, everyone is lively and harmonious, and the princess also loves to go to the inner palace.
There are also those who talk about the court, saying that the matter of moving the capital has been largely decided, and everything has been done over there. Now the concubine Niangniang looks at the palace map every day and worries, and together with the eunuchs and young eunuchs of the royal prison, she is calculating every day, how many concubines and concubines are in the inner palace, how much furniture is distributed to each person according to the routine, how much is transported here, and how much is newly built there.
"I heard that the eunuch of the Three Treasures came back from the West and really brought a lot of wood, which was for the use of the line." Sun Yunu's news is also well-informed, in fact, the four of them are the same, although they rarely go out, but when the grandmothers heard something, they turned their heads and told them. "It is also said that the East Palace where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives is much better than the current Chunhe Palace, it is several times more spacious, and the name has also been changed, so it is called Ciqing Palace."
Concubine Taisun bowed her head and said, "I also heard that we will live in the side hall at the back of Ciqing Palace, and at that time, we will be closer to my mother." ”
Xu Xun is a little strange, although they can't walk around casually in the palace, but they still understand the basic structure, everything in the palace pays attention to symmetry, and the Chunhe Hall also has a relative palace on the side of the central axis, in fact, it should be able to do the residence of the grandson, but the palace over there is leaking, and it is a serious rain leak, it is said that because it is an old building left by the Wu Palace, the entire framework has a problem, and it must be disassembled and rebuilt. The emperor thought about moving the capital again, so he arranged for the grandson to live in the current small courtyard. When you get to the line over there, everything is big, and weishenme doesn't live separately? The prince doesn't have to be so narrow, and the grandson doesn't have to crowd everyone in one courtyard.
Thinking like this, Sun Yunu muttered, "Da Lang is not here, no one speaks." According to me, we don't want to go to the palace opposite Ciqing Palace? In this way, everyone is more spacious, but it seems to be all tied together, and the crowd is too dense. ”
Concubine Taisun smiled and said, "I think so too, I don't know weishenme, when Da Lang comes back, ask him." ”
The middle-aged woman who was napping on the kang raised her eyes and interjected, "The nobles don't know, this palace is also very particular. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the east is a good place to welcome the rising sun, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. In the west, the autumn wind is slaughtering, and it is a depressed place, which is suitable for the elders such as the queen mother and the concubine to retire quietly. Therefore, to the west is Renshou Palace, which is the place where the queen mother's concubines will be supported in the future. ”
Because of many well-known reasons, there are no elders in the emperor's harem, and at that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, who could take care of these? It is said that the Jianwenshu people also set a fire before leaving the palace, and many people were burned to death in it. Therefore, the palace opposite the Chunhe Hall has always been empty, and the little concubines don't know what is important inside, but now that they have learned, they all smiled and said in unison, "Mama Xie taught." ”
Sun Yunu said a little curiously, "Mama, you are a new face, I haven't seen it before, and it hasn't been long since you entered the palace?" ”
This grandma, it is said that grandma is also a little reluctant, in her early thirties, although she is older than them, but she is not as good as the old grandmothers in her forties around Xu Xun. Generally, in their early thirties, there are few who are nurturing grandmothers, but as soon as they open their mouths, they have a clear and educational tone, and they are dressed plain and plain, Sun Yunu is a little uncertain, and Xu Xun and He Xianxian are also a little curious. It was still the princess who smiled and said, "This is the new female medicine who has been selected to enter the palace, no wonder your eyes are born." She was selected by His Royal Highness King Zhou from the fiefdom and invited to participate in the election, and she had also been in charge of medicine for the princess and the county lord in the palace of Uncle Wang in the past, so she didn't have to run for the election, and she came in to serve directly. My mother was worried about my heavy body, so she asked her to come and serve. ”
Si Yao came up to say hello to the nobles, and it was enough to just bow to the pier. "The slave Nan clan has seen several nobles."
The harem of this dynasty, the rank is actually not clear, unlike the previous dynasty, which title is several ranks, the hierarchy is strict, and the etiquette is comprehensive. In addition to the detailed treatment regulations for the queen and concubine, the following palace concubines all treated each other as one regardless of grade, and did not establish a nine-grade system like the foreign courts. According to the example of the previous dynasty, Taisun Jieyu and Taisun Concubine are at most seven or eight grades, and the Si Yao Nan clan in front of them is the sixth grade, and they are also considered high-ranking officials in the palace. She saluted Xu Xun and the others, and they all had to stand up and lean over, and they had to return the salute to the medicine in the same way, and then sit down to talk. Sun Yunu smiled and said, "You're from Henan, I feel a bit like I'm from there when I hear this accent." ”
"It's a native of the capital, who practices medicine at home, and was taken to Zhongdu by His Royal Highness King Zhou that year, and later went to Kaifeng with him." When Nan Siyao spoke, he was generous and insightful. "In the past, when I was in Zhongdu, I went to the old imperial city when I was idle, and I learned this point there."
The old imperial city of Fengyang, the central capital, can be said to be the most magnificent unfinished building in this dynasty, and it is also a very famous joke, Xu Xun has heard this story since he was a child, Liu Bowen wisely persuaded the grandfather to set the capital of Beiping Yunyun, now think about it, it should be the wind released by the emperor in order to move the capital. However, the capital of Jinling, this palace is indeed not repaired, it is said that the lake is not filled, this land still belongs to the dragon prince, until now it rains in the palace, it is either waterlogging or leakage, and the wet answer is particularly uncomfortable. But this is nothing, at that time, the grandfather was frizzy, and he still wanted to set the capital Fengyang, so he had to build the imperial city in the place where the four sides did not rely on floods for many years. Nan Siyao casually said some interesting things to them, "When I walked around the old imperial city with His Royal Highness King Zhou, I could still see such a palace, the frame was laid, the pillars of the big mahogany were magnificent, and the gold paint on the pillars was painted, but half of the roof tiles were red, and the other half was empty, and there was nothing." It is said that it was back then, when the stoppage order came, all of them were withdrawn without saying a word. After all these years, the half of the roof tiles has faded into shape, and the half of the roof tiles still looks so magnificent. ”
She has a wide range of experience, not to mention a few masters, and even a room of womb people and mothers are stunned. Xu Xun listened, and went back to learn to a few grandmothers, and the grandmothers laughed, "I heard that the new Nansi medicine has gone through more than half of the world, and he is a very knowledgeable person." ”
In fact, speaking of which, Mama Qian is also from a female history, that is, after she was transferred to Xu Xun's upbringing, the treatment has not been transferred back, she still has close contact with the female officials in the palace now, and said by the way, "This draft is small, all in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there is no movement here in the capital." In fact, I heard that there are many female officials who can be added in, so it's okay, there were not enough people in the past, and there were no rules for many things in the palace. Now in the prosperous era, there should be rules for everything, and presumably in the future, this rule will be stricter. ”
Xu Xun blinked his eyes and said, "I think this rule is quite strict now—"
Mama Qian shook her head with a smile and didn't say anything, Mama Sun pursed her lips and said, "It's still strict, and everything is ......."
Mama Qian glanced at her, and she didn't say anything further, but turned to say, "When the seizure comes out, it's difficult for nobles not to know." Now, you should take a leisurely look at your body, the princess and concubine have made a good start, when will you be able to give birth to the emperor's heir, this day is called beautiful. ”
In the past, several grandmothers did not mention the topic of the imperial heir, and it was not until the princess became pregnant that these words often came out of their mouths. When Xu Xun heard this, she also felt some pressure on her shoulders, and she said, "Then I would rather have it, isn't it difficult for a good woman to cook without rice......
Several grandmothers also sighed: The grandson has followed the active emperor this year, and the number of times he has gone out is really a little more.
"That's right." Xu Xun thought about it again and asked, "This Nansi medicine has such a background, why did you go directly to the sister of the princess to serve, is it really the sister of the princess who wants to come?" ”
The crown princess, it's not like such a high-profile person, right? The selection of female officials has not yet ended, so she directly named her to go to the princess, no matter how you look at it, it looks like what the Han family will do......
"Concubine Taisun is polite and unwilling to show off." When Mama Qian mentioned the princess, she has always been extremely praised and revered. "Actually, this person was asked by the emperor to come to His Royal Highness King Zhou. His Royal Highness King Zhou compiled the "Materia Medica", and there were many talents under his hands, and there were tens or hundreds of medical scholars alone. As soon as the emperor heard that the princess had good news, it is said that he personally wrote a letter to His Royal Highness King Zhou to ask for such a doctor, and sent it directly to the Taisun Palace......"
She sighed, "Over the years, Wang Niangniang has been sick, Zhang Niangniang is only in charge of palace affairs, and the emperor doesn't say much to the previous one." The emperor suffered from head wind again, and when he got into pain, his temper became more and more strange, except for the grandson, who still felt so much pain, I think it was to the king of Han, no-"
The people in her palace talk privately, and there are not so many taboos, Mama Qian hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "It's not so good, let alone to His Royal Highness the Prince." There is news from the Chunhe Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has often gotten it recently, and when the emperor goes out, he can still take a breath. If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was thoughtful inside and out, she would feel even more uncomfortable. ”
Xu Xun really had never seen the East Palace in such a difficult situation, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of how many things the crown princess had to worry about. "In front of me in my sister's house, they also said that they felt that the inner palace was much calmer now. When I think of the things you told me, I feel that the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and it is not easy for the crown princess. ”
"You didn't say these words, did you?" Mama Qian asked, Xu Xun hurriedly shook her head, "How can I say it casually, I will follow what Mama taught, most of the time, I just treat myself as if I have no mouth." ”
"That's it." Mama Qian was relieved. "It's not that the sisters are not trustworthy, it's just that the palace maids in other people's houses, who knows what the color is, some words are taken out by them and spread around, but they have changed their flavor - nobleman, you have seen nothing in the past, after all, Zhang Niangniang's birthday, the people are not too even, wait for the end of this year, and then watch the excitement...... Alas, they are all poor people, trembling in front of the emperor, they are so afraid that they will not be able to look like this, they turn their heads, and bully people like this......"
Xu Xun looks at Liu Jieyu now, and he kind of understands why she is so flamboyant. This matter is also very clear to put it bluntly, Xu Xun is with his grandson, and the good days are ahead, now he is arrogant, how can he shake all the blessings in the future? But Liu Jieyu is serving the emperor, a good life is now, if she is not arrogant now, how can she have a chance to get a good time in the future?
Perhaps, it is this anxiety about the future that makes Liu Jieyu's temper particularly strange...... Xu Xun thinks about it now, and he is quite sympathetic to her, but he is not so aggrieved and angry. She sighed, "That's right, the emperor has a bad temper, and the palaces should be more restrained." At the end of this year, don't make any moths, everyone will pass safely, so let's just do it. ”
Her worries and expectations are justified. If it is one of the harem concubines, someone wants to find someone to beat and pinch for fun, and finds the two palaces of Taisun Palace and Taigong, except for her Xu Xun, no one is suitable. Take He Xianxian, who has never heard of her, who knows who she is? Take Zhang Cairen, the niece and nephew of the concubine, do you have the guts? Take advantage of Li Cairen, how many years have you been in the palace, you are older than you, do you have such a big face? As a relatively prominent rafter in the Taisun Palace, Xu Xun has a low status, high attention, young age, and shallow qualifications, who wants to take care of the Taisun and the prince, she is a ready-made handle, isn't she? If there is any trouble, it must have fallen on her head first.
Although there is the support of the concubine, but more things are better than less, Xu Xun is now very sincerely looking forward to not coming to her, as soon as she thinks about it, she has a headache.
However, having said that, it should still come, and soon after the grandson came back, the palace entered the wax moon, and as soon as he entered the wax moon, there was more etiquette, and the number of times Xu Xun entered the palace also increased suddenly. In other words, it was the golden time for the concubines to find fault and be mad.
