111. Knock
Sun Guifei is still here in the end.
And he came with a smile, and as soon as he entered the room, he naturally said, "I'm still talking about this, but I didn't expect my mother to have a belly case." That relationship is good, but I am exempted from an errand - Niangniang, more than half of the sisters in that class are in my palace, do you want to call them over and tell me about the matter together? ”
Her laughter could be heard all over the room, and the queen was faint, and there was no joy or anger, "I asked my mother to say goodbye this morning, and my mother also asked about it." I've been thinking about this for a long time...... The two of us thought of going together. ”
Sun Guifei's face seemed to be a little stiff with a smile - in the past, when she and the queen were together, the two of them were still natural. Now, the queen is fine, but Sun Guifei's expression can really only be described as 'pretending to be happy'.
A wife is a wife, and a queen is a queen. No matter how much the Queen Mother loves Sun Guifei, she will not cross the queen. Isn't it? Sun Guifei easily explained this matter in Qingning Palace, and the queen sat down with the queen mother, and took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and now Sun Guifei is so embarrassed that she can't deal with herself.
Raising harem concubines is the duty of the queen and the matter of the wife. Although Sun Guifei is decent everywhere and her status is also very special, the classics of the dynasty have never said that the concubine is the deputy queen. The queen was originally sick, and she was forced to take care of things when she was sick, in the final analysis, wasn't it because of Concubine Sun Guifei's behavior that Meng Lang overstepped her bounds?
The dog takes the mouse and meddles in his business. The queen didn't say a word, she just invited Xu Xun to Kunning Palace to sit down, and easily turned the situation around. Sun Guifei doesn't dare to say that she is very aggrieved now, there is nothing to blame for what the queen has done, she is doing her own thing. This dumb mouth can only be swallowed into the stomach with blood, and it must be swallowed happily, without revealing a little unhappiness.
Xu Xun and He Xianxian sat opposite Sun Yunu, both of them lowered their eyebrows and did not say a word, and Xu Xun also had mixed feelings in his heart: the queen can get up again and come out of the mountain again, emotionally she is happy. But the coercion of the concubine by this wife also made her a little hurtful: Sun Yunu is now also bent on her son, and with her person, she will definitely not covet the power of the harem, otherwise, in the past years in the Taisun Palace and the East Palace, she would not easily share this power with Xu Xun. Zhang Luo teaches newcomers the rules, which is nothing more than her own caution, unwilling to give others a handle, leaving an arrogant reputation. It was a good intention—at least, she wasn't looking for trouble.
But when the queen appeared, things changed, no matter what her intentions were, Sun Yunu should make amends to the queen in a timely manner - if it was Xu Xun, she would have knelt down a long time ago. As a concubine, she is involved in the queen's rights and responsibilities, which is a very unruly manifestation of women's morals. At the very least, you have to kneel down and ask for the guilt, tell the truth, and ask the queen for forgiveness......
Can she swallow this breath?
She couldn't swallow it, so after entering the house, she kept laughing and playing round, and she was soft, but her posture was not in place......
Xu Xun sighed in his heart and peeked at the queen's face. - Over the years, it seemed that it was the first time she had seen such a cold queen, and there was no trace of the usual smile on her face, and her phoenix eyes were shining, although the tone of her voice was still very kind, but she could feel that the queen's unhappiness eased by Sun Guifei's timely arrival was now gradually thickening.
If she can get out now, let alone two grandmothers, she is willing to come out of four grandmothers. Xu Xun's heart was beating wildly, and he could almost beat the drum. She stared at the gold brick in front of her and listened to the queen's kind words, "It's not a big deal, just go back to the palaces later to pass on a message." Now it's better to draw up the candidates for this temporary teaching, the grandmothers in Concubine Zhuang's palace are all old qualifications, and she is willing to give up two of them. There are few people around me for a while, and there are only two people at most. I don't know how many people can come out of the palace of the concubine? ”
Sun Guifei glanced at Xu Xun in surprise, and the eyes passed quickly, Xu Xun only felt that the cold hairs on the back of his neck exploded, but he didn't want to see her expression.
"I'll listen to my mother." Sun Guifei's statement was also very fast, "Niangniang also knows that although there are many old aunts in our palace now, the most outstanding ones must be the ones who have followed from the hidden mansion, and there are four or five grandmothers around me, one or two can be squeezed out." ”
Then it was decided that there were two in Changning Palace, and when he Xianxian's Xianyang Palace arrived, there was a problem. He Xianxian almost replaced the old grandmothers around her, and now they are replaced by a group of new old palace maids, and the quality of this person is not yet familiar. The queen also counted the two of her, and said with a smile, "You pay attention to it, whoever knows the most about the palace rules and regulations is who." ”
He Xianxian was as well-behaved as a kitten, and he answered yes with a sound, and then there was no sound. The queen smiled again, "I invited the teachers first, and everyone discussed how to arrange this course and what to teach." ”
She is an eldest woman, and now she is willing to come forward to call the shots, who wants to get along with her? Even Sun Guifei didn't say a word, and at that moment, all the palaces drew up the presumed candidates in their hearts, Xu Xun pushed out Mama Zhao, who had said it, thought about it for a moment in his heart, and added another Mama Qian. --After receiving the summons of the masters, within a quarter of an hour, they all rushed to the Kunning Palace, and the eight people made a big salute to the concubine, and they did not dare to stand, and they all knelt on the ground to listen to the queen's orders.
The queen took the lid and slowly flicked the foam in the tea bowl, and muttered for a moment before saying, "According to the new rules of the past year, all palace ladies are not allowed to leave the palace without anything, and they must be approved by the palace concubines." Emperor Wen set this rule, and Emperor Zhao also followed it during his years, but our generation, because there were many things, were panicked, but they didn't teach them this. I know that you are soft-skinned and embarrassed to say tough things, and the children don't understand the rules, so you will turn a blind eye to it. ”
She is very matter-of-fact, "It's just the rules of the ancestors, and naturally they all make sense." In the past, when Yulu was in the past, it was found that how many innocent concubines actually had a meal with the eunuchs of other palaces, and they had trysts from time to time. Serious palace prohibition is a thousand-year-old rule to prevent microaggressions, which naturally cannot be messed up. Several teachings must preach this point repeatedly, lest the children be ignorant and make big mistakes, even if they want to be lenient and forgiving, there is no room for this. ”
This is also the right reason, and the three concubines all nodded and said, "That's right." Niangniang is right. ”
The queen took a sip of tea, "Because I was sick first, this matter of asking for peace in the palace is also a mess." Now that the palace ban is clear, even this rule has risen. The concubines of each palace go to Kunning Palace on the third day, and below the concubine position, they go to the palace on the sixth day, and they usually get up early every day to ask for peace to the lord in the palace. Every time I look forward to the New Year, I take the concubines to greet my mother. If there is something else on weekdays, or someone you miss, but with the call of the elders, then there is no limit. ”
She glanced at the three of them and said with a smile, "Before Emperor Zhao's anniversary passes, my sisters should be quieter." Don't go to the East and West Gardens to play, but if you want to move around, then I won't stop you. ――People of my generation know the rules very well, and they are different from them. ”
All three of them stood up and bowed, "Niang Niang has what she ordered!" ”
"If you don't feel comfortable on the New Year's Day, you can also come to Kunning Palace as usual." The queen remembered and added, "The concubine will lead you to Qingning Palace." Although it is inevitable that there will be times when you can't get up, but you would rather bow to the empty seat, you can't abolish this form, we are in the palace, and the most important thing we can't forget is this honorific word in our hearts. Respect for heaven and earth, respect for ancestors, respect for the emperor...... This is the virtue that a harem woman should have. ”
I didn't expect the queen to make a move, but when she made a move, it was a sentence. Xu Xun is not Sun Guifei, and she feels a little painful for her. I can't find any fault with this remark, and it is indeed a correct theory, even if you go to the emperor, the queen will take advantage of it. But every sentence was like a slap in the face of Concubine Sun Guifei, not allowing her to go to Qingning Palace to ask for peace without permission, understanding the word 'respect', and teaching the concubines to abide by their duties...... Which one is not a metaphor for Sun Guifei?
A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, even in the heavenly family, this boundary is not as clear as that of ordinary people, but the gap between the two is as clear as a moat after all. The first time the queen used her identity to oppress people, she pressed everyone so that they couldn't have a word. Several grandmothers knelt straight and listened, Xu Xun looked at it, and felt as if he was kneeling down - although this kneeling was a subordinate, it was also a symbol of the palaces......
Seeing that everyone was convinced, the queen eased up a little, and said, "In addition to these palace models, the other thing to catch is the palace ceremony...... These are all excellent deeds of the grandmothers. As for the fourth female book—"
She frowned slightly, and added, "Let's wait for the oracles to invite them." Mammas only focus on these few points, and that's enough. ”
Everyone agreed, and when they saw that the queen was slightly colorless, they all got up and said goodbye with interest.

When Xu Xun returned to Yong'an Palace, he was already so tired that he couldn't move. Mama Sun and Mama Li put her on the bed, and they all looked at Xu Xun in disbelief. -- They didn't have to work in the morning today, and they all came from the lower room. Xu Xun originally went out to Changning Palace, but suddenly went to Kunning Palace again, and returned to the palace to call the grandmothers over. Hua'er and Hong'er were already scared half to death, and they were busy calling the two grandmothers over, and everyone was anxious together.
Xu Xun half-closed his eyes, and he didn't have the strength to explain the whole story, so he only commanded hoarsely, "Let Mama Qian talk to you......"
After that, I didn't have the heart to listen to the grandmothers, my eyes were closed, I wanted to sleep, and I couldn't sleep in a mess in my head, so I pretended to sleep for a while, then I turned over and sat up again, and called the grandmothers in to talk.
The four grandmothers were very rarely speechless - this is the palace, not the outside market, the queen and the concubine have already torn their faces today, and they can only barely maintain the superficial harmony, so as not to speak ill of each other.
In other words, the queen barely maintained her apparent harmony, and did not say anything excessive to the concubine. As for the concubine, she is usually prosperous, and she looks so prosperous that she can't even breathe in Kunning Palace. If she really didn't have any resentment in her heart, she wouldn't have been standing up and refusing to admit her mistakes.
The current suspicion between the two palaces has been completely superficial, and it is said that this has nothing to do with Xu Xun, right--but who knows what the concubine thinks in her heart? Xu Xun was only willing to give one person in Changning Palace, why did he change his mind when he arrived in Kunning Palace? What is Changning Palace discussing, and how can the queen know? Did she Xu Xun say it?
When a woman gets angry, she will not be reasonable, and Xu Xun himself is an example of haode. She told Liu Zhien not to hear the names of the two families again, and Liu Zhien will definitely handle it properly. In addition to the ignorant cousin and cousin himself, even their closest relatives are implicated. The concubine has a clear love and hate temperament, and is full of stubbornness, if you have any thoughts about Xu Xun......
"Mother." Mama Qian thought about it for a long time, but she could only persuade helplessly, "Forbidden, it's not your problem, that's the way it is, you can't ...... it."
Xu Xun sighed heavily, and she shook her head.
"I'm not sorry." She whispered, "I'm scared. ”
Afraid of what? Several people looked at each other, and Mama Zhao said bravely, "The concubine has a clear priority, who is to deal with, and it will not be ...... to you."
Xu Xun sighed softly.
"I'm just scared of this." She said sincerely, "I'm just scared of this." ”
Mama Zhao didn't understand, she glanced at Mama Qian, Mama Qian was also a little confused, but Xu Xun didn't mean to explain further, she hugged her knees and changed the topic.
"Niangniang is the queen, and it is a matter of course to obey the master's mother. Since Niangniang wants to be a model of the palace, from tomorrow, Yong'an Palace will implement this rule, Mama Qian, you go back and talk to the three of them...... Then go to Kunning Palace and ask, from which day the three days and one day are counted. ”
She glanced at the four grandmothers and said in a deep voice, "On weekdays, because I am still favored, you are also a little arrogant outside, although I know these things in my heart, but I haven't said much about human nature...... From this day forward, this can no longer be the case. ”
Several grandmothers all said in unison, and judging from their expressions, they also fully understood what Xu Xun meant.
In this kind of limelight, it is a small omission, and sometimes it can cause a big storm. Especially Xu Xun's favor in the palace, second only to Sun Guifei, her status is the easiest to be used as a raft. Whether it's a gun or a shield, it's very useful.
From now on, up and down the Yong'an Palace, you have to keep your head down and be careful.
Xu Xun didn't talk at all today, his meaning was reached, and he didn't have the heart to listen to what the grandmothers said more, so he fell on the kang again, staring at the ceiling and just being distracted. When the surroundings slowly fell silent, she sighed softly.
The story of the harem, Xu Xun has not heard of it. The tanuki changed the crown prince, and Empress Lu made a rebellion - even in Emperor Wen's harem, there were real murders, so the Yulu Rebellion was set off. But Xu Xun always thought that their generation could be a little different.
She is not naïve enough to think that there will be no contradictions between the old people in the Hidden Mansion, but contradictions are one thing, and fighting is another. From before to now, the relationship between the concubines has always been harmonious, the queen let the concubine, and the concubine also let the queen - at least, when they were not queens and concubines.
Now, the original intentions of the two people may not have changed, just because their identities have changed, and the relationship has deteriorated so quickly......
Xu Xun is really a little scared - cold palace, poisonous wine, white silk, these elements, she is not unfamiliar, but in her heart, these are all forced by the outside world to give them harem women. It was the emperor who entered the cold palace, it was the poisonous wine given by the emperor, and it was the white silk sent by the custom of martyrdom. She never thought that these things would appear among harem women.
Today, she faintly feels this trend and vaguely sees this possibility.
