When the Li family came to Yonghe Palace crying, Lu Ning was talking to Mrs. Hua Rui and Qingcheng.

is about to leave Bianjing, and I don't know if it will take a year and a half or even more to come back, in the days before leaving, Lu Ning went from palace to palace and talked to the concubines, also to let them feel at ease.

Yes, Lu Ning left a few days later than planned.

Even little women like Mrs. Hua Rui, who are ignorant of the world, know that the Holy Son of Heaven said that it was a conquest of Taiyuan this time, but the Northern Han Kingdom is a vassal of the Khitans, and the Holy Son of Heaven conquest of the Northern Han Dynasty, how could the Khitan sit idly by?

I heard that the Khitan Hulu was ferocious and abnormal, eating flesh and blood, and each of them was as strong as a savage.

War is likely to break out with such northern Hulu, and Madame Hua Rui, like the other concubines, is very worried.

Lu Ning's heart has been warm in the past few days.

Seeing Mrs. Hua Rui and Qingcheng's worried looks today, my heart was even more happy.

Suddenly, Meng Lang had the intention, sitting on the soft couch on the backrest, Lu Ning patted left and right, "Come, sit down!" ”

Mrs. Hua Rui and Qingcheng, who were originally sitting on the soft pier in front of Lu Ning, were all stunned, and their pretty faces were slightly red.

"I don't know when I'll be back......"

"Your Majesty, don't say such things." Mrs. Hua Rui hurriedly got up, took two steps lightly, and sat beside Lu Ning, but she was a little frightened, "The concubine has trespassed." "After all, even when he was with Lu Ning Yunyu, he was also cautious, even if he had never been lying side by side, he was usually curled up in Lu Ning's arms, not to mention sitting in the same bed with Lu Ning, today is the first time.

"What trespass and don't trespass, I'll ...... go"

"Ah......" Mrs. Hua Rui didn't dare to interrupt Lu Ning's words, but she was too frightened to listen, and her slender jade hand subconsciously stretched out, but she seemed to realize that the person in front of her was not the former Shu lord, and she didn't dare to cover Lu Ning's mouth with her snow-white little hand.

Lu Ning smiled, grabbed her soft and boneless little hand, put it on his mouth, and said vaguely: "Do you want to cover my mouth and stop me from talking nonsense?" You can do whatever you want......" But when he spoke, between his lips and tongue, he couldn't help but touch the delicate and fragrant long fingers of Madame Blossom, and his heart immediately fluttered.

Qingcheng was on the side, but Lu Ning made such an ambiguous move, and Mrs. Hua Rui couldn't help but blush.

Lu Ning had already laughed, his left and right arms, and took the two of them into his arms, one was a beautiful girl with golden branches and jade leaves, and the other was a beautiful woman who exuded infinite style, and they were all the same gentle and docile, and this left and right were held in his arms, which was really indescribably comfortable.

Mrs. Hua Rui and Qingcheng were both held by Lu Ning on their chests, their pretty faces were close at hand, their beautiful eyes looked at each other, and their pretty faces were flushed immediately, and they buried their heads sideways in Lu Ning's chest, no longer looking at each other.

"Hua Rui, I originally promised you to go with you to see Jiancheng, but I was too busy with things, so I could only let you go by yourself, I heard, you didn't recognize him?"

A few days ago, Mrs. Enzhun Hua Rui went out of the palace to see her younger brother, but after hearing the female official's report, Madame Hua Rui just looked at Xu Jiancheng from a distance for a while and returned to the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty is gracious, the concubine doesn't know how to repay it, I just hope that there will be an afterlife, and I can serve the lord before." Mrs. Hua Rui, her voice was inaudible, she was in front of Qingcheng, telling her gratitude, and she was still faintly ashamed in her heart, but her gratitude to Lu Ning was sincere.

She saw that her brother was doing hard labor, tired and sweating, obviously, in the eyes of the younger brother, he had lost all support, and his sister was nowhere to be found, most of them were dead, and now, he could only rely on himself and live as a coolie.

Mrs. Hua Rui was distressed and wept, and was about to meet her, but it can be seen that her younger brother's swarthy body is getting stronger and stronger, obviously, she is no longer the gambling ghost of the past, she stopped again, her brother has just been born, or, wait for a while, wait until he is really determined.

Mrs. Hua Rui also understands the good intentions of the Son of Qi who occupied her in the past, and now the good intentions of the Holy Son of Heaven in her mind, where is she not grateful in her heart?

Listening to Mrs. Hua Rui's heartfelt voice, Lu Ning was even more happy, and at this moment, the outside reported that the Queen Mother had arrived.

Lu Ning came out, but saw his mother crying and crying, and with the support of the female officer, her steps staggered a little, "Your Majesty, son, I heard that you have cut your ambition and made you suffer!" "Trembling, I came to see Lu Ning's crown hair.

Lu Ning sighed softly in his heart.

Just in the Ming Hall Prayer Temple, I took it upon myself to cut off my long hair.

Mingtang, the place of worship to heaven in the Zhou ceremony, is the Temple of Heaven in the later generations.

Lu Ning cut his hair, and specially stated that he was not a pre-Northern Expedition to cut his inventions, but said that "the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it", which is the meaning of cherishing the body, and it must not be cut.

At that time, the cabinet ministers who rushed to hear the news were dumbfounded, and the imperial historian was even more kowtowed.

As for the "cutting of the invention will" that my mother heard about, it was the female officials who said this in order to appease her.

Rao is like this, my mother is already distressed, and it seems that she can't walk steadily.

After all, nowadays, the inability to really cut hair short is not only because of the interpretation of "the body hair and skin, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety".

It is also because, in today's thinking, cutting off one's hair may cut off one's spirit and spirit, which is a serious damage to one's body, and if you can't say it, you have to live a few years less.

In fact, among the people, there are already net hair clubs, but they are only "wearing hair beards", repairing them slightly, thinning them and so on.

It's definitely not like this, click a cut, cut the long hair into short hair, of course, my current short hair is also relatively speaking, not the short hair of later generations.

But to say that the short hair of this dynasty, it is not uncommon nowadays, the earliest is the craftsman, in order to do the convenience of work, Donghai Baixing under his own instruction, the craftsman hair cut short, but at that time the craftsman was mostly a slave status, cutting hair is like an additional punishment, and no one cares.

Later, it was a freelance craftsman, and also found that short hair is easy to take care of and wash, dirty work is tiring, even if you don't wash your hair often, there are fewer fleas and lice in your hair, and short hair is much more convenient than long hair shampooing, the first batch of short-haired craftsmen, I didn't see anything, and they are used to short hair, so there are many freelance craftsmen who take the initiative to cut hair.

However, although the status of craftsmen has been greatly improved, in the eyes of scholars and even farmers, they are still lowly and have not made any big waves.

In addition, in the army, the slave department was the first to cut hair, and then the palace army, the same is, the palace army is the emperor's ministry, from a certain point of view, when the army was first formed, it was no different from private slaves, yes, the act of cutting hair did not cause criticism.

Later, in the forbidden army, there were also soldiers who learned to keep short hair, and found that the benefits of cutting hair can even be reflected during training, and there are more and more people who lose their hair in the forbidden army.

Of course, whether it is a craftsman or a forbidden army, there are hair cleaning institutions, and it is very convenient to cut off long hair.

But in the same way, the army system is relatively closed, and the wind of the forbidden army has not set off any waves, and the scholars have not reacted much to the soldiers, except for looking down on these so-called barbarians, after all, the soldiers who can fight are good soldiers, not to mention, the forbidden army is a royal private army, who dares to criticize indiscriminately?

And Lu Ning has long wanted to cut his hair short.

Although my metabolism is very slow, and my long hair doesn't seem to have grown at all compared to seven years ago, I have long felt that it is very awkward to wear this long hair, and I am not so refreshed, especially in summer.

Cutting hair, is yesterday suddenly the intention, found that today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, so it is very solemn to prepare, in the temple of prayer for their own cut, of course, cut off the long hair, is also very solemn personally sent to the temple collection dedicated to the ancestors of the three generations.

This kind of behavior is inevitable.

The Northern Expedition is imminent, and the matter of cutting his own hair will soon be diluted by the development and changes of the war in the north.

If the Northern Expedition is successful, all kinds of haircuts, it is not worth mentioning, after all, many people nowadays believe in their own books, rather than the ancient sages, in the eyes of these knowledge-hungry readers, they are the real saints, after all, their own writings, the exploration of the world, many can be confirmed in reality, not ethereal words.

As a result, hair cutting gradually becomes a free thing, whether it is long hair or short hair, it is also good to stay free.

In some industries, if you have to have long hair, it is too inconvenient.

In fact, even if the farmer has short hair, it is better to be easy to clean, especially under today's sanitary conditions, it is almost the norm for farmers to have lice and fleas on their heads, and then the long hair is tied into a ball, and the stinky fumigated hair pile that cannot be washed once in a month or two is simply a louse nest.

Of course, in the previous dynasty, sharp scissors were still available in the elegant hall, and now there is no condition to really cut the hair of farmers, after all, the net hair club in the capital, trimming a hair beard, it costs dozens of hundreds of words, which is not something that farmers can afford.

If farmers want to cut their hair, most of them have to rely on their own farming tools and have enough food and clothing by themselves.

But that's all for later.

And if the Northern Expedition fails, all kinds of domestic contradictions will inevitably erupt, and it doesn't matter to what extent those who cut their own hair or not, in it, will become a crime against themselves.

Yes, after thinking about it, Lu Ning came to Yonghe Palace today and held a grand ceremony to pray for the sky to fall.

Seeing his mother faltering at this moment, Lu Ning sighed in his heart, and could only hug his mother, smiled and comforted: "It's okay mother, I asked the heavens yesterday, and the northern expedition will be smooth sailing." ”

Originally, when talking to God, Lu Ning was used to a bit of a sarcastic joke in later generations, but his mother and concubines gradually believed it to be true.

Lu Ning was also helpless, but he also had some excuses for acting like this, just ask the heavens.

Seeing Lu Ning's relaxed demeanor, the Li family breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the heavens really have an omen, and the son is not making it up for his own relief.

"That's good, that's good, my mother should go back quickly and put on a few more incense plants."

"Yes." Lu Ning respectfully agreed, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse that Mrs. Hua Rui and Qingcheng were also secretly looking at their hair crowns from time to time, obviously, they had long felt that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to look closely.

These two docile concubines, Lu Ning couldn't scold them, so as not to scare them with jokes, so he could only helplessly let them peek, as if he had become some rare species.
