Chapter 127: Premarital phobia
The eunuch on duty was dumbfounded, except for His Majesty and the prince, there was no other man in the inner palace. Their clothes, Qin Fei wore them to death, and the rest were eunuchs......
Qin Fei was very free and easy, and he didn't think it would be okay to put on eunuch clothes, so he said, "Forget it, don't scare him." There's nothing wrong with eunuch clothes, isn't it just to wear them on your body for a while? I'll go find one and I'll change it, wash and dry my clothes and I'll be fine. ”
The eunuchs were overjoyed when they saw Qin Fei talking so well, and the eunuchs on duty reprimanded: "Why are you smirking? Immediately go to the treasury to find a set of unworn ones to change for Qin Zhendu, hands and feet are sharp, within half an hour, if the clothes can't be dried, even if the first father-in-law doesn't want your little life, our family will each beat you with twenty rods. ”
When these words were spoken, the eunuchs were shocked, they were all crippled, and twenty rods were enough to kill people. They ran faster than rabbits one by one, their hands and feet were more neat, and in a blink of an eye, they found a set of clean eunuch uniforms to change into for Qin Fei, and ran to wash Qin Fei's clothes with a fan.
There was some chaos in the imperial dining room, and Qin Fei said to the eunuch on duty: "I'll go out for a walk first, and come back in half an hour to change clothes, and my father-in-law doesn't have to be too embarrassed by the little father-in-law, in my opinion, even if it takes another two hours, Your Majesty may not have time to summon me." ”
The eunuch on duty said gratefully: "Governor Qin Zhen is really the prime minister's belly that can support the boat, and in the future, he will definitely be a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the Great Chu State." It's just that our family wants to ask Governor Qin Zhen, don't tell your father-in-law about soiling your clothes......"
How could Qin Fei not understand his thoughts, nodded with a smile, and went out to walk around by himself.
For those who live in the palace, the palace is nothing special, but it is a very large estate. Even if there are flowers and stones from all over the world, they are not as beautiful as nature. The majesty of the sea is absolutely impossible to see in the palace, and the spirit of the mountains is comparable to a star-picking tower in the palace? As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is difficult to go out, and you are the emperor, but you are not as good as those idlers in the mountains and fields, you can go anywhere you want freely. They are like birds in a cage, they eat the best and enjoy the best, but they always feel that something is missing......
However, for a person like Qin Fei who came to the palace for the first time, it was still an eye-opener.
The well-paved paths, the craggy and strange rocks, the green and clear streams, I don't know how many skilled craftsmen can build such a palace, and I don't know how many generations of emperors have continuously invested and repaired to have the glory of today's Eastern Capital Imperial Palace.
Qin Fei looked at the scenery in the palace, and unconsciously walked to a small stone bridge, which was already some way away from the imperial dining room, and there were colorful lights hanging on the stone bridge, illuminating the water flowing below. Qin Fei leaned lazily on the stone bridge, leisurely breathing in the quiet air of the night.
Suddenly, a reprimand broke the silence of the night sky: "What a little eunuch with no rules, who is the chief eunuch with?" ”
Qin Fei looked back and saw a girl in palace clothes standing at the head of the bridge, she was gorgeously dressed, her face was delicate, her long hair was waist-length, and she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Qin Fei hurriedly explained: "It's the first father-in-law...... just now."
"Oh, it turned out to be the little first son in the imperial dining room." The girl snorted coldly: "Xiao Chuzi has been very popular with the queen mother recently, and he is very arrogant in the palace." Even the little eunuch who followed him became unruly......"
"You misunderstood, I just entered the palace today......"
Before Qin Fei could speak, she was interrupted again by the girl, she took two quick steps and approached Qin Fei's side, her small and tall nose sniffed, revealing a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be the little eunuch who just entered the palace today, no wonder there is no such thing as those pickled people. Taste it. You just came to the palace and don't understand the rules, this princess can not blame you, but tomorrow, there will be a eunuch who is the master of ceremonies to teach you etiquette and behavior, if you lose your temper like this, you will be dragged to play the board. ”
Qin Fei knew that she had misunderstood, and she was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, and she couldn't wash it even if she jumped into the river. Listen to her call herself 'Princess Ben'. Qin Fei looked at her curiously, and slowly spoke, "Is this Her Royal Highness the Princess?" His Royal Highness didn't rest in the palace late at night, why did he run out alone, and he didn't have a eunuch and a palace maid with him, if I remember correctly, the princess is not allowed to act privately, and there must be at least one personal palace maid and a small eunuch by her side. Could it be that Her Royal Highness the princess secretly ran out to relax? ”
The girl was screamed by Qin Fei, she was a little flustered, and reprimanded inwardly: "This princess can go wherever she wants, why do you have to take those people with you?" What do you know as a young eunuch who has just entered the palace? Don't talk nonsense, otherwise this princess will tell Xiao Chuzi and let him beat you hard. ”
Qin Fei smiled slightly, oh.
The princess looked at Qin Fei in a circle, and said regretfully: "You are young, you look good, you are tall, what can't you eat?" Why emasculate yourself as a eunuch. Is it that the family is particularly poor and has many brothers and sisters? What about parents? ”
Qin Fei began to have a headache when he thought of the extremely difficult Lei Lei, and sighed leisurely: "There is a brother who is not a brother, and a sister who seems to be a sister." Mom has passed away a long time ago......"
"It's a pity...... the princess sighed faintly, "Don't stand here without rules and distances, if you are seen by the eunuch of the celebrant ceremony, you will be in trouble." ”
Qin Fei said with a smile: "Then His Highness ran out by himself and was seen by the eunuch of the celebrity, wouldn't it be troublesome?" ”
The girl's face turned red: "I'm just coming out to breathe, and I've been living too hard lately." I have to practice a lot of etiquette every day, it's just unbearable, and if I follow those nasty guys around me, I really want to jump. But you, a little eunuch, are quite interesting, knowing that I am His Royal Highness, and you dare to talk to me in such a tone? ”
Qin Fei smiled secretly, and said in his heart, what is a princess, I still drink with your brothers, and I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north.
"What kind of etiquette do you want to practice?" Qin Fei didn't answer and asked, "Hasn't royal etiquette been learned since childhood?" ”
The princess sighed faintly: "Almost a year ago, when the princess had just turned sixteen, the household department Shangshu proposed marriage for her son, and the father approved this family business, and the wedding date was approaching." Isn't it the same as a royal wedding? Especially this princess is the first princess of this generation of royal family to marry, everything has to be done in a big way, the Ministry of Rites specially formulated the wedding according to the ancient rites, there are many rules, and even every step can not be wrong, every day has to rehearse, I can't bear it. ”
"Listening to the princess, it seems that she doesn't want to marry at all." Qin Fei asked in surprise.
The princess blinked, looked at the clear water flowing slowly under the bridge, and said lightly: "If you want to marry or don't want to marry, how can I be a woman who can make the decision?" For hundreds of years in the royal family, which woman has married according to her wishes? What's so good about being a royalty? If it is a son, it is inevitable that he will have to fight over that chair; If it is a daughter, it is a bargaining chip to weigh the major forces in the DPRK and China. As a bargaining chip, you must have the consciousness of a bargaining chip, even if you marry a barbarian in northern Xinjiang, you can also exchange for a period of peace, and this bargaining chip is worth it. ”
The girl in front of her is even younger than herself, but her tone of voice is so vicissitudes, vaguely unwilling, but she can't fight against fate, especially comparing herself with chips, how many people can understand this kind of sadness? Outsiders only see that the dragon sons and dragon girls have no worries about food and clothing, wear gold and silver, and are born with a respected status, but how many people have experienced their pity?
"But it's better to get married. You know, I've grown so old that I haven't left the palace except for an occasional visit to Luming Mountain. Don't leave the boudoir, every day is to eat, sleep and sleep, go to various palaces to ask for peace, occasionally sisters get together to flutter butterflies, and there are few opportunities to play leaf cards. If you really want to get married, you can also walk around and see the great rivers and mountains of Dachu......"
Qin Fei smiled dumbly: "If you want to be beautiful, if you get married, you have to teach your husband and children, and if your stomach doesn't move for three months, outsiders will start to gossip." You can't move in the year you have a baby, and when you have a child, you can't leave. Look at the ladies of the Tang Mansion and the Guanfu, which one can go wherever he wants? ”
The princess lost her voice and said, "Then I didn't go from one cage to another?" ”
"The worst thing is that according to the practice of Da Chu, after the princess got married, she lived in the Horse Mansion. However, the horses can only live at home, and they meet once a month, and the horses cannot take concubines. Later, the horses ran to look for flowers and willows, or they would make a mess with the maids at home. The princesses are alone in the empty room, and they will inevitably be lonely. I remember that there was not a princess in the previous dynasty, there were too many faces, and she lost the face of the royal family, and the first emperor had no choice but to let her become a monk. Unexpectedly, after becoming a monk, he still did not repent, and had a hot fight with the pilgrims, and finally had to die. ”
"As for those colts who can't stand loneliness, because of the problem of men and women, those who were finally cut off and beheaded, three or five slaps are too many to count."
Qin Fei looked at the princess with a smile and said softly: "So, you must have enough mental preparation, don't marry and make mistakes." ”
"You are so terrible...... princess said, "Dead little eunuch...... Don't scare me, or I'll take you to the celebrant." ”
Her wonderful eyes turned on Qin Fei's face, and she suddenly smiled: "I see that you look good, in the palace, I have to remind you." Don't be seen by Thirteen, otherwise...... You know the bitterness. ”
"Thirteen?" Qin Fei asked suspiciously.
A light approached in the distance, and the face of the eunuch walking in front could be faintly seen. The princess turned her head and glanced at it, and said with a pause: "I really can't say bad things about people behind my back, say Thirteen, and she will really come." I'll go first, you'd better run quickly......"
