Chapter 13

The Zhao Kingdom is located in the west, and has been fighting with Xirong all the year round, making a late fortune, and is far away from the political, economic, and cultural center of the Xia royal family. Therefore, in terms of etiquette, it has always been criticized by the countries of the Central Plains.

When the Xia royal family declined and the etiquette collapsed, the Zhao Kingdom was even less exquisite.

For the convenience of the war, a few decades ago, the clothes of the soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom followed the example of the Hu people and changed to upper and lower trousers. With the increasing relaxation of the atmosphere, people also wear more practical deep clothes or robes in their daily lives.

Although the princes and nobles are still more traditional, the women are different!

Women love beauty, whether it is a deep coat, a robe or a skirt, it can better modify the curves of the body, and it also has a more covering effect. Compared with the "dress", there are two pieces of cloth before and after, and it is not allowed to be spliced and sewn, so you can't think of ugliness, you must take heavy things to press the hem of the clothes, and you have to be careful when walking, otherwise the clothes that will be gone out of the iron will look too good.

In addition, for women, truly solemn occasions, such as court meetings and sacrifices, do not require them to participate, and daily clothing can be less rigid. Ah Yu has never participated in similar ceremonies for marrying and canonizing queens, so he has never really come into contact with the "dress" thing.

When I saw her today, her face turned green.

The so-called "top and bottom", the feeling is to put a sack on the top and two pieces of cloth on the bottom, and you can't wear obscene clothes and pants inside!

Can this be the clothes that people wear? Shame on you!

It's okay for her to be young now, and a few years older......

Ah Yu immediately decided that the barrier of "wind" was open all the way today, and no matter what happened, these two pieces of cloth must be as if they were put together, and they would not move at all!

Not only now, but also in the future!

At this moment, Ah Yu suddenly hoped that Yin Changying would dominate the world as soon as possible, because Emperor Zhao would modify the etiquette of clothing. If she remembers correctly, since then, except for major events such as worshipping the heavens or wearing tops and bottoms, all other occasions, including the discussion of the last dynasty, have been dark robes.

She was wandering out of the world when she suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the courtyard, and her scalp suddenly ached.

The palace man who was in charge of combing her hair was scared half to death, and was about to ask for guilt, but the nurse saw that Ah Yu did not react, so she immediately made a look, and the palace man hurriedly continued immediately.

Ah Yu has no time to take care of these eyebrow lawsuits.

She could sense a very strong energy, and it was slowly coming this way.

The presence of this energy is so vivid, yet unexpectedly condensed, just like the majestic mountains and the vast sea, which cannot be forgotten or avoided.

It's Yin Changying.

How many hours has it been? Such a domineering power attribute, he can master it so quickly?

Ah Yu was puzzled at first, but soon, she thought that since the nature of the power reflected her own character, it was actually easy to understand that Yin Changying could easily control this powerโ€”could he feel that there was something wrong with his character? Of course not!

Since there is no vacillation and questioning, of course there will be no madness.

It immediately occurred to Ah Yu that the monster seemed to have a certain amount of sanity, but what it had done was not normal. If this theory is used, could it be that there is something wrong with the "Tao" of the monster?

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and at this time, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Shouyang walked in: "The Empress Dowager has an order to take the princess to the main hall and have breakfast together." โ€

As soon as Ah Yu heard the "breakfast", he wanted to sigh again.

In these years, whether it is the princes and nobles or the common people, it is a two-meal system.

But the difference is that the nobles generally have breakfast at four or five o'clock in the morning, and the common people at nine o'clock in the morning; The nobles had dinner at twelve o'clock at noon, and the common people at four o'clock in the afternoon.

This is mainly because the secretary wants to go to the court and discuss politics. Sometimes it is a day to stay outside, so naturally I have to have breakfast at home before coming. Anyway, if you are hungry at night, you can also have a banquet at your own house and eat snacks. And the people only have two meals a day, and they must be hungry to eat enough to replenish their strength and continue to work.

It's just that even the princes and nobles are quite indescribable.

Ah Yu looked indifferently at the breakfast in front of him: a small bowl of egg custard, two stacks of vegetables that were not so much seasonal vegetables as wild vegetables, were gone.

Of course, this is because during the national funeral, everything is simple, but even if it is usual, at most it is to add one or two stacks of salted meat, salted fish, and a bowl of sauce. The salt taste is so strong and the sour taste is so heavy that Ah Yu almost vomited it when he smelled it, let alone ate it.

Craving fresh meat? Either it's a festival or a hunting thing in the fall, and don't even think about it at any other time.

Even if Shaofu can breed cattle and sheep, they can't be killed and eaten every day, and there is not so much oil to spend on cooking - it is not enough to maintain ordnance!

And on the table in front of the Empress Dowager Shouyang, there was only one bowl of steamed wheat rice more than her.

As for how unpalatable the steamed wheat was, Ah Yu didn't want to remember, anyway, she only ate one bite and never touched it a second time. When she heard that the bean rice was even worse, she didn't have the courage to try it.

Of course, there is no shortage of good rice in the palace, such as yellow rice and millet, which are called millet and millet this year, and they can still be eaten when steamed. But this is a rare thing, only when there are major sacrifices, festivals, or when the king feasts the minister, and usually wants to eat it? Even summer can't be so extravagant!

Ah Yu can only rejoice that with the growth of strength, her need for food and sleep is much less than that of normal people, so she can barely care about these.

If you change your clothes to this era, it is estimated that you will first be tortured by "eating" and collapse.

People who are used to doing one thing and people who do something temporarily are in a completely different state. Even if Ah Yu didn't resist the nurse serving the meal, but the Empress Dowager Shouyang is such a person, at a glance, the nursing mother does not look like a journeyman at all.

She didn't expect Ah Yu to eat by herself, she just thought that the nurse was lazy and pushed this kind of trivial matter to other palace people to do, and couldn't help but think to herself, now it's okay, the reasons for taking Ah Yu to raise her are all ready-made.

At this moment, a waiter suddenly came: "The king is here." โ€

The Empress Dowager Shouyang was a little surprised, and the nurse was even more frightened to put down the bowl in her hand and retreat behind Ah Yu.

After a while, I saw Yin Changying slowly walking into the hall and saluting: "Grandmother." โ€

"Your Majesty, please be seated." The Empress Dowager Shouyang was very polite, "Come and set a meal for the king." โ€

Yin Changying stayed awake all night, but he didn't see the slightest tiredness, I saw him kneeling on the left side of the Empress Dowager Shouyang, and his tone was not hurried: "I just went to visit Grandmother Xia, and the imperial doctor made Grandmother Xia very old, and she suddenly encountered drastic changes, and she needed to recuperate. The queen mother's filial piety is commendable, serving her grandmother's side. โ€

As soon as the Empress Dowager Shouyang heard it, she knew that the first half of the sentence might be true, but the second half of the sentence was definitely false.

Who is Song Ji, the Empress Dowager Shouyang knows very well, when Yin Chu is alive, in order to keep her position, Song Ji may also make a filial daughter-in-law and make a good name. Now that Yin Chu is dead, Song Ji has become the queen mother in power, and will she still serve her mother-in-law? I'm afraid I don't even want to come to Yin Chu's funeral, right?

Oh, I see.

The Empress Dowager Shouyang understood.

Song Ji is afraid that she will really not continue to kneel for Yin Chu today, as a son, Yin Changying has no way to interfere with her mother's every move, otherwise it will be unfilial. But the day after her husband's death, the wife dared not go to the spirit. In the eyes of outsiders, what face does the Zhao royal family have to speak of?

Therefore, Yin Changying came to her on purpose to bring this matter over.

The Empress Dowager Shouyang thought that Yin Changying hoped that she would use her mother-in-law to suppress Song Ji and force the other party to participate in the seven-day kneeling spirit, but she heard Yin Changying say: "The queen mother is dedicated to serving her grandmother, and she has no time to pay attention to the trivial matters in the palace, and she hopes that her grandmother Shouyang will bother more." Grandmother Xia's condition was dangerous, and Lonely and Wang Mei were worried, so Wang Mei volunteered to be a witch and moved to the Witch Temple to pray for Grandmother Xia. โ€
