The Queen Mother pulled me and said a conversation, I came out of Cining Palace, at this time the sky was getting dark, the attacker sent a chariot to pick me up, I rode on the chariot, when I arrived at Kunning Palace, I saw another two people in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, that should be Ronggui, I thought sullenly, I used to see in TV dramas that the concubines were stripped in their own palace and then carried into the Qianqing Palace by the eunuchs, but this is not the case.

There was an institution in the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty called Jingshifang. The Jingshifang is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its most important duty is to manage the affairs of the house, and the so-called "person who is in charge of the emperor's intercourse".

The affairs of the emperor, the empress and the concubine are all managed and recorded by the eunuchs of the respectful room. The emperor and the queen had sex once every time, and the chief eunuch of the worship room had to write down the year, month and day in case of future pregnancy to check and verify. The emperor had sex with his concubines, and the procedure was very complicated. At the end of each day's dinner, the chief eunuch presented a large silver platter, which contained dozens of "green signs" painted green on the top and pink and white on the bottom, each with the name of a concubine written on it. On this day, if the emperor has no sexual desire, he will say "go"; If it's a little interesting, take out a brand, turn it over, turn it up, and put it on the plate, which is called "flipping the brand".

On the east and west sides of the apse of the Yangxin Palace, there are enclosed houses where the concubines temporarily live. The plaque of the five palace rooms in the east is the room where the queen lives when she sleeps, and the plaque "Yanxi Hall" in the west five palace rooms is the room where the imperial concubine lives when she sleeps, and the other concubines can only live in the rest of the group rooms. The east and west sides of the two halls are also connected with the east and west enclosures, and the back wall of the junction is auspicious and wishful, and it is very convenient for the concubines to go back and forth between the east and west six palaces. The enclosure of the Yangxin Hall tightly encloses the Yangxin Hall in the center, forming a pattern of courtyards in the courtyard, which is convenient for the needs of the emperor's "court" and "sleep". In normal times, the emperor could not spend the night in the palace of the queen and concubine. If the emperor needs which queen and concubine to accompany him, it is up to the head of the worship room to wait for the flop at the emperor's dinner. The concubine who was fortunate enough to be summoned did not go back to her palace that night, nor could she sleep with the emperor all night, so she could only sleep in the east and west rooms of the apse of the Yangxin Palace and the surrounding group rooms. At that time, when the emperor is asleep, he will first go to the chuang, cover the quilt to the ankle joint, and expose his feet; The eunuch had already stripped off the concubine in the enclosure, then wrapped himself in a large cloak and carried it all the way to the palace, then ripped off the cloak and put the concubine on the bed. The concubine crawled into the quilt from the exposed "dragon claw", that is, the emperor's feet, and then "interacted with the emperor".

At this time, the eunuch withdrew from the room, and waited outside the window with the head of the worship room, waiting for the matter to be completed. In order to prevent the emperor from dying of a stroke, after a little longer, the chief had to sing outside: "It's time." "If the emperor is in high spirits and pretends to be deaf and dumb, he will shout again." If so, "the third", the emperor could not delay any longer, but had to "stop the courtesy" and beckon the eunuch into the room. After the eunuch entered, the concubine had to face the emperor and climb out of the quilt upside down. When the monarch and the ministers meet each other in the court, and the courtiers retreat, they can't turn their backs and face the emperor with their backbones, but they have to face the emperor and move back, which is called "but". The "concubine" can't even take the backbone to face the emperor, so she can only climb out of bed like this. The eunuch wrapped her cloak again and carried her out of the door. The steward then came in and asked, "Do you want to stay?" "The emperor said to stay, so he took out a small notebook and recorded the emperor's concubine at a certain time in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, and a certain time; If he said that he would not stay, the chief manager would come out, find a certain acupuncture point between the concubine's waist and thighs, and rub it slightly, "then the dragon essence will flow out", and artificial contraception will be implemented. If contraception is not successful, you have to make up for the abortion, because there is no record of intercourse in the notebook, and it is done in vain.

This "inhumane" archiving system was learned by Emperor Shunzhi from the Ming Dynasty to restrict "the prostitution of children and grandchildren". The emperors were certainly not satisfied with this "ancestral system", but they could not change it at will, so they tried to circumvent it. Later palaces such as the Old Summer Palace did not have to pursue an archival system.

I came back to my senses, I had arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, I waited for Laixi to open the curtain, but there was no movement for a long time, I lifted the curtain and came out, but I saw Laixi standing aside in a daze, I gently walked to Laixi's side, patted his shoulder heavily, Laixi was frightened and jumped, and when I saw that it was me, I hurriedly knelt down: "Master......"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked curiously, Raiki rarely does this.

"Master, the slave has been distracted for a while, please punish the master." Although Laixi said this, he still looked like he was too imaginary.

After four or five days in a row, Shunzhi didn't come to Kunning Palace, Ronggui came again, still very excited, but the original ruddy little face was slightly haggard, obviously, it was "something" that was overdone, I was really jealous and angry, angry at Shunzhi who killed a thousand knives, what are you doing? Don't you want to die? Sooner or later, the kidney will be deficient!

Although I was angry, I still braided the knot with Qiushui in the morning, rain or shine, really! That's what a woman is! It's so sad! Every afternoon, I will go to Cining Palace on time to continue to talk to the Queen Mother about "Dragon Babu", a few days have passed, the knot has not seen progress, but the audience has unexpectedly increased, they are all palace people of Cining Palace, secretly lying at the door to listen. Lai Xi always disappeared when I chatted with the Queen Mother after I told the story to the Queen Mother, and when I was about to leave, I reappeared, and I didn't know what I was doing.

I didn't follow up, everyone has a little secret, does it?

After another three days, my knots have been braided, Shunzhi still hasn't shown up, I'm a little anxious, what memories can I have if I go on like this?

I woke him up helplessly, ordered him to go back to sleep, and then went to Cining Palace early with the attacker.

Today's finale of "Dragon Babu", I want to finish talking to the Queen Mother as soon as possible, and then think about how to create good memories with Shunzhi, I arrived at Cining Palace, because I had something in my heart, so I was a little absent-minded, just said the beginning, the Queen Mother withdrew all the palace people, grabbed my hand and asked with concern: "Is the Queen okay?" ”

I shook my head and pulled out a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little unenergetic, don't worry about the emperor." ”

"Then don't talk about it now. Hui'er" The Queen Mother asked me to sit next to her, "Can I call you that?" ”

I smiled: "When I came here, I was no longer the same person I used to be, I was already Hui'er." Cheng Tianlan...... This name is already far away from me. For some reason, I rarely think of my old name lately, as if I was Ronghui in the first place, because ...... Is it because Ronghui is Shunzhi's legal wife? So I hope I'm really honored?

The Queen Mother smiled with relief: "Hui'er, have you seen the emperor recently?" ”

Shunzhi? As soon as I thought of him, my heart was clouded, I pulled my head and shook my head, and the Queen Mother then said with some joy: "I heard that the emperor has turned over the glorious brand in the past few days. ”

When I think of this, my heart is even more sour, why? You haven't come to Kunning Palace to see me for so many days? Didn't you say that I would always surprise you? Now, have you lost interest in me? Or did you find something you're more interested in?

I forced my spirit and smiled reluctantly: "My sister can get the emperor's favor, and the emperor's mother should be happy." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor didn't like Ronggui very much, but recently, I don't know why, I suddenly changed my character, these days, Concubine Tong has complained to me several times." The Queen Mother glanced at me and said, "If Ronggui can conceive the dragon seed as soon as possible...... Hehe, look at me, I'm thinking far ahead. ”

Listening to the words of the Queen Mother, I really have mixed feelings in my heart, maybe because of the Queen Mother, the concubines from Horqin, none of Shunzhi likes them, which indirectly leads to the increasingly tense relationship between Shunzhi and Horqin and the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said slowly: "Ronggui, this child is cowardly, I told her a long time ago, if you want to capture a man's heart, we women can't resign ourselves to fate, and sometimes we have to take the initiative, but Ronggui just doesn't know how to do it, I didn't expect that now she has opened her mind, I really don't know what she can do to catch the emperor by her side." ”

Active...... Sortie? Oh, yes! I don't have much time, instead of waiting through the autumn water every day, it is better to take the initiative, thinking of this, I said to the queen mother: "Huang Eniang, the son forgot to do some things, go back today." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand to tell me to step back, as if she had known that I was leaving.

How should we "take the initiative"? I lay on the table in Kunning Palace and thought about it for a long time.

"Assault," I called.

The assailant walked up to me, "Master." ”

I thought about it and asked, "Where do you say the emperor can be at this time?" ”

The attacker smiled and said: "This slave doesn't know, but under normal circumstances, the emperor should be in the imperial study at noon." ”

"The Imperial Study?" I stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Study." ”

"Master," the attacker was startled, "without the emperor's summons, we can't go casually." ”

I frowned, why is it so troublesome, then ...... Ay? There are again.

I asked the attacker to find a set of palace maid clothes, and after changing into it, I pulled the attacker and sneaked out of Kunning Palace.

"Master," cried out to the attacker, who trotted after me, "let's go back quickly, how about letting others see you dressed like this?" ”

"It doesn't matter," I said nonchalantly, "how many people really know the Queen?" All they knew was the queen's clothes. ”

Wherever the queen goes, she is hugged from front to back, and it is difficult for people not to know, but the palace maids are different, so many palace maids, who will notice me.

I came to the range of the imperial study with the attacker without danger, and I saw Chang Xi standing outside the door of the imperial study from a distance, and it seemed that Shunzhi was really in the imperial study. Hey! Ideas are real!

I motioned for the attacker to call Laixi over, and when I saw that it was an attacker, I first took a look in the imperial study, and then walked towards us, and said as I walked, "Why did you come here?" What's the urgency? He came to us as he spoke.

"Chang Xi Father-in-law!" I raised my head suddenly and screamed sweetly, Chang Xi saw that it was me, was startled, and quickly pulled me into the corner, and said urgently: "My mother, why are you dressed like this?" ”

I didn't answer his question, pointed to the imperial study and asked with a smile, "Is the emperor himself inside?" ”

Chang Xi nodded, looked at me with a bitter face, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, "Niangniang, you wait for the slave first, and the slave will come when he goes." Saying that, Chang Xi turned around and entered the imperial study, and after a while, he came out, and there was an extra tea bowl in his hand, Chang Xi beckoned me to pass, I walked closer, and Chang Xi refilled the bowl with tea and handed it to me.

"Hehe," I looked at Chang Xi, "why are you so clever this time?" ”

Chang Xi said helplessly: "Since Niangniang has come here, even if the slaves stop her, Niangniang still wants to go in?" If the slave doesn't know the elephant anymore, I'm afraid that the mother will find trouble again. ”

"Hmmm! Hit the road! Looking at Chang Xi's depressed expression, I praised him, hehe, this is the benefit of having a relationship!

I turned around with a teacup and entered the imperial study, the imperial study is very spacious, the left and right sides are tall bookshelves, the bookshelves are densely packed with books, next to it is equipped with a wheeled car similar to a ladder, convenient to take books at any time, facing the gate is a bright yellow imperial case, at this time Shunzhi is standing in front of the imperial case and bowing his head to write something, Shunzhi is wearing a bright yellow regular clothes, the bright color makes him shine, looking at him, my depression in the past few days has been swept away, looking at him, I realized that I really, I miss him so much!

I gently walked behind Shunzhi and poked my head out to see what he was writing, but saw that Shunzhi was not writing, but drawing.

The painting is a picture of a lady, although the facial features have not been drawn, but look at the weak and slender woman in this painting, with the willow pendulum, extremely soft, it makes me have a sense of déjà vu, Shunzhi thought about it for a while, and began to add facial features to this painting, all said that Shunzhi's words and paintings are quite good, and when I see it today, it is only true.

"Put it down." Shunzhi opened his mouth lightly, but he was drawing with a pen in his hand.

I put the teacup in my hand on the table, the hand has not been withdrawn from the cup, Shunzhi has drawn the eyebrows and eyes of the lady's picture, Shunzhi painted very expressively, as if this painting is alive, I stared at the eyes that had just been depicted, my fingers couldn't help but tremble, "Bang Chang" The cup full of tea poured in response, it was her! The person in the painting is ...... Dark Cloud Beads!
