In the opinion of Aunt Ru, the conversation between Mrs. Qin and the Queen Mother really shrouded the Xinuan Pavilion of Ci'an Palace with an unprecedented layer of tension, although the princess of the former dynasty who was dressed in a first-class edict dress was extremely standardized in etiquette, and there was no half of the grand and domineering transgression.

So much so that Aunt Ru doubted that this was really "seeking justice" for Concubine Qin, as the Queen Mother guessed?

For example, the aunt stood behind the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but look at the princess in front of her with her hands on her knees and sitting slightly sideways on the embroidered pier with her eyes quietly again.

Nine crown hairpins, a pair of temples each inlaid with nine pairs of flowers, the bright gold and jade hair ornaments are more and more lined with the two temples like frost dye, the black snail depicts the eyebrows are blue and flat, and the long sideburns are not to the sideburns.

She sat there, and the bright sunlight shone obliquely on the vermilion trim of the placket, gilding the embroidery with a layer of bright color.

The wide Zhai clothes are more and more lined with pins and bones, embroidered with two pairs of Zhai birds' knees, the wide cuffs reveal the thin fingertips, the nails are not stained, and the dull and gray color is shocking.

The corners of her lips smiled slightly, and she politely answered the Queen Mother's concern about her illness.

For example, the aunt silently lowered her eyes and sighed, and then looked at Concubine Qin standing beside Mrs. Qin, although her face was just right, her eyebrows and expressions were still difficult to hide mean and cold, at least on the surface, she was far less calm than the sick and broken Mrs. Tai.

It is said that Concubine Qin was raised in front of this lady, and was raised by the standard lady of the Dongming Dynasty, and what she learned was only from the arrogant and lonely of the Dongming royal family, and the bearing and cultivation of a noble girl are far from the same, not to mention the leisure and chastity that a woman should have in the Dongming Dynasty.

For example, the aunt lowered her eyes again, and was wondering how Mrs. Qin would seek justice for Concubine Qin if she went down like this, and finally heard that the Queen Mother seemed to be a little impatient, but those who are not familiar with it could not notice the tone: "You have not entered the palace for many years, and the mourning family has not seen you for decades, since you are here today, there is no need to be formal, many old people have been absent over the years, and today we will talk about the old." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be disturbed by Mrs. Qin's thoughtful etiquette, and she was slightly impatient, as her aunt thought.

But listening to Mrs. Qin's stereotypical tone, she suddenly softened: "The concubine obeys the order...... This Ci'an Palace seems to be the same as it was at the beginning. ”

If the aunt's eyebrows moved, coming, Mrs. Tai finally couldn't help but start to face the princess's shelf, the queen mother saw that she had just fallen slightly, was it just to retreat as advance, intending to force out Mrs. Qin's innate arrogance and domineering?

It seems that Mrs. Qin's cultivation is only superficial, no wonder she will cultivate a "different" Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin is not a princess, but she thinks of herself as high, she should be influenced by the words and deeds of this lady, and thinks that her bloodline is noble, if Dongming is not dead, she is the granddaughter of the princess of a country, and everyone surnamed Yu is a courtier, not to mention the current nobles, who are different from her.

When the country changed its surname, the so-called dignity and humility of course had to be reversed, if it was said that this lady had been living in her own delusions, and it was understandable that she was unwilling to be sober in mourning the former honor, but Concubine Qin was born in Dalong and grew up in the new dynasty, but she was affected by her grandmother's obsession and learned the so-called royal arrogance that was nondescript, which is ridiculous.

The Queen Mother had calmed down at this time, her smile stretched, and she was still turning the red sandalwood beads in her hand: "What remains unchanged is always carved and jade, and what changes is always only the vicissitudes of personnel." ”

responded to the emotion of Mrs. Qin, the old lord of the court, very literarily and artistically.

Mrs. Qin also smiled to herself: "The concubine remembers that it seems to be the first time I saw Niangniang at the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu banquet. He bowed his head firmly: "Since then, the honorable prince has returned to his hometown, and decades have passed by in a trance." ”

For example, the tips of my aunt's eyebrows moved slightly.

The Queen Mother has the meaning of "talking old" first, and Mrs. Qin is no longer euphemistic and polite, and her words are all about showing her honor, so as to suppress the Queen Mother's posture - she said "it seems", which refers to the Dongming Dynasty, the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet at the noble women gathered, she is the princess of Dongming, but she can't remember whether there is such a queen mother among the nobles, and it is ironic to propose that the father of the queen mother returned to his hometown, and it is obvious on the surface that the Yan family was a courtier of the Dongming Dynasty.

The Queen Mother naturally understood the meaning of Mrs. Qin's words, her heart was cold, but she was silent, and admitted frankly: "It was at my aunt's grandmother's birthday banquet, the mourning family was still young at that time, less than ten years old, I remember that Mrs. was already in time, and after the aunt's Qianqiu banquet, the mourning family returned to Jinling with my father and ancestors, and more than 50 years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

The Yan family was a wang family in the Dongming Dynasty, not the queen of Dalong, the grandmother of Emperor Mourning, the Empress Dowager Duanhui, was the daughter of the Yan family, and the Empress Gaozu of Dalong was only a concubine, but she was already qualified to marry the Yu family as the eldest son and wife.

Mrs. Qin thought that the Queen Mother was subdued by the "old things" she sighed about, and her smile deepened: "The concubine remembers that the princess was deeply trusted by the elder brother back then, and the official worshiped the official department. ”

In the mouth of the lady, the elder brother is the Emperor of Mourning.

The Empress Dowager Duanhui is the wife of Emperor Wu, but she is not a match, and the eldest son who is in the storage position is not the Empress Dowager Duanhui, after the death of the crown prince, the third prince of Duanhui was established as the prince, and Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne after the collapse, and the son of Duanhui succeeded to the throne for ten years, and the temple number was Xianzong; Empress Xianzong had no children, and at that time, there were courtiers who urged Emperor Wu's concubine, that is, Xianzong's half-brother Xiang Wang as the king, and it was the Yan family, the Yu family and other clans behind Duanhui who strongly supported Xianzong's concubine, that is, Emperor Wai's accession to the throne.

Although the Empress Dowager Duanhui knew that Emperor Wai was stubborn and useless, she was really a helpless choice, and she couldn't see the country fall into the hands of the concubine of King Xiang, and Xianzong only had the only seedling of Emperor Wai.

Emperor Mourning ascended the throne, gave the queen to death, destroyed the queen's whole family, and reused the Xiao party for the sake of establishing the Xiao family, which caused a voice of opposition from the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven then went on a killing spree, so that the blood flowed like a river.

The Empress Dowager Duanhui knew that the Dongming country was stormy, and in order to protect the family, she meant that the Yan family would withdraw from the court and return to her hometown.

Sure enough, not long after, the Yu clan was slandered by Xiao Xiangjin as a traitor, leading to the disaster of exterminating the clan.

Yu Xingbang heard that his father's family had died tragically, and raised troops in Chuzhou.

Xiao Dang originally wanted to punish the Yan family, but Emperor Mourning still had admiration for his grandmother, and this time he was not manipulated by Xiao Xiang.

The Yan family's ability to keep safe is indeed the credit of the Empress Dowager Duanhui, but now Mrs. Qin is saying that it is a satire of the Yan family's disobedience and betrayal of the emperor.

Mrs. Qin was exerting pressure, trying to subdue the Queen Mother in momentum and then get to the point, but Concubine Qin couldn't understand her grandmother's intentions, and felt that it was pure nonsense to say that these Chen sesame seeds were rotten grains, but she didn't dare to intervene rashly when the elders were gossiping about old things, and she gradually turned red on the side and burst into tears.

If the aunt didn't pay attention to it, she couldn't help but secretly laugh at Concubine Qin's obviousness, but Mrs. Tai didn't notice her granddaughter's inappropriate behavior because of her upright sitting posture, and the Queen Mother saw it, but she didn't notice it at all.

only responded with a smile: "Back then, only Xiao Xiang covered the sky with one hand in the court, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all decorations, and Xiao Xiang was enough for major national affairs." ”

is obviously ironic - Emperor Wai used traitors to be loyal and upright, which is the cause of the destruction of the country.

Mrs. Qin's face was finally slightly pale, and the smile on the corner of her lips faded.

The Queen Mother then stuck a knife in Mrs. Tai's heart: "Back then, the military and political affairs, presumably Duke Qin had more experience. ”

Qin Gong refers to Qin Huaiyu's father, who was the one who raised his arms and united with the Dongming family to force Emperor Mourning to abdicate, but before this, the Qin family also made concessions and compromises to the Xiao Party in order to consolidate their power and protect their family status, otherwise they were afraid that they would be wiped out by Emperor Wai, and later Mrs. Qin, the princess, married Qin Huaiyu, or the Xiao Party pulled the strings.

The ridiculous thing is that the Xiao Party became more powerful and began to suppress the Qin family, and the Qin family had no way to retreat before choosing to rise up, not caring about this noble princess at all, when the Emperor Mourning committed suicide, he even gave up fighting to let the Dongming clan rule the world again, but welcomed the Chuzhou army into Beijing, and served the surname Yu as the mainstay, which laid the foundation for the Qin family to be prominent in the past forty years.

The Qin family is the biggest betrayer of the Dongming royal family, but Mrs. Qin is the wife of the Qin family, if she really has integrity, why not martyr the country when the country is destroyed, but she has survived until now, and she is trying in vain to suppress the current queen mother with the grace of the previous dynasty.

Mrs. Qin slowed down for a while, and then suppressed the unwillingness and resentment that had accumulated in her heart for half a lifetime, and maintained a gentle tone: "The Queen Mother is right, how can the women of the inner house know the political affairs of the monarchy, and it is the concubine who is presumptuous." The topic changed again: "The concubine knows that she is a descendant of the dead country, she has lived in the depths for many years, has not socialized with people for forty years, and does not know much about today's etiquette and etiquette. ”

Concubine Qin's name is Yi, Mrs. Tai's words are finally gradually getting into the topic, but between the words, she is still pushing the old etiquette system, and the words and deeds of the woman who are open to Dalong's current folk customs contain irony, pointing out that today's etiquette is not strict, and her granddaughter is pursuing the orthodox etiquette.

For example, my aunt is only in her twenties, born in the new dynasty and taught the new system, and has not experienced the era when the family and the noble daughter of the noble family collided fiercely because of the different etiquette systems at the beginning of the founding of the country, but she heard her biological mother talk about the past, and even heard that her grandmother had counted the harsh and terrifying strict dogmas of the Dongming Dynasty.

is mean and arrogant, but it is not in line with the morality and etiquette of the previous dynasty.

If the aunt thinks again, if the daughter of the family really thinks that the strict and strict dogma is orthodox, why is it gradually assimilated by the daughter of the noble, if it is still vulgar, the woman should not step into the second door, live quietly in the deep house, and have to obey the ten years old and have no banquet at the same banquet, let alone meet the foreign man, or like now, after getting the permission of the elders, invite to enjoy the scenery, go to the street and the market, and the Fang Lin banquet and tea poetry party can also "look at each other" with the Lang Jun, paving the way for marriage.

If the Dongming royal family really respects the law of etiquette and is strict in their bodies, how can there be an absurd and unscrupulous mourning emperor?

The Queen Mother was born in the late Eastern Ming Dynasty, and also received the harshness of the time, but she was the most rebellious and unconventional-when she returned to Jinling with her family, she heard that Gaozu raised troops in Chuzhou, and the Yan family was also worried about being implicated by the Yu family, although her father and ancestor also secretly supported the Chuzhou Army, but did not take the initiative to take refuge, but lived in the remote field of Ningxiang, and lived a period of hidden name and indisputable days, despite this, the Queen Mother also felt that the family was too tightly disciplined by women, especially when she heard that her cousin, that is, the eldest princess, could gallop on the field, I don't know how much envy.

The Queen Mother herself is a "traitor" of the old customs and etiquette, so she naturally scoffs at Mrs. Tai's words.

But sarcasm still has to be tactful.

The Queen Mother bowed slightly: "The mourning family still remembers Princess Shengqing, who is the most dignified and elegant lady." ”

Mrs. Qin's chest swelled with qi and blood.

For example, my aunt only heard that Princess Shengqing was originally the eldest granddaughter of Wuzong, but she was born to the second prince of Wuzong, and was later named a princess and passed on to Xianzong.

But I didn't know that half a year after Princess Shengqing was born, the third princess concubine gave birth to a son, who was the later Emperor Wai, and this is the sister of Emperor Wai's mother, Princess Xiao Shengqing was three years old. I don't know that Mrs. Qin has always been jealous of her eldest sister, and Princess Shengqing later died of a violent illness, which was Mrs. Qin's actions.

The Empress Dowager Duanhui is the aunt and grandmother of the current Empress Dowager, and she knows well about this royal secret.

At this time, it is nothing more than a sarcasm that Mrs. Qin is definitely not a qualified lady, and she is also a vicious and insidious evil woman who plots to kill her sister-in-law, not to mention the requirements for ladies when etiquette was strict.

The Queen Mother turned a blind eye to the ups and downs of Mrs. Qin's heart, and her smile did not change: "Mrs. is too modest, I see that Qiniang of your mansion has been taught and managed very well. ”

For example, although the aunt didn't understand the Queen Mother's previous sentence, the latter sentence could be figured out and cleared, and smiled slightly, the Queen Mother was using Qin Qiniang to block Mrs. Tai's mouth, if she was still polite, Qin Qiniang's trip was deviant and ruined, I was afraid that she would be cut off by the family with a three-foot white silk, and only when the Dalong folk customs were open, the etiquette was lenient, and there was not so much oppression and harsh criticism for women, Qin Qi Niang's trip would not be criticized by others.

The Queen Mother has already gained the upper hand, and Mrs. Qin is at a loss for words.

At this time, Concubine Qin couldn't help but sob, and Mrs. Tai's patience was exhausted, and she finally took her edge tactfully, and two sharp traces appeared on the corners of her lips: "Concubine body, may I ask the Queen Mother, how much did Ah Yi commit before she was sent back to Guining by His Royal Highness, and the royal family didn't ask?" ”
