Ci'an pondered for a moment and said, "There are some things that are not easy to say in front of the emperor...... As for you, don't think I'm verbose, just let me worry about nothing......"

"The minister doesn't dare," Guan Zhuofan bowed slightly, "If the Queen Mother has any orders, please say it clearly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I think," said Ci'an, "that the emperor's hair ornaments and clothes have been changed to ...... Well, it's pretty good! What is your reasoning, too...... Uh, that makes sense! It's just, it's just ......"

After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "I'm afraid that some people still can't turn the corner, muttering below, saying ...... 'change the ancestral system'!" After all, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and he is being pointed at behind his back, will this ......?"

After a pause, "Well, I think, hair accessories and clothes, after all, are not as important as the telegraph and the railway, do they have to ...... In such a hurry to change? ”

Alas, sometimes, in the eyes of some people, hair accessories and clothes are more important than telegraphs and railways.

In a sense, though, it's also true.

The concept of the relationship between the clothes and the crown, the change of the clothes, that is, the change of the concept, the change of the clothes, the concept of the change. Even if there are telegraphs and railroad gods, if you don't change your brains, you still use your old brains to play new tricks, and the effectiveness of the new tricks will be greatly reduced.

Ci'an has a hazy understanding of the truth of the "concept of the relationship between clothes and crowns", otherwise, he would not have expressed concern about the change of the emperor's clothes, "it doesn't matter so much", in fact, it is a euphemism, and the meaning has to be reversed.

Of course, she still doesn't understand the truth of "using old brains to play new tricks, and the efficacy of new tricks will also be greatly reduced".

"Queen Mother, please rest assured," Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "If you want to say 'change the ancestral system', 'flag head' and 'flower pot bottom' are 'change the ancestral system'; ”

Yes?

"Huh?" Ci'an was stunned, "This ...... How so? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "Rong Chen will come one by one." Let's talk about the 'flag head' first - before entering the customs, where was there such a thing? At that time, the hair ornaments of the banner women were nothing more than two kinds, one kind of comb bun - unmarried bun, out of the pavilion bun; A kind of braid, unmarried dreadlock, out of the pavilion braid. ”

After a pause, "Mo said that there was no 'flag head' such as 'big wings' before entering the customs, that is, after entering the customs, at least, before the Jiaqing Dynasty, there was no such thing!" ”

Ci'an's mouth opened slightly, looking incredulous.

Guan Zhuofan's words are too ruinous to ruin the three views-

What the? Before the Jiaqing Dynasty, there was no such thing as a "flag head"?!

Sister Ci'an has always thought that the "flag head" she combed was ...... "since ancient times"!

Aren't all Qing court dramas played like this? What's going on?

What's going on? Nonsense.

Of course, our sister Ci'an has not watched the Shenma Qing Palace drama.

"When did the 'flag head' originate," Guan Zhuofan said, "it is impossible to test, but the queens of the past dynasties have painted their royal appearances, and all of them only wear auspicious clothes and do not wear phoenix crowns. ”

Yes......

Really......

"Among them," Guan Zhuofan said, "there are also those who wear regular clothes or even civilian clothes—then it is even more clear, for example, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen." ”

Empress Xiaozhuang Wen......

Yes, Ci'an remembered that Empress Xiaozhuang Wen had a portrait of a casual dress, which was "braided" - with long braids on her head.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Ci'an said "ouch" three times in a row, and at the same time, involuntarily, gently touched his "flag head", and said in a tone of full amazement:

"I really didn't expect it! This 'flag head' is not only not the ancestor's 'crown', but also not many years old! I really didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! ”

After a pause, he said in a puzzled tone: "Then, how did you come up with such a 'flag head'?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan smiled, "It's nothing more than that the place for the 'big wings' is big enough to hang jewelry on it—as many as you want." ”

Ci'an thought about it, touched his "flag head" again, and smiled, "Your words are a little damaged, but ...... If you think about it, that's really the case! ”

After a pause, "By the way, I remember, in the second year of Xianfeng, Emperor Wenzong gave me an edict, which roughly means that in the court, simplicity comes first, and now, below the queen, the costumes of the harem concubines are too gorgeous and not in line with the rules of Manchuria, so, well, 'it is to use custom to follow to perpetuate'." ”

"The 'customized' is very detailed, for example, the hairpin is not allowed to use all the emeralds; when combing the hair, it is not allowed to wear tassels, butterflies, head ropes, and red tassels; When wearing a hat, it is not allowed to wear tassels, butterflies, and it is not allowed to decorate large hat flowers - there are no tassels and live inlays on the hat flowers. ”

"Also, on the ears dug up, it is not allowed to wear all kinds of flowers and longevity; Earrings are only allowed to use hooks, not flowers and tassels; Small ear clamps, not allowed to point emerald, not allowed to carve, and so on. ”

"Emperor Wenzong is frugal and respectable," Guan Zhuofan praised, "The Queen Mother's memory is also very good!" ”

In fact, Wenzong's nature is to love luxury and enjoyment, and he is not qualified to accept compliments such as "frugality and respectability", but the young emperor who has just ascended the throne always has a vigorous and exciting atmosphere.

Ci'an smiled: "At that time, I had just been crowned the queen, so I was particularly impressed by this edict. Also, it's all about women's families, so it's easy to remember! ”

After a pause, "In the fourth year of Xianfeng, Emperor Wenzong issued another edict, saying, the edict in the second year of Xianfeng, well, 'there is still something unprepared', and it has to be explained more clearly-I think about it, well, 'the cotton autumn collar usually worn, no lace, tapered edge, and green satin edge'; and ...... 'when combing hair, only two flowers are allowed to be worn', and so on. ”

Guan Zhuofan was secretly surprised, and said that Ci'an was not smart, but she remembered the content of these two edicts so clearly?

It can be seen that the ruler is short, the inch is long, and people are always relatively good at the things they are really interested in - as Ci'an himself said, "women's family affairs".

In the second year of Xianfeng, she was only sixteen years old, and Xianfeng was four years old, but eighteen years old, no matter how "frugal and respectable", teenage girls also have a natural interest and hobby in clothing.

"Jinling was the third year of Xianfeng and fell to the long hair," Guan Zhuofan said, "the second year of Xianfeng, the fourth year of Xianfeng - when Emperor Wenzong issued the above two edicts, the situation was the most difficult, and the military of the imperial court was the most scarce, therefore——"

Speaking of this, Guan Zhuofan stopped.

Ci'an's expression became serious, he pondered for a while, and said, "I understand what you mean—Wenzong issued these two edicts not only to clean up the palace, but more importantly...... Lead by example, be diligent and thrifty, save money and food, and spend it on the soldiers on the front line! ”

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

"Well, the current situation," said Ci'an, "is not as good as the second year of Xianfeng and the fourth year of Xianfeng—more than ten times better!" However, there are also many places to spend money seriously - one is to run foreign affairs and build railways, and the other is to prepare for war against France. ”

After a pause, "I think, the emperor changed his hair accessories, is there also a ...... Uh, what did you say, what is the purpose of 'setting an example for the world'? - Without the flag head, there is no place to 'hang' those jewelry! This is a 'bottom of the kettle's plan!

Guan Zhuofan stood up and bowed slightly, "Queen Mother Shengming!" ”

This sentence "Queen Mother Shengming" comes from the bottom of my heart and is sincere.

"It doesn't change the ancestral system, but it has great benefits—"

After a pause, Ci'an's eyes were shining, "I see, this hair ornament of the emperor can be changed, and it should be changed!" ”

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

"That being the case," Ci'an gently touched his "flag head" again, "This 'flag head', don't say the emperor, it is the queen mother, and it should be changed!" ”

Yes?

This...... But I didn't expect it!

Sister Ci'an, it's terrible!

"Queen Mother...... Shengming! ”

However, as soon as the words came out, Ci'an regretted it, not for herself, but for herself - there are two queen mothers! I haven't asked the two of them what they mean, and I can't speak for the two of them!

She smiled awkwardly, "Well, what I just said was probably ...... Uh, I'm in a hurry, whether the queen mother will change the 'flag head', this, I still have to discuss it with the 'west' and the emperor's mother, uh...... Again? ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously gently helped his sideburns.

This is the fourth time Ci'an has done this.
