Chapter 137 The Son of Heaven, the Sky Lantern, the Sky Light
"The Emperor laughs at me," said the Emperor with a smile, "what do I know?" Didn't he tell me that? β
It's not right to say this, the emperor is not an ordinary person, the Holy Son of Heaven is faint and faint, and he knows thousands of miles, how can he be humble casually? Not to mention the "What do I know?" "--I don't understand anything, how did I come to the emperor?
As for "Isn't this what he said to me" - hey, it seems that the emperor's words and deeds are all at the behest of "him"!
If so, wouldn't the emperor become a ...... Puppet?
I don't know if Ci'an felt that the emperor's words were inappropriate? In short, his expression was as usual, "It's not a joke about you, it's a benefit!" Butβ"
Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Zhuofan, then turned back to the emperor's side, and smiled, "I actually don't blame him, he hasn't distinguished himself, why are you in it?" Well, it's obvious that it's a small couple, and the son is protecting his husband! β
The emperor's face turned red as soon as he "brushed", and after a short pause, he shouted softly, "The emperor's mother!" β
Guan Zhuofan is not good and doesn't speak anymore. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Back to the Queen Mother," he said calmly, "After the enthronement ceremony, and then enter the queen mother's throne, in fact, it is Concubine Ligui's own meaning, she always said that the court system is important, and the emperor is still young, therefore, all related matters, I would rather be tight and strict, and never leave a 'trespassing' handle for the emperor in her place." β
Although Ci'an was honest, she also knew that this would not be the original words of Concubine Ligui - with her knowledge, she could not say such a thing. However, he naturally didn't say anything on his face, nodded his head, and said: "Sister Li has always understood the general situation and taken the overall situation into account, so I had to wronged her for a few days - anyway, it won't be a few days before the enthronement ceremony." β
"Yes."
Ci'an turned to the emperor, looked from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, sighed softly, and said: "This look, it looks good, it's just ...... Suddenly it changed, and it was a little ...... Well, just now, the first time I saw it, it was a little ...... In a trance! β
Although Ci'an's words were tactful, the emperor and his wife knew what they meant? The emperor looked at Guan Zhuofan and said softly, "You give Huang Eniang back, right?" β
Guan Zhuofan bowed slightly and answered "yes".
Straightened up, "Back to the Queen Mother, since the emperor is the emperor, he must no longer comb the 'flag head', the 'flag head' is not only the woman's 'flag head', but also the 'flag head' of the family, the emperor is a woman, but it is the son of heaven, not anyone's family - you must say that if you are a family member, I am the emperor's family member." β
Ci'an pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's this Li'er." β
"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "The Son of Heaven shepherds all the people and sets an example for the people of the world, this 'people of the world', there are men and women, old and young, therefore, although the emperor is a woman, he wants to eliminate the difference between men and women, which is why the emperor's 'court clothes' still use the style of the previous dynasty and do not change." β
"Hmm."
Guan Zhuofan slightly accentuated his tone: "The court uniform remains the same, this is the reason; This is also the reason why the 'flag head' is going to change. β
After a pause, "Well, or to put it another way - although the emperor is a woman, he is the son of heaven, as mentioned earlier, it is 'shepherding the world', not 'the mother of the world', this 'mother of the world'...... From now on, it will all depend on the three queen mothers. β
"That's right," Ci'an smiled slightly, "The emperor doesn't have an empress, only the imperial husband, 'mother's honor in the world' or something, and there is no way to count on the imperial husband, I can't say it, this messenger has to be done by our sisters and sons." β
The emperor "fluttered" and laughed out loud.
Neither she nor her royal mother noticed the inappropriateness of this joke - it didn't matter if she used "Mother Yi" to switch Zhuo Fan's joke; But with the addition of "under heaven", it is not appropriate.
The queen and the royal husband are actually not comparable - the queen is under the courtiers and is the king; The royal husband is still a minister, or a minister.
The imperial husband said with a comfortable expression: "Queen Mother Shengming! β
"'Qitou' is this reason," Ci'an said, "'Flower pot bottom', even more so is this?" β
"Yes, Queen Mother Shengming!"
After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued, "Since I changed the flat-soled shoes and the hem of the flag suit, I can't help but cut it shorter, otherwise, the skirt will be mopping the floor and it will be difficult to move." β
"Well, yes," Tzu An nodded, "it's justβ"
As he spoke, he looked at the emperor, "I looked, the clothes on the emperor's body were not only shortened, but they seemed to be ...... Narrowed a bit? β
"Yes," the emperor replied this time, "if it is only truncated and not narrowed, it will not look right, look at it...... It's just a 'square'. β
"'Square'?"
"It's just a square," the Emperor gestured with his hand, "and the four sides are generally long." β
Ci'an smiled, "That's not going to be ...... However, yes, it is only truncated, not narrowed, and it is not so pretty. β
The problem is that this "good-looking" brings up a problem that seems to be very serious.
The emperor's waist is faintly visible.
The normal flag outfit, straight up and straight down, has no waist.
This is the "subtle but significant change" that the princes and ministers who knelt down to greet did not notice because of the cover of the great man.
There are some things that Ci'an is worried about, but there are some things that he can't say in front of eunuchs and palace maids, nor in front of the emperor, so he had to stop the words of "flag outfit" for the time being.
"This piece of jewelry is good-looking," she looked at the shiny "crown" on the emperor's bun, and asked with some curiosity, "However, this bun does not need a hairpin or a flat square, and it is held by such a piece of jewelry, is it reliable?" β
"Back to the emperor's mother," the emperor smiled and touched his hair, "It's not just this 'headband', there are a lot of tricks in it, and it's very troublesome. β
"Okay," said Ci'an with a smile, "then I'll wait for an eye-opener." β
*
Coming out of the Zhongcui Palace, the emperor should be in his own bedroom.
This is the first time that the emperor is in the capacity of the emperor to the imperial Qianqing Palace, solemn, can not go through the side door, Luan drove along the road, walked through a whole long street in the east, passed the day Jingmen - the east gate of the Qianqing Palace without entering, out of the inner left door into the heavenly street, turned right, to the front of the Qianqing Gate.
The left, middle and right doors of the Qianqing Gate are all opened, Luan drives from the middle gate to enter, through a long and wide, the base of the royal road is as high as several feet, the imperial chariot carries up to the Dan Majesty, and finally arrives at the terrace in front of the Qianqing Palace, stops.
Huang Yujing, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, had already led a group of deacons of the Qianqing Palace to kneel on the terrace.
The emperor got down, waited for the eunuchs and palace maids to salute, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Get up." β
This gesture of raising his hand is quite polite for the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, under normal circumstances, only princes and important ministers will get such a "courtesy", therefore, Huang Yujing stretched the throat of the male duck and said loudly: "Slave thank the emperor for his grace!" He led a group of eunuchs and palace maids, kowtowed again, and then stood up.
The emperor did not mean to enter the main hall immediately, turned around, looked out from the terrace, and showed a rare faint emotion and a look of amazement on his beautiful face.
Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "Did you remember the situation of the family banquet?" β
The Emperor turned his head, his eyes shining with surprise, "Yes! How do you know ......?"
After saying half a sentence, he stopped, his eyes flowed, and an inexplicable sense of happiness filled his heart, which was really ...... There is no one who knows me more than my husband!
Well, then, how does the imperial husband know the emperor?
Because, the imperial husband knows that the emperor's memory and impression of the Qianqing Palace are almost equal to the word "family banquet".
Although the Qianqing Palace belongs to the category of the inner court, since Wenzong and Muzong do not use it as a dormitory, the Qianqing Palace only has the functions of holding ceremonies, convening major state meetings, and the office of the royal secretariat - the upper study and the south study.
Therefore, as a princess, within a year, there were only two opportunities to enter the Qianqing Palace, and both times the emperor held a family banquet - one was a family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and one was a family banquet for Wanshou.
However, this "family banquet" is not what the Qing court dramas described in later generations: under the emperor, the queen, concubines and princes gathered together, or eyebrows, or there were bones hidden in the words, you threw it to me, and I threw it to you. There is a difference between men and women, and the wives of the emperor will never eat with adult male royals.
The real situation is that the "family banquet" on Chinese New Year's Eve is a "family banquet" in the true sense, and under the emperor, the members present are limited to the empress, concubines, and minor princes and princesses.
The "family banquet" of longevity is like.
The emperor and the clan relatives, during the Chinese New Year, will also hold a private nature of the "song banquet", however, this "song banquet" is not contained in the "Qing Dynasty Huidian", let alone female members to attend, under normal circumstances, this kind of clan relatives to participate in the "song banquet", will wait for the New Year's Day, placed on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.
"When I was young," said the emperor, "I was especially looking forward to the Chinese New Year, and I was especially looking forward to the longevity of Huang Amma, not for anything else, but only for these two times a year, to be able to have a serious meal with Huang Amma." β
In fact, Wenzong also had a lot of meals in Yonghe Palace, but only Concubine Li was the "accompanying meal", not Li Niuer. If the emperor "stays" in Yonghe Palace, the eldest princess must be taken away, accompanied by her grandmother or palace maid, and eat alone.
"That's right," Guan Zhuofan nodded, "Reunion dinner." β
"Yes, reunion dinner!"
The emperor's eyes were shining, "Let's take the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eveβ"
After a pause, "Starting from the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Qianqing Palace will be set up here."
As she spoke, she gestured slightly, "From the moment you enter the Qianqing Gate, the entire imperial road, all the way to the Dan Majesty, there are 'sky lanterns' on both sides, and every night, the 'sky lanterns' must be lit, even in Yonghe Palace, they can all be seen - not the 'sky lanterns', but the Qianqing Palace, the whole hall is bright!" β
"Therefore, at the end of each year, starting from the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, my heart is like hiding a little mouse, itchy and uncomfortable!"
Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, you are the emperor now, according to the previous rules, I am the only one in your serious "family", but the family banquet of the Qianqing Palace clearly contained in the "Great Qing Huidian" cannot be just our husband and wife? I don't know what the pattern of this year's "family banquet" in the Qianqing Palace should be?
Well, it's time to start using your brains.
"Also," the emperor was excited, "behind each 'longevity lantern', a pair of 'longevity treasures' must be hung, and the words on the treasures are embroidered with gold wire, embroidered on both sides!" The lights shine on it, sparkling, ouch, it's very beautiful! β
Speaking of this, there was a look of excitement on his face that only a child can have, "At that time, I especially loved to see this Baolianer and Jinzier!" Once, I was fascinated by it, and I stumbled and fell on my own. β
Guan Zhuofan smiled, "You didn't fall and hurt yourself, did you?" β
"No," said the Emperor, "a child is weak, and he falls a little, and where can he be bruised?" It frightened the mama who took me, but fortunately, no one else saw it. β
After a pause, he sighed softly, "I just think that at that time, the entire Qianqing Palace was just a big lantern, and even the stones were translucent!" β
"At that time, when the family banquet was almost over, it was very uncomfortable - as soon as it was over, I had to go back to Yonghe Palace! Although Yonghe Palace is also full of lights, how can it be as bright as Qianqing Palace? As soon as I returned to Yonghe Palace, I felt that the whole person was empty, and I couldn't sleep well - anyway, I had the impression that when I was young, there was no year when I was young, and I could sleep well on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve! β
Speaking of this, he turned his head to Huang Yujing and said, "Huang Gong......"
A "gong" word exited, knowing that it was inappropriate, quickly stopped, "Huang Yujing, you are the old man of the Qianqing Palace, the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, about what I said, right?" β
Now that he is the emperor, how can he still call the eunuch "father-in-law"? -- In addition to the people in the palace of the Empress Dowager, who respect her lord and respect her servants, you can also call the most prominent one or two people "father-in-law" or "sister", and other eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City, regardless of age, have to call them by their names.
"The emperor's memory is great!" Huang Yujing said, "That's the case! β
paused slightly, "However, when it comes to 'Liangtang', the 'Liangtang' of Yonghe Palace is different. β
"Different?" The Emperor asked curiously, "I don't know, well, what is the 'different' method?" β
"Back to the emperor," Huang Yujing said solemnly, "How many years, the people in the palace have said in private that in the middle of the night, the lights are turned off everywhere, and everywhere is dark, only Yonghe Palace is still brightβ"
After a slight pause, "It's not the lights - the lights of Yonghe Palace are also out." β
