Chapter 225: You Saved Me!
Guan Zhuofan has been worried about this Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" for quite some time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At present, among Guan Zhuofan's many identities, the first one is the "imperial husband"; Although the emperor is his "wife", the emperor is the emperor, not the Fujin, and among the three outlines and five constants, the "monarch is the minister" is above the "husband is the wife", therefore, whether it is legal theory or the outline, he is subordinate to the emperor, not the emperor is subordinate to him - he is the emperor's "dependent", not the emperor is his "dependent".
His Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" is the emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet".
Nothing to do with the North Street and its hostess.
What is Guan Zhuofan worried about?
Of course, it is not because his Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" cannot be placed in the north street of Chaonei, and he cannot have a candlelight dinner with this sister-in-law and that sister-in-law, and laugh lowly.
Guan Zhuofan was distressed by Dunrou.
His Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet", Dunrou can not have a feast, it is unimaginable.
The dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important meal of the year, if Dun Rou can't eat this meal with her husband - if this meal is eaten by Guan Zhuofan alone, it is fine, the question is that he is not eating alone, he is eating with another woman - one of Dun Rou's most memorable women - if so, how strongly will Dun Rou be stimulated?
The relationship between husband and wife, which seemed to have warmed up just now, will immediately fall back into the ice cave, and I am afraid that I will never be able to climb out again.
However, what identity and what name do you use for Dunrou and Banquet?
The emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" is a real "family banquet", except for the emperor himself, the banquet is attended by the emperor's wife and sons, empresses, concubines, and minor princes and daughters.
Adult princes and princesses, the branches of the palaces, and the surrenders of the surrenders, cannot be feasted with.
If there is still someone on the emperor's "top" - the queen mother, then this "family banquet" will be added to the queen mother.
Other than that, no one else is eligible to eat this meal.
The Emperor is a special case among the special cases, and there is no need to consider it.
It's a woman today, but it doesn't matter, remove the "concubine" and replace the "queen" with the "imperial husband".
The problem is, alas, this "imperial husband", in addition to the emperor, also has a "wife".
And for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, this "right wife" must eat with her husband.
The imperial husband has no doppelganger method, so the emperor's "family banquet", this "wife", had to come to join in the fun.
So, the question is, as I said earlier, what identity and what name does this "wife" use to participate in the emperor's "family banquet"?
Although Dun Rou and the emperor serve the same husband, but the relationship between the two of them in the patriarchal law is cousins, there is nothing else, cousins participate in the cousin's "family banquet", there is this truth in the world?
How can we turn this theory around?
Belch......
Okay, let's not talk about this for a while, anyway, I can't think of it for a while, let's talk about the seats first-if it is a banquet, may I ask, how should this seat be arranged?
Under normal circumstances, the emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" is placed in the Qianqing Palace, and the seats are as follows:
Above His Majesty, before the throne, remove the imperial case and replace it with the golden dragon banquet table - this is the emperor's.
On the left side of the Golden Dragon banquet table, there is a banquet table for the queen, which is slightly southwest.
Under His Majesty, it is the banquet table of the concubines, two rows on the left and right, the first table on the left is the most respectful, the second is the first table on the right, and the second table on the left again, and so on.
From the emperor to the concubines, they are all one person and one table.
Minor princes and princesses are in principle at the same table as their biological mothers.
There are also princes who are underage but have a long stature, and they have their own table, but they must be next to their biological mother.
If there is still someone on the emperor's "head" - the empress dowager, then the emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve "family banquet" is mainly to serve the empress dowager.
The location was changed from the Qianqing Palace to the Cining Palace, and the "top" was in the center, which was the banquet table of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor's banquet table was located on the left side, parallel to the banquet table of the Queen Mother; The queen's banquet table is located on the right side, facing slightly southeast.
"Bow down", the banquet table of concubines and minor princes and princesses is as mentioned above.
The above is "under normal circumstances".
Is the "situation" not "normal"?
First, the emperor is a woman.
Second, she has a husband.
Third, uh, let's not mention that this husband has another wife, let's talk about the emperor's "head" - but not only one queen mother, but three of them!
It's not an ordinary abnormality, it's simply ...... The first thing in the ages is abnormal.
The three empress dowagers are lined up, and on the left is the emperor's seat - in fact, it is equivalent to the "four palaces" lined up.
The queen was replaced by the royal husband, but the imperial husband could not sit in the queen's seat.
The queen and the emperor are "enemies" and can "sit side by side", so the banquet tables of the queen and the emperor are basically parallel, but the queen's banquet table is slightly sideways to show the difference between the top and bottom.
The emperor is the emperor, but he is not an "enemy", the emperor is the king, the emperor is the minister, and the relationship between the emperor and the minister is serious, so the emperor gets to "bow down" and sit in the seat of the concubine - that is, the first seat on the left.
The problem is that the emperor no longer has the rest of the "concubines", and the emperor and the imperial husband have not yet given birth, so the whole "lower head" is the imperial husband alone.
As mentioned earlier, some people think that the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the inner court, "the emperor, the three empress dowagers, and the concubines of each palace must have a banquet with each other" - this is not right, the current "concubines of the palaces" are not the concubines of the emperor himself, but "concubines of the former dynasty" and "concubines of the imperial examination", and in the system, there is no reason for "concubines of the former dynasty" and "concubines of the imperial examination" to sit at the same table with the emperor of this dynasty - even if the emperor is a woman.
Well, in this case, let's imagine that there is a huge Cining Palace, and the "four palaces" are lined up on the "top", which is magnificent; "Down" is the emperor's lonely person, this picture, hehe, isn't it very emotional?
It's really how awkward it is, how awkward it is! How embarrassing, how embarrassing!
Eating this meal, with the five people of the banquet, not only tastes like chewing wax, but also feels like sitting on pins and needles, right?
This is still in the case of Dunrou without a banquet.
If Dunrou and Yan - regardless of what identity and what name she is with the banquet - her banquet table is nothing more than two places, one is placed opposite Guan Zhuofan, that is, the first table on the right; One is in the same row as Guan Zhuofan, placed next to him, that is, the second table on the left.
We don't know if Dunrou has any opinions on these two positions, but the emperor "above" must have opinions!
The emperor looked over at the "top", whether the banquet table was placed opposite Guan Zhuofan or next to Guan Zhuofan, the two of them were "a couple" - okay, I was alone at the "top", and the two of you made up a "pair" at the "bottom"?
Why!
If so, it is probably not Dunrou who is "so strongly stimulated", but the emperor.
Alas, what to do?
Guan Zhuofan thought of four or five plans back and forth, but they were all overturned by himself one by one, and in distress, he even had such a thought for a while, "Forget it!" Don't hold this Rausch Chinese New Year's Eve 'family banquet'! β
However, he also knew that if he didn't do it, of course he couldn't do it.
I had to brainstorm ideas.
The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet of the Inner Court was normally hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Baojun, as the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also attended the meeting.
In the end, Bao Jun's idea is more reliable.
"Wang Ye," Bao Yun said, "Before the Tongzhi Dynasty, the emperor, empress, and concubines of various palaces passed on meals on weekdays, and they all passed on their own meals, and only on a few major festivals could they eat together, and the reason why the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the inner court was important was to take the word 'reunion'." β
After a slight pause, "However, there is no problem of each palace passing its own meal on weekdays, so I think that the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the inner court does not need to do too much on the word 'reunion' - as long as you change your thinking, things will be easier to do." β
"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan's eyes lit up slightly, "Pei Xuan, please tell me more!" β
"Now there are three empress dowagers 'above,' Bao Yun said, "If you say to make a fuss, you should make a fuss about the four characters of 'Ci Wei Chenghuan' - the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the inner court, the idea makes the three 'empress dowagers' happy!" If you put your efforts on the four words 'Ciwei Chenghuan', please think about it, who is Chenghuan? How can you be happy? β
"Who's going to be happy?" Guan Zhuofan's heart moved, "You mean...... Daughter? β
"Ahh Baojun said, "Emperor Mu Zongyi is gone, the three queen mothers, aren't they just two daughters?" A present, a princess of Dunrou? Princess Dunrou entered the palace and had a banquet, and it was her daughter who wished the emperor her mother, which was justified! In this way, isn't there an identity and a name? β
"Ah......h
"As for He Chenghuanβ"
After a brief pause, Bao Jun continued, "It's nothing more than the words 'do what he likes'!" Please think about it, what do the three queen mothers like on weekdays? β
Ci'an and Cili don't seem to have any special hobbies; Cixi, her hobby is well known.
"You mean...... Drama? β
"Not bad!" Bao Jun said, "If so, there is no question of seating - you have to face the stage to watch the play, right?" When the time comes, the three queen mothers are in the middle, and the two daughters, one left and one right, the emperor is left, and Princess Dunrou is right, isn't it? Don't delay the meal - listen to the drama while eating at the same time! β
Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but pat his thigh lightly, "Okay! β
Then, after a slight hesitation, he asked:
"That'...... What about me? β
Several people in attendance laughed.
"The prince is a son-in-law," Cao Yuying said with a smile, "I had to be wronged and find another room to listen to the play." β
Xu Gengshen said bluntly, "Yes, since you are not in the same room, the prince is here, and there is no 'seat' trouble at all!" β
"Yes!" Wen Xiang also smiled and said, "As long as the prince is present, he is not in the same room, it can be regarded as a 'banquet'; β
If you think about it, it is!
Guan Zhuofan nodded again and again, "Okay, good!" β
"Also," Bao Yun said, "since this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in the inner court is mainly based on Sheng's song powder 'entertaining relatives', not the previous banquet pattern, then the concubines of each palace can also be piggybackedβthere is no need to be stuck with them being concubines of the previous dynasty, anyway, on Chinese New Year's Eve, they were originally going to come over to ask for peace for the three empress dowagers." β
After a pause, "Besides, there are more people listening to the play, and the venue is more lively, and the three queen mothers must be happier - more like a New Year!" β
Guo Songtao said, "Yes, this is the meaning of 'mercy and joy'!" β
"What Yunxian said is," Bao Jun said, "Also, the more people listen to the play, the more blurred the pattern of the feast will be, and the matter of the emperor, the prince, and the princess of Dunrou will become more and more inconspicuous." β
"Well, that makes sense......"
After a deep groan, Guan Zhuofan said, "It's just...... Chinese New Year's Eve the drama, this ...... Is it appropriate? β
"There is no inappropriate topic of 'entertaining relatives'," Wen Xiang said, "There is nothing inappropriate, back then, in order to please filial piety and the happiness of the queen mother, Emperor Xuanzongcheng also appeared in person!" β
It's true.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe is not Xuanzong's biological mother, but Xuanzong serves filial piety and the Empress Dowager to filial piety. Filial piety and the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday, the frugal Xuanzong was widely spread, in addition to various grand celebrations and feasts, but also in Cining Palace to spread the opera, Xuanzong, who was 54 years old at the time, actually put on the "line", on stage to sing the "24 filial piety" of the "Lao Lai entertainment pro" play.
Xuanzong's appearance is very Taoist and academic, his gestures are very clumsy, and his singing voice is even more incomplete, and the Queen Mother is amused to lean forward and backward.
Among the congregation, Wen Xiang was the most square one, and even he said that "there is nothing inappropriate", that is, there is really "nothing inappropriate".
"Yes!" Bao Yun said, "In fact, in the usual family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the inner court, it is also necessary to pass on the promotion of the Ping Department to sing 'Ying Cheng play', but that kind of play, no one likes to watch, if Wang Ye wants to really 'Cheng Huan', instead of perfunctory 'Ying Cheng', then it has to be passed on to the outside team." β
"Ah...... Yes," Guan Zhuofan said, "I don't know how to act, but ...... As it should be. β
Similar words, Cixi and Dunrou have told him, and this is indeed the case.
After a little silence, Guan Zhuofan said in a decisive tone: "Since you want to be lively, let's simply make it more lively - all the famous characters in the 49 City row have been passed on!" Belch...... Here, there is also the meaning of 'revering merit and repaying virtue'! However, seeing that there are only a few days left, Pei Xuan, if it is done in a big wayβcan it be done? β
"It can be done."
After a pause, Bao Jun added in an affirmative tone, "Although the prince can rest assured, the people in the Internal Affairs Office have no other skills, and they still have this ability." β
"Good!"
"It's just that if it's a big deal," Bao Jun said, "the place of Shufangzhai is a little narrow, how about changing to the Changyin Pavilion of Ningshou Palace?" The place is big, and the 'curtain removal ceremony' is also held in Ningshou Palace, this, all the way down, the meaning of 'revering merit and repaying virtue' is also more intense. β
Guan Zhuofan said again: "Okay! Then he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and arched his hand, "Pei Xuan, everything please!" This time, you really saved me! β
