Leader Lan Palace

1946 Chapter 244 Volume [-] Ear Piercing (Six Thousand Bis)
The newborn child can't see anything yet, so naturally he can't tell who is his Ama.

But maybe the child has a memory of this voice in the mother's womb, so he can still carry this memory with him when he is just born; or it may be connected by blood... The emperor stretched out his hand to pinch the little hand of the seventh princess, and at that moment, it was over. It's wet.

Grandma Shouyue on this side is already kneeling and playing, saying that the three rites are done.

The emperor smiled and nodded, "You all have worked hard too."

After all, it's called a reward.

Led by Grandma Shouyue, all the women and servants kowtowed to thank them, got up and left.

Only Shouyue's grandma, Mrs. Wang, hasn't woken up yet.

Because Mrs. Wang was the oldest and most experienced among the women's servants, even the emperor was polite, so he asked with a smile, "Is there any worries, grandma?"

Wang shi smiled and knelt down, "It's a conventional way to say that the ceremony is complete. Because the master gave birth to a princess, there is another matter after the three washings."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang took out a small bowl from the wedding basket that had been predicted long ago.Inside the bowl is sesame oil that is fragrant for sniffling, and inside the sesame oil is an embroidery needle threaded with red silk thread.

Mrs. Wang replied, "Today, we should pierce our Seventh Princess' ears~"
.
Because the royal family of the Qing Dynasty came from outside the customs, many traditional customs were still similar to those of the nomads.For example, the matter of piercing ears and eyes is more concerned than Han people, and they say more.

Just like a girl's family must have three pliers in one ear, so three piercings must be pierced on each side of the ears and eyes.

This custom is related to the shamanism of the traditional belief of the Manchus: shamanism believes that people have three souls, namely the soul of destiny, the real soul and the wandering soul.

Among them, wandering souls are the most active, they can move away from the human body, and ear pliers can protect the wandering souls to ensure people's peace of mind, so the Manchu ancestors regarded earrings as spiritual objects for peace and evil.

Not only women have one ear and three pincers, but in the past Manchu ancestors, even men pierced their ears and wore ear pincers.Only after entering the customs and gradually accepting the culture of the Central Plains, did it change.

This custom is only passed on by women. After a little girl is born, her ears and eyes are pierced, which has become a grand ceremony for the Manchus.

The emperor smiled and nodded, "...serving."

Mrs. Wang let out a sound of "嗻", got up and took out two more soybeans from the hi basket, one behind the other to cushion Seventh Princess's earlobe.

This is to use two soybeans to thin the earlobe, and then inject the needle when there are only two layers of skin left, so that the child will suffer less pain.

But even so, Wanxi only took one look, then closed her eyes unbearably, and turned her head away.

Although she also has ears and eyes, she had pierced them when she was a child when she didn't remember anything, but now she just heard that she was going to pierce her daughter, so she couldn't bear to look at it.

She just said softly, "...be gentle, grandma."

Mrs. Wang laughed, "To reassure the master, how dare this old slave make Seventh Princess hurt."

"But later on, the Seventh Princess will inevitably cry a few times. Let the master know, the child may not necessarily be in pain, but will cry if he is worried or scared. Then I will ask the master to forgive the slave."

The more Wang said this, the more uncomfortable Wanxi felt.This made her close her eyes even harder, and could only nod her head vigorously, "... Grandma, just be gentle."

Then Wang saluted, and put the soybeans on the earlobe of the seventh princess one by one, and tried hard.

The little baby really instinctively sensed the danger, and the little hand was still in the emperor's palm, so he pursed his little mouth in grievance, as if he was waiting for the pain, and he was about to cry out loud.
.
Babies are still blind, so they can only fear based on their instincts; but adults can see for real.

Wanxi could still close her eyes tightly and turn her head away, but the emperor is a big man, plus the emperor, how could he close his eyes and avoid it.

Besides, his daughter's little hand was still in his palm, and he had to hold it tightly.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to exert strength, the emperor suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Mrs. Wang was startled and shivered. She had a good grip in her hands, but she was so frightened that she used it in advance.The two soybeans hurt the seventh princess, and the seventh princess burst into tears unceremoniously.

The emperor became a little anxious, "Bold slave, how do you serve him?!"

Wang-shi fell to her knees with a puff, her body trembling with fright.

Wanxi had no choice but to open her eyes, endured her reluctance, and instead persuaded the emperor softly, "Your Majesty... Xiaoqi's ears and eyes should be pricked anyway. Grandma Wang has been a grandma for so many years, so she naturally has the right hand. Son, the emperor might as well let go of his hands for now and sit outside for a while; or the emperor will go back to 'Jiuzhou Qingyan' to do some work, and when the work here is over, the servant will ask someone to invite the emperor to come and see."

The emperor frowned, and asked about the auspicious time, and seeing that the time had not passed, he ordered Sun Yuqing to run back to "Jiuzhou Qingyan" immediately.

Wanxi didn't know what the emperor was doing, seeing the tense face of the emperor, she didn't dare to ask.

Concubine Chun, Concubine Wan and others can only accompany each other silently.

Sun Yuqing's legs and feet were nimble, and he ran back after a short time, with a small brocade box in his hand.

Kneeling down and presenting the brocade box to the emperor, Sun Yuqing was out of breath and was speechless for a long while.

It took a long time to let out a sigh of relief, but she turned towards Yuye and said with a sneer, "...Miss, give me a bowl of cold water anyway."

Yuye didn't want to talk to Sun Yuqing at first, but hated him in front of the emperor and so many heads of the inner court, no one would be easy to ask, but she had to ask only her.

But no matter how unhappy Yuye was, he was in front of so many people at this moment; and it was in the master's bedroom, Sun Yuqing was going to do things for the master anyway, if he didn't even give him a bowl of water, it wouldn't make sense.

With a cold face, Yu Ye went outside and poured a bowl of residual tea and came back, without turning her eyes down, she just looked at the painted paintings on the roof and said, "...the master just gave birth to a princess, so it's a good time now. I can’t drink tea yet. We ate half of this bowl. The tea is good tea, but it’s only half cold. If you don’t like it, please wait for a while. .”

This was originally Yuye's intention to give Sun Yuqing a cold shoulder. If Sun Yuqing felt left out and said he didn't want to eat, it would be clear.

But unexpectedly, Sun Yuqing picked it up like a snatch, and ate it up with a raised head.After eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile, "It's still July, so naturally this cold tea is the best. Miss, it's not wronging me, it's because she loves me."

Yu Ye's face turned red.

Fortunately, the attention of the masters is now on the brocade box in the emperor's hand, and on the emperor's next actions. At this moment, she and Sun Yuqing are standing beside her and only a few women and eunuchs such as Yu Rui. That's all.

Yu Ye stomped her feet angrily, and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? The emperor and the palace masters are all here, you don't want to live anymore, I still want to keep my head!"

Sun Yuqing's face changed from a smile to a gloomy and lonely one.

He lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "...Brother Mao Tuan'er is out of the palace, and you are also out of the palace. From now on outside the palace wall, you two may still be together." Have a chance to meet."

"You're afraid of death now, and you want to save your head just to meet my brother Mao Tuan'er, right?"

As soon as Yuye heard him say "Brother Maotuaner", she became annoyed and reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't mention him again in front of my eyes!"

At this time, Concubine Xin happened to come in from outside, and seeing them, she smiled as she walked, "...I'm late. Is the Seventh Princess' baptism done?"

Yu Rui hurriedly squeezed Yu Ye's wrist.

Yuye took a deep breath, and led a group of women and eunuchs to greet Concubine Xin.

"The three rites have been completed. Master Xin, please wait here for a while, and the slave will go and report."

Concubine Xin smiled, and glanced at Sun Yuqing, "Eunuch Sun is here too? So the emperor is still in the palace?"

Sun Yuqing knelt down and replied, "Return to Master Xin's words, that's right."

Concubine Xin nodded with a smile, but she glanced at Yuye, "In other words, the three rites have not yet finished. Even if I came a step late, it is not too late. If you want to come to the emperor and sister Ling, you will not be offended .”

Hearing Concubine Xin's "Sister Ling" again and again, Yuye was already half-fired with Sun Yuqing in her heart, so she couldn't hold it back anymore, and all the ground got up.

She stared at Concubine Xin with a smile on her face, "Master Xin thought that the slave was blocking her on purpose? That's because Master Xin was thinking too much. Wash three times and wash three times. The ritual of cleaning is already completed. It was said by the grandmas themselves!"

"As for the emperor not leaving, is it possible that the emperor came here only for the ceremony of washing the three? Master Xin thinks that the emperor can't come to our master's palace for others?"

Yurui hurriedly grabbed Yuye, but Yuye spoke quickly, and she had already said all of this series of words.

Concubine Xin stared at Yuye and smiled, "Sister Yuye is really eloquent, she has been like this since the first time I saw her, and it hasn't changed in these years. I really like it~"

Yuye sneered at Fushen, "How dare a slave."

Concubine Xin raised her hand and stroked her temples, "Since the emperor is still here, there is no need to make any extra alarms. I'll just go in and pay my respects."

Before Yuye could speak, Concubine Xin stepped directly across the threshold.

What caught Concubine Xin's eyes was that the emperor was twisting the earlobes of the Seventh Princess with two jasper balls the size of soybeans.

Although this movement is the same as what Wang used before, the emperor's technique and attitude are naturally different from Wang's.

The emperor bent down, looking into the seventh princess's eyes, while smiling, talking softly to his daughter; the strength in his hands was also as gentle as possible.

What's more, the quality of jade is originally cool, but when it is dyed with body temperature, it becomes more moist; it is not as astringent as soybeans, which makes Seventh Princess no longer so nervous.

The emperor patiently talked to the seventh princess for a long time, then took this opportunity to quietly thin the earlobe of the seventh princess, and then used his slender fingers to pick out the earlobe from the sesame oil bowl and put it on. Embroidery needles of red silk thread——

Even if the emperor did it himself, Wanxi was so distressed that she hurriedly supported Wanbi's hand, and tried not to move her head away.

The emperor was good at bows and arrows, and his fingers were very accurate.Taking advantage of the seventh princess's unpreparedness, she made a sudden move—the needle tip pierced her earlobe, and the seventh princess cried again in aggrieved manner.

The emperor threw away the needle, and hurriedly dug out the "Jasper Muscle-Growing Ointment" with his own hands to spread on the Seventh Princess. Then he stretched out his hand and hugged her small body into his arms. with.

With her father's arms around her body and her father's soft voice in her ears, although the seventh princess was aggrieved by crying, she calmed down little by little.

Seeing this scene, Wanxi, Yuqin and the others couldn't help but get red-eyed.

Concubine Chun couldn't help sighing, and whispered to Wanxi, "If it weren't for the fact that the fourth princess is already ready to marry, and she was told to treat her as if she were her own since she was a child... then I couldn't help being jealous today."

"I have never seen such an emperor before."

Wanpin, Yuqin and the others all smiled and nodded towards Wanxi.

——Who said that the emperor will not be happy after giving birth to a princess?The emperor can give his daughter more tenderness than his son.

It can also be seen from this that although the emperor is the highest ninety-five, he is a gentle person in his heart.

But when this scene fell into the eyes of Concubine Xin who was standing blankly by the door, it was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.

She is also a princess, and today is also the first birthday of her sixth princess!Their mother and daughter waited for the emperor until the auspicious time calculated by the Qintian Supervisor was almost over, so they had to finish the ceremony of putting on the plate in a hurry, and they did not wait for the emperor...

It turns out that the emperor is here, acting as such a tender emperor Ama for the seventh princess!

They are also princesses, and they will also be titled Princess Feng Heshuo in the future. There should be no difference at all—but at this moment, because of the comparison, they are different!

Because the emperor was here, Yuye, Yurui and others did not dare to raise their voices to report. Fortunately, Wanxi had a good understanding, and when she raised her eyes, she still saw Concubine Xin standing at the door.

Wanxi hurriedly greeted, "When did Concubine Xin come? Why are you standing at the door? Please come in."

Only then did Concubine Xin smile awkwardly, and went forward to salute the emperor first, and then saluted Concubine Chun, Wanxi, Concubine Yu and others.

Concubine Shu, on the other hand, smiled, "I'm sorry, why did Concubine Xin come here today? Today is also the sixth princess's first birthday. I just said that when our seventh princess's third baptism is over, I have to go to Concubine Xin." Over there, congratulations to the sixth princess."

Wanxi gave Yuhu a wink, and Yuhu hurriedly got up and walked to the emperor, bowed to take the seventh princess, and handed it to the nanny.

Wanxi also smiled at Concubine Xin, "In a blink of an eye, the sixth princess is one year old. I can't go there in person at the moment, but I have prepared my heart..."

Concubine Xin laughed, "Sister Ling, why bother to be so polite? The Sixth Princess and Seventh Princess are biological sisters, and the youngest sister and Sister Ling are also brothers and sisters. Today, the two young ladies are at an auspicious time, and this is a gift from heaven." What about Jiayuan. It’s too late for my younger sister to be happy, so don’t worry about anything.”

Concubine Xin bowed to the emperor again as she spoke, "Don't worry, the emperor, the concubine has already settled down with the Fujins under the House of Internal Affairs for the sixth princess's Zhou ceremony. Ling sister has just given birth for three days, and she needs the emperor's company the most." Time; the seventh princess has just married three times, the time when intimacy is needed the most... Please ask the emperor to accompany sister Ling and the seventh princess more, so there is no need to visit the sixth princess."

The emperor also raised his eyebrows, "I will naturally go to see the sixth princess later."

Concubine Xin continued with a smile, "This concubine thanked Huang Ama on behalf of the sixth princess... However, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and it is not easy to find time to come to the harem, so please stay here exclusively to accompany sister Ling and the seventh princess."

She smiled forcefully, but a slight melancholy still appeared on her young face, "My concubine and the sixth princess... are fine."
.
Hearing Concubine Xin's words, Wanxi couldn't help frowning, and quickly lowered her head to cover her expression.

Concubine Shu just let out a chuckle, "Look at Concubine Xin, who is so pitiful. Let's go, the emperor is inseparable for the time being, but it doesn't matter to me. If Concubine Ling doesn't mind, then I will stay with Xin Concubine should go back first, and it's time to congratulate the sixth princess."

Wanxi raised her head quickly, and said with a smile, "What did Concubine Shu say? I still want to be grateful to Concubine Shu."

Having said that, several other concubines got up and wanted to go with Concubine Shu.

Wanxi also turned towards Yuqin and Wanpin, and blinked quietly.

Both Yuqin and Wanpin would also agree, so they suppressed a sigh in their hearts, and got up to leave as well.

Concubine Xin still stepped forward and grabbed Wanxi's hand, "I just came here, and I haven't said a few words to Sister Ling yet, if I leave now, I won't be able to bear it!"

Wanxi resisted, but Fang didn't pull her hand back.

"Where does Concubine Xin have anything to say? We get along every day, and if we don't have time to say anything today, it will naturally grow in the future."

Concubine Xin shook her head, "Although we get along every day, since Sister Ling met Xi, I have lost the opportunity to get together with Sister Ling! Counting it like this, it has been several months... Sister Ling was Gu With fetal gas, the younger sister understands that now that the seventh princess has landed safely, sister Ling will not shut up the palace gates and ignore people in the future, right?"

These words made everyone stop in their tracks.

Both Wanpin and Yuqin were hindered by their identities, so it was hard for them to say anything directly.Yu Ye finally couldn't help it, and sneered, "Master Xin's words are so strange! When did our master's palace gate close and ignore people?"

"The slave dares to say such a thing, just because the slave is the woman in charge of the Yongshou Palace. Even the matter of opening and closing the door, the master does not need to worry about it. Only the slave manages it. Since Master Xin mentioned the matter of closing the door Son, then it is wrong to accuse the slave, and the slave is really afraid to be a slave!"

Concubine Xin turned her eyes, stared at Yu Ye and smiled, "It turns out that these are all the errands of Miss Ye'er... Let me just say, it must have nothing to do with Sister Ling. Sister Ling can only concentrate on raising the baby, why not?" As for the matter of opening and closing the door.”

"I, of course, this has nothing to do with Sister Ling, I just want to remind Sister Ling that Sister Ling has been concentrating on raising the baby in the past few months, and it is inevitable that things in the palace will be neglected... Don't tell the servant to push his nose Put on your face, and do something outrageous behind your master's back!"

Yu Ye still wanted to speak, but was stared at by Wan Xi's eyes from afar.

Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Sister Xinpin said that I ignored trivial matters these past few months, so it was inevitable that I had neglected the rules of my own palace—no, Sister Xinpin came to replace me." I have disciplined the people in my palace, sister Xinpin has worked hard."

Yuqin finally couldn't see it anymore, and sneered, "Oh, I can see that Concubine Xin is not feeling well today! I don't know who wronged Concubine Xin, called Concubine Xin I can't hold back anymore, so I have to go to Concubine Ling's palace to make trouble."

"Not to mention that Concubine Ling has just given birth for three days, and Princess Seven is still young; even if the Emperor and our sisters are still here, Concubine Xin is here to make trouble, and who is she going to show?"

Concubine Ying also laughed and said, "I said something inappropriate: it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Miss Yuye is the woman in charge of the imperial concubine, so if she makes mistakes, she will be under the control of the imperial concubine; besides, the emperor is still here." , how come it's Concubine Xin's turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

"In my opinion, if Concubine Xin wants to discipline women, she should first discipline the people in her palace. Don't turn around and tell others to find out too!"

Concubine Xin's eyes turned cold, and they walked sideways.

It doesn't matter what other people say, now the three of them are concubines.Even if she was wronged by Concubine Ling, she wouldn't be punished by Concubine Qing and Concubine Ying!
"Thank you two sisters for your teaching. It's just that the two sisters may be overwhelmed—the younger sister has always regarded Sister Ling as her own sister, and she also regards everyone in Yongshou Palace as her own family, so she can say whatever she wants. , never hide it. The so-called 'outspoken and quick' is the little girl's habit."

Concubine Xin stared directly at Concubine Yuqin and Concubine Ying, without any intention of avoiding her eyes.

The emperor finally frowned suddenly, "What is this? It really is the woman who has taught the concubine Ling a lesson, and she is also fussing about the concubine who was so many years before you entered the palace?"

"Concubine Xin, I gave you the title 'Xin' out of joy. I originally hoped that you would be young and lively and bring joy to the harem...Look at what you are doing today?!"

Concubine Xin hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor snorted, "Based on what I've seen today, I regret that when I bestowed the title back then, it seems that I should have given you the character 'Shen' of the nobleman Shen!"

Concubine Xin bowed her head deeply, not daring to speak any more.

While talking, a report came from outside, saying that the empress dowager's reward had been awarded.

The emperor hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.

Shoushan walked in with a smile, first greeted the emperor, and then handed over the gifts for Wanxi and the Seventh Princess to Yuye.

Shoushan turned his head and saw Concubine Xin and smiled, "...The Empress Dowager gave the Sixth Princess the first birthday gift, and the Seventh Princess the three-year-old gift. According to the order of the princesses, the servant should have given the gift to Master Xin and Princess Xin first. The sixth princess sent it there, but now that the emperor heard that the emperor is at Master Ling's place, the slave also came to Master Ling's side first."

"Master Xin won't care about this old slave, will he?"

Concubine Xin hurriedly smiled and said, "Where did Wenda come from? Sister Ling is in the concubine position, and I am just a concubine, so Wenda should have come to Sister Ling first. This is the rule, I naturally got it."

The emperor silently looked at the two gifts given by the empress dowager to the sixth princess and the seventh princess, and his long eyebrows knit together abruptly.

According to the "Hui Dian" and "Regulations in the Palace", the empress dowager's gifts to the two princesses naturally have fixed rules, but the number of gifts given by the empress dowager to the sixth princess is the same as that of the seventh princess, but the number of gifts given to the sixth princess by the empress dowager is the same as that of the seventh princess. The gold and silver locks are hollow, but the ones for the sixth princess are solid; the jade locks for the seventh princess are sapphires, but the ones for the sixth princess are Hetian white jade.

In the entire harem, everyone favored the seventh princess, and underestimated the sixth princess, only the empress dowager, it was the complete opposite.

　See you tomorrow~~~ This paragraph about children's etiquette, because Manchu has a lot of rules, these contents reflect the characteristics of the times, so I will write a little more detail.In this way, when other children are born later, there is no need to write all of them... Cough cough, who told Jiuer that there are so many children~~
