Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2500 Eight Volumes 25

In the palace, because scissors are sharp weapons, they are never allowed to be placed casually, let alone tampered with.

In every palace, there is an official woman who is in charge of the scissors. Anyone who wants to use them usually has to ask the master for instructions. There is also a serious name called "please scissors".

Nala is the master, and she is the queen of the middle palace, so naturally she didn't need to "please scissors", but when she saw her picking up the scissors like this, Guo Xin, who was in charge of guarding the scissors, screamed and didn't care about that. Whether the scissors would stab or cut her, she rushed up desperately and hugged Nalashi's right arm tightly.

"What is the master going to do? The master wants to use scissors, just tell the slaves. Master let go, what the master wants to cut, just ask the slaves to do it..."

Nala's arms were hugged, but she became even more excited.She tried all her strength to break free, but she couldn't get it right for a while, so she could only wave her left hand—tore off the golden phoenix mandarin on the back of her head, cried loudly, and then squeezed (hao) Go live with your own hair!
.
The customs of the Manchu people do not favor boys over girls, and even the girls who have not been out of the court are "aunts"; and because the girls' homes also have to ride horses and shoot arrows, in the early years when the men went out to fight in armor, if the house was attacked, the girls would be killed. The masters want to climb up and call out to lead their families to resist.

Therefore, Ge Ge from the Manchurian family is a very strong character.Usually, if you really do it, the most effective trick for a woman is to pull her hair.

It is said that women have "long hair but short knowledge". This is just a man's prejudice, and no woman takes it seriously.But women also know the biggest disadvantage of having long hair—that is, when they are in a fight, once they are pinched by the other party, it is like a snake being pinched seven inches, and it is not easy to break free. And it hurts like hell.

If you see a woman pulling her hair by herself - then you will really be ruthless, and you will risk everything, and death is not a problem.

Nalashi jumped up and pulled her hair fiercely, "I didn't curse them to die, I didn't! Why don't they believe me! Then why do I let them live? Why do I still have to be angry with them?" go?"

"Ah-ah, if you want to die, you will die, and I won't live anymore. I will fight with them!"

This time, Nalashi was really mad with anger, and his heart was so cold that he was really angry, and he didn't show any mercy to himself.The left hand was firm and precise, and it tore off a piece of hair in one stroke, and a piece of bald skin was torn off the good head!
It looks like he has alopecia areata.

Guoxin had just hugged Nala's right hand holding the scissors, how could they have imagined that their master's left hand was going to pluck hair again!

Guoxin could only let go of Nalashi's right hand hastily, and then rushed over to hug Nalashi's left hand again.

Because of the sudden incident, both Dege and Genggen were frightened and dumbfounded, and they didn't react for a while.Now that he came back to his senses, Dege and Genggen also rushed over.

Gengen and Guoxin hugged Nala's left hand together, and Dege snatched the hair from their master's palm, crying and wanting to push it back...

Dege was also so impatient that he was stupid. The hair that had been pulled out was like water thrown out of the house. Now that it has fallen, how can it go back safely?

No matter how hard Dege tried, the alopecia areata on Lashi's head was still clearly hanging there, and it couldn't be blocked!

"Master! Why are you doing this, master..." Dege's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground crying, "Doesn't it hurt, master? Why bother to treat yourself like this? The emperor and empress dowager are not here, they can't see, They won't feel pity for the master because of this..."

Nalashi was startled, and the breath stuck in his throat.

She didn't want to cry, and she didn't want to admit defeat.But it was almost blocked, and he couldn't go up or down. Instead, the tears were blocked, and the circles of his eyes were filled.

She wanted to smile indifferently, but when she came out, it turned into a wry smile with sobs: "Yeah, they won't pity me anymore... No matter how I explain, they just want to believe what they think, I can't even believe that I'm not that cruel to them!"

The more I talked, the more annoyed I became, my heart was completely hurt by the ruthlessness of the mother and child, and I was so cold.

The left arm was held by two women, one kneeling on the ground crying, her right hand finally came loose.

The scissors held in the palm, after holding it for a long time, and after going through the previous struggle with Guo Xin, it is still not warm, and it is still cold in the palm.

——It's like, the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager are always warm!

The more she thought about it, the more she hated it, and the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, so she simply raised the scissors in her right hand and followed the loose braids of her hair—clicked off!

"If you don't let me be good, then you don't want to think about it! Aren't you wronged me and want to curse you to death? Okay, okay, I will mourn for you from now on—you are in my heart, already died!"
.
Manchus attach great importance to their hair, and there is an old saying that Manchus "do not trim their feet but their heads".

Although it is said that Manchu men shaved off their forehead and temples, this does not mean that Manchu men do not pay attention to their hair, but that Manchus have followed the tradition of "kunfa" from ancient times; except for the forehead and temples. In addition to shaving, Manchu men attach great importance to braids.

This is especially true for Manchu women, who do not bind their feet, but put more attention and effort into their hair.

Therefore, the funeral ceremony of the Manchus is not only reflected in the uniform, but also clearly reflected in the head.

In addition to taking off jewelry such as hairpins and ear clippers, there is also the most representative custom of "removing hair and putting down braids".

For the mourning family, the juniors who observe mourning and filial piety according to the uniform, except that they also live in daily life within a hundred days, both men and women have to cut off their hair braids, which means that this is the highest level of filial piety.

Manchu families have a lighter system of filial piety for married daughters.Because a married woman is already the daughter-in-law of her husband's family, and the most important filial piety is for her husband's family, but the filial piety for her mother's family is a little lighter.

Therefore, for a daughter-in-law like Nala who has already been married, the highest level of filial piety, such as cutting off her hair, can only be given to three people in this world-husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

The first emperor, Yongzheng, has passed away long ago, and now only the emperor and the empress dowager are alive.

As the empress of the Central Palace, Nala is also the first wife and main wife, so she cut off her hair braids, she is already keeping a filial piety for the emperor and the empress dowager!

—— Then there is no need to doubt, she is cursing the death of both the emperor and the empress dowager!

(Being a monk is a "shaving degree". There are strict regulations on instruments and ceremonies. It is not acceptable to shave yourself. It must be performed by the abbot of the temple and other eminent monks in order to be recognized and obtain a legal degree and identity. It is impossible to use scissors to cut In a fit of anger, it is even more impossible to pluck your hair... "The theory of becoming a monk" is untenable, and you don't understand the customs of the Manchus.).
The three women worked together and still neglected the other. When the three saw Nala's braid that had been cut off, they were struck by lightning!

After a while, all three of them screamed in despair, "Master... how could master be like this, how could he be like this!"

It's okay to pluck her hair, but at worst, people will say that this daughter-in-law is acting crazy; but cutting off her braids in such a grandiose way is clearly showing filial piety for her husband and in-laws!

If the emperor finds out... the master will be finished, and the three of them will be finished too!
The three of them screamed and cried into a ball beside Nala's body, and then got into a ball in a hurry.

On the contrary, Nala calmed down.

Now that the matter has come to this point, she has no way out, so what else is she afraid of?

Dege and Guoxin came forward, held her shoulders, and screamed with trembling voices, "Master, sit down! Before anyone else knows, the slave will tie the braid back with a headband for the master! Either, or use scissors to smash the ends of the hair, so that they can't be seen to be cut together, and this can still be hidden from people's eyes!"

"Why did I do that?" Nalashi pushed and kicked the three women aside, and looked at them coldly, "Since I did it, I'm not afraid to let them know! I just want to They understand that they don't want to call me nice, and I don't want to call them nice either!"

She was so happy, haha, when she cut off the braid with a snap of the scissors and determined to be a filial piety for those two people, she was really relieved!
These years, she has had enough of those overt and secret uselessness, and she doesn't want to suffer anymore!
She is the queen, the main palace!Why should she suffer that anger? She endured it for more than ten years, but she couldn't get the slightest pity from the two of them, so why did she continue to swallow her anger? !

The three women still wanted to persuade them, but Nalashi couldn't hear a word anymore, and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Get out, you all get out! You go and be slaves to their wives. You don't need to help the two of them anymore, and say what you think is good for me in front of me!"

Nala raised her foot and kicked, regardless of whether the women were kneeling, when she raised her foot, it was as if she was facing the door, "Get out, get out!"

Thick-soled shoes, the soles are seven or eight inches high hardwood, and the edges are all sharp edges and corners, how can the three women's faces resist this... I want to stop the master again, but the master really can't stop it now, with such strength as Niu, the three of them had no choice but to escape crying and crawling.

The hall was empty, and the eunuchs who were originally served outside the threshold did not dare to enter without purpose, so no one dared to enter again.

In the hall where she was the only one, Nala laughed as if she was happy, but also as if she was desolate.

"Haha, haha...Finally no one dares to stop me anymore! Die, all of you!"
.
Nala's tossing in the bedroom has become like this, she was originally staying with the empress dowager, and the people in front of the empress dowager heard the movement, so they rushed to see the empress dowager, but waited outside the hall Hesitating whether to return, and how to return.

After all, they are all slaves, and that one is the queen of the palace.

Yongchang happened to come out of the palace and saw Fuhai and two young eunuchs hesitating outside, so he asked with a smile, "Fu Wenda, what's the matter?"

Fu Hai understands that the one who can talk most in front of the Empress Dowager at this moment is the young master who is always there.Since it is such a difficult word to answer, it is naturally safest to hand it over to the young master Yongchang Zai first, and then transfer it back to the old master of the Empress Dowager.

What's more, the empress dowager's old master just got angry at "Singing the Qin on the Reef" this morning, if he said something inappropriate now, wouldn't he be looking for a sick child for himself?Therefore, this time, Yongchang came out just in time for the little master, but it was really a life-saving straw stretched down from the sky, and they had to grab it quickly.

Fu Hai pouted at the two little eunuchs, and the two little eunuchs agreed, and hurriedly knelt down to tell Yongchang all the goings-on in the queen's bedroom.

Yong Changzai was also taken aback.After being stunned for a long while, Fang nodded, "Okay, you guys go back first. I'll take a moment to turn around, and I'll say this again when the Empress Dowager is happy."

Fu Hai felt relieved, he quickly winked at the two young eunuchs, and the three of them knelt together and Xie Yongchang went.
.
Fu Hai went down with the two young eunuchs who were in charge, and Yong Chang stood in a daze under the eaves for a while.

Even if she "got to smoke" in front of the Empress Dowager, she was still only a 19-year-old girl after all, and she could not guess the priority of what she said.

After all, it was the empress, and I heard that it was the empress dowager who pushed her to the position of the middle palace, so she still had a place in the empress dowager's heart, so she was not sure how to respond to her words.

If she was in Beijing, she could immediately try to ask her Ama Sige, who is the governor and chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but at this moment she is still in Hangzhou, and Ama can't help.

After much deliberation, she called Guan Lan, a subordinate woman, "Come here, I have something to tell you. I can't do without myself. The Empress Dowager may call me at any time, so go and replace me." Get this done."
.
Guan Lan invited Shi Chen, came out of the Empress Dowager's palace, and went straight to Wanxi's imperial concubine's palace.

Seeing Wanxi, Guan Lan told the words of Yong Changzai.

Wanxi understood that this was always asking her to make up her mind.

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled faintly, "What a smart person Ling Zhi is, I'm afraid he's already established in his heart at this moment, but he respects me, that's why Guan Lan, you come here specially, and ask again That's all I mean."

"Actually, we are in the palace, who is so smart that he has his own ideas in everything? It's just that everything is done for the emperor's sake, and we just act according to the holy will."

Guan Lan was startled.

Wanxi asked Yuchan to come forward and help Guanlan up, "Miss Guanlan, you can go back at ease, just tell me what I said and always be there."

Guan Lan hurried back to the Empress Dowager's palace again, and relayed Wanxi's words to Yong Changzai.

Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Yongchang gently curled his lips.

Guan Lan asked carefully, "Master, do you understand what the noble concubine and master mean?"

Yong Chang snorted softly, "Sure enough, it's the imperial concubine, the years spent in the harem were not in vain, it really is watertight."

Guan Lan frowned, "Master, what do you mean...?"

Yongchang shrugged his shoulders, "The emperor's meaning is clear—since the emperor has ordered my uncle to take on the reputation of marrying the concubine and empress, and I will send letters to the empress every month, so why don't I say no?" Do you understand the emperor's inclination? Now I am a grasshopper tied to a string with the imperial concubine, and I can't jump away."

After finishing speaking, Yongchang turned around and walked quickly into the door.

He mercilessly relayed all of Nala's uproar to the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager changed her face in anger, "Go and tell the emperor, go and tell the emperor everything the empress has said and done!"
.
It was not yet (one o'clock in the afternoon), and the emperor had dinner at the West Lake Palace.

Before the official setting of the meal, the emperor first introduced milk tea with great interest.

Although the milk tea is good, but this meeting is in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, on February [-]th, and drinking milk tea is already quite dry.If it is not in a very good mood, it is absolutely difficult to overcome.

When the emperor ran out of milk tea, he called it rewarding milk tea.

From the eunuchs serving meals at this moment and the eunuchs serving the emperor, they have already noticed that something is wrong: the emperor rewarded milk tea, but in the harem escort, only concubine Ling, concubine Qing, and concubine Rong were rewarded. But suddenly the queen's name disappeared.

But this is just milk tea after all, it's just an appetizer, not a meal.So the eunuchs didn't take it too seriously.

Appreciate the milk tea and formally pass on the meal.The serving eunuchs set up large fried meat and stewed cabbage on the foldable dining table, duck with bird’s nest and lotus seeds, fat chicken and tofu slice soup, fire-smoked and threaded pork belly, Dongpo pork, Su stewed pork knuckle, fried pork with spring bamboo shoots, and steamed pork belly. Fat chicken roasted fire Xiangpi Zan box, white noodle silk cake, broomcorn rice noodle cake, fried pork stuffed with green chives, silver plate side dishes, pheasant soup...

That's a hearty dish, mostly meat dishes.

There are usually several dishes here that the queen especially loves to eat.

The eunuchs were carefully preparing the queen's yellow sticks, and just waiting for the emperor's order, they put the queen's yellow sticks on the food box for the reward.

In the end, what was waiting was that the emperor appreciating the dishes was still only for Concubine Ling, Concubine Qing and Concubine Rong!

Not only did the food go to the harem, the emperor was in a good mood today, he gave [-] tables of first-class food and [-] tables of second-class food, a total of forty tables of food were given to the accompanying princes, ministers, and even the guards!

The emperor almost rewarded everyone around him, but left the empress alone.Queen, it seems that she suddenly disappeared!

The eunuchs felt right, but they were not as clear as the military ministers: at the same time as the emperor came to have a meal—at the end of the day, the emperor had already issued an order: "Send Fu Long'an, the son-in-law, to follow the queen, and go first by water." Beijing."

In the imperial decree, the emperor also retained the pomp that the Nala family should have: "All horses and soldiers along the way must be prepared in full. If the river soldiers are not available for a while, carefully select civilian husbands and cooperate with the river soldiers to lead them. Then Zhili and Shandong all the way There may be some parts that cannot be repaired completely, so we should hurry up and make preparations.”

"However, the cooking is simple and easy, and there is no need for excessive decoration, so as to cause delays, and it is quick..."

Because of the emperor's words, even the military ministers failed to notice what happened in the harem; moreover, the emperor's original scheduled return date was tomorrow, and even if the empress left one day earlier, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Only the chief minister of military affairs like Master Jiu, who has been good at observing the emperor's heart for many years, can detect a trace of unusual flavor from the last sentence of the emperor's decree...

Even if the empress returned to Beijing one day earlier, why did the emperor's tone urge him so?

Fu Long'an was finally Fu Heng's son, and Fu Heng got the will, so he went to see Fu Long'an in private.

Although Fu Long'an didn't dare to say more, he also briefly talked about the Queen's gaffe in the morning and Master Jiu.

Standing by the bank of the West Lake, Master Jiu couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

Fu Long'an took a careful look at his father, "Ama...my son followed the Queen's master all the way back to Beijing, does Ama have any orders?"

Fu Longan is only 20 years old today, not yet mature.Following the queen's return to the capital alone like this, how to choose his attitude along the way, he was still a little hesitant.

Fu Heng slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Why do you need to ask for your father? You have been raised in the inner court all these years, and you have seen more things about the harem than your father. Who treats you well, who treats you badly; who treats the four Princess is good, who is not good to the fourth princess... You have a mirror in your heart."

Fulongan's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Thank you, Amma, for your reminder, my son understands!"

Almost without allowing Nala's to stay for a moment longer, Fulong'an immediately took Nala's on board the boat.

The boat was far away, Fu Hengli was standing by the water, looking to the north, he also squinted his eyes slightly.

In front of him, Nala, who was still a concubine Xian at that time, was domineering, pointing at Jiu'er and scolding him when Jiu'er first entered the palace.

He couldn't forget that if he hadn't gone all out and rushed out back then, Jiu'er and Concubine Qing might not have had the chance to come to where they are today.

Fu Heng squeezed his fingertips, and said quietly: "Jiu'er, anyone who hurts you or harms you in this world will definitely end badly!"

It's just... standing still for a long time, the wind blowing over his ears, telling him to think carefully about the past and the consequences, and then melt into the emperor's temperament... He couldn't help but feel sad again.

After all, the person who designed this Linglong chess game is still the emperor.

After all, the person who vented all this anger on Jiu'er's behalf is still the emperor!
After 25 years, the emperor really did what he once said to him: the emperor has always guarded Jiu'er unchanged.

Although he was happy in his heart, the enlightenment at this moment still made Master Jiu feel all hopeless.

After all, it is not as good as the emperor...

They were destined to meet each other at the same time in this life, but were left far behind by the emperor.

Such a loss, in this life, I am afraid that there will be no chance to make up for it.
.
At noon on this day, the emperor used four side dishes, namely: stewed five-spice chicken with bird's nest, duck waist with spinal cord, fried pork with spring bamboo shoots, and dried eggplant.

After the emperor used it, he rewarded the duck waist to Wanxi, the fried pork with spring bamboo shoots to Yuqin, and the dried eggplant to Concubine Rong.

Confirmed again, there is no reward for Nalashi.

Even the eunuchs in the dining room had vaguely noticed that the queen had disappeared.

From supper to noon, the emperor has been in a good mood, as if the sky is high and the clouds are calm, and nothing has happened.

On the [-]th day of the second lunar month, the emperor had breakfast at the West Lake Palace and sent the Empress Dowager back to Beijing.

The empress dowager also lost the empress on the imperial boat, leaving Yongchangzai alone to support it.

The imperial boat set off, and the emperor personally boarded the empress dowager's imperial boat to pay her respects.

The emperor did not come alone, but brought three people—Wanxi, Yuqin and Xiaoshiwu.

The emperor confided with his tender eyes, "I have to turn overland on my way back to Beijing, so I can't serve you personally by the empress's side. Concubine, you should do a good job of filial piety for me."

　Dear friends who still have a monthly pass, let’s send it~~O(∩_∩)O~
