Chapter 241 Qin Guan (5)
After the emperor left, Caiyun sighed, saying that Concubine Rong was too generous.Concubine Rong sat down at the table and brushed her hair with a smile, and said, "You understand, Mr. Wu, but that's just the way it is, Caiyun, you really don't need to worry."If the emperor only stays with me, the queen mother will be unhappy, although she doesn't say anything on the face, Mrs. Nalan said that one of the reasons why the queen mother allowed her to leave the palace was that she didn't like the emperor's special favor on her. During the three years in Yuanmingyuan, the emperor still corresponded with her.As for the idea of the queen's mother, the emperor also knew it well.Only then did Caiyun suddenly realize that she turned her worries into joy, and said, "According to what you said, Imperial Concubine Ling is actually...
Concubine Rong shook her head, and said to the mirror: She is different, the emperor treats her because of the important matter of the emperor's heir.Caiyun said: Master, you are really like a bright mirror in your heart.If it was the Empress Dowager's own daughter, she would not think so, wishing you could pamper her alone.Concubine Rong said: The Empress Dowager is for the consideration of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty. Things like the concubine Wan can no longer happen in the harem. The emperor's family affairs are not just family affairs.How can the empress dowager's own daughter marry the emperor?That year, the emperor also made me think about what the queen mother said, and I later realized that if I hadn't married the emperor, the queen mother would probably wish that I could spoil her alone.
Then she looked at the string of eighteen bracelets in the box next to the mirror, with turquoise among the red beads, which is the emperor's annual gift this year. He had already hung up the red amber and turquoise fasting sign before, but she didn't notice it until then. The emperor gave the bracelet.This is the oath she made with him that year!
Last year, when she asked Nanny Liu about the truth about the past, Nanny Liu was very grateful, and finally told her that the Queen Mother once said, "Since Shen Bi entered the palace, the emperor's bed affairs have really increased. Good." She was a little puzzled, Madam Liu said: Since the empress entered the palace, the emperor even ignored the fasting day in the first month of the twelfth lunar month, does the empress still remember the day when she first visited the empress dowager that year?The emperor has never been like this before, and there are not many people in the harem.And since you live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Empress Dowager thinks that you and the emperor have not officially recorded the number of times, plus what the concubine Wan said back then... but the empress do not need to worry too much, because you are the daughter of the empress dowager, different from other concubines .
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong laughed and shook her head.She also misunderstood the emperor because of her secret favor in Chengqian Palace that year, and she later found out that the emperor is actually rational, calm, diligent in political affairs, and has a fanatical taste for literati, and his love for bed matters is not beyond normal interest, and will not indulge in it.Mother Liu said that he didn't go to the harem very much, so Li Yu said that Wei Mei was going to invite favors through intercourse, which was one of the reasons why she was not worried.And the reason why she and the emperor's so-called "bed lingering" was that in Yuanmingyuan that year, she wanted to conquer him, but he was actually very seductive...
What the queen mother said is not recorded, except for the first time Wanbi said, it is only during the day, and the number of times is actually limited.The reason why the file can not be recorded is that she will not have children.Since she moved into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, during the fasting period of the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, even if she and the emperor slept together, they only slept together. Accompaniment... and she and the emperor's real "bed affairs" were only during the southern tour in 22 years.
But since the queen mother still has these thoughts, she naturally wants to "correct", so she asked Madam Liu to find an opportunity to tell the queen mother tactfully that she has always followed the emperor's mother's teachings. If the emperor's mother doesn't believe it, just ask Li Yu... the emperor She is deeply in love with herself, everyone in the palace knows it, and they live together all year round. The empress probably has doubts because of this, but in fact, she and the emperor are not because of the bed status, although the bed status is of course important...
The emperor, not to mention his eyes as deep as the sea and bottomless eyes, majestic and gentle in front of women, affectionate and seemingly always ruthless in front of women, he just stood there, dressed in ordinary clothes, without any ostentation, There is no need for the ministers to shout long live, no one or any object, he is still unique, just like the sun in the sky.It's too easy to fall in love with such a man. He doesn't need to work hard, and he doesn't need to be sincere. Many women will automatically give their hearts... There is no need to yearn for glory and wealth, just being infatuated with a man who controls the world is enough up.So she understands the queen, Wei Mei, Toya, and all the concubines in the palace, including this official Qin.
The experience of women in the world usually comes from the husband-in-law they marry.For women, whether it is good or bad, you have to admit it.Especially for women of their origin, it is even worse than that Qinguan. Their husbands are more powerful than them.But not her.She is different from other women.She was born so beautiful, but she has no intention of getting married, and even though her husband is spending time with her, her heart is still sober.
In fact, she treats all her men the same, not only the emperor.Her father, uncle, brother, Huo Jizhan, Fu Heng, she is very clear about each of them, this is a kind of natural instinct, probably because she is good at giving birth but can't have children, Allah gave her this kind of instinct.Because her mother died young, there is no woman in the family, and her father and brother dote on her, and it is not an ordinary family. She understands men, and she often feels that she is actually quite "ruthless", unmoved, and even surpasses men.
And her beautiful and gentle appearance is very bewitching, just like the emperor, the emperor is also annoyed by it, right?Others don't understand, and Caiyun doesn't understand, but Huang Erniang should understand, so Huangerniang should just be worried about the emperor... She laughed, looked in the mirror, and thought: Don't worry, she has given her heart to her. The emperor is now...but she doesn't really have any demands on him. What can she ask for from an emperor?She said that asking him to be hers was originally just a "seduction", and she had already got it.She laughed again, closed the box, and said: "Not only me, but also the Empress Dowager understands what the Empress Dowager thinks."
While looking at this small silver burnt blue box, the whole body is decorated with moiré patterns, a dragon and a phoenix are twined with silver thread, the body is filled with enamel, and a large bright red oval tourmaline surrounds the center of the box lid, which is the same color as the amber beads on the bracelet, That amber is also called blood amber, like a fire bead in auspicious clouds.Small tourmalines of various colors are adorned around the lid.The two long sides of the box are also dragon and phoenix play beads, but the play beads are small sky blue tourmalines.At that time, the bracelet was placed here together as a gift...
Just listen to Caiyun said: "Then what would the Empress think if she knew about the emperor's Shangyujing Garden?"Concubine Rong looked at the box again and smiled, without saying a word, the eulogy in Rongyin's sacrificial room in Yujing Garden appeared in front of her eyes:
Great sorrow, boundless calamity.The short song ends, the bright moon is missing.There is green blood in Yu Yujia City.Sometimes the jade is gone, the blood is sometimes gone, and a trace of fragrance is never cut off.Is it Yefeiye?Turn into a butterfly.
Postscript: The beginning of Jintai, Dengyong competed.After ten years, I still feel ashamed.Bury the pen and bury the text, entrust the spiritual birds, and send the fragrant grass.You don't need to lift a heavy spring to ask about your worries.
Yingluo said it was the inscription on the incense tomb of Taoranting in the south of the city, and the official script in Yujing Garden was written by Fu Heng himself. Because the former queen liked Taoranting, she was very moved by this verse on the tablet when she was playing in her boudoir.The incense tomb is the tomb where incense is buried.Rongyin's sacrificial room is full of potted jasmine, because the former queen liked jasmine...
During the Kangxi Dynasty, there were thousands of female singers in the palace, but it was reduced to 700 under the first emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, all female musicians were moved out.There used to be a large house in the south of the Zhinu bridge in Nanchizi, Xihuamen, which was the Efu mansion of Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui. It was very close to the palace and was named "Nanfu". The stage on the second floor is for students to audition on stage.
The Nanfu theater building is even more magnificent, consisting of a square double-eave Xieshan-top stage and a seven-bay roll-top backstage building. Opposite the stage is a double-ridged hook-up hall for emperors and queens to watch operas. There are five side halls on each side for accompanying It is used by concubines and princes and ministers watching the play, and the scene is grand when they perform.The eunuchs in charge of the Nanfu are divided into inner school and outer school. The inner school is eunuch entertainers who sing operas, and the outer school is invited folk artists. They are brought from Jiangnan along the Grand Canal to Beijing. .
The first stop was Suzhou, which is a gathering place, and the origins of Leren can be found everywhere, and they are all from Jiangnan.Then from Suzhou to Yangzhou, after receiving certain training in Yangzhou, after some cuts, better artists were selected, and from Yangzhou to the north to Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou on the official weaving ship sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Rest for a while in Tongzhou City, then train for a stage, perform a performance, line up a row, and then enter Beijing by the Tonghui River. After entering Beijing, they will be screened by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and become students and teachers, step by step.
Becoming a teacher of Kunqu opera and serving the court can also influence the children and grandchildren.There are so many promise plays and seasonal plays compiled and performed in the inner court. The big plays rely on these instructors, and the eunuchs and actors are also very hardworking and outstanding. Female music is no longer the main body of the troupe.The rules of acting in the inner court are strict and the conditions are good. The cultural accomplishment and artistic style of the emperor are different from those of the folk. Therefore, the court Kunqu opera is more perfect, and it also continues to influence the singing of Kun opera in various parts of Gyeonggi. Talented people are willing to come in. .Lu Wenhong is a native of Suzhou, with great talent. When he entered Nanfu, he was appreciated by Concubine Gao, and became her dedicated Kunqiang teacher and qin teacher. Now he is dedicated to Concubine Rong and Yujingyuan, and he can travel with his car. There are still affairs, so in Nanfu, it is only the instructor of Kunqu opera who teaches, holds regular meetings with the instructor, and does not personally guide the students.
The title of "Nanfu" is actually relative to Jingshan in the north of the Forbidden City, because Jingshan also has some Kunqiang students and foreign students.There is also a branch outside of Jingshan, Taiping Village in the Old Summer Palace, where there are permanent students and teachers, who are entertainers who serve at any time.
The small opera in Yujingyuan was called directly to Suzhou, and then Lu Wenhong selected 12 people to form it, but they were all female actresses and belonged to a small family theater troupe.The small operas were all young when they first entered the mansion, and this Qinguaner was considered to be the oldest among them. The lead singer Xiaodaner also cameoed as Xiaosheng and Hualian.Her original name was Gu Feiyao, but she changed her name to Gu Qin after joining the theater troupe, so she was called Qin Guan'er.
She has a petite frame, light manners, and coquettish manners. Because she joined the theater troupe at the age of six, her feet were not bound, and she had to step on stilts when she was playing the three-inch golden lotus on stage.After putting on the costumes and colors, her pretty eyes are full of affection. She is charming and charming, and she is hard to describe in words. She has an excellent voice and was strictly trained by Lu Wenhong for several years. She worked hard and worked hard off stage. Not only are all kinds of singing skills mellow, but the dancing sleeves sway like willows in the wind when they walk on the stage, which is extremely graceful, which is comparable to the top performers in Nanfu, but there are much fewer opportunities to go on stage, and all the expenses of the Yujingyuan troupe are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs , the costumes are all made in Suzhou, which is actually the emperor's private drama.
Lu Wenhong's excerpt of "The Kingdom of Daughters" adopts the Yiyang accent that Lord Kangxi loves and admires. It started last year when Fu Heng and his wife were not at home. For the son-in-law.After Yingluo came back, she thought it was too coincidental, and remembered that she had teased Aisha and his wife. She wanted Aisha to ask him to come and see her after she gave birth, and asked Master Lu if he could arrange the "Pansi Cave".But naturally take advantage of this time to play "The Kingdom of Daughters" for the emperor first.
Gu Qin was wearing a bright red costume and a complicated and bright headgear, shy and smiling, showing more and more beautiful appearance.It was cold, and in the indoor stage on the first floor of "Xiangjing Changzhou", Yingluo and Fu Heng saw the emperor was fascinated by what he heard, and smiled at each other.
After the show was over, Yingluo told the others to leave, and told Qin Guaner to stay, and when she came down from the stage gracefully, the emperor clapped his hands and praised him again, saying that he would appreciate it well, Yingluo and Li Yu looked at each other and smiled, Let's go out of the room together.Pearl stood alone outside the door waiting for orders.
There was no one else in the room.Naturally, Gu Qin knew that the emperor would be lucky to himself tonight, so he felt shy and knelt on the ground without looking up.The emperor smiled, pulled her up, and hugged her directly in his arms. Her face was covered in drama makeup, but her neck was red. The emperor saw it, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Your opera singing is so good, you have been facing each other all day long on the stage." Everyone is not afraid, why come down and face me alone, so shy!It's not the first time you've seen me.The emperor's menacing eyes made Gu Qin frightened, his heart beat like a drum, and he was speechless.The emperor's scented powder nephrite hugged her arms very emotionally. When she kissed her mouth, it was covered with red and greasy rouge. The emperor felt that it was so fresh, so he rubbed it on her face again.
This Gu Qin had never been intimate with a man, let alone the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and he was the person she cared about. She just felt her heart warm up instantly, and she forgot to be afraid, and completely fell into the emperor's arms.The emperor had seen many such beauties from the south of the Yangtze River during his southern tour, but he never took the initiative to hug her, and he had never been so close to Xiaoxi. He saw her soft and charming demeanor with a slight frown and a low smile, and a pair of thick and colorful hanging phoenix eyes, wrapped in a gorgeous light. In the flashing costumes and outfits, turning sideways is gorgeous, with a variety of styles, unconsciously singing: "Bright flowers, bright moon, dark cage and light mist, I'd like to go to Lang's side tonight. Wearing socks, walking on incense steps, and carrying gold-thread shoes. Painting hall See you at the south bank, always cuddling with people and trembling. It is difficult for slaves to come out, so I teach you to feel free and pity."
Gu Qin knew that this was the lyrics of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because Lu Wenhong had taught him to sing the lyrics, he repeated the lyrics in a low voice: slave-for-come-out-come-difficult, teach-jun-unwilled-will-pity.The emperor was very surprised, especially when these two lines were sung in opera, lingering and melodious, as delicate as running water in a stone mill, he was even more delighted, and hugged her tightly.Gu Qin plucked up his courage and said in a low voice: Your Majesty, go to the servants.The emperor suddenly came back to his senses, put her down, and she wiped the rouge on her face with her sleeve, and then asked: Your Majesty, is it all right?The emperor nodded, and the two went out one after the other, with Pearl busy leading the way with a lamp in front.After leaving the theater building, Duo Luo followed behind the three of them. Tonight, like Li Yu, he would stay in Yujing Garden. This was Yingluo's idea, and the emperor himself agreed.
After walking in the garden for a while, they reached the gate of a small courtyard and went up a few stone steps. Gu Qin pushed the door to let the emperor in, and turned to Pearl and said, "Thank you, sister."Pearl smiled and said: Congratulations.Turn around and walk away with Doro.Gu Qin also stepped in and bolted the door inside.The emperor looked around and saw that there was only one person to enter this small courtyard, and it was very quiet. Bright lights were lit in the main room and the east wing, and people came out through the windows.Gu Qin said: Don't worry, the emperor, there is only one servant here, and the servant serves the emperor by himself.The emperor was overjoyed, and walked through the courtyard first, and walked into the room.
Gu Qin brought him tea and said, "This is made from this year's snow water saved by Mrs. Nalan."He took off his make-up in the mirror.The emperor looked around and saw that the furnishings in this room were simple, but the ornaments were all antiques. The room was lit with Tibetan incense, which was very fragrant. There was a picture of a beautiful woman holding an umbrella on the wall over there. The light rain on the street is as moist as crisp, but the grass looks far away but there is nothing near it.
There is a jade chime on the case below.The jade plate hangs in it, the color is as light as running water.A frame is carved on the edge of the jade plate, and the curl gradually enters the center, like a big jade lock, with a reserved posture.A pair of kissing auspicious beasts lie on the upper edge of the jade plate. The mouth of the auspicious beasts is fixed with a gilt copper buckle, and the jade plate is suspended from the outer frame.In the outer frame is another pair of cloisonné enamel dragons kissing each other to form an ellipse, and the gold-plated dragon head is joined with a gold buckle on a jade plate.The lower base is made of brass, which is brilliant in brilliance; the waist and four feet of the base are gilded, and the rest are decorated with cloisonné enamel on a light blue background full of flowers and auspicious clouds. The royal property should be the imperial gift collection of the Fucha family.
The author has something to say:
[Inscription on Fragrant Tomb] Fragrant Tomb, also known as Butterfly Tomb, is located on the south slope of Jinqiudun, a highland northeast of Taoranting.This stele has neither inscriptions, signatures nor dates.The original stele has been destroyed, and the existing rubbings.The incense tomb is not the tomb of Emperor Qianlong's concubine Xiang, as historians have already proved.This inscription was quoted at the end of Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity Records", so this verse is very famous, but it was not written by Jin Yong. The historical background of "Book of Swords" is taken from Tiangu's "Outer History of the Qing Dynasty? Chapter [-]" in the late Qing Dynasty Unofficial anecdotes in the book.Tao Ran Pavilion was built by Jiang Zao, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Its name is taken from a couplet of poems written by Bai Juyi "Wait for the chrysanthemum and yellow home brew to be ripe, and I will be drunk with the king". Two or three hundred steps.It is generally believed that the incense tomb originated in the early Qing Dynasty, but there is no exact textual research, but it was officially called "Xiangzhong" or even misrepresented as "Xiangfei Tomb" after the Xianfeng period.
The first draft of Wei Xiuren's novel "The Scars of the Flower and Moon" was written in the eighth year of Xianfeng. The book has a detailed description of Taoranting Jinqiudun where the incense tomb is located: "The capital is prosperous and beautiful, and it is the best in the world. There is a Jinqiudun in the southeast of Ducheng. There is a pavilion on it, named Taoran Pavilion, which was built by Langjiang Zao of the Ministry of Water a hundred years ago. Looking around, dozens of miles of cities and villages are all in front of you, which is unique and unrestrained. The pavilion is near the Temple of Flowers, and Mianzhu is the wall. There is a small pavilion. There is a solitary grave three feet outside the pavilion, where flowers are buried in spring, or where a certain school book is buried. Thousands of reeds are blowing in chaos, and the sky is lighter than a geese. The bells ring like startled frost in the morning, and the city is full of dust at night. There is a lonely and pity desolate tomb, and it is always passionate to bury incense and jade!" It can be seen that this tomb is similar to Daiyu The flower burial mound is the place where incense and jade are buried.In the 80s, the incense tomb was excavated, but there was nothing inside.
[Foot binding] Originated in the Song Dynasty, foot binding was first popular in brothels, in order to cater to the preferences of scholars and doctors.The Manchus did not accept the foot-binding custom of the Han people, but foot-binding became popular among the Han people in all places and at all levels in the Qing Dynasty.In the third year of Chongde (1638), Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty ordered that women be prohibited from "tying their hair and binding their feet".In the 17th year of Shunzhi, it was stipulated that those who resisted the decree of footbinding, their husbands or fathers had eighty sticks and flowed three thousand miles.Kangxi reapplied for the previous order three years later, but did not implement it seriously.In the Qing Dynasty, banner people never bound their feet.The Han people believed that foot-binding was a custom of the Han people, and it was deliberately preserved. The so-called male descending and female not descending, was believed to be able to "preserve the dignity of the Han people." At the beginning of February 1902, Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict to discourage foot-binding, and said: "Han women are more likely to bind their feet. It has a long history and harms the harmony of creation. It is necessary to persuade them gently, in order to gradually get rid of the habit." Since then , the wind of foot binding gradually weakened.Therefore, none of the concubines and Manchu women in the Qing palace had their feet bound. Climbing the bottom of the flower pot was a symbol of the high-ranking status of the concubine, and it was also to imitate the posture of the Han people when they walked with their feet bound.
