Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

When receiving the invitation from Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Chengfeng was in a daze. It wasn't until Chunying Chunyin came to visit that he realized that it was because the perfume and essential oils were widely circulated among the noble ladies in the capital that alarmed the Empress Dowager. She is an old man.

Empress Dowager Zhang also liked these things very much, so she simply held a "Hundred Fragrance Conference" in the palace to invite all the women and ladies to enjoy the fragrance together.

"Then why did you ask me to go there?" Li Chengfeng was puzzled. First of all, his public identity was a monk. Although his rank was relatively high, he was still out of place in a crowded place.Now, his essential status can be regarded as an official of the imperial court, so it is not appropriate for him to attend such a lady's banquet.

"I'm not sure about that, then... will you go?" Chunyin looked at him with some trepidation, and Chunying also cast expectant eyes.Seeing the two of them like this, the words of refusal couldn't come out of their mouths.

Li Chengfeng is not a hungry ghost, such a place where women gather together also means that the risk of exposure is doubled, so he usually avoids it.But the two sisters, Chunying and Chunyin, were parachuted into the palace. They were already afraid of everything strange, and Chunyin complained to him more than once about the arrogance of Queen Mother Zhang.This time at the banquet, they don't know anyone in Beijing, so it's better to escort them yourself.

With a gentle smile, Li Chengfeng nodded, and Chunyin left and jumped up.

Zhu Houcong did not know where he got the news, and ordered the palace people to send three sets of clothes, which meant that his sisters should not show timidity. It was the first public appearance in the social circle, and they must be gorgeous!

I don't know who he followed for his strong and showy temperament. Li Chengfeng put on his clothes helplessly. That's right, Zhu Houcong also prepared for him... Fortunately, the style is still Daoist robe, but the material is good After a little, he can barely accept it.

On the same day, when the three of them met after washing up, Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up.Sisters Chunying and Chunyin are really different after wearing their fancy clothes, even a steel straight man like him can see the difference.Chun Yin smiled and said: "That's for sure, Master Jinghua, you don't know, my emperor brother often designs clothes for himself, and at that time he was the object that the Huguang family rushed to imitate."

Li Chengfeng: ...Yes, I didn't expect that kid to be a fashion icon.

Chunyin and Chunying are princesses, so naturally they don't have to arrive early, so the three talked for a while before rushing to Queen Mother Zhang.

The imperial garden has not been so lively for a long time. The emperor heard that Empress Dowager Zhang is going to hold a banquet, so he specially vacated this place today.All the girls gathered together, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.

When the only thousand-year-old in the Forbidden City, the current sister of the Holy One, came, the audience was obviously silent for a moment, and then returned to the past.Everyone didn't talk about it, but they were actually full of curiosity about the two princesses. The second day after they entered the palace, the emperor couldn't wait to give the two titles. It can be seen that several people have a deep relationship, so they all cheered up and carefully Handle.

Fortunately, the two sisters are not difficult to get along with. Chunying is meticulous and cautious, and Chunyin is lively and cheerful, and they soon find someone who can talk among them.

Li Chengfeng stood far away watching this scene with satisfaction, although he came with him.But she didn't go in until a little later, otherwise she imagined that the little eunuch also yelled a long series of "Taishang Daluo...the real person is here!" This scene made him so embarrassed that he flew up.

After winking with the two sisters, he walked around the back garden to rest in silence.It may be because the perfume essential oil has just been launched and everyone thinks it is fresh, or to cater to the name of the "Hundred Fragrance Conference", all the people present exude a strange fragrance, which made Li Chengfeng's brain ache. He didn't know how the woman endured it. Living with such a devastated sense of smell is really amazing!Li Chengfeng sighed in his heart.

There are already very few people in the backyard of the Imperial Garden, probably because they can't show their faces in front of the Queen Mother and the princess, and the scenery here is so-so, so most people don't want to come here.

Li Chengfeng was so happy that he took a nap on the rockery at random, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the voices of two young girls.

One of the voices was soft and waxy, making people feel as if a feather was gently brushing over her heart, and one couldn't help but fantasize about her appearance. At this time, the woman was crying, making her look even more pitiful, "Sister Wan, let's forget about it today." , the Queen Mother is hosting a banquet, so many people are here, what will she do if she loses a big face..."

"It's just to make her look bad! Otherwise, how can I get rid of my hatred!" Another girl's voice was clear and clear, and she felt that her temper was also hot-tempered.

"But her family is already miserable. Indeed, she used to make mistakes, but when no one made mistakes, today disturbed the Empress Dowager's elegance, the Empress Dowager must have hated it..."

"Stop rambling! See how I fix her today!"

Li Chengfeng became interested, oh oh oh!Did he witness the legendary harem battle scene with his own eyes?That's not right, the little kid is not married yet, so this is the ordinary girl Sibi?

The corners of her lips curled up playfully, although the first girl was persuading on the surface, but what she said was either reminding the other party that the person being taught "will make a fool of herself" or "will be hated" or she was just adding fuel to the fire.It's just that she is still young, and her thoughts are still a little obvious. She can kill her instantly in the student union of a modern university, so she can fool the fools around her.

With a funny mood, he began to observe secretly through the rockery.Because they were too far away, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could roughly see a red-clothed and a blue-clothed.

However, Li Chengfeng lost interest after only a few glances. The girl in red pulled a small rope on the ground, and when someone came, she fell over. Isn't this just a child's play trick.It's probably nothing wrong, at most a fall, it's just a fight between the girls, and Li Chengfeng didn't care about it.Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he saw the girl in blue throw something in front of the rope while no one was paying attention. Li Chengfeng's heart tightened, seeing blood would be boring.

Before he got up, he saw a plain-clothed woman approaching from a distance, different from those two, the woman looked a bit older and was already dressed as a plain person.She should have been called over by someone, looked around for a while, and then continued to walk forward.

Just as he was about to reach the trap, he suddenly heard a female voice.

"Wait a minute."

The woman turned her head and saw a female Taoist priest with outstanding appearance standing behind.The Taoist priestess in the imperial palace, she also knew who it was, she was the nobleman among the nobles, how could she take the initiative to talk to herself?The woman was puzzled, but she still asked softly: "Dare to ask what's the matter?" She is not very beautiful, but she has an outstanding temperament and a demure manner, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Li Chengfeng stepped forward, picked up a few small rusty iron nails on the ground, then noticed the lines on the ground, and stepped on them fiercely.

Hearing "Oops!", the girl hiding behind the rockery and holding the rope in her hand fell down due to force, revealing her figure.

The woman is not stupid, she immediately realized what was going on, and said with a bit of coldness: "Miss Fang, you are going too far."

The girl in red raised her head, revealing her astonishingly beautiful face. Seeing that the plan had been dismantled, she said angrily, "What! Your Huang family bullied us, Fang Wanru, what if I made you look ugly!"

Just as the woman was about to speak, she heard footsteps. She saw the girl in blue with a few servants and a group of spectators behind her. The girl anxiously said: "Quick! That's it, but what should I do, how unhappy the Queen Mother must be..."

But when she arrived at the scene, she found that the three of them were just standing there silently, even their hair was not messed up, and she couldn't help but froze.Immediately, his expression changed, and he pulled Fang Wanru's hand away nervously, "Sister Wan, how are you, is it alright?"

Fang Wanru shook her head, wondering, "What are these people doing here?"

The girl in blue rolled her eyes and whispered, "I saw the situation here from a long distance away. I was worried that you would suffer, so I brought someone to take a look." Although she was not as stunning as Fang Wanru, her eyebrows The room is lovely and pitiful, with a special style.

Hearing what she said, Fang Wanru didn't question her at all, but raised her head proudly: "What can I do if I don't need it!"

Li Chengfeng, who witnessed all this: "..." He finally saw some idiot beauties today, he really pretended to be idiots in his brain!Shaking his head, he stepped forward and sent the servant away with a few words. As he was, the others did not dare to object, so he hurriedly took orders to disperse. Before he left, Wan Ruo gave him a hard look, blaming him for sabotaging his plan.

Li Chengfeng didn't bother to talk to her, and felt that the so-called "Hundred Flowers Conference" was so boring that it would be more interesting to go to the alchemy room to do research. At this time, the woman who had been rescued walked up to him and bowed deeply: "Your Excellency Well, I am very grateful, and I will definitely visit you some other day." Li Chengfeng shook his head: "It's just a little effort, Madam doesn't need to."

However, he was still a little curious, and didn't know what to do, so he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what grievances that Fang Wanru has with you just now, why did he dare to provoke you on this occasion?"

"This..." The woman hesitated.

Li Chengfeng immediately realized that there might be something unspeakable, so he felt a little sorry and said: "I made a slip of the tongue, Madam doesn't need to reply."

"No, it's nothing. Now almost everyone in Beijing knows about our family's troubles." The woman smiled wryly, and continued: "The little girl's surname is Huang, and her name is only one word, and her father is Huang Ke, the Minister of Justice."

Li Chengfeng nodded, as expected, only ladies from official families could come to the "Hundred Flowers Conference".

Huang E said again: "Fang Wanru's family was married to Queen Mother Zhang's family. Although it has been a long time ago, the two families are still very close. His father Fang Sheng is a scholar, but his poems are well-known in Beijing. Logically speaking, our two families have never known each other, so there is nothing to talk about. It's just...Fang Wanru was engaged to the eldest son of Liu Shilang's family when he was a child. Later, the two families had a very unhappy relationship, and the marriage ended. After all, later, the eldest son of the Liu family married my younger sister. Fang Wanru didn't know who said that my Huang family took a fancy to the potential of the eldest son Liu, and took the marriage away from her. snatch..."

They said so on the lips, but both of them knew it in their hearts, eight or nine times out of ten it was the girl in blue who instigated it.

"After that, at a tea party, Fang Wanru came to trouble my sister. I couldn't bear it for a while, and I retaliated a few words, which made her look ugly. From then on, she hated me too." Huang E said rather In desperation, although Fang Wanru failed to accomplish anything and revealed more than he did, and always showed his flaws before making a move, he couldn't hold back all day long.

Li Chengfeng was amused to hear that, Fang Wanru was also very courageous, but because he knew the Zhang family, he dared to make trouble at the Queen Mother's banquet.

Huang E shook her head: "It's not just a simple acquaintance, the Taoist priest thinks why the Empress Dowager held this Hundred Flowers Conference?"

"Isn't it promoting perfume?" Li Chengfeng wondered.

"This is only secondary. The key point is that, at the age of 15, the phoenix seat of Kunning Palace has been idle for a long time..."

Li Chengfeng is struck by lightning, Zhu Houcong is only 15 years old!Now I am still a freshman in high school, and I am still a child in my heart, so why did I find a wife?

Huang E, however, misunderstood his expression. Thinking of the rumors about the two of them, she couldn't help feeling pity, and quickly said: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, the emperor will definitely not marry Fang Wanru."

"Ah?" Li Chengfeng didn't quite understand what she meant, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he asked incredulously, "Didn't Fang Wanru push for a kiss before? How did she enter the palace!?"

Huang E had no choice but to point the distance with her hands. Li Chengfeng immediately realized that what he said was true. Queen Mother Zhang also divorced people when she was young, so she definitely didn't care about it.

Back then, Empress Zhang was engaged to a scholar, but the scholar was seriously ill and couldn't get married as scheduled. It happened that the palace was electing a princess, and Empress Zhang's father asked his in-laws to withdraw the engagement, so that his daughter could participate in the election.Empress Zhang's ex-husband's family agreed, but she didn't expect that she would choose the crown princess. Emperor Hongzhi was very grateful to her ex-fiancé, and he didn't know if his brain was broken. official.

At this time, Li Chengfeng felt a little lost and a little happy, and more of a feeling of "my family has a son who has just grown up".Then he asked with great interest: "You said the emperor would not accept Fang Wanru, what do you mean?"

Huang E smiled: "Isn't this obvious? I have a rule since I came to court that concubines and voters do not elect officials. Although the Fang family took advantage of a loophole and met the conditions, they had too much personal relationship with the Queen Mother Zhang. I won’t sit idly by. The draft is a major national event, and the queen mother can’t cover the sky with one hand.”

"In addition, although the emperor is young, it can be seen from the previous few events that he is a man with a strategy in his chest, and he is not willing to be manipulated by others. I think Fang Wanru will never enter the Kunning Palace no matter what." But ordinary The probability of being a concubine is still very high. Huang E looked at Li Chengfeng and kept the second half of the sentence in her mouth without saying it. It is better not to tell her, lest the Taoist priest be sad.

Li Chengfeng listened with gusto. Although Huang E is a girl, she has broad horizons, profound thoughts, and humorous language, which are rare even among most men. Talking to her gave her a sense of enlightenment.In the end, Li Chengfeng began to be a little curious about his husband, and he didn't know who Sansheng was lucky enough to marry this talented woman with a poetic and literary spirit.

In the end, the banquet ended, and the two bid farewell, and agreed to meet again sometime.Li Chengfeng made up his mind to introduce her to the two princesses in the palace. Chunying Chunyin grew up in a deep house, and it would be of great benefit to them to have more contact with people like Huang E.

The next day, as Huang E said, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, led the crowd and demanded a talent show to fill the harem with the reason that "the harem is free, please spread the branches and leaves".

Huang E, a woman who was far away from the center of power, could see it, but how could Jiajing not know it, so he rejected the request with the excuse that "it was not long after the death of the first emperor, and he was still young for the first time as a great treasure".

At this time, he originally thought that the important ministers headed by Yang Yiqing would angrily reprimand Shouning Hou for his ill intentions, but he did not expect that they would not say a word in the court hall, and they looked like they were advancing and retreating with Shouning Hou. Crooked.

How did he know that the emperors in the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties had not had many heirs, and the ministers are now afraid, wishing that the emperor's harem would be three thousand, even if they were surrounded by women all day long, as long as they could give birth to a son, they would do anything!

But Zhu Houcong didn't care about these things. He was originally an extreme and stubborn character. Since he entered Beijing, he felt that all the nobles in Korea and Chinese were his enemies.It was not easy for Yang Tinghe to resign. His relationship with the officials had just broken ice, and now there is another incident like this.

The aggrieved feeling of being restrained by others and the longing in his heart for someone he can't ask for made him change his behavior in silence instead of breaking out in silence. , he started acting like a demon.

The little emperor sneered, aren't you willing to take care of the real family affairs, okay, let you take care of it.After he dismissed Zhang Heling's memorial, he didn't give the other party time to react, and with a swipe of a pen, he made Zhang Heling the Duke of Chang in the name of his meritorious service in "welcoming the new emperor".The Zhang family was appeased and stopped for a few days to find another way.

The ministers were discussing a lot, and Zhu Houcong issued another hand letter that shocked the government and the public, calling his father, Emperor Xingxian, the Emperor Kao Xingxian, and his mother, Jiang, the Queen Mother.From now on, Zhu Houcong has only one father!A mother!

All the officials were dumbfounded, Your Majesty, didn't we say that we should not mention this matter!Why did it turn out again? It's only been a few months!

But no matter how they persuaded, Jiajing always said "I don't listen or I don't listen, I just chant the scriptures", pretending to have made up my mind and refused to communicate.Not only that, maybe he was annoyed by the reading, so he simply transferred Zhang Cong who was far away in Nanjing, and let professional trolls deal with them.

Zhang Cong was worthy of being a person who was placed with high hopes by the emperor. Before he arrived in the capital, he did a major event first-the memorial opened fire on Yang Tinghe who had resigned from office.

Although this is just a statement, because everyone knows that even if Yang Tinghe Zhishi returns to his hometown, the emperor will not dare to touch him.But at this time, Yang Shoufu had just left not long ago, and Yu Wei was still there. Zhang Cong, a small sixth-rank official and a second-class Jinshi, dared to attack him.

The most frightening thing is that there are more people supporting him this time than before!Some of them are Yang Tinghe's political opponents, who hope to nail him to death, and the other party is a disciple of Wang Shouren, whom Yang Tinghe suppressed before, with a school of thought.You must know that not only Yang Tinghe, but also his son Yang Shen publicly slandered Xinxue several times.Many Xinxue disciples have tried to refute him, but Yang Shen is so talented, quick-witted and quick-spoken, he almost vomits blood when he is so angry. Yang Shen has only one thought-your Xinxue is nothing!How can this not make people itch with hatred.

The officials who supported Yang Tinghe before directly fry the pot. This is to steal their own base!So they all scolded Zhang Cong with all their brains, and all of a sudden, they jumped up and down in the hall, and no one cared about whether the emperor married a wife or not.

Jiajing spends his days leisurely working and spending time with his family, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the fights between the gangs below, feeling proud and bored at the same time.I feel that the so-called famous ministers are just like that. I am like a dog, throwing a bone at random, and there will be a bunch of people rushing to bite it.

The first person who noticed his mentality problem was naturally Li Chengfeng, whom he often met.At the beginning, when I asked the dead child, he still refused to admit it, but only after being exposed did he speak out what was in his heart.

Li Chengfeng was secretly shocked after hearing this, and could only say that no matter how history changes, is Jiajing really Jiajing?A genius who plays tricks on people's hearts, he has only been enthroned for a few months, and he is already so proficient in using the art of the emperor, and I haven't seen him study it much.

I don't know what is going on in my child's mind all day long, but it won't work if it goes on like this. Boys still need to be more sunny at such a young age.

So, regardless of Jiajing's objection, he insisted on taking him out of the palace for a private visit to observe the common people, with the purpose of letting him relax.

Zhu Houcong had a hundred reluctances: "It's not like I've never seen civilians before. The lives of the people in Anlu are much more difficult than those in the capital, and the memorials are being reviewed every day. It would be nice to have this time to read and write in the palace."

Li Chengfeng was speechless: "Is this the point? Your majesty, you are only 15 years old. Don't live like a little old man every day. You can feel better by going out for a walk. Besides, this is different from the TV series. Isn't the emperor very happy?" Do you like private visits in micro-services? Why are you so nerdy when it's your turn?"

Zhu Houcong didn't understand what TV series he was talking about, so he rolled his eyes and didn't pursue it. He muttered in his mouth: "There are dirt roads outside, and a piece of ashes goes in. When you go out, you will wear a curtain. If it weren't for the people around you Many, I want to wear one too."

"Let's go! My delicate pig boy!" Li Chengfeng pushed him with a smile, and finally let him leave the palace.

At this time, Beijing had a large population, and the urban construction was not very good. They came out just in time for dinner, and they felt that there were people everywhere.

Li Chengfeng looked around and felt that there were too many people and it was a bit dangerous, so he followed the little emperor's wishes and went to a teahouse to rest.Li Chengfeng was really not used to the wind blowing the drapery, he was not used to being courteous to ordinary people, so he simply took it off indoors.

Now the restaurant is crowded with people, and the most popular storyteller in the restaurant is telling stories in front of the stage holding a gavel.Secular novels were highly prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and many literati began to write books for their livelihood or pure interest. Today, the storyteller is talking about a strange case seen in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Chengfeng: "..." What the hell is this? He doesn't study much. Isn't Wu Zetian from the Tang Dynasty? !He felt speechless, but the audience below were mesmerized, and when the storyteller took a break in the middle, they kept applauding.

Curling his lips in disdain, Zhu Houcong said to the people next to him: "The story you told me on the road is better, it is a hundred times better than this."

But the place where they did it was close to the storytelling stand, and before Li Chengfeng could reply, the storyteller said disdainfully: "Kids, you know what a fart, you can also listen to books?"

Zhu Houcong was irritated. He was not angry at the man's attitude, but felt that his aesthetics had been questioned, so he quickly stood up to argue with him.

Because they were worried about being conspicuous and dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, the storyteller thought they were wealthy businessmen, and he had a big backer behind his teahouse, so he didn't fear them at all, so he quarreled with Zhu Houcong.

After arguing and arguing, Zhu Houcong simply pushed Li Chengfeng up and asked him to speak to everyone present alone.

The storyteller sneered: "I'd like to see what tricks this girl can do." The audience below were booing one after another.

Li Chengfeng: "..." This time I took the little emperor out to relax, why did he raise the bar with others again, I am convinced!

Things have come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and push the ducks to the shelves. After thinking about it, he is a Jin Yong fan, or a book about his idol.

So he slapped the table with a "snap" and spoke slowly.

The author has something to say: 1. Although I don’t like the emperor Hongzhi very much, he is actually okay. In the Ming Dynasty, he was one of the few who had serious business, but when he met Queen Zhang, he became dizzy. He did something to Queen Zhang. , including but not limited to:

1. As long as they are relatives of Queen Zhang, all of them can be appointed officials and give money.

2. Passionate rival gave him his wife, Empress Zhang's ex-fiancé and ex-fiancé's brother, he both made officials

3. When the queen was sick, she personally served and fed the medicine, accompanied her from side to side, and even tried her best to hold back her own cough, for fear of disturbing the queen's rest.

4. When his father-in-law died, the cemetery he sealed was several times larger than his father's tomb, and he specially built a luxurious palace in the palace for his mother-in-law to live in.

5. When he was eating, he saw that the tableware used by his mother-in-law was different from that of himself and the queen, so he ordered to replace the tableware of his mother-in-law with the same ones.

6. (Legend) There is a champion Jinshi because he wrote a sentence during the palace examination: The emperor spends more time in the queen's bedroom than in his own.As a result, the number one scholar could not be made.

Although many people in later generations questioned their relationship, I still think it is true love, because if it is fake, it is really unnecessary to do this step.

About Yang Shen

Yang Shen not only criticized Xinxue, but also criticized Confucianism, especially Zhu Xi, who almost pointed his nose and scolded others for being a skinny old dog.

So don't get me wrong, he's not targeting anyone

To him it's all rubbish

The most annoying thing is that he is talented and has a good memory. Others can't criticize him. Sure enough, he is afraid that he is educated...
