Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

Qianlong listened to the officials' bewitching, and was very proud of recruiting female teachers and female students to the palace to "investigate knowledge". When hosting a banquet for local officials and celebrities at night, he was also joking and making witty remarks.

It's a pity that the throne was a little far from the guests, and the emperor sat behind a gauze curtain that partially covered his face. He couldn't see the emperor's face clearly until the banquet was over, when the officials and celebrities present were holding their rewards and thanking them.

The officials led the celebrities out of the palace. Hong Zhou leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Imperial brother, my younger brother asked Jiang Ning to weave and buy some young and beautiful Han women in Yangzhou a few years ago. They trained them and wanted to present them to the emperor. Brother to show filial piety."

"A young and beautiful Han woman?"

Qianlong's voice was a little subtle.

Hong Zhou explained: "These Han girls are skinny horses sold by their parents to rich families because of their poverty. They have learned some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they all know a few words. They bought the flower street painting boat, which has been lost to nowhere at this time, to send it to us, let alone learn court etiquette, and enter the palace to serve the emperor."

Qianlong was very happy to be coaxed by Hongzhou's flattery, and said with a smile: "In this way, this is also a merit for you!"

Hong Zhou said: "Brother Huang, I have never had any ambitions, I only seldom eat, drink and have fun. Of course, it is inevitable that I have tolerance and sympathy for beautiful and poor women..."

"Why does this sound a bit wrong?"

Qianlong judged others by himself, thinking that Hong Zhou wanted to accept Han women into the palace, and reminded: "Hong Zhou, Man and Han are not allowed to intermarry. As an orthodox clan relative, you must set an example. You must not be attached to Han women and do things that are degrading to your status." matter."

"Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother understands very well."

Hong Zhou turned around, clapped his hands, and let the Han women recruited from the Jiangning Weaving Department enter the palace hall to perform songs and dances, but he retreated quietly.

……

Outside the main hall, several elder brothers were waiting eagerly. Seeing Hong Zhou walking out, they hurriedly asked, "Fifth Uncle, Huang Ama—"

"Brother Huang is in a good mood now, but I suggest that you better not go in, and don't mention whether it is in accordance with the etiquette rules to let female teachers and female students come to the palace," Hong Zhou said, "Use other things to make him forget naturally. this matter."

"Uncle Wu is very right. If you mention it deliberately, it will make Huang Ama feel uncomfortable," Yong Qi agreed, "Huang Ama hates others to make decisions for him."

Yong Cong also said: "We will listen to Uncle Wu on this matter."

Only Yongxuan was innocent, and asked Hong Zhou: "Fifth Uncle, why did Huang Ama not let Sixth Uncle go with him on this trip to the south of the Yangtze River?"

"You sixth uncle..."

Hong Zhou's face was slightly cold when he heard the words, but he also knew that the fire could not be covered with paper, so he half-truthed and half-truthed: "You should all know that the sixth uncle is the empress dowager's flesh and blood. Your emperor Ama wants to go to the empress dowager Even if you are so sad that you can't control yourself, how can Hongzhan, as the empress dowager's own flesh and blood, not stay in the capital to observe his filial piety, but go out to have fun instead?"

"So that's how it is. After we return to the palace, we must spend more time with Uncle Liu..."

Several princes suddenly realized.

Hong Zhou then told them some principles of being a king and governing.

Although the princes received the emperor's education since they were young, it was only in the past six months that they really came into contact with power. They half understood Hong Zhou's warnings and at the same time felt enlightened. After listening to them, they all nodded in agreement.

……

……

Wenrou Township has been a tomb of heroes since ancient times, not to mention that Jiangning Weaving prepared for Qianlong Han women with meek and charming characters. Qianlong could enjoy their youth and gentleness without giving any promises about identity and status.

For three consecutive days, Qianlong hung out with the Han women in the dormitory, swallowing the clouds and mist, and really forgot about summoning the female teachers and female students.

Qianlong forgot about it, but local officials dared not.

They brought their bewildered female wives and female students to the palace to visit the palace, but they were intercepted halfway by the well-prepared Hong Zhou and a few older brothers, who falsely preached an imperial decree and brought the female wives and female students to the queen, The empress, concubine Shu and others were on their behalf to study the knowledge.

In the middle of Qianlong, chastity thoughts were serious. Although the female masters who went to teach in women's schools and the female students who studied in women's schools were more open-minded and advanced than their contemporaries, they could not surpass the limitations of the times after all. This matter has always felt honored and terrified, and I was relieved to know that I would be taken to see the queen by the nuns.

Walking in front of the queen, the female master led the female students to salute the queen, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ying, etc. She Shuxian asked them to get up, and asked them one by one about their knowledge. Concubine Shu also occasionally joined in and asked questions.

The female teachers and female students were timid and cautious at the beginning, and they stuttered when answering the questions, but as the questions deepened, everyone gradually forgot their identities, and began to argue and discuss earnestly and passionately. Concubine Shu was very happy, and before the debate was over, she would reward them with gold, silver and silk.

After the usual rewards, She Shuxian asked her mother to give them the "Dream of Red Mansions" that He Shen was in charge of publishing and printing a few years ago, saying: ""Dream of Red Mansions" says that the spirit of beauty in the world is only for women, and men are no more. They are just scum and foam. I hope that you will be like the women in this book, full of knowledge, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you will not let men down, but you will not be trapped in fate like the women in the book. In the end, you will be buried in mud and buried lifetime."

"Thank you, Empress, for the book and the words."

The girls thanked in unison, and one of the female students was especially bright-eyed. Seeing that She Shuxian liked it, she asked, "Whose family is this girl from?"

"In the words of the empress, the youngest girl's surname is Chen, her first name is Duansheng, and her style name is Yuzhen. Her father, Chen Yudun, was born in Juren, and her grandfather, Chen Zhaolun, is now the imperial student of the Imperial Academy."

"It turned out to be from a scholarly family, no wonder he has such a good temperament."

Concubine Shu looked at She Shuxian quite satisfied.

She Shuxian rewarded them with some published poems and novels, and told them: "Although Tang poetry and Song Ci are brilliant, most of them are written by men. If one day, women's works can also be written into books and volumes for people all over the world to read. Only then can people in the world know that women never lose to men."

When Chen Duansheng heard the words, although he was just thanking him, there was a faint brilliance in his eyes.

……

After the meeting, the nanny led the female wives and female students to leave. At this time, a eunuch trotted all the way to She Shuxian and said, "Empress, something big has happened!"

"What's the matter? So flustered?"

She Shuxian asked curiously.

The eunuch said in a trembling voice: "The emperor heard that there is a talented Xia Yingying by the Qinhuai River, and she is going to listen to the music in a micro-dress."

"what!"

Before She Shuxian made a statement, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Yu all stood up in shock.

"What a dignified status the emperor is, how can he go to such a place!"

The author has something to say:

Xia Yingying is coming~

Chen Duansheng is the author of "Rebirth"~
