Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Nala knew that Wu Deya didn't like her because Hong Zhou didn't like her, but she didn't show it at all, and when they met, she gave him a jade-inlaid snuff bottle with compartments.Wu Deya knew that it was for Hong Zhou to put the snuff bottle, so she took Xie En.Her heart disease towards the queen is getting deeper and deeper, not because Hongzhou misses the queen, but judging from the smuggling case, Nala is completely using Hongzhou, taking advantage of Hongzhou's love for her, even though it is Hongzhou's. Wishful thinking, but people are not plants, how could she make full use of Nalashi without thinking about it for Hong Zhou at all?I have also served her for a long time, not to mention the credit, I have worked hard, and I have worried about her.So the two of them exchanged a few words of polite greetings, and then both fell silent.Fortunately, there was also Yongxuan's wife and concubine sitting with him, so he wouldn't be too cold.

The emperor routinely built yurts for hunting.The queen's yurt is very delicate. The curtain is made of yellow dolomites printed with red flowers, and the top is made of red and black printed doraemons along the shape. There are a middle door and two side doors. The middle door is also equipped with a silk floor Painted partition and horizontal eyebrows.The horizontal eyebrows are decorated with flower and bird pictures, and the emperor's imperial poems are written on both sides.The upper part of the partition is decorated with water pictures, and the lower part of the apron and belt ring are decorated with cloud dragon, sea water and river cliff patterns respectively.Copper hooks are set equidistantly on the back of the curtain cover for hanging in the bag and functioning as a partition.The curtain cover is lined with thick white velvet, which is good for heat preservation inside the bag, and the western-woven doraemon is light and thin, which is not only good for decoration, but also easy to disassemble and install.The painting on the clapboard was painted by court painter Chen Mei and written by Yu Minzhong, which is very elegant.The overall layout of the curtains is the same as that of the royal room, and now the three door curtains are all rolled up high.

But Wu Deya laughed secretly in her heart, the majestic and dignified queen of the middle palace has nothing but fame and glory, she only has face but no face, she can still be in the middle palace all these years, it is entirely dependent on Hong Zhou.

The Eleventh and Twelfth Elder Brothers were shooting targets with small bows outside the yurt. Yuan Chunwang accompanied the guards and eunuchs to wait on him. Zhener often applauded the Twelfth Elder Brother. Nala often praised Yongxuan. Others said that the two Everyone is nice.Yongzheng is eight years old, and he goes to study in the study. Zhen'er loves him very much.However, Nala thinks that his son is not outstanding. He can't read, ride and shoot better than the eleventh elder brother of the same age. He knows that Zhener has no children of his own, and Yuan Chunwang also thinks in general. He only said a few hasty and perfunctory words.

At this time, the weather is already cool, and there are all kinds of small animals foraging for food and storage for the winter on the hills of the royal hunting ground. The leaves are falling, but the maple leaves are quiet and beautiful, the ancient pines are towering, accompanied by the turbulent stream, which is pleasant and refreshing.The emperor routinely ran for a while with all his concubines, and finally took Concubine Rong and two hounds deep into the dense forest, trampling through shallow water, chasing each other, and laughing all the way.The emperor said that Concubine Rong was riding a horse really well now, and Concubine Rong laughed: This is all thanks to Xiaoer, he is a good master the emperor has found.

During these two days, the emperor had a great time shooting geese and ducks, shooting rabbits, deer, deer and roe deer.The emperor taught Concubine Rong to pass the arrow to him.Every time the time came and she was asked to deliver the arrow, because she had to ride the horse and deliver the arrow during the fast march, Concubine Rong was so nervous that she was in a hurry. After two days of practice, she became a lot more proficient.Fukang'an kept cheering for the emperor and Concubine Rong in the guard team behind.The emperor also taught Fukang'an to use a gun for the first time. Concubine Rong looked at the two father and son, feeling very comfortable.

Concubine Rong also particularly liked the red sandalwood table with living legs that the emperor brought with him when he went hunting.

Closed up, it is a rectangular box, and the eight corners around it are covered with gold-plated copper nails with chiseled and chiseled flakes.There is a copper gilt built-in lock on the front of the lid.In order to facilitate the switch, there are two movable metal hinges on the back.Inside the box are two drawers of the same size, and each drawer is divided into two layers of grids of different shapes and sizes, which can hold more than 60 pieces of stationery and daily necessities.

If the box is opened, the cover and the bottom of the box can be combined into a table top, and then the four square table legs decorated with fretwork are pulled out from the box grooves on the four sides and fixed with copper-gilt concealed buckles, and the box becomes a folding table. small kang table.A small wax table can also be installed at night, and a rectangular semicircle windshield is set on the upper left side of the table.This box table is exquisitely designed, convenient and practical, especially reflecting the wisdom of skilled craftsmen.

The emperor would take it with him when he went out, on tours to the south and east, to Nanyuan, Miyun, etc., because the things in the drawer box were all his daily necessities.

On the third day, the emperor was dressed in a neat brown robe, riding a white and brown-spotted "Er Yunqi", wearing a red-tasseled black-brimmed hat, with red and gold flower intertwined sacks and a blue and gold sack of Hindustan sapphire sheep's head pinned to his waist. Sheath dagger.Concubine Rong wears two twisted braids, and also wears a hat with red tassels and black brim. The upper and lower yellow robes are printed with almond wood patterns, and the vest of the same color is also printed with almond wood patterns, which is full of Hui style. The sapphire curly grass pattern of Chendustan held a long knife with a dragon beard and red sheath, and handed him an arrow while riding on a horse.The crotch|lower steed "Ruyi Cong" is off-white with pebble-sized spots on its body. Its calves, hooves and mane are charcoal black, and it is equipped with a gorgeous saddle and fretted blanket.

The two rode together and only shot a panicked big-horned elk.The emperor taught her to play the deer whistle, which imitated the sound of deer to attract the deer to come and shoot.

Fu Heng took Yingluo with him, and was on guard duty this day. He went in the same direction as the two of them, but after running, he fell behind Doro and the guards.Yingluo used the Sunite Right Banner saddle that Doro gave her, and she also shot a rabbit with a small bow two days ago, but she didn't see any prey on the way today.

After running for a while, the two let their horses go slowly.Yingluo took a good look at the "Pilixiang" that Fu Heng was riding, which was the emperor's royal horse, and the yellow "Zizai" that she was riding was also a BMW in the Shangsi courtyard. "Pilixiang" is snow-white all over, with gray-brown spots on its four calves, and it is paired with red saddles and red tassels.Fu Heng was wearing a black smoked mink round hat, a gown with ochre-gold embroidered horseshoe sleeves inside, a black-gold squirrel leather jacket with a black gold overlay, black gold flower soap boots, and a gray-green embroidered soft leather bag tied around his waist. Well, his whole body from head to toe, from the thread selection to the design of the pattern, and starting from the loom, she did it all by herself!And the embroidery on the bag is hand-embroidered Gu embroidery.

After returning from the southern tour in 22, Yingluo wrote to ask the emperor to give her the "Han Ximeng, Song and Yuan Famous Sites" in the palace. The sachet she embroidered for Fu Heng in the early years was the seventh "Picture of Lentils and Dragonflies" in it.Han Ximeng is Gu's daughter-in-law, and she founded Gu Embroidery.There is a significant difference between Gu embroidery and Manchu embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, etc. It is not an embroidery of a region, but is embroidered with needles imitating the brushwork of painting. The silk threads and base materials used are all selected top-grade, and the embroidery is vivid and unique in hand embroidery. .That's why she embroidered the sachet for Fu Heng back then.

In addition to the work in the pharmacy these years, she has continued to specialize in weaving and embroidery. During her journey westward, she also learned Qiang embroidery and the most representative Hami embroidery in Huijiang.When she was in Jinchuan, Gelai gave her a set of Qiang costumes embroidered by herself, including a gown, a vest, apron and a kerchief, which were made a little smaller according to her figure, and a set of silver collar and silver earrings were also attached. Wear with this suit.

The silver collar is in the shape of a golden lock pendant with tassels, and the earrings are similar, with long tassels.She also likes the thick peacock green earthen cloth with oblique black checks, the waist down is all spliced ​​with complicated embroidery, the belt is red flower and fruit embroidery, and there is a circle of small silver inverted butterflies sewn on the outside. There were three small copper bells hanging from a little butterfly, ringing crisply on her body, reminding her of the cheerful golden bells in "White Feather Dance".

At that time, she praised her, but Gelai only said that she was not as good as her sister, and that her sister made things quickly and well!Many of Langka's clothes now are still made by her sister at that time, and there are still new ones in the box that have not been worn.Langka only wears clothes made by their sisters, and only the two of them make the cloth shoes she wears at home and the embroidery needlework she uses for herself.Yingluo then thought of the gorgeous white satin dress he wore when she first met Langka. In fact, it was also made by her sister. Langka only wore it on the most formal occasions, so it still looked very new.

Gelai also said that she was inferior to Sister in everything, she couldn't sing, she was not good at dancing and Qiang flute, she could only work hard on embroidery, but she was not as good as Sister, besides raising so many children, God was really unfair, she I also feel that I owe my sister.Yingluo laughed and said: You were born so beautiful, how could you be born in vain?

Gelai shook his head and said: Aisha is also very beautiful, and sister is also beautiful, but not as beautiful as me.Langka has never given anything to me and sister, nor to Aisha. What he gave was his heart.The name Sa Sa was chosen by me, one Sa is the Sa of our Qiang Sarang goddess, in memory of Ajie, and the other Sa is the Sa of Lhasa.Only then did Yingluo know that Sasa's name was not only because of Aisha.

Gelai said again: At that time, my sister held my hand and said that she felt lucky that Langka married me back then, otherwise she would not be at ease if Langka was handed over to another woman, because she knew me well, and I was her. Taught, she left and me.Ask me to promise her not to let Langka marry another woman.At that time, I didn't quite understand what she said. Later, I really understood that sister is not only worried that other women have other intentions to worry about me, but she treats Langka really... I can't keep up with sister's treatment of him.He said with a proud and sweet smile.

At that time, Yingluo felt very sour in her nose, and tears rolled down, thinking of these two poems in her heart: "The spring silkworms will not die until the silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and the tears will dry."Gelai also said: Langka should like Ajie, his and my happiness are actually given by Ajie, and everything I have today is also given by Ajie.Gelai also showed her the two pairs of slightly faded Yunyun shoes, one red and one black, a perfect match for each other.Yingluo is an embroiderer herself and has a difficult past with Fu Heng, so she can especially understand the painstaking efforts of lovesickness and lovesickness.Why say a thousand words?You don't blame me and I don't blame you.

The three-person couple in Jinchuan always makes her feel that she has touched the softest corner of her heart. Because of her simplicity, she is more affectionate, so Ge ​​Songcai is "deep in love and will not live long". Like the former empress, I feel that she is weak. She should have a son, but she knew that the emperor wanted a legitimate son, and after giving birth to the seventh elder brother, she became even weaker. Who would have thought that the seventh elder brother... her embroidery was taught by sister Yingning, without her, she would not have met Fucha Sister and brother, without the teaching achievements of the first queen sister, she would not be where she is today.After getting acquainted with Langka and his wife, Qiang embroidery became her new favorite, not only because of embroidery, but also because of the incident in Lewuwei.

Yingluo also brought back a few Hami pillows from back to Xinjiang. During the period when Fu Heng was in Wushi, she and Ruidong invited a master to teach embroidery at the General's Mansion. Xiang Xuan learned it very quickly, much better than Mingyu back then. It seems that there are just no good masters.Similar to the pillows used in the Central Plains, Hami pillows are in the shape of a four-sided rectangle, with various colored satins and flat seals as the bottom, black fabric along the edge, and floral patterns embroidered in the middle. The colors are bright and full, reflecting the vibrant oasis scenery.She kept two, and gave the rest to Hai's mother-in-law and Rong Rong.Thinking that she would have time to embroider a piece of Hami embroidery and send it to Shen Bi. She is an embroidery expert and knows all kinds of embroidery methods by analogy. It's just that she doesn't have so much time to do hand embroidery now, and she often uses a loom.

Then she looked at the sheath knife on Fu Heng's waist again.The scabbard is made of wood, covered with green shark skin, and the sheath is purple.This knife has a great origin, it is "Yi Bilong knife", that is, the waist knife worn by Ye Bilong back then.During the Battle of Jinchuan in the 12th year of Qianlong, Nebilong's grandson, who was then a scholar of the Baohe Palace, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the leader of the military aircraft, Neqin led the army as the Minister of Economics and Strategy. The army was defeated, and the emperor angrily seized his post , sent a great scholar Fu Heng to replace him, and gave him the Nibilong Sword.In the 14th year of Qianlong's reign, Eshi, the bodyguard, was ordered to suppress the Bilong sword, and together with Fu Heng, executed him before the army.From then on, every time Fu Heng went hunting with the emperor, the emperor gave him hang up.

Seeing that Yingluo kept looking at him, Fu Heng smiled and said: What's the matter?Yingluo looked at the white jade wrench on his thumb again, the whole body was smooth, only relying on the luster of white jade, round, natural and elegant, proudly said: Master Fu Heng is so handsome!Fu Heng smiled and said: That's also thanks to Madam!While he was talking, he suddenly heard a muffled roar and the barking of hounds in front of him.Fu Heng was taken aback, and immediately said excitedly: This is a tiger!Let's catch up!As soon as she said that she could ride the horse, Yingluo immediately urged the horse to follow.

Fu Heng rode his horse through the ranks of soldiers and guards, and galloped to the emperor. Sure enough, he saw a white-fronted tiger standing on a small slope in front of him. Two hounds, Ru Huangbao and Frost Flower Harrier, also stood upright beside the horse, with sharp eyes and ears, staring at the fierce tiger.Behind the emperor is Doro who reined in his horse.Concubine Rong and Fu Kang'an were tied behind Doro, not far from the emperor's side.Yingluo urged her to come right away, and whispered to Concubine Rong: Today is really interesting!No wonder there are no prey in this forest, they were all scared away by it!Concubine Rong's eyes were bright, she stared at the tiger excitedly, and said with a smile: The emperor said this is a good omen!Fukangan rode on the pony and held the reins tightly.

The two of them were whispering, when suddenly they heard the fierce tiger roaring up to the sky, like a thunderbolt in the middle of the sky, the leaves beside the shock trembled violently, all the horses were frightened, raised their front hooves and roared, everyone reined in their horses one after another.The two hounds barked.Doro shouted: "Ru Huang Leopard, Frost Flower Harrier, keep silent!"The two hounds calmed down, still staring at the tiger, ready to go.A guard came up from behind and took the two dogs by the hand.Fu Heng quietly drew the bow and set the arrow.The emperor turned his head and looked back, and Doro handed him a halberd.

When Concubine Rong saw that the emperor was about to stab the tiger, her complexion turned pale.Yingluo was full of excitement, watching the three emperors nervously.Fu Kang'an looked at the emperor, then at Fu Heng, his heart was pounding, and his palms were covered with sweat.The soldiers of the Tiger Spear Battalion in the back also got off their horses, scattered far away and surrounded a large circle, high and low, surrounded the people and the tigers, and lined up their guns to serve.The emperor said: No shooting is allowed without my order!Just don't let it get away!Then he stepped off the horse.Both Fu Heng and Doro got off their horses, Fu Heng slowly drew his bow again, and Doro also held a long halberd with the emperor.

The emperor shoots tigers with three kinds of arrows.

One is to shoot the tiger's horn (bao4) arrow, which is an essential weapon for officers and soldiers.Arrow shafts are mostly made of poplar wood, about two feet nine inches long, and cymbals are wooden balls used to replace arrowheads. Most of them are spherical or cylindrical. Holes; arrow feathers are lacquered and carved feathers.The stewed arrow will make a whistle-like sound during flight, and because the arrow is cylindrical, it will not hurt the tiger's precious fur, and it can only expose its body after suffering pain, so that the hunter can determine the target and proceed to the next step of hunting.

The second is to shoot the tiger's head (pi1) arrow.The 鈚爚arrow is specially used to hunt large animals, and the arrow used to shoot tigers is called the 鈚爚针.The arrowhead of the 鈚arrow is a pentagon with a width of nine minutes and a length of one foot and five inches. It is known as "rust and not sharpened", which means that even if the arrow is rusty, it does not need to be sharpened, which shows that it is sharp.Most of the arrow stalks are made of poplar wood, two feet nine inches long, and the head of the shaft is covered with spade skin.The head of the arrowhead is wide and sharp, so it has a long range. Once the tiger is hit, it will cause a large wound and bleeding.Even if the tiger is injured and escapes after being shot, it will gradually lose its strength due to excessive bleeding, and it can be easily captured by following the blood.

The third is to shoot tiger crossbow | arrows.Its power is much greater.Tiger Crossbow | Arrows are the arrows used when equipped with the Tiger Crossbow.The front end of the arrow is sharp, with barbs at the back, about three inches long; the arrow shaft is also made of poplar wood, two feet nine inches long, and the head of the shaft is covered with spade skin, but the arrow feathers are double carved feathers facing each other on the left and right.The firing mechanism of the crossbow is different from that of the bow. In terms of power, it can be called an enhanced version of the bow. The crossbow | arrows fired naturally have stronger penetrating power. Once a tiger is hit by this kind of tiger crossbow | It will be deeply buried in the flesh, and you can't pull it out even if you want to pull it out. If it hits a vital point, it will easily kill you with an arrow.

What Fu Heng pulled out from the bag was this extremely powerful tiger crossbow|arrow.
