Volume 7 29, put a little devil
"As a matter of fact, you are becoming more and more majestic as the Central Palace, and you know more and more how to be a mother in the world."
The Empress Dowager spoke in a deep voice, slowly sat upright, but her eyes moved away from the face of Nara.
"Ask yourself, I am the Empress Dowager, and I have met anyone who has not kept the rules of the palace in recent years, but I can't be lenient, but I just locked the palace gate and temporarily confine myself. I didn't even say who would kneel in front of me."
Nara was also slightly stunned.
What does the Empress Dowager mean? He is just a woman from Hui tribe and is not the princess of the Manchu and Mongolian family!
The Empress Dowager's attitude at this time seemed to be a little different from before.
The Empress Dowager turned her eyes back, and looked at Nara with a hint of anger, "Empress, I want to ask, how do you view the concubines in this harem? In your heart, you are the main palace, they are concubines; you are the master, they are slaves, are you? So when you punish them, there is no hesitation. Therefore, the nobles in the palace can only say punishment for kneeling, and one punishment is for six months, and you will not say hello to the emperor and me at all, right?"
Nara narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her eyes to meet the Empress Dowager.
——This is what she did, was she wrong?
Although Nara held back and didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager looked at Nara's expression and understood what Nara's pressure meant.
The Empress Dowager sighed and shook her head, "But any lord in this harem is not only the emperor's side room, but also the lord of the inner court of my Qing royal family! Their face is also the face of my Aixin Gioro family, which is the demeanor of my Qing royal family! A tree is a skin and a person is a face. If you ask them to kneel in front of the slaves... Then the kneeling is not only them, but also the demeanor of my royal family!"
"If you are the queen master, if they are wrong, you can't punish them according to the palace rules. But you always have to distinguish what to punish and how to punish them! It's just a punishment for kneeling. Has there anyone who punished a noble man to kneel for six months? This is not the dignity of the central palace, it's simply a waste of lynching!"
"Besides, I have just heard that what is wrong with the nobles themselves? It is just that they don't respect Buddha and don't burn incense, which is contrary to the rules of my ancestors who respect the royal rituals and worship Buddha. But you only need to be honest. Why bother to punish them? How can you punish them for six months?!"
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh, "Empress, my Buddha is merciful. You use this method to force the nobles to worship Buddha. I want to ask you, is this what the Buddha is willing to see?"
Nara breathed heavily. Although she did not confront the Empress Dowager, the hardness in her eyes could not be concealed - or, she herself did not want to hide it at all, she wanted the Empress Dowager to see her unwillingness to agree.
The emperor glanced at him from afar, his eyes cold and light.
It was as if my mother was not quarreling with her daughter-in-law in front of me. As a son, not only did she not have any nervousness, but she did not have any dilemma in the middle of the room. She even had a little joy to watch the wall, and she swung her sleeves and had a clean breeze.
However, after the Empress Dowager Zi finished speaking, the old lady's eyes rose again and floated towards him. He had to put away the part and hang up high, coughed gently, and spoke at the right time.
"Empress, I will ask you one thing: You are my queen. Do you have your eyes to see any gods with names in the world, whether in the palace or in this garden, from the last emperors of all generations to me, who have worshipped in various Buddhist cities and temples?... These gods and Buddhas of the heavens, different sects, different methods, ancestors and I have offered to you?"
"No matter whether it is the traditional belief of our Manchus outside the pass, I have specially built a temple to worship; if it is Buddhism, Taoism, or which sect, I have left it?"
The Nara clan was speechless.
The emperor was right. In addition to the temple, there were small Buddhist temples built in the East Warehouse in every palace in the palace and the garden, and then to the Taoist Ruiying Palace in the garden... Even Mr. Guan and Mr. Rabbit offer everything.
The emperor looked at his queen carefully. Whenever she was so stubborn and couldn't say a word, the emperor didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
In fact, she is also a person who likes to talk? She just doesn't say anything when he wants to hear her say a few truths and useful words; or she is really impatient and yells, and can't say anything that he likes to hear or useful words.
He had thought before that he would communicate with her seriously. After all, it was the emperor and the empress, and even if he didn't care about her, he had to care about the position of the Empress of the Qing Dynasty... But after so many years, what he left him was disappointment, disappointment again and again.
By this time, he was fifty years old and was too lazy to argue with others anymore. In this way, since she didn't say anything, she would let her go. Anyway, over the years, he had long been used to not caring whether she said or not, or what she said in the end, he no longer cared about it.
If you haven't expected it, you will naturally not be disappointed.
So he calmed down and even shrugged slightly, "I am the common ruler of the world. Any god believed in by the people should naturally represent the subjects and worship them together. Therefore, there is no god here that should not be worshipped, and there is no reason. Because we don't know much, we dare to blaspheme the gods."
The emperor's long eyes were flowing darkly, and his slender fingers leisurely tapped the Khotan white jade ring on his thumb.
"Empress, you are my central palace and should have the same heart and virtue as me. Over the years, I have never had any high expectations for you. I have never expected you to be more virtuous than Xiaoxian and Huixian. I have only just a little demand for you - do your central palace and don't mess with me!"
"But, Queen, is this really that difficult for you? After so many years, you really don't disappoint me - you haven't done it at all!"
"In the past, you were young, straight and willful, and I was willing to give you time. I always felt that you should have the day to grow up and become sensible-but now, how old are you, do you really forget? Do you say you are a woman in her forties, and you have the nerve to say "young and ignorant"?"
The emperor sighed lightly, his eyes slowly leaped up, and he quietly turned around the Empress Dowager.
"You regard my Qing Dynasty queen as such over the years, but you still say 'I am the mother of the Qing Dynasty'... Oh, queen, now I am fifty, you are still this age, and princes and princesses, and even grandsons have grown up. You say yourself, how dare you expect me to come and educate your sons, lead the harem, and behave in the world, huh?"
What the emperor said...is wrong!
Nara felt that her throat seemed to be blocked by broken cotton wool, and she was wrapped around her threads, unable to spit it out or swallow it. When she was blocked by it, she felt too much unwilling to yell in front of the Empress Dowager, but at this moment, she looked up at the emperor with such a look, but she still hesitated.
Although the emperor today even had a smile in his long eyes and did not lose his temper like before, his words today have already come to the topic of the inequality of the Central Palace.
