Chapter 18 We are both fallen people at the end of the world
He Xi originally had short hair, but during the Hongwu period, he began to grow it. After all, in this era, it was very rude for a man to have short hair. But hair growth has its own rules. He Xi estimates that when his hair can be styled into a bun
.It will take about half a year to a year.
Following the local customs, He Xi always wore a hat before his hair grew.
At this time, what this child did was quite rude. It was like taking off someone else's pants in public.
How can you be rude? He Xi couldn't stand up to the naughty kid's parents. He didn't know who this naughty kid was, but from the naughty kid's clothes, he knew he must be a prince.
No matter what, I can only endure it.
Fortunately, the King of Chu was a sensible person. When he saw this, he sternly scolded: "Old Shi, what are you doing?"
He Xi knew who it was as soon as he heard it. After all, the sons of the big boss still need to know a thing or two. This one is the most incompetent among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. King Lu, posthumously named King Huang. Listening to this posthumous name,
Moreover, this posthumous title was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. When you hear this posthumous title, you will know something, and it was certified by his own father.
The things he had done, including robbing the people, killing his own guards and maids, and even killing high-ranking officials at the commander level, were simply lawless.
Now this King Lu is eleven years old. His character has almost been finalized.
He was reprimanded by the King of Chu, but he didn't panic at all and said: "Sixth brother, I haven't seen a real monk. I just have a look." He asked He Xi curiously and said: "Why is your head not shiny? And
There’s no fragrant scar yet, right?”
These words are simply disrespectful to the extreme.
He Xi's mouth twitched, and she wanted to ask this naughty kid back. Why don't you ask your dad? I am a fake monk, and your dad is the real monk. But he can't say these words.
King Chu couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and took the hat from King Lu. He handed it to He Xi and said, "Secretary He, my brother is not sensible, please forgive me."
What could He Xi say? He took the hat with both hands and put it on his head. He said, "King Lu, you are innocent and innocent, and you will achieve great things in the future."
King Lu was able to achieve great things, probably because he served as a case study for his father.
When King Chu heard this, he knew that King Lu had offended Secretary He very badly. This was sarcasm. To be honest, King Chu was a little uncomfortable. After all, King Lu was his younger brother. And He Xi was just a minister.
How can you talk like this?
However, the King of Chu has a palace after all. He knows that He Xi is really favored by his father, and he is about to take the vassal. There is no need to offend He Xi. Moreover, the King of Chu and the King of Lu are not born from the same concubine, and the King of Lu is not the same.
A man who knows how to be a good person may not be very respectful to his brother, and the King of Chu did not want to give this to the King of Lu. That is to say, he did not say much.
He Xi originally felt that he was out of place here, but something like this happened again. He bowed and saluted and said, "I am ill, so I can't accompany you. Please forgive me, Your Highnesses." Then He Xi looked around, bowed, and withdrew.
After a few steps, he walked out.
King Chu watched He Xi go and said to King Lu: "This Secretary He has a temper. You have to be careful."
King Lu didn't care at all and said, "I'm just a slave. There's nothing to be careful about."
He Xi's back paused slightly, as if she heard what was said behind her, and then left.
He Xi left the side hall and didn't know where to go for a while.
Go back to your room and forget to charge it today. After all, the solar power bank needs to be basked in the sun. And the people in the palace are talkative. Every time he basks in the sun, he is very careful when using his computer and mobile phone.
There is no point in going back now.
I also suffered from anger today and felt very uncomfortable. So I walked around casually and came to the garden of Qianqing Palace.
The garden of Qianqing Palace is not as big as the Imperial Garden. It only has a few small scenes, just some bamboos.
He Xi cleaned a stone and sat on it. He looked up at the moon outside and thought of modern life. In fact, the incident of a naughty child alone would not make He Xi so uncomfortable. Because He Xi learned from this incident I feel the difference between the Hongwu period and later generations. Generally, there are ways to cure the naughty children in later generations. Even Xiong’s parents may not be unable to cure them. But in this era, as the prince of King Lu, this naughty child. He Xichu just talked about it. There is no way to cure it by taking advantage of it or complaining to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because the prince is more noble than you. The word feudal hierarchy jumped out of He Xi's mind.
What King Lu said behind him was heard by He Xi. He was just a slave. And He Xi came through time and was not a slave. If he had never seen freedom, he could tolerate himself in the darkness. Because he has seen the light, he cannot tolerate his current situation.
Compared to this, no matter how much we enjoyed in ancient times, what’s the point if we can’t enjoy things in later generations.
He Xi sighed heavily and said, "Hey, why don't I go back, but where should I go?"
Just as He Xi sighed, he also heard a sigh from behind. Both of them were startled, and a female voice behind them said from the bamboo forest: "Who, who is there?"
The tone was full of panic.
He Xi immediately stood up and said: "My secretary, Mr. Lang He Xi, came here for a walk. I apologize for disturbing the girl. I apologize."
The two are not far apart, but there is a dense bamboo forest between them. There is a winding path in this small bamboo forest. The winding path leads to a quiet place, seemingly just one step away. If you want to walk there, you have to go around a lot. a circle.
The woman opposite heard He Xi's introduction and said, "Are you He Xi?" The panic in her tone weakened a lot.
He Xi said: "This is not an ordinary place. Everyone who comes here has a name and cannot be faked."
The woman said: "Why did you leave the meeting? This is a good opportunity to make friends with meritorious disciples."
He Xi said: "I met a naughty kid."
The woman said: "Naughty boy."
He Xi thought that the woman in front of him was just a palace maid. Moreover, with so many eyes and mouths, he didn't think he could hide what happened at the banquet. So he explained the matter in a few words.
After hearing this, the woman whispered a few words, but He Xi didn't hear it clearly. She vaguely seemed to be talking about this child. He Xi said, "Miss, what did you say?"
The woman said: "I think His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, is indeed inappropriate."
He Xi said: "This matter is so boring, I won't talk about it. Why are you here, girl? Everyone in Qianqing Palace is very busy at this time, and you are lazy here. Will the eunuch in charge not blame you?"
The woman was slightly startled and said: "No, I am not at the banquet. Now the really busy ones are the cooks and the waiters at the banquet. But I am not busy anymore."
He Xi didn't hear the flaw. He didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang practiced frugality. There were no more than 3,000 maids and eunuchs in Zhu Yuanzhang's palace. It seemed like a lot. But if you know the area of Nanjing girls, plus some that are needed for other occasions.
Eunuchs and maids know that this number is actually not many.
Compared to the number of eunuchs known as over 100,000 in the palaces of later generations, it was simply too few.
Under the management of Queen Ma, there were very few people in the palace. No one dared to be lazy at all. Even if they were lazy, they would not dare to come to the garden. Once they collided with the nobleman, it would be terrible.
The woman was also afraid that He Xi would ask more questions, so she said, "Secretary He just sighed, 'It's better to go back.' But I'm homesick."
He Xi sighed and said, "That's right, I miss home. I'm on a strange journey, and I'm encountering a puzzle. It's just that things have come to this, I want to go home, but I don't know how to get home."
The woman knew He Xi's life experience, but she never thought that her father would lie to others. She only thought that He Xi was a close disciple of Zen Master Dazhi. Now Zen Master Dazhi is gone. The so-called family is gone. She suffered another hardship in the palace.
He was bullied by his imperial brother. He suddenly felt pity and said: "Secretary He, life in this world is 90% unsatisfactory. Sometimes you have to look away."
He Xi said: "I just heard you sighing too, what are you sighing for?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then she pondered for a moment and said: "The Queen has the grace to let you out when you reach the age in the palace. I have reached the age, but I don't want to leave the palace."
He Xi was stunned and said: "In the palace, I am just a slave. Outside, I can behave uprightly, so why don't I want to go out?"
The woman said: "The Queen is very kind, and everyone in the palace treats me well. I am familiar with it. But a palace maid like me will definitely get married if she is released and has no one to rely on."
"Once a woman marries, life and death are no longer hers. I'm afraid."
He Xi said: "I understand."
"Understand?" There was some doubt in the woman's tone.
He Xi said: "Phobia before marriage."
The woman asked cautiously: "What is premarital phobia?"
He Xi was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. He skipped the topic and said, "If you really don't want to leave the palace, I have a way."
The woman said: "Secretary He, please speak."
He Xi said: "Eunuch Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng, always said that I have no one to serve here. Let me choose a palace maid. I always thought it was troublesome and didn't choose. If you want, you can come to me. If you want to come to the palace, I won't rush you out.
palace."
The woman's voice suddenly became much lower, and she seemed to be ashamed as she said, "How can anyone talk like this?"
He Xi felt for a moment that he had said the wrong thing.
The service that Eunuch Xu mentioned was not just as simple as laundry and cleaning. He Xi quickly said, "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean that. I just want to help you. If you don't want to, forget it."
After a while, the woman said, "Why do you want to help me?"
He Xi was silent for a while and said: "There is no reason? If there is, they are probably the same people who have fallen from the world." This chapter has been completed!
