A tranquility and quietness, dignity and integrity are the virtues of a woman.Filial piety, kindness, gentleness, and virtue.Virtue is derived from what one is derived and transformed from habits, and it does not come from outside, but is actually from the body.
In ancient times, chaste women had rational temperament, mental skills, and morality, so they were able to match gentlemen to achieve their teachings.Therefore, benevolence is used to live, righteousness is used to practice, wisdom is used to candle it, faith is used to keep it, and etiquette is used to embody it.Do not follow the etiquette, and do not follow the righteousness.Movement must be done by the way, and words must be done by faith.If it is not spoken, then the wise steps will be achieved; if it is not polite, then the evil and eccentric form will be achieved.The threshold is to limit words, jade is to move with the rhythm, etiquette is to control the heart, and Tao is to control desires, so as to cultivate its virtue...
In the main hall of Kunning Palace, Yao Ji was watching everyone, and fluently recited the first article of Empress Renxiao Xu's "Inner Training" with a soothing and pleasant voice.
Her expression, posture and movements were very beautiful, but they were different from the teachings she recited.
The contents he recited must not be moved by politeness, otherwise his body would not be dignified; however, Yao Ji's body was not very dignified at this time, and she had a kind of soft behavior.
It’s really easy to memorize the article, but it’s hard to match the heart.
In the past, Yao Ji learned to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dress and dress to maintain her hair, learn how to please men, and how to avoid people's eyes and ears to convey messages, etc., but she didn't learn this kind of thing that must be abide by the rules in everything, otherwise she would not be worthy of a gentleman.
Now that she is in her twenties, it is really not easy to accept new teachings at once.
She memorized it very well, but she felt that the requirements in the article were a bit unreasonable. But it doesn’t matter if you recite it once on your mouth...
When Shufei Du Qianrui was on her back, she was also very skilled.For a woman like Du Qianrui who was trained in the Jiaofangsi very early, the full text of the "Inner Training" Virtue Chapter is more than 300 words, which is really simple to memorize.
However, Yao Ji always felt that Du Qianrui was a little innocent when she looked at Du Qianrui's expression.
Obviously, Concubine Shu also felt that it was very different from what she had learned before, but she was more obedient, confused on the one hand, and dared not refute at the other hand, so she looked quite innocent.
Yao Ji looked back at the concubines around him and felt that the only concubine, the concubine Miaojin, might be the only one who agrees with this kind of thing the most.After all, Miaojin is a genuine scholarly family, and her father is a Jinshi.
The concubines and female officials recited them in public according to their status, and most of them could recite them all.There are also female officials who can say that she is illiterate and can only listen to others' readings. They also force themselves to remember a few sentences.
Queen Guo Wei said: It is understandable that you are illiterate and have sincerity to remember forcibly. This palace will give you a lighter punishment and deduct three days of money this month.
The female official hurriedly thanked her.
The sun rose very high, and everyone finished reciting it one after another.Yao Ji listened to it dozens of times, and the content of the article became more meticulous.
The eunuch from the Silijian stepped forward and said, "The Empress has a virtue in the harem, and her mother is in charge of the world."The Minister of Rites Hu Yi wrote a letter to praise him, and all the ministers in the court respected him.The ladies of the imperial edicts jointly wrote a letter to ask the imperial decree to go to the Dashan Hall to receive the guidance of the Empress.
Guo Wei turned her head and looked at Yao Ji, and Yao Ji nodded slightly.
This palace will choose a good day and summon all the ladies of the imperial decree.Guo Wei said.
The eunuch said: I will receive the order.
Guo Wei asked again: Why didn’t the imperial concubine (Mu Zhen) come?
The eunuch of the inner palace prison, Huang Gou, took two steps forward, held the whisk and said: Go back to the Empress, the Imperial Concubine Palace sent someone to report that the Imperial Concubine was not feeling well today.The imperial doctor had been summoned to take the pulse and he was happy with the pulse for one month. The imperial concubine boiled medicine in the palace to recuperate and sent someone to take leave.
Suddenly, many buzzing sounds sounded in Kunning Palace.Yao Ji was also surprised when she heard the news.
I see.After saying that, Guo Wei stood up from the throne.
The women in the harem successively held their favors and thanked them.
When Yao Ji left Kunning Palace, she looked at the woman present again and did not see Ma Enhui.
Yao Ji had heard the news before, and the emperor took Ma Enhui away from the palace; now it seems that the news should be true.
Ma Enhui is no longer in the palace, so of course she doesn’t have to recite the “Inner Training” again today.
Yao Ji thought of what happened recently, sighed secretly and walked out of the palace gate of Kunning Palace.
The imperial concubine Miaojin walked in front, gently covering her forehead with her hand, looked up at the sun at the height, and paused slightly under her feet.
Yao Ji quickly walked to Miao Jin, smiled at Miao Jin, and said slightly: I have seen the Imperial Concubine.
In everyone's impression, Miaojin is a relatively noble person and doesn't care much about others.
However, Miao Jin was quite kind to Yao Ji at this time. She returned the courtesy and greeted her: Concubine Xian carries the best today.
Maybe because of the relationship between Yao Ji and the queen, everyone saw it, and no one was willing to offend Yao Ji easily.Miao Jin seems to be no exception. She has never taken the initiative to win over Yao Ji, but she is also very polite.
Yao Ji followed Miaojin's topic and said quietly in a casual tone: I have memorized "Inner Training", but I still know the reason, but I don't know why. I hope the imperial concubine can solve her doubts when she has free time.
Miaojin said calmly: Those rules from the inside to the outside are set by women, and there is no need to ask anything, just follow them. There is no such reason, so how can we get it from it?
Miao Jin actually dared to say this about Empress Renxiao Xu's article. Yao Ji was slightly stunned and suddenly felt that the two of them were vaguely close.
After saying a few words, Concubine Shu Du Qianrui also came over and the three of them walked together.
Yao Ji asked in a chatty tone: A few days ago, the emperor sent Ma off the palace. Can you tell me?
Before Du Qianrui could answer, Miao Jin was surprised: Is there anything wrong?
Du Qianrui seemed a little hesitant and didn't respond after a while.
Yao Ji didn't ask any more, knowing that Du Qianrui might be a little embarrassed... The emperor should have said hello to her, but she was embarrassed to lie to Yao Ji obviously, so she suddenly said something.
The emperor believed in the wrong sister.Yao Ji said softly.
At this moment, a voice behind him said: Concubine Xian, please stay.
The three of them turned their heads one after another and saw that the eunuch eunuch who had just arrived was the eunuch of the inner palace.
The yellow dog caught up and bent down with his fists and said, "The Empress also wants to talk to the Xian Concubine. Please sit in the side hall of Kunning Palace."
So Yao Ji said goodbye to Miaojin and Du Qianrui and went back alone with the yellow dog.
The yellow dog suddenly nodded and said, "Empress Xianfei, your little yellow cat, Yonglechu, was ordered to throw it away... I really didn't kill it, and I even fed it a meal when I drove it away.
Yao Ji suddenly said: Do you still remember what happened so long ago?
Huang Gou hurriedly said: I have never let go of my heart. I often think of the thing that the virtuous concubine likes, but I actually lost it. I deserve to die!I am really wrong.You said why was I so stupid at that time?
Yao Ji Yan's beautiful face was filled with a smile, and she listened patiently to the yellow dog. When he finished speaking, Yao Ji said: But it's just a cat. If you don't mention it, I've long forgotten.
The yellow dog asked carefully: You have a lot of noble people, are you forgiven?
Yao Ji sighed softly: There are so many things that I thought were very important when it happened; but after a while, how many important things have I experienced in my life?Besides, I felt that that matter was not very important at the time, and it has been ten years since then.
The yellow dog nodded and said: The concubine of the Virtue is so beautiful and wise, all of which are true.No wonder the Queen wants to ask you if she has anything to do.
Yao Ji said: That's not because I have reason, but because I am determined... Don't worry, I will say good things for you in front of the queen.
Ah?!The yellow dog felt grateful on his face and almost cried. Wu Zhong was indeed my godfather before, but I had already done my best to plead for him to survive.Later, I never contacted Wu Zhong, and I really knew nothing about him!
Yao Ji asked softly: Who said you know?
Huang Gou said: No one said that it was my own thought.The matter in Zhongdu is too big, I am afraid that I will be wronged.
Yao Ji slowly walked towards the side hall and thought for a while.
This eunuch Huang Gou is afraid of being implicated. The queen now doesn't even dare to protect her sister, and may not protect him, and will even push him out to avoid affecting the trust of the emperor!
Yao Ji whispered: You have served the queen for so long, but you still don’t know that the queen is a person who values kindness?The queen has been at ease with you for many years.I'll say a few more words for you, don't worry too much.
Huang Gou said: "My Concubine Xie is very kind."
Yao Ji smiled again: You, don’t always think of people so badly.Am I the kind of person who will retaliate against the slightest?I was angry at that time, but it had nothing to do with you.
I don’t dare, I don’t dare!The yellow dog hurriedly bent down.
The two of them arrived at the gate of the side hall, and the yellow dog was guarding outside, and Yao Ji walked in.Seeing that the slaves around Queen Guo Wei were not here, Yao Ji walked up and bowed.
My sister came to sit next to me.Guo Wei said kindly, with a very friendly tone.
After a while, Guo Wei sighed quietly and said: Duke Qian has made great contributions to the emperor, but now he is in a high position.The Imperial Concubine is the eldest daughter of Duke Qian. She is so beautiful and pregnant. I... am a little afraid that I can't compare to her.
Yao Ji said: The ministers wrote letters to praise the queen, but no one praised the imperial concubine.Whether it can be compared, everyone's eyes are lit.
Guo Wei said gratefully: Thanks to my sister.
Yao Ji didn't comment. In fact, even if there was no ritual harem, the ministers would still praise him, just find another excuse.
Guo Wei said: But my sister's business...
Yao Ji immediately understood the relationship and thought to herself: The queen is usually a person who is not very caring, very simple and easy to talk to, but she actually has her own way of dealing with the world.
Yao Ji asked softly: Are the two female officials and palace maids who have just gone to Mrs. Guo’s yard from the Silijian Sect?
Guo Wei nodded and said: Yes Ah.The Silijian does not care about the female officials, and is afraid it is the emperor's will.
Yao Ji said calmly: The emperor has an idea, and if the queen doesn't force the emperor, there is nothing to worry about.
But she is my sister after all.Guo Wei sighed sadly.
In ancient times, chaste women had rational temperament, mental skills, and morality, so they were able to match gentlemen to achieve their teachings.Therefore, benevolence is used to live, righteousness is used to practice, wisdom is used to candle it, faith is used to keep it, and etiquette is used to embody it.Do not follow the etiquette, and do not follow the righteousness.Movement must be done by the way, and words must be done by faith.If it is not spoken, then the wise steps will be achieved; if it is not polite, then the evil and eccentric form will be achieved.The threshold is to limit words, jade is to move with the rhythm, etiquette is to control the heart, and Tao is to control desires, so as to cultivate its virtue...
