Chen Yuanyuan step by step, she went up the white marble steps, but saw the carved fence and jade, and the palace was magnificent, which was shocking.She suddenly thought that the lyrics in the play were either the heavenly immortal mansion or the emperor's house on earth.This can't really be the Forbidden City, right?
The Forbidden City, that is where the emperor lives, and the emperor is the most noble man in the world, at the top of all beings.One thought of the word emperor.Chen Yuanyuan only felt that his heartbeat was beating like a drum, his whole body was numb and crispy, and his legs were even more soft, and he could barely take a step.She swallowed her saliva, her nervous hands trembled, and Chen Yuanyuan secretly wondered: That big official wouldn't want to sacrifice her to His Majesty the Emperor, right?
Will she have to sleep with His Majesty the Emperor?
How do you sleep?
She doesn't understand it at all, if she annoys His Majesty the Emperor at that time, it will be thunder and thunder!
Chen Yuanyuan thought wildly, and unconsciously entered the palace, and an elegant fragrance hit him, which smelled very good.I saw that there were four square tripods standing on both sides of the main hall.The dings are full of apples and pears, as well as chayote, and the aroma of these fruits is emanated.Chen Yuanyuan has been poor since he was a child, and people who have been hungry will have a special obsession and affection for food.Therefore, as soon as Chen Yuanyuan entered the palace gate, the first thing he saw was not gold and silver jewelry, nor all kinds of precious treasures and antiques, calligraphy and paintings.It's fruit!
Chen Yuanyuan sighed: It's really like what is sung in the play, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.How can so many fruits be used to smoke the house here?
And when she Chen Yuanyuan was a child, she didn't even eat pears!
Then Chen Yuanyuan Lian moved lightly, slowly stepping into the depths of the layers of curtains, only to see a couch in the innermost, on which a woman leaned on it.The woman is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes are like the person in the painting, light as a cloud, but noble and extraordinary, even women can be fascinated.The woman's green hair was extremely shiny.She lazily rolled up a peach bun, and there were no luxurious jewelry on the bun, only an unopened peony flower was inserted diagonally.Chen Yuanyuan has been shining in the bronze mirror every day since her appearance has grown, but she has never found a more beautiful woman than herself.When she saw this beauty on the couch today, she knew that there was really a peerless beauty in the world!
And the little eunuch who led Chen Yuanyuan into the palace bowed forward and said respectfully, "Niangniang, someone brought it, how about you take a look?"
”The beauty on the couch slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Yuanyuan with silky eyes, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was looking directly, blushed and heartbeat, and lowered her head shyly.The woman's languid voice came, her voice rustling and full of charm, "What's your name?"
”Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly replied, "My name is Chen Yuanyuan." ”"Presumptuous!"
The little eunuch who had just brought Chen Yuanyuan in angrily reprimanded, "This is Your Majesty's holy family, Tian Guifei Niangniang, how can you call yourself a folk girl?"
”Tian Guifei?
Chen Yuanyuan's Liyuan peers once played the drunken concubine, Chen Yuanyuan likes to watch this scene very much, and she has also studied it!
Chen Yuanyuan was particularly envious of the concubines who could accompany the king in ancient times, and even the concubines in the play could make her envious.So when Chen Yuanyuan heard Tian Guifei's name, she didn't actually react.It wasn't until a moment later that she realized that she was not in the opera garden now, and the concubine in front of her was a living concubine, a woman of His Majesty the Emperor!
Chen Yuanyuan's round legs knelt down as soon as she was weak, she didn't know how to speak when she saw the concubine, so she had to learn to act in the play, and talk a few words of crepe nonsense.This performance made Tian Guifei almost amused.Tian Guifei sat up straight and said with a smile, "Chen Yuanyuan, come here, let the palace take a good look at your appearance." ”Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally obediently walked to Tian Guifei's side, lowered his head, and let Tian Guifei look at him.Tian Guifei saw her feet from her head, but she saw that although Chen Yuanyuan was immature, there was nothing unbeautiful, even her nails were shiny.The most rare thing is that this Chen Yuanyuan does not have small feet, and a pair of heavenly feet are very cute.In this era, although many female dolls from extremely poor families do not have small feet, such extremely poor families generally cannot raise good-looking girls.Chen Yuanyuan is a special case, she is not only beautiful, but also has beautiful feet.Tian Guifei knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not much different from ordinary people, His Majesty didn't like women with small feet, and even Tian Guifei's little feet were laughed at by His Majesty!
Tian Guifei was very satisfied with Chen Yuanyuan, and after she explained a few words, she asked people to take this woman down so that she could give birth.Then I found an old aunt and taught this woman to learn court etiquette every day, and taught this woman to cultivate manners in all directions, and when the time was ripe, she would dedicate it to His Majesty.At this time, Chongzhen didn't know Tian Guifei's careful thoughts, he was worried about locusts recently!
According to his shallow historical knowledge, there was indeed a locust plague in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but he remembered that this locust plague occurred in the late Chongzhen period?
Why is there a plague of locusts now?
Is this because of the butterfly effect, or is his knowledge of history too shallow, or is it just that history is not recorded?
Chongzhen didn't know why.In fact, no matter what the reason is, the locust plague has to be cured, and this thing is terrible, because after a locust plague, there must be a great famine.It is recorded that locusts gnaw away the seedlings.This year, the peasants did not have a harvest.When people don't have anything to eat, they will eat even the bark of grass roots, and after the bark of grass roots and trees is eaten, there will be the phenomenon of people eating people.At that time, women and children were tied up and dragged to the market to be slaughtered and sold for meat.Modern people seem to think that locust plagues are not terrible, because locusts are proteins, and they are edible things!
The ancients were stupid.Why don't you catch thousands of catties of locusts during the locust plague, and then cook them as food?
This thing is much more nutritious than food.From the point of view of modern people, the locust plague is not a plague, but a gift of food from heaven!
It's just that the ancient people were not only stupid, but also superstitious, and they thought that if they ate locusts, they would offend the locust god and blaspheme the gods.Therefore, the ancient people would rather starve to death than eat locusts to satisfy their hunger.Chongzhen just wants to say that modern people are too self-righteous, people are dying of hunger, and even swallowing the soil, how can they not dare to eat locusts because they are afraid of the ethereal gods?
In fact, ancient people also ate locusts.In history, there is a record of Tang Taizong personally catching locusts and eating them raw.In addition to kings, hungry people also ate locusts.During the reign of Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, the east was from the sea, the west was as far as the river, the locusts covered the sky, the grass and trees were not left, the fields were eaten, the people were hungry, and the locusts were hunted for food.
