What Emperor Kangxi meant was that before the prince's wedding ceremony, the exterior parts of the palaces extending from the central axis to both sides, including the six east and west palaces, were newly painted and decorated. The entire palace was decorated with lights and colorful lights to celebrate the wedding of his daughter-in-law. .
Of course, the six yamen in the imperial city and every important guard area in the capital must be laid first.
After hearing this, Yinreng naturally had no reason to object. The electric light and telephone were finally no longer just under research, but had actually entered people's daily lives, bringing convenience to people's night life. He could only be happy.
Because in the current cities of the Qing Dynasty, especially the capital, in order to prevent fires, lanterns are basically not allowed to be lit at night. In order to save the cost of lamp oil and candles, ordinary people usually go to bed as soon as it gets dark.
Except for Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace, which can keep the lights on until nine o'clock or even later every night, the masters of each palace turn off their lights around eight o'clock and rest. Some ministers occasionally came to the palace at night because of urgent matters, and Emperor Kangxi only rewarded them with a ram's horn lantern to guide them.
Of course, whether it is the nine candles of the green-glazed peacock multi-branch lamp in the Qianqing Palace burning together, or the five candles of the four-corner lamp in the Yuqing Palace combined with the reflection of the mirrors on the four walls, the lighting effect is actually very unsatisfactory. This is why Yinreng has been worried that he will become myopic in the future.
Once it gets dark, except for some special places or emergencies, no large-scale lighting is allowed in the inner cities of various cities. This is especially not allowed in some narrow alleys because they are small. There are many people in the alley and rescue is not easy.
Every day at three o'clock in the morning, that is, at 8:15 in the evening, the dusk drums start to be beaten upstairs, and all city gates are closed, prohibiting everyone from entering and exiting; at three o'clock in the fifth watch, that is, the morning bell is rung on time at 4:15 in the morning. Open the city gates and allow passage.
During the entire second, third, and fourth watch, unless there are special circumstances such as illness, childbirth, or death that allow movement, other people who dare to walk and wander on the streets of the inner city without any incident will be caught by patrolling soldiers without explanation. First, give him forty lashes.
Of course, the safety of the capital is more important, and the punishment is even more serious, just fifty lashes first. Those who break the night ban after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch will be beaten thirty times, and naturally it is forty times in the capital.
But in the history of ancient China, there was a time when the capital of a country did not close its city gates day and night, and that was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to implement a curfew in the capital city of Chang'an, which seemed to lock up the open and unrestrained style of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a proverb among the people, "When the city gate is open, the road of speech is open; when the city gate is closed, the road of speech is closed." It does have its truth.
With an idea in mind, Yinreng first made some suggestions to Emperor Kangxi's plan for pulling the strings, "Emperor Ama, Jingren Palace is not far from the Palace of Qianqing. When the first batch of strings are pulled, Jingren can be The palace is also included. I heard from my fourth brother that the imperial concubine is sometimes late to handle palace affairs until lights out."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned. It was not because he was afraid that others would think too much. He did not think of Jingren Palace among the first batch of people who pulled the string. Since the kind and generous son has brought it up now, there is no harm in agreeing, "Okay, just because of your intentions, Huang Ama counts Jingren Palace among the first batch."
"Thank you, Emperor Ama. Regarding electric lights and telephones, I still have an idea in my mind. Please tell me, Emperor Ama, for details."
Emperor Kangxi habitually raised his alarm, raised his eyebrows, and calmly agreed: "Go ahead, I won't kick you anyway."
This time, it was Yinreng's turn to be stunned and hesitant. His wife, Huang Ama, was in a bad mood today, but she must not irritate him any more.
The young prince thought carefully in his mind, carefully organized his words, and then said slowly: "After electric lights and telephones are installed in the palace and the six yamen, the next step is probably the imperial city and the four outer cities. All the important ministers and princes are at their homes."
"When electric lights and telephones are installed throughout the Forty-Nine Cities, the night will become the same as the day. At that time, the night life of people in the capital will probably become more colorful and lively than during the day. After all, at night People don't need to show up to work as they would during the day."
"In other words, the emergence and popularization of electric lights and telephones will definitely have a great impact on the current curfew and access control systems in various places in the Qing Dynasty."
Emperor Kangxi frowned. He and his ministers had indeed not considered the situation mentioned by his son.
After thinking intently for a moment, Emperor Kangxi finally made a decision, "The curfew matterThe rule of the Qing Palace is that if the emperor favors a concubine and refuses to keep it, a young eunuch will massage the acupuncture points on the queen's buttocks to let all the dragon essence left by the emperor flow out, so as to achieve the goal of not keeping it. The purpose of making concubines pregnant.
No matter how the method looks and sounds, in the years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, only a handful of concubines have gotten pregnant unexpectedly due to unsuccessful contraception.
After venting to his heart¡¯s content, Emperor Kangxi, with a satisfied face, decisively said the word ¡°stay¡±.
When the chief steward heard the emperor's decision, although his heart was filled with huge waves, he did not dare to show it in his body movements.
After gently resigning, he immediately and conscientiously wrote a paragraph in the record book of the ablution room, "At 0:00 on June 7, 1684, the emperor was honored to announce his concubine, and she stayed there for a while to prepare for the announcement. The concubine¡¯s pregnancy is hereby recorded.¡±
Early the next morning, the morning bell rang, and the imperial concubine of Jingren Palace woke up on time and got up to freshen up.
The palace maids and nuns stepped forward one after another and gently applied make-up to their imperial concubines.
Wear her hair in a dignified and elegant little bun; put on elegant and small flower brocades; wear three pairs of Dongzhu earrings; put on four slits on the front, back, left and right, embroidered with golden phoenix patterns, a gorgeous but light and refreshing open skirt ; Finally, fasten the colorful ribbon embroidered with a good harvest on the buttons, and put on the exquisite and noble finger cots.
The imperial concubine, who had a good sleep, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, looking bright and energetic, and felt happy in her heart. The personal maid saw that her mother-in-law was in a particularly comfortable mood and said pleasantly, "My wife is in great spirits today."
The imperial concubine smiled reservedly and said nothing. Ever since Liang Jiugong came to deliver the emperor's oral instructions in person last night and severely disgraced Concubine Yi, who was becoming more and more popular, she was in an extremely good mood. If you are in a good mood and sleep well, you will naturally be in good spirits.
The nun in charge of external affairs came in to reply, and the palace maids all left automatically. The old nanny lowered her eyebrows and bowed obediently, then said softly: "Your Majesty, last night the emperor invited Concubine Xuan to sleep with her."

Hehe, I feel so shy writing this chapter. I am really afraid of the harmony of Dajinjiang. Roar.
This is a more practical sleeper, dear friends, hehe. Except for the queen and the imperial concubine, the emperor will not stay overnight in the palace of any concubine. Roar. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
