Chapter 32 Concubine Yi bestows her name

Li Lianying is actually not his real name, he was called Li Yingtai before entering the palace.He is the second eldest in the family, and there are elder brother Li Guotai, third younger Li Baotai, fourth younger Li Shengtai, fifth younger Li Shitai, and sixth younger Li Antai. In 1861, after the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government behind the curtain, she was very satisfied with Li Lianying's performance in it, so she decided to change his name and set up a name.One day in the summer of the second year, Li Lianying and several young eunuchs waited on the Empress Dowager Cixi to cool off in the courtyard.I happened to see two vats of lotus blooming, and the fragrance was overflowing.When the Empress Dowager Cixi was happy, she called Li Lianying to her, changed his name to Li Lianying, and said that Li Lianying was the petal of the lotus, which meant auspiciousness.

Li Lianying was very happy to see the Empress Dowager Cixi personally naming herself, and knelt down to thank her.From then on, Li Yingtai officially changed his name to Li Lianying. Not only that, the Empress Dowager Cixi took advantage of her pleasure to give him a nickname and nickname, Le Yuan and Ling Jie respectively.The Empress Dowager Cixi, who was dedicated to the Buddha, deliberately asked him the meaning of the words and numbers.Although Li Lianying was clever, she didn't read a lot, so she had to ask Cixi for advice. Firstly, Li Lianying was Cixi's confidant eunuch, and secondly, since everything went smoothly since she was in charge of the government, Cixi showed off her knowledge and patiently told him that a man of ancient etiquette won the crown at the age of 20, and at this time he could take the name and establish a name. .Li Lianying's character, Leyuan, means to do good deeds, and when combined, it means being kind and charitable.And Lingjie means outstanding people in the palace.In the "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng" written by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty, there are: Wuhua Tianbao, Longguang shooting the bullfighting market.With outstanding talents, Xu Ru went to Chen Fan's couch.Therefore, Li Lianying's name and name all mean good and good.

It is a great honor for Li Lianying to be named by the Empress Dowager Cixi herself, and it also shows his status in the hearts of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In fact, Li Lianying also had many nicknames in the palace before, and the playful Li was also related to the Empress Dowager Cixi.It turned out that Li Lianying was less than ten years old when she entered the palace, which was the age for playing tricks.Although there are many rules in the palace, it is inevitable that in spare time, when the master and superior are away, they will wink and make a fool of themselves.Besides, Li Lianying was the most active among these eunuchs, and everyone secretly called him Naughty Li.Although this nickname is harmless, it does not sound very elegant after all, and Li Lianying is very upset.But once the nickname is called, it will not stop by itself, so it spreads farther and farther.Li Lianying became more and more angry, always looking for opportunities to refute.

One day, he was arguing with a large group of young eunuchs again, and he couldn't help but raise his voice. He accidentally heard Yiguifei (Cixi) who was resting in the room, and immediately went to the gate of the hall to scold them.All the eunuchs knelt on the ground in fright, only Li Lianying was familiar with Concubine Yi because she often combed Concubine Yi's hair, so she bravely told the truth. Coincidentally, Concubine Yi was promoted to noble concubine by Emperor Xianfeng because she gave birth to a prince, and she was in a good mood.Therefore, not only not to be angry with them, but also to say that Piqiao Li is very good and appears clever.Concubine Yi was sealed personally, and Li Lianying couldn't help it. His naughty Li was spread throughout the palace.

Later, Li Lianying's power spread to the sky, and he was very popular, and he must take advantage of it.Therefore, people changed the word "Qiao" into the word "Ni Ni", which became "Pi Ni Li".The meaning is also quite different from the original meaning: no matter what kind of skin (temper), as long as you meet Li Lianying, you have to be obedient and squeeze all the oil from your body, otherwise you can't get things done.This contains the meaning of anger towards Li Lianying.
