Concubine Zhen saw that her sister knelt down, and quickly knelt down and said: "It must be that the slave is talking too much, the slave should die, please don't worry about it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Emperor Guangxu helped them up one by one and said, "It's because I'm thinking too much, it's none of your business." Then he stroked the young concubine and said, "Don't look at your youngest, but only you understand my heart best." ”

The two sisters looked at each other, "Your Majesty, please sit down!" "Concubine Zhen asked for an an.

Above is a kang bed, suitable for lying down but not for sitting, sitting on both sides of the air, it is better to lean on the chair comfortably, the emperor immediately smiled: "It's good here." You pour a bowl of tea for me to drink! ”

The emperor brought a special tea set there, and he was afraid that someone would poison him, so he sent someone to serve him, and over time, a regulation was formed, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all unclear. Therefore, some palace maids were waiting to be told to "enter the tea", but they were stopped by the emperor.

"Don't call them!" The emperor said to the palace maid, "Pour a bowl of tea that your master has drunk!" ”

"The concubine drinks chrysanthemum tea." Concubine Zhen replied, "I'm afraid that the emperor won't be used to drinking." ”

"Chrysanthemum tea is very good."

So Concubine Zhen personally went to make a bowl of chrysanthemum tea and held it in front of the emperor. The boiling water was freshly brewed, and the tea was still very hot, but the thirsty emperor couldn't bear it.

"It's too hot! Is it a little cooler? ”

"I don't dare to give it to the emperor if it's cold. Or ......," Concubine Zhen put her fingers on her temples, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, a little honey!" ”

The voice is crisp, there is really a sense of the sound of a warbler, coupled with her delicate expression, the emperor has not drunk honey, but it is already sweet to the heart.

But Concubine Zhen didn't wait for him to do anything, she had already twisted her waist and brought a small blue and white porcelain jar, which was a lightened ****.

At this time, Concubine Jin also helped to force out the tea juice in the bowl, and on the top one-third of the ****, Concubine Zhen took it, wiped the tea stains on the edge of the cup with a handkerchief, and held it with both hands.

"It's very fragrant!" The emperor took a sip, another sip, one after another, and quickly drank half of it, "You said to them later, and in the future, I will serve chrysanthemum tea like this." ”

"Yes!" Sister Jinzhen agreed in unison.

"Last year, I had an uncomfortable throat, and I also drank chrysanthemum tea, and I felt that it was not as good as this."

"This chrysanthemum is from Hangzhou."

"Oh," thought the Emperor, "it must have been brought to your father." Is it? ”

"Yes." Zhen Concubine Qi Ran.

"It is said that when Changshan was in Guangzhou, he was elegant and hospitable, and he was very talented, and he was there. Who are they? ”

"There is a slave teacher Wen Tingshi, and he has the greatest talent."

"Your teacher?" The emperor felt very novel, and turned his face to ask Concubine Jin, "Is it also your teacher?" ”

"Yes."

The emperor looked at the two sisters, the fifteen-year-old concubine, who already looked like an adult, and the thirteen-year-old concubine, who was more or less childish, didn't seem to have ink in her stomach, so he asked again: "How many years has the surname Wen taught you?" ”

"It's just over a year." Concubine Jin was afraid of the emperor's questioning, so she hurriedly declared, "Sister concubine, but I know a few words with Mr. Wen, and I dare not say that I am reading." ”

The emperor didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he got up and left, and Yikun Palace went up and down, kneeling to send Ruyi.

When she returned to the palace, Concubine Jin pulled Concubine Zhen aside and complained quietly.

"From the very beginning, I won't let you talk nonsense. Look at this time, it almost made a big mess. ”

Concubine Zhen also regretted that she spoke too rashly, but she has always been competitive and refuses to admit her mistakes: "Do you see that the emperor is very kind and compassionate!" ”

Concubine Jin thought that nothing was wrong, which was good, but she was still not at ease, and reminded her sister: "You still have to pay attention to what you say in the future." ”

But it was said that Jin Sheng listened to the queen's orders, so he quietly followed the emperor to see where he went. Later, when I saw that the emperor arrived at Yikun Palace, he didn't come out for a long time, so he went back to report to the queen.

"Sure enough, it got there." The queen shouted when she heard Jin Sheng's words, "These two fox dogs, I will clean them up sooner or later." And this emperor, it's too much of a bully. Okay, let's ride a donkey and read the record book - we'll see! ”

The night passed and it was the last day of the Empress Dowager Cixi's curtain to listen to the government, and it was also the day when the Empress met the Empress Dowager for the first time, and this day was also the day when the Emperor personally sacrificed to Sheji. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy in several places, and of course the most important thing was to take care of the ceremonies of Cining Palace.

When the empress court met the Empress Dowager, Qin Tianjian chose Chenzheng, which was also the moment when the Empress Dowager Cixi summoned the military plane. In order not to miss the auspicious time, he had to meet with the military plane early, and in order to save time, he made an exception and summoned him at Cining Palace.

From the third day of February, there is a series of celebrations. The first is to be congratulated by the pro-government, and the second day is to be congratulated by the big wedding. It was the emperor who first led the princes and hundreds of officials to salute the queen mother outside the Cining Palace, and then received congratulations in the Taihe Palace.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi was ready, she held an official "pro-government" ceremony for Emperor Guangxu in the Taihe Hall on the third day of February.

At three o'clock, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Emperor Guangxu: "As soon as noon arrives, the pro-government ceremony will begin, and then you will have to deal with some political affairs by yourself." Do you have anything else to say? ”

"After his father lived in the Summer Palace, Erchen went to greet his father every day!"

"It's hard for your filial piety, with your words, the mourning family is much more relieved."

"Erchen handles political affairs independently, but I'm afraid that some things will not be handled well." Emperor Guangxu said with sincere fear.

"You can handle the small things yourself, and if there are big things that you can't get accurate, you can go to the Summer Palace, and it's okay to let the mourning family give you an idea."

"Yes! In case of major events, the sons naturally have to deal with it. I'm afraid that sometimes my son will have to make up his mind immediately, and he will be a little out of proportion. ”

"This is also true, the mourning family has also encountered such a situation." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "At this time, as long as you are a little hard-hearted. Otherwise, even if it is a close relative, there will be opinions. ”

"Hard-hearted?"

"By the way, be hard-hearted. State affairs are state affairs, and family affairs are family affairs; The monarch is a king, and the uncle and nephew are the uncle and nephew. Don't mix it all up, you'll be able to do things in a measured way. ”

When the emperor heard these words, he had a thrilling feeling.

Is it any wonder that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they are upright or talented, are so afraid and docile of the Empress Dowager Cixi? And what the Empress Dowager Cixi said and did was also extremely clever, but how could it not hurt her prestige?

Probably because he can be hard-hearted, he should use his power at a critical juncture, and he is not involved in emotion, especially for related figures, and he is even more ruthless, just like deposing Prince Gong twice. That's it. (To be continued.) )
