People who are familiar with the palace say that this is a warning to the "Empress Jiashun", and obedience is commendable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But some people say that even if she is obedient, Empress Jiashun will have a hard time in the future.

Straight must be obedient and obedient, and stay up until the Empress Dowager Cixi Bintian, before there is a day to come out.

February of the first year of Guangxu. Although it was almost spring, the fierce northwest wind was still howling. Blowing on people's faces, necks, making people feel painful and itchy, Changchun Palace East Warm Pavilion, but like spring in March.

Since the Tongzhi Emperor was in power, it has been overhauled twice, the doors and windows are tightly closed, blocking the cold brought by the northwest wind, plus four large charcoal basins of red copper, baking all over the room temperature.

The Empress Dowager Cixi, who had just retired from the court, was lying leisurely on the bed at the moment, with one leg in Li Lianying's arms, allowing him to massage herself. From the smiling face on her face, it is not difficult to see that she is in a particularly good mood today.

"Master, is there any happy event today?" Li Lianying, who is good at flattery, wasted no time in asking.

"Guess what."

"The minion thought of something, but I don't know if it's right or not?"

"Now that I've thought of what I'm doing, it's okay."

"The minion thinks it's about hanging the curtain."

This sentence reached the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Yes, at this time she was intoxicated with the joy of the second curtain victory.

Joy comes from power, and she is back a year after she has been away from the throne, back to the place where she calls the shots.

Think about the scene of accepting the minister's three kneeling and nine bowing gifts in the early dynasty, and listening to the blessings of Baiguan Mountain; Thinking about her own battle against the crowd, how could she not be happy?

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly.

Li Lianying, who was waiting for the Queen Mother's praise with a smile on her face, couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said repeatedly: "The slave should die, the slave should die." It's all to blame for the minions' mouths, please punish the minions. ”

Seeing Li Lianying's appearance, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but laugh again, and said while laughing: "Get up, it's none of your business." The mourners just thought of the little fox. As soon as I think of her, I mourn the family's anger. ”

Hearing this, Li Lianying's anxious heart was finally relieved, and she hurriedly comforted: "Master, calm your anger, your body and bones are important, don't be angry for this little thing." ”

That's what he said, but he kept this in his heart, this was a good opportunity to please the Queen Mother, and he couldn't easily miss it.

The northwest wind was still blowing strongly. The queen, who washed her face with tears day and night in Tishun Hall, was not only not enough to be comforted by this title.

There was a deathly silence in the Xiushun Hall to the west of the Heart Cultivation Hall. The wind slammed on the door and squeaked, and the faint candlelight flickered in and out as the wind blew through the cracks in the doors and windows.

In the center of the room was a small brazier, and the flames were dancing up and down weakly, as if they were also conquered by the fierce cold wind, which made people feel a sense of desolation.

The queen was sitting alone at the table, holding her snow-white cat in her arms. In this bleak and lonely night, the cat became her only emotional sustenance.

Looking at the faint candlelight, crystal tears couldn't help but burst out of my eyes:

Isn't my own destiny just like this candlelight, which may be extinguished by the cold wind at any time? Thinking about the scene when she met the Empress Dowager Cixi a few days ago, her heart was full of grief and indignation.

Since I entered the palace, I have been worshipping the queen of heaven and loving the slaves, and there is nothing wrong with me? Why does the Queen Mother always make things difficult for me? Why can't she tolerate me, a weak woman?

"Master!" , a call woke Empress Xiaozhe from her melancholy thoughts. When I looked up, it turned out to be my personal maid Xiaofeng. This Xiaofeng entered Chongqi Mansion when he was six years old and grew up with the queen, although he was not very old, he was empathetic.

"Master, it's not too early. You'd better rest early, your body matters. ”

The queen sighed and said, "I know. But I can't sleep! As soon as I lay down in bed, I had nightmares, and for a while I dreamed of the first emperor. He blamed me for not having an heir for him, so that he had no heir, and it was difficult for him to face his ancestors and fathers; After a while, I dreamed of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and she ......"

The smart Xiaofeng understands the queen's thoughts, and has lived together for so many years, can she not understand?

hurriedly comforted: "Queen, the wood is already in the boat, what's the use of thinking about it again?" What's more, you also did your best, the first emperor will not blame you, the days are still long, it is better to think about what to do in the future? ”

"Later? What do I have to think about? Let's count it as a day! It's not too early, so go back and rest. ”

Xiaofeng agreed and retreated, and the hall fell into deathly silence again, and the queen was still sitting at the table, crying profusely......

The next day, the northwesterly wind, which had been blowing all night, actually stopped. The sun slowly rises over the horizon. The harmonious sunlight shines through the clouds on the red and green glazed tiles, reflecting each other, making it even more colorful.

Early in the morning, Xiaofeng got up and looked at the red sun outside the window, feeling very comfortable. After hurriedly washing up, he went straight to Empress Xiaozhe's bedroom.

"Master, master."

When I walked into the bedroom, I saw that Empress Hyo-cheol had already gotten up. Looking at the red, swollen and swollen eyes like peaches, I couldn't help but feel sad again. Those eyes, how bright and beautiful they used to be, but now they ......

Besides, Li Lianying, after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi that day, returned to her room, and gathered a few close apprentices to discuss how to deal with the queen, which was very lively:

Some people said that we should put some medicine in her diet and let her die in vain; Some shouted that this would not work, in case of a mistake, everyone's heads would have to move, and maybe they would end up with the Nine Clans, so it was better to suggest that the Queen Mother should make a will and let her hang herself.

It can really be said that there are different opinions, but there is no way to satisfy Li Lianying, but he listens to him so much that he is annoyed, only to see him slap the table and shout angrily:

"Stop arguing! I raised you a bunch of waste, and on weekdays, one of you is more capable than the other, and when it is time to use it, none of them are useful. A bunch of rice buckets! ”

Seeing that the master was angry, these little eunuchs were suddenly silent, what should they do?

was so anxious that Li Lianying paced the house behind her hands without stopping. No, absolutely not! Such an opportunity is not something that can be easily encountered, so how can you just give it up? Think again, think again.

"Sanshun, do you have a good idea? If you have it, say it quickly, and don't sit there stupidly. "This kid is usually quite smart, looking at him like that, does he have any good ideas? Who? It turned out to be his little fellow - Li Sanshun.

"Master, there is one idea apprentice, but I don't know if you like it or not?"

When Li Lianying heard this, her heart was full of joy! (To be continued.) )
