Chapter 342: Emperor Tongzhi and His Fa Xiao

Li Guolou came back and told them that there would be more than 200 Jinshi to drink the wedding banquet tomorrow, which made Chen Xiangfang, Xie Xiuzhu, Zhen Yuhuan and others surprised, clapped their hands and high-fived each other.

Chen Xiangfang was worried about the preparation of dishes, so she had to rush to Baozhi's room early in the morning, count the inventory, purchase fresh ingredients, and formulate a menu, she was anxious and stopped talking to Li Guolou, explained a few words to Wei Xiaoliu, and went back to the inner house to sleep, preparing to get up at four o'clock tomorrow, and Xie Xiuzhu had many things to do in order to be beautiful tomorrow, and she also went to sleep with Yelia.

The three expectant mothers left, making the living room a lot deserted, Wu Peipei frowned and said: "Xiaolou, go to take a bath, I am full of alcohol, and I will rush to ** tomorrow, don't look foreign!" ”

"Hey, my eighth grandmother, I'm going to take a bath." Li Guolou circled, as if dancing with Yelia British Hall, and went straight to the bathroom, and several grandmothers behind him sneered.

Wu Peipei shook her head in dissatisfaction and reprimanded: "It's like a child!" ”

Zhen Yuhuan glanced at it and said, "You, you can be a little Lou Niang!" ”

"What did you say?" Wu Peipei was furious, turned around and shouted, "You can do it too, and you are embarrassed to talk about me." "She went to serve Li Guolou to take a bath, such a big man, and she still wanted her to serve, which was strange and hidden, and the grandmother in the house knew about it, so she deliberately made fun of her.

Yingying Yanyan made a fuss, laughing crookedly, praising Zhen Yuhuan for daring to act, the lamp oil in the living room was blown out, several grandmothers climbed the stairs, laughing coquettishly while walking, and no matter how many other grandmothers had already slept, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and on the eve of the wedding, the grandmothers were ready to make trouble with Li Guolou and not give him a chance to rest.

Now Wu Peipei's shaving skills are very good, and she shaved Li Guolou's forehead brightly in three or five strokes, and carefully washed Li Guolou's hair, and said approvingly: "Xiaolou, now your braids are black and long, and you can't see that you have cut them, and you won't be criticized by others, saying that you have forgotten your ancestors!" ”

"Well, I know that Sister Pepe is good and will make you happy." Li Guolou hugged Wu Peipei's waist with both hands, closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his scalp being scratched.

"Well, I'm very satisfied with living here, it's a bit troublesome to go to your hometown next month, your uncle knows me, and many of his officers know me." Wu Peipei only said the practical difficulties at this time, indicating that in her heart, she still wanted to go to Hefei and still hoped that Li Guolou's hometown would marry her.

Li Guolou frowned, was stunned for a moment, wanted to say something and swallowed it back, and said with an idea: "What are you afraid of, you are wearing a veil, saying that you are a Hui person, and you don't see outsiders, I will work hard, although I will not let you be a lady again, but this family, who will help me greatly, I remember in my heart, even if you are fifty or sixty years old, I will be good to you." While speaking, Li Guolou gently rubbed Wu Peipei's melon seed face, a little wrinkle added charm, he is a small love, a big love, greedy and enjoy great love without borders.

"Hmm······ I thought the same thing, but I was too embarrassed to speak. Wu Peipei hugged Li Guolou's body tightly, so that Li Guolou felt her love, and hoped to snuggle in Li Guolou's arms forever.

Li Guolou hugged Wu Peipei in his arms, and easily kicked up to the second floor, while Wu Peipei hooked his neck with both hands, and the two stared at each other, staring at each other so affectionately, their eyes were so blazing, as if a fire was burning in their hearts.

There are rules in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor is getting up at three o'clock, the imperial dining room is offering a product of stewed bird's nest with rock sugar as breakfast, occasionally the emperor Zaichun of Tongzhi does not need to be early, he eats at the same time, the daily breakfast meat and vegetarian eight kinds, as well as side dishes, pickles and snacks, there is no main meal at noon, generally eat a kind of cake called Bazhen pastry, which is made of ginseng, Poria cocos, yam, lentils, barley, Jianlian, fried seeds, meat japonica rice noodles, glutinous rice noodles mixed and grinded, add white sugar and steam out the pastries, dinner is more open at the end of the two or three moments, The number of dishes is similar to that of breakfast, and the emperor also eats supper in the evening, which is called "evening direction" and eats more wine, fruit cakes or ghee snacks.

It can be seen that the emperor's meal is not extravagant, and the ordinary rich and noble family is not much different, the Empress Dowager Cixi is an alternative in the palace, likes to enjoy the Empress Dowager, is used to holding power, has become a faction of its own, the Chinese people imagine that the royal diet is extravagant and wasteful, only the Empress Dowager Cixi is reflected.

Today's young Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun is particularly excited, yesterday's scientific expedition was over, and he finally did not disgrace the mission, completed the first selection of Jinshi after the wedding, people can easily come down, wait for a while to review a few folds, perfunctory, you can sneak out of the palace to play, five days early in the morning, the Qing Emperor does not go to the morning to speak, that is, the heart of the palace to approve the folds, generally in the morning things are done, and the minister of the study to say a few words, explain the day's work, people will be relaxed, the next is to play in the mountains and rivers, run to which yard to play, no one will care about him.

Diligent emperors, such as Emperor Yongzheng, can sit in the palace of the heart one day, review the folds, and go to the upper study to listen to the reports of several ministers in the upper study, but the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun is still lively and active, although the two queen mothers are about to cancel the curtain to listen to the government, let him lead the dynasty alone, but at this moment Zaichun can sit still, waiting for his classmates, Prince Gong Yixun's eldest son Zaicheng took him to see Chang'an Street "Kuaguan Tour Street" first, and then wandered around the flower street and willow lane, and chased laughter.

Zai Chun sat on the desk, while looking at the folds and looking at the pocket watch on the desk, uncertain, and secretly thought: Zai Cheng, this stinky boy, why haven't you come yet, Zai Cheng came in and out of the Shenwu Gate from the palace every day, and he should come to the Yangxin Hall one step ahead of the ministers, he didn't even turn over the three Niangniang brands last night for this trip, just waiting to see the handsome and merry twenty-eight beauties in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, think about the Queen Mother marrying a queen for him, two concubines, how can he be coquettish, as soon as they meet, they will get out of the quilt and slip their bodies, and they are not interesting at all.

When Zai Chunzheng was thinking nonsense, Zai Cheng came to the door of the Palace of Nourishing Heart, although the monarch and the minister are different, they must also pass and kowtow, but the two played a small intimate, went to the study to read together, Yuqing Palace listened to the class, after seeing the ceremony, Zai Cheng picked up a few snacks and ate them, and shouted: "Your Majesty, in order for you to catch up with the quaint official parade street, I am running with my life, and I haven't even eaten breakfast!" ”

The eunuch who was waiting next to him hurriedly poured tea for Zaicheng and handed over a hot towel, knowing that this master was generous and was the "second master" of these slaves.

Zai Cheng is two years younger than the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun, but he is young and old, and he is used to seeing big scenes, but the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun still has to listen to his command.

Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun looked at Zaicheng eating like a monkey, and couldn't help laughing: "Dorobele, don't worry, I still have to show my face in the upper study, otherwise you Ama will blame me again, eat slowly, there is still time." After speaking, Zaichun squeezed his eyes, he didn't really want to see any "praise official parade street", it was just an excuse, there could be a legitimate reason to sneak out of the Forbidden City, so early, the fun Qinlou Chu Pavilion had not yet opened for business, and the petite and delicate singer had not gotten up.

As soon as he heard the word "Ama", Zai Cheng ate the pastry in his mouth, choked, choked and rolled his eyes, and the pastry gushed out from his mouth and nose together, fortunately he covered his mouth and sprayed all the gold bricks, but fortunately it was not sprayed on the face of Emperor Tongzhi, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly beat his back, and another eunuch handed a wet towel.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, I'm eating, what are you mentioning my Ama for, you want him to know that I'm early in the morning, the emperor is here, don't I find it by myself." Zai Cheng was afraid when he saw his old-fashioned "Ama", he never spoke harshly to him, only cared about his studies, and was praised by the teacher Li Hongzao for writing articles, but he still couldn't hear a good word in his Ama mouth.

Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun smiled mischievously and said: "You are a thief with a weak heart, you have not done anything wrong, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, you are a dog biting Lu Tongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people, I'm leaving, what are you doing, I've become a ghost, am I still human." Zai Cheng is about to get up and go, anyway, he is still young, and he has to give him three points when he initiates a small temper and governs the emperor, not to mention that without him to show the way, lead a clear way, Zai Chun will be slaughtered again.

"Don't pretend, Dorobelle, if you come, you'll be safe, I'll be back at once, and you can sit here and wait a while." Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun reluctantly got up and grabbed Zai Cheng, and pulled and pulled him, so that he could continue to eat his breakfast.

Zai Cheng is also joking, how can he be really angry, even the emperor gave him face, he sat on the porcelain stool to eat breakfast with peace of mind, and looked at the Tongzhi Emperor to write a fold on Zhu Pi, he is actually a smart person, excellent literary talent, able to chant poetry, Manchu people of the same age belong to the smart and studious people, but the mind spends on eating, drinking and having fun, just like the children of the Manchurian nobles, young and not good at learning, the family is too rich, how to spend it can not be spent, like to wander around the lights of Shanhua Street Willow Lane, live a drunken nightlife.

Calculate the time Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun walked to the study, looking forward to someone coming to the study this morning, not Prince Gong Yixun, but the teacher Li Hongzao or the university scholar Wenxiang, these two old scholars, so confused, just memorize an article and perfunctory past, Prince Gong Yixun is not easy to fool, show him a twist, and then listen to his analysis and solution on the spot, don't give him a chance to slip away, he has a few fancy intestines, Prince Gong Yixun knows, there is no excuse to avoid.

Afraid of something, sitting in the study, Prince Gong Yixun, saw a stack of folds on the desk, Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun knew that it was over, and the scene of "Praise Official Parade Street" was invisible, and it would be a bubble in the morning.

Prince Gong Yixun came from the Empress Dowager Cixi's Chuxiu Palace, not from Xihuamen, got up in the morning to practice a trip to Buku, and played a set of Tai Chi, seemed very energetic, accompanied the Empress Dowager Cixi to eat breakfast together, drank Changbai Mountain ginseng tea, Poria wolfberry porridge, a product of bird's nest, served by Xiaode Zhang, changed into a sea blue river silk cotton robe, covered with a bluestone-colored cotton sand coat, and it was also a good time to come to the study.

The relationship between Yixun and the Empress Dowager Cixi, does Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun know in the end, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that after so many years, men have to think about it, since Prince Gong Yixun doesn't even want the regent throne, as Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun, what else can he ask for, both sides have their own duty, and no one will pierce this layer of window paper.

Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun was also glad that his mother Cixi only gave birth to one son to him, and no brother was qualified to grab the emperor's throne with him, and the emperor's uncle Yixun taught him to be a qualified king, and he also wanted to be like his ancestor Kangxi, who had made great achievements when he was a teenager and cleared up the internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty.

Prince Gong Yixun is exempt from kneeling the prince, sign up to bow down, the monarch and the minister are seated, the great eunuch Liu Deyin serves two bowls of mare's milk, the two drink mare's milk first, and then talk about the topic, look at each other, one is psychologically pantothenic, lamenting that one has been abandoned in the morning, and the other is ready to fight for a long time, to figure out the inner world of "Chun'er", and must not let Emperor Tongzhi be a loser,
