That's not right!

Princess Rong'an is turning her mind, how to speak tactfully, that is, to wake up the little emperor, without hurting his self-esteem? The little emperor let out a long sigh: "Alas-"

The little emperor is here with his sister, it is not without sighs, but it is very rare for the tone to be so long and careful, like an adult.

Princess Rong'an couldn't help but laugh, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with you today?" Who owes you two taels of silver? ”

The little emperor didn't know how much the "two taels of silver" was, but he saw his eyes glaring, like a goldfish floating out of the water: "Who owes me money?" If you owe it, you owe me money! ”

There is no truth to that.

Princess Rong'an thought to herself: How many things have you done with me? I didn't pay any of it back, but I owe you money?

So, angry and funny: "Oh? I owe the emperor money? So, please pope, how many taels of silver do you owe? ”

"You-it's not you, it's your family!"

"Your home"?

That's a strange thing! Moreover, it can be big or small, light or heavy!

Is it your own mother's house?

Princess Rong'an's face was lowered, and she said coldly: "The emperor's words are strange! How? I only know now that the emperor and I are not a family? ”

The little emperor knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he refused to admit his mistake, and after holding it for a while, his face turned red, and he finally said it: "Yes-Master Guan!" You guys...... Not a family? ”

Princess Rong'an sighed in her heart.

The little emperor's words are not like a joke.

She slowed her tone and said in a calm voice, "Oh? Isn't it...... What kind of mission did he not do well? Well. Is it what the emperor said last time? He can't Changchuan enter the Naohiro Hall of Virtue? ”

Princess Rong'an did not refute the little emperor. On the contrary, if you say so, it is tantamount to acquiescing that you and "him" are indeed "family". This, in her "interaction" with the little emperor, is unprecedented.

"It's the messenger who didn't do it - but it's not the messenger of the Hongde Temple!"

"Oh? Then, please make it clear to the emperor. ”

"It's a matter of the envoys of Britain, France, Russia, and the Netherlands!"

Princess Rong'an's heart. Another "pop".

According to the "ancestral system", the dialogue between her and the little emperor is not in accordance with the rules: the little emperor is still far from the pro-government; As for Princess Rong'an, "the harem can't interfere in politics" - that is, neither of their sisters and brothers is qualified to talk to Zang about the political affairs of the previous dynasty.

The little emperor is ignorant of this, but Princess Rong'an has a clear understanding. But this time it's different—this time, it's "his"!

No matter how young the little emperor is. is also the emperor, if there is a mustard in his heart. Between entry and exit, the relationship is heavy, and you can't help but ask about the ugliness.

"This matter," Princess Rong'an's face was as usual, trying to speak in a casual tone, "Is there anything inappropriate?" I don't understand major national affairs, but everyone says that he is a messenger...... That's a great job! What's wrong? ”

The little emperor snorted and said, "Of course you don't understand national affairs!" All you hear are eunuchs and women chewing their tongues -- where do they know about national affairs? ”

In addition to the palace maids, even the concubines of the first emperor and even the concubines of Ligui swept into it, and moreover, they also said "chewing the tongue" - very impolite.

The little emperor didn't notice the inappropriateness of his wording, and Princess Rong'an was also silent: "I originally wanted to ask the emperor for enlightenment." ”

The younger brother didn't hear the sarcasm in his sister's words, and said triumphantly: "I sue you, Master Xu, that the etiquette of the envoys of the four countries is wrong!" ”

In Princess Rong'an's heart, she "groaned" again.

Xu Tong?

She vaguely guessed what was going on in the Hongde Hall today.

"Oh? What's wrong? ”

"Master Xu said, Your Majesty, there have been no kneeling ministers since ancient times!"

That's what it was!

"This matter," Princess Rong'an frowned slightly, "Isn't it already a rule?" They are not our vassals, and it is not easy to take the etiquette of the vassals, and they are forced on others. ”

"It's not a vassal - it's still a minister! It's a minister—you should kneel! ”

"The 'kneel' that the emperor said should be 'kneel and knock', right? However, people can't kneel and bow to their own masters in their own homes! ”

She originally wanted to say, "Besides, we can't beat others", but after a moment's hesitation, she swallowed the sentence.

"Do as the locals do!" The little emperor said, "Our people, when we come to them, follow their rules; Their people, when they come to us, follow our rules! ”

Princess Rong'an smiled: "In this way, wouldn't we make a bargain at both ends?" People are not stupid, where are they willing to do it? ”

After a pause, he said: "I heard that the original treaty has actually been decided, and foreign envoys only bow when they meet, and they don't even kneel on one leg, he ...... After talking to others, foreigners are finally willing to kneel on one leg -- this is not to win back their rights, not to ...... Is it doing the best? ”

The little emperor said loudly: "What is good! The original "Tianjin Treaty" was signed damn good! Now it's just one more leg, what kind of 'top good'! ”

Princess Rong'an was startled when she heard him say the word "damn", and hurriedly said, "You be quiet!" That treaty was -- uh, I heard...... It was signed by the sixth uncle! Don't talk nonsense here! ”

The little emperor said curiously: "You know a lot." ”

Princess Rong'an was a little weak-hearted, tried to pretend to be an understatement, and said, "What do I know? It's just listening to the eunuchs' chatter. ”

After a slight pause, he quickly "messed up with his words": "I mean, you haven't been in politics yet - you have to have a gatekeeper!" ”

According to the little emperor's understanding, the implication of Princess Rong'an's words is: "You are close to the government, and you are in power, so you can naturally do whatever you want, but now, you have to endure it." This meaning, the little emperor is very "listening", and his heart is appropriate, feeling that after all, his sister and brother are connected, and his sister is still standing on his side.

So he also slowed down his tone and said: "I'm not complaining about Master Guan, I don't have the ability to ask foreigners to bow - I mean, the guests are rude, does the host have to see them?" What is the rationale for this? It's just gone! ”

Princess Rong'an thought to herself: This is really a must-see.

Just as he was hesitating to say this to him, the little emperor said again: "Let's not talk about etiquette, let's just say that foreigners will be allowed to enter Beijing - not to stay for ten days and half a month and then return to China, those legations, but for many years in our capital!" 'If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different' -- who knows what the hell those red-haired, green-eyed foreign devils have in mind? Master Xu said that this is a problem of elbows and armpits! ”

It's Xu Tong again.

"Master Xu's words," said Princess Rong'an, "I don't quite understand. Not to mention the United States, didn't we also send a minister in the capital of England? I heard that the British have begged us to send someone over and over again! The British are not afraid of any 'trouble with the elbow and armpit'? ”

The little emperor didn't think about this layer, and for a while, he opened his mouth and couldn't answer.

I was suffocated and suffocated, and I couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said loudly: "You are a woman, what do you know!" Since ancient times, there have been no kneeling ministers! It's just that I, the emperor, have ministers who don't kneel! Those foreign devil ministers, whoever likes to see them, I don't see them anyway! ”
