Cixi gave Guan Zhuofan two days off, but Guan Zhuofan had a lot of things to do, in fact, there was no happiness to enjoy a day off, and the half day yesterday was considered a "vacation", and he had to start working early this morning, and from morning to night, the schedule was full.

The first "official business" was to meet Emperor Kazakura.

It is said that it is an "audience", but in fact it has nothing to do with etiquette, but to see if there is anything inappropriate in the "leaving palace" where the "Japanese sister" temporarily lives, in terms of material conditions, safety and security, and the surrounding environment, so that it can be supplemented and corrected in time. Cixi is right about these things, others don't know much about it, and Guan Zhuofan really can't fake others.

And Emperor Sakura's "leaving the palace", in the Beida'an Hutong in the Xizhi Gate, was originally the residence of Honghui, the heir of the abolished prince Yinren of the Kangxi Dynasty.

Although Honghui is a concubine, he is the eldest grandson of the Holy Ancestor, and after Sejong ascended the throne, in order to appease people's hearts, he accumulated the grace of Honghui to Prince Heshuoli. When he arrived in the Qianlong Dynasty, this Prince Li thought that his father was the crown prince, and he was supposed to sit on the throne under the buttocks of the Hongli brothers. I thought about it so much that I couldn't help but think about it.

Gaozong saw that something was wrong, and put Honghui to the end, and people were circled. Inheritance. However, their family is not a "hereditary replacement", demoted to a first-class king.

In the Xianfeng Dynasty, the title of this branch has been handed down to the Duke of Feng'en Fuguo. Originally, the family of sinful remnants was a man with his tail between his legs, and his title was getting lower and lower, and finally he didn't dare to continue to live in the mansion regulated by the prince, so he took the initiative to move out and return the mansion to the imperial court.

This mansion. Although it is regulated by the prince. But it's not as grand and exaggerated as Prince Gong's Mansion and King Alcohol's Mansion. It is a suitable size, elegant and exquisite, and the surroundings are clean, suitable as the "palace" of Emperor Sakura.

Outside the gate, it was the soldiers of the infantry army who led the yamen, and the infantry military academy led the team saw Guan Beile's honor guard coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to sign up.

The name of this infantry military academy is Zhang Hengyuan, and he looks very energetic. Guan Zhuofan nodded with satisfaction. However, the infantry military academy is a positive sixth-grade, and the commander of the infantry army, the yamen, sent an official of the positive sixth-grade to come over to stand guard, and he was a little surprised.

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "Hengyuan, well, good name." Zhang Hengyuan, how did you arrange this shift for customs defense? ”

Zhang Hengyuan said: "Back to Lord Belle, the humble position is the overall responsibility, and there is a commission school and two sentinel chiefs below. There are four of us, taking turns to lead the shift. ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded again. Climb the stairs.

The heir of Ting Tian was already waiting under the dripping eaves of the second hall, with a smile on his face, and it seemed that there would be nothing too dissatisfied.

The heir of Ting Tian folded his hands and bowed deeply, "I've seen Lord Baylor"; Guan Zhuofan bowed his hand as a courtesy, "It's hard work for Tingtian Dian".

The two of them met the ceremony, and the heir of Tingtian said: "Your Majesty Xià asked Lord Belle to change into casual clothes first, and then meet in the study." ”

Guan Zhuofan was stunned.

When you change into casual clothes and meet, it means that the host "doesn't see the outside" of the guests. Especially when the host's status is higher than that of the guest, because the host and guest are not wearing official clothes, the guest does not need to give the host a "court courtesy", which is a sign of the host's courtesy to the guest. It seems that the Japanese know this rule in China. But in China, there has never been a courtier who can wear civilian clothes when he sees a monarch.

Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Your Majesty is generous, but I'm afraid it's disrespectful." ”

Tsuiko Tingda smiled and said, "Lord Belle doesn't have to be polite. His Majesty also said that when Lord Belle enters the Hajj, please be exempted. ”

Guan Zhuofan shook his hand slightly and said, "This Zhuofan never dares to obey the edict. ”

Tingtian Heizi said with a smile: "I can't stop Lord Belle from saluting, but casual clothes always have to be changed, Lord Baylor should not be polite anymore, so please stop." ”

Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to say: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Guan Zhuofan asked someone to bring in with a bag, and changed into civilian clothes in the side hall of the second hall.

After coming out, the heir of Ting Tian was waiting outside the hall with a smile. Seeing Guan Zhuofan in "new clothes", the smile on the face of the courtier changed subtly, uh, it was like...... The mother-in-law saw her favorite aunt.

Guan Zhuofan muttered in his heart: It's my illusion.

Tingtian's heir stepped on small steps and walked in front of Guan Zhuofan's right to lead the way.

Guan Zhuofan asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable about His Majesty's jade body?" ”

The heir of Ting Tian looked back slightly and said, "I have Lord Lao Belle worried. After going ashore, His Majesty's spirit began to improve, and yesterday he had recovered as usual. The previous discomfort was really because of seasickness. ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "How is your Majesty's appetite? ”

Teda Tsugu smiled, "Very good, after the spirit recovers, there are more than in Japan." ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled: "That's good, I'm afraid that you won't be used to Chinese food." ”

The heir of Ting Tian also smiled: "The Heavenly Empire is a kingdom, and the food is exquisite, and it really lives up to its reputation. If you want me to say, compared to Dongying, Chinese food tastes better. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said in his heart: Then you don't need to say!

When they arrived at the study and served tea, Tingtian said, "Lord Belle, please wait, I'll go to pick up His Majesty." He gave another salute before withdrawing.

After a cup of tea, soft footsteps sounded outside the door, and Guan Zhuofan stood up.

The door opened, and the heir of Niwada helped Emperor Sakura into the study.

Guan Zhuofan was stunned again, and his heartbeat involuntarily increased a little faster, this ......

I didn't have time to think about it, so I stepped forward to ask for peace. Emperor Sakura bowed slightly and returned the half-salute. Then the two sides sat down, and the heir of the court field stood aside.

The kimono on Emperor Sakura is not the kind of complicated and trivial style that Guan Zhuofan saw before. Guan Zhuofan couldn't tell the specific difference between them, but he could see that the style was obviously much simpler, and it looked similar to the kimono of later generations.

That is to say, there are many "homes".

Well, like what Guan Zhuofan wears, this should also be a kind of "casual clothes".

This is not really surprising Guan Zhuofan, what really stunned him was that Emperor Kazakura in front of him had long hair, completely spread out, and it was wet.

His Majesty the Emperor does not apply fat powder, 100% "without makeup", but the little face is ruddy and fresh, and it seems to be able to drip water.

Oh, His Majesty the Emperor has just finished bathing.

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself: It is said that the "Imperial Observatory" takes a bath every morning, and sure enough, it is true.

Guan Zhuofan suppressed his strange mood and exchanged a few polite words with the female emperor. Guan Zhuofan said, "If there is anything inappropriate, please make it clear"; And Emperor Sakura said, "Baylor bother, one qiē is good", and so on.

The nonsense was almost over, Guan Zhuofan took out a list and said: "This is a little bit of Zhuo Fan's heart, please Tingtian Dian's servant on behalf of the Emperor Xià to reward it." He stood up and passed it with both hands.

and Emperor Sakura and Tsuiko Teda, neither of them expected that Guan Zhuofan himself would give gifts. The heir of Ting Tian hurriedly stepped forward, took it with both hands with a smile on his face, his eyes swept slightly, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

The gift list is full of dazzling, and it is not much worse than the one given by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of China. Moreover, in addition to the genus of pearls, jade, gold, silver, satin, and ink, there are many things that are not on that gift list, such as all kinds of rouge gouache - all the women who traveled to China were all easy-going Sakura Emperors, which is very intimate.

There are also rhinoceros horn combs, red sandalwood sitting mirrors, painted gold boxes, etc., all of which are used for women's makeup, and the heirs of Ting Tian feel more and more that this Guan Beile is considerate.

In addition to that, there is quite a bit of food.

"Twenty catties of deer tendons, fifty deer tongues, fifty plates of deer tails, fifty pieces of deer ribs, and one hundred bunches of deer spine meat."

"Fifty roe deer, thirty roe deer, one hundred pheasants, and thirty hazel pheasants."

"One hundred white fish, two sturgeon, fifty catties of sea cucumbers, and one hundred pairs of prawns."

"Two stones of jade japonica rice, three stones of rouge rice, thirty pieces of blood glutinous, thirty pieces of blue glutinous rice, thirty pieces of white glutinous rice, and ten pieces of bell rice."

"Three hundred catties of silver silk jing, ten jars of tangerine, five jars of hawthorn, and ten jars of fried white-bellied fish and meat."

……

Originally, there was a "regular practice" for the supply of the female emperor and her attendants, and the quantity was carefully calculated and there was sufficient "redundancy" to ensure that there was no shortage of them. However, most of the food on Kwan Zhuofan's gift list is rare and not in the "norm". The heir of Akira is a person who has seen the world, and knows the weight of this gift, so he has a sense of solidity.
