Chapter 18: Reunion
Whether it is this time and space or the original time and space, between the mother and son of Cixi and Emperor Tongzhi, the relationship is sparse and unruly, and it finally causes a lot of trouble, which has something to do with this strange system of raising princes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She has been a mother for many years, but it is only now that Cixi has truly tasted the happiness and joy in it.
During the day, the petty official stayed with Cixi, and when it was time to settle in the evening, because the Virgin Empress Dowager suffered from a slight nervous breakdown, the petty official was carried next door and spent the night with the nurse.
In the matter of breastfeeding, in Nanmotodao's view, it is pure nonsense to find eight nurses for the child in one go, and one healthy lactating mother with sufficient milk is enough.
Not only that, but she also advocated that the Queen Mother should breastfeed herself, saying that "breastfeeding" is the most beneficial to the upbringing of children, and there is no second thing that can replace the establishment, consolidation, and maintenance of the relationship between mother and child.
Cixi followed her words.
When she untied her clothes and brought her body and the mouth of the junior official together, and the junior official ate her first mouthful of milk, Cixi, who was breastfeeding for the first time in her life, trembled all over, as if she had been electrocuted, and the wonderful feeling was beyond words, and unconsciously, her eyes were moist.
At that time, I felt that the world was vast, and there were still long years to go in the second half of my life, but it seemed that there was nothing else to ask for in this life.
Unfortunately, such a good time only lasted a few days.
The reason is very simple: the petty official has been born, however, the petty official's biological father, although in the letter and telegram, rejoiced, but still did not have any intention of coming to "visit".
Cixi's heart sank, and the last trace of illusion was shattered.
So, she said to Guan Zhuofan, some words, letters, telegrams, can't be said clearly, so let's ask Li Lianying to go back to Beijing and say what should be said in front of you.
Guan Zhuofan replied, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary "retreat and pray" for Emperor Wen Zongxian, the one-year period is not enough, now, if someone finds out, the eunuch Li, the chief manager of Changchun Palace, suddenly appears in the capital, which will inevitably cause great suspicion and discussion among the government and the opposition and even the people, which is not very appropriate, right?
Cixi said, Li can be disguised and modified, avoiding people's eyes and ears or something, a trivial matter, can it be difficult to live with the powerful Prince Xuan? In the end, the Queen Mother of Our Lady added unceremoniously: You have heard clearly, this is the decree of the Emperor, and it is the messenger sent to you, so you can think of it.
As a result, Li Lianying became like this: she didn't wear a "big hat", didn't wear court clothes, didn't wear court boots, had a melon skin hat on her head, a gray cloth robe on her body, and black cloth shoes on her feet, dressed up as a very ordinary shop "guy".
He also had two fake mustaches stuck to his lips.
Then, led by Xuanjun's people, he secretly boarded the train to Beijing.
After that, I have already explained it before, so I will not repeat it.

Cixi didn't know how long she had been standing on the terrace. It wasn't until dawn that she let out a long breath and turned back to the house.
As soon as I lifted my feet, I made a gentle "ouch" sound, and then I realized that both legs were sore.
At this moment, in the next room, faintly, there was a "wow" sound - the little official woke up.
Cixi inexplicably snorted.
She turned her head and looked at the glimmer of morning light in the sky, her eyes were already blazing.
No matter what has become of him, no matter what has happened in the past ten months, no matter what awaits me today, I have to shake my spirits and rise to the challenge!
I am the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi!
I am Yehnara. Xingzhen.
And, in any case, I have one of the most powerful chips in my hand.
The challenge is coming.
During lunch, Yu'er was originally a little worried that the Queen Mother would have no appetite because she had no thoughts, but to her surprise, Cixi not only had a normal amount of food, but also entered slowly and calmly, and it really didn't look like she was going to reunite with "people from Beijing" in a short time.
Yu'er was relieved in her heart, but she naturally didn't know that at this moment, the heart of the Queen Mother was fluctuating, and the delicacies in her mouth were actually completely unrecognizable, and she didn't know how much effort it took to make others look like everything was normal?
If Li Lianying was present, he would have been more worried: Is the abnormal tranquility and dullness a silent accumulation of strength before the storm?
The remnants of the meal were removed, and just after the tea was served, Hu Shi came in, smiling all over his face, but he looked a little out of breath.
"Our Lady of Enlightenment, Queen Mother," Hu Shi asked for peace, panting slightly, "Great joy! Prince Xuan has arrived! ”
Yu'er, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but let out a soft "ouch" and was happy.
Cixi's heart jumped suddenly, however, she took a sip of tea gently, then closed the lid of the bowl, and then asked slowly, "Oh? Where are you? ”
Hu Shi was slightly stunned and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, I just entered the garden." ”
"I see," Cixi said lightly, "you go down." ”
Hu Shi was a little confused, and retreated.
As soon as Hu went out, Cixi immediately put down the tea bowl, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and looked out.
As far as the eye could see, I couldn't help but tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the nose and eyes were hot, and the vision blurred.
Before the bronze "Water Law", two Western carriages were side by side, and Guan Zhuofan, dressed in military uniform, stood beside the carriage with a long body.
This one...... Enemy!
In Cixi's mind, the first word that popped up was the word "enemy".
In recent months, she has tried to cheer up and get rid of the threat of "prenatal depression", but no one knows - including Nanmoto Dao, the Queen Mother, who has ostensibly returned to normal, actually spends almost every day in resentment against this "enemy".
However, even Cixi herself didn't expect that as soon as she saw this "enemy" person, her heart suddenly frenched, and she almost gritted her teeth at him before, and rushed to pieces, and almost "couldn't hold it"!
However, she is Cixi after all, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother who made a decision to kill.
She wiped her eyes very quickly, took a deep breath, and warned herself: Calm down!
As soon as his mind cleared, a question came out: Guan Zhuofan is naturally riding a horse, so how can there be two cars? Didn't you say that Guan Zhuofan and Qifujin came first, and "Dongbianer" came later? Don't......
After a closer look, the door of the first car has been opened, but Guan Zhuofan's attention is on the second car - that is, the people in the first car have already gotten off, but as far as the eye can see, there is no Wanzhen or "Dongbianer", what is going on?
At this moment, Yu'er next to her exclaimed softly.
Cixi glanced at Yu'er, and Yu'er said in a trembling voice: "Master, look, the prince's arm ......"
Before, because of the agitation of the mood and the angle of sight, Cixi did not notice Guan Zhuofan's abnormality, after Yu'er shouted like this, she looked at it carefully-
Guan Zhuofan's left arm was hanging from his neck.
Cixi's mind, "boom", her body also shook.
"Master, master!"
Yu'er hurriedly helped Cixi.
Cixi waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter, and asked Yu'er to let go of her hand.
However, in her mind, there was a constant "buzz".
He's hurt!
What's going on?!
Be...... Walking in the air and falling? Still is...... Accidentally fell off while riding a horse? Or is it ......
At this time, no matter what, Cixi didn't dare to imagine that Guan Zhuofan's injury was not because she was careless, but because of others.
No wonder there are two cars......
That is, he did not come on horseback, but in a car...... He has been riding horses for many years, and now, the horse can't be ridden, that is, the injury is very serious!
Oh, my God!
Cixi was slightly dizzy.
In the past ten months, something "big" has really happened in Beijing!
She took another deep breath and warned herself again: calm down!
So, in the other car, it should be Wanzhen......
Sure enough, the footrest was placed, the car door opened, and Qifujin's head was exposed. A servant girl was already waiting, and she reached out and helped her down.
Qifujin's expression was mixed with amazement, confusion, and confusion, but Cixi's attention was not on her expression, but on her clothes.
Wanzhen ...... How to be vegan from head to toe?
This-
No, no...... This is not "vegan", this is ...... "vegan"!
God, Wanzhen is in ...... Filial piety!
