Guan Zhuofan eats this bowl of bird's nest porridge, his mouth is sweet and soft, the end of his nose is the smell of Xiang Ze floating from the opposite side of the circle, and the corner of his eyes can't avoid the softness of the pair of frost and snow, which is really a little unrelenting. He tried his best to keep his mind in his head, and ate it all steadily, without making jokes such as dripping porridge onto his placket.

In the end, even the bottom of the bowl was scraped with a spoon.

This action fell in the eyes of Concubine Ligui, and she couldn't help but smile.

Guan Zhuofan put down the empty bowl, sighed, and said: "'This song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world? ’”

Concubine Ligui was slightly stunned, and then understood that he was changing his method, praising his "craftsmanship", and couldn't help but raise his hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of "goldfish playing in the water", and laughed softly.

This smile is a thousand charming students! Guan Zhuofan almost felt thrilled, and his "determination" to "keep manners and be self-controlled" made up by the "mother-in-law" was almost shaken.

At the same time, he also understood why the two "mothers-in-law", the one in the "patriarchal meaning", would lose to the one in front of him in Wenzong?

After eating, the maid came in, took away the bowls and plates, and then served tea.

"If the prince uses the right flavor," Concubine Ligui said with a smile, "In the future, when you are here with Liniuer, you can use this bird's nest porridge at night." In addition, I still have a few side dishes, and I also want to invite the prince...... Uh, advice. ”

Guan Zhuofan's heart was moved: The treatment has been upgraded? Damn, sure enough, it really is...... "To keep a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach".

Yes. Wrong. Wrong. This statement is not right, but I dare not say that the beautiful man in front of me is me......

Well, there's nothing wrong with it, it's a mother's help to her daughter......

While thinking nonsense, he said with a smile: "Although I deserve it, I have no choice but to be disrespectful!" I've thanked you first! ”

With that, he stood up and made a gesture.

Concubine Ligui also stood up. With a slight blessing, he returned the half-salute, and said with a smile: "The prince is too polite!" ”

After sitting down again, Guan Zhuofan said in a half-joking tone: "'Eat people with soft mouths and short hands', the noble concubine is very generous, but there is a life, and everything is obeyed." ”

Concubine Ligui was peeped into by him, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

Guan Zhuofan looked interesting and thought. How many times do you blush at the end of the day?

But. He is said to be "soft-mouthed and short-handed", not to laugh, but because he is kind-hearted and takes the initiative to "interpret paintings" for Concubine Ligui.

Guan Zhuofan had already seen that Concubine Ligui's trip had another purpose, and she also saw it, although she was smiling and smiling, but she was nervous in her heart, and she didn't know how to talk about it, so it was better to take the initiative to make an "introduction" for her, and if she hid it, she could say it.

"The prince plans for Li Niu'er," Concubine Ligui said in a low voice, "Take care of everything, but if I take this to thank the prince, it won't be like a family......"

That is, Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, your bowl of bird's nest porridge probably has the factor of thanking me for being "meticulous" for your daughter, but if it is just because of this, it is indeed out of sight, your daughter is also my wife, thinking about it, there must be something else to ask for.

After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Ligui finally said, "I really have something to ask the prince for help." ”

Really.

"Please give me the command."

"Don't you dare to be a ...... when you command"

Concubine Ligui hesitated for a moment and glanced out the window.

Guan Zhuofan understood what she meant, and said loudly: "Everyone outside, retreat!" ”

Soon, the footsteps were chaotic, and the maids in the bright room and the sentry outside the house were all withdrawn.

"Please."

"The prince has a lot of opportunities, and he ...... The emperor is sick again, and at this time, it is really ...... to come to tell the prince about this matter Square peg. ”

Guan Zhuofan knows that Concubine Ligui is definitely not a person who is happy, eventful, and ignorant, what she shouldn't say, she can't say a word, she shouldn't take the road she shouldn't take, she won't take a step, her wording, since it is "inappropriate", and she doesn't use questions such as "I don't know if it's appropriate", most of them are not humility, and there is really something "inappropriate".

Guan Zhuofan's curiosity was provoked, and he said with a smile: "The noble concubine doesn't have to worry so much, the holy bow is really not hesitating, but whether it is the cardinal or the various yamen below, what should be done, what else should be done, and there should be no delay because of this, otherwise, it will not be regarded as 'the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king'." ”

After a pause, "It's the same for other things, except for the bad wedding banquet and big business, how to live, how to live." ”

"Yes," said Concubine Ligui, "I have no idea whether I should do this thing or not, and I can only tell the prince that there is such a thing." ”

"Yes, yes, please say it, concubine, if you really shouldn't do it, or if you can't do it, naturally you can't force it."

"Then, I'll be relieved."

After a pause, Concubine Ligui finally said: "Among the concubines of the first emperor, there is a concubine, the prince...... You know, right? ”

Guan Zhuofan was slightly stunned, nodded, and said, "Yes, I know." ”

He gave gifts to the palace, not only Zhong Cui Palace and Changchun Palace, but also other concubines, and the usual cards were also embellished, including Concubine Wan's palace, and he also gave things. Therefore, which concubines Wenzong left, he was "Men'er Qing". However, Guan Zhuofan sent things to these concubines, not for friendship and relationship, but because he didn't want others to say that he was "snobbish", he was only willing to talk to the queen mother of the two palaces.

"When I was in the palace," said Concubine Ligui, "Concubine Wan and I got along well, she learned well, and she taught Li Niu'er to read and paint, which is also Li Niu'er's...... Master. ”

Guan Zhuofan let out a soft "ah" and said: "I remember, this concubine Wan, a family heirloom of poetry and books, grandfather Yinghe, father Kuizhao, both literary names are prosperous, um." The Book of the Law of Yinghe. Kui Zhao's poems. It can be said that she is a temporary choice, her family has a family background, and her knowledge is naturally good. ”

"Yes," said Concubine Ligui, "we all say that she is the 'first talented woman' in the harem." ”

After a pause, "However, I asked her to teach Li Niuer poetry, calligraphy and painting." She agreed, but she said something like this, she said, 'King Xuanjun'—"

Speaking of this, Concubine Ligui stopped talking and looked at Guan Zhuofan's face.

Guan Zhuofan's heart moved: Mention me? said with a smile: "How is King Xuanjun? - The noble concubine said. ”

"Yes," Concubine Ligui smiled, "At that time, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces proposed the marriage of Li Niuer and Dun Niu'er, and it had just been ......."

Yes. So, at that time. I am still the "King of Xuanjun".

Concubine Ligui continued: "Concubine Wan said, 'King Xuanjun, of course, is very knowledgeable, not big, how can he be the emperor's master? However, he is a man of military merit—"

After a pause, he continued: "'His knowledge is the knowledge of governing the country, making decisions on killing, breaking and rushing bottles, and conquering cities, and it is a real university question! Poetry, calligraphy and painting, etc., are actually 'small paths' - not necessarily in his eyes, nor necessarily what he is really interested in. ’”

Guan Zhuofan was shocked in his heart: In the deep palace, there is actually a woman with such knowledge?

He remained silent, just nodded slightly, and said, "Ashamed! ”

Seeing Guan Zhuofan's reaction, Concubine Ligui was quite "positive", relieved herself, and said: "She also said something, whether this remark is reasonable or not, I don't know at all, I can only ...... Tell the prince as it is. ”

Or do you mean mine?

"Please."

Concubine Ligui hesitated slightly, and said: "Concubine Wan said, 'This nine-fold palace is actually a living coffin-sister, you can follow Liniu'er out, to tell the truth, I can't sleep with envy!'" If I could be like you, I would be happy to exchange anything! Even if it's mine...... One eye, one hand, one leg! ’”

Guan Zhuofan's heart was shocked.

Seeing that Guan Zhuofan's expression seemed to be different, Concubine Ligui's heart couldn't help but lift up slightly, I don't know what to say next, do you want to say it?

was hesitating, only to hear Guan Zhuofan say: "I understand-she wants to leave the palace and live separately!" ”

Concubine Ligui was taken aback, her lips opened slightly, and she couldn't close them - he still had a lot to say, how could he guess it?

Seeing her expression, Guan Zhuofan knew that he had guessed correctly, he didn't want Concubine Ligui to see the change in the expression on his face, so he picked up the tea, took a sip, calmed down his excitement, and then put down the tea bowl.

"At first glance," Guan Zhuofan's voice was calm, "it seems unbelievable, but ...... It's also human nature! ”

Concubine Ligui breathed a sigh of relief gently, and put down her heart again.

She also said......"

Concubine Ligui said three words, stopped again, and looked at Guan Zhuofan's face cautiously.

"We are a family, if you have anything to say, please say it, and you don't have to scruple anymore."

Concubine Ligui's heart was hot, and she said, "Yes, what the prince said is that we are a family-"

After a pause, "Well, I'll move on." Well, Concubine Wan also said, 'Sister, you, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, are a person with great ability and responsibility! I don't know if I'm thinking nonsense, but I always feel that in his hands, there are many centuries-old rules...... It's going to change! If there really is such a day, sister, please say a few kind words for me in front of him, and call me - so that I can see the sky outside the Forbidden City in my lifetime! ”

The shock in Guan Zhuofan's heart is even worse than his talent!

It's not because "in my lifetime, I can see the sky outside the Forbidden City" - I have already guessed.

It's not that I'm a "person with great ability and responsibility" -- everyone in the Great Qing Kingdom knows this.

The key is this sentence: "In his hands, many centuries-old rules may have to change!" This is the words of a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century, in the deep palace?

Suddenly, Guan Zhuofan had a ridiculous thought: This concubine Wan, won't it be ...... Crossed over, right?
