Chapter 32: The Three Can't Do It
Cixi's eyes flashed, and a strange look appeared on her face.
She nodded and said in a very solemn tone, "Sister, good idea!" Our sisters are 'inspecting the Summer Palace project', and 'he', the 'Summer Palace Survey Minister', naturally has to be with him. Along the way, apart from 'him', there was no princess, and there was no other person, in the Summer Palace, it was very appropriate to talk to 'him' about this. β
"Also, to tell you the truth," Ci'an smiled embarrassedly, "The Summer Palace, listening to you see the excitement of Tian'er, my heart is also itchy, I really want to go and see, what is it like?" Last ......"
"Last time", Cixi told Ci'an that "he" asked our sisters to "inspect the Summer Palace project". When Ci'an heard this, he was hesitant for a while, but he was eager to try. After thinking about it, just as she was about to say something, Cixi said inexplicably: "If my sister is too lazy to move, or if she thinks the movement is too loud, I'll go quietly alone." β
Ci'an's brain turned slowly, and her "groaning" was just a habitual action, and at the same time, she was instinctively worried, "How much will this trip cost?" Will there be anything to say on the way? "I'm afraid that the movement is too big" is a little bit, and "I'm too lazy to move", but it's nothing.
However, since Cixi said so, Ci'an didn't recognize it, so she had to say, "Then it's a partiality for my sister."
As a result, in the "last time" of the "inspection of the Summer Palace Project", only the Queen Mother was the only one.
This time, as soon as the word "last time" came out, Ci'an woke up. Put it this way. It will inevitably make Cixi feel that she regrets not being able to act "last time". even had the illusion that she blamed her for blocking her from making her trip. As soon as the thought moved, he hurriedly stopped talking.
The honest Ci'an is lacking in talent, and he didn't know how to go back to the circle for a while, and his face was slightly red.
"Uh, I mean, I mean...... Oh, this time. It's like the last time, the light car is simple, well, 'all the Luanyi', all the defenses, just call the Xuan Army Guards Regiment to be responsible, in this way, it doesn't cost anything, uh, on the road. There will probably be nothing to say. β
Phew, the conversation is finally back.
Cixi seemed unaware. nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, everything will be done according to what my sister said!" β
The reason is not in the "inspection of the Summer Palace Project" itself, not in the amount of money, but what everyone is staring at is the "threesome" of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Prince Xuan.
Many people have noticed that several times in the Xingguan Mansion, the eastern tour of Tianjin military parade, and the inspection of the Summer Palace project, are all sent by the Queen Mother alone, and the Queen Mother and Queen Mother always have various reasons, or temporary changes, or announced in advance, in short, it cannot be done.
That is to say, as long as you leave the palace gate, the intersection of the Queen Mother of the two palaces and Prince Xuan will become a matter of the Queen Mother alone.
It's weird.
If the Queen Mother has any feelings about Prince Xuan, it is absolutely impossible, anyone can see it, on the curtain, the Queen Mother is to Prince Xuan, and she is never under the Queen Mother, otherwise, the Queen Mother will not go on the pole to marry Princess Rong'an to Prince Xuan.
There have been countless speculations in the market, some of which are absurd, some of which are lawless, and they cannot all be written in pen and ink. Among them, one of the relatively reliable statements that everyone agrees to be that these three people, about eight characters above, are a little weird, and the three of them are walking together, that is, there is a disadvantage. Therefore, whenever Prince Youxuan goes on patrol with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, he will find all kinds of reasons and try not to go with three people.
Of course, this argument is not really tenable. If it is really eight characters Chongke, it is not conducive to the three of them to go together, the queen mother of the two palaces should take turns to patrol the outside, there is no reason why Prince Xuan is on the queen mother's patrol, always the queen mother's messenger, the queen mother always stays in the palace, nothing moves?
Well, how about this one?
When the day came, news came out from the palace: the queen mother and the queen mother were slightly ill, and the imperial doctor instructed that they should be quiet for one or two days, and they would not go to the "inspection of the Summer Palace Project" today.
What about the Queen Mother?
Let's go as planned.
Okay, okay, look, look, what am I talking about?!
Further news in the palace is that the queen mother likes to eat sweets, and last night, she entered a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, which is about this bowl of sweet soup, and she spoiled her stomach.
Uh, how can it be so ...... Familiar?
Once, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces was in the Xingguan Mansion - at that time, Prince Xuan was still brave and loyal to Gushan Beizi, right? It was not the first time that the Empress Dowager had visited the Guanfu, but it was the first time that Prince Xuan had welcomed and served the Empress Dowager to his own home. That time, when I was about to drive, I learned that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were "slightly sick", and the only guest today was the Queen Mother.
Well, that time, the Queen Mother also had a bad stomach.
Someone laughed: can't you just make up a new reason?
Some people think: I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, it is really ...... It's kind of weird.

Summer Palace, Penglai Island, Hanxu Building.
The peaks and valleys of the waves are gone, and the clouds and rain are not endless.
After everything was quiet, the gentle villagers were in a sweet mood, and suddenly, a slight strange sound of "grunting" broke the sweet and greasy tranquility.
The woman laughed, pushed the man, and said coquettishly: "You are a person! It's truly a bad sight! β
It turned out that this strange sound of "gurgling" came from the man's hunger.
"Chen only filled a piece of dim sum in the morning," Guan Zhuofan said, "and the belly has been around until nowβit's almost noon, right?" Alas, there's no way around it. β
"Ouch, that's a strange thing!" Cixi poked him lightly, "You are called, and the belly is from ...... Male? It's not a militaristic affair......"
Speaking of that "militaristic event", the red tide on his face couldn't help but emerge again.
"Serving the Queen Mother is a first-class military event...... No, serving the Queen Mother is more important than any military affairs! There's a name for this, it's calledβ"
Guan Zhuofan stretched out the tone: "Delivery-Gong-Grain-"
Cixi "snorted" again, laughed, poked him again, and this time used her strength: "What kind of mess are you!" β
"Ouch!"
After a while, Cixi said: "Okay, let's call Yu'er and Xiao Lizi to pass the meal, don't be really hungry for our Xuan Wangye." β
"The minister is terrified...... Well, thank you for your understanding. β
"What's the use of me understanding you? You are now a family man, and you can't even eat breakfast, how can this be? Isn't it better to have a family yet? β
How does this sound...... It's meant to be beyond words.
