Cixi said to Ci'an, Guan Zhuofan asked our sisters and sons to "inspect the Summer Palace project".

Ci'an was groaning, and Cixi said, "If my sister is too lazy to move, or if she thinks the movement is too loud, I'll go quietly alone." ”

Ci'an was stunned for a moment: I didn't say "I'm too lazy to move", nor did I say "I think the movement is too big"?

Ci'an's hesitation, which is purely "habitual", does not mean that she disapproves of this matter. She is not a decisive person, and she is even slower to react to everything than Cixi, so she needs a little time to digest and think about things that she has never done before she can make a decision.

Hearing that Guan Zhuofan asked the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to "inspect the Summer Palace Project", Ci'an's heart beat first, and there was a faint feeling of eagerness to try in his heart. I'm thinking, how much will it cost to go on this trip? Will there be anything to say on the way? Cixi had already put on her a hat of "too lazy to move" and "too much movement".

Since you put it on, it's hard to take it off.

What's more, this is his consistent image.

Although Ci'an felt that Cixi's "Jianyì" was a bit strange today, she didn't have him, and said with a smile: "That's good, it's just my sister." ”

Cixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the small stone in her heart was gently put down.

Unfortunately, Cixi didn't see Ci'an's slightly stunned expression.

!

After Cixi proposed this "Jianyì", her eyes turned to the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not look directly at Ci'an, so she did not see the subtle reaction on Ci'an's face.

This is Cixi's deliberate understatement, in order to slow down the heart of mercy. And in essence, it was a ghost in her own heart. Instinctively avoiding Ci'an's gaze.

After all, Cixi is a woman who has just entered the age of establishment. Although he holds the supreme power of the empire. In terms of politics, he is already sophisticated and mature, but in other special things, he still can't be weak-minded.

Our Lady of the Empress Dowager's "inspection of the Summer Palace project" was indeed "quietly": the edict demanded that "the Xuanjun Guards Regiment was responsible for "dismissing a qiēluan ceremony" and a qiē customs defense.

On the bright side. Don't spend a tael of silver in the official.

As for why only the "West Side" came forward alone, everyone couldn't spew any fresh saliva down there, anyway, it always has been.

The Queen Mother sat in the "golden carriage" and left the palace in a dashing manner.

The moment she left the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City, Cixi's heart suddenly rose: a feeling of getting rid of the fence and the sky and the earth was wide, and she spontaneously arose.

The nine-story palace behind him is bottomless, and it is just a birdcage made of gold, what's so good?! The identity of the Queen Mother...... Alas!

Yu'er, who sat on her side, looked left and right. It's also a look of excitement and can't help itself.

As a palace maid, this looks. But it's a bit of a "loss of honor in front of the king".

Cixi frowned slightly and reprimanded, "I didn't know you were a monkey!" It's all people who have promised others, twisting around, what do they look like? Isn't it the first time you've been out of the palace with me, as for this? ”

The tone was reprimanding, but there was a smile on his face.

Yu'er's face turned red, and she hurriedly sat upright, and answered in a low voice: "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong."

After a while, he still couldn't bear it, and said in an irrepressible excited tone: "Master, look at how good this day is!" Blue Yingying! And the leaves of the trees are beginning to bud, and they are seeing the tender green! ”

Cixi smiled slightly and said, "Yo, spring is coming, and the spring heart of the little hooves is moving!" No wonder, I can't sit still! ”

Yu'er's already red face was "brushed", from light red to red, as if it was on fire.

She shouted softly, "Master! ......" will no longer dare to "talk nonsense".

Cixi originally wanted to tease her two more sentences, but when the words "spring heart moved" came out, her heart, if she felt something, "moved" first. Immediately after, somewhere deep in the body, it seemed to start "itching".

Through the front window of the "Golden Carriage", she looked at the tall back of the longitudinal control bridle in front of her, and breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes were hot and bright.

Luan drove out of the city from the Xizhi Gate, all the way to the west, arrived at the Summer Palace at the right time, and entered from the East Palace Gate.

The East Palace Gate is dedicated to the emperor, after entering the Qingyi Garden, the Qingyi Garden is changed to the Summer Palace, after the start of construction, because the East Palace Gate is the façade of a garden, so it is the earliest to complete the construction, than the "Penglai Three Islands" recommended by Guan Zhuofan to the Queen Mother - Hanxu Building, Zaojian Hall, Zhijing Pavilion, earlier than today.

In order to save materials and time, some materials from the abandoned garden of the Old Summer Palace were also used.

For example, the Yunlong Stone on the Imperial Dao Dan Majesty in front of the East Palace Gate, carved with two dragons playing with pearls, was moved from the ruins of the Anyou Palace in the Old Summer Palace.

Cixi originally thought that in addition to the "Penglai Three Islands" - Hanxu Building, Zaojian Hall, and Zhijing Pavilion, the rest of the Summer Palace must still be barren grass and rocks.

After entering the garden, Cixi found that the current Summer Palace was not at all what she imagined as "barren grass and rocks".

The road is smooth, clean and clean, there is no wild grass, no rocks, as far as the eye can see, except for the vast Kunming Lake, high scaffolding has been erected everywhere, densely packed, including Wanshou Mountain on the north shore of Kunming Lake.

There are many scaffolds, pavilions, and pavilions, which have seen scale.

Although the construction of the Summer Palace was suspended for a day due to the visit of the Queen Mother, except for the craftsmen on duty, the vast majority of the construction personnel have temporarily withdrawn from the Summer Palace, and the whole garden is quiet, but this piece of tall scaffolding fully shows how prosperous and lively a big construction site is.

The Old Summer Palace is next to the Summer Palace, the world has changed in time, this distinction between glory and decay, Cixi thought about it for a while, and a hot and sour breath surged up from the bottom of her heart, her eyes were hot and her nose was sore, and she could hardly hold herself.

"Golden carriage" along the east embankment of Kunming Lake, all the way to the south, not long time, Cixi will see, in front of a long bridge like a jade belt, like a long rainbow lying wave, stretching from the shore of the lake to the lake, connecting a small island in the lake.

She shouted softly: "Yu'er, count how many bridge holes are there on this bridge?" ”

At the same time, she herself was quickly calculating in her mind.

After a while, Yu'er said, "Back to the master, what is the ...... Seventeen bridge holes. ”

Almost at the same time, Cixi came up with the same answer.

Seventeen-hole bridge!

Unexpectedly, when I looked at the pattern, this haunting long bridge had also been repaired!

What Cixi didn't expect was that the seventeen-hole bridge was an all-stone building, Xuanzong withdrew the "three-mountain furnishings", and Qingyi Garden was abandoned, but within a few decades, the seventeen-hole bridge of the whole stone would not produce any substantial changes; The British and French plundered the three mountains and five gardens, and the seventeen-hole bridge was not damaged much, so it was relatively easy to repair.

More importantly, the "Seventeen Hole Bridge" leads to the "Penglai Island", and the "Hanxu Building" is on the island.

Therefore, in the "first phase of the project" of the Summer Palace, the "Seventeen-hole Bridge" and the "East Palace Gate" are the top priorities, and they are all completed first "Penglai Three Islands".

The car stopped at the bridge, and Guan Zhuofan came over to ask: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the seventeen-hole bridge can take the car." However, does the Queen Mother want to move the jade toes herself, walk as a car, and enjoy the scenery along the way? ”

Belch...... Naturally, it is wanted.
