It's really "everything is compared to the Virgin Queen Mother's Mansion in the palace of Princess Dunrou".

Princess Dunrou's Mansion, the most "quiet" place, is the princess's bedroom "Hui Yuan"; Princess Rong'an's mansion, the most "quiet" place, but it is the forehead's study "washing the heart".

"Xixinzhai" is also an independent small courtyard, however, there is only one house, hanging the plaque of "Xixinzhai", there are no east and west wings on both sides, instead, there are two corridors attached to the courtyard wall, which connects the "Xixinzhai" with the courtyard gate, and enters the courtyard gate, without bypassing the shadow wall, you can directly enter the cloister.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a pool, there are rockeries, small bridges, if you bypass the shadow wall, continue to move forward, you can pass through the small bridge, cross the pool, arrive at the "washing heart".

This is a typical pattern of Jiangnan gardens.

"Xixinzhai" sits in the north and faces south, faces three rooms, and the bright room in the middle is the place where the guests are formally received; The west room on the right hand is the place where the forehead is used to work and wave, that is, the "study" in a narrow sense; On the left hand, there is a place to live and rest, and under the south window is a bed, leaning against the north wall, a few chairs are placed, and their families are talking, and they are generally here, receiving the closest friends, and sometimes they are here.

The Queen Mother was introduced to the eastern part of the room.

As soon as Ci'an entered the room, he felt slightly dazzling, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out what was going on: in this room, there was no pasted paper on the window, but a large piece of glass, so the inside and outside were transparent, and the lighting was excellent.

The same seems to be true on the western side.

There is a huge Forbidden City, and there are countless palaces, but only the windows of the Heart Cultivation Hall are equipped with glass, even the Zhongcui Palace, where she lives. on the window. It's also paste-paper.

After the tea is served. Except for the Queen Mother and Prince Xuan, all the others, regardless of the masters and slaves, withdrew from the washing of their hearts—not only from the house, but also from the courtyard. This, there is no "comparison with the Virgin Queen Mother Linxing Dunjou Princess Mansion", that time, in the courtyard. There are also Li Lianying, Yu'er and Tulin.

Why is that?

cough cough, the windows of the "Gathering Garden" are pasted with window paper; The window of "washing the heart" is filled with glass, and in broad daylight, the sight cannot see through the window paper, but what about the glass? Hehe, the situation in the house, but you can see it.

If there are people in the yard, it is not "quiet" enough.

Ci'an sat on the edge of the couch. Guan Zhuofan stood with his head bowed on the side - although it was in his own home, the queen mother did not "give him a seat". He couldn't sit.

It is strange that the Queen Mother did not open her mouth to "give a seat".

Silent.

Originally, it was Ci'an who said that he had something to "discuss" with Guan Zhuofan, and the Queen Mother did not speak, and Guan Zhuofan should not take the initiative to inquire, but the atmosphere was too weird, and it would not be appropriate to be silent any longer, Guan Zhuofan was about to say, "What instructions does the Queen Mother have?" Just command", Ci'an finally spoke, her voice dry and trembling:

"Guan Zhuofan, I'll treat you...... How is it? ”

Guan Zhuofan was stunned, hurriedly leaned over slightly, and said solemnly: "The Queen Mother is kind, Yun Shi Yupei, the sky is high and the earth is thick!" Chen Minggan's five intestines...... It's hard to get back on the powder! ”

"Yun Shi...... Yupei? Alas, this, 'the sky is high and the earth is thick', I can't afford it, and I don't want you to 'powder' or anything, as long as you ...... Just show your conscience! ”

"The minister's white heart is ......"

Ci'an interrupted him: "I mean, you have to say one thing to me, and two to say two - you can't fool me!" ”

"How dare you?"

"Well, that's what you said, don't you forget!"

"Yes, the minister doesn't dare!"

"I ask you—"

Speaking of this, Ci'an froze, and the words swirled around her mouth, and turned around, and circled, and circled, and her face turned red, and finally, with great difficulty, she said it with great difficulty:

"'She'...... Go to Tianjin, in the end...... What are you going to do? ”

The voice was not loud, and he was still trembling, however, when Guan Zhuofan heard it in his ears, it was like a scorching thunder.

*

*

In the end, she decided to adopt the simplest and most direct method: be open and honest, "know it with affection, move it with reason", and ask "him" and "her" to cut off the "bad fate" and settle down.

No matter how loyal Ci'an is, she knows that this is the stupidest way, but she can't find a better way.

Her purpose is not to attack "him" and "her", her purpose is to tell "him" and "her" not to indulge in it anymore, but to pull "him" and "her" out of the "mud", and to take the favorite phrase of the foreign monks she heard from the Bai family, that is, what "save the lost lamb".

To do this kind of thing, the normal way should be like the time when Guan Zhuofan was forced to let go of the Lu family, "small punishment and big warning", so that he took the initiative to recognize his mistakes, and then retreated. However, doing so is too difficult for Ci'an! It's not that she can't be ruthless or can't do it - of course, there is more or less this factor - but in doing so, the rhythm, proportion, and inconsistencies are too difficult to master! This ability, "Westside" has, but she doesn't, carelessly, self-defeating, fake into true, and even ...... Turning the other cheek into an enemy, how can it be good?

Besides, how can "she" be comparable to the Lu family? The Lu family was just born beautiful, and his identity is investigated, but it is not difficult for Shengbao's concubine to ask "him" to let go of the Lu family; "She", but the Queen Mother! Tell "him" to let go of "her...... Besides, this matter is not something that "he" can do alone...... After doing the Lord, "he" must be willing first, and then think of ways to deal with "her"......

Also, looking back at the matter of the Lu family, Ci'an is already clear in his heart: the Lu family is just an outer room received by "him", not even a concubine, but "she" is so concerned, it is simply ...... "fake public and private"! What do you say "I'm afraid that he will teach the emperor badly", in fact, it must be that "she" has already had an interest in "him" at that time, and in her heart, she is jealous!

Ci'an regretted it very much, he believed Cixi's words at the beginning, and greatly tossed Guan Zhuofan for a round, otherwise, there might not be today's thing! At that time, "he" had not yet married, and his two aunts and wives were both in Shanghai, and he stayed alone in Beijing. If Lu didn't go, he might not have been ...... by her when she went to Tianjin for a military parade Take advantage of it!

Ci'an thought that Guan Zhuofan and Cixi "hooked up" when they went to Tianjin for a military parade, because only during that period of time did the two of them have the opportunity to be alone for a long time.

In addition, she vaguely felt that "she" took the initiative to "hook up" with "him" in this matter.

There is no evidence at all, it can only be said that compared to "he" taking the initiative to "hook up" with "her", Ci'an is more willing to believe that "she" took the initiative to "hook up" with "him".

Because of his disgust with Cixi's handling of the Lu family, this time, Ci'an was instinctively unwilling to take the same means to "dispose of" Guan Zhuofan.

Last but not least, Ci'an has inexplicable confidence in Guan Zhuofan, including believing in "his" loyalty, and also believing that "he" can understand his painstaking efforts.

Beating around the bush can not only make you incomprehensible and unable to get things done, but also may lead to more unpredictable misunderstandings.

So, after thinking about it, I finally decided to "be open and honest" and open the skylight to speak brightly.
