6. The cold wind (middle)

On October 23, the tenth year of Xianfeng, Ronglu's department captured Suzhou, Zeng Guofan heard that the peace in the north had been decided, and hurriedly waved his army to break through the granary of the Taiping army in Lishui, recaptured Xiaolingwei, and recaptured Hong Xiuquan and others in Jiangning to form a joint encirclement, and the destruction of the Taiping army was just around the corner.

On October 24, Erjinpasha Lige Luo and other prisoners were released.

On October 25, the imperial decree of the soldiers in the battle of Yongtong Bridge was enshrined.

On October 29, Prince Gong asked for an order to go to Xingxing, but the edict did not allow it.

On November 15, the day of the winter solstice, the noble concubine Niu Hulu presided over the family sacrifice celebration in the Rehe Palace.

On November 20, the governor of Henan played a game, and the remnants of the Twist Army were defeated at Tiger Pass and routed westward.

Emperor Xianfeng saw that the world was becoming more and more comforted, and he became more and more proud. On Chinese New Year's Eve, I drank too much and went hunting on horseback, but I didn't want to fall off the saddle all at once, but I fell and injured my left ankle, and I was flustered for a while.

"What's going on?" The queen was shocked, she had just given the New Year's reward to the foreign women, and the New Year's gift to the concubines and concubines, and when she heard the announcement coming from Xing, she couldn't help but be shocked, "How could you fall and hurt yourself?" ”

"I heard that I drank wine that day and fell off my horse," De Ling replied in a low voice, the red Luo charcoal in the Chuxiu Palace was being smoked warm, and De Ling felt that fine beads of sweat had oozed from the wings of his nose, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my ankle hurts." ”

"These starters!" Xingzhen was furious, and everyone in the hall was careless, "How to be bad, it must be Su Shun and others who blindly follow the emperor's will," Today's queen is all in charge of the six palaces, coupled with the prestige in Beijing, some sour literati have already used the title of "queen of heaven" in the poems, and no one in the six palaces is respectful and obedient, Xingzhen said worriedly. "How can you ride a horse after drinking, isn't this deliberately causing an accident!"

Fan'er, who was wearing a blue cheongsam with a blue bottom Su embroidery piping, raised her head and put down the embroidery in her hand, "Niangniang, don't be angry, didn't you say that there is no big problem, the emperor must have no worries." ”

"Tell the Bone Wound Holy Hand of the Hundred Herbs Hall to go and see! I'm really worried, hey. There are some courtiers who know that the emperor is having fun, so they blindly mess around. Xingzhen walked around irritably, and asked Deling again, "Have you brought the file of the Jingshifang?" ”

"It's been brought, there has been no rest since the winter solstice, every day the emperor has summoned concubines to sleep, the most is Concubine Li, a few promises are always in the little master, and there are also a few concubines."

"I see that the Spring Festival is coming," Xingzhen muttered. "No," Xingzhen looked up, "I'm going to do it!" ”

"But Niangniang, you don't have a will, you can't go," An Dehai hurriedly said, "You have been on the fold several times, and there is no letter from the Long Live Lord." It's not appropriate to leave the palace without permission. ”

Xingzhen sat down dejectedly, "How can this be," At this time, Xingzhen regretted a little that she had returned the seal of the Tongdaotang, without that seal, it was really difficult for her to move an inch, even if the "Beijing Treaty" had been approved by herself. But that is also sneaky, the queen who has never felt that she has no power in her hands only then understands that without the emperor's order, it is extremely difficult for her to take a step out of this palace gate, and she used to think that it would be okay not to stay by the emperor's side, but now even if no one is slandering, the emperor is about to forget about himself.

"De Ling," Xingzhen couldn't, so she had to take out the magic weapon of De Ling, who had served the emperor for many years, "You prepare, after the New Year, you will set off to go to the line, and say that the palace is not worried about the emperor, if the emperor asks, say that the palace is okay to come in person, and I am afraid that the people who are serving in the line will not be useful, so I asked you to mention some." ”

"Yes." ……

There are three stages of the "Summer Resort", the largest is in the Fushou Garden in front of the Qinzheng Palace, and it is only used when it meets the birthday ceremony. One is behind the Jingcheng Palace, which is very close to the emperor's bedroom. There is also a place in Ruyizhou, Ruyizhou faces the water on three sides, a path is far away, suitable for living in midsummer, the stage is built near the water, named a cloud, Sushun has sent people to repair, to be opened before the Wanshou Festival.

The stage that is often used is the one behind the Jingcheng Palace. When the concubine and the concubine arrived, the play had started, and the emperor who was on the throne was looking at the stage intently, and it was not appropriate to distract him at this time, but he only did his own etiquette, knelt down, sat down, and sang in Kun dialect, which was not as lively as playing indiscriminately, and it was not as easy to understand as indiscriminately, but the footsteps of the play, King Fujin was on the stage more than once, and he was a student of the Shengping Department, named Zhang Duofu, who was said to be the most favored by the emperor. I don't know what kind of play this Duofu is singing at the moment? I saw him wearing a paddy field coat, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and he wanted to pretend to be a little nun. The moth eyebrows are lightly swept on the face, the rouge is thinly applied, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are made to make the meaning of infinite spring heart rippling, of course, she is an unruly little nun.

The emperor and Concubine Li and others all relished it, but Concubine Zhen was very unimpressed, and only kept whispering about sins, sins! And he often closes his eyes, but when he doesn't close them for a long time, he has to open them widely.

The first is the old student Huang Chunquan's "Hotel", singing the story in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Qin Shubao was trapped in Paradise State, and was humiliated by the hotel shopkeeper, and had to sell Malay to pay back the food money. Huang Chunquan is a "cloud covering the moon" voice, especially suitable for singing this desolate and agitated play, at this moment, the prelude skills, but also dare not have the slightest negligence, reminiscing about the past, narrating his life experience, and portraying the bleak situation of a hero's end of the road. The little flower face who pretended to be the shopkeeper naturally used all his energy, and only used harsh words, forcing Qin Shubao to be cornered. That villain face and mouth, Concubine Li is the second in Sushun, so she was so happy and angry that she couldn't help pulling Concubine Zhen's sleeve and whispered: "You are profitable!" ”

After the singing of "Hotel" was finished, after a pause, the eunuch set the table and passed the meal, and then the emperor had time to talk to people.

"Where's Big Brother?" He asked Concubine Zhen.

"He's coming, I'm afraid he's going to study, so I won't let him come. Moreover, "Concubine Zhen was straight, and a little shy, and said: "There are some dramas, but it is really not appropriate for children to come."

The emperor knew that she was referring to the "Sifan" sung by Zhang Duofu. This play is not an obscene play, it brings forth the new, and there is another wonderful solution, and I was about to explain the benefits to the queen, but I saw the former minister Su Shun, leading the officials of the internal performance office, holding the yellow box, and entering the palace.

There are a total of seven military newspapers in the yellow box, one of which is the flying performance of the Hangzhou general Ruichang and the Zhejiang governor Wang Youling, who supervised the military affairs of Zhejiang: "Chen Yucheng marched a hundred miles in one day, Huzhou in eastern Zhejiang was lost, and Lanxi in Yanzhou was tight. "The emperor is most worried about Zhejiang's military affairs, from Shouchang to Shaoxing and Hangzhou, the relationship is particularly important, the advance and retreat are appropriate, and there must be instructions immediately, so he sent an edict: "Summons the Minister of Military Aircraft." ”

The good drama couldn't be heard, the emperor was greatly disappointed, his impression of Ruichang and Wang Youling was not good, and at this time, he became more and more convinced that these two people were ineffective, so after instructing the strategy, Ruichang and Wang Youling were scolded. Because he was too excited, he talked too much, and the cold wind kept blowing on his head, so that he was panting and dizzy, and it seemed that he was waiting for the wind and cold and couldn't go to the theater anymore.

By the next day, the spirit was slightly better, and the unfinished joy of the previous day continued. Early in the morning, waiting for the play to start in the afternoon, the Shengping Department opened the play list, the emperor personally ordered, don't want the martial arts drama of big gongs and drums, don't want boring and serious singing dramas, a play "Shengping of the Four Seas", Zhu Bi commented: "Next time", the rest are all co-starred amorous dramas by Shengdan, or jokes with clown gags.

After so three times, the emperor got up to change his clothes, half a cup of tea, the emperor smoked a bag of hookah, drank half a bowl of Longjing before the rain, and then came again, at this time the peony pavilion "Dreaming" on the field can be finished, gongs and drums are knocking and knocking, and a new play is played.
