So I pressed this matter, and then there was a new ** point in this ceremony, that is, the king of Sulu presented a New Year's Day gift, of course, the officials and lords present did not care much, only a few princes of the clan who hid treasures at home were secretly speechless, scattered the court, and it had all spread, a few Hanlin went home and was tortured by his wife, the government and the opposition were sensational, but I know what the king of Sulu offered, it turned out to be a golden pearl with a small thumb size of generally twenty, and a black pearl with the thickness of a thumb that has never been seen, Put it on the tray, when the hall opened the bright yellow satin covered on it, the soft light emitted by the pearl spread all over the Zhengda Guangming Palace, that is, the queen mother who was accustomed to seeing the treasures of the inner treasury couldn't help but widen her eyes, the phoenix heart was happy, and she didn't mention it, a few Hanlin went home and wrote a poem to satirize the Beiyang Sailor Xingshi and moved the crowd to fight, and in the end he just received a few pearls back, "What is the Thousand Miles Xingshi, the Xuanjin Pearl in the Sulu Kingdom" Several people called the Beiyang Water Tree to send troops to the Sulu State in the notes as the "Battle of the Golden Pearl", which was circulated, When these words reached the ears of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was not angry and happy, "In the future, you can use this reason to operate it, dt.com∮," so the wars that added makeup to the Queen Mother in the history books in the future are endless. The defeated countries have scolded the Empress Dowager Cixi for her selfish desires and reckless military force, which is a later story, not to mention for the time being.

After the completion of the Qianqing Palace, the Queen Mother discussed some important military and political matters with the Minister of Military Aircraft, and when she retired from the Dynasty, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and when she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Tang Wufu came up to greet her, "Concubine Li has been waiting inside for a long time." ”

"Is she the only one?"

"There are also two princesses, Yun Guifei, Rongshou and Rong'an." The emperor has not yet married, and the people in the palace are not called Tai, but they are called the masters of each palace according to the old title of Xianfengnian, except for the queen mother of the two palaces, of course.

The Queen Mother nodded, a little strange, "It's time for dinner, why are you still here, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

When they arrived at the main hall, several people hurriedly saluted, Concubine Li's eyes were condensed in the autumn water, and she blessed the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager Cixi took Concubine Li and took her hand to the inner hall, "How did this son come here?" He also asked Tang Wufu to prepare dinner, "It's rare today, with these people here, my dinner will be more lively." ”

Yun Guifei just sat and didn't speak, with a strange smile on her face, the two princesses had some eagerness in their eyes, and when they saw the Queen Mother asking, Li Guifei looked at the Queen Mother pitifully, "The concubine heard that there are a lot of gold beads in Sulu today, no, Baba has to wait for the Queen Mother to take it out for the big guy to see," Li Guifei pinched her handkerchief, coquettish and charming, "The Queen Mother won't be locked in the warehouse, right?" ”

"What's this? These things are naturally to be given to you to use," the Queen Mother smiled disapprovingly, a few people are happy, try to ask which woman doesn't like jewelry, especially this priceless gold beads, although Princess Rongshou has seen gold beads, but has never seen black pearls, the Queen Mother ordered someone to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get it, and went to dinner, because it is the middle of winter, this dinner is mostly mutton and beef, the Queen Mother saw that there are many people today, and called the small kitchen to make a few more fish and shrimp dishes, Li Guifei Su Xi fish and shrimp, a dinner to eat eyebrows and smiles, and wait until a few people have dinner, When he was drinking tea, An Dehai led a few eunuchs to take the pearls offered by the king of Sulu, and as soon as Fang opened it, the room was full of brilliance, and the white face of Concubine Li was shining, the gold beads were big and round, and it was rare to be of general size, and everyone hurriedly and colored the pearls, but they saw the pearl brilliance, and the big pale black pearl revealed a mysterious luster, and everyone was in a state of mind for a while, and it was difficult to restrain themselves, only Yun Guifei didn't like these jewels very much, but she was surprised and let go.

Concubine Li turned around, her eyes looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager nodded her nose, "You, Rong'an is so old, you are still like a child, you all have a share of this gold bead," as soon as the words came out, several people were overjoyed, and the Empress Dowager said to the eunuch in charge of the jewelry supervisor, "There are only twenty gold beads, big is big, but there is only one pearl made into a dynasty, it is not suitable for anyone, everyone is inevitably greedy, you first make two earrings of each, but the gold beads are precious, so that the craftsmen don't wear them, When the time comes, make a style first," Concubine Li was eager to try, and the Queen Mother understood, "Please take a look at Concubine Li, the style is not new, when the time comes, a few of you." The Queen Mother pointed to the four women present, "One pair for each person, one pair for each person, one pair for the sixth master Fujin and one pair for the seventh master Fujin, I have a pair of myself, and the rest will be put first, and I will prepare for the New Year's Festival to come down to reward people," the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, "Naturally, Zhong Cuigong's sister also has a pair." ”

Such a reward, everyone's string of earrings is more than a daughter, everyone is elated, Li Guifei is especially happy, the Queen Mother can think of her own Rong'an, and the Rongshou Princess, who is usually very dignified and generous, also smiled, the Queen Mother did not say who the black gold beads were going to give to, and everyone naturally did not mention it, the best thing, if it was not kept by the Queen Mother, who deserved it.
