When Cixi heard Arut's words, her face changed slightly, but in front of the foreign ministers, it was not easy to attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The minister commands." Lin Yizhe immediately agreed.

On the way to Changchun Palace just now, Lin Yizhe thought about using his hypnotism to "brainwash" the Alut clan like Hong Jun, removing her stubborn nature and saving her from becoming an obstacle to herself in the future. It's just that he didn't dare to act rashly in the deep palace, and he didn't have a chance to start. What he didn't expect was that the opportunity would come so quickly.

"Liu Chengyin, take the four treasures of the study." Without waiting for the Empress Dowager Cixi to order, the Empress turned her head and ordered.

Seeing that the young queen actually called the envoy in front of the two queen mothers, Ci'an and Cixi, in front of the eunuch leader Liu Chengyin, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Huh-" Liu Chengyin responded with a smile, glanced at Lin Yizhe, and did not order Li Lianying and his little eunuchs, but personally led people down, and after a while, he brought tables, chairs and study utensils. Liu Chengyin personally polished the paper for Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe got up and came to the desk, and cast a grateful look at Liu Chengyin, Liu Chengyin smiled slightly, took a royal lake pen dipped in ink, and handed it to Lin Yizhe with both hands.

"I'm sorry for Father-in-law Liu, take another pen with me." Lin Yizhe took the lake pen with both hands and said with a smile.

Liu Chengyin's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he glanced at the queen with a gaze that others couldn't detect at all, as if he had guessed something. He didn't ask much, but immediately took another lake pen, soaked it in the purple glazed Jun porcelain pen wash, dipped it in thick ink, and handed it to Lin Yizhe's hand.

Lin Yizhe held a lake pen in each hand, he looked at the sprinkled gold rice paper on the table, took a deep breath, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, his left and right hands waved together and wrote on the paper!

Seeing that Lin Yizhe was actually writing with his left and right hands at the same time, Alut's face couldn't help but change.

She has always been conceited about the calligraphy of her left hand, but she didn't expect that this young courtier in front of her could write with her left and right hands at the same time!

When Emperor Tongzhi saw this scene, his face also changed color, and he couldn't help but stand up.

I saw Lin Yizhe wrote a "east" word in his left hand, and a "west" word in his right hand has also been written, he moved the pen calmly, the pen is vigorous, although it is written with the left and right hands, but the gesture is very smooth, without the slightest stagnation. After a short time, a pair of couplets was written in a book.

"Come on! Sister! And everyone come and take a look! The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy and got up and said.

After Lin Yizhe finished writing, he respectfully put the two lake pens on the green jade pen stand next to the table, and then retreated to the side, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi took the Tongzhi Emperor and Empress and Concubine Hui to watch the couplets written by Lin Yizhe.

"'Looking west to Yaochi descends to the queen mother, and the east is full of purple air'...... Good! Good! The Empress Dowager Ci'an was the first to praise, "The words are well written, and the words are good!" ”

"What's even more rare is that it can be written with both hands at the same time." The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that Lin Yizhe was writing with both hands at the same time to pay tribute to the queen's difficulties, and specially said, "It is rare for ordinary people to write with their right hands and write with their left hands, and it is even more rare to write with both hands at the same time!" ”

Of course, the Arut clan understood that Cixi's words were mocking herself, and she was furious in her heart, she turned her head and glared at Lin Yizhe fiercely.

What Lin Yizhe wanted was for her to look at herself, and at the moment when she looked at herself, Lin Yizhe launched hypnosis.

Arut suddenly found that Lin Yizhe's eyes were like deep ancient pools, bottomless, she subconsciously wanted to turn her head, but found that her consciousness and body seemed to be completely controlled by some invisible force.

Although she was unconsciously controlled by some kind of force, she somehow enjoyed the feeling of being controlled and manipulated by others!

The voices of the people around her have become blurred, but only Lin Yizhe's voice is so soft and pleasant, full of magnetism, as if it can penetrate her whole body!

Emperor Tongzhi was worried that the empress would say something unpleasant to make the two queen mothers unhappy, but he didn't expect that the Arut clan just glanced at Lin Yizhe, then turned around calmly and said nothing more. Emperor Tongzhi's hanging heart was put down, and he didn't notice other abnormalities of the empress.

Thinking that the arrogant queen was also impressed by Lin Yizhe's left and right hand calligraphy, Emperor Tongzhi couldn't help but admire Lin Yizhe very much.

"Lin Kunyu, you think you have put a lot of effort into this calligraphy, right?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, when she was young, she was taught by her uncle and aunt, studied calligraphy diligently, and practiced for many years, so she was able to write with her left and right hands at the same time." Lin Yizhe, of course, could not tell the Empress Dowager Ci'an, he would use his left hand to write reverse characters when he was a child, under the training of a calligrapher with a "bad taste" in his hometown, he was able to write calligraphy with his left and right hands at the same time at the age of nine, and he also won the prize in the city's juvenile calligraphy competition held by the Children's Palace in this city, and he could only attribute this credit to Shen Baozhen and Lin Puqing.

"After many years of your trip, my uncle and aunt are very worried about it at home." The Empress Dowager Cixi heard Lin Yizhe's words about Shen Baozhen and his wife, and couldn't help but be moved, "When you finish your errand, you can return to Fujian Province to take up your post, or you can serve your relatives nearby." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!" Lin Yizhe hurriedly bowed to the ground, his voice becoming a little choked with gratitude.

"This kid is very filial, it's really touchable." The Empress Dowager Ci'an also nodded and smiled.

"Your errand this time is very hard, after you go back, let's rest for a month." The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Lin Yizhe's face that had become blackened due to the sunshine of the long years at sea, and felt pity in her heart, so she rewarded Lin Yizhe with a month's leave.

"The minister has a little hard work, but he is just bumped by some cars and ships, where can he compare to the hard work of the queen mother working day and night on state affairs." Lin Yizhe said, "The courtiers have to order a piece of food, called 'incense ball', which is the most nourishing and delicious, specially dedicated to the queen mother, and slightly expresses the courtier's filial piety." ”

"Oh?" When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Lin Yizhe was going to offer food to her, she was slightly surprised at first, and then smiled, "It's rare that you still have this filial piety." ”

"The Queen Mother, this incense ball is soft and fragrant, and it is most suitable for the elderly. Although the minister is a nephew, the uncle and aunt raised the minister, and the biological parents are no different, and they always want to find some food for the second elder to help digestion. The minister referred to the ancient books and made this incense group to honor the two elders, and the two elders praised it after eating, saying that it nourishes the brain and helps the mind. Lin Yizhe said, "The emperor and the people listen to the government, eat and wear, and they are very tired. ”

"Ouch, I really want to taste it." The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who smiled and nodded.

After a while, the two little eunuchs each came in with a beautiful wooden box in their hands and presented it to the two queen mothers. Liu Chengyin and Li Lianying stepped forward separately and opened the lid of the box.

The Empress Dowager Cixi felt a faint fragrance coming to her face, she looked closely, there were twelve small glutinous rice balls about the size of pigeon eggs divided into six colors neatly placed in the box, and I don't know what spices were used, it smelled not only fragrant, but also the color was tender and lovely, which made people unbearable.

Liu Chengyin and Li Lianying took the silver needles respectively, pricked each incense ball in turn, twisted it, and then carefully examined it for a while before putting away the silver needles. Lin Yizhe knew that this was the rule of the palace, and the purpose was to prevent someone from poisoning and assassinating, so it was not surprising.

The Empress Dowager Cixi picked up the ivory chopsticks in the box, put an emerald green incense ball in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Over there, the Empress Dowager Ci'an also used chopsticks to pick up a white incense ball and put it in her mouth.

Liu Chengyin and Li Lianying carefully observed the reaction of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces. I saw that after the Empress Dowager Cixi had eaten one incense ball, she ate another one, and then put down her chopsticks.

Over there, the Empress Dowager Ci'an also put down her chopsticks, and she, like Cixi, only ate two incense balls and stopped eating.

"Take it." The Empress Dowager Cixi took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and commanded lightly.

"Huh-" Liu Chengyin responded, and Li Lianying personally re-closed the lid of the box and took it down.

Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he saw that Ci'an and Cixi had only eaten two incense balls and stopped eating, but he suddenly remembered something and was immediately relieved.

It must be known that the Qing Palace has extremely strict rules on food, what does Kangxi like to eat? What does Yongzheng like to eat? What does Qianlong like to eat? I'm afraid no one knows. Not only do outsiders not know, but even the cooks who serve these people don't know. Why? It's because you don't let you know. If someone wants to brag about what the Empress Dowager Cixi likes to eat and what snacks she likes to eat, be careful about moving your head. This is a big taboo, and it is absolutely forbidden to talk about it in the palace. Everything in the palace has to be put on file, but the emperor and the queen mother will never write about what they like to eat. This is something that no one is allowed to know. Because of what, everyone understands it in their hearts, but no one says it, and whoever says it loses his head. Moreover, according to the rules of the court, the emperor and the queen mother will never say "what I like to eat" or "what I want to eat today", just like ordinary people take a look at the restaurant, order a few dishes for the kitchen staff to cook. This is not allowed. Therefore, when the Empress Dowager Cixi eats, every time more than 120 dishes are taken out, they are all put on the table, and the Empress Dowager Cixi chooses them at will. The Empress Dowager Cixi also deliberately did this, and the dishes she liked today may not be eaten tomorrow, and she will eat this dish again after a while. So that no one can figure out the law in this.
