"How long have I been asleep? What about the Queen? ”

When Emperor Tongzhi woke up, he was shocked to find that the queen who had brought him infinite charm just now was gone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the Long Live Lord slept for less than half an hour, and the queen mother went to greet the Lord Xifo at this time." A palace maid hung her head and replied softly.

Emperor Tongzhi recalled the scene of love with the queen just now, and was amazed that the queen could still have the strength to walk to greet her mother.

Thinking that the queen, who has always been quiet and beautiful, can't let go every time she falls in love with herself, but just now she was full of waves, and she couldn't help but feel very proud.

It seems that the idea of soaking the queen's sweat towel into "Wanxiang Hongluo" with a "secret method" is wonderful!

Emperor Tongzhi's eyes fell on the "sweat towel" of the queen who was placed next to the pillow, he reached out and took the sweat towel and sniffed it, feeling that his body was gradually heating up, and his lust rose again.

"Come here." Emperor Tongzhi looked at the palace maids in front of him with good faces, smiled slightly, and beckoned to them.

The palace maids seemed to feel something, their faces turned red, they looked at each other a little timidly, and slowly came to the bed, before they could understand, Emperor Tongzhi had already gotten up, like an eagle catching a chicken, hugged the nearest palace maid in his arms, and covered her mouth with the queen's sweat towel.

"Ahh The Emperor ......"

"Come on!"

Forbidden City, Changchun Palace, Suishou Palace.

When Alut took a few palace maids and eunuchs along the verandah from Qingyinzhai on the east side of the Suishou Hall into the Yiqing Book House on the east side, the Empress Dowager Cixi was reclining on the bamboo couch by the flower wall on the south side of the study house and pretending to sleep, while Li Lianying was facing the door of the study house, kneeling on the futon in front of the bamboo couch, her hands into fists, and she was concentrating on beating her legs for the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Queen Mother......" Li Lianying, who was vaguely aware of the difference behind her, turned her head slightly, and even though she was bluffed, her face changed, and she almost stood up, he knelt neatly and turned around, and was about to kowtow to the Arut clan, but the latter waved his hand lightly, and a look froze in place.

"Get up first!" Arut deliberately kept her voice very low, and she stretched out her hand to point to the embroidered dragon porcelain pier on the right hand side of the bamboo couch, "Annoying Manager Li to bring that one over for me......"

"Huh!" Li Lianying also responded very quietly, and then got up from the terrazzo floor in the study room with both hands and feet, tiptoed to the embroidered dragon porcelain pier, carefully picked it up, and moved it to the bamboo couch to put it - he did it very carefully, and almost didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

Seeing that Li Lianying had already moved the embroidered dragon porcelain pier to the place, Alut gently lifted the hem of the skirt robe and sat down on it.

"Let's all get out." She waved her hand casually to the main entrance of the study house, and Li Lianying was also very knowledgeable and took the eunuchs and palace maids who came with the queen to give a deep salute to the queen and the queen mother, and then stepped back with her back to the door. After exiting the door of the Yiqing Book House, he immediately raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the Queen Mother on the bamboo couch and the Queen Mother in front of her—only to see that the Arut clan had begun to gently thump Cixi's legs.

Looking at this surprising scene, Li Lianying's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, he took two steps back very neatly, and only after making sure that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the library could no longer see him outside the house, he turned around and smiled.

As for the great changes that have taken place since the empress dowager accompanied the Empress Dowager to meet Lin Yizhe, he can't say what happened.

Inside the Love Book House.

"Hey......" The corners of the Empress Dowager Cixi's slightly drooping mouth suddenly floated into a happy smile, but she still closed her eyes and said: "Empress, your hands are still too light, not like Li Lianying's minion, after all, a man, hehe." ”

"Then let the daughter-in-law beat Lafayette for a while, and there will be a ......," Arut replied with a smile, but his subordinates did not stop, "The daughter-in-law will definitely come to beat Lafayette's legs more in the future, and it will not take a few times to make Lafayette more useful...... Practice makes perfect, doesn't it......"

"That's it! Let those minions do all this work! The Empress Dowager Cixi finally opened her eyes with a pair of mighty phoenixes, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and gently patted the queen's pair of pink fists that were still resting on her legs, and continued: "If you can have this heart, my wife will be very content!" Do you want to come and wait for me...... You'd better wait for the emperor! Let him put his heart on you more, so that he doesn't have to think about those foxes all day long, and he doesn't care about his own body at all! ”

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Alut remembered the daytime with Emperor Tongzhi just now, her face was slightly red, she stopped, got up from the embroidered dragon porcelain pier, and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi on the bamboo couch.

"The daughter-in-law is incompetent, and she failed to persuade the emperor to ......" As soon as the words came out, tears overflowed from Alut's water-cutting eyes, "This is the daughter-in-law's, isn't it ......"

"Alright, alright! I'm just casually saying it, what's the point. The Empress Dowager Cixi looked kind, and she stretched out her hand and pointed to the embroidered dragon porcelain pier: "The queen should get up and sit down and talk first." ”

"Yes!" Arut got up from the ground according to her words, and after she sat down, she was worried that the Empress Dowager Cixi would blame Emperor Tongzhi, and said: "Lafayette, the emperor is actually ...... The mind is still on the daughter-in-law, and Concubine Hui ......"

The reason why she said this is indeed not a mouthful, since Lin Yizhe entered Beijing to meet the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after the opening of the heart knot, these days the palace has been very harmonious, and the Tongzhi Emperor treats them better than before, and basically can achieve "rain and dew evenly". However, recently, the empress still felt that the emperor's behavior was a little abnormal.

Just like the sweat towel that the emperor deliberately let herself smell today, the fragrance on it, now that she thinks about it, she still can't help but shake her heart.

She has always been clean and self-promising, but she never imagined that she would become like that after smelling the fragrance of the sweat towel.

As soon as she remembered the merry scene between her and the emperor just now, she was ashamed.

"The queen's face is so red, is there something uncomfortable about her body?" The Empress Dowager Cixi noticed that Arut's face was crimson, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"No ......" The empress quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Did he just look for you?" The Empress Dowager Cixi asked quietly.

"Yes......" The queen was ashamed, and her head hung lower.

"I knew that you usually say goodbye, not at this time." The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at her embarrassed daughter-in-law, smiled, and held her hand.

"Galeries Lafayette ......"

"Well, I don't blame you for that."

"I don't know how much thought it takes to do things in government affairs! He actually went to look for you in broad daylight, which shows that this government affairs have been handled smoothly......", Empress Dowager Cixi bowed her head lightly and said: "This is also a good thing......

"Dealing with government affairs is the most draining time, thinking that Emperor Wenzong died that year, and the emperor was young, in the words of the Han people, it is called a lord and a young country......

Hearing the Empress Dowager Cixi say this, Arut's eyes, who were sitting respectfully on the side, suddenly jumped, and she could roughly guess what the Empress Dowager Cixi was going to say next......

Sure enough, after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she had already changed the topic: "There is no way for the hundred officials, so I can only follow the precedents of the past dynasties and let my sister and I listen to the government." Our sisters have not been able to bear this legitimacy until now, but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the foundation of our ancestors, we can only reluctantly bear this burden...... You have to hand over the inheritance left by your ancestors to the emperor well, so that you can be worthy of your ancestors and the people of the world......"

Thinking of the tribulations that the deceased Emperor Xianfeng and Emperor Tongzhi experienced when they were young, the Empress Dowager Cixi only felt sad for a while, and almost burst into tears, but she was always self-controlled, so she quickly controlled her feelings again.

The Empress Dowager Cixi suppressed her grief and continued to speak, "At the beginning, this thousand catties of burden fell on me and my sister. But our sisters have worked so hard and hard, but they can't even have a good reputation, and there are always so many people who say that I still hold on to the emperor when he is the age when he should be in power! Actually, who am I worried about? Isn't it for the sake of loving the Xinjueluo family? To fight for a breath? ”

"Fortunately, the emperor is now able to make a big decision!" Seeing that the Arut clan listened attentively, the Empress Dowager Cixi turned the topic back without a trace: "And now the overall situation is still quiet, as long as the emperor can seriously manage the government of this dynasty in the future and ensure that the country is safe, then we will not let foreigners bully us again, in that case...... The ancients all talked about a rapid retreat, I have worked hard all my life, and it is time for me to plan for myself, as long as the emperor can really bear this burden, then if our sisters don't take advantage of this time to see a good time, wouldn't it be too stupid? ……”

"Yes! The emperor is in power, and this garden is almost repaired, Lafayette has worked hard for so many years, and it is time to recuperate. Arut noticed that beads of sweat oozed from the Empress Dowager Cixi's forehead, and gently wiped her with a handkerchief while asking, "Daughter-in-law heard that this 'Heaven and Earth Family Spring' has been repaired, but why is Lafayette still living in this Changchun Palace and not going to 'Heaven and Earth Family Spring' to cool off?" ”

"Alas! My 'Heaven and Earth Family Spring' was repaired, but my sister's 'Jixi Hall' because of something happened in Taiwan, and the Japanese moved, and the golden silk nanmu could not be transported in, so the work was stopped, I was afraid that my sister would be on fire, so I didn't rush to move over. The Empress Dowager Cixi remembered the war in Taiwan, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "I don't know what's going on over there at this time, the emperor hasn't talked to me about it in the past two days, and he hasn't seen him coming, I want to ask about it......"

"This matter, my daughter-in-law has heard the emperor talk about it." When the empress heard the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she immediately picked up the conversation.

"Oh? What did the emperor say to you? Tell me about it. Empress Dowager Cixi immediately asked.

"The emperor just said that a few days ago, there was a report that the Japanese ships had been completely annihilated by our sailors, but there was another report that Xiamen had been bombarded by Japanese ships." The queen said, "When the emperor heard that Xiamen was bombed, he was very angry, and asked Lin Yizhe, the governor of Fujian, to report the details, and according to Master Weng's request, hand it over to the ministers and workers to ......."

"A meeting of the ministers?" When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, her brows immediately furrowed, "It's that class of scholars again!" ”

"What else did he say?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"The emperor just said this in passing, and nothing else was said...... "The queen noticed the strength of the Empress Dowager Cixi's hand, and knew that her plan had succeeded, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Humph! Doesn't he know that changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers? The Empress Dowager Cixi said, took the queen's hand, and stood up, and the queen quickly stood up and accompanied her in the room.

Empress Dowager Cixi frowned, pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but Li Lianying walked in slowly.

"Lafayette, the East Buddha and Concubine Hui are here." Li Lianying reported respectfully.

The Empress Dowager Cixi took the queen out to greet her in person, and when she saw Concubine Hui and the Empress Dowager Ci'an together, the queen deliberately showed surprise and affection, as if they had met unexpectedly.

After a few people sat down, there was a lot of noise, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an asked about the recent situation of Emperor Tongzhi.

"Why haven't you seen the emperor come over these days? Is it too busy with government affairs? ”

"It's probably going to be a little busy these days." Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "The Japanese have been provoking in Taiwan for a while, and the northwest is not calm, I think there are more folds in this way, no, the queen has come to ask for peace by herself." ”

"No wonder." Empress Dowager Ci'an smiled and looked at Concubine Hui, "Today, Concubine Hui herself came to ask for peace." ”

"I haven't seen you for a few more days, and I miss the emperor a little." Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "It just so happens that my sister is also here, so let him please be here for our sisters, so that he can run at both ends, besides, I still have something to say to him." What does my sister think? ”

"It's a good day today, then let's invite the emperor to come over." Ci'an nodded in agreement.

"Li Lianying, you go over and invite the emperor to come over," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, glancing at the empress, "He may go to the empress first, you might as well go to Chuxiu Palace first." ”

"Huh!" Li Lianying replied respectfully, and then walked away quickly with a few little eunuchs.

When Li Lianying hurriedly came to Chuxiu Palace, Emperor Tongzhi had already blessed three more palace maids.

At this time, Emperor Tongzhi still looked unsatisfied, and when he saw Li Lianying coming to pass the word, he gave up the plan to continue to talk to the palace maids, and reluctantly got up.

"Li Lianying, why did Huang Eniang suddenly think that she was going to pass?" Emperor Tongzhi asked casually while being dressed by the palace maids and eunuchs.

"If you go back to the emperor, the emperor has been busy with government affairs these days, and he didn't go over to say goodbye, and the queen mother misses the emperor and wants to meet the emperor." Li Lianying's mind turned, and the answer came out of her mouth.

He had already expected that this time the emperor would be disciplined, so he replied.

"Oh." Emperor Tongzhi didn't care, and after dressing up, he followed Li Lianying straight to Changchun Palace.

When he arrived at Changchun Palace, Emperor Tongzhi found that the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Hui Concubine were also there.

At this time, the Tongzhi Emperor did not know why the queen and Concubine Hui appeared in Changchun Palace at the same time, he first asked the two mothers to be safe, and after the queen and Concubine Hui saluted him, he stood aside and waited for his mother to ask.

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so you have to pay attention to your body." When the Empress Dowager Cixi saw her son, whose red light had not completely faded, she knew that he was probably messing around with the palace maid just now, and she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, but she was still kind on the surface.

"Yes." Emperor Tongzhi's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "My son has been busy with the war in Fujian and Taiwan recently, and he has not been able to come to greet the emperor's mother, and he is uneasy. If the son is not filial, please punish the emperor. ”

"Where does the emperor speak! As a monarch, you should put state affairs first, how can Eniang blame you! Empress Dowager Ci'an said with a smile, "Don't stand up, Emperor, sit down!" ”

Emperor Tongzhi sat on an embroidered dragon porcelain pier that Li Lianying had moved, and he looked at his mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi, whose face was calm but her eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and there was a feeling that a prisoner was waiting to be tried.

"The emperor just talked about the war in Fujian and Taiwan, how is it now?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked quietly.

Hearing his mother's straightforward question, Emperor Tongzhi did not notice the abnormality, but immediately replied: "According to the report of the Governor of Fujian Province the day before yesterday, the Japanese ships that invaded Taiwan have been completely wiped out, and most of their land fleet have been annihilated. ”

Unlike in the past, in order not to annoy his mother, he chose to report good news instead of bad news, not wanting his mother to know about the bombardment of Xiamen by Japanese ships.

"The emperor has just been in power, and this widow dares to provoke for no reason and raise troops to attack, which is really hateful!" The Empress Dowager Cixi pretended to be relieved and said, "I was worried that the emperor's military affairs might be handled inappropriately, so I can rest assured." ”

Hearing the words of praise and encouragement from the Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Tongzhi was very happy, and his heart relaxed a lot for a while.

But then the Empress Dowager Cixi's words changed, and his heart hung again.

"Now that victory is in sight, the emperor must remember that he must not fall for the treacherous schemes of the Japanese people." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Tang Xuanzong, Song Gaozong has learned from the past, and the emperor must be vigilant from time to time. ”

"Tang Xuanzong? Song Gaozong? Emperor Tongzhi was stunned when he heard this, he was so poor at learning that he couldn't understand for a while why his mother mentioned these two emperors in history.

"Son...... Confused, please also ask the emperor to make it clear! Emperor Tongzhi said in a snort. At this time, in front of his mother, he returned to his timidity before the pro-government.

"Tang Xuanzong listened to the slander of the eunuch Bian Lingcheng, and because of the small defeat of the front, he mistakenly killed the generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and from the words of the traitorous minister Yang Guozhong, the army missed the battle, buried the famous general Ge Shuhan, and the family and country were shattered and took refuge in other places." Empress Dowager Cixi's voice gradually became more severe, "Song Gaozong listened to Qin Hui's words, killed Yue Fei, and destroyed the Great Wall. Has the emperor forgotten these allusions? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tongzhi finally understood, and cold sweat broke out on his back for a while.

"Now that the Japanese are about to be defeated, they will inevitably create rumors, and there must be people in the court who are stupid and do not distinguish the truth, and blindly use the institution to trap, the emperor must not mistakenly believe the words of this generation and miss the major national affairs!" The Empress Dowager Cixi stared at Emperor Tongzhi and said in a deep voice.
