A beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous palace dress is improvised in the house writing poems.

The calligraphy on the sprinkled gold rice paper is neat and beautiful, showing this woman's extremely high calligraphy skills. And what is even more surprising is that these words are written by her left hand.

This woman is the Empress of the Tongzhi Emperor, Alut.

Arut was born on the first day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), two years older than the Tongzhi Emperor. His father is Chongqi, the only Mongolian champion Chongqi who won the crown of the Great Qing Dynasty "after more than 200 years of founding the country, and the Manchu and Mongolian people tried Chinese language". Chongqi Gong is good at poetry and painting, versatile, and has high cultural attainments. Empress Arut was born in such a cultural family, and was taught and nurtured by her father, and her cultural accomplishment was also very high. Influenced by her father, she also wrote very beautifully, especially with her left hand, which was praised by the contemporaries. On October 16, 1872, she married Emperor Tongzhi, sat in Fengyu, entered the Daqing Gate in a dignified manner, passed through Tiananmen, Duanmen, and Wumen, and carried into Kunning Palace, becoming the queen of the middle palace in the world in one fell swoop.

The queen's middle palace was originally Kunning Palace. Later, because the emperor's office was moved from the outer court to the Qianqing officials of the inner court, the dormitory was moved west to the Yangxin Palace, so the Kunning Palace became the formal middle palace. The empress can choose one of the six palaces in the east and west to live at will, and only stay with the emperor for two days in Kunning Palace when the emperor is married. Of course, if you are married before becoming the emperor, you will not enjoy this treatment. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty only held a wedding after ascending the throne, and the queen once lived in Kunning Palace, only the Kangxi and Tongzhi dynasties. It is the status of the Empress of the Arut clan that is extremely revered.

"The master writes beautifully!" Seeing that the Empress of the Arut clan finished writing, the little palace maids standing aside all praised it.

Listening to the praise of his subordinates, Arut only smiled slightly. She scrutinized her work, imagining the scene of Emperor Tongzhi seeing it, and her face couldn't help but flush slightly.

At this moment, a eunuch dressed in the color of the governor's uniform walked in quickly, stood under the porch, and bowed to the queen of the Arut clan in the house.

"Master Queen, Lord Xifo invites you to go over to Jianfu Palace."

The one who spoke was Li Lianying, the second chief manager of the palace and the deputy of Liu Chengyin, the chief manager.

"Li Lianying, Lord Xifo didn't say what he wanted me to do in the past?" Alut only glanced at Li Lianying, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and his eyes still continued to stay on his calligraphy work, "Didn't you go to the theater again?" ”

Hearing the queen's question, Li Lianying was furious.

This queen of the Arut clan has a haughty personality, and she is lonely and self-admiring, and does not like to welcome her. She always felt that she was a dignified queen who married from the Qing Dynasty, as long as she behaved properly and did it right, there was no need to do those flattering and slapping horses. Not long after entering the palace, the eunuchs and maids in the palace had a sharp decline in their original good impression of this "quiet and wise" and "virtuous" queen.

Take watching a play as an example, once, when the Arut clan accompanied Cixi to watch a play, he encountered a love scene between a man and a woman similar to the West Chamber of the Red Mansion, so he turned his head and didn't look at it, and no one called or listened, as if he was looking at the picture of the Spring Palace. The implication is that the court style is vulgar, but he is high. Her performance naturally made her mother-in-law Cixi very unhappy.

The people around the Arut clan couldn't see it, and persuaded her that she should please Cixi everywhere, and be kind to her, and only by having a good relationship with the queen mother could she keep her position, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to herself. But Arut replied, "Respect is fine, but not not." I am on the orders of the ancestors of heaven and earth, and those who enter from the Great Qing Gate cannot be easily shaken. It must be known that Cixi has always regretted living in the West Palace, and has always been angry that Emperor Xianfeng did not canonize herself as the empress before his death. Cixi entered the palace through a draft girl, and it was most taboo for others to mention entering through the Daqing Gate, because the Daqing Gate was an eternal pain in her heart. When the words of the Arut clan reached Cixi's ears, it was natural to think that she was deliberately despising herself, and that hostility towards her had already arisen.

And now that the Arut clan has only been in the palace for more than a month, the whole palace has become bored with the new queen.

Although Li Lianying was annoyed in her heart, she still had a flattering smile on her face: "The queen master said that he was joking, and Lord Xifo invited the queen master over, not to watch the play." It's a treasure to enjoy the Old Summer Palace. The envoys sent to the West by the imperial court are back, and they are going to come back with thousands of treasures from the original garden, and the two Lafayettes are happy, so don't you invite everyone to come over and take a look! ”

"Has the emperor passed?" Arut thought for a moment and asked.

"Back to the queen's master, the emperor has passed." Li Lianying replied with a smile.

"Has Concubine Hui (that is, Emperor Tongzhi's concubine Fucha clan) passed?"

"Back to the queen's master, the little master of Hui has also passed."

"Okay, got it. I'll be over in a moment. Arut said lightly, and he no longer looked at Li Lianying, but still admired his calligraphy.

"The minions are gone." Li Lianying lowered her waist again, turned around as she spoke, and hurriedly left with a few little eunuchs.

Arut then instructed the palace maid and eunuch to dress up and dress themselves.

Li Lianying and his entourage hurriedly returned to Jianfu Palace, and at this time, in the palace where the treasures of the Old Summer Palace were stored, not only the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Tongzhi Emperor and Prince Gong were all there, but even Prince Yi of Alcohol had also arrived.

Seeing that Li Lianying had come back by herself, and there was no queen, the Empress Dowager Cixi's brows furrowed slightly.

The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't ask much, but still smiling and smiling, she and the imperial concubine and a group of important ministers of the clan admired the various treasures that originally belonged to the Old Summer Palace on the shelves and tables.

"Lin Kunyu, who is coming back this time, how can there be so many Buddhas?" The Empress Dowager Cixi gently rubbed a golden Tibetan Buddha statue again, and asked Lin Yizhe with a smile.

"Back to the Queen Mother, these Buddha statues were seen in the British Capital Museum, and the British did not recognize this as a treasure in the circle at first, and they were not among the returns. The minister distinguishes his money, and sees that there are many words on it, which are made by the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty, which is made by the office, and is indeed for the royal use, so he asks for it back. Two thousand two hundred and sixty-two in all. It has been ascertained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they are all the old collections of the "Ten Thousand Buddha Building" in the "Bliss Realm". Lin Yizhe replied respectfully.

"You really work hard, if you change someone else, I'm afraid that this piece will let the British fool you." The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded approvingly.

"This is a matter within the duty of the ministers, and they should do their best." Lin Yizhe replied.

"Does the sixth master remember the Ten Thousand Buddha Tower?" Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head to Prince Gong and asked.

"This Ten Thousand Buddha Tower is in the northwest corner of the North Sea, and the 'Elysium' is collectively referred to as 'Little West Heaven'. It was built in the 35th year of Qianlong, when Emperor Gaozong celebrated the 60th birthday of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoshengxian (the prototype of "Zhen Huan" ^-^). According to the palace archives, the building was originally dedicated to 10,229 golden Buddhas. Prince Gong thought for a while and replied, "During the Battle of Gengshen, most of the Buddha statues were plundered by foreign soldiers and traitors, and only more than 3,000 statues were recovered. I think it was the spirit of Emperor Gaozong and my emperor who were filial piety and moved the Buddha, so that the envoy of the Qin Dynasty found such Buddha treasures, crossed the sea, and returned to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Prince Gong's words of "filial piety" obviously touched the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and she unconsciously glanced at her son Emperor Tongzhi.

Emperor Tongzhi was happy when he heard Prince Gong praise himself in front of his mother at the right time, but when he saw that his mother obviously had a trace of stern and displeased eyes, cold sweat suddenly broke out again.

As a son, of course, he understood what his mother meant by looking at him.

Thinking that the queen might have been petty again this time, he couldn't help but secretly cry out bitterly in his heart.

Lin Yizhe was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the main hall, and couldn't help but glance around with the corner of his eye, his gaze swept over Emperor Tongzhi, and just happened to see beads of sweat oozing from Emperor Tongzhi's forehead.

Thinking of this winter, although there is a brazier burning in this hall, it is also quite cold because of the emptiness, and this emperor is still sweating, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

When he saw the first glance of Concubine Hui, who had been standing beside Emperor Tongzhi, Fucha, he had a premonition.

It is rumored that the queen of Tongzhi is very beautiful, although he has not seen the Alut family and other concubines of Tongzhi, but from the sixteen-year-old beauty of the Luoli Hui Concubine Fucha in front of him, he can know that the quality of the concubines of the Tongzhi Emperor is not much higher than that of the Guangxu Emperor in later history.

This waste wood emperor is not in good health, and he married so many stunning women at once, I am afraid that his life will not be long!
