Qichun Garden is located in the south of the Old Summer Palace and Changchun Garden, since the Qianlong period began to build, to the Jiaqing period of Dacheng, there are 30 scenes of Qichun Garden first, and then successively become more than 20 scenes, the more famous scenery has the Fuchun Hall, Qing Xia Zhai, Hanqiu Pavilion, Shengdong Room, Siyi Library, Chunze Zhai, Weizao Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Bixiang, Bamboo Forest Courtyard, Xiyu Mountain House, Yanyu Building, Hanhui Building, Chengxin Hall, Changhe Hall, Zhan Qingxuan, Zhao Liang Pavilion, Lingxu Pavilion and other places.

Xingzhen is the first time to come to Qichun Garden, although it is already early winter at this time, but the scenery here is still the same, only to see the waterscape here vertically and horizontally, everywhere is a group of Jiangnan water town scenery, several small gardens, separated by the winding waterway, each other is hidden, like Chinese poetry and painting as timeless, full of charm.

At the beginning of the month, Xingzhen won the Xianfeng reward, and allowed her to live in Qichun Garden to raise the baby. Swimming in this royal garden, Xingzhen secretly sighed in her heart, if it wasn't for a crossing, where could she really see such a beautiful royal garden? But thinking that in the time and space of her previous life, these scenery had long been destroyed by the Anglo-French alliance and the eight-nation alliance, she felt embarrassed.

At this time, it was noon, and the warm sun was shining down, just right for a walk, Xingzhen took An Dehai and Kang Qi to take a walk outside the Chengxin Hall on Nanhu Island on Qichunyuan West Road to bask in the sun. Along the way, Xingzhen took out the roll of paper in her hand from time to time to take a look, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows.

This note was brought into the palace by Rong Lu to An Dehai, and a paragraph was written in Chinese pinyin, which meant that Rong Lu had arranged to see him. This Rong Lu is also careful, what is written in Chinese pinyin is afraid that only he and he can understand it in this world, this thing seems to be foreign, but foreigners can't understand it. Even if you get it, you can't understand the meaning.

It's just that why does Rong Lu suddenly want to see himself? Hasn't he been helping Zeng Guofan train the Hunan army? A few months ago, Xingzhen faintly found out about one thing, the reason why she was deliberately neglected before, in addition to the evil of the Sacred Heart when she slept for the first time, there were also people who interfered with it. Xingzhen thought at first that someone in the palace did it, but later learned that it was someone outside the palace, and this person seemed to be Ronglu.

Xingzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of this, secretly thinking that he had done so many things just to make Xianfeng forget about himself, and then rescue himself from the palace, but he didn't know that before he met Ronglu, he was no longer perfect. She has to get back all the humiliation she has suffered, so it is impossible for her to go out of the palace with Rong Lu.

Xingzhen looked back at An Dehai, who was following with her head down, and asked lightly, "How is the emperor doing?" ”

An Dehai said in a low voice: "The emperor has recently become obsessed with Prince Zheng and several Han beauties presented by Su Shun, these Han girls each have a unique skill, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing. The four most outstanding of them all. The emperor named several of them. They are peony spring, apricot blossom spring, Wulin spring, and begonia spring, which are called four spring Niangniang. ”

Xingzhen smiled coldly and said: "This must be Su Lao Liu's idea, I want to offer a few beauties to win the emperor's favor, so he can go one step further." She said this, but secretly thought in her heart. Xianfeng Zuihou only served as an emperor for ten years, and died at the age of thirty, because of the weakness caused by the wine, and Xianfeng often drank deer blood to tonify for the sake of beauty. If you drink too much of this tonic, it will kill you. It's best if Xianfeng dies, as long as the only heir to the throne in her womb is born, Xianfeng won't be of much use. However, Xianfeng had better hold on for a few years, and it would not be too late to die after her power became more stable.

An Dehai then said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor has recently started to use Fushou ointment, and the queen has quarreled with the emperor because of this matter, and I heard that it has also alarmed the concubine of Emperor Kangci. ”

Xingzhen sighed, Fushou paste is opium, Xianfeng smoked Fushou ointment She didn't think it was strange, history records that Xianfeng did smoke opium to anesthetize himself, but that was when the Taiping Army was powerful and the foreigners launched the second opium war, at that time, Xianfeng could only rely on opium to anesthetize himself in order to paralyze himself. At this time, Xianfeng began to smoke opium, which only showed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was much stronger than in history, which made Xianfeng feel disheartened, so he simply broke the jar and began to smoke opium as spiritual sustenance.

However, the concubine of Emperor Kangci was Xianfeng's adoptive mother, the biological mother of Prince Gong Yixun, and the daughter of Hua Liang'a, a member of the Criminal Department. She is the concubine of Emperor Daoguang of Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty, although she did not become the queen before her death, but after her death was posthumously crowned as the queen by Emperor Xianfeng, becoming the only queen in the history of the Qing Dynasty, neither the previous emperor Fujin, nor the biological mother of the emperor of this dynasty. Now this imperial concubine is also the only remaining concubine of the previous generation in the palace, Xianfeng and Prince Gong are very filial to this elder, and Xingzhen often went to her to say goodbye before. Because Xingzhen is well-behaved, she is also very popular with the imperial concubine.

Xingzhen often goes to see the imperial concubine There is also a layer of meaning, where she often meets Prince Gong who also comes to greet her mother. Xingzhen's little uncle is actually very powerful, and it is also his relationship in history, so Cixi can successfully settle Su Shun and other eight ministers, so Xingzhen slowly became familiar with Prince Gong from the imperial concubine. In later generations, there are often TV dramas that say that Cixi and Yixun have had a personal relationship for a long time, that is really nonsense, at least Xingzhen knows that she only met Yixun in the palace, and the two didn't know each other at all before.

Hearing An Dehai talk about the imperial concubine, Xingzhen asked obediently, "What has Prince Gong been doing lately?" ”

An Dehai replied: "I heard that the emperor recently intended to ask Prince Gong to be the foreman of the position of Minister of Military Aircraft, but I heard that Prince Zheng and Su Shun sprinkled some eye medicine, but they failed to succeed, so they only became a military parade minister and made up the title of Zhenghuang Banner Commander. ”

Xingzhen smiled faintly and said, "Does Prince Gong know that it is Prince Zheng and Su Shun's bad?" ”

An Dehai replied: "It seems that I already know, and Prince Gong is still very angry." ”

Xingzhen snorted, not speaking, thinking in her heart that this was a good opportunity, if she could unite with Prince Gong through this matter, then she would be more confident in reaching the top in the future.

On the side, Kang Qi couldn't help but whisper: "Master, the emperor is only afraid that it will damage the dragon body if he smokes Fushou ointment, and when he sees the emperor, the master still persuades a few words." ”

Xingzhen snorted and said lightly: "The queen just persuaded the emperor to quarrel with the emperor, do you also want to touch this brow in the palace?" If you don't fall into the haode thing, you have to do less, this is what Aunt Kang taught me. ”

Kang Qi sighed lightly, this little master is no longer the innocent little girl she was back then, everything she does now is with a strong purpose, as she said, she will not do anything without falling behind.

The three of them walked away with a few palace maids and eunuchs, and as they spoke, they came to the Chengxin Hall on Nanhu Island on Qichunyuan West Road. Xingzhen has already made an appointment with Rong Lu to meet here, although this royal garden is also a royal forbidden place, but it is always easier to enter and exit than the Forbidden City, how many craftsmen, florists, and artists need to maintain and serve in the huge garden, about to meet here, Xingzhen believes that Rong Lu must have a way to come in.

At that moment, Xingzhen suddenly said: "I'm tired of walking, so I go inside to rest for a while and use some snacks?" ”

An Dehai hurriedly responded, and then let Xingzhen take her hand and walk in slowly. In this garden, Xingzhen came here to raise a baby, because of Xianfeng's grace, she could walk around, and everywhere she went, there were stewards and eunuchs serving diligently.

Entering the Chengxin Hall, I saw a quiet house with the words Yunyi Pavilion written on it, Xingzhen went inside to rest, and the eunuch in charge here ordered someone to serve refreshments.

After a while, I saw a few eunuchs lined up with all kinds of refreshments, and when they entered it, an old eunuch greeted them and assigned the eunuchs' posts one by one, and when they arrived at Zuihou, the old eunuch hesitated for a while, and said strangely: "Why is there one more?" It's obviously six. ”

The eunuch said softly: "It's seven, father-in-law, you remember wrong." The old eunuch was a little confused, patted his head and said, "Could it be that I remember wrong?" Anyway, seven is seven, the action is sharp, the nobles in the house are extremely favored characters in front of the emperor, a little bit of a pool, be careful of your little life. The eunuch snorted and stepped into the house.

After these eunuchs offered refreshments, Xingzhen recognized at a glance that a little eunuch was dressed up by Rong Lu, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Picking up a few refreshments and eating them, Xingzhen suddenly pointed to the little eunuch and said, "The palace is a little tired, everyone else should go down, this little eunuch looks very clever, so he stayed and waited." Then he said to An Dehai and Kang Qi: "You also go down, don't come in and disturb the palace without the instructions of the palace!" ”

Kang Qi and An Dehai responded, and went down with other palace maids and eunuchs, but Kang Qi was a little strange, why did the master suddenly become interested in a little eunuch? Peeking over, I suddenly felt that this little eunuch was very familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

After everyone left, Xingzhen looked up and saw that Rong Lu's face had become iron-blue, and his fists were clenched tightly, but tears were constantly rolling in his eyes.

Xingzhen sat on the soft chair, looked at his sad look, sighed lightly and said lightly: "Why are you suffering?" ”

Rong Lu took a deep breath before muttering, "You can't wait a little longer, I will definitely be able to take you out of the palace." ”

Xingzhen smiled bitterly and said lightly: "If you had told me before I went to bed for the first time, I would definitely go out of the palace with you, but when we met for the first time, I had already been bullied, and at that time Song Qingyun was already dead, and all that was alive was Yehenara who wanted to take revenge. Xingzhen! (To be continued......)
