That night, Xianfeng really drove Chuxiu Palace again, listened to the song and tasted chrysanthemum tea, and tasted Xingzhen's homemade snacks, which made Xianfeng Longyan happy. Xianfeng stayed in Chuxiu Palace for several nights, and on this day he made a decree, and Lan Guiren was promoted to concubine.

The day after the decree was issued, Chuxiu Palace was very lively, and the Lan nobles finally got the favor of the saint and entered the position of Yi Concubine, so they naturally wanted to celebrate greatly. Kang Qi, An Dehai, Qi Dan and other old people of Chuxiu Palace raised their eyebrows, and they were finally no longer bullied by the palace people.

After celebrating, An Dehai, Qi Dan and the others all cried loudly, as if whoever cried didn't really care about the master. Xingzhen comforted her before she gave up. Hearing that Xingzhen had entered the Yi concubine, the concubines such as Concubine Li and An Guiren, who had never come to see each other before, came to celebrate, and even Niu Colu, who was already the queen, came over to comfort her.

This Niu Colu is the future Empress Dowager Ci'an, Xingzhen knows the background of this woman, and she is now the queen, so she naturally does not dare to slack off, so she befriended her according to Kangqi's instructions.

After some contact, Xingzhen found that Niu Colu's clan was indeed the same as recorded in the history books, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and soft-hearted. Xingzhen is also well-versed in the past and the present, has a wide range of knowledge (the advantage of a traverser), and has also been carefully taught by Kangqi, can sing Kunqu opera, can knit and embroidery, and calligraphy and painting are also quite exquisite (Xingzhen's body used to be). It's a place where the two girls can talk a lot, and they get along very well.

Kang Qi and Xingzhen confessed that Xingzhen was far from being the opponent of Niu Colu's clan at this time, so she could only get along with her, because she was strong and could never be evil. Xingzhen deeply thought that Cixi in history regarded herself as her sister until Ci'an's death, although Niu Colu was two years younger than Xingzhen.

And among the other concubines. Sakda was the original match of Xianfeng, but he fell ill in the last years of Daoguang. Concubine Tatara is also a weak woman, her personality is weaker than that of Niu Colu, and she will not be Xingzhen's opponent. The rest, like Mei Chang in Xu Jia's clan and Rong Chang in Ilgenjue, Luo clan are all from humble backgrounds and can't set off any storms. The remaining two daughters are Xingzhen's biggest opponents at present, one is to enter the palace at the same time as Xingzhen, and the concubine Suo Zhuo Luo, who was awarded the title of concubine earlier than Xingzhen. The other is Yun Concubine Wu Jia, this woman served Xianfeng in Xianfeng's mansion long before Xianfeng ascended the throne. The qualifications are very old.

Xingzhen naturally disdains to play palace fights with these women, in her opinion, if she wants to be in the position now, she only needs to do two things. One is that the Holy Grace is not fading, and it is best to have a Dragonborn first. Although Xianfeng has many concubines, none of them have come out. Whoever gives birth to the dragon son first will have the upper hand. And in history, Cixi also gave birth to Xianfeng's only son, Emperor Tongzhi. and became the Queen Mother of the West (Mei Chang also gave birth to a son in Xu Jia's family, but died young).

The second thing is that he is often accompanied by Xianfeng, and he can get the opportunity to be approved, so as to begin to influence political affairs and lay the foundation for the two palaces to listen to politics in the future.

But now Xingzhen is consciously getting a new favorite, and she can't take too big a step. can only marry the characters in the palace first, and slowly draw them.

After dealing with all kinds of immortals, it was already dark, and Xingzhen felt very tired. After dinner, I lay down in a daze on the soft collapse. Listening to An Dehai and Qi Dan, you and I said a word, and your eyebrows fluttered to tell today's scene, Xingzhen only felt bitter in her heart.

Who said that the Qing court is fun? It's not fun at all! Xingzhen only felt that she was wearing a huge mask, and everyone she saw was acting. When she was happy with her nominal husband Xianfeng, Xingzhen felt like vomiting, she felt like a prostitute, selling her body in exchange for what she needed, that kind of humiliation and helplessness were accumulated in her heart, sometimes Xingzhen really wanted to bite off Xianfeng's constantly wriggling throat, and it would be a hundred.

But she endured the humiliation in the end, because there was still hope in her heart, and that hope was the Lu Sixuan she saw dressed as Ronglu! Since Lu Sixuan has crossed, then Xiao Yungui must have also crossed, and she still wants to zaijian him!

Sometimes in a trance, Xingzhen will fantasize that the pock-faced man pressing on her body is Xiao Yungui, and when her body is happy, she will even keep shouting this Xiao Yungui's name in her heart!

"Master, today our Chuxiu Palace can be regarded as raising eyebrows, those dog miscellaneous pieces who looked down on people before came to ask for peace one by one, it is really happy." An Dehai said with a fluttering eyebrow.

Qi Dan reprimanded: "Xiao Anzi, in front of the master, keep your mouth clean!" ”

Xingzhen elegantly took out a piece of silk and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Go on, I love to listen." ”

An Dehai was taken aback, only said that Xingzhen said the opposite, and he didn't dare to say it anymore at the moment, but said: "Master, you have been wronged, it is the minions that are not good, so that the master has been wronged for so long." ”

Xingzhen smiled and said, "This time, thanks to Aunt Kang and you, this palace can have a bright future." Xiao Anzi, you can do things with peace of mind, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. ”

An Dehai only felt that his bones were crispy, and hurriedly said: "The master is blessed with a great life, and naturally he will turn evil into good fortune, and the minions are just doing their own errands." ”

Xingzhen snorted and asked, "Xiao Anzi, let me ask you, what news does Prince Gong have these days?" ”

An Dehai was stunned for a moment, his heart was very strange, the master had never mentioned Prince Gong in the past, and he didn't expect to talk about it today, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, Prince Gong rarely enters the palace these days, but he enters the palace early and leaves the palace when he disperses, but he is the first idle prince in the court." ”

Xingzhen leaned against the soft collapse and asked, "Didn't the emperor assign him any errands?" ”

An Dehai shook his head and said, "This minion doesn't know, I haven't inquired. ”

Xingzhen hummed and said, "From tomorrow, you can inquire about the news of Prince Gong, oh, by the way, there is also news of Sushun." Spend some more money, but don't show your feet, you know? ”

An Dehai responded, wondering in his heart that the master used to let him inquire about the news in the palace, but now why did he change Prince Gong and Su Shun? asked in a low voice: "Master, this side of the palace"

Xingzhen said lightly: "You don't have to worry about the palace, Aunt Kang will inquire about the news." You bother to inquire about the news of King Gong and Su Shun, and this palace only needs to know their situation. ”

Qi Dan and An Dehai glanced at each other, a little unclear, but Xingzhen knew very well in her heart how much influence this King Gong and Su Shun would have on her upper position, and Xingzhen knew that the characters she was fighting against were not these ignorant women and children in the palace, but a few men outside the palace!

Xingzhen slowly closed her phoenix eyes. He also said: "But in the future, if you hear anything going on in the palace, you can come back and tell the palace, but you don't have to deliberately inquire." Although the palace has now regained its holy grace, you slaves must not be arrogant, take care of your own people, and put away your tails and be people for the palace! Got it? An Dehai was startled, nodded hurriedly, and Qi Dan also responded.

Xingzhen looked at the two of them and said, "The emperor will definitely come over tonight, Qi Dan will prepare some things, and the palace will get snacks for the emperor to make supper." Qi Dan and An Dehai hurriedly prepared to go.

But it was said that Xianfeng was in the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he looked at the music absent-mindedly in his heart. It's still the troublesome things of the long-haired rebellion, and the Hunan side is still doing a tug-of-war, and the two sides have won and lost each other, but the news that Rong Lu and the Hunan army Zeng Guofan have recovered Hengyang made Xianfeng excited for a while, but unfortunately there was no victory after that.

I came across a notebook. It is said that the co-organizer of the university, Shi Du Shoutian, was infected with a summer epidemic on the way to relief and died of illness in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an. He was sixty-eight years old. Xianfeng looked at it for a while and couldn't accept it. I only felt that I had seen it wrong, and I watched it carefully a few times, and I couldn't help but feel sad, crying bitterly at the desk, like mourning. Threw the full case to the ground.

Xianfeng held up the fold and asked Peng Yili angrily: "Don't you tell me about Master Du's death in the morning?" ”

Peng Youyi hurriedly knelt down. said: "Your Majesty, I haven't been to the morning court these days, and I haven't seen all the ministers, so all the adults have to hand the folds in." The minions didn't know what was in the excerpt and didn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Xianfeng knew that he really hadn't taken care of the government in the past few days, but thinking that Du Shoutian was his teacher, who helped him a lot to succeed to the throne, and it could be said that he relied on him as his right-hand man, but he went like this, his heart was sad, and he cried again, and the anxious Peng Youyi didn't know how to persuade him.

An Dehai came to the side of the Heart Cultivation Hall as usual, waiting for the little eunuch of the Heart Cultivation Hall to come out of shift, and pulled over Xiao Dezi, who often gave him news, and asked, "The emperor has turned over the sign tonight?" ”

Xiao Dezi looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one, and only said: "I heard the emperor crying inside, it seems that Master Du is gone, and I don't know where I will go tonight." ”

An Dehai snorted, picked up some loose silver and stuffed it, touched his chin and walked back, and said to himself: "Master Du is gone?" Master Du is gone? Then he patted himself on the head and said, "This is a big deal, report back to the master." ”

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Xianfeng cried bitterly, and Du Shoutian had a very deep relationship for him. In order for Xianfeng to ascend to the throne of God, he ran around and taught in many ways, in Xianfeng's heart, he was actually half of his father, and he cared about him far more than Emperor Daoguang.

However, after Xianfeng inherited the throne, Du Shoutian did not enjoy a day of Qing blessings, and he still ran around for the Qing Empire of Xianfeng. This time Jianghuai and other places were seriously affected, in order to relieve the disaster, Xianfeng had to send him, Du Shoutian went, but died in office, like Lin Zexu, the ministers he relied on left him one by one. This time it was Du Shoutian, his teacher, Xianfeng felt powerless and scared, a huge burden weighed him down, and he really wanted to leave.

Xianfeng cried for a while, raised his head and shouted angrily: "Peng is beneficial! You dog minion, bring me wine. ”

Peng Youyi's face twitched, and he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the wine and bring it up.

Xianfeng snatched the wine jug, reached a full glass of wine, raised it high, and said, "Master Du, I respect you." With that, he spilled the wine on the ground, and then lifted the flask and took a big sip.

Then he came to another cup and said, "Lord Du, I respect you." He spilled the wine again, and then took another big sip.

Zuihou arrived at another cup and said with a smile: "Old man Du, I respect you." He spilled the wine, and then he raised the jug, raised his head and drank it without stopping, and after a while, he drank the jug of wine in one gulp. Old man Du was nicknamed Du Shoutian by Xianfeng in private, and he felt that this title was very kind.

After drinking a pot of wine, Xianfeng was slightly drunk and said, "Bring the wine again." ”

Peng Youyi knew Xianfeng's temper very well, and persuading him at this time was tantamount to seeking his own death, and he didn't dare to persuade him, so he put another pot on it. This time, Xianfeng took it, muttering something while drinking wine, and there was no pause. After a while, I finished drinking again.

Peng Youyi knows the amount of wine in Xianfeng, this wine is from Moutai in Guizhou, the degree is extremely high, only drink two pots, Xianfeng must be drunk, and secretly think that his old life is going to die here tonight? I don't know how Xianfeng will abuse the people in the palace when he is drunk.

Xianfeng shook the wine jug, and when he saw that no wine was flowing out, he burped with drunken eyes and said, "Peng Youyi, bring the wine again." ”

Peng Yiyi knew that this was an opportunity to slip away, so he ran out to get the wine in person. Sure enough, when Peng Youyi came back with the wine, he only heard someone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, someone couldn't stop screaming this, his face twitched, and he secretly thought that he didn't know that the unlucky guy was suffering, and when he looked inside, he saw that it was Xiao Dazi of the Heart Cultivation Hall who was being kicked by Xianfeng.

Peng Youyi was worried in his heart, and he didn't know whether to go in or not, and suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice behind him say, "Grandpa Peng, what are you looking at here?" (To be continued......)
