The big incense burner of Doucai amphora rises with curling agarwood, and the Zhongcui palace sits in the harem powder, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fat powder and agarwood, and the gorgeous flag head is jeweled. The concubines talked and laughed with each other. The queen is still to come. Apricot enamel inlaid lapis lazuli filigree armor shines with ruby, holding a hibiscus group of pastel porcelain teacup, the steaming heat rises above the teacup, and exudes the quaint tea fragrance of high-quality fragrant tea. Xingzhen took a sip of hot tea, and felt that the tea fragrance was overflowing, bitter but not lacking sweet, sweet but not greasy, hanging her long eyelashes, looking at the cyan tea surface, and said in her heart: "It is worthy of the tea of Zhongcui Palace, it is really a high-quality tea." ”

Suddenly, I only heard a tone of yin and yang and said in a strange manner: "Sister Yi Concubine is really interested, and she is still in the mood to eat tea." ”

Although she called "sister" coquettishly, the strange sarcasm in her tone was really uncomfortable to listen to the hairs together. This strange voice is obviously a fault finding fault when you hear it. Xingzhen frowned at Liu Ye, gently put down the teacup, and said slowly: "But the concubine can't live up to the kindness of the mother to back up the tea." ”

When Ah Mei heard this, she first pretended to laugh a few times, and when she saw that Xingzhen ignored her, she felt embarrassed, coughed a few times, and suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Sister Yi Concubine has heard about Yi Guiren's downmotion and Yi Chang's presence?" ”

"It's nature."

"Sister Yi Concubine, it's strange to say, why didn't you see Yi Guiren this morning? You say, could it be that you're not feeling well? ”

Xingzhen listened, glanced around the room, and really didn't see Yi Chang there. Suddenly, Ah Mei's body seemed to be twisted unintentionally, the waist of the water snake was particularly attractive, and the double silk roses tied around her waist shone with the brilliance of high-quality jade. When Xingzhen saw it, a glimmer of light flashed in her clear Danfeng's eyes, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth. Ah Mei twisted her body as if she had no intention of it, or twisted it for a moment when Xingzhen's eyes moved here, the purpose was to let her see her proud waist and the rose pendant rewarded by the saint, which could be regarded as a "dismount". Mei Guiren smiled gloomily in his heart. Xingzhen twisted her ivory carved flower beast silver bracelet and said, "Sister noble, this rose is really beautiful, it is a holy reward, right?" One copy of the only sister of the six palaces in the east and west! ”

"Ah, Sister Yi Concubine praised it, praised it! After all, it is a divine reward. ”

"It seems that the nobles serve the saints with pleasure, and the rough recommendation of the palace is good, so the nobles are glorious, and the emperor is also happy."

Ah Mei's location is next to Xingzhen. Xingzhen's voice suddenly lowered when she said this, and it was a volume that could only be heard by two people. As soon as the words fell, Ah Mei's little face turned pale for a moment, she never thought that Xingzhen would recommend her. The two of them paused, Ah Mei was about to speak, Xingzhen said first: "Well, then again, the fragrance of Mei Guiren is really pleasant, and this palace feels really relaxed and happy when I smell it." ”

When Ah Mei heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Does Sister Yi like this fragrance?" If my sister likes it, Ah Mei will give it to my sister. ”

Yi Concubine, now, you have thrown yourself into the net!

"Noble Mei is really generous, then thank you very much."

"Hey, Sister Yi Concubine is polite! We are all sisters, serving the Son of Heaven together. As she spoke, Ah Mei took out a sachet containing musk, handed it to Concubine Yi, and said, "Sister." ”

Fortunately, in order to avoid any accidents, when I came to the six palaces in the east and west except for Jingyang Palace, I had musk on my body. Sure enough, a big fish was caught in the net!

"Noble rose."

”？ What does Sister Yi command? “

Xingzhen's eyes suddenly became cold, she only stared at Ah Mei, and said with a smile: "This palace doesn't like to call this palace 'sister'." “

Ah Mei suddenly felt a creepy feeling, as if the cold hairs on her whole body stood up. This concubine is hot for a while, cold for a while, and the palace is really unpredictable! Ah Mei was stared at by the cold gaze, helpless to divide the underground, not like Yi Chang had a seizure. Ah Mei trembled: "Yes." ”

With an amiable smile, Xingzhen took the sachet with both hands, looked left and right, looked very happy, and said kindly: "Thank you, noble lady." Look at this stitch is fine, the pattern is even more graceful, is it embroidered by nobles? This sachet is so exquisite! ”

The front was cold and cold, but now it is as warm as a spring breeze, and Xingzhen is now subdued properly. Ah Mei was flattered and said: "Sister Yi has won the award, and the concubine is worried that she will not be able to get into her sister's eyes." “

"The noble man is modest, and the noble man's embroidery is good. Such a beautiful sachet should be worn by the main palace. “

Ah Mei was startled, her smile was already a little uncontrollable, and she was about to say some more flattering and modest words left and right, when suddenly, she only heard a pleasant voice like a silver bell and said: "This spice really smells good, can Sister Yi give it to her concubine?" “

At first glance, it turned out to be what Ah Sujie said. Xingzhen smiled: "This is the sachet of the Mei nobleman." Mei Guiren, do you still have such a good-smelling sachet on your body? “

Ah Sujie was about to say, and Ah Mei preemptively said: "Naturally, there is!" Wan Concubine....... Here. With that, Ah Mei immediately stuffed the sachet into Wan Concubine's hand.

Concubine...... Wan Concubine, although I thank you for being a "partner", but ah, you must know that the sisterhood in the harem is made of paper, and it will be broken if you stab it.

Ah Sujie looked at the sachet in her hand, and suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xingzhen's smile at her.

！

Oh, I see...... Oh, okay, got it.

Ah Sujie smiled at Ah Mei and said, "Then thank you to Mei Guiren." “

Xingzhen sniffed at Ah Mei's body, and said with a smile: "Presumably, the emperor likes the pleasant scent of nobles very much. “

Ah Mei smiled and was about to say a few more humble words, when suddenly, only one voice said: "The queen mother is ------."

The women hurriedly got up from their seats, stroked their temples, and said, "The concubine greets the queen." “

The queen sat down on the phoenix throne and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't give you a seat." “

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

This time, Zhu Chang was the first to speak: "Sisters, then again, what about this Yi Chang? Why didn't you see her today? “

The queen said: "Oh, my sister asked Yi Changzai, Yi Changzai had bad intentions and wanted to murder the emperor's heir, but now she has been demoted from a noble person and banned from the Chengqian Palace." “

Murder of the emperor's heir?

Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of the women were different, some were happy, some were surprised, and some were stunned...... After all, the imperial heir is so important, if it is said that it is a plot to kill the imperial heir, then think about it, it must be that something happened in Yonghe Palace, because at present, only Concubine Li is pregnant in the six palaces of the east and west. Ah Mei looked at Ah Suji, and at this time, Ah Suji's face was shocked and confused.

What's going on?

The main palace hasn't done it yet!

Ah Sujie took a sip of fragrant tea and took a deep breath, she knew that Yi Chang would not be so simple in demotion and grounding.

Ah Mei looked at Ah Suji, looked at it for a long time, looked at it, and stared at it. Ah Mei said in her heart: "Looking at Wan Concubine like that, it doesn't look like it's pretending, could it be that it's not Wan Concubine's hand...... That's it.,Anyway, the main palace is almost like this.,So who did it.,Or doesn't it matter...... But if something happens to this Yonghe Palace, it is estimated that the reaction of this Heart Cultivation Palace and Shouchang Palace must be not small...... Hey, damn it, why can't you let go of Shouchang Palace? Oh, by the way, presumably, Zhong Cui Palace will also have a move. “

Something happened to Yonghe Palace?

Xingzhen's face was gloomy. If you really did it, Ah Zhi Xuanhu...... This palace is going to do it yourself, take you and ask! But...... Pipa said that Zhong Cui Palace came to report, and Pipa could not deceive me, so, what is this...... Zhong Cui Palace can't get rid of the relationship!

I thought I needed to calm down. Xingzhen rubbed the big yang acupoint and took a sip of the refreshing fragrant tea, and the fragrance of tea lingered. Ah Mei saw this opportunity and said in a sneering tone: "Yo, it's time for the emperor's heir to be killed, and Concubine Yi still has the heart to eat tea?" I didn't expect Concubine Yi to be so cold-blooded! “

Xingzhen smiled slightly and said, "The name of this tea is Lu'an tea." The concubine hoped that, as the name suggests, things can be safe and sound. “

Ah Mei was angry, and suddenly had nothing to say, but she was still unwilling to say, but Concubine Wan said first: "Noble Mei, Concubine Yi is a concubine, and the tone of your nobleman's speech to the concubine is a little wrong." “

Because of the gap in position, Ah Mei had no choice but to say: "Yes, the concubine knows her mistake." “

Ji Wu said: "Last night, Yi Chang was found to have released a Lingling incense that injured the fetus in the Yonghe Palace, and now the evidence is confirmed, and now he has been grounded and demoted. This palace is going to tell you sisters today that if someone in the harem intends to murder the emperor's heir, this is the end! “

Xingzhen raised her eyebrows, her eyes were shocked. Could it be that the Lingling incense in Yonghe Palace is Yi Chang's place? Wrong! Hasn't the tonka been replaced with a bird'shead incense that is safe for the fetus? It was specially told that Xiao Huan would use this bird's head incense to burn incense in the future. I went to see it yesterday. Wait, the queen said last night, but she went back to Shouchang Palace last night, can you say...... Yi Changzai was the hand when he returned to the palace last night?

Wait, no, Zhong Cui Palace came to report and place Lingling incense...... The bird's head incense has already been used, if the Lingling incense was really put last night, then it means that someone reported the Lingling incense as soon as it was replaced, however, when the palace found the Lingling incense, the incense should have been burned for a while. If it was really Ah Zhi Xuanhu's doing, then why was it discovered so quickly this time...... Who is the person making the report? Romantic? Little raccoon? Still is......

Xingzhen looked at the man. The rubellite inlaid on the phoenix is as dazzling as a drop of blood.

If it is really this person, then, even if she reported it, the possibility of Ah Zhihu being wronged will increase.

Ji Wu said: "By the way, there is one more matter, this palace wants to announce it." In a few days it will be the Qingming Festival, and the emperor is going to let the sisters go to the Old Summer Palace to spend the Qingming Festival. Okay, it's not too early, so let's disperse first. “

The women saluted and said, "Yes." “

Outside Zhong Cui Palace, Pipa was waiting with an oil-paper umbrella. Seeing the figure of the pipa, Xingzhen smiled at Ah Suzhen and said, "Thank you so much." “

"No thanks. This can be regarded as a favor for Rong Changzai. “

"Huh?"

"It's the birthday party."

"Oh, the concubine is thinking, in that case, does the concubine also have to return the concubine for Rong Changzai?"

"The concubine really has something she wants to ask Concubine Yi to help with."

"Concubine, please."

Ah Sujie was a little surprised that Xingzhen would really let her talk so generously, but when she thought of it, it was still a little difficult, and when she was hesitating, seeing that Xingzhen was so generous, she smiled slightly, and whispered it in Xingzhen's ear.

Xingzhen was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Ah Sujie with shock. Ah Sujie smiled slightly, you know, this is a very serious matter, thinking that Yi Concubine should not agree, but what she didn't expect was that Yi Concubine replied generously: "Okay, no problem, this matter is on me." “

I really didn't expect that there would be such a warm sunshine in the cold harem.

"Yi Concubine, thank you."

Yonghe Palace.

Yi looked at each dish on the table with annoyance, turned his head, frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiao Huan to take it down.

"Little master, you are raising a dragon fetus now, how can you do it without eating." Xiao Huan knew that the little master was now raising a dragon fetus, so he naturally had a bad appetite, but he also knew the seriousness of the consequences, so he persuaded bitterly.

Xiao Huan saw that there was a figure in Yonghe Gate coming over, and said happily: "Little Lord Yi, you can come!" Please help persuade my little master to eat. ”

Xingzhen looked at Yi with concern and smiled at Xiao Huan, "I know." Xiao Huan, Pipa, you guys go out first. ”

"Yes."

Xingzhen gently closed the door curtain, sat next to Yi, and said solemnly and quietly: "I heard that Yi Chang is planning to murder the emperor's heir?" ”

Yi rubbed her temples uncomfortably, and the hard work of the first child made her body really unbearable. Xingzhen heard from the mothers in charge of childbirth in the palace that she was easy to be afraid of heat during pregnancy, so she gently shook the fan for Yi, and she felt much cooler and more comfortable in a moment: "Last night, after you left, Yi Changzai brought a gift to visit me. Subsequently, the queen also came. The three of us chatted for a while. At that time, there was a smell that was uncomfortable, but I didn't say it, and then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said it. At that time, the queen's face changed, but after a while, she said: "There is also a fragrance, and the palace smells uncomfortable." Is this incense burner? Dai Huan, change the incense and check it. I felt that the incense burner had been changed, but it was even more uncomfortable, and I said, 'The queen mother, the concubine feels that this incense burner has been changed, but it is even more uncomfortable. I remember that the queen's face became much gloomy at that time, and she said angrily to Yi Changzai: "This palace has always felt that there is a kind of incense that makes my head dizzy, and it seems that the smell is on you." Dai Huan, search! Yi Chang was too late to cry out at that time, so Dai Huan found a black powder on his body, and the queen said that this was Linglingxiang, which had the effect of hurting the fetus. That's how it happened. “

"Dai Huan's body?"

"Yes."

"Oh." It seems that the possibility of Yi Changzai being wronged has really increased.

"By the way, what about the incense in the incense burner last night?"

"Bird's head. Bird's head incense has the effect of stabilizing the fetus, no problem. “

It seems that the finch head is fine.

"By the way, what is the gift that Yi Chang brought you?"

"The gift that Yi Chang is bringing is contained in a box, and the queen said that this box is likely to be placed with Linglingxiang, so it was brought back to Zhongcui Palace."

"Oh, I see. So what is the incense burning in this censer now? “

"The incense given by the queen should be fine."

It's normal. After all, he helped get a "murderer" last night, and by this morning, no one would think that he was a bad person.

Xingzhen smiled: "I have a fragrance here, which is conducive to the safety of the fetus." Let Xiao Huan change it, okay? “

"Since it's my sister's incense, it's naturally good!"

"That's right. This time, I brought a bowl of oatmeal porridge and some prescriptions to increase appetite. I heard that when you are pregnant, eating porridge is good for increasing your appetite. You are now one person eating two supplements, and the nutrition must keep up. “

Yi smiled: "Your last words are a bit like when I was a child, and I had to remind me from time to time to keep up with nutrition. “

"So nutrition is very important, not too much, not too little, in moderation and appropriate."

The two were chatting happily and forgot to eat for a while. Xiao Huan outside the door suddenly came to report that she was often coming to visit Concubine Li. Yi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Let her in." “

Zhu Changzai was smiling all over his face, carrying a basket, greeting him, and saying, "The concubine asks for peace to the concubine of the lord." Please concubine. “

"Excuse me, sit down."

"Xie Lifei."

She often put the basket on the dining table, and the basket contained large three-green papayas shaped like cucumbers, each of which was large and plump, exuding a fresh fragrance. Zhu Changzai said: "I heard that papaya has the effect of beautifying the face and is the best quality of beauty, and the concubine specially sent papaya to the main concubine, wishing the charm of the mother to last forever." ”

When she heard the phrase "has the effect of beautifying her face", Yi smiled happily, after all, the woman in the harem and even the whole world doesn't love beauty? Yi smiled: "Then the palace will thank you for your kindness." ”

Xingzhen smiled and looked at the overly full papayas, and said with a smile: "Look at the slender body of the melon, it should be the famous species of papaya 'papaya male', Zhu Chang has a heart." ”

When he said the sentence "Zhu Chang has a heart", he deliberately accentuated his tone, and after a glance, Yi's face was full of smiles. sighed silently in his heart, forget it, anyway, in this mood, I don't expect to understand. Xingzhen and Yan Yue said gently: "Is there anything else to do here?" Fang Gong and Concubine Li are chatting happily! Do you want to join? ”

Isn't it abrupt that two people are chatting happily, but you suddenly join? So the meaning of this sentence is, to put it mildly, the meaning of please leave.

Fortunately, this person who can still use his brains is still there, and Cancan smiled: "Oh, by the way, the concubine still has something to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Always be there, please walk slowly."

Yi said to Xingzhen: "Is there a problem with this papaya?" ”

"Although papaya has the effect of beautifying the face, it is cold, and pregnant people should avoid eating papaya."

"Huh? That's right. Yi felt infinite regret and pointed to the papaya, "What about this papaya?" ”

"Well, since you can't eat it, why don't you give it to me?"

"After you said this, I began to doubt the truth of your last sentence."

"Bah, I'm joking, really! Romantic. But how good is this papaya, it's not good to waste it, it's better to ...... Why don't you leave it to me, and I'll take care of it...... Bah, blah, blah, blah, I'm not going to eat it, really! I'm really going to use it, really! Romantic? ”

"What's the matter? Don't tell me it's about eating. ”

"Of course not! But this is the right thing ......" Xingzhen looked at Yi, Yi held her belly, the first three months have passed, her pulse has stabilized, and her face at this time is still at a young age...... Xingzhen smiled with a little bitterness: "You believe me, it's really a serious matter." ”

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Xingzhen picked up a blue and white exquisite teacup filled with Lu'an tea, frowned, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

The emperor angrily picked up the paper roll, was furious, and fell fiercely towards the precious blue brick floor, scolding in his mouth, and the paper roll was scattered, but the emperor still had no anger. The eunuchs hid outside the hall in fear, they knew that if they went in at this time, they would only become the punching bag of the Long Live Lord. Although they are already punching bags.

Xingzhen didn't speak, and looked coldly at the paper rolls scattered all over the place, as well as the eunuchs hiding outside.

The emperor was obviously in a bad mood today, he was angry, and he kept scolding, and Xingzhen listened silently on the side.

"Dog minion!"

"Bastard thing!"

"Where are the crowds?"

Where did the crowd go. It's not like you're scared away.

Xingzhen held the tea and closed her long eyelashes. She knew that when the emperor ascended the throne, at this time, the country was not rich in the prosperous era of Kangqian, foreign devils made waves, the Taiping Heavenly Army rebelled in the country, and the national fortunes went downhill, and what the first emperor left him was a mess, not the prosperous era of Qianlong's luck. is a mess, such helplessness, coupled with the successive bad news of the current situation, naturally makes the emperor's temper more and more irritable. Half a monarch is like a tiger, the emperor has a bad temper, and the eunuchs around him are naturally not easy to do. It's not good to be angry with outsiders, so I have to be angry with the eunuchs. At this moment, the eunuchs were terrified, and lo and behold, they were now hiding far away from the palace.

Xingzhen listened silently. She knew that although the emperor was losing his temper now, the presence of her when he lost his temper showed that the emperor trusted and relied on her enough, which made her happy.

"Dog minion!"

"Bastard thing!"

"Where are the crowds?"

！

Xingzhen was shocked, the emperor was shocked, and the eunuchs outside the door were also shocked. Who is so bold as to dare to speak so wantonly in the Heart Cultivation Palace?

The emperor exclaimed: "Qiye, who is so bold?" How dare you say such a thing in the Heart Cultivation Palace! ”

A eunuch said, "It's that parrot!" ”

It turned out to be a parrot!

Everyone looked. The budgie in the birdcage hanging in the corner of the hall was scolding decently, and Xingzhen was shocked and uneasy at this time: "Isn't this the budgie for Xiao Liuzi?" Now that this parrot is talking wildly, the emperor is angry, what should I do if I am angry? ”

A eunuch pushed Xiao Liuzi's arm and whispered, "Hey! Xiao Liuzi, isn't this your parrot, do you say the emperor is happy or angry? ”

"Of course I hope the emperor is happy or angry......"

Xingzhen looked at the emperor's expression and said in her heart: "No matter what, the emperor must be happy, otherwise it will be over!" So, he smiled and said: "Hey, this parrot is really interesting, wearing a tiger skin, a fox and a fake tiger!" ”

"Hah!"

The emperor originally thought that he should maintain the majesty of heaven, but when he heard Xingzhen's words, it seemed to have lit a fuse, and the hidden smile finally couldn't be hidden, and bursts of clear laughter broke out in the Heart Cultivation Palace, which was nice and crisp.

The eunuchs were surprised to show their heads from behind the door, and a eunuch said: "Congratulations, Xiao Liuzi, this is a meritorious service!" Don't forget to have a drink. ”

The emperor felt that he had never smiled so happily. Pick up the teacup and happily drink it without etiquette. The eunuchs came in from outside the temple. The emperor said happily: "Little Liuzi, this is your budgie parrot, right?" I remember that when I saw you come back with a good-looking parrot, I asked you to hang this parrot in the Heart Cultivation Palace, thinking that it would relieve boredom, but this parrot created such an interesting surprise. If you want to reward, you must reward! ”

Xiao Liu Zi looked at Concubine Yi Niangniang, because this parrot was given to him by Concubine Yi, only to see Concubine Yi Niangniang standing behind the dragon throne, smiling blessedly at him. Xiao Liu Zi said a thousand times: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are brave, and there is something to report." ”

"Say."

"This parrot is for the concubine to reward the slave."

"Oh? It turned out to be a reward from Concubine Yi. The emperor looked at Xingzhen with a smile.

Xingzhen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, at that time, Xiao Liu Zi came to the palace of the concubine to help, and the concubine saw that he was clever, so she rewarded him with a budgie parrot, which was only useful when it came to Xiao Liuzi's hands." ”

"No, if it weren't for Concubine Yi Niangniang rewarding the slave, the slave wouldn't have used it to good use."

The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, then since this is the case, both of them will be rewarded, and Concubine Yi will also be rewarded." ”

Xingzhen and Xiao Liu Zi saluted and said: "The concubine (slave) thanks the lord Longen." ”

The emperor looked at Xingzhen with a friendly smile and said, "Okay, you guys should step back first, no one is allowed to come in without my will." ”

"Yes."

The emperor gently hugged Xingzhen, for fear of hurting her. Xingzhen hugged the emperor with her backhand, took advantage of the joy of Long Yan at this time, thought about it, and decided to say honestly: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to assist the saint, not only in the harem, but also in the previous dynasty." ”

"Oh? But the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, right? ”

"But if you are really a talented person, do you still need to divide men and women into genders?"

Before the emperor could speak, Xingzhen said eloquently: "Although it is said that our army has suffered repeated defeats in Hubei, Wuchang has fallen again, and even the Hunan army's water camp has suffered a heavy defeat a few weeks ago, and more than 100 warships have been burned. However, in the first month, the monk king re-fought the Taiping army again, broke the east even the town of Mucheng, the Taiping army risked the conflict to the death, the monk and the king were annihilated, and also captured the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Lin Fengxiang, therefore, the emperor crowned the monk king as the prince of Bodol Katai in this month, and rewarded a plate of pearls and a piece of dragon gown, which was a great morale boost. ”

"Although Wuchang fell here, Wuchang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, near the water, and our army has a red single boat, so it has more chances of winning than the Taiping Heavenly Army in terms of troops and weapons alone. Moreover, when attacking Wuchang before, our army was victorious once, and in the month of Layue the year before last, Zeng Shilang captured Tianjia Town and other important places. In terms of military strength, a single red ship can destroy thousands of enemies; In terms of talents, Zeng Shilang, Prince Bodol Gatai, and there are countless talent elites in my Qing Dynasty; In terms of people's hearts, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was originally a poison of living beings. ”

"Therefore, judging from the current situation, the defeat is only temporary, and the victory belongs to the Qing Dynasty after all."

"Since his accession to the throne, the saint has reused Hanchen, cracked down on corrupt officials, and rewarded him clearly, winning the hearts of the people. The Taiping Heavenly Army is like the budgie parrot, but it is just a fox and a fake tiger, and a clown jumping off the beam. As long as the Taiping Heavenly Army is destroyed, the foreign devils will first turn a blind eye to them and drag them down, so that the Taiping Heavenly Army will be destroyed, and the whole country will be united, and at that time, it will be convenient to fight against the foreign devils. ”

The scent of ambergris lingers. The emperor pondered. For a long time, the emperor's blazing eyes looked at Xingzhen, and at this time, the emperor was really impressed by Xingzhen. Xingzhen said: "The concubine has served the emperor in the imperial study for the past few days, and over time, she has also been exposed to it. The concubines were loyal to assist the saints, and the concubines dared to implore the emperor to transcribe the scroll on behalf of the saints. ”

"Lan'er."

"What does the emperor command?"

"Write a few words and see."

The emperor looked at Xingzhen's neat and beautiful fonts on the jade board paper, Xingzhen first wrote Chinese and then Manchu, and the emperor was a little surprised: "Do you know Chinese?" ”

Xingzhen couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Otherwise, where did you get it?" ”

The emperor took a fold, pointed to a few difficult and obscure words on it, and said, "What are these words?" ”

Xingzhen answered correctly one by one.

This made the emperor even more surprised. Xingzhen said: "Since I was a child, I have studied both Manchu and Chinese languages, the history of the Manchus, and the classics of the Han people...... I thought that learning these things is to serve the country loyally in the future. ”

That last sentence is both true and false. When Xingzhen was five years old, the first Opium War broke out, and she saw the horror and harm of the war with her own eyes, the air was a bad smell of gunsmoke, property and houses were all in the destruction of the war, and the cries of wives and wives were scattered everywhere...... So, she had decided that if she could, then she must prevent the outbreak of war.

Preventing the outbreak of war can be regarded as serving the country loyally.

Xingzhen silently comforted herself in her heart.

She didn't expect that she would learn to lie without a teacher.

The emperor smiled, with a gentle smile on his lips, the emperor smiled so beautifully, and it was so heart-wrenching. The emperor gently took Xingzhen's soft jade hand and said, "Come, let's try to help me write a review chapter first." ”

Xingzhen smiled slightly, and suddenly, with a "bang", a sachet tied to Xingzhen's waist seemed to fall off unintentionally, and the spices in the sachet suddenly spilled on the ground, and the ochre-colored spice powder that fell out of the sachet exuded a particularly strange fragrance.

The emperor's gaze rested on the ochre-colored spice powder.

This thing was so familiar to him......

This thing has been endowed with disaster, sharp weapons, and bloody ...... It has gradually become an everyday object in the deep palace.

The emperor tightly pulled Xingzhen's sleeve, his expression was serious but slightly frightened, and said coldly: "Who gave you this thing?" ”

"Huh?"

How did the emperor know that this thing would be given to her by someone else?

But......

That's fine.

"This thing is ......"

A cold smile rippled on Xingzhen's lips at this time.
