17. Three wins and three defeats (medium)
Also, the south is now so chaotic that it is estimated that around the time of the Chinese New Year, the Taiping army will attack Anhui, then conquer Anqing, and then enter Jiangsu, and then conquer Jiangning!
Xingzhen picked up the plum blossom jade dew tea sent by Tang Wufu, put it on the table, and lightly touched the lid of the tea bowl aimlessly, I don't know what happened to my father? As long as he can hold on to the city, even if there is anything else wrong, Emperor Xianfeng will not punish Hui Zheng in his own face, and it is a big deal to go home and erect himself in the palace, and he will not be wronged by his father. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xingzhen came back to her senses, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, "This matter, I still ask the imperial concubine and the emperor to decide, right?" The girls nodded, and Xingzhen instructed Tang Wufu again, "But hurry up and tell them, it doesn't hurt that others can be shorter, the annual rewards of the sisters in our six palaces are not less, and our emperor is just such a concubine, and there is no more annual reward, like what?" It's the Fujin women outside who came into the palace to say goodbye, and when they saw the shabby clothes of the sisters, they also laughed at us! ā
Li Guiren said with a smile: "What Concubine Lan said is very true, everyone is counting on the reward of that year's festival to send the people who serve in the palace!" ā
Xingzhen nodded and said: "This is natural, who can have anything else, always counting on the monthly and annual rewards every month, now it is more generous, if the emperor seals new sisters in the future, then our sisters will have to save some." ā
Concubine Zhen said: "It would be good if the south was pacified, at least this inner treasury would not be empty like a big flood, it was really empty, I took care of the treasure house, looked at the account books of the last few months, and the emperor has allocated too much to remember." ā
Xingzhen stood up, collected the account book, and pressed the corner of her mouth with a tied handkerchief, "This time I see that everyone is tired, let's disperse first, horizontal and vertical is more at the end of the year, sisters work hard for a while, after the New Year, after the Lantern Festival, we are also much free, I look at our Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it should also be done thriftily, but the emperor, the imperial concubine and our sisters all love to watch the play, this play is indispensable, other let's discuss it tomorrow, the deletion of the deletion, the six palaces can save some money to come out, the emperor is also happy, I think we know the general situation, Take care of national affairs, hey, but this is also a small amount of money, and it can't help the emperor with any big things. ā
"Haha, Concubine Lan is so sensible, she has already done me a great favor!" A clear male voice sounded from outside the door of the Slow Blessing Hall, and the curtain was lifted, revealing half of his pale face, who is it not Emperor Xianfeng?
The eunuchs and palace maids in the Slow Blessing Hall knelt on the ground, and the concubines bent their knees and blessed themselves.
"The concubines ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace."
"Let's all get up," Emperor Xianfeng walked quickly to the side of Xingzhen, and just wanted to help Concubine Lan get up, when he saw the beautiful nobleman Qiushui on the side looking at him with eyes, and then skimmed to the concubine Niu Hulu and saluted with low eyebrows, his face was full of already knowing this scene, so he took his hand in a sneer.
Xingzhen smiled generously, just as if she didn't know, and didn't think she was angry, she stood up crisply, looked around at the concubines, and then said with a smile: "Where are the concubines sensible, the sisters are considerate, the emperor, the concubine sister also goes to the treasure house every day to go around, for fear that someone will fill their pockets and take the emperor's private room!" ā
Emperor Xianfeng turned around and looked at the concubine approvingly, the concubine's face was slightly red, and Emperor Xianfeng said, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine." The concubine saluted again, and said gently: "The concubine is useless, you can't study the sister of Concubine Lan to help the emperor share political affairs," Emperor Xianfeng's face stiffened for a moment, and then smiled casually, "Only these subsections help the emperor one or two, so that the emperor will not worry about this ** thing, even if the concubine is busy, he is willing." ā
"What you say is very true," Emperor Xianfeng looked around at the nephrite jade in the room, "It's very good that you have this heart, and I am very relieved, and the days to come will be long, with your help and me." The emperor looked at Xingzhen, and Xingzhen smiled generously and decently, as if he didn't see Emperor Xianfeng's eyes, "The days ahead will be more and more moisturized!" ā
"What the emperor said is extremely true!" Li Guiren hurriedly interjected and said, "Concubine, she was originally extremely stupid, but she learned to deal with some affairs with her sisters in Chuxiu Palace, but nothing went wrong, and Sister Lan Concubine also praised the concubine for learning quickly." ā
"My sister is smart and smart, so what's not to do."
The concubines laughed a few words, Emperor Xianfeng waved his hand, and sat down at the top of the long table, "You kneel down first, I will talk to Concubine Lan, by the way, noble Li, I will come to your Yonghe Palace tonight to eat, so that I can wait for me." The subtext of the dinner is to rest in Yonghe Palace tonight, Li Guiren responded with joy, looked at Xingzhen's face carelessly, and saw that Xingzhen's expression was nothing unusual, and she was still standing next to the emperor with a smile, so she and the concubines gave a salute and retired together.
Xingzhen waved her hand, signaling Tang Wufu to pour the tea up, Anqian and Fan'er cleaned up the messy booklet on the table, Xingzhen stood next to Emperor Xianfeng, to say that Tang Wufu's speed was really fast, almost less than a minute, he took a mahogany tray and sent up the crimson bowl, Xingzhen picked up the bowl, and it was slightly hot in her hand, it can be seen that the temperature of the tea is very well controlled, Xingzhen looked at Tang Wufu approvingly and nodded, Tang Wufu was like eating the fruit of life, laughing more and more unable to see his eyes, and went out with his head down. Xingzhen dedicated the bowl to Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Xianfeng took the bowl, took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, sighed, looked up at Xingzhen, stretched out his hand to pull Xingzhen, let her sit on the chair, looked at Xingzhen and said gently: "I didn't help you just now, you won't blame me, right?" ā
Xingzhen is still a little uncomfortable with the emperor's affection, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, where is the concubine such a small woman, the emperor is good to the concubine, and the concubine knows in her heart that it is better to treat everyone equally." Seeing that Emperor Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction, Xingzhen asked again: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the traitors in the south?" What do you think? What's wrong with the south? ā
Emperor Xianfeng touched Xingzhen's hands, and felt that the silver carved orchid inlaid turquoise armor in her hand was a little awkward, so he put Xingzhen's hand down, and sighed again, "Naturally, it is the matter of those traitors, a few days ago, the thieves could not attack Huangzhou, and turned their heads to overcome Huanggang, in recent days, the governor of Jiangxi came to report, saying that the thieves had gone out of Huanggang, going straight downstream, and were about to go to Jiujiang, and the governor of Jiangxi," Emperor Xianfeng's face flashed with anger, "said that Jiujiang was empty, and the green camp in the province was useless, shouted that I sent troops to help Jiujiang defend the city, where did I come from and have soldiers! ā
sent a fire, and looked at Xingzhen with a little grateful eyes, "Fortunately, the plan you offered last time to attack the pontoon bridge made the sailors of the traitors burn half of Tai, otherwise if their sailors were still there, plus the hundreds of thousands of people who were involved in the three towns of Wuhan, they would have been smooth sailing and conquering Anqing in one go, where would they be slow, this time it has not yet reached Jiujiang." ā
