Xingzhen ran a few laps of the horse, was sweating, the little eunuch on the side told that Wenfeng had arrived, Xingzhen slowly rode to the small pavilion on the edge of the racecourse for rest, outside the pavilion stood a middle-aged official wearing a crane uniform, saw the queen riding over, and quickly knelt down to say goodbye, Xingzhen nodded, grabbed the reins of the horse with her left hand, and signaled Wenfeng to get up with her right hand, Xingzhen turned over and dismounted. Looking at Wen Fenglai, Wen Feng is a native of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, at the beginning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, successively served as Hangzhou Weaving, Suzhou Weaving, Guangdong Customs Supervision, Daoguang 23 years, together with the Governor of Guangzhou, Qi Ying and the British negotiated the "Five Ports Trade Charter" 15 articles. Zeng served as the deputy superintendent of Chongwenmen, acting in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Pharmacy and the Tai Hospital. Xianfeng was ten years old, and was ordered to take care of all matters in the Old Summer Palace.

Xingzhen walked to the pavilion, wiped her hands with a towel, saw Wen Feng bowed his head and was silent, threw the handkerchief in the silver basin in Xiao Xiazi's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Wen doesn't have to be formal, although this palace and you are the first time to meet, in the end they are both people in this garden, this palace lives here, and you are also here on an errand, Lord Wen," Wen Feng bowed his head and responded, "I heard that you have done weaving in Suzhou and Hangzhou?" Have you ever been to Guangzhou? ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, it is exactly, the slave once served as Hangzhou Weaving, Suzhou Weaving, and later served as the supervisor of Guangdong Customs." Wen Feng replied.

"That's also the world has seen everything," Xingzhen nodded, "In your opinion, this garden," Xingzhen pointed to the lush Zibi Mountain House not far away, "How does it compare with the private mansions in Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as the gardens of those big merchants in the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou?" ”

"A little firefly light, a smile and a generous house, how can those small gardens compare to the Old Summer Palace." Wen Feng replied.

"Not bad! Eighteen fence gates follow the winding stream, and the main hall of the seven wings leans on Qiao Song. Xuantang forty are all by the water, and the mountains and rocks are uneven. Xingzhen casually chanted four lines of poetry, "According to the palace, the Old Summer Palace can be called the garden of ten thousand gardens!" The Vatican and Fontainebleau boasted by foreigners are not as good as the Haiyan Hall in Changchun Garden, let alone the Old Summer Palace. ”

"Yes, the queen has seen very much." Wen Feng was confused. I don't know what the queen wants to say after saying such a bunch, but she can only say yes.

Xingzhen understood Wen Feng's ignorance, and smiled indifferently, "This palace suddenly had a dream yesterday. Dreaming that this Old Summer Palace was burned to rubble, can Master Wen interpret the dream? ”

"The slave won't, but the slave is the minister in charge of the Old Summer Palace, and his duty is to definitely not watch the Old Summer Palace burned to rubble. If it really comes to that point, the slave will never live alone. ”

Xingzhen looked at Wen Feng with a complicated expression and nodded. "You are a faithful one, well, there is something for you to do here in this palace, and you can do it when you see what can be done; If you can't do it, that's it. ”

"Please show the queen." Wenfeng said.

"Pa Xiali and the others are waiting to be escorted into the garden?"

"Yes, the minions heard that the center meant to punish the foreigners severely, so they were ready to put these foreigners in the water prison. Tortured day and night. ”

"No," Xingzhen hurriedly spoke, "These foreigners are not in the army, but envoys of a country, Su Wu went to Mobei, but he has also been shepherding sheep for ten years, we are in the Heavenly Empire, how can we not even compare with barbarians?" ”

The eldest brother not far away was riding a horse under the traction of Yun Concubine and shouting, and a group of little eunuchs were surrounded by him, and De Ling was waiting on the side of Xingzhen. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was asleep, "This is what this palace wants you to do," Xingzhen took a sip of tea. "Lord Wen, the emperor has made a decree to arrest Pa Xiali and others, this is Tianwei, of course you have to obey the order, but since the emperor has not issued an order, he will be severely punished," Wen Feng glanced up at the queen. "Naturally, Lord Wen can't be tortured, do you understand what this palace means?"

"Yes," Wen Feng nodded in response, and then asked another question, "Su Shun is the Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, if he comes to suppress the minions, "I can't stop it."

"Lord Su Shun is a powerful minister in front of the emperor, and he doesn't care about the small things of these foreigners," Xingzhen smiled, Prince Gong really has a tacit understanding with himself, and this little thing is just right, he just wanted to let Su Shun leave Pa Xia Li alone, Prince Gong took out a big bone and threw it to Su Shun, "You just have to do it, don't neglect the foreigners, basic food and clothing must be guaranteed, especially not to kill people, if there is any cold, the imperial doctor also has to be invited." ”

"Yes." Although Wenfeng felt that it was very difficult, he still responded in the end.

"You don't have to worry about others coming to find you," Xingzhen said, "This palace teaches you a Qiao Zong'er, the emperor has been in power for ten years, and this year is the thirtieth birthday, in this garden, naturally you can't see blood, you have to think about the emperor's benevolence, understand?" Who would dare to refute such an excuse.

"Yes, the minions will do it, lest those Sulas don't get the mother's will, and they don't know the severity." Wenfeng said.

"Go ahead, but in the end, you can't make the foreigners comfortable, you must know that after all, they are prisoners of the ranks," Xingzhen continued to come up with ideas, "Find a few people to take turns to ask about the situation in their country, no matter how big or small, they have to ask about it." ”

"Wow!"

After Wen Feng left, De Ling's half-closed eyes opened, "The slave was not very afraid of anyone when he looked at the mother in the past, and if he said something taboo, the queen mother was not afraid of the emperor, why, for the sake of a few foreigners, he was so excited to protect these people." ”

"Deling, how do you know what I mean in my heart," Xingzhen shook her head, "Although these people are not direct soldiers, but if these people say a little nice things about China, presumably the situation can't be so embarrassing now-it's just that, it is China's weak national strength that attracts the wolves to surround it," Xingzhen stood up and instructed Tang Wufu and the others to bring the eldest brother to the palace of Concubine Zhen to be settled, and said to Deling, "According to what this palace thinks in my heart, I can't wait to break these clowns into pieces!" Xingzhen's tone was Lingran, and Tang Wufu at the bottom hurriedly retreated, "But now that the situation is critical, if you catch it, you can arrest it, you can't let the foreigners go crazy anymore, do you understand, Deling, under the pretext of this kind of thing, it's better to have less or less." ”

Xingzhen was about to walk back to Bitong Academy, "The children of Jiangnan are talented, and their comeback is unknown." Now I'll endure it for a while, keep these foreign devils, and settle accounts in the future! ”

Deling listened to Xingzhen's words, and didn't speak, but followed behind him without a word, "By the way, is Wu Yundi back?" ”

"I just came back the last time, and at that time Niangniang was in the Qinzheng Palace, and after saying a word to the slave, she hurried out of the garden." (To be continued.) )
