26. The Beginning of One Yuan (End)
Hearing Chen Shengwen's proclamation, Emperor Tongzhi was silent for a long time, his thoughts were in chaos, the palace of nourishing the heart at night was dark, the emperor lived in the Xinuan Pavilion, just lit a few dead wind lamps, the face of the Tongzhi Emperor was cloudy, Chen Shengwen stood on the side and didn't dare to speak, raised his head slightly and saw the green tendons on the emperor's neck, so he didn't dare to speak, the emperor's voice remembered, there was no emotion, plain, and the tone was gloomy, "Is it sent to Prince Gong's house?" ”
"Yes," Chen Shengwen replied, "If you can't inquire about anything else, you will know that it is the property of Prince Gong's family." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The emperor thought it was incredible at first, even if the queen mother was dissatisfied with this little palace maid, it was impossible to say that she would be sent to Prince Gong's mansion, but at this time, the emperor's anger had been successfully instigated, and then I thought that a few days ago, Prince Gong also said righteously and righteously to look like a Taoist gentleman to cultivate his own self-cultivation and guard against arrogance and rashness, "This time I came to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace!" ”
Since Zhang Wenliang, who was attached to Su Shun, was demoted to Dingling to guard the tomb, Chen Shengwen has always been cautious, waiting fearfully in front of the palace, not to say anything else, from time to time the queen mother asked herself to ask the emperor's daily life, she had to pinch a handful of sweat, how to hide this matter, the emperor asked him to check, he didn't dare not check, but he found out, but Chen Shengwen didn't dare not speak, "Long live the Lord must be just a coincidence, Gui Lian'er went outside, and it seems that she doesn't want to marry someone's family, but she lives in it and doesn't want to come out." , Long live Lord, do you want to call Father-in-law Deling to ask? These things must be known to Father-in-law Deling. ”
"No need to ask, that old ghost, I can't even invite him, just said a few words to send me away, hmph, he is very loyal, and he is afraid that I will embarrass him, so he said this," Emperor Tongzhi looked very calm, but his hands were shaking all the time, "Chen Shengwen, you say, is the emperor's mother good to me." ”
"Long live the Queen Mother, your son, why is it not good?" Chen Shengwen hurriedly said, "In the daily affairs of these years, although Zhong Cui Palace Niangniang takes care of Long Live Lord, isn't the Queen Mother busy." ”
"Yes, it's busy," Emperor Tongzhi said slowly, "I'm busy with all these idle things, it can be seen that I'm busy." ”
"Long live the lord," Chen Shengwen didn't dare to persuade hard, if these immortals fight, if he mixes up, he is afraid that he will die with broken bones and no place to bury, "The slave doesn't dare to say anything, he just wants the long live master to think twice about what he does." ”
"I know that you are for my own good," Emperor Tongzhi closed his eyes, "I know in my heart, E-Niang has a sentence that is very right," Emperor Tongzhi didn't say what that sentence was, "If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't have the right to speak in the future, you will let Master Li come over, and I will ask him something." ”
"Huh."
On the first day of the ninth year of Tongzhi, the emperor of the imperial Qianqing Palace, the ministers knelt three times and knocked nine times, congratulated the Tongzhi Emperor on the longevity festival, after the banquet, the emperor personally came to Chuxiu Palace to ask for peace, this will be the queen mother is taking out all the congratulatory watches of the ministers to An Dehai, the Empress Dowager Ci'an is also there, the Tongzhi Emperor glanced at An Dehai coldly, solemnly to the Empress Dowager Cixi a thousand, the Empress Dowager looked at the emperor with a smile, "After the New Year, the birthday, sure enough, it is a year older," said to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, "It looks very good." ”
The Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded complimentarily, and the Empress Dowager Cixi asked: "There are a lot of vassal members of Zhengdan this year, and a few of the Red Sect Living Buddhas in Qinghai have also come, have you seen them all?" ”
"The Lijiao Yuan and the Lifan Yuan have not yet set a date," said Emperor Tongzhi, "and when the date is set, we will give a banquet in the Ziguang Pavilion, and then let them go to the garden for a stroll." ”
Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Don't be lazy, the emperor can go to the banquet for a while, and let them get it when they are other times," Empress Dowager Cixi smiled at Ci'an, "These are the things that are said every day, not like what should be said between mother and son." ”
The Empress Dowager Ci'an glanced at the emperor standing on the ground with her hands down, pinched the handkerchief and said with a smile, "Niangniang helps the emperor manage the government, naturally different from ordinary mothers and sons, naturally I have to say this, the concubines are different, Su Rili saw our emperor, they all talked about what to eat, what to wear, who usually follows the emperor, who serves the heart," the Empress Dowager Ci'an turned her face and said casually, "I don't understand the affairs of the court and politics, and only a great talent like Niangniang can take the government smoothly and smoothly, Let our emperor be a lot easier. ”
An Dehai heard that something was wrong, but he didn't know that there was something wrong, so he had to bring a stool up, Cixi asked the emperor to sit down, and the emperor shook his head, "At this time, I drank wine and was very tired, and my son wanted to go back and settle down earlier." ”
"It's okay, the New Year has just arrived, and you're still busy, you should go to bed early," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Last year, there were a few new science and technology scholars who came to the Hanlin Academy, I think they are all good, young talents, let them accompany you to study." ”
"It's all up to the emperor's mother's arrangement, and the son will retire." Emperor Tongzhi bowed his head respectfully and withdrew from Chuxiu Palace. (To be continued.) )
