Emperor Tongzhi looked at the queen with a smile, pulled it up, and walked to the warm pavilion with the queen's person in hand, "Why do you need to make such a big gift," the emperor looked at the queen and smiled: "Are you tired today?" ”
"The concubine is not tired," the queen replied gently, and the palace maid brought tea up, "This son is about to go to meet the queen mother of the two palaces, does the emperor want to go with him?" ”
"What's the matter, the queen is still afraid that the queen mother will not succeed?" The Emperor laughed.
"The concubine doesn't dare," the queen replied, "it's just the first time I see it, and the concubine is afraid that she will lose her manners and displease the queen mother." ”
"It's okay, the emperor is the most amiable, she doesn't put up a fight against the palace people and eunuchs, you are the queen, how can the emperor be unhappy with you, don't worry." The emperor put down the teacup, "You go to see the emperor first, I will come later, if you are in trouble, I will come to the hero to save the beauty." ”

She had to be a little apprehensive, because she heard that she was not the queen mother's favorite candidate, but the queen mother had listened to the government for many years, and no one in the court was disobedient and respectful.
In a moment, the chief eunuch of Chuxiu Palace came out to salute and invite the queen in, the queen took a deep breath, raised her feet and entered the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, two thrones have been arranged in the main hall, sitting in the east is the queen mother, wearing a big red crane deer with spring lingzhi Ruyi's ramie dress, the west is the Empress Dowager Ci'an, wearing a crimson embroidered phoenix and peony auspicious clothes, two rows of goose wings sat in the palace The high-ranking concubines and concubines, the queen squatted down to ask for peace, first kneeling on one knee, Then spread the hem of the auspicious dress with both hands, and knelt on the ground, "The concubine knocks on the queen mother, the queen mother, Then he kowtowed three times.
The eyes in the hall saw the queen's body, and the queen was not weak, very calm, Cixi nodded with a smile, "I've worked hard for you, don't help me up quickly." He moved to the right again, "This is also the Queen Mother." ”
The queen knew that although the queen mother in the east was unknown, she could listen to the meaning of the emperor's words, and she was very respectful, and she did not dare to slack off, and then knelt down and bowed, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an also asked the queen to get up, and the Empress Dowager Cixi introduced Concubine Ligui and Concubine Yungui one by one, Concubine Yu, Concubine Wan and others, and the queen also gave a slight blessing one by one, in the end, it was not the queen mother, the queen's dignity was still there, so Concubine Li and others also returned the gift together, and waited until they all met, Cixi gave the seat, invited the queen to sit down, and said with a smile, " This is the first time we have met, so I have received your big gift, and we will all be a family in the future, and the queen does not need to be so polite, so as not to let people say that I have big rules here. ”
The queen was originally looking at her nose and nose, but when she heard this, she stood up again, and said that she didn't dare, and the queen mother shook her head, "You don't have to be formal, you didn't know me before, so I'm a little afraid, and when I get familiar with it later, I will know that I am the most informal person." ”
Concubine Li pinched her handkerchief and smiled at the Empress Dowager Cixi, "I look at our queen, but it is a bit like when the Empress Dowager used to be. ”
"How dare the concubine be like the emperor's mother, Li Niangniang laughed," the queen hurriedly said again, the queen is a smart person, and in a moment she changed her title from the queen mother to the queen mother.
Cixi stared at the queen, the queen is a goose egg face, thin eyebrows into the sideburns, although she is still young, but she is very steady, she was so calm and calm in the face of her own before, she was crossed over, and the Alut clan is a family teacher, it can be seen that it is indeed good, some of the emperor's displeasure of not listening to himself was swept away, Cixi nodded, "It's a little similar, it's good to be young, the emperor's concubines have entered the palace, and we have all become old people," the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled at Concubine Ligui, "But I can't pretend to be tender." ”
Everyone laughed at the scene, and the Empress Dowager Cixi instructed Anqian, "Bring me my string of jade bracelets, yes, it is the string that the first emperor rewarded." Anqian answered, from the inner hall took a rosewood peach heart shape box out of the Cixi to dedicate to Cixi, Cixi took out a string of jade bracelets from the box, there are more than a dozen dark blue jade beads in it, very pure and transparent but heavy texture, is the real product of the accumulation of years, each round jade beads on both sides of the red gold leaves, the end of a red phoenix like a ruby embellished, taken out of the box, dazzling, the concubines' head jewelry are covered in the bleak, the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at it, beckoned to the queen, The queen stepped forward meekly and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi took the queen's right hand and put the jade bracelet into the queen's jade-colored soft wattle, and Concubine Li exclaimed at this time, "This is what the mother gave to you personally after she became the queen that year." "The queen is really blue-eyed by the queen mother.
When the queen heard that this thing had an extraordinary origin, she hurriedly wanted to take it off, "The emperor's mother is too precious to accept it." ”
"What is he, you are the queen, you can't afford it there? Although this object is rare, it is rare to have a heart," the Queen Mother took the queen's hand, "This is what the first emperor personally put on me after I became the queen, saying that I hope that the arm is so strong, see each other day and night, although the first emperor died early," the Empress Dowager Ci'an reddened her eyes and brushed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "But my feelings for me have not changed at all, I give you this object today, and I also want you and the emperor to be able to grow old together as a husband and wife, so as to live up to this hand, get up quickly." ”
The queen replied in a low voice and stood up, "After talking for a while, let's serve tea quickly, everyone will be a family in the future, don't be restrained, use some refreshments."
