The two people slowly rotated and danced, the palace eunuch who was supposed to be waiting by his side was gone, the snow was still flying down, Prince Gong couldn't understand English, but he felt that the two were getting closer and closer, dancing, dancing and jumping, sticking closer and closer, he slowly covered his body in the shadow under the cornices, hiding his expression, he saw Cixi's head resting on Edward's shoulder, the two hugged together in front of the stage, Prince Gong's shoulders shook slightly, and then turned around and left quietly, The two men behind him were whispering, and he paid no more attention to the elusive English.

"Eddie," the Empress Dowager Cixi rested her head on Edward's shoulder, "you are going back to China, such a world, I am forty-seven years old, and I will not see each other again in this life." ”

Edward put his arms around Cixi, brushed the snowflakes on her back, and put his cheek on Cixi's head, her hair was cold, "Yes, but our relationship has surpassed that of many people, and even if we don't see each other in the future, we will definitely maintain such a relationship." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi bowed her head slightly and closed her eyes, "Today's heavy snow is so beautiful." The two of them didn't speak like this, and after a while, the Empress Dowager Cixi raised her head and took a few steps back, "Let's go!" The Empress Dowager Cixi regained her calm and generous natural expression, "The dance is not over yet, this time we are holding it together, the host can't help but send them away." ”

Prince Gong walked out of Shufangzhai with a complicated expression, fortunately no one saw it, walked a few steps forward, bypassed the Qianqiu Pavilion, and a group of people came over with lanterns, and saw Prince Gong's uniform through the lanterns, and hurriedly stopped, and the people led by him called a thousand people, "King Yizheng." ”

Seeing that it was Gui Xiang, the former minister of the imperial guard, Prince Gong nodded, "Get up." ”

"Didn't the prince go with Xisheng?" Gui Xiang smiled, "The slave has been looking for a while. ”

"I just walked around, and I didn't see the Queen Mother." Prince Gong said lightly, "The Queen Mother is about to go back to the palace to change her clothes, the dance has not yet ended, and it must not rest." ”

"Yes." Gui Xiang glanced at Prince Gong, and suddenly laughed inexplicably, "Yes, King Yizheng, it is difficult to walk in the snow here." It's better to go back to Chonghua Palace with the minions. ”

Prince Gong shook his head, "I've been living outside all these years, and it's rare to see snow in the palace, especially the Imperial Garden, I don't know how many years I haven't come," he sighed a little, and at this time he was not impatient to deal with anyone at all, and said bluntly, "I'll just stand here for a while, and you can call my companion over." ”

Gui Xiang's eyes were deeply hidden under the warm hat. Immediately stood on the side and turned to leave, Gui Xiang led the guards to the door of Shufangzhai together, happened to see the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Edward walked out one after another, so he stepped forward to salute, Li Lianying next to the Empress Dowager Cixi was holding the flag head and hairpin jewelry, etc., Gui Xiang saw it and smiled, "What's the matter, Niangniang fell?" ”

"No," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "I played in the snow for a while." "But I have played with the flag head," she told the maid, "bring me my clothes and change them," and suddenly sneezed. Li Lianying hurriedly persuaded, "The master has been playing in the snow for so long, I'm afraid that he will catch a cold, so it's better to go back to the palace to settle down first." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi just refused, "What is this, it's not like I haven't played in the snow before." She smiled at Edward, "Don't spoil the guests." ”

Gui Xiang also persuaded, "If you want to go to the ball, you should still change your clothes, otherwise such wet clothes are on your body, and in the end there is no obstacle to the phoenix body, and the queen mother will personally send the prince to Tianjin in a few days, this phoenix body must be healthy and healthy." ”

Edward also persuaded Cixi to change her clothes first, "I'll take care of the guests at the ball, Sissi, you can go and change your clothes first, don't worry here." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi agreed, wore a sedan chair, sat on it with one hand on her forehead, Gui Xiang held the sedan chair to escort on the side, Li Lianying gave her an umbrella, the Empress Dowager Cixi's face was flushed, obviously she had some wine, "I can drink a little more wine today, but I take care of my own happiness, I didn't entertain any guests, and I don't know if the king of Yizheng helped Zhang Luo." Gui Xiang's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly said casually, "Just now I saw the King of Yizheng coming from Shufangzhai, and I thought it was the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh? I didn't see it," the Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "he probably came out to sober up, these foreign devils, they are really good at drinking." ”

"Queen Mother, you played in the snow for a while, and when people outside knew about it, you were going to chew your tongue again."

Li Lianying turned her face and glanced at Gui Xiang, only to see that Gui Xiang had deep eyes, a natural expression, and what he said was so decent, and naturally she was worried about Cixi from the perspective of her younger brother and courtiers, and the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "What am I afraid of?" It's nothing more than playing in the snow in front of the stage, and there is no matter of drying the wine pond meat forest, what do they have to chew. ”

"That's what you said, mother." Gui Xiang said with a smile.

"I'm just spending a little more time with Edward, if he returns, there won't be much chance of seeing him again in the future." Empress Dowager Cixi said leisurely, "Sometimes this is the case, not only people who meet can necessarily meet, but people who want to be together can also be together." ”

Her interest was suddenly a little low, Gui Xiang's heart was bright, seven years ago when Guangxu Guangxi had just ascended the throne, his father Hui Zheng passed away quietly, this matter hit Cixi very hard, heartbroken so that lingering on the sickbed for several months, except for the forced to listen to the government, the rest of the things were ignored, and it took a long time to gradually get healthy.

In the past few years, he has lost his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and father, and it is no wonder that Cixi will sigh like this, "So I must also do my best to be a landlord, so as not to regret not having the opportunity to meet in the future." ”

"What Niangniang said is," Gui Xiang said with a smile, "So didn't Niangniang give Prince He a big face?" Personally sent Prince He to Tianjin Dagukou, Niangniang is now the queen mother of the regent, and Wan Sui Ye is almost inseparable, so personally sent over, and the prince naturally needless to say, the British must also receive this good intention. ”

"If only they could receive the good intentions, lest I flatter them and show them to the blind?" Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "There are still big things to do next, and I can't let the British hold their hands and feet, lest I lose sight of one or the other, lose the fire, and ruin a table full of Han people."
