The Empress Dowager Cixi pursed her lips, "Your feelings are really moving," she sighed, "Okay, you go down, just live behind here, don't move around, the rules in the palace are big, you know, if you are still looking around in the palace, be careful about your life." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Grandma Kui hurriedly said that she didn't dare, got up and retreated, at this time Prince Xuan had already left, and there were only two people left in the hall, Rong Shou and Li Lianying, Rong Shou saw that there was no one else, lifted the skirt, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and the Empress Dowager Cixi said curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Erchen wants to thank the emperor for his kindness, and Erchen has no other filial piety, so he can only kowtow a few times." After speaking, she continued to kowtow, and the Empress Dowager Cixi hurriedly asked Li Lianying to help her up, "He is your own brother, he used to be inseparable from Emperor Yingzong, Meng was not defocused, when I saw him, I also remembered Emperor Yingzong, they are so good, if Emperor Yingzong is here, probably he will not be harsh, just laugh and scold." ”

Although there was no sadness in these words, Rong Shou knew that the death of Emperor Yingzong was really a scar in the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he hurriedly persuaded that she did not continue to talk about the topic of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but talked about Zai Cheng, "The emperor's mother can take a fancy to Zai Cheng, it is really his blessing, and he also let the Guangzhou general take it away, and it is really not worth it for my daughter to think about it." ”

"As long as he is motivated, it's worth it, that Zhaokui, who is timid, only makes trouble in the Zongren Mansion, I just keep him useful, give him a sweetness first, if he is disobedient in the future, this board will be beaten back." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "First lock up Zaicheng, let him calm down, and then theorize after the New Year, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you don't have to accompany me, an old woman, go home first to see your Ama and Eniang, I heard that your Eniang's health is much better?" If you are not in good health, don't go into the palace to toss the day after tomorrow. ”

"Her body is much better, where she can not enter the palace to meet the imperial mother," Princess Rongshou said, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the foreign wife entered the palace to see the court is already absent, and the family banquet the day after tomorrow will never be unable to come due to illness, if the banquet of the third year does not come again, I am afraid that there will be a lot of discussion outside, saying that there is no one in Prince Gong's mansion, and even the banquet of Xisheng cannot be shirked, "Besides, the imperial mother is not as relaxed in the palace as outside, and I naturally have to accompany the imperial mother more in the palace." ”

"You don't have to talk about it, do you still expect to ask for red envelopes from me?" The Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "There is no red envelope today, you bring Brother Zhi'er in a few days, and I will seal one for him, you are all Eniang, don't expect a red envelope." ”

"I don't dare to expect the emperor to give a red envelope, but this year is the 50th birthday of the emperor's mother, and my daughter should think about it carefully, how to celebrate the birthday of the emperor." Rong Shou said with a smile.

Cixi shook her head, "My temperament is the most lively, Suri is not a festival, I have to pass on the drama troupe of the Shengping Department to listen to the play, but now the situation in the south is so bad, Vietnam is still at war, if I make too much trouble, people will inevitably mumble, it's just a simple meal." ”

"This is the first day of the new year, and this year is also a good day for the emperor to ascend the throne for ten years," Princess Rongshou said auspicious words, "This year is smooth, and the birthday of the emperor will definitely be smooth." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi laughed and didn't say anything, "I'll let you go back to the house today, and I also have something else for you to tell Amma," the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to stand up from the kang, Li Lianying hurriedly put the bottom of her flower pot on, Rong Shou helped the Empress Dowager Cixi out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, and when she arrived in the main hall, she lifted the curtain on the door of the hall and looked at the heavy snow outside, "I want to go to your Amma's house tomorrow." ”

Princess Rongshou was surprised, "Then do you want Ama to be ready to take over?" She was very obedient and never asked about things she shouldn't ask, such as what the Empress Dowager Cixi was going to do in Prince Gong's Mansion.

"No, I'm just going to go private, and I don't need to make a big fuss." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, she looked at the snow outside the hall wordlessly.

There are some things that need to be confirmed in person, she turned around, "I don't know what the situation is in the south." ”

"Boom!" A flowering shell shot into the camp west of Bac Ninh City, smashing a black cloud, and on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Mile launched an offensive battle against Bac Ninh City.

"Kill!" The drums sounded, the French army stepped on the drum and killed the front, the city of Bac Ninh was condescending, it was originally a place where artillery gathered, Jiang Qi's original intention, artillery can form a powerful danger to the French army here, but the French are not stupid, especially the commander Miller, he is the elite who fought from the Battle of Sedan, of course, that time from His Majesty the Emperor to his generals were captured together, a defeat was selectively ignored by him, the Chinese want to compare with the invincible Germany, it will take many years, The artillery shells poured mercilessly towards the city of Bac Ninh, and the artillery on the suppressed city wall could not raise their heads.

Whether in terms of numbers or combat readiness, the French are superior, although the three battalions are each other's horns, but correspondingly, the dispersion of troops has caused it very difficult for either side to cope with the offensive of the French people, and the western battalion of Adjutant General Huang Guilan is a little unable to hold at first.

"Lord Admiral!" The herald with a black and gray face knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Qi, "Lord Huang can't stand it!" ”

"It's only been half an hour, and he can't hold it there? Do you want me to help him guard the door myself? Jiang Qi said quietly, he was not angry, in the past he followed Rong Lu behind him for many years, but he learned a Confucian general's bearing, he was commanding the battle under the city gate, and the cannonballs bombarded into the city of Beining from time to time, he was also peaceful, he looked at the terrain on the sand table, and gave orders to the generals from time to time, and then raised his head after a while, "Tell Huang Guilan that if he can't hold it, it's okay, but if he dies first, the rest of your soldiers can retreat." ”

Huang Guilan's herald stomped his feet angrily, turned around and threw the curtain away without saluting, Jiang Qi smiled slightly, not caring at all, "The French want to win or lose a game with us in Beining City, and we are not afraid of them," Jiang Qi said confidently, "Huang Guilan is there to defend, I have to resist it here, pass the order, the musketeers will line up, go out of the city from the east and west gates, and meet the enemy in a goose-shaped formation, we have to leave a chance for Lord Su here!" ”
