Emperor Guangxu arrived outside the Chuxiu Gate, Zhu Zhiyi, the head of Chuxiu Palace, had already arrived at the threshold to wait, and when he saw Emperor Guangxu, he hurriedly saluted, "Get up," Emperor Guangxu nodded, "You are an old man who serves the Empress Dowager, you are a decent person, don't always kneel and kneel, where is the Empress Dowager?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, the West Sage is looking at the flowers in the flower room, accompanied by the imperial concubine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Which imperial concubine?"

"It's the concubine of Emperor Li." The emperor nodded, stepped into the Chuxiu Gate, bypassed the two pairs of copper deer and bronze dragons in front of the main hall, and walked towards the north, the side hall behind hugged the west of the summer, and built a box-like building that sparkled in the sun, the outside was paved with steel bars and glass, and the inside was green, the weather in Beijing at this time, the wind and sand outside, the breath of spring was nowhere to be found, only here, it seemed to be the permanent appearance of spring, the palace maid was waiting at the door, and when she saw the emperor coming, she hurriedly opened the glass door, the rules of the Qing Palace, As long as it is an errand, there is no need to salute, so the palace maid just takes care of herself, Emperor Guangxu entered the room, only to feel that the heating inside is rushing to his face, and he can't help but feel warm, as if immersed in warm water, there is no throne inside, just put two round stools, and a round table with a clear ink mountain stone screen, a palace woman with her back to the door, her figure is a little lonely, and a woman wearing a sky blue parrot plum blossom embroidered gold thread Yingluo flag is holding a silver scissors pruning flower branches, Her face was slightly raised, shining in the sun, her age should not be young, because there were already some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and the skin on her face was a little loose, the years had taken away some things, but she had been given a lot of things that others seemed to be difficult to get, and at first glance, she didn't seem to be young, but when she looked at it again, she just felt that her whole body exuded a vibrant look, and anyone who saw her would not think that she was very old, and she was always about forty years old.

She is holding a pair of silver scissors to prune a pot of camellias, camellia in Beijing, there are many precious varieties, and now the one that is being built is the "Eighteen Bachelors", this "Eighteen Bachelors" is not a camellia that blooms in eighteen colors, but refers to the number of petals, from the outside to the center of the flower, there are a total of eighteen layers of petals, layer upon layer, the shape of the flowers is very peculiar, the layers are clear, the arrangement is orderly, very beautiful, the woman is holding silver scissors, Looking at the almost perfect vermilion camellias, I don't know how to start, the flower house has actually been built very well a long time ago, naturally it is a little redundant, Emperor Guangxu saw this scene, in fact, it was only in a moment, and the eunuch said, "Long live the lord is here." ”

The woman holding the scissors turned her head, her head was clean, just a jade Ruyi hairpin, the tassel hanging on the hairpin was a millet pillar strung with pink tourmaline, she saw the Guangxu Emperor, the eyes were gentle and kind but very majestic and firm, the emperor did not dare to slack off and stepped forward to make a thousand, "Erchen to my father to say goodbye." ”

This is the Empress Dowager Cixi, she saw Emperor Guangxu saluting, "Get up, what's wrong with this?" ”

"Yes." Emperor Guangxu got up, bent down slightly and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "I came from the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

"Just in time." The Empress Dowager Cixi handed the silver scissors to the palace maid on the side, clapped her hands, and nodded to the woman sitting in the seat, "Your Li Niangniang is sad, she is the most obedient to the emperor's words, come and persuade her." ”

Emperor Lihuang stood up, the handkerchief in her hand hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and greeted Emperor Guangxu slightly, Emperor Guangxu leaned sideways and let go of Emperor Li's salute, "Li Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Empress Dowager Cixi sat on the stool, pulled the Empress Dowager down and instructed the eunuch, "Bring a stool, and you can sit on the emperor." ”

"She's thinking about her Ama at this moment," Empress Dowager Cixi took the hand of Emperor Li's concubine and looked at her lovingly, Concubine Li's father was Qinghai who died last year, in fact, it can't be regarded as an early death, because she is seventy-one years old, the average life expectancy of this era, this age is a high lifespan, but Empress Li's concubine, in this early spring, not only thought of her father, but also thought of other people, "Although Rong'an has been gone for so many years," Empress Dowager Cixi muttered, "No wonder you still think, She is so well-behaved," she was a little stunned, and when she saw the eyes of Emperor Li's concubine, she quickly said, "Ouch, let you not be sad, but want you to cry, you really shouldn't be." Okay, the emperor is here, don't lose the face of your elders and let the emperor laugh at you. ”

Emperor Guangxu smiled and said that he didn't dare, and Emperor Li's concubine was amused by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the originally sad atmosphere was broken all of a sudden, "Okay, your Ama is also a long life, and you don't dare to delay when you see any of the vassal states, and you are all rushing to wear linen and filial piety?" This is your Amma's Yu Ze, others don't know, they all know, if you are homesick, you have to go back by yourself, use my honor guard, stay outside for as long as you want, always have to be happy. ”

Concubine Lihuang was a little happier, "Listen to Niangniang." ”

She relieved her worries, so she came to joke with Emperor Guangxu again, "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen is about to be established." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Guangxu made a big red face, "You still talk about it," the eunuchs brought tea, and the Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You are also the emperor's mother, what is it to call you a Li Niangniang, why don't you care about anything?" Now that you're going to draft a draft girl, you're joking, and you have to be serious to help you choose a good one. ”

"Whichever one of the concubines looks at is good," Emperor Li's concubine said with a smile, "Over the years, my eyes have become more and more bad, I can't really see it with reading glasses, and I can't do my favorite needlework before, speaking of which, it's not bad to get a few reading glasses this time, thank you to the emperor." ”

Emperor Guangxu shook his head, and Emperor Li's concubine continued, "The old man is dizzy, where do you dare to choose someone else?" It's just that when someone comes to serve tea, the concubine will be satisfied. ”

"Your requirements are not too high, and you are afraid that no one will serve tea?" Empress Dowager Cixi turned her face, looked at Emperor Guangxu, nodded and smiled, "The emperor is twenty years old this year, and when he got married, it was just right." ”

Emperor Guangxu hurriedly stood up, "Erchen doesn't want to get married so soon." (To be continued.) )
