The Empress Dowager Cixi was slightly surprised, "What did you say?" She looked at Emperor Guangxu, "At this age, it should be time to get married, why, don't you want to get married?" ”

"Yes, the retainer is still young, the ancients have a family and a business, and the retainer feels that he is not good enough, so naturally he can't get married like this," Emperor Guangxu hurriedly explained, "I still want to serve your old man for a few more years under my father's knees."

"This doesn't make sense," Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly, she turned her face and said to Emperor Li's concubine, "Look, the emperor is really filial." ”

"This is natural," Emperor Li's concubine nodded and said, "The emperor has entered the palace since he was a child, and the mother has to take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he has to pay attention to the daily life of our emperor every day, and say a disrespectful word, it is really like what the people outside say, it is a father and a mother, and it has been controlled for so many years, inside the palace, outside the palace, who doesn't know, the big guy doesn't say it, and his heart is like a mirror, the emperor has grown up, and naturally knows how to be filial, and the Ming monarchs throughout the ages are like this." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "You have also worked hard for many years, and Emperor Ying's concubine has also helped a lot, and now, the emperor has finally grown up, so let's enjoy the happiness next, let the emperor honor us, and blindly listen to the opera and have fun and visit the garden!" This big wedding is a must," the Empress Dowager Cixi picked up a honey cherry and ate it slowly, "The ancestors and saints are all married in their teens, that age seems to be earlier, the emperor is twenty years old this year, he reads well, when it comes to diligence, the first emperor is not even comparable to one of your toes, the ancients read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, you have not traveled thousands of miles now, ten thousand books are reached, start a family and start a family, naturally together, after you get married, you have a queen, a daughter-in-law, there is a responsibility, Naturally, you are an adult, and an adult must have what an adult should do, and the future government will be handed over to you. ”

Obviously, the Empress Dowager Cixi understood the real reason why the emperor was unwilling to marry so early, and the emperor hurriedly stood up again, "Erchen has no experience, and he is not afraid of his father's jokes, Erchen is really timid in his heart." ”

"Sit down, sit down," the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled kindly, "I know your filial piety, but the official outside has been on the fold for several years, saying that the emperor will be married as soon as possible, I think it's not bad, and besides, I have to take into account the meaning of the courtiers outside, it can't be said that the emperor is watching from the side, I, the empress dowager with an unrighteous name, is still listening to the government, sister, you say yes." ”

When it came to the affairs of the court, Emperor Li's concubine didn't dare to interject at will, just smiled slightly, lowered her head and drank tea, pretending not to hear this sentence, "People outside say this, there are always some people who have this meaning, this is natural, the flowing water is not rotten, the household hub is not beetle, even the minister of military aircraft has to change from time to time, I have hung the curtain for so many years, and I estimate that many people are tired of it, not that they hate me, but there is a kind of greasy look, this is too normal, no matter how good-looking the corner, no matter how good the play, **** singing, It's going to get tired too. ”

"After the Sino-French War for so many years, not much has been done, but it has passed so smoothly and steadily, Zuo Zongtang is outside, offended a lot of people, it is considered a rapid retreat, the matter of the Eight Banners, the cooking is almost, originally this started the pilot, some people have errands, but there are many, looking at these people in front of them, and then thinking about how they will be in the future, so this needs to be done slowly, other things, are almost done, and the relationship with Western countries is not bad now, the outside is calm, There have been no major disasters in the country for several years, and the wind and rain are smooth, and now I will hand it over to you, and I can rest assured. ”

"Besides, I'm also old, no matter how I say it, after being tired for so many years, I have to rest and have fun for a few years, this is my old age," Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "If you really have filial piety, then don't let me continue to be so tired." ”

The queen mother said this, the emperor couldn't either, so he had to stand up and hang his hands to listen to the instructions, at this time the eunuch in the dining room came to tell him, saying that it was time for lunch, and the queen mother also stood up, "You two have a good mouth today," she pulled Li Guifei, "I know that you come to me to eat and drink." ”

The three of them went to the Tiren Hall together, here is the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi eats, the Empress Dowager Cixi sits in the west, the Guangxu Emperor and the Li Guifei sit opposite each other, Zhu Zhiyi is outside the palace gate, clapping his hands, and the eunuch who slipped away came in with the food box, in front of the emperor, opened the box one by one, and brought out a bowl of dishes, most of today's dishes are Soviet-style, cherry meat, squirrel osmanthus fish, these two are the favorite dishes of the Qianlong Emperor, in the past, there was a royal chef from Suzhou called the winter official, and invented cherry meat, which is a large piece of pork belly, just draw out a small square on the meat skin, wait until simmering and pour the sauce, it looks like cherries are placed in a bowl, very bright, these two are some sweet and sour taste, there is also a crab roe lion head, with Yangcheng Lake's hairy crab roe and pork to beat the strength, knead into meatballs, and then cook with chicken broth, put in the cup, with crisp green leaves, people can't help but move their index fingers, other dishes have Taihu Lake Erbai, Taihu Erbai is whitebait and duck protein stewed soup, the taste is also very light, in addition to Suzhou-style dishes, Dry roasted deer tendon, pipa prawns, ginkgo roasted mutton, hanging duck, this is a northern dish, the staple food is leek yellow box and shepherd's cabbage shredded silver silk noodles, the Empress Dowager Cixi likes to eat rice, and another rouge rice, which is produced from the fields of Vietnam, is darker than the red rice in the Zhuangzi in Beijing. The Empress Dowager Cixi is not very particular about food and sleep, the three of them talk and laugh, and they are happy, and the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Emperor Guangxu, "How is today's class?" Is Wang Kaiyun good at speaking? ”

"Okay, my son is very grateful to my father for allocating Master Wang to his son, so that his son can listen to his high opinions, Master Wang talked about the history book today, which is really an eye-opener for his son," Emperor Guangxu talked about Wang Kaiyun, who was originally a little restrained, and suddenly became interested, and he briefly said the content of today's lecture, "My son still doesn't know that the defeat of these six countries is actually different, and each can refer to the countries of the world today, so that the comparison between China and foreign countries, the son can see the political gains and losses more clearly." And Master Wang looks at the general trend of the world, just like looking at the pattern in the palm of his hand, many things that he didn't understand before, as soon as he said this, his son understood.
