Zhang Demei saw Pang Delu's solemn face, so she stuck out her tongue, "Yes, master, the little one knows." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The two of them were talking outside, and the voice of Emperor Guangxu came from inside, "Who is outside?" ā€

"It's a minion." Pang Delu hurriedly said, "Come in!"

Pang Delu flicked his horseshoe sleeves and entered the study of Emperor Guangxu, the emperor had just finished reading a book that came in from the West, and the words on it were Chinese characters, but they were all translated from the West. ā€

The emperor nodded, "Get up, what's going on outside, it's almost done?" ā€

Zhang Demei came in with tea, and Pang Delu offered the tea to the emperor, "It's almost done, the flowers outside have been sent out, and several relatives and nobles are very grateful, and they are ready to give thanks." ā€

The emperor smiled silently, Pang Delu knew what the emperor was going to ask, so he approached the emperor a little, "The grandma who went to the Chengen Mansion has come back, according to the meaning of the grandmother, the second lady, it is very appropriate." ā€

"Oh?" The emperor's face flushed slightly, "What's the matter?" ā€

Pang Delu said Mama's words in detail, the emperor listened very carefully, he used to be introverted and shy, not very much with foreign women, or the girls of these relatives, so now, I really don't know what kind of character his cousin looks like, hearing Pang Delu say this, I have a little impression, Pang Delu thought about it, or said Mama's words, "It is said that the character of the second lady is quite similar to Lafayette." ā€

The emperor raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Pang Delu, "Oh? If she is somewhat similar to her own father, it is also her blessing. ā€

"This is also a matter of maybe," Pang Delu said after considering the words, "after all, she is the niece of her mother's family, and her blood is here." ā€

Emperor Guangxu nodded, he looked at Zhang Demei, the little eunuch was extremely smart, and knew that the emperor had something to say, so he retreated, closed the door, and looked outside by the way, "Lao Pang, as soon as I enter the palace, you will serve, except for the wet nurse, it is about the most important thing you take care of me in the past day, if you say, you say so, the future queen, or concubine, how to choose?" ā€

The emperor is also very contradictory, he was confused by Wang Kaiyun and Weng Tongyi's words, the two of them are right, choose the virtuous after the election, this is right, but this is also nonsense, just look at the person, look at the appearance, you can know whether this show girl is virtuous? This is obviously an impossible task, so there is no need to talk about anything else, in fact, you are a heavenly family, and the so-called marriage is not important, but now, this dynasty is not the same as the previous scene, if the emperor really wants to find a help, Wang Kaiyun's words are indeed in his heart.

Pang Delu naturally hurriedly retreated, but the emperor insisted on letting him talk about it, Pang Delu thought about it, "The slave thinks that this virtuous is naturally important, but our royal family is different from ordinary people, and the management is thousands of times more, but benevolence is not enough, and it is more necessary to do a good job of the harem. If the long-lived lord wants to concentrate on the administration of the court, in the end, there is still a master who has the means to help the harem, first, it can make the long-lived lord rest assured, and secondly, it is also to make Lafayette comfortable. ā€

"You're to the point," the Emperor was satisfied with Pang Delu's words, "we're different from ordinary people. ā€

"The slave is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, just listen and laugh." Pang Delu smiled humbly, "A slave is a person with no roots, saying these words is really on paper." ā€

"There's your reason in there," the emperor nodded, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart, "I'm worried now, if these people outside choose by themselves, I'm afraid that my father will still be blamed, especially those in Guixiang's family," the emperor put down the book, stood up, stood up and stood at the door of the study with his hands closed, looking at the sky outside, "You must be cautious, whether your father wants it or not, whether you like it or not, this is all the most important, if you choose this person, it will make your father disgusted, I would rather not choose, no matter how good Guixiang's daughter is, she will not choose, and my father will not be comfortable in the future, of course I will feel uncomfortable. ā€

The emperor's tone was very firm, "So, let's leave this matter aside for the time being." ā€

"What do you mean?"

"Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault," the emperor shook his head and said, "Don't worry about her, go straight, choose what you want." ā€

"Why don't you ask Lafayette what he means," said Pang Delu, "she has a lot of people watching the old man, and she can tell the good and the bad, if she helps you choose, there will be no mistakes." ā€

"I also said the same, but my father said that the person who will live in the future is not her, but I live with the queen, whether it is good or not, the most important thing is that I like it, her meaning is very clear, the most important thing is to like it, and it doesn't matter what other family or family background, whether it is virtuous or not."

This is also a way of choice, the emperor admires this domineering remarks very much, indeed according to what the queen mother said, in the emperor's family, these are not important at all, is it possible that those queens from small families in the former Ming Dynasty have great harm to the government, so they can't be ranked in the middle palace, a model mother? I'm afraid it's not likely, the Empress Dowager Cixi has deeply learned the lessons of the Tongzhi Emperor, she originally wanted the current Yinghuang concubine to be the queen, but the Tongzhi Emperor obviously prefers the Arut clan, because of this incident The mother and son are a little unhappy, this is just it, in the end, it is the mother and son, just talk about it, but because of this incident, the Tongzhi Emperor is not very interested in the Ying Emperor and the concubine, especially when the Empress Dowager Cixi is willing to take the Ying Emperor and the concubine to appear next to the emperor, she is a little cold, This kind of indifference affected the grace and favor of Emperor Ying's concubine, and the Empress Dowager Cixi regretted it very much, if it weren't for her own interference, Emperor Ying's concubine would not be so unfavored, maybe she could give birth to the imperial heir earlier, so that Princess Huiqing would not become a widow. Therefore, she didn't care about Emperor Guangxu's choice of concubines, and she once made it very clear to Emperor Guangxu. (To be continued.) )
