The Empress Dowager Cixi hated opium the most, this was completely different from the popular fashion at the time, most people just felt that the import of opium harmed people's bodies, the danger was there, but only a little bit, it was not a big deal, the officials of the household department believed that the import of opium caused the outflow of silver, and it was also very annoying, but the Empress Dowager Cixi knew that the things of the later generations, drugs were the most harmful to a person, Gui Xiang was contaminated with drugs, and it was not surprising that the family was ruined, and the person who took drugs was not only a scourge to the family, He himself was forever gone.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was very displeased, there was no need to be angry, the tone of disgust was already full of reveal, Niu Hulu hurriedly stood up, "Yes, the Queen Mother taught me that it was just that Gui Xiang was sad that his mother-in-law passed away in the old year, and he was too sad, so he didn't know where he learned to smoke a lot, which naturally didn't work, and the concubine also persuaded him many times, but Guixiang was unwilling, and the concubine couldn't do anything." Niu Hulu wanted to cry, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, and then held back, "That's it, don't wipe your tears, what's there to cry about, the old men of the Eight Banners, there are not many errands, and how many people eat and drink all day long with Guixiang, and there is nothing wrong with it, you say," the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Niu Hulu with scrutinizing eyes, "Why did Guixiang suddenly change his temper?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know," Niu Hulu obviously got Gui Xiang's orders, and said that he didn't know, "I probably figured it out at home, and then I thought about hurrying to ask the Queen Mother for guilt, his body has always been not very good, and he has taken countless medicines this winter, and now it is still not good." ”

"Hmph, eating a lot of smoke, you can't eat any tonics," Empress Dowager Cixi snorted coldly, she instructed Li Lianying, "Tell the imperial doctor to take a look, what's going on," she turned her face to Niu Hulu and said, "Since he is willing to apologize, he can naturally wait a few days, let him feel better, and hand over the sign to the palace." When the Empress Dowager Cixi said this, it meant that Guixiang's house arrest was coming to an end, and Niu Hulu was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Thank you Empress Dowager!" ”

"Thank me for what I have done, get up," the Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "This is not good, only my own people know, Gui Xiang does not apologize, I will not forgive him, not only that he has committed an irreparable mistake, but also because he is my own brother!" As long as everything he does, it will be attributed to me, so he can make mistakes, but he can't deliberately sin, and that will be thought to be my intention, understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand this, Gui Xiang must understand," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "He is my own brother, although he killed someone, it doesn't matter, I bear it, but he can't go unpunished, anyone who does something wrong must bear it, not only him, but I am no exception." ”

"Yes, the concubine will follow the instructions of the Queen Mother, and she will definitely tell Gui Xiang about this."

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and put her hand on the kang table, "It's good to know, before you leave the palace, bring some gram food out, there are many children in the family, you are blessed," the Empress Dowager was a little stunned, "Blessed people, I envy it, take the gram food out, let the people in the family taste it." ”

"Yes, thank you Queen Mother for your grace."

"The second daughter of your family," the Empress Dowager Cixi thought of something, "how old is she this year?" ”

"It's eighteen," Niu Hulu suddenly mentioned Jingfen, and her heart fluttered.

"What's your name?" The Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of red date soup and thought for a while, "Is it called Jingfen?" It doesn't seem to be much in the palace. ”

"Yes, she is afraid that she will lose her politeness when she enters the palace in the queen mother, so she doesn't enter the palace much, "In fact, when the mother and daughter enter the palace, they basically won't come to the Empress Dowager Cixi to make up, they all go to the residence of the Empress Dowager Ying, because the Empress Dowager is in charge of internal and external affairs, and the Empress Dowager Cixi only manages political affairs, and she is busy to death when she sees the ministers every day. ”

"Do you usually study?" The Empress Dowager Cixi asked casually, "Girls, you can't just learn needlework and be blind, right?" ”

"I used to go to women's school, and I was rough in literature and science."

"When will it be empty," the Empress Dowager Cixi picked out a silver spoon, "bring it in and show me, and then the curtain will be removed immediately, the girls in every family, most of them don't know, if there are no girls like these flowers to accompany them, I am afraid that I will die of boredom in the future." ”

"Yes."

She obviously suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Lianying, who was waiting on the side, "Last time I said that Li Hongzhang's daughter was going to enter the palace to see her, when was this?" ”

"Back to the Buddha, you are the nineteenth to say this, in a few days, Lord Li's daughter will enter the palace, do you want the slave to urge?"

"What's there to urge here," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Li Hongzhang's errand has not been decided, I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to let his daughter enter the palace to deal with me, I sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and am not in a hurry at all!" ”

Xiao Zhuzi came in and said, "Lord Wang is here." ”

"Call in," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, she said to Niu Hulu, "I can't be free today, and I don't have time to talk to you, in a few days, after Guixiang enters the palace, you will take Jingfen into the palace, let's talk well, kneel down first." ”

Niu Hulu left gratefully, and Xiao Zhuzi also went down with him, ready to go to the small kitchen to bring fresh food, Lord Wang walked in, bowed and saluted, "Queen Mother." ”

"You are on an errand in Yuqing Palace, why did you come here to me," At this time, the palace maid brought a bowl of walnuts over, and the Empress Dowager Cixi herself used a silver tong, crushed the walnuts, and ate slowly, "The emperor is a benevolent person, but you can't run around like this, unscrupulously." ”

"Yes," Wang Kaiyun didn't care about the Empress Dowager Cixi's poor attitude, smiled slightly, and his face was very calm, "Today I came to tell the West Sage something, a few days ago, a person found Weichen's home and asked Weichen for a chance." ”

"Who's worth it for you to say this in person?" The Empress Dowager Cixi picked up a piece of walnut, "Presumably some important person?" Kindness? The Empress Dowager Cixi guessed someone, "Could it be that it can't be Li Hongzhang, right?" ”

"Why did Governor Li come to find Wei Chen," Wang Kaiyun said, "Lord Li is the confidant of the Empress Dowager, and has nothing to do with me. ”

"Who's that?"

"Yuan Shikai." (To be continued.) )
