Dragged on for a lot of time, April 25th, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Guangxu Emperor served the Empress Dowager and a concubine concubine and others finally got off the Old Summer Palace, to the Old Summer Palace is a settlement without mentioning, the Empress Dowager Cixi used to live in Kyushu Qingyan, now the emperor is about to get married, it is not suitable to continue to live here, but the Empress Dowager is afraid of the heat, and does not want to live in the Qinzheng family, there is a place to discuss politics, if you live in the Qinzheng Palace, and live in the Forbidden City, what is the difference? The area of Kyushu has been tired of crooked, looking east and west, and selected the Xiu Mountain House, which is located in the south of the east coast of Fuhai, and was built around the ninth year of Yongzheng. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info here overlooks the huge lake and is clear, looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Mountain, backed by the Changchun Garden, quiet and cool and not far from the Qinzheng Palace, it is also convenient for the Empress Dowager Cixi to go to the administration and do things.
The emperor naturally lived in Kyushu Qingyan, for many years, this is the emperor's residence, has never changed, the rest of the concubines and concubines have chosen their favorite places to live, the emperor has not yet married, these houses are empty and empty, although Shoukang Palace and Cining Palace are not narrow, but the concubines are crowded together, there is a garden so spacious, the scenery of the wind and snow is excellent, and there is no need to go to the queen mother in the morning and dusk to set up rules, how happy you want, Now the Empress Dowager of Xuanzong, who is now in her prime, lives in her former favorite Acropolis, and can't help but chant Buddha to the Empress Dowager, "This is all thanks to the blessing of our Empress Dowager, Amitabha, our wife and son are a lot older, and they can live a good life here for a few days." ”
This day is to come in and sleep for three days, the big guy came to see the queen mother, although it is not used to make rules every day, but how much you have to listen to the queen mother's instructions first, after listening to the instructions, the big guy wants to play on his own, he wants to listen to the play, he wants to go boating, no one cares, when the Wenzong Dynasty the big guy has to do his own needlework, it is considered to support the state, but now it is not used. The Queen Mother is very sympathetic to the harem, usually Li is not too restrained to them, and if there are any difficulties in their respective mothers' families, they will not not help, if there are people in the family, the Queen Mother is still paying special attention to the appointment of officials, so the relatives of this dynasty are very serious, such as Chang's, there is a nephew who works as an errand in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the official position is not small.
Everyone heard Chang's praise, and also praised one after another, Rao is Empress Dowager Cixi was patted in the foreign court for a lot of time, at this time when she heard the group of female porridge, she couldn't help but get goosebumps, "What are you talking about, we have been together for so many years, what is it to live there?" The Queen Mother waved her hand and smiled, and smiled at Chang Shi, who was at the bottom of the head, "The Empress Dowager, your body is healthy, this is the blessing of the dynasty, you are also an old man of the Four Dynasties, you have seen the world more, I think back then, or you accompanied me to the palace in the Old Summer Palace." ”
"I have seen a lot of the world, but in the end, there was no such blessing as it is now," Chang said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were stretched, "The queen mother is the most respectful of these concubines and concubines in the harem, if it weren't for your appeasement, the big guy's life doesn't know how bleak it is, you respect us, we have face when we go out of the palace and live at home." ”
The queen mother is clear about the situation of the concubines after being widowed, so every year at the beginning of February, she will issue an order to let the concubines in the palace go home to live for half a month, of course, these concubines have no children, but the mother's family is still there, not to mention that the weight of the aunt and grandmother in the flag family is quite large, there are many barriers inside and outside the palace, and they can live out of the palace for a period of time, and the relationship with the family is contacted back, and with family affection to rely on, life is much more fulfilling.
This is the category of virtue and politics sympathy for the palace people, the big guy is naturally grateful to Dade, the queen mother laughed, "We are now four generations in the same house, and then wait for the emperor's wedding, and the palace will be even more lively." ”
"That's right," Concubine Li on the side chuckled and said, "The Queen Mother is thinking about letting the emperor get married as soon as possible and hug the little brother earlier!" ”
"I won't hug little brother," Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "I'm a hairy person, how can I hug little brother well?" When the emperor was a child, a few of you hugged me more, and I had no other way, just the same, take the silver, prepare the nurse and grandmother in advance, and let the emperor's brothers and princesses take good care of it, and this matter will be wrapped up in me. I'll give you the money, and I'll stop taking care of it!" ”
Everyone smiled and agreed, "The Queen Mother has spent all her money, what else does the big guy have to say." ”
"What about you, don't all look at the excitement and don't work yourself," the queen mother said with a smile, "In a few days, the re-selected show girls will enter the garden, what do I mean, the big guys will take a look, see how the people they picked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Prince Li, the big guys don't see outsiders when they are adults, and it is rare that there are some flower-like girls who can be pleasing to the eye." ”
Concubine Li said with a smile, "It's all picked out by the Internal Affairs Office, it's not wrong, where do we need to take a look at it like we, the queen mother's eyesight is the best, so we don't need to do it again." ”
"Yes," Cixi said with a smile, "I think about it, go into the garden for a few days and talk to us, what do you think, sister?" ”
This is something that has not happened before, everyone is quite surprised, although the Eight Banners Show Girl has an example of staying in the palace to be selected, but in the Old Summer Palace, this is still not tried, of course, everyone will not understand that these people are coming in with these old women, in the end they should still come to let the emperor see in advance, if the emperor himself takes a fancy to that, it will not be directly given flowers when it comes to the final re-election, or a jade card, just look at that side and decide to live together in the future.
The big guys are very smart, this time the son understands the intention of the queen mother, and of course he will not disagree, Li Guifei thought of a good way again, "This time the show girls, it seems that some of them are related to each family, since it is the kindness of the queen mother, the concubines think it is better to let the show girls go to the palaces and courtyards, first, to live more spaciously, and second, if it is their own girl, they can also live with themselves and say some considerate words." ”
"What can't you say in public?" The Empress Dowager Cixi teased and said to the Imperial Concubine Li, "But what you said is a good way, it's always a good thing for a big guy to be accompanied by a young girl." ”
