"Lafayette's will is to say that it is all his own relatives, don't do such a big gift, it is good to be affectionate, please wait in the palace."

"What's this," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "King Li is willing to gamble and lose, this can't be wrong, we don't have to be polite, we want to hear and see whatever we want, the repertoire in the booklet, everything must be lit." ”

The emperor was very happy, and of course Prince Li was also happy, he said playfully, "I can let Xisheng and the emperor come in person, the whole family of the slaves is very happy, how dare you not serve wholeheartedly, the troupe outside has long been prepared, although these are not as good as the offerings of the Internal Affairs Office, but they are fresh and chic, just waiting for the hand-picking." ”

At this time, there are too few entertainment activities, although the concubines are quite comfortable in the Old Summer Palace, the main activity to pass the time to relieve boredom is to listen to the play, which will hear what fresh drama troupe, the concubines can't help but smile, the concubine Li Huang Guifei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "This is all thanks to the blessing of Prince Li!" ”

Prince Li knew that Concubine Li was the first person to be proud in front of the Empress Dowager, so he hurriedly said that he didn't dare, "This is what you should do," Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Bet you lost the host, don't be unconvinced!"

The Emperor echoed and said, "Yes, there is a gurgling water, and I don't feel hot. ”

Prince Li personally took the excerpt of the play and came up, "Please Lafayette order the play." ”

Concubine Li sighed, and the Queen Mother turned her face, "Who is there over there?" Concubine Li said nervously, "Dressed, it seems to be Western clothes?" ”

"Oh, it's the Japanese ambassador Tomita Yoyuki," Prince Li hurriedly explained, "This is also the glory of the slaves, and Baba has invited some envoys to come and wait for the Queen Mother to watch the play!" ”

The emperor and the others saw a pavilion on the right, with a few tables set up, and all kinds of men wearing suits and tuxedos sitting on the side, and then they knew that there were still foreign guests present today.

"Why does your house still have any connection with foreigners?" Emperor Li's concubine waved the spring peach and willow embroidered rosewood ivory handle fan in her hand, and said with some displeasure, "These foreigners are not a good thing, the prince is still on guard, who invited them?" ”

Emperor Li's concubine is because of the death of Emperor Xianfeng in the past, so she is extremely unpleasant to the foreigners, after saying this, the queen mother glanced at Prince Li, and Prince Li hurriedly replied, "The slave should die, it is the slave who is ready to have a long face, so he invited the envoys of various countries to come, it is really damned, the slave will invite them out!" ”

"What's this, don't rush, the person who comes is a guest," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded to the Imperial Concubine Li, "King Li is the minister of the military aircraft foreman, and he is in charge of the affairs of foreigners, how can he not deal with it?" Don't play with the child's temper, oh, Yixuan is here too? ”

Prime Minister Yamen Yixuan smiled with a smile on his face, and made a thousand cleanly, "Yes, the slave has begged for a long time, and the prince of Li is merciful and allows the slave to come and serve, otherwise the slave will not be able to see Tianyan!" ”

"What you said," the Queen Mother smiled slightly, "It's like you haven't seen each other for a long time, when did you hand over the sign to the emperor and I won't see you?" It's best for you to come today, those ambassadors are all handed over to you, don't make any trouble, especially some countries, now that they have just settled the dispute with us, it's okay if you don't know how to play," the Queen Mother said meaningfully, "Don't just applaud." ”

Yi Liang said yes, "I know you are not happy to see foreigners," the Queen Mother smiled at Li Guifei Ying Guifei and others, "But since I have come to entertain and eat, I will accompany the foreigners to eat with the emperor today, but in front of the foreigners, you can't miss the courtesy, little Lizi," Li Lianying responded, "The imperial dining room, keep an eye on it, bring up anything delicious and drinkable, don't be stingy and don't give it, our Celestial Empire's diet is the best, this is a good opportunity to let the foreigners see and understand."
