XXXVII. Other Drawings (4)

The emperor got up and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, and the ministers of military aircraft had already dispersed, so they discussed for half an afternoon and an hour or two, and finalized several major events, under the high-intensity load, the emperor was a little tired, he stretched his waist, rubbed his wrist, he wanted to come and go, and always wanted to go there for a walk, "Let's go for a walk," the emperor said.

"It's almost time for dinner, long live you?"

"It's still early, don't be in a hurry," said the Emperor, who had some other thoughts, "go around and see the other places." ”

The eunuch who was waiting next to him obviously understood where the emperor was going and what he wanted to do, so he agreed with a smile, "Yes, long live the lord, the slave heard that there are many show girls living there in the wind and lotus of Qu Yuan, do we want to go over and let these show girls have the honor to see the dragon face of the long live lord?" ”

"Nonsense!" Emperor Guangxu scolded with a smile, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, what kind of nonsense is he saying." ”

The eunuch lightly slapped himself in the face twice, "Ouch, long live the anger, the slave's mouth is really cheap!" ”

The emperor raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "The wind and lotus in the Quyuan courtyard are not far away, the weather is gradually getting warmer, this season, he can't compare to any flower as the lotus, let's go and take a look." ”

The emperor and his entourage passed the Bitong Academy, and then walked more than a mile to the north to the Quyuan Fenghe, only to see the main hall in a row of five, modeled after the Hangzhou West Lake Quyuan reconstruction, Fuhai introduced the water to dig a big pool, across the pond there is a nine-hole big stone bridge. Imitating the wind lotus scenery of Hangzhou West Lake Quyuan, lotus flowers are planted all over the lake, the wide and large dark green lotus leaves are illuminated by the scorching sun, the endless turquoise ocean is blown by the evening breeze in summer, setting off green waves, hulala, the lotus leaves turn out the light green leaf back, Qi Qi fell slightly, and returned to its original state in a blink of an eye, light green and turquoise light and shadow change under the illumination of the hot sun, one after another, in the sea of leaves, floating with the white lotus swaying with the wind. At this time, the lotus flowers are not open, but there are a few precocious ones vying to bloom, but only a few sporadic points, a lot of acacia flowers are planted on the lakeside, and a pink cloud is lying on the bank of the lotus leaf lake, which is very good-looking, the eunuch's eyes are sharp, and he saw a few figures on the Jinao Jade Frog Bridge, "Long live the lord, you see?" He pointed to the nine-hole bridge, and Emperor Guangxu's heart suddenly jumped more anxiously, his eyes stared at the shadow on the bridge, and grabbed the eunuch, "Quick, quick," he said two times in a row, "Let's go and take a look." ”

The emperor walked quickly to the embankment of the Jinao Yushu Bridge, here is completely imitated by the West Lake's Quyuan wind lotus plus a little Su Causeway, the two sides of the embankment are planted with weeping willows, lush, very beautiful, the emperor walked to the bridge and then slowed down, the willow trees on both sides are dense, the people on the bridge also seem to be talking about something and did not notice the arrival of the emperor, the emperor took the eunuch's hand, climbed the steps, smiled and looked at a few show girls with their backs to themselves, I don't know what I saw, but he lowered his face and put down the hand on the eunuch's hand, looked at the person on the spot with his hands behind his back and said coldly, "You are so bold," a female voice that was very familiar with a eunuch sounded, why is it so familiar, the eunuch who served the emperor was a little strange, he secretly raised his head and glanced at it, only to feel that he was almost about to be scattered, just in the morning, he happened to see this person, the female voice continued to sound, "We are all the same show girls, there is no distinction between high and low, why do I think that sister, you, are missing some etiquette today?" ”

The emperor looked coldly at the woman who spoke, it was Yehenara Jingfen who had met at the Yunhuang Imperial Concubine before.

Jingfen and Wu Zhirou saw that the emperor came out of the water orchid, and knew that there was political affairs in front of them, although the two of them were from official eunuch families, one was a relative, and the other was in charge of military power, it should be said that the affairs of the court and politics should be very proficient, but the two of them did not talk about anything about the outside, in fact, there are a lot of things about the queen mother in Guixiang's family, and Wu Zhirou's family will naturally have no less military affairs.

But the two of them didn't talk about these bad things, just talked about some trivial things, the two of them walked around, and soon arrived at the wind and lotus in the Quyuan, and then went south to Kyushu, Kyushu is the place where the emperor and the closest concubines lived, and the status in the Old Summer Palace was extremely high, the Bitong Academy that the Empress Dowager Cixi liked to live in the past is one of the nine scenic spots in Kyushu, and it is not suitable for two people to go south again, so they walked around on the left, and the two women talked about it quite tacitly, and they were relatives before, Today, the chat was very agreeable, so it was quite warm, and the two of them walked to the foot of the Jinao Jade Bridge, "The lotus flowers here look really good," Wu Zhirou took a handkerchief to cover the sunlight on his head, and looked around, "I went to Haidian with Ama in the old year, there are also many lotus flowers, wild ones, not as good as the ones in the palace, and they are also lush." ”

"The lotus roots outside are all self-reliant, especially those in the field," Jingfen also wiped the fine sweat from her ears with a handkerchief, "There are people to take care of them every day, fertilizing and catching insects, and spring irrigation, and there are no unwarranted disasters." ”

"Cousin's words have a lot of meaning," Wu Zhirou waved her fan, and she smiled at Jing Fen narrowly, "Cousin feels nostalgic for herself." ”

"What do I have to feel for myself."

"Still say no?" Wu Zhirou sneered, "We have all entered the palace, to tell the truth, if there is no other accident, we always have to go through it in front of the emperor, my cousin's family background and character, this will definitely be selected, if it is selected, then wouldn't it," she took the fan and gestured at the lotus leaves in the pond, "Isn't it just like the lotus root in this lake, all of them have been carefully cared for." ”

Jingfen's face turned red with shame, and she stomped her feet and said angrily, "What a Rou'er, you actually came to make fun of me, how can I spare you?" She stepped forward and grabbed Wu Zhirou's sleeve, "Then why don't you say it, the emperor will definitely take a fancy to you and take you into the palace to take care of you?" ”

"I don't want to enter the palace, I'll tell you the truth, cousin," the two of them had a fight, and Wu Zhirou suddenly said, "The days in the palace, I can't get used to it, everyone is pampered by themselves, although the palace is good, the rules are big, you also went to a women's school, you know the outside things, in today's world, where are there such big rules in the palace?" When you see people, you have to salute and say hello at every turn. (To be continued.) )
