Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly remembered the title of "Protector" she received in the cathedral when she visited England before, this title is a bit of a joke, but it is true that in the missionary of Christianity in China, Empress Dowager Cixi pinched her nose to recognize it, but it was not so simple and freehand, "The Academy of Sciences originally wanted to appoint us Chinese as bishops, the Vatican still refused, the two countries have not established diplomatic relations now, many things are very troublesome, but these two things, it seems to be different, but speaking of which, think about it carefully." , are all disputes between China and foreign countries, foreign affairs and the old party, these things, it is indeed troublesome to say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Although the Empress Dowager Cixi said that she was not going to continue to talk about the affairs of the court, but in her position, no matter what trivial or interesting things can be related to the government, so this is also a matter of no way, she muttered a few words, and saw that Li Ju was silent and did not answer, so she came to her senses, "That's it, I'm old, I always like to think cranky, but let you sit here for nothing," she admired Li Ju very much, and her words were very decent, and she wouldn't just blindly say some flattering words, Nodding towards Li Ju, "Since you are in the garden, then stay with me for a few days and talk," Li Lianying reported that the residence had been arranged, "Then you can go to the residence first and take a look, if there is anything missing, just say it directly to Xiao Lizi, and let's go together after lunch." ”

Li Ju stood up and thanked him, and then withdrew, Li Lianying naturally would not send Li Ju in person, he pointed to a eunuch, and asked Li Ju to take the maid out of the Qinzheng Palace, out of the courtyard, the eunuch earnestly advised, "Miss pay attention to the steps under your feet." ”

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Gu Bai Sensen, not far from the team of eunuchs and palace maids, holding the things of the honor guard, among them was a young man, standing under the bright yellow canopy umbrella, and collided with Li Ju head-on.

The eunuch hurriedly called a thousand people to ask for peace, saying that long live the lord is auspicious, how did Li Ju not know that the person in front of him was the emperor Guangxu Ye of the current Qing Dynasty, so he also asked for hello.

The emperor nodded, "Get up," and when Li Ju stood up, he looked at the girl in front of him curiously, Li Ju looked down slightly, just looking at the ground, the emperor couldn't see her expression clearly, but how she looked, she could see it clearly, "You are Li Hongzhang's daughter?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers will be."

"Very good, Li Hongzhang is really hard outside," the emperor said, "You have entered the garden, but have you seen the queen mother?" ”

"I've already seen it," Li Ju said meekly, she couldn't figure out the emperor's mood at this time, so she had to reply with a quiet voice, and the eunuch on the side was amused, "The Empress Dowager asked Miss Li to stay in the Old Summer Palace for a few days, saying that she wanted to talk to Miss Li often." ”

"That's good," the emperor's heart moved, and he couldn't help nodding, "My father is still taking care of the government in the garden, and he is very busy. ”

Li Ju bent her knees slightly, "The courtiers don't dare to be." ”

The emperor nodded, it was not appropriate to say anything to the minister's daughter outside at this time, and crossed over Li Ju, "You can take care of yourself." ”

Li Ju took two steps back to show respect, and waited until Emperor Guangxu walked into the Qinzheng Hall with a team of people, she raised her head and looked at the emperor's back, she knew what was going on outside, this emperor was the inner nephew and outer nephew of the Empress Dowager Cixi, no matter what, they were the closest people, they were brought in at the age of five, and they have been raised in the palace.

"Miss," the maid on the side took advantage of the eunuch leading the way in front and leaned into Li Ju's ear and said softly, "The emperor is so young." ”

"You hoof," Li Ju scolded with a smile, "You actually raised your eyes and peeked?" It's really rude! ”

"Hehe, how dare I," the maid smiled secretly, "I just took a look at it so carelessly, she looks a little like the Queen Mother, both have a long face." ”

The two of them whispered like this, and they didn't seem to be sad at all, but when they crossed a stone arch bridge, they looked at the bright red petals floating on the water, which were slowly taken away by the flowing water, and they didn't know how.

The emperor entered the Qinzheng Hall and half-knelt down, "My son asks his father for peace." ”

"Did you see Li Hongzhang's daughter when you came?" The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and asked Emperor Guangxu to get up.

"I saw it, it was because my father was talking to her that my son didn't dare to come in without permission, so he waited outside for a while."

"You are too honest," the Queen Mother shook her head, "Now there are no people who are raised in the depths of the boudoir, and it is nothing to see them, you are all young people, and you must have something to say." ”

"Yes," the emperor nodded, and responded, he saw that the queen mother was in a good mood, so he proposed with great interest, "The weather is good today, and my father just rests, so my son dared to invite my father to listen to the play, and after entering the garden, the palace has not heard the play, and the son thinks that after a few days, I am only afraid that it will be hot, and at that time there is a summer heat, and it is even worse for the big guys to sit together and listen to the play comfortably." ”

"It makes sense," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the big guys are tiptoeing and waiting for me to pass the play, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, this afternoon, after we have slept in the middle of the sleep, and then listen to it lively, this matter, since the emperor mentioned it, then let you arrange the big guy," the emperor responded, "Let's listen to the play together, by the way, call the show girl in the garden, everyone has fun together, and it is more lively." ”

The emperor responded, so he said goodbye and went out, after a while, the whole garden will know, to two o'clock in the afternoon, everywhere with clothes and wind, flowers and jade faces, three three and two have arrived at the Changyin Pavilion, here is a three-story big stage, opposite the appreciation platform has two layers, for the emperor and concubines to watch the play.

The show girls followed the concubines of the main seats of each palace to arrive, but they did not deliberately put the show girls together, so as not to be embarrassed, but put chairs behind the concubines and concubines, and watched with the concubines and concubines of each palace.

The people of the Shengping Department have been arranged, and they are not as silent as on other occasions, and they are playing drums, trumpets and flutes, which are very lively, as a welcome song.
