Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That night, Xianfeng visited Chuxiu Palace again, listened to music and tasted chrysanthemum tea, and tasted Xingzhen's homemade snacks, which made Xianfeng Longyan very happy.  Xianfeng stayed in Chuxiu Palace for several nights. On this day, another decree was issued, and Lan Guiren was granted the title of concubine.

    The day after the decree was issued, the Chuxiu Palace was very lively. Lan Guiren finally won the favor and entered the position of concubine. Naturally, she had to celebrate greatly.  Kang Qi, An Dehai, Qidan and other old people in Chuxiugong were even more proud, and finally they were no longer bullied by the people in the palace.

    After celebrating, Andehai, Qidan and others all started crying loudly, as if whoever didn't cry sincerely didn't care about his master.  Xingzhen comforted her for a while before giving up.  When they heard that Xingzhen was married to the concubine, concubines such as Li Concubine and An Guiren, who had never come to meet her before, came to celebrate. Even Niu Gulu, who was already the queen, came to comfort her with warm words.

    This Niu Colu will be the future Empress Dowager Ci'an. Xingzhen knows this woman's background, and she is now a queen. Naturally, she does not dare to neglect, so she follows Kang Qi's instructions and makes friends with her.

    After some contact, Xingzhen discovered that Niu Gulu was indeed as recorded in the history books, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and gentle in temperament.  Xingzhen is also knowledgeable about the past and present, and has a wide range of knowledge (the advantage of a time traveler). At the same time, she has been carefully taught by Kang Qi. She can sing Kun Opera, knit and embroider, and is also quite exquisite in calligraphy and painting (Xingzhen's physical body has been able to do this before).  Therefore, the two women have quite a lot to talk about and get along extremely harmoniously.

    Kang Qi and Xingzhen confessed that at this time Xingzhen was far from being a match for the Niu Gulu clan, so they could only form a good relationship with them, and they could not be hostile to them because of their strong support.  Xingzhen deeply believed that in history, Cixi, until Ci'an died of illness, always regarded herself as her younger sister, even though Niu Gulu was two years younger than Xingzhen.

    And among the other concubines.  Sakda was the original wife of Xianfeng, but she fell ill in the last years of Daoguang.  Libi Tatarashi is also a weak woman, her character is even weaker than that of Niu Gulu, and she is no match for Xingzhen.  The rest, like Mei Chang in the Xu Jia family, Rong Chang in the Ergenjue Luo family, were of humble origins and could not make any waves.  The remaining two women are Xingzhen's biggest rivals at present. One is the concubine Suo Zhuoluo who entered the palace at the same time as Xingzhen and was granted the title of concubine earlier than Xingzhen.  The other is the Yun concubine Wu Jia. This daughter served Xianfeng in Xianfeng's mansion long before Xianfeng came to the throne.  Very senior.

    Xingzhen naturally disdained to play palace battles with these women. In her opinion, to get to the top now, she only needed to do two things well.  One thing is that the holy favor will last forever, and the best thing is to have a dragonborn first.  Although Xianfeng had many concubines, they had nothing to do.  Whoever gives birth to a dragon son first will have the upper hand.  In history, Cixi also gave birth to Xianfeng's only son, Emperor Tongzhi.  And became the Queen Mother of the West (Mei Chang also gave birth to a son in Xu Jia's family, but he died young).

    The second thing is that by always accompanying Xianfeng, he can get the opportunity to prepare memorials, thus beginning to influence political affairs and lay the foundation for the two palaces to listen to politics behind the curtain in the future.

    But now Xingzhen realizes that she has gained a new favorite, so she shouldn¡¯t take too big a step.  We can only make friends with the people in the palace first and figure it out slowly.

    After dealing with all the gods, it was already dark, and Xingzhen felt very tired.  After having dinner, I lay down on the couch in a daze.  Listening to An Dehai and Qidan talking to each other and telling each other about today's scene with great joy, Xingzhen only felt her heart aches.

    Who said traveling through the palace was fun?  Not fun at all!  Xingzhen felt like she was wearing a huge mask, and everyone she saw was acting.  When she was having sex with her nominal husband Xianfeng, Xingzhen felt like vomiting. She felt like a prostitute, selling her body in exchange for what she needed. The humiliation and helplessness were accumulated in her heart. Sometimes  Xingzhen really wanted to bite Xianfeng's squirming throat in one bite and end it once and for all.

    But she endured the humiliation in the end, because she still had a hope in her heart, and that hope was the Lu Sixuan she saw dressed as Ronglu!  Since Lu Sixuan has traveled through time, Xiao Yungui must also have traveled through time. She still wants to see him again!

    Therefore, sometimes in a daze, Xingzhen would imagine that the pockmarked man pressing on her was Xiao Yungui. When her body was happy, she would even keep shouting Xiao Yungui's name in her heart!

    "Master, our Chu Xiu Palace is very proud today. Those bastards who looked down on others before came to pay their respects one by one. It's really satisfying." Andehai said with beaming eyes.

    Qidan scolded: "Xiao Anzi, please keep your mouth clean in front of the master!"

    Xingzhen elegantly took out a piece of silk and wiped the corners of her eyes, then smiled and said, "Go on, I like to hear it."

    An Dehai was startled and said that Xingzhen had said something sarcastic again. He did not dare to say anything more at the moment, and only said: "Master, you have been wronged. It is the slaves who have been wronged that made the master suffer for so long."

    Xingzhen smiled and said, "Thanks to Aunt Kang and you this time, I can get ahead. Xiao Anzi, if you work with peace of mind, you will definitely notWaiting for you.  "

    An Dehai felt as if his bones were going crispy, and said hurriedly: "Master is blessed with great fortune, so he will naturally turn misfortune into good fortune. The slaves are just doing their own errands."

    Xingzhen hummed and asked, "Xiao Anzi, let me ask you, is there any news about Prince Gong these days?"

    Ande Hai was stunned and felt very strange. His master had never mentioned Prince Gong before. He didn't expect that he would mention it today. He quickly replied: "Master, Prince Gong rarely enters the palace these days. He only enters the palace early in the morning.  He left the palace when the dynasty was over, and he was like the most idle prince in the dynasty."

    Xingzhen leaned back and asked again: "Didn't the emperor assign him any errands?"

    Anderhai shook his head and said, "This slave doesn't know and has never asked about it."

    ??

    Andehai agreed, wondering in his heart that his master used to ask him to inquire about the news in the palace, but now why are Prince Gong and Sushun replaced?  Then he asked in a low voice: "Master, over here in the palace"

    Xingzhen said calmly: "You don't need to worry about the palace. Aunt Kang will inquire about the news. You should spend some time to find out the news about Prince Gong and Sushun. I only need to know their situation."

    Qidan and An Dehai looked at each other, a little confused, but Xingzhen knew in her heart how much influence Prince Gong and Sushun would have on her rise to power. Xingzhen knew that the person she was facing in the end was not these ignorant women and children in the palace.  , but a few men outside the palace!

    Xingzhen slowly closed her eyes.  Then he said: "But in the future, if you hear any trouble in the palace, you can come back and tell me, but you don't have to inquire. Although I have regained the favor of the palace, you slaves must not be arrogant and domineering. Take care of yourselves."  All the people under my command should keep their tails in check and behave themselves! Do you understand?" Ande Hai was startled and nodded quickly, and Qi Dan also agreed.

    Xingzhen looked at the two of them and said, "The emperor will definitely come over tonight. Qidan will prepare some things. I will make some snacks for the emperor as a late-night snack." Qidan and Andehai hurriedly prepared to go.

    But it was said that Xianfeng was absently watching the memorial in Dongnuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall.  Still worrying about the Changmao Rebellion, Hunan was still engaged in a tug-of-war, with both sides winning and losing. However, the news that Ronglu and the Hunan Army Zeng Guofan had recaptured Hengyang made Xianfeng excited for a while, but unfortunately it disappeared after that.  Victory.

    I came across a memorial by chance.  It is said that Du Shoutian, a co-organizer of the university, was infected with the summer epidemic during the relief work and died of illness in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an.  He is sixty-eight years old.  Xianfeng looked at it for a while and found it hard to accept.  I just felt that I had read it wrong, so I read it carefully several times. I couldn't help but feel sad. I bent down at my desk and cried bitterly, as if I was mourning a heir.  He threw the full list of memorials to the ground.

    Xianfeng held up the memorial and asked Peng Yi angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about Master Du's death earlier?"

    Peng Youyi hurriedly knelt down.  He said: "Your Majesty, I haven't been to the morning court in the past few days, and I haven't seen any ministers. All the adults had to hand in the papers. The servants don't know what's in the papers, so they don't dare to talk nonsense."

    Xianfeng knew that he had really not managed politics these days, but when he thought that Du Shoutian was his teacher and was very helpful to him in succeeding to the throne, he could be said to be his right-hand man, but he just left like this, feeling sad and crying again  When he got angry, Peng Youyi was anxious and didn't know how to persuade him.

    As usual, Andehai came to the Yangxin Hall, waiting for the little eunuch of the Yangxin Hall to come out. He pulled Xiao Dezi, who often gave him news, and asked: "Did the emperor turn over the cards tonight?"

    Xiao Dezi looked around and saw that there was no one around, and just said: "I heard the emperor crying inside. It seems that Mr. Du is missing. I don't know where he will go tonight."

    Ande Hai grunted, picked up some scattered silver and stuffed it over it, touched his chin and walked back, muttering to himself: "Master Du is gone? Master Du is gone?" Then he patted his forehead.  , said: "This is a big deal, please report back to the master quickly."

    In the Yangxin Hall, Xianfeng cried bitterly. Du Shoutian had very deep feelings for him.  In order for Xianfeng to ascend to the throne of God, he traveled around and taught in many ways. In Xianfeng's heart, he was actually half of his father, and his concern for him even exceeded that of Emperor Daoguang.

    But after Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, Du Shoutian did not enjoy a day of happiness, and he was still running around for Xianfeng's Qing Empire.  This time, there were serious disasters in Jianghuai and other places. In order to relieve the disaster, Xianfeng had no choice but to send him. Du Shoutian went there, but he died in office. Like Lin Zexu, the ministers he relied on left him one by one.  This time it was Du Shoutian, his teacher. Xianfeng felt deeply powerless and scared. A huge burden weighed him down and he really wanted to leave.

     

    Peng Yiyi's face twitched, and he quickly ordered someone to get the wine and brought it to him.

    Xianfeng grabbed the jug, got a full glass of wine, raised it high, and said, "Master Du, I respect you." After that, he spilled the wine on the ground, then raised the jug and drank.  Take a bite.

    Then he got another glass and said, "Mr. Du, I'm here to toast you." He spilled the wine again and took another big sip.

    Finally, he got another glass and said with a smile: "Old man Du, I'm here to toast you." He still spilled the wine, followed him and raised the jug, raised his head and drank non-stop. After a while, a jug of wine was actually poured out.  He drank it all in one gulp.  Old Man Du was a nickname given to Du Shoutian by Xianfeng in private, and he felt that the title was very affectionate.

    After drinking a pot of wine, Xianfeng felt a little drunk and shouted: "Bring more wine."

    Peng Youyi knew Xianfeng¡¯s temper very well, so trying to persuade him now was like asking for death, so he didn¡¯t dare to persuade him, so he served him another pot.  This time Xianfeng took it over and murmured something while drinking wine without stopping.  After a while, I finished drinking again.

    Peng Youyi knew Xianfeng¡¯s drinking capacity. This wine came from Moutai in Kweichow and was extremely high in alcohol content. After only drinking two bottles, Xianfeng must have been drunk. He thought to himself, would he die here tonight?  I don't know how Xianfeng would abuse the people in the palace when he was drunk.

    Xianfeng shook the wine pot and saw that no wine was flowing out. He burped with drunken eyes and said, "Peng Youyi, bring more wine."

    Peng Youyi knew this was an opportunity to run away, so he ran out to get the wine himself.  Sure enough, when Peng Yiyi came back after taking the wine, he only heard someone in the Yangxin Hall keep screaming, and his face twitched, thinking to himself that the unlucky guy was suffering. When he looked inside, he saw  It was Xiao Dazi from Yangxin Palace who was being kicked and kicked by Xianfeng.

    Peng Youyi was worried, not knowing whether he should go in or not. Suddenly he heard a clear and sweet voice behind him saying: "Eunuch Peng, what are you looking at here?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
