Remove the curtains?

These two words, as soon as they popped out of her mind, aroused Cixi's instinctive, strong resistance, disgust, and even fear.

After the curtain is removed...... What do I do?

I'm only in my early thirties, and I'll be in the rest of my life!

In her mind, there were a few lonely, slow, and rickety figures, which were the concubines left behind by Xuanzong, who now lived in Cining Palace, and the only thing they could use to pass the time was to make a little needle and wipe a tooth card......

No, no, Cixi said loudly in her heart: I don't want to become like that!

At the same time, she was also quite surprised-

I thought that "Dongbianer" and the two of him must be wearing the same pair of pants, but now it seems that they are ...... Not really!

Thoughts fluctuate, hearts fluctuate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a long while, Cixi said in a trembling voice: "Sister's meaning, 'inherit the pattern of Emperor Mu Zongyi's era', please continue to listen to the government until Li Niu'er reaches the age of eighteen, and ...... at all Not what he intended? He's ...... at all Take this...... Fooling us here? ”

Ci'an glanced at Cixi a little strangely: This sister, seeing the subtleties, is the smartest, why, I said such a big article, what else do you ask "his original intention"?

"It's hard to say that," Ci'an said gently, "to tell you the truth, whatever he meant it, I ...... I don't think we have to speculate on this...... The current situation is that the matter is clearly there, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, it is no longer appropriate to 'inherit the pattern of the era of Emperor Mu Zongyi'. ”

After a pause, "If we have to play stupid, just follow his words and follow the pole...... Uh, this, refusing to move the nest, then, this 'curtain to listen to the government', will definitely ...... 'hanging' the problem, 'listening' the problem! Moreover, if there is no problem, it is enough, and once it comes out, it must be a big problem! When the time comes, 'remove the curtain', and it will be ...... Ugly! ”

Cixi's heart was shocked.

"There's really something wrong," Ci'an smiled slightly wryly, "Don't think about it anymore, you can still take it...... The way to deal with the Lu family's matter, to treat him, it was-"

Speaking of this, Ci'an shook his head slightly and resolutely, "It's absolutely impossible!" ”

This-

Alas! Cixi admits in frustration: It is indeed impossible!

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, even if he still 'inherits the pattern of Emperor Mu Zongyi's era,'" Ci'an said, "let's sit behind that curtain, don't we...... Alas, to put it mildly, that ...... Marionettes? That...... What can it taste like? Sister Rei and I ...... That's it, can you bear that temperament? As the days go by, something has to happen! ”

The words "marionette" greatly stimulated Cixi, and she raised her eyebrows, "Sister, you mean, he dares?" ……”

Ci'an stared at Cixi and shook his head slowly: "I don't know if he dares or not...... I told you - what he meant by it, let's ...... Don't speculate. ”

After a pause, "I mean...... Alas, I'm stupid, I don't know how to make it clear? Well, let's put it this way, sometimes, two people, the distance from each other, a little farther away, polite, peaceful, this, hello and me! However, if the distance between each other is too close, bumping around, and the days are a little longer, it will ...... You don't like it, I don't like you, I see you don't like it, so ...... Something is going to happen! ”

Cixi was amazed: how did this stupid sister come up with these truths?

A thought popped up: Is this really her "own meaning"?

She hung her head, silently thinking.

"He's a person," Ci'an said calmly, "I think, especially such a person—if you don't force him, he treats you better than anyone else; But if you force him, he will turn around and bite ......."

Speaking of which, it is really not appropriate to say the words "bite you", and swallowed back the words "you take a bite", but the words that followed were still said: "...... But it's a little more ruthless than any one. ”

Cixi's heart shook slightly: he ...... Is that really the kind of temperament? I've never thought about it......

Suddenly, her heart moved: Is the relationship between me and him ...... Did it start to get bad from the Lu family?

At that time, he was so dazed by the Lu family that he used both soft and hard measures, and finally forced him to do it himself, driving the woman out of Beijing and all the way to Hong Kong - this can be regarded as "forced", right?

He deposed him out of the Hongde Palace, especially felt insufficient, and tossed until he was prostrate in front of him, crying bitterly, repenting and pleading, and he was comfortable, and only then did he feel that he had finally been subdued - this is even more "forced", right?

Lu is his beloved woman, and he "drives his love"; On the table, he did not have any dereliction of duty, but he repeatedly humiliated him-

Can he not complain?

He, able not to ...... Hate yourself?

Cixi's back was cold, and cold sweat came out!

Ci'an didn't know that Cixi's thoughts had returned to a few years ago, and she said to herself: "Also, I know that you are probably not very ......happy to be the heir of the emperor, Liniu'er."

Cixi was startled and woke up from the chaos of thoughts, "What did my sister say?" It's a good thing for Liniuer to be the heir of the emperor, how could I not be happy? ”

"Alas, it's time like this," Ci'an frowned slightly, "between our sisters and sons, we don't have to-"

After a pause, "You don't want Liniu'er to be the heir emperor, this is ...... It's normal for people to change me to you, and it's about the same, hey, it's not strange at all! ”

paused again, "First, you and Sister Li, after all, there is still a pimple in your heart; Second, Pingsu, Liniuer and you, you two mothers, are not so cordial to each other......"

"Sister, I don't ......"

"Hey, you listen to me first."

Cixi was silent.

"I admit it," Ci'an sighed, "Sister Li and I are closer, and Sister Li Niuer and I are also closer, but what kind of temperament are they and their mothers and sons, you know the roots, you think about it carefully-think calmly, Li Niuer has become the heir of the emperor, and Sister Li has become the queen mother, they are both mothers and sons, is it ...... Will it be bad for you? ”

Cixi did not speak.

"Let's not talk about the temperament of their mother and son—they are both very gentle temperaments, very soft hearts, and excellent hearts! - Let's talk about how you treat them first, hey, well, that's really not what you said! ”

After a pause, Ci'an continued, "You and their mothers and sons, although there are fewer contacts with each other, but when you become the queen mother, the first thing you do is to ask Emperor Muzong to issue an order to change Sister Li from 'Concubine Li' to 'Concubine Li' and directly promote 'Concubine Li'!" This is a rare grace! It's very outstanding! In the palace and outside the palace, up and down the government and the opposition, which one doesn't say, you are broad-minded and big-minded? ”

This-

Hey, that's really the case.

Wenzong ascended to the throne and Mu Zong succeeded to the throne, and the "Concubine Li" at that time bypassed the "Concubine Li" and directly promoted to the title of "Emperor Li's Concubine" with "serving the emperor for a year and giving birth to a princess".

To explain, "Concubine Ligui" is just a common name, and at present, her official title is still "Concubine Lihuang".

"And Liniu'er," Ci'an continued, "To tell the truth, no matter how painful she is, it is not from the main palace, according to the rules, she could only be named 'Princess Heshuo', and it was also proposed by you to be named 'Princess Gulun'." ”

This is also true.

Concubine Ligui and Cixi have the hatred of "grabbing favor", Cixi will never like this woman in her heart, but it is precisely because of this layer of "festivals" with each other - Ci'an said "you and Sister Li, after all, there is still a pimple in your heart" - after "hanging the curtain", Cixi wants to "unusually promote" her former rival and her daughter, so as to show the subjects of the world that the Queen Mother is broad-minded and tolerant of the world.

Anyway, everyone is now a widow, and it is impossible for him to pose any threat to himself.

Although Ci'an and Concubine Ligui's mother and daughter have a good relationship, because of the "festival" between Concubine Ligui and Cixi, Ci'an must not take the initiative to speak and give Concubine Ligui's mother and daughter "grace beyond the qualifications". The first thing to thank for the "super-promotion" of Concubine Ligui's mother and daughter is really not the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother.

"People's hearts are made of flesh," Ci'an said, "let alone people like Sister Li, Liniu'er and her mother?" The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention, this is not as simple as 'the grace of dripping water'! You say, after Liniuer ascended the throne, how could she be bad to you? ”

Concubine Ligui's mother and daughter will never like themselves - just like she doesn't like them, at this level, Cixi is very sure, but it is one thing to like it or not, what Ci'an said is another thing - what she said seems to be ...... There is some truth to this.

"According to my opinion," Ci'an said slowly, "compared to Liniu'er being the heir of the emperor, it is really unreliable to carry a small doll from the 'Yuanzhi' side!" ”

"This ......"

"That Wu Ke read the fold and said," Ci'an said, "As long as you choose a very young person who is still in infancy from the word 'carry' and becomes the heir emperor, then the heir emperor will be in the deep palace when he is young, and he will be raised by the queen mother herself, well, this ...... In the future, the emperor will regard the queen mother, and he will naturally be closer than his own 'biological mother', so he will not make a 'big gift discussion' about it——"

After a pause, "But, hey, Wu Ke doesn't know what to read, but we do-the so-called 'raised by the Queen Mother herself', our sisters and sons are just a name, and the ones who really take care of the children are still nannies and nurses!" We...... I still don't even have a chance to hug my child! 'raising' a child like this, the child is not the meat that fell from your body, when you grow up, how dare you say that he is closer to the queen mother than to his own biological mother? ”

"This ...... It's also ......."

"This truth," Ci'an's eyes were shining, "I didn't understand it too much before, but now that I see the little official, I can understand it completely!" Alas, like you and the little official, it's called ...... Real with kids! When the child grows up, he can really be with you! ”

Petty Officer...... When you talk about "little officials", there is something wrong in your eyes, I ...... Alas, be careful!

"However, in the palace," Ci'an continued, "no matter what, it is impossible to bring the emperor with a big heir like you raised a petty official." ”

After a pause, "The one who came over is really a kind-hearted person, it's okay to say; In case, a white-eyed wolf is brought over, you say, what can I do? ”

This is a high argument...... Hey!

It's really "three days of Shibei, when you look at each other"!

It's just that I don't know, how much of this high argument is your own idea, and how much is someone else's knife?

However, although Cixi admits that what Ci'an said has a certain truth, if the heir emperor is really a "little doll" from the distant branch, and the empress dowager of the two palaces really continues to "listen to the government", then Cixi thinks that she has a way to control the heir emperor when she grows up, and the person she relies on is not something like "mother-son affection" and "admiration and affection".

However, these things can't be put on the table, let alone told Ci Anming.

"And the Summer Palace......"

Summer palace?

Cixi's heart jumped: By the way, the Summer Palace, how could I forget the Summer Palace?
