Chapter 55: A Life's Connection
Cixi, who looked calm and smiled, "brushed" it, and her face turned red. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Look at the little official?! She...... What does she mean?
Originally, according to Cixi's assumption, it was best to start from beginning to end with the affairs of the petty officials, whether it was "Dongbianer" or herself, and not a word should be mentioned -- this was not something that could be put on the table, even if this "table" was only a "table" between the two empress dowagers.
All matters involving petty officials were discussed and handled by himself and Guan Zhuofan in private, and "Dongbian'er" pretended not to know about this - just "will".
With her own understanding of "Dongbianer", this sister has a good heart and a soft heart, in the final analysis, she is willing to be kind to others, and in the context of not opposing Liniuer's succession and "three palaces and respect", she should reach this "tacit understanding" with herself in the matter of small officials.
Even if you have to mention petty officials, it should be at the most appropriate time, in the most euphemistic and subtle way, "point to stop", right?
Who thinks about it, as soon as he sits down, the first sentence is...... "Go see the little official"!
That's it...... Straight stabbed and stabbed out?
What does she mean? What does she want to do?
For a moment, I was at a loss.
However, there was no room for refusal in this matter, and Cixi snorted several times, and finally said in a low, almost inaudible voice, "Uh...... Good...... Good...... bar. β
Cixi's demeanor and words were abnormal, Ci'an naturally saw it in her eyes, her right hand was raised, as if she wanted to pat Cixi's hand as a sign of comfort, her hand moved, she felt that it was inappropriate, she took it back halfway, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Don't be careful, I just hang on to the child, and I don't have any other meaning." β
It doesn't mean anything else - the devil believes it!
"He's a little man," Cixi smiled reluctantly, "to be remembered by his sister is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life." β
I took a breath secretly, and said silently in my heart: No matter what, you can't panic, you can't mess up, it's still the same sentence - keep calm!
pulled the "pager" and passed Yu'er in.
When Yu'er heard the order of the Queen Mother, "I will accompany the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and go next door to take a look at the little official", she couldn't help but show an unbelievable look on her face, but the two Queen Mothers had already stood up, she didn't dare to say a word, and hurried forward to lead the way.
Sleeping in the "baby room" next door, just a few steps, just a few steps, Cixi was still turning her thoughts: "What is she going to do?" β
In fact, Cixi really thought too much.
Ci'an proposed to "look at the little official", it is indeed just out of "concern", just today, sisters, girlfriends have given birth, go to visit, greet each other, the first thing, naturally to take a look, tease the newborn baby, Ci'an Gui is the first person in the empire to be the mother of the queen mother, but in this regard, and ordinary women, there is no essential difference.
In Ci'an's mind, "pretending not to know about this" is wrongβbut it's too impersonal.
Sometimes, things in the world are so strange, the simplest and most direct action of an honest person can kill a scheming in seconds.
When they arrived next door, a nanny and a nursing mother saw the queen mother, and they were surprised and knelt down in a hurry.
Ci'an comforted him with a few words, and then came to the little official's bedside.
The little official was sleeping soundly, and his face was flushed.
When Ci'an saw it, the corners of his eyes, eyebrows, and mouth couldn't help but rise.
Cixi saw it in her eyes, and her heart moved slightly: this look...... It's not like it's a fake.
Ci'an looked at it for a while, turned his head, smiled, lowered his voice slightly, and said to Cixi: "Like you!" It's hard to say if it's like him, but it's really like you! β
Cixi smiled reluctantly: "Really? My sister has good eyesight, but I'm ...... I don't really see it. β
I thought to myself: Why do you keep saying "like you"? Is it to ...... Do you think I have an adulterous affair with someone and have a child?
Alas, sometimes, people who have too many eyes in their hearts think too much.
"It's not that I have good eyesight," Ci'an shook his head slightly, "It's you **** who meet with the little official, and if you see too much, you will inevitably be dazzled, and you can't be sure, is he more like Ama?" Or is it more like Eniang? As for me, the first time I saw it, I saw it more accurately. β
"Sister, that's ...... Interesting. β
"Isn't there a saying - I don't know the true face of Lushan...... Just in the mountains? β
"Yes, sister, that's what I said...... It makes sense. β
said this, but there was a slight movement in my heart: what do you mean? Are you ...... Implying something?
Eh, there really doesn't mean anything else, the Queen Mother finally remembered a Tang poem, seized the opportunity, and took it out to show off.
"Hey, you said, this boy was born like you," Ci'an's gaze turned back to the little official, "When you grow up in the future, how delicate will it be?" β
With that, he sighed softly.
I don't know what this sigh means? Cixi is not easy to speak.
Ci'an remembered something, both a little worried and a little curious, "It's okay to be a nanny, this ...... Nurse, is this one? β
"Yes."
"That'...... Aren't you afraid that there won't be enough milk? β
If it is in the palace, in the "raising group" of each prince, there are eight nurses who are errands.
"Don't be afraid," said Cixi, "this nurse has a lot of milk, and besides her, my own milk is not small." β
"Huh?" Ci'an was surprised, "You...... Parenting? β
"Yes."
"Ah......h
"It wasn't my own idea," said Cixi, "it was the doctor's idea, and it was...... It's good for children, it's actually good for mothers. β
After a slight pause, "I don't really understand the reason, but since the doctor said so, let's do it - this matter, well, too...... He asked him, and he ...... Yes yes. β
"Doctor?" Ci'an thought for a moment, "It's the one named Kusumoto Ina, right?" β
Hey, you know her, too?
"It's her."
"Well, this Nan Bendao has made a lot of efforts for you and the little official, this time, if I have time, I want to see her and reward her with something."
Cixi's heart jumped again, "This ...... I've promised her a four-grade ......."
"Ah, that's goodβbetter than rewarding things!"
After a pause, Ci'an sighed and said, "Hey, this time, what you did with your mother can be regarded as truly authentic!" β
paused again, "If it's in the palace, let alone your own milk and your own child, you can't hug or touch it!" Ughβ"
Cixi echoed and said, "What my sister said is - that's not the case! β
Ci'an looked at the little official, sighed softly, and said, "Okay, I've seen the child, and my heart is relieved, let's go back, stay any longer, I'm about to wake up the child." β
Cixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say "yes", when she saw the little official on the small bed, twisting his hands and feet, "wow", and woke up.
Everyone thought that the little one would cry next, but he stared, left and right, and finally, his eyes fell on the only stranger, Ci'an, and then smiled.
This smile made Ci'an's bones soft with laughter, and a thought suddenly popped up, and she couldn't help but say in a trembling voice: "Can I ...... Hug him? β
Yes?!
Cixi quickly turned her mind around, and made a decision in an instant: "Of course you can!" β
Ci'an looked at a loss, "But, but, I won't hold the child......"
"I'm here to teach my sister!"
After some chicken hands and duck feet, the little official finally hugged Ci'an's arms.
In his life, Ci'an had never done such a nervous movement, his muscles were tense, and his forehead and back were oozing sweat.
Cixi stared at it with a good eye from the side, and was ready to catch the little official as soon as the "eastern" "missed".
Of course, this "once" situation has never appeared.
The little official's little hand danced very vigorously, not long after he was born, his arm was still not straight, Ci'an couldn't help but bend his face, the little official's little hand touched her face, "babbling" and laughing.
The moment the small soft fist touched the cheek, Ci'an trembled as if it had been electrified, and her eyes were already a little sour and hot, and at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore, tears burst out of her eyes, and she was already hazy in front of her, she couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted: "I...... I can't see clearly, ...... Pick up the kids! β
The nurse hurriedly stepped forward and took the little official over.
As soon as he left Ci'an's embrace, the little official immediately cried loudly.
Ci'an hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
The little official cried louder and louder, no matter how much the nurse coaxed, Ci'an couldn't help it, "Hey, it's still ...... Give me another hug. β
So, the little official turned back into Ci'an's arms.
It's also strange to say, as soon as he entered Ci'an's arms, the little official immediately stopped crying and laughed again.
Ci'an only felt that there was a small hand, gently plucking the softest string in her heart, and her nose and eyes were hot again, but this time, she finally held back and didn't let the tears flow.
However, she knows that from now on, my life will be inseparable from this little person in my arms.
Yu'er looked at Cixi's color, and said with a cautious smile: "It seems that our little officials and the queen mother are ...... It's very fateful! β
Cixi's state of mind at this time was extremely complicated, but her face was very calm, and she said: "He can fall in love with the Queen Mother, that is his creation!" β
The Queen Mother smiled.
The little official stayed in Ci'an's arms like this, and several women, using children as a topic, said a lot of things.
In the meantime, Cixi said: "Sister has been hugging for a long time, it's weird and tired, I'll take the place." β
Ci'an hesitated for a moment, and said, "I turned my hand, I'm afraid he'll cry again - I'm not tired, let's wait until he falls asleep." β
Cixi's eyes flashed.
"This ...... But it's hard sister. β
"It's okay - I'm not tired!"
In this way, it was not until the little official fell asleep again that Ci'an handed him back to his nurse and put him back on his own cot.
From beginning to end, Cixi has never been able to "replace her".
