"Back to the Queen Mother, this is called 'bathtub', which is our ...... Bathtub. ”

Bathtub?! This...... Isn't that too big? Two people, three people to wash together, it's enough! You can swim in it!

On the side of this huge white porcelain "bathtub", there are also two bronze faucets, naturally one for cold water and the other for hot water, but the size is larger than the two in the "bathroom".

The "bathroom" also has a "washstand", and the wall above the table is also inlaid with a large goose egg mirror. The white porcelain "bathtub" is reflected in the mirror, and it is clear.

This...... When you take a bath, aren't the naked scenes all in the mirror?

The Queen Mother felt a strange feeling in her heart, her face couldn't help but feel slightly feverish, and her body felt more and more hot - this "heating pipe" with water vapor was too warm!

Out of the "bathroom", Guan Zhuofan said: "The Queen Mother has been tired on the road, and she has worked hard. Please change your clothes and freshen up first, take a nap, and then you can pass the meal. At noon, please take a good nap for the Queen Mother. The minister is in the camp, and there is still a little chore, which needs to be dealt with in the past, so Rong Chen kneels down first. Well, it is scheduled to be three o'clock in the afternoon, and the minister will come over to serve. ”

Cixi nodded and said, "You are busy with military affairs, so let's go." ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "The internal and external defenses of the Queen Mother's 'palace' have been arranged. As for the internal affairs of the 'Xinggong', the minister also arranged the person in charge, Xiao Lizi and Yu'er, if there is anything that is not clear, just connect with her. ”

After that, I walked to the head of the bed, and there was a silk rope hanging from the wall, and a small silver pull ring was hanging. Guan Zhuofan pinched the pull ring. Pull down. I just heard the sound of "ding dong" outside the room.

Guan Zhuofan said: "This room. The bedroom, bathroom, and washroom are all equipped with a 'bell', and if you need to be summoned to serve, you can pull this silk rope. ”

Hey, this thing is convenient, you don't have to shout at the top of your voice.

After a few moments, someone pushed the door open and stepped in. Enter the bedroom. But it was a woman in her thirties, with a delicate face, kneeling on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Slave Ding Hu, kowtow to the Queen Mother." With that, kowtow.

Guan Zhuofan said: "This Ding Hu clan is a member of the Han Army, he is diligent and careful, and during the Empress Dowager's stay in Tianjin, she took care of the chores of the 'palace'. Well. Hu's husband Ding also served in the Xuan Army, and Ding Shijie is a brother of Sanfu. ”

This Hu. has a good appearance and generous manners, Cixi has a good impression of three points first; Hearing that her husband "and Ding Shijie are brothers in Sanfu", I felt that it was necessary to make a slight false statement. She groaned for a while and said to Yu'er: "Take the pinch Jin Xiangyun chicken heart purse and reward it to the Hu family." ”

The queen mother's purse, under normal circumstances, is the dignity of the prince's family. This Hu family does not have any seals on him, as soon as they meet today, the Queen Mother of the Virgin will reward the purse, not only the Hu family, but even Guan Zhuofan is quite unexpected.

Hu Shi hurriedly kowtowed again: "Slave and maid thank the grace of the Queen Mother!" ”

At the third moment of Shen Chu, Guan Beile really stepped on a little bit and came to the palace again.

At that time, the Queen Mother was sleeping on the second floor, fiddling with a set of crystal carved "chess". Yu'er came in to report, Guan Beile asked to see him, and the royal sister said, "Call him up." ”

The Empress Dowager received the ministers in her bedroom, if you don't count the most difficult historical sites of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and Dolgon at the beginning of the country, this is about the first time of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this "foreign minister" did not stay in the "reception room" in the outer room, but went directly into the inner bedroom.

Cixi, who was sitting on the "sofa chair", turned her head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Guan Zhuofan was holding several big cardboard boxes in both hands, stacked them high, almost blocking his own head and face.

She said curiously, "What the hell are you doing?" What is this? ”

Guan Zhuofan first put a stack of large cardboard boxes on the carpet, and then saluted. After getting up, he said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has something to do." ”

Cixi turned her head to look at Yu'er, who hurriedly exited the inner room and closed the door.

Turning her head, Cixi smiled and said, "Okay, let's see what tricks you want to play?" ”

At this time, the Queen Mother had already changed out of her "big clothes", wearing a cheongsam with tender yellow satin and snow green sprinkled flowers, and she did not wear a shoulder; Without wearing a flag head, just like when he was in Shen Wanzhuang, his cloud-like hair was loosely pulled and hung down behind his back.

I took off my makeup before my lunch break, and I didn't apply grease powder to my face. But after a good night's sleep, the room was warm like spring, and the royal sister's fair face was soaked in a faint red cloud, and she looked radiant.

Guan Zhuofan's eyes moved downward, a pair of beautiful feet stretched out under the hem of the robe of the Queen Mother, and put on a pair of "big hair" slippers, the jade color was faint, and when he looked at it, he was barefoot, not wearing socks!

His heart was beating faster, and his mouth was starting to dry.

Seeing him stunned at her, Cixi couldn't help but panic, and whispered, "Hey, what are you doing there?" ”

Guan Zhuofan woke up and said secretly in his heart: "Do the right thing first!" Get down to business first! ”

So he collected his thoughts, opened several cartons on the ground one by one, and opened the lids one by one.

The first box opened, and Cixi was stunned: inside was a pair of long soft leather boots.

Isn't this the boot worn by the cavalry of the Xuan Army-Guan Zhuofan is wearing it now, what does this mean?

The second box was opened, and the clothes inside were neatly folded, but Cixi still recognized it at a glance: this was the "military dress" of the Xuan army—the kind of clothes worn by the two hundred "salute soldiers" who guarded Luan.

Inside the third box, there is a woolen daqi -- this is the standard clothing of the high-ranking generals of the Xuan army, and Guan Beile is wearing this kind of daqi.

The royal sister is extremely talented, Guan Zhuofan's intentions have vaguely guessed a few points, and the heartbeat that has just calmed down is faster again.

Inside the fourth box is a white shirt, a pullover sweater, a long-sleeved underwear mixed with cotton and wool, and long panties. These clothes, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary, also recognized, are all Xuan Jun's standard clothing - when he was happy with her, no matter how anxious Guan Zhuofan was, these clothes had to be taken off from his body one by one.

Guan Zhuofan said: "Empress Dowager, during the military parade, the holy car should be dressed before the three armies, in order to show the prestige of the army and inspire the morale. This is not only the practice of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, but also the common rule of all countries today. This is the complete set of winter 'military dresses' of the Xuan Army, which is customized because of the size of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is respectfully invited to serve before the battle. ”

Cixi's pair of beautiful phoenix eyes emitted light burningly.

During the military parade, she didn't think about what clothes she should wear. Before thousands of troops and guns, if you have a wide robe, step on the bottom of a pair of flower pots, and swing and swing - uh, that's not the case, right?

It's not that I haven't thought about the appearance of my helmet and armor. "The Son of Heaven's Soldiers" -- for example, the Holy Ancestor's three expeditions to Zhunger must be in the midst of the banner like a forest, the sword and the light like snow, hanging a sword and a bow, and wearing a full uniform, right?

Just thinking about such a situation makes my heart beat faster and my blood boils.

But she is a woman.

The "Military Parade of the Queen Mother", with countless floating discussions, was able to make the trip, which is already a miracle. If you put on the military uniform again, you don't know how the government and the opposition will be in and out of the uproar?

The curtain of the two palaces is no longer in line with the ancestral system; The military parade of the Queen Mother is unprecedented in history. If the queen mother of the military parade wears a military uniform, the strong symbolism in it, I don't know how many people will frown? Cixi knew that if Si Chen's rooster really put his hand into the army, how many clans and courtiers would tense their nerves, and even toss and turn!

After thinking about it, he finally didn't throw this question to Guan Zhuofan. It is not easy for him to fulfill the promise of the "Queen Mother's Military Parade" to himself, and it is not good to gain any more inches, which will add pressure to him.

Whatever he wants to wear, he wears himself.

Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to ask himself to "dress up in front of the royal array"!

Cixi tried to suppress her excitement and pretended to be thoughtful, in order to calm the ups and downs of her feelings slightly. After a while, he spoke, "What about the head?" Isn't it possible to comb a 'two-handful hair'? ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "Back to the Queen Mother, just wear a phoenix crown." The sable warm hat, the red velvet knot, and the golden phoenix and Dongzhu are not only noble, but also sassy, and the uniform is straight, which is very compatible. ”

Cixi thought about it carefully, and sure enough, this was the case. So finally stopped "holding", smiled brightly, and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”

Guan Beile also put on a smile and said, "In this case, the minister waits for the queen mother to change her clothes." ”

What the?!

Our Lady Queen Mother's face immediately flushed.
