XXXVII. The End of Heroes (1)
The Queen Mother's royal drive out of the Purple Light Pavilion, all the way to the North Sea and go, the Queen Mother sat on the sedan chair, squinting at the sun, the original solemn team today has added a lot of solemnity, in the past, Xiao Anzi, who was very good at gagging, is also as quiet as a girl who has not left the pavilion of the Eight Banners, and honestly supported the Queen Mother's sedan chair to walk forward, the Queen Mother looked at An Dehai's cautious expression, and couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Anzi, this body is not happy?" Why didn't you say a word? ”
Just bypassed a rockery made of stones in Taihu Lake, An Dehai carefully held the queen mother's sedan chair, and said with a reluctant smile, "Isn't everyone scared?" When you see Niangniang, you can say the words of foreign devils, not only scared the foreign devils for a while, but also frightened those of us who were waiting underneath, I don't know when Niangniang learned the bird language of foreign devils! ”
"What a bird language! "The Queen Mother smacked with a smile, "Then I'm not a birdman!" ”
An Dehai pretended to pat his cheek, "Ah, my mouth, it should be beaten." The Queen Mother laughed, "But the Queen Mother told the slave maid that the slave and maid also know the skills of the mother." ”
"Huh? Do you want to know? Xiao Anzi, then I'll tell you," the Queen Mother's eyes narrowed again, half-leaning back, looking a little confused and a little sad, not only Xiao Anzi came to be curious, even the eunuch who carried the sedan chair, and the palace maid who took the incense burner spittoon pricked up her ears, the Queen Mother seemed to be drunk in the spring sun, and after a while she came back to her senses, seeing An Dehai's eyes widening and looking at herself, the Queen Mother suddenly coughed, and her face became serious, "Before I entered the palace, I had a serious illness and was in a coma, I have to teach a white-bearded Taoist master to teach me all kinds of statecraft, and teach me the Chinese language, so that I can answer with Hurd fluently, how about it. An Dehai, is this palace powerful? ”
An Dehai showed a sluggish expression on his face, he couldn't walk, and he still moved forward in a sedan chair, which drove An Dehai forward, but he almost fell, "My Buddha." Mother, this is really. ,,, is amazing! ”
"Hahahaha," the Queen Mother's hearty laughter sounded, and the golden steps on her head swayed around, "Fool, I'm lying to you, and you believe it?" ”
"How can you not believe it? These things were originally there, the gods and Buddhas in the sky are bless Niangniang, Amitabha, immeasurable Tianzun, Niangniang is very blessed! ”
The Queen Mother pursed her lips, "If you don't believe it, forget it, don't spread it." It's a joke, you know? ”
"Yes, yes, the minion understands."
The Queen Mother obviously didn't know a word at this time: "If you want the rumors to spread quickly, the best way is to ban him." ”……
The king of alcohol was originally very ignorant of this foreign devil, and at first he was just sloppy and sloppy to obey the order, but Hurd was very enthusiastic. He is also familiar with the etiquette of Chinese officialdom, and will not make actions and words that offend people, plus deliberately make friends, before he has reached Yingtai, the king of alcohol has already been very good with Hurd, and has made an appointment to go out of Xiyuan and go to the cheap shop to eat roast duck together.
Hurd stood in the Hanyuan Hall of Yingtai. The scenery of the South China Sea, smiled at the King of the Alcohol, "Your Royal Highness, the scenery of the Chinese court is so beautiful, I really don't know what adjectives to use to express my feelings, in comparison, I must tell the truth, our Royal Highness the Queen of England's Buckingham Palace is just the house of a rich man in the country." ”
When it comes to superficial kung fu, the British are really first-class, and the king of alcohol is said to smile, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Mr. Hurd is too modest, how can your country be so shabby, if Mr. Hurd likes it, I will ask the Internal Affairs Department to find a few hot samples of this West Garden, and give them to the queen of your country, if you can also build a few oriental-style buildings in your country, it is also an interesting matter." ”
"What His Royal Highness the King of the County said is extremely true, then I will be disrespectful." Hurd bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, and the two of them walked out of the Hanyuan Hall under the leadership of the guard eunuch, walking on the crooked white marble railing, Hurd said casually, "Lord Junwang, although I may be a little rude, but I also want to ask, what kind of person is the queen mother of your country?" ”
"The Queen Mother is an old man who is smart and capable, when the first emperor was there, the national affairs were handed over to the Queen Mother and he came to the Council, even my sixth brother, in the past, the time to participate in political affairs was not as much as the Queen Mother, of course, there was Su Shun that kid back then, so the Queen Mother couldn't get an idea, just helped to come up with an idea, this south said that the Queen Mother is a rebellious nemesis, I thought about it a few times, but there is a little bit of truth, this is done, and the writing is brilliant," King Alcohol shook his head and recited the latest new words," Wu Gang took out the osmanthus wine, lonely Chang'e Shu Guang sleeves, this is also the new work of the Queen Mother, there was Nalan Xingde before the Dynasty, and now there is the Queen Mother, it can be said that Ye He is a double master, hey, you don't understand these. ”
"The most important thing is to have a benevolent heart, back then, Su Shun was so domineering, and dared to send assassins to assassinate the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also not to blame in the past and was exiled." The King of Alcohol County was interested, and he was vigorously promoting the exploits of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Hurd's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thoughtful, the two of them turned back and returned to the Purple Light Pavilion, this time was almost the same, the banquet had been prepared, and the two of them were ready to sit down to receive the banquet, at this time, a little eunuch clapped his hands and came in, and said to the King of Alcohol County, "The Seventh Prince, Long Live the Lord is here." ”
Before he could speak, a **-year-old boy in civilian clothes came in outside the Ziguang Pavilion, and called out "Seventh Uncle" to King Alcohol, staring at Hurd's eyes without turning, and King Alcohol County saluted, "Why did the emperor come here?" ”
"The emperor's mother came to Xiyuan, I was in a panic in the palace, no, Hongde Hall just got out of school, I came over to take a look," Emperor Tongzhi spoke to the king of Alcohol County, his eyes were just staring at Hurd, Hurd was neither humble nor arrogant, bowed to the emperor, and the blue eyes of Emperor Tongzhi were interested, and nodded, "You are Hurd?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, I am Hurd from England, greetings to you, and may you live a long and happy life." Hurd said with a slight bow.
"Thank you," Emperor Tongzhi smiled, "Your Chinese language is very good," the King of Alcohol invited the Emperor to sit down and dine together, and Emperor Tongzhi sat in the position of King of Alcohol County, very curious about Hurd, and asked some fantastical questions while eating, "Where is your country?" How long does it take to come by car? How old is your Queen? How long does it take? What are your country's specialties? Hurd replied one by one, describing everything in detail. (To be continued.)
