Seventh, Chuxiu Palace

There is no half of the clouds in the blue sky, the pigeon whistle loudly swept over the blocky sky of the red wall and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, the carriage drove to the Shenwu Gate, Xingzhen still got off at the Shunzhen Gate, stepped on the bottom of the flower pot, walked through the imperial garden, walked through the Shufangzhai, a smile is the reflection of the years, Xingzhen is different from the general woman's anxiety and sorrow, she is bold and ambitious, her body and mind are calm, and the fighting spirit is high.

In front of the Qianqiu Pavilion is Xingzhen's current residence - Chuxiu Palace.

Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Xingzhen slowly walked into Chuxiu Palace, under the eaves of the main hall is a pair of vivid and vivid copper deer, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard are deep, quiet and rich.

Chuxiu Palace, built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the original name Shouchang Palace, Jiajing fourteen years changed its name to Chuxiu Palace, the Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi 12 years and Jiaqing seven years twice renovated, the Qing Dynasty made a great transformation of this AD: the Chuxiu Gate was demolished, the apse of Yikun Palace was changed into a corridor before and after, and the body and hall of five rooms were wide. The two halls are inverted palaces, with deep and ornate verandahs leading to the main hall.

Chuxiu Palace is a single-eaves hilltop type palace, with five rooms wide and a front porch. Under the eaves of the bucket arch, the east and west with the hall for the Yanghe residence and the slow blessing hall, the face is three pieces wide, it is a hard hilltop structure. The apse is five rooms wide, the single eaves are the top of the mountain, and the east and west side halls are respectively the Fengguang Room Yilan Pavilion.

"Storage" is storage and accumulation, "show" means beautiful, and Chuxiu Palace means "accumulating beautiful people and things". The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the two empresses of the Jiaqing Emperor, the Xitara clan and the Niu Hulu clan, both used this as their sleeping palace. After Xingzhen, the last queen Wanrong also lived here.

The eunuch Tang Wufusheng, the leader of Chuxiu Palace, was white and pure, and his eyes couldn't see when he laughed, and he was hanging his hands and preparing to listen to the call of the new Lan nobles who entered the palace. I have long heard that this Lan nobleman in Yanhui Pavilion was a blockbuster that day, and Tianyin personally named the nobleman on the spot! I also gave Chu Xiu Palace to live, and when I saw it today, it was really an extraordinary flower, and it was a few more generous and refreshing than those quail-like promises that others did not have.

Xingzhen looked around and spoke: "There is no one else living in this palace?" ”

"Back to the nobles, you live alone in this palace, you see, which one do you want to be your bedroom? I'll tell the little eunuchs to put your luggage back away!" ”

"My position is not in line with the main hall, so I will live in the phoenix room in the apse."

"Wow!"

A group of palace maids and eunuchs were busy for a while, and after packing up the things, Xingzhen ascended to the seat, and a group of palace people came to make a formal meeting gift, in addition to the chief eunuch Tang Wufu, there was also Xiao Zhuzi Xiao Xiazi, and the palace maid was an aunt named Anqian (Jin Zhi wanted to get in!). Leading three little palace maids: listening to the clouds and hugging the snow flowers.

Xingzhen was silent with the bowl of tea that Fan'er had saluted, and the palace maid who knelt on the ground together secretly thought in her heart: The new master is going to stand up.

In fact, Xingzhen was very excited: I went away, I had to work hard to serve my delicate girlfriend in my last life, and there are so many people serving me in this life, Lao Tzu is really worth it!

Fan'er pulled Xingzhen's sleeve, Xingzhen woke up in obscenity, wiped the non-existent saliva, waved her hand, and said lightly:

"Get up, see me for the first time today, this ceremony is indispensable, and there will be no need to make such a false ceremony in the future, now I only brought a sail into the palace, and I have to work hard for you." Everyone didn't dare, "It's easy to do errands here that are easy to do, but it's hard to do!" It's easy to do as long as I tell you, you can do what you should do, go back to your room to rest, go out for a walk, and you don't have to follow me all the time. It's hard to say, it's because my temper is not very good! There is no room for the unfaithful! In this Chuxiu Palace, I am the only master! It's okay if you don't know how to do things, don't do those things that are crooked! If there is such a person, I will be the first to go back to the emperor and send it to the Shen Punishment Division to let those Jingqi grandmothers toss you! ”

"Fan'er, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, do things well, and there will be your benefits in the future!"

"Thank you!"

"Tang Wufu, what's going on today?"

"Back to the master, there is news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, today you are tired of the little main boat that has entered the palace, please rest for a few days, you don't need to go to the imperial concubine to ask for peace recently, and then go to Shoukang Palace to thank you when you go to bed."

The Imperial Concubine? Isn't that the biological mother of Prince Gong's sixth master?

"Got it, you guys go down first, don't worry about me, Fan'er, come and help me loosen my clothes, I'll sleep to make up for sleep."

"Yes."

At the end of June of the second year of Xianfeng, the king of the Western Dynasty, Xiao Chaogui, heard that Changsha's troops were empty, and led a partial division to attack Changsha, and was seriously wounded during the siege of the city on July 12. Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing hurriedly led the main force to Changsha City after hearing the news, but at this time the Qing side had gathered heavy troops, and the Taiping army had not succeeded in attacking Changsha for nearly three months, and withdrew the siege and went north to conquer Yuezhou. The granary of the world was rebelled by the long-haired rebels, and the price of grain in Beijing rose in response, reaching as much as three taels of silver per bucket, which was more than double the previous year.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Emperor Xianfeng smashed a green jade ink inkstone and was furious: "Huguang is full of waste!" Decree: The governor of Huguang was dismissed on the spot and immediately escorted to Dali Temple in Beijing for questioning! The governor of Hunan was deaf and incompetent, beheaded! Political envoys and other officials below the provincial level were demoted to three levels to watch the aftermath! The Military Aircraft Department plans to come up and fill the hole in Huguang! ”

The ministers of the military aircraft kneeling on the ground trembled, looking at those puppet-like ministers, Emperor Xianfeng didn't even have the strength to reprimand, "Kneel down!" The ministers of the military aircraft cabinet hurriedly accepted the order and knelt down and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Not even a single one to come up with an idea! Just watched the situation in Huguang erode so far! "Every time I am exhausted, Emperor Xianfeng is very envious of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there is a cabinet support outside, and a group of eunuchs inside to help approve the red, just have fun by yourself, why don't you even want to listen to a play quietly like now!

Yang Qingxi, the chief manager of the Yangxin Palace, saw that the emperor was really in a bad mood, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you have been so busy with this new palace concubine that you haven't even gone to take a look, and you can see that you are still thin, but you really feel sorry for the dead slave, hurry up and drink hot tea, or I will call the Jingshifang to come in and prepare for the emperor's flop?" ”

Emperor Xianfeng was amused by Yang Qingxi's gag, "You minion, you are getting more and more flamboyant." "I was ticked by Yang Qingxi's words, and suddenly remembered the hearty Peilan woman on the day of the draft, and her interest also came up." Don't turn over the cards, I see that the moonlight is good today, go to Chuxiu Palace for a walk. ”

Not to mention that the wind and rain in the Forbidden City will pass on the news, Emperor Xianfeng has not yet left the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Palace, and a little eunuch Baba has already come to Chuxiu Palace to report the good news, and then took Lan Guiren's reward Xingzhen and walked away. Fan'er and Anqian accompanied Xingzhen to stand on the platform of the apse, the moonlight was like water, and the outline of the Lan nobles was extraordinarily profound.

"Noble, do we need to prepare anything?" Ancy asked.

Lan Guiren shook his head, "You don't need to prepare anything else, just let the emperor think that we don't know, Anqian, you tell Zhuyun to prepare hot water, Xiao Xiazi, you secretly find a place to wait at the palace gate, and when the emperor comes, he will come in and tell me immediately, Anqian, you are waiting outside the Fengguang room, if the emperor comes in, you will welcome him in, Fan'er, you are waiting in the palace, and the others are all hiding." Lan Guiren swayed freely, directing one by one wind wheels to turn away, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xianfeng, Xianfeng, even if you don't let others stay today, your heart will let you stay in this Chuxiu Palace!

Emperor Xianfeng took a few eunuchs to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, seeing that other palaces were brightly lit, and Chuxiu Palace lit a red copper long-pole lotus octagonal lamp at the wall, and the whole palace was immersed in the dissolving moonlight, and the emperor asked Yang Qingxi in surprise: "Is this point the Lan nobles resting?" ”

Yang Qingxi looked around: "The slave thinks it won't, look at the emperor, the palace door is still open." ”

Emperor Xianfeng nodded, and several people surrounded him into the palace gate, and when he turned around the wall, he heard a burst of singing.

The singing voice is not the common graceful style of the singers in the palace, but it is innocent and a little hearty, echoing in the Chuxiu Palace under the clear moonlight. Emperor Xianfeng faintly couldn't hear clearly, and walked a few steps quickly, bypassing the main hall, before he heard the song clearly.

"I came from the mountains with orchid grass.

Plant in the garden and hope that the flowers will bloom early.

I look at it three times a day, and I see the flowers that have passed,

The orchids are still there, and there is not a single bud.

Seeing that autumn is coming, moving orchids into the greenhouse,

The morning and the morning are frequently cherished, and the night can not be forgotten.

I hope that the flowers will bloom early, and I can fulfill my long-cherished wishes,

The garden is full of flowers, and there are many fragrances. ”

Emperor Xianfeng rarely heard such a hearty and energetic singing, the boredom of the day was swept away, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he walked quickly to the front of the Fengguang Room, Anqian had a sharp eye, and bowed down: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

"Lan Guiren is singing in it?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Lan Guiren singing."

Xingzhen could hear the conversation outside and knew that her plan had succeeded, so she stopped singing and asked pretendedly, "Anqian, who is outside?" ”

"It's me."

Xingzhen laughed silently, walked out of the hall quickly, and gave a big salute to the young Emperor Xianfeng who was wearing a silk robe with Wanfu Wanshoulian: "Concubine Xingzhen greets the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" The minions outside don't know anything! When the emperor came, he didn't say a word, and called the concubines out of honor in front of the king. ”

Emperor Xianfeng personally helped Lan Guiren up, his eyes were full of smiles, "What a loss of etiquette, if you ask them to inform you, how can I hear such a beautiful singing!" ”

Xingzhen was stroked by Emperor Xianfeng's dragon hand and had goosebumps, and pressed the discomfort in her heart, "It's good that the emperor likes it, this is made up by the concubines themselves, if the Nanfu musicians in the palace hear it, they will laugh at me for not understanding the rhythm!" ”

"The slave of Nanfu is all the same songs and dances, I am really impatient to watch," Emperor Xianfeng took Xingzhen's hand, entered the Fengguang room, looked at the furnishings in the hall, and couldn't help frowning: "How can you live in such a small palace, isn't the front hall empty?" ”

Xingzhen guided the emperor to sit down on the couch, and pulled out her hand without leaving a trace, "The concubine is just a nobleman's position, living in the main hall is not in line with the ceremony, and opposite is the Yilan Pavilion, the concubine asked people to plant a few orchids, which are common every day, but it is also convenient." ”

"That's it, you're a polite person." Emperor Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't expect that Lan Guiren was knowledgeable and reasonable. "Why are these minions?"

Xingzhen laughed loudly, Emperor Xianfeng was a little confused, "The emperor doesn't think that the minions all over the ground every day are not enough to see, the concubines are really suspicious, and the heads are panicked, so the minions who don't need it go back to rest, and the concubines are so quiet" Fan'er sent the mung bean soup that was iced in the well water, Xingzhen took the bowl of blue and white foundation, and dedicated it to Emperor Xianfeng, "Isn't it good for the concubines to serve the emperor?" ”

Emperor Xianfeng laughed, "Very good, very good", he took the mung bean soup and took a few sips. "Lan'er," Emperor Xianfeng called Xingzhen, "sing that song again for me?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xingzhen stood in front of the kang, wearing a light purple cheongsam, the Lan nobleman was neither humble nor arrogant, like an upright orchid, adding three points of innocence, three points of splendor, plus three points of intentionality, and sang this song "Orchid Grass" again.

"I came from the mountains with orchid grass.

Plant in the garden and hope that the flowers will bloom early

I hope that the flowers will bloom early, and I can fulfill my long-cherished wishes,

The garden is full of flowers, and there are many fragrances. ”

The singing is melodious, and everyone is drunk.

After a song, the voice of Emperor Xianfeng came from the Fengguang room: "Yang Qingxi, I will rest in Chuxiu Palace tonight!" ”

"Wow!"

Xingzhen looked at Emperor Xianfeng's body slowly pressing up, and looked a little flustered, what should I do? Lao Tzu is completely unready to be by a man! Is it okay for Lao Tzu to be a straight man? The effect of this song today is also Nima, which is really good! It seems that today I am going to ** The panicked look was seen by Emperor Xianfeng, the emperor laughed, and nodded Xingzhen's nose dotingly, "I really thought that you girl was not afraid of anything, it seems that she is still a little afraid, it doesn't matter, I will take pity on you." ”

The moonlight outside the window is like water, the red candles in the hall are dripping tears, and the hibiscus tent is warm**.

The next day, the emperor dictated: "Canonize the Yehenala clan of Chuxiu Palace as Lan Concubine and live in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace." Canonization ceremony on August 18! ”

As soon as the news came out, the six palaces shook!
