With the promise of the Queen Mother, Mu Yang'a was very grateful, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and the Queen Mother laughed at him and was polite, "Have you seen Sister Ci'an?" ”

"Public before private, slaves dare not forget. [On the above than ^^ odd ^^ in ^^ text ^^ net]"

"Then you kneel down first, it's rare to enter the garden, ask Sister Ci'an to take you around, and then go out after dinner, I won't come to accompany you, lest you be restrained." Mu Yang'a retreated, and the Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and said to Gao Xinkui, "Do you think the position of Shangshu is difficult?" ”

"Yes, the position of the governor of Tianjin has been given up, and the new governor of Zhili is an official document, Niangniang has always disliked official documents, it stands to reason that the position of this Shangshu can also be given to Mu Yang'a, but the position of the household department is really important, if you don't take out more things, I'm afraid that the military aircraft department will not will."

"If you don't want to, you won't," the Empress Dowager Cixi walked out, "and it doesn't matter." The group went to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion again, and Gao Xinkui said one more thing: "In the past, there was an old friend who came to Beijing, and Weichen thought, please ask the queen mother's will to see you." ”

"Your old friend, you have seen it since you went there, why do you still want to ask for a decree," the Queen Mother smiled, and suddenly asked: "What does this old man I see have to do with me?" ”

"It's the old man who was a staff member in Sushun Mansion back then." Gao Xinkui was neither humble nor arrogant, bowed his head slightly and said, he felt the Queen Mother's eyes looking him up and down, and it seemed that after a long time, the Queen Mother said softly, "Is it?" In the past, Jingzhong was known as the Five Gentlemen of Sumen, which old man did you see, must be one of the best, right? ”

"The Queen Mother Shengming, this person's knowledge and ability are above Weichen, Weichen wants to go here, if he can persuade him to come out, it will also help the Queen Mother's great cause."

"Well, this is very good, you go, if this person really has such a great power as you say, I will naturally reward him."

Gao Xinkui turned around and retired, although the Queen Mother suddenly heard that Su Shun was slightly displeased, but it was not to the extent of being furious, and turned her head and asked De Ling, "Who is the person he wants to see?" ”

"It's Wang Minyun." ……

The emperor arrived at Zhongcui Palace, before entering the main hall, he was attracted by a timid little girl under the eaves, his face was green and uneasy, standing under the eaves, twisting his handkerchief with both hands, and waiting until the emperor was close to him, then he reluctantly bowed and knelt down, the emperor waved his hand, "Get up," this time Mei Xin also greeted him, the emperor stared at the little girl with interest, the little girl looked down with red eyes and did not dare to raise her head, the emperor was about to say something, Mei Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the mother is waiting inside." ”

Emperor Tongzhi only then entered the palace, saw Ci'an pinching needle and thread on the kang, smiling at himself, and couldn't wait for the emperor to salute, Ci'an grabbed the emperor, pulled him on the kang, and hurriedly stroked the cheeks of the Tongzhi Emperor with his hand, and asked if he was hungry, thirsty or not, and asked the palace maid eunuch to bring up the tea and snacks, and personally sandwiched a pea yellow to feed the emperor to eat, the emperor smiled and ate a few pastries on the kang, smiled and Ci'an said: "E-Niang, what is this embroidery?" ”

"A few days ago, I saw that your purse came and went in such a few styles, so I thought I would make one for you."

Mei Xin handed over a hot towel embroidered with a golden dragon, and interjected, "Niangniang is for the emperor's purse, but she asked the Internal Affairs Office to open the famous paintings of flowers and water birds in the past dynasties, and danced for more than ten days. ”

"I want you to talk more." The Empress Dowager Ci'an said Mei Xin in disgust, and the emperor was greatly moved when he heard it, "I know that Eniang loves her son the most." The emperor held Ci'an's hand, "It's just that this Shangyi supervisor will get these things, E-Niang should not be tired, if the eyes are useless, or if it hurts the gods, it is the son who is not filial." ”

"What are you talking about," the Empress Dowager Ci'an said with a smile, "There is nothing to do in this garden, in this garden, there are only a few of us, coming and going is nothing more than listening to the drama and visiting the garden. ”

The emperor asked again: "I heard that this Cheng'en Gong has entered the garden, why don't you see anyone?" ”

"He's a foreign minister, and if he comes, he'll let him out," said the Empress Dowager Ci'an, "whether it's convenient or not." ”

"What's inconvenient about this, Chen Shengwen," Emperor Tongzhi called Chen Shengwen, "You go and invite Cheng'en Gong back, and I'm here today, and I'll have dinner with Eniang." Chen Shengwen took the money to go out to pass the decree, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an shook her head helplessly, "You, you, what are you doing." ”

"E-Niang has lived in the palace for a long time, and Cheng Engong has been an official in other places all the year round, and now that he has entered Beijing, he is free, so he naturally has to meet more, otherwise E-Niang is not too boring." Emperor Tongzhi smiled, and then continued casually, "By the way, why are there a few more people here in Eniang?" ”

"You're sharp-eyed," Ci'an said, "There are a few former palace daughters who have been released to marry, and I said I don't need to make up for it, but the Baba of the Internal Affairs Office has to send people here, and I have to accept it." (To be continued......)
