Tai Chi Palace, Changchun Palace, a familiar and unfamiliar place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Well, why...... Will it feel strange?

Cixi was slightly in a trance.

I took off my makeup, took off my court clothes, and changed into civilian clothes.

After that, the palace maids and eunuchs who were "left behind" in Changchun Palace and Taiji Hall came in and kowtowed. "Wen Yu" a few words, let go of the reward, the eunuchs and palace maids withdrew, Yu'er asked: "Master, do you want to pass the meal?" ”

It was already past lunch, but Cixi was not hungry at all.

One was when it was ten o'clock, and I had a snack on the train; One was the high excitement of the extraordinary courtesy, which still burned her.

Under normal circumstances, even if she had eaten on the train before, it was not a main meal, and at this moment, she should have a little bit of hunger, but she didn't feel anything.

"No need," said Cixi, "otherwise, I will have to eat four times today, and I won't be hungry." ”

"Yes."

"Let's go out for a walk," said Cixi, "and get up early in the morning and take the carriage, the carriage, the train, the carriage, the sedan chair...... Together, I haven't walked a few steps, and it's time to take a turn. ”

Yu'er was slightly stunned, "Is it out of Changchun Palace to ask the master?" ”

"Of course it's not just a walk around Changchun Palace."

Out of the apse Yiqing study room as a dormitory, Cixi did not walk slowly under the corridor as before, but through the screen door, to the front hall, that is, the main hall.

Under the eaves in front of the palace, there are her "guard of honor" gold festival, gold dust, gold incense burner, gold incense box, gold spit pot, gold plate, gold cup, gold bottle, gold chair, gold pestle, gold square table, gold pedal.

All of them are "golden", of course, some are pure gold, and some are gold-plated.

It's a pity, Cixi thought to herself, these "honor guards" are displayed here, and no one can see them except for the people in Changchun Palace.

This is the only place where she has "regrets" in today's "courtesy".

However, Cixi also understands that there is no way to do this, no more than those flags, fans, flags, buildings, umbrellas, covers, these bottles, cans, tables, chairs and benches, there are very clear regulations in the system, to be displayed "under the eaves of the main hall of the queen mother" She, the queen mother's "main hall", is not the Changchun Palace?

Is it impossible to furnish it to Cining Palace? Then no one could see it, not even herself.

Besides, that place

Thinking of this, Cixi couldn't help but "hum" softly.

She walked slowly in front of the "guard of honor", did not enter the hall, slowly descended the steps, then turned around, raised her head, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

After noon, the plaque of "Changchun Palace", the upper half of the plaque, hidden in the shadow of the eaves, the lower half of the small half, shining in the sun.

The "honor guards" below the plaque are all bathed in the winter sun from head to toe, and one by one is overflowing with colorful streamers.

Okay, at this point, all my "honor guards" have been "furnished".

Cixi breathed a sigh of relief.

Silently stared at the half-ring, and then, took a step, picked up the steps, the main hall, the east side hall Suishou Palace, the west side hall peace room, one by one in, out, inside and out, slowly "slippery".

A table and a chair, a few cases, a tripod and a Yi, a bottle and a goose, a pillow and a burden, a word and a painting...... All the furnishings are exactly the same as a year ago, without the slightest change or movement.

The earth dragon is burning hot, and everywhere is spotless.

Cixi's trance-like feeling came out again: it seemed to ...... As if you never left? It seems like...... Like you lived here yesterday?

Walking out of the peace room, the cold air rushed towards her, and Cixi sobered up a little.

Her gaze fell on the hugging building of the Tai Chi Hall Rear Hall and the Tiyuan Hall.

This palace has been ...... Things are not people.

Actually, what about "this palace"? The entire Forbidden City has already been "things are not people"!

A hot and sour breath surged up from the bottom of my heart.

The Queen Mother, who was staring at the Taiji Palace, slowly changed her expression, this, Yu'er and Li Lianying, who were with her, saw it, and couldn't help exchanging a worried look.

However, the Queen Mother's strange appearance did not last long, and after a while, she returned to her normal demeanor and said, "Go back!" ”

Yu'er and Li Lianying, who were about to think of a fork, were secretly relieved: Yes, don't go into the Taiji Palace, seeing things is thinking about people, thinking about people is sad, why bother?

Passed through the screen door, returned to the apse, and looked at the east side of the apse Yishou Zhai, the west side hall Le Zhixuan, this is enough to "slip".

Back in the dormitory, Yu'er offered a soothing honey tea, and after Cixi drank two sips, she pretended to be idle and said:

"Master, they all said that today's Sijiu City is very lively! We walked on the chessboard street, and the police stomped up from beginning to end, but in fact, we couldn't see the serious liveliness, but it's a pity! In the rest of the places, the alleys are not counted but all the roads and avenues, the merchants and houses on both sides have placed incense cases at the door, flowers and wine, incense and prayers, as soon as the emperor and the queen mother's car drove out of the train station, the bell towers everywhere rang 'dangdang', the people heard it, knew that the master came out, and they all looked at the sky and danced and worshipped! ”

Cixi's gaze jumped slightly, "Oh? ”

"And that's not all!" Li Lianying followed, "It is said that there are nine gates in the inner city, except for the front door, the remaining eight gates"

After a slight pause, while wrenching his fingers, he said, "Chongwenmen, Xuanwumen, Chaoyangmen, Fuchengmen, Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, Andingmen, Deshengmen...... Every city gate, not far from entering, is a flower color workshop, although not as good as the one on the chessboard street, but it is also the top and the top! The one on Qipan Street is naturally the only one in the world, and there is no one that can be compared, and it is really called 'Tianzi No. 1'! That big, that high, ouch, it's just too much to catch up with! None of the older generations have seen it! Anyway, the slave has never seen it in his life! ”

The front door is Zhengyang Gate, as soon as you enter the chessboard street, this flower color workshop, since the chessboard street already has a "Tianzi No. 1", Zhengyang Gate does not have to be like the rest of the eight gates, and then set up another one.

When Li Lianying said the name of the city gate, she seemed to be talking about cross talk and "reporting the name of the dish", and Cixi couldn't help laughing first.

When he finished speaking, Cixi said: "There are still eight flower color workshops? What's on it? Are there any words? What is it ...... 'reverence for merit and virtue'? ”

"Back to the master," Li Lianying said, "There are words, but they must be one by one, without duplicates!" Some of the color workshops have been rooted in the 'mother of the world', some of the color workshops have been tied to the 'virtue of the world', and the rest are ...... Well, Rong Mincai went to inquire clearly, and then went back and forth to the master. ”

"Mother of the world" is not enough, "virtue is worthy of the world"? ……

Cixi's eyes were shining.

"Okay, you go and inquire."

"Yes!"

"Master, the prince is really attentive!" Yu'er looked at Cixi's color, "When the master leaves the palace, he works hard; The master is in Tianjin, and he is attentive; The master returned to Luan, and he ...... More attentive! ”

These few sycophants, but they didn't seem to be on point, Cixi was silent, and the look on her face slowly changed.

Yu'er and Li Lianying didn't dare to speak.

After a long while, Cixi said lightly: "He is attentive, not fake; It's not false to be attentive to me, but his intentions are not necessarily."

After a pause, his tone became lighter, "But that's it." ”

Speaking of which, he stopped, picked up the tea bowl, and slowly sipped the tea.

Yu'er didn't dare to continue with Fang Cai's words, and tried to change the topic: "Master, do you want to take a nap?" In the afternoon, Concubine Wan, Concubine Qi, Concubine Mei, and the concubines of the rest of the palaces all had to pass through Changchun Palace to ask for peace, and they had to toss for a while! ”

"Concubine Wan, Concubine Qi, Concubine Mei......" Cixi smiled to herself, "Okay, they have all been promoted......

After a pause, "A few of them in 'Sichun' have also been promoted to 'concubines', right?" ”

Wan Guifei, Qi Guifei, Mei Guifei, the original positions were all "concubines", Emperor Hongxu ascended the throne, and promoted his father's little wives to a higher level, and these people became "concubines"; As for the "four springs", it refers to the original four concubines, Ji concubines, Xi concubines, and Qing concubines, and after the official is promoted to one level, they become concubines, Ji concubines, Xi concubines, and Qing concubines.

However, "Sichun" is just the name of the four concubines of Wenzong in the palace in private, and no one has ever dared to mention it in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Yu'er and Li Lianying did not expect that the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary actually knew this statement, and they couldn't help but be quite embarrassed.

Yu'er smiled and said, "Yes...... Hey, isn't it all the grace of the Master? ”

My grace? Well, if you say so, there's nothing wrong with it, the edict of these foxes in Jin Feng, the first sentence must be "I serve the Empress Dowager of Ci'an Duanyu Kangqing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi Duanyou Kangyi".

Cixi suddenly thought: That "sister", now only has the emblem of the word "Cili", and there is no "Gong number" such as "Duanyu Kangqing" and "Duanyou Kangyi", and the top of her head is still "bare".

Naturally, a smile appeared on his face, "Well, there are also Concubine Rong and Concubine Xuan, it's time to call Concubine Rong and Concubine Xuan." ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

"Well, are they ready for their rewards?"

"Don't worry, master," Yu'er said, "Before leaving Tianjin, Lao Li and I, one by one, picked up the good ones by hand, and there will be no slight difference." ”

"Well," said Cixi, "I have indeed been a little tired since the early morning, so I will stare at it for a while." ”

Yu'er and Li Lianying withdrew.

Cixi, who was lying on the bed, had just closed her eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable spirit opened her eyes wide.

She found that it had been nearly an hour since she returned to the palace, but as far as she could see, compared to a year ago, the biggest change in the Forbidden City had been turned a blind eye!

There was a dragon burning in the house, and there was a lavender cage, and she shivered all over her body, but she got up all of a sudden!
