Concubine Ying is like a lily trembling in the wind, delicate and infinitely pitiful, the Queen Mother sighed, "You get up," the two of them walked to the palace alley behind the Palace of Nourishing Heart, among the long red palace walls, two people walked lonely, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Beijing City in autumn, the sky was blue, cloudless, "Since you are like this, I won't say much, I'm just afraid that I will wronged you, originally outside, you have a knighthood, what husband is not good, here, there is no grace, the days in this palace, It's uncomfortable, but if you have time in the future, come to me more, I'll be more lively there, and you won't be lonely. ”

While the two of them were chatting, the emperor's royal car arrived, and he saw the queen mother and the two stopped in a hurry, "Huang Eniang." Emperor Tongzhi shouted, and also saw Concubine Ying, Concubine Ying bowed, the emperor nodded to Concubine Ying, and asked the Queen Mother, "You came out of Yongshou Palace?" ”

"Concubine Xun is pregnant, so I naturally want to go and see it," the Queen Mother smiled, "What is the important matter to discuss today?" ”

The emperor said with a smile, "Muyanga is talking about the railway to Zhangjiakou, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, all of which are lofty mountains and mountains on the way, and now we are afraid that the technology we would have will not be able to succeed, and we still have to prepare to invite foreigners to help repair it, but this matter is not in a hurry, he is ready for everything else, and the official road from Zhangjiakou to Mongolia has started." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and the Emperor asked again, "How is Concubine Xun's body?" This was the first pregnant concubine, and the emperor was very happy, and asked, "What does the imperial doctor say?" ”

"Said that her body is not very good, the fetus is a little weak, I told her to rest assured, don't go out and walk around these days, and save her from asking for peace, you usually have to be free. Just go and talk to her more. ”

"Yes, my son knows."

The emperor turned to leave, and the queen mother looked at Concubine Ying, the flag pattern on her body was also a silent hollow valley orchid, as if she was unobtrusive, Concubine Ying's gentle eyes looked at the emperor's back. There was a fog in his eyes, and he forgot where he was for a while.

The Empress Dowager returned to Shoukang Palace, and asked Anqian to invite Princess Rong'an over, Princess Rong'an was accompanying Concubine Li Guifei to listen to the play on the three-story stage of Cining Palace, and when she heard the Empress Dowager Cixi's call, she hurriedly rushed over, especially with the gongs and drums in front of the stage, and the Empress Dowager leaned on the kang and looked at the gentle Princess Rong'an. "What kind of play are you listening to today?"

"It's a play in the south, called "Hitting the Golden Branch"."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother asked Princess Rong'an to sit down, "How is this play?" ”

"It's good, why didn't the emperor go today?"

"The emperor's concubine is pregnant, I'll take a look, besides, the emperor's mother doesn't like to watch dramas."

Rong An stuck out his tongue, "People say that the emperor loves to watch plays." also loves to rehearse plays, and now Beijing likes to watch the plays that the emperor loves to watch. If these words were known to outsiders, there would be no sound in the opera garden. ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "It's just that we have nothing to do and have some fun, we women in the deep palace are not as good as you." When the princess got married, she was much freer. ”

Hearing the words "free", Princess Rong'an's face showed the sadness she had seen a few days ago, but in a flash, the princess laughed again. This sad face was seen by the Empress Dowager Cixi, "This play is a golden branch, presumably it is the story of Princess Shengping and Guo Yi, this is a good show, but the princess is inevitably wronged, I see that you are also wronged, what, is Fu Zhen not good to you?" ”

Princess Rong'an smiled, "How could it be." ”

"Is that someone else?"

Princess Rong'an smiled reluctantly, this smile was so reluctant that even An Qian, who was serving in the palace, could see it clearly, "There is an emperor who is sympathetic to her sons, where can anyone dare to treat her sons badly." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and pondered for a while, opened her eyes, and beckoned to Princess Rong'an, Princess Rong'an was so docile that she leaned in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, "You know, the first emperor left you and the emperor two people, your mother and I also love her the most, naturally I also love you, I used to take care of the affairs of the foreign court, you can't take care of it, but this heart must still be there, otherwise I wouldn't say that I pointed you to Fu Zhen, although Fu Zhen is a military general, I don't look bad, he is a gentle person, you are a princess, and naturally no in-laws will dare to treat you badly when you get married." , I saw you sullen a few days ago, so I left you behind," the Queen Mother said gently, "Your sister," the Queen Mother referred to Prince Gong's daughter, Princess Rongshou, "Her temperament is stronger, and I am not afraid of what she will suffer, my son, you have such a gentle temperament, I am really worried, so I came to ask you, are you still hiding?" ”

Hearing the Empress Dowager Cixi say this, Princess Rong'an couldn't help but have red eyes, and Anqian hurriedly persuaded when she saw this, "There is always the support of the Empress Dowager in everything, who is bigger than the Empress Dowager in this world, Princess, you can rest assured, there are no outsiders here." ”

Princess Rong'an sobbed and took out the handkerchief pinned to her waist and wiped her tears, "Huang Eniang, let me ask if I am married to Fu Zhen." ”

"Of course."

"But, what is it," the tears in Princess Rong'an's eyes almost burst out of her eyes, "I haven't seen a few horses in the end of the year......"

Half an hour later, the Queen Mother took Princess Rong'an out of Shoukang Palace together, and went to the big stage of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Ci'an and other concubines and concubines were here, seeing the Empress Dowager Cixi coming, it was a salute again, Concubine Li Guifei saw Princess Rong'an's eyes were red, and the Empress Dowager Cixi's face was also uncertain, and she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly walked to Princess Rong'an and asked, "What's wrong with you?" I can't make your emperor unhappy! ”

"It's nothing," the Empress Dowager Cixi said calmly, "I heard Rong An say that today's play is good, I haven't seen it, come and take a look, everyone is on their own." After speaking, he pulled Rong An to his throne, and the two of them sat down side by side, Li Guifei glanced at Rong An, and saw that although there were tears, her expression was very joyful, and she let go of her heart.

In the play, it is naturally a happy ending of reunion, and finally the gong sounds, and the Queen Mother purses her lips with a handkerchief and instructs, "Don't be busy, I still have something to order." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't know why, "Please show my sister." Everyone stood up, ready to listen to the Queen Mother's command.

The Queen Mother patted Princess Rong'an's hand, smiled at her with a reassuring smile, pointed at Concubine Li, and said angrily, "I was busy before, I couldn't take care of them, it's good for you, your daughter doesn't take care of it!" ”

"This?" (To be continued.) )
