16. Associate Sixth House (5)
Xingzhen talked to Emperor Xianfeng with a pair, the topic was the nonsense of Tiannan and Haibei, that is, not to mention the few stacks of music placed in the bright yellow cloth curtain, the emperor wanted to talk about the south several times, but Xingzhen carefully bypassed. Xingzhen and Emperor Xianfeng talked about the scenery of Hangzhou, Xingzhen talked about the scenery of Hangzhou, excitedly pointed his fingers and feet, talked about going to Liuhe Pagoda to see the tide, to the gem mountain to smell the maple leaves, to Manjue to listen to the osmanthus falling, the broken bridge to walk, happened to meet the White Lady, Xileng shopping, Su Xiaoxiao was waiting for him in a certain oil wall car Langjun, Gushan visited Banchi Remnant, Longjing listened to Lu Yu's lectures, Wansong Academy looked at Liang Zhu. Speaking of pride, Xingzhen also remembered Liu Yong's "Wanghai Tide":
The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is full of jewels, and the household is rich and luxurious.
The heavy lake is stacked on top of Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube is eye-catching, Lingge is in the night, frolicking and fishing for lotus babies. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the drums and enjoy the smoke and haze. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.
"Three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus." Emperor Xianfeng muttered these two words in his mouth, his eyes stared at the Shu embroidered landscape painting on the kang, and he looked fascinated, "I really want to go to Jiangnan to take a walk." ”
Xingzhen raised her head and looked at Emperor Xianfeng, whose face was pale, and then realized that the ruler of China's more than 400 million sons of heaven was actually just a young man in his early twenties. There is no Qianlong Emperor to enjoy the blessing of the first emperor, since the day of his accession to the throne, that is, facing the double crisis of internal and external troubles, not getting a day of stability, had to bear the mess left by the previous dynasty, demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, internal and external troubles, the Taiping Army, the Twist Army, Gansu and Shaanxi back to chaos, one after another; In addition to the continuous influx of opium into China, they were also preparing to use various means such as missionary and port openings to encroach on China, and the entire Qing Dynasty was in a stormy time. Xingzhen thought of this, looking at Emperor Xianfeng, who was now lazy and diligent in government affairs, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and felt a little more pity that she didn't have before, and opened her mouth to cheer for Emperor Xianfeng: "What does the emperor have, when the south is more stable, let's learn from the Holy Grandfather and Lord Qianlong, and also go to the south to inspect and see the scenery of the south." ”
Emperor Xianfeng shook his head and smiled, and sighed, "Lan'er, your idea is good, I will definitely take you to the West Lake in the future." ”
Xingzhen saw that Emperor Xianfeng's interest was not very high, so she retreated with interest, "The concubine has retired, and I still want to go to the imperial concubine to ask for peace." ”
"Kneel down." Emperor Xianfeng waved his hand.
Xingzhen stood in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, just now she just wanted to kneel down and salute, but she was quickly stopped by the imperial concubine, "You are now the person who is the assistant of the Sixth Palace, it stands to reason that the old woman is also under your control, why do you need to make a big salute." Xingzhen listened to the gentle tone of the imperial concubine, and did not mean to blame, so she stood up, bowed her head and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine made fun of the concubine, and the concubine dared to be presumptuous in front of the imperial concubine, but the emperor watched the imperial concubine enter the winter and her body was not very refreshing, afraid of being tired of the imperial concubine, thinking that the concubine was idle, so he asked the concubine to help one or two, how dare you say that she was in charge of the imperial concubine," Xingzhen looked at Deling, the chief manager of Shoukang Palace, who was standing like a dusty puppet on the side," I also told Gonggong De, how was Shoukang Palace in the past, what will it be like from now on, in addition, many errands in the Internal Affairs Office, the concubines have never heard of it before, and they have never seen it, so it is indispensable to beg the imperial concubine to let Gonggong De go to my side to give me some guidance, lest I make a big mistake! ”
Emperor Concubine Kangci listened to Concubine Lan's words, her eyes flickered a few times, but she didn't say anything, "What can De Ling understand, it's just that he has stayed in the palace a little longer than you young people, but since you say so, I don't want to let De Ling eat dry food in Shoukang Palace, De Ling," the Imperial Concubine turned her head and instructed her chief manager, "In the future, if Concubine Lan asks you to go, you will immediately go and wait for Concubine Lan's dispatch." ”
"Wow."
"How dare you send Father-in-law De, if there is anything unclear, the concubine will send someone to invite the father-in-law, and the father-in-law will come to Chuxiu Palace to point out and guide me."
The imperial concubine waved her hand and motioned for Xingzhen to sit down, Xingzhen sat on the kang with half of her buttocks obliquely, her hands on her laps, and sat stiffly. ”
Xingzhen hurriedly put down the tea bowl and replied: "If you go back to the imperial concubine, it is exactly, I just wanted to report to the imperial concubine, thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, and entrusted me to assist in the affairs of the six palaces, but I, not long after entering the palace, I don't know anything, I am afraid that I will do the wrong errand, and it will not be good for the emperor to worry about it again, so I invited a few sisters to help me and help me mention the affairs of this palace!" Sister Zhen Concubine is an old man, Sister Ying's father is the son of the country, she is knowledgeable, and she is proficient in literal things, and the concubine thinks that the sisters have nothing to do in **, so they invited the sisters to do something together, and the imperial concubine will not blame the concubine, right? Xingzhen said as she secretly looked at the face of the imperial concubine.
Emperor Kang Ci's concubine waved her hand, and the eighteen Buddha beads inlaid with tourmaline in her hand were also swinging around, "That's it, lest a few of them look at you and have a lot of suspicion in their hearts, the women of this inner court, if they are not too comfortable, how can there be so many people chewing their tongues?" In my opinion, your method is very good, and you have found something for a few of them to do, so as not to sit in the palace and regenerate right and wrong! The imperial concubine stared at Xingzhen and smiled, "Why are you so generous, Concubine Lan, the power of this assistant sixth palace cannot be underestimated, you said that you will let it out?" ”
