Lian Xing heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi was excusing himself in her words. He quickly rubbed his knees on the ground and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. "The Empress Dowager is teaching you that the Empress Dowager is right. I am an old rat and a slippery man." Rat…”
"But there is nothing we can do about it. Before the Lord Long Live becomes stronger, I have to live... I have little arms and legs, and I really can't afford to offend so many people!"
Zai Chun got off the kang and bowed to his mother, then turned to look at Lian Xing, "Lian Xing! Don't think that I will believe your lies! If you were a loyal minister, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not have to pay for one hundred taels of eggs." , right?”
"Haha, you are just a lucky little person. Mother is right, you are really a slippery old rat!"
"But for the sake of my mother, and because you, an old rat, still have fear in your heart, I can bypass your disrespect today!"
"But you have to remember it firmly in the future! I am not a king who can be bullied. Just like what you just said, if I centralized power, how could I allow you little ones to cause trouble?"
"Hmph...get out of here first!"
"Come on! Get out of here, my slave, get out of here..."
He didn't even dare to stand up, so he crawled on the ground, knelt with his hands and feet on the gold bricks, and exited Sanxi Hall!
Lian Xing, who was covered in cold sweat, finally walked out of the Yangxin Hall. When there was no one around, he felt dizzy and leaned against the red wall!
"My ancestors have blessed me! It's really my ancestors' blessing! I actually survived this disaster! Go home and have a big banquet, go home and invite the troupe to sing!"
"Hahaha...hahahaha..." Lian Xing covered his mouth and was already laughing hysterically in his heart.
After Lian Xing left, the conversation in the Yangxin Hall continued. With such a big thing happening in the empire, Cixi really couldn't sit still!
Originally, she and Ci'an had already discussed that no matter how big the issue was, they should not interfere with Zaichun's governance. Since it was a pro-government, then she should truly be a pro-government and not engage in fake pro-government!
But after all, the two queen mothers were worried in the end. Ci'an sent a note, while Cixi was restless in Chuxiu Palace and finally couldn't help but come out to see her son!
"Lian Xing is just a jester. Don't hold him to the standards of a loyal minister. Just treat him as a tool!" Cixi said lightly.
"My child, you have to understand that there are no loyal ministers in the world. They are all illusions and dramas for the common people!"
"All the courtiers in the world are actually just outsiders, but some are willing to be more shameless, and some are simply shameless! Lian Xing is such a shameless thing!"
"Your Majesty is strong and can suppress him. This guy is naturally a loyal minister. If you are not smart enough and are deceived by him or can't fight him at all, he will definitely be a traitor!"
"They are all slaves who look after others. They are just dogs. They are used temporarily. If they find that they are no longer useful in the future, they will be killed and eaten as meat."
"But you have to understand that this slave belongs to the Yehenara clan after all. In fact, if you tame it, it will be more useful than other slaves!"
"Let's go and go for a walk with the Ai family. I asked someone to prepare lunch in Chuxiu Palace. What time has it been and you still haven't eaten any rice!"
Even if there is a grudge between mother and son, they will not bear a mortal grudge. In the Qing Dynasty, things that govern the country with filial piety still have to be done. Zai Chun held E Niang's hand, and the mother and son left the Yangxin Palace side by side!
The Yangxin Palace is located on the west side of the Qianqing Palace. When you walk out of the Yangxin Gate, you are facing the Yuehua Gate. This east-west gate is an important gateway to the Qianqing Palace!
The north-south street that separates Yangxin Palace and Qianqing Palace is Xiyi Long Street!
This street is very important. It divided the two areas of the Housan Palace and the Western Sixth Palace. It is a street often visited by the concubines of the harem and the emperor and the queen mother. It is wrapped with the East Long Street and the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace. He Jiaotai Hall, the three main halls of the harem!
One very interesting thing about the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty was that they didn’t like the three main halls of the harem very much!
Originally, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the place where the emperor slept and lived daily was supposed to be the Qianqing Palace, and the queen was in the Kunning Palace at the back. There was a Jiaotai Palace between the two palaces. According to ancient legend, this place was supposed to be the place where the emperor and the queen had a yin and yang relationship. But those are all rumors!
But the emperor of the Qing Dynasty didn't like it here. Except for a few days when he was newly enthroned or when he got married, the emperor lived in the Yangxin Palace for the rest of the time, while the queen chose a place she liked among the six palaces. palace!
The three main halls of the harem are basically idle!
Today, of course, Zai Chun will not enter the Yuehua Gate to go to the Yangxin Palace. He will accompany his mother on a walk north on Xiyi Long Street. They are going to the Chuxiu Palace!
Pass through Jiguang Right Gate, Xianhe Right Gate, and Yongshou Palace, go north to Dacheng Right Gate, turn west, and then arrive at Chuxiu Palace where Cixi lived. Along the way, mother and son rarely got close to each other and talked happily!
However, the moment Cixi Zaichun turned the corner and entered the right door of Dacheng, no one present noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, the West First Street suddenly seemed to have become longer!
"Huh? Why is Changkang's right gate gone..." A palace maid in the crowd suddenly muttered in a low voice.
The maid next to her tilted her head and glanced, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't that the door to the north?"
The right gate of Changkang is at the north end of Xiyi Long Street. After going out, turn right and you will find the Imperial Garden, which is just a few dozen steps away from Chuxiu Palace!
But in the eyes of the palace maid who raised the question, how could the right gate of Changkang be dozens of steps away from here today? It doesn’t take more than a hundred or dozens of steps!
"It's really strange...why did this long street suddenly become longer?"
"Silence! Don't you want to live, Xiaolang Hoozi? Do you dare to speak freely?" Li Lianying's stinky face suddenly appeared, staring at the two little girls and scolding them!
No one in Chuxiu Palace dares to offend Li Lianying. After Ande Hai, he is the biggest eunuch in charge here. He can kill these palace maids whenever he wants and humiliate them if he wants!
The two palace maids trembled in fright, "I don't dare anymore, please forgive me. I don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore..."
A strange phenomenon has been ignored by people, and everyone present does not know that at this moment, the most bizarre, supernatural, and incredible legendary world in the history of the Forbidden City will begin!
After many years of renovation by Cixi, Chuxiu Palace is now the most luxuriously decorated among the six east and west palaces. Even Ci'an's Beiyuan cannot compare with the details!
The most precious treasures in the palace are displayed in the Chuxiu Palace. Basically, Cixi can pick and choose whatever she wants!
Jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties, bronze from the pre-Qin Dynasty, calligraphy from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, paintings from the Song Dynasty, porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties... you can get whatever you want here!
What's even more bizarre is that as soon as you enter Cixi's Chuxiu Palace, you can smell a strong fruity aroma, especially the aroma of apples!
