Zai Chun became extremely excited about the three blessings. When he finally sent Cai Bixia away from Beiyuan after having a few more glasses of wine, he was staggering while walking!
Standing beside the long mountain road, Cai Bixia smiled and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, don't send me off, be careful if you drink too much and get in trouble! I'm very familiar with this place, just go by yourself..."
"My father-in-law, why don't you ask your majesty to take a rest and sleep for a while?"
Big Sixi and Little Sixi kowtowed to Cai Bixia and smiled in a flattering manner, "Oh, Special Envoy Cai, Mr. Cai! You still feel sorry for us slaves!"
"We are also afraid that Long Live will stumble, but we don't dare to persuade him yet. Whoever says that Long Live is not allowed to send the special envoy, Long Live will have to deal with someone!"
"It's better that you speak up. Your Majesty will definitely listen to you!"
Zai Chun went up and kicked Da Sixi's butt, "You're the only one who talks a lot...who said I drank too much? I have a huge drinking capacity!"
Cai Bixia waved her hands angrily, "Okay, okay... I don't need you to give it to you if you drink a lot. If you follow me again, I won't come to see you in the future!"
"Don't... don't! I listen to you, senior sister, go back and rest now, go back and rest now..."
Da Sixi and Little Sixi helped Zai Chun back, while Er Mao followed to see Cai Bixia off. On the way down the mountain, Er Mao took out a colorful crystal bracelet from his arms and handed it to Cai Bixia. !
"This is a gift from the Queen Mother! A multi-treasure eighteen-child bracelet made by the Emperor Qianlong's Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the Queen Mother's favorite thing. The Queen Mother is in a good mood today, so she gave it to you!"
Cai Bixia took it and took a look. What a treasure! Red and green sapphires, mutton-fat jade, emerald coral beads, all kinds of materials were put together, tied into a network with colorful silk threads, and a string of small beads on the long bright yellow tassels!
It is a common Buddhist instrument, the Eighteen-zi bracelet, also called a hand twister. The nobles in the palace can usually use it to chant Buddha's name or play hand games!
"It's really beautiful! But I'm not a Buddhist either? Why give me this thing..."
Er Mao looked around and said in a low voice, "I have been following the Queen Mother for many years. I know exactly what the Queen Mother is thinking...she was frightened by the big gift package from the head of state!"
"These Manchu nobles all appear to be noble and unattainable on the outside. In fact, they are very scared and inferior in their hearts. They all know that when the prosperity is not there, the water will overflow when it is full, and the moon will be full when it is full!"
"The Queen Mother has studied Buddhism for many years and understands this profound truth!"
"This bracelet is said to have been blessed by an eminent monk using secret techniques. The Queen Mother uses it to chant sutras and recite Buddha's teachings on weekdays. It is very powerful!"
"Ah? Magical power... Hahaha..." Cai Bixia suddenly laughed. "She doesn't really think that all the Chinese people are monsters, right? What kind of magic weapon is she using to suppress her?"
Er Mao also smiled awkwardly and shook his head, "I don't know about this. The Queen Mother didn't say it clearly, so I don't dare to ask! But this thing is really good and priceless. You can keep it as a family heirloom!"
Cai Bixia didn't care about any magical or illegal weapons. He stretched out his hand and put it on his wrist. Not to mention that this baby was really beautiful. The eighteen pieces of jewelry made of different materials were polished irregularly, and each one looked like it. They are all different!
But these eighteen different shapes put together create a very harmonious effect! Cai Bixia is beautiful, and she is even more beautiful with such a treasure today!
Ermao sent Cai Bixia away from Beiyuan, while Ci'an was sitting next to Zai Chun in the Qiwang Tower. Zai Chun was lying on his side on the couch with his eyes closed to rest. Ci'an beside him was shaking his fan but looking at the sky outside the palace. .
"Is it okay for you to treat us like this? Are you sincere? The Ai family absolutely can't believe it, life and death! That's hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. If Ili is added, it will be hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. More than 10,000!”
"If there is no abnormality, there must be monsters! This is too abnormal!"
Zai Chun did not open his eyes. "The Queen Mother is worrying too much! Master, do you have any other choice? These lands are in the core areas of the Chinese ethnic group, and they are all barren!"
"You can't farm, you can't do business. There may be mines... but they can't be developed right now. It's hard for people to live in those bitter and cold places. If he doesn't give it to us, who else can the Qing Dynasty give it to?"
"Master is naturally incapable of dealing with Rakshasa ghosts. Now the negotiations are gaining momentum. Why don't we chop them a few more times?"
Ci'an sighed, "What you said makes sense, but I'm just afraid! By doing this, Xiao Letian seems to be infiltrating our Qing Dynasty deeper and deeper... Are you not afraid that in the future you will really give up our Qing Dynasty in one go? have eaten?"
With a scratch, Zai Chun opened his eyes and started to do something: "What is the difference between what the Queen Mother said and what those rotten scholars in the court said? If we are afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back, then we might as well stop living and breathing!"
"This has been the case from ancient times to the present. Isn't it a fight between tigers and wolves between countries? When you are strong, they will flatter you, and when you are weak, they will bully you!"
"The Chinese want to eat our Qing Dynasty, don't the Rakshasa ghosts not want it? The British don't want it? The Americans, the French, the Germans don't want it? Let's just talk about the country. Those Han people don't want it? Don't the Hunan Army want it?"
"To tell you a joke, even the small countries of Korea and Fuso are thinking about it! Otherwise, why did Toyotomi Hideyoshi attack the Ming Dynasty?"
"The things you are worried about, Queen Mother, are unnecessary. Why don't the Chinese want to eat our Qing Dynasty? If Xiao Letian didn't have this idea, he wouldn't have been able to lead the Chinese until today!"
"Whoever can create such a powerful country, who is not a hero who can conquer the world?"
"So, there's no need to guess, it's for sure! But since we know that they have this intention, we shouldn't cut off our contacts with these people!"
"Because we can never be isolated. The more isolated we are, the weaker we will be. Then it will make these people want to bully us!"
"Only strong! For today's plan, there is only one way to be strong! The stronger we are, the more secure the Qing Dynasty will be!"
"You expect to hide? You expect to escape? You expect to close your doors? That won't work. You're just waiting for death! No matter how hard you close the door, you can't withstand the cannon explosion!"
Zai Chun's eyes filled with excitement, "That's why I want an industrial power! Because only when our Qing Dynasty is strong and can protect ourselves can we survive among a pack of hungry wolves!"
"Our Qing Dynasty has been too fond of conspiracy over the years! We don't understand conspiracy at all, so we have fallen behind step by step!"
"What should we fear if our enemies have ambitions? There is no country in the world without ambitions! They have ambitions, and so do we. Let's stand up to them!"
"I always want to use conspiracy to move around, but the final result is that the space becomes smaller and smaller, and finally I am blocked in the corner!"
Ci'an blushed when he saw Zai Chun's excited face, "Okay, okay... My son, you are right... Aijia reminds you in vain... lie down and rest!"
This is the difference between Ci'an and Cixi. Ci'an will not confront Zai Chun head-on. She has more maternal tenderness. Therefore, although she is not Zai Chun's biological mother, Zai Chun is closer to Dong Dong from the heart. Queen Mother!
