late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 342 Emperor Tongzhi and his Fa Xiao

There were lanterns and festoons in Li's mansion, Chen Xiangfang, Xie Xiuzhu, and Zhen Yuhuan ordered the servants to hang colorful silk and paste happy words, making the festive atmosphere of the house even stronger.Li Guolou came back and told them that more than 200 Jinshi would come to drink the wedding banquet tomorrow. This made Chen Xiangfang, Xie Xiuzhu, Zhen Yuhuan and others even more surprised, clapping hands and high-fiving each other.

Chen Xiangfang was the most concerned, worried about the preparation of the dishes, and had to rush to Baozhi's room early in the morning to check the inventory, purchase fresh ingredients, and make a menu.In a hurry, she stopped talking to Li Guolou, explained a few words to Wei Xiaoliu, and then went back to the inner house to sleep, preparing to get up at four o'clock tomorrow.And Xie Xiuzhu still has a lot of things to do in order to look beautiful tomorrow, so she also went to bed with Yelia.

The three brides-to-be left, leaving the living room much deserted.Wu Peipei frowned and said: "Xiaolou, go take a bath quickly, you smell like alcohol, and you have to rush to *** tomorrow, so don't make a fool of yourself."

"Hey, my eighth grandma, I'm going to take a bath now." Li Guolou spun around, as if dancing in the Yinglun Guild Hall with Yelia in his arms.He went straight to the bathroom, and the grandmas behind him laughed coquettishly.

Wu Peipei shook her head dissatisfiedly and followed behind, reprimanded: "It's really like a child."

Zhen Yuhuan glanced and said, "Well, you can be Xiaolou's mother now."

"What did you say!" Wu Peipei was furious, turned around and shouted, "You can do it too, and you're ashamed to say me." She was going to take a bath for Li Guolou. Such a big man, why should she serve him?The grandma in the inner house knows all about the strangeness and hidden secrets, so she deliberately made fun of her.

Yingying and Yanyan were fighting together, laughing unsteadily, and praised Zhen Yuhuan for her courage.The lamp oil in the living room was blown out, and several grandmas climbed the stairs, laughing coquettishly as they walked, not caring that the other grandmas were already asleep, they were too excited to fall asleep.On the eve of the wedding, the grandmothers are going to make trouble for the groom, Li Guolou, and not give him a chance to rest.

Now Wu Peipei is very good at shaving her hair, she can shave Li Guolou's forehead in three or five strokes.He washed Li Guolou's hair carefully, and praised: "Xiaolou, your braids are black and long now, you can't see that they have been cut, and you won't be criticized by others, saying that you have forgotten your old ways."

"Well, I know Miss Peipei is good and will make you happy." Li Guolou clasped Wu Peipei's waist with both hands, closed his eyes and enjoyed the itchy scalp being scratched.

"Well, I'm very satisfied with living here. It's a little troublesome to go to your hometown next month. Your uncle knows me, and many of his officers know me." In my heart, I still want to go to Hefei, and I still hope to marry Li Guolou in her hometown.

Li Guolou frowned, hesitated for a moment, swallowed what he wanted to say, and said with an idea: "What are you afraid of? You wear a veil and say you are from the Hui nationality and don't see outsiders. I will work hard, although I won't let you be Madam Gaoming again, but in this family, whoever helped me the most, I will keep in mind, even if you are five or sixty years old, I will treat you well." Li Guolou gently stroked her while speaking. Wu Peipei's oval face, a little wrinkle adds to the charm, he loves the little ones, and loves the big ones, greedily enjoying the big love without boundaries.

"Well;;;;;; I think so too, but I'm too embarrassed to say it." Wu Peipei pressed her delicate body tightly against Li Guolou's body, letting Li Guolou feel her love, and looking forward to cuddling with Li Guolou forever arms.

Li Guolou hugged Wu Peipei in his arms and stepped up to the second floor with ease, while Wu Peipei hooked his neck with both hands. Fire burns in the heart.

There was a rule in the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor woke up at three o'clock at Yinshi, the imperial dining room offered a stewed bird's nest with rock sugar as breakfast.Occasionally, Zaichun, the emperor of Tongzhi, would eat at Maoshi instead of breakfast.Eight kinds of meat and vegetables for daily breakfast, as well as side dishes, pickles and snacks.There is no dinner at noon, and they usually eat a snack called Bazhen cake, which is mixed with ginseng, Poria cocos, yam, lentils, barley, Jianlian, stir-fried Gorgon seed, meaty japonica rice noodles, and glutinous rice noodles. Steamed pastries.Dinner is usually served at the end of the day, and the number of dishes is similar to that of breakfast.The emperor also ate supper at night, which was called "wanxiang" and ate more wine meals, fruit cakes or pastries.

It can be seen that the emperor's meals were not extravagant, not much different from ordinary wealthy people.The Empress Dowager Cixi is an alternative in the imperial palace. The empress dowager who likes to enjoy herself is used to holding power and has become her own school. The extravagant royal food and drink imagined by the Chinese people is only reflected in the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The young Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun was very excited today. Yesterday the scientific examination was over, and he finally lived up to his mission. After completing his wedding, he selected new Jinshi for the first time, so he can relax.After reviewing a few memorials later, and perfunctory, you can sneak out of the palace to play.The five-day morning court, if the Qing emperor did not go to the morning court, he would review the memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Usually, after finishing the work in the morning, he would talk to the minister in the study room and explain the day's work, which would make people feel more relaxed.The next step is to travel around the mountains and rivers, and no one cares about which yard he goes to play.

Diligent emperors, such as Emperor Yongzheng, could sit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, review memorials, and go to the upper study room to listen to the reports of several ministers in the upper study room.But Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun was still at a lively age. Although the two empress dowagers were about to cancel the curtain to listen to the government and let him lead the court alone, how could Zaichun sit still at this moment?Waiting for his classmate, Zaicheng, the eldest son of Prince Gong Yixin, took him to see the "Praise Official Parade" on Chang'an Avenue first.Then wander around the Flower Street and Willow Lane, snuggle up to the red and green trees, chase and laugh.

Zai Chun sat on the desk, looking at the memorial and the pocket watch on the desk, feeling restless.Thinking to himself: Zai Cheng, this stinky boy, why hasn't he come? Zai Cheng came in from the Shenwu Gate, which is a daily entry and exit in the palace, and he should arrive at the Hall of Mental Cultivation one step earlier than the ministers.For this trip, he didn't even check the cards of the three empresses last night, just waiting to see the handsome and romantic beauties in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.Think about the queen and the two concubines that the queen mother married to him. How could they flirt and act like a baby?

When Zai Chun was thinking wildly, Zai Cheng came to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Although the monarch and his subjects were different and had to report and kowtow, the two were very close since childhood, studying in the study room and listening to lectures in Yuqing Palace.After seeing the ceremony, Zai Cheng picked up the snacks on the case table and ate them, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I ran here desperately for you to catch up with the bragging official parade, and I didn't even have breakfast."

The eunuch serving beside him hurriedly poured tea for Zaicheng and handed him a hot towel, knowing that this gentleman was generous and he was the "second master" of their slaves.

Zai Cheng was two years younger than Tongzhi Emperor Zai Chun, but he was young and mature and used to seeing big scenes, but Tongzhi Emperor Zai Chun still listened to him.Zai Cheng was born in the prince's mansion, and her mother was the daughter of Guiliang, a scholar of the Fujin Guerjia family.Received the title of Dorobeile as the county king, wearing a three-eyed flower feather, and walking in the inner court, he is already the capital of Zhenghongqi Mongolia.He became successful at a young age, thanks to him, Prince Ama Gong, Yixin Mengyin.

Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun saw Zaicheng eating like a monkey, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Dorobelle, don't worry, I have to show my face in the upper study, otherwise you, Mama, will blame me again. Slow down." There's still time to eat." Zai Chun squeezed his eyes after he finished speaking, he didn't really want to watch "Praise Official Parade", it was just an excuse, he could sneak out of the Forbidden City with a legitimate reason, so early, fun Qin Lou The Chu Pavilion has not yet opened for business, and the petite singer has not yet woken up.

Hearing the word "Ama", Zai Cheng choked on the pastry he put into his mouth, which made him roll his eyes, and the pastry gushed out from his mouth and nasal cavity.Fortunately, he covered his mouth and sprayed all of it on the gold bricks. Fortunately, it didn't spray on the face of Emperor Tongzhi. The eunuch next to him hurriedly beat his back, and another eunuch handed him a wet towel.

"Your majesty, okay. I'm eating. Why do you mention me, Ama? If you want him to know that I'm here with you early in the morning, am I making fun of myself?" Zaicheng saw his old-fashioned "Ama" I'm afraid that he has always spoken harshly to him, only cared about his studies, and the articles he wrote were praised by his teacher Li Hongzao, but he still couldn't hear a good word from his Ama.

Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun smiled mischievously, and said, "You have a guilty conscience, you have done nothing wrong, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

"Okay, Your Majesty, you are biting Lu Tongbin like a dog, and you don't know good people. I'm gone, what are you doing here? I've become a ghost, am I still a human?" Zai Cheng made a gesture to get up and leave. The little temper and the Emperor Zhi want to give him three points.What's more, without him to guide the way and lead a clear way, Zai Chun would be brutally slaughtered again.

"Dorobeile, don't pretend. If you come, please be safe. I'll be right back. You just sit here and wait." Tongzhi Emperor Zai Chun had no choice but to get up and hold Zai Cheng, pulling him to continue eating his breakfast.

Zaicheng was also joking, how could he be really angry, even the emperor gave him face, so he sat on the porcelain stool to eat breakfast with peace of mind, and read the Zhu Zhu written in the memorial by Emperor Tongzhi when he was free.He is actually an extremely intelligent person with excellent literary talent, able to recite poems and compose Fu, and is a smart and studious person among Manchu people of the same age.But the mind is spent on eating, drinking and having fun, just like the children of Manchu Guijie, who did not learn well at a young age, and the family is too rich, no matter how much they can spend, they like to hang out in the dimly lit Huajie and Liuxiang, living a luxurious nightlife .

Counting the time, Emperor Tongzhi Zai Chun went to the study, hoping that the person who came to the study this morning was not Prince Gong Yixin.It is best to be the teacher Li Hongzao or the university scholar Wenxiang. These two old scholars are easy to fool, and they can just memorize an article and get away with it.Prince Gong Yixin is not easy to fool, show him a memorial, and then listen to his analysis and solution on the spot, don't give him a chance to cheat, how many tricks does he have?Prince Gong Yixin knew it all, and there was no excuse to avoid it.

Afraid of what to do, Prince Gong Yixin sat upright in the study, saw a stack of memorials on the case table, Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun knew it was over, the scene of "Praise the Official Parade" was gone, and it was going to disappear in the morning .

Prince Gong Yixin came from Chuxiu Palace of Empress Dowager Cixi, not from Xihua Gate. He got up in the morning to practice in Buku, and did a set of Tai Chi. He looked very energetic.I had breakfast with the Empress Dowager Cixi, drank Changbai Mountain ginseng tea, Poria cocos wolfberry porridge, and Yipin bird's nest.Xiao Dezhang took care of changing clothes, and changed into a sea blue river silk padded robe and a bluestone-colored cotton sand jacket, and it was a good time to come to the upper study.

Does Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun know about the relationship between Yixin and Empress Dowager Cixi?There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that for so many years, men have to think about that.Since Prince Gong Yixin doesn't even want the throne of regent, what else can he ask for as Tongzhi emperor Zaichun?Both sides will do their part, and no one will pierce the window paper.

Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun was still rejoicing that his mother-in-law Cixi only gave birth to his son, and no brother was qualified to compete with him for the throne of the emperor.And the emperor's uncle Yixin taught him to be a qualified king. He also wanted to be like his ancestor, Lord Kangxi.

Prince Gong Yixin was a prince who was exempted from kneeling, so he signed up to bow and perform the ceremony, and the monarch and ministers took their seats.The chief eunuch Liu Deyin served two bowls of horse milk. The two drank the horse milk first, and then talked about the topic.The other is preparing to fight for a long time, to find out the inner world of "Chun'er", and never let Emperor Tongzhi be a prodigal son.
