Chapter 20
.The Emperor Xianfeng in Beijing's Forbidden City had a good life. Among the new talent show girls like flowers, he had a unique eye for Lan'er, who was well-behaved, smart, and good at singing. This Lan'er was not only beautiful, but also extraordinary, especially the Beijing accent with a southern tone, which sounded even more fascinating.
It is strange that since the day Lan'er was named Yi Guiren, a frenzy in Guangxi has been causing trouble. As she gained the favor of the emperor, the disaster of the hairy people has become more and more serious and has become uncontrollable. Among the officials and the harem, many rumors spread, saying that Lan'er is afraid that she is a fox-like girl like Daji.
Some words could naturally be heard in Xianfeng's ears, and he didn't believe it. From the day he ascended the throne, he wanted to be the lord of revival. Being favored the harem did not affect his diligence in government affairs. Although his temper was more irritable than the previous emperor, he firmly believed that he was not King Zhou. These words were simply spread because of the harem's favor.
However, the development of the matter began to make him a little confused. In March, he wanted to add Lan'er, who was Yipin, but he just told Lan'er that the long-lasting brothers had conquered Jinling. It seemed that it would be impossible to believe some things, so he had to give up this plan for the time being.
Despite this, he still did not give up his favor for Lan'er.
"Your Majesty, this garden is better, it's much cooler than the Forbidden City." Lan'er held a folding fan and slapped Xianfeng gently, smiling charmingly.
Xianfeng smiled. Indeed, as soon as he arrived at the Old Summer Palace, he temporarily put aside the chaotic government affairs, and he felt much more relaxed.
Seeing Xianfeng's eyes swept towards the fruit plate on the table, Lan'er walked over lightly, took a bunch of grapes, picked the largest one, peeled off the skin, and put it in Xianfeng's mouth, "Your Majesty, this kind of grape tastes good."
"Yeah, that's good." Xianfeng just likes Lan'er's cleverness, and she seems to be able to see her heart.
Lan'er used her hands to continue the grape kernels spitting out by Xianfeng, "Your Majesty, you have lost weight recently."
Xianfeng touched his face and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, this government is not a matter of one day or two. You should pay attention to your dragon body." Lan'er carefully peeled the grape skin and comforted her a little worriedly.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of the government's affairs," Xianfeng stood up and walked a few steps. "What makes me upset the most are the chaotic bandits such as Changmao."
"Your Majesty, I heard that the elders conquered Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and Luzhou was also lost?"
"Yes," Xianfeng frowned, "not only that, the eight hundred miles of rush two days ago were sent by Anqing and Jiujiang. The Changmaozi are approaching there. Moreover, the Changmao and his group have crossed the Yellow River. It seems that they have the intention of attacking the capital."
"The long-haired men crossing the Yellow River are not scary. We also have the elite horse team of the Mongolian monks, which will be useful at that time. But when Anqing and Jiujiang are thrown away, Wuchang is dangerous again." Lan'er held the peeled grapes in her hand and looked at Xianfeng in confusion. "Didn't the emperor arrange for Xiang Rong and Qishan to form two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei? Why would the long-haired men be so arrogant?" Before Xianfeng could speak, she shook her head again, "In my opinion, they are still not working hard."
After hearing what Lan'er said, Xianfeng smiled slightly, "Then tell me."
Lan'er said without thinking: "Isn't it obvious? Xiang Rong has dragged many old men in Jinling. If Qishan can take the opportunity to recapture Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, it will be like cutting off the old men's retreat, and Anqing and Jiujiang will naturally be peaceful. Your Majesty, don't you?"
"That's the reason." Xianfeng nodded, "However, Xiang Rong's words were still mentioned, that Qishan's Jiangbei Camp repeatedly said that the military strength had not been concentrated yet and was unable to fight."
"Your Majesty, this is because your heart is so kind." Lan'er smiled. She put the grapes in her hand into Xianfeng's mouth and said nothing. Lan'er, Yehenara, descendant of Mongolia, is the 200-year history of the Qing Dynasty. No one can avoid it. He must also place a lot of ink on the Lao Buddha and Empress Dowager Cixi.
Although Lan'er, who was seventeen years old, lived in the south since childhood and had the tenderness of a beautiful southern girl, was still the typical character of northerners, with perseverance and strength in her bones. According to the Qing Dynasty's ancestral system, the harem could not interfere in the government affairs, so she stopped her words at the right time. Doing so would not only make the emperor understand his intelligence, but also make the emperor feel that he did not want to participate in the court affairs.
Xianfeng looked at the nobleman Yi in front of him carefully for a while. He understood the meaning of her words, "Yeah, you said it well."
"I'm just talking nonsense. Master, don't take it to your heart." Lan'er lowered her head and said softly.
Xianfeng pulled up her soft little hand, thinking about the other favorite concubines in the harem, and felt really moved, "I feel that you are different from them. Let's do this, and you will help me deal with the memorials submitted by various places in the future, so that I can save my worries."
"How can this be done?" Lan'er's face turned red, "Your Majesty, is this asking me to violate the ancestral system?"
Xianfeng closed his eyes gently and shook his head, "I am really a little tired."
"Report to the Emperor, Lord Shengbao and the Huaiqing Prefecture Office sent an emergency memorial of 800 miles, and asked the Emperor to read it." A small eunuch appeared at this time in an inappropriate manner.
Xianfeng frowned, "Why can't I ask me to be comfortable, even if it's just a while?"
"Your Majesty, you can't blame them for this." Lan'er took the memorial from the little eunuch, and told him to go down quickly, turning his face and smiling, "Your Majesty, the matter in the court is the first priority."
"Oh, I planned to come here to have some leisure time with you for a few days," Xianfeng sighed and waved his hand, "Okay, just think of me. I'm lazy to see these things like mourning."
Lan'er hesitated for a moment, looked at the emperor, finally opened the memorial, and only glanced briefly, a bright smile immediately surged on her face, "Oh, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"
Xianfeng was a little strange, "Where did you come from?"
"The imperial envoy wins the Bao report, and the elders who besieged Huaiqing have been completely defeated, killing tens of thousands of bandits, and all the remaining troops retreated across the Yellow River." Lan'er shouted happily while watching the memorial.
"Okay!" Xianfeng slapped his thighs and stood up excitedly, "Now the north of the Yellow River, you can be worry-free. Sheng Bao did a good job. I want to give him a yellow jacket."
"After all, it's all the emperor's wise. Yinubei thinks it should be rewarded by the emperor." Lan'er giggled and opened the memorial of the prefect Huaiqing.
"Haha, my beloved concubine can speak," Xianfeng hugged her and kissed her gently on her pink face, "Tell me, how should I reward me?"
"Lan'er will sing a little song for the emperor later, and will accompany the emperor." Lan'er smiled shyly.
Who said that my Lan'er was unlucky? Lan'er was Lan'er. Only she understood herself the most. Xianfeng felt sweet, "Then I want to hear it now, and" his hands rubbed against Lan'er's plump chest.
"Then you have to finish these two memorials?" Lan'er said in a low voice, "Look at these two memorials. Apart from confessing their merits, they are attacking each other. One said that the other party killed good deeds and harassed the people in the city; the other said that the other party used the excuse to defend the city and robbed the city. But it's true that if you have this little energy, you will use it for major affairs in the court, so how much worry should you give the emperor a lot."
