Chapter 2 Repairing the Garden

The first time I met Cixi, she was really like her name, with kind and kind eyes, but I know that this woman is far from being as simple as it seems.

While waiting outside the Tihe Hall, Li Lianying said as if he was pleased: Lord Lao Fu was talking to Prince Chun Fujin. I was still stunned at that time. Can this crime be so good?

It was not until Li Lianying came out of the Tihe Palace that I realized that Prince Chun Fujin, wasn’t that Cixi’s sister, and my daughter of Zai Tian. I felt cold in my heart, don’t be seen any flaws.

However, after entering the Tihe Hall, I realized that my worries were purely unnecessary. Prince Chun Fujin bowed his head and bowed, and didn't dare to look at me. Of course, I didn't dare to look at her more.

"My son greets my dear father." I knelt down, kowtowed, and greeted me. At this moment, I bid farewell to the past. From this moment on, I am no longer Ye Feng, my name is Aisin Gioro.

Zai Tian, ​​I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Guangxu.

Cixi was still talking and laughing. After hearing my greeting, she waved her hand and signaled me over and said, "Listen to Lianying, the emperor is still worried about the garden building today? Look, where are we filial children?" The last sentence was said to Prince Chun Fujin with a smile.

I am a little uncomfortable with Cixi like this. At this moment, she is really like a mother and elder who is telling home-crowds warmly, showing off to her sisters how filial her son is.

I glanced at my biological mother, and Prince Chun Fujin was responding with an awkward smile. A sadness arose in my heart. This poor woman, her son, was right in front of me, but her own sister deprived her mother of her happiness.

I pursed my lips, got up and walked into them, trying my best to make my face look normal, and sighed and said, "I am still short of money. My dear father, my son is incompetent and I can't think of a solution. It's all my dear father. Please punish me."

I think even if it is true Guangxu, it may only be possible to speak like me. Alas, the first thing is to understand and master this era first, and then slowly find opportunities to see if you can avoid the fate of being imprisoned in Yingtai. After all, it is not bad to go to Yingtai occasionally, but it is terrible to stay there for ten years.

Having said that, these words were really incompetent. They were not to give Cixi a garden to the point of not having money, but to be a slap in the face of being unable to satisfy the woman's own selfish desires! Thinking of this, the emotions fluctuated and I felt panicked, so don't see any flaws for Cixi.

Fortunately, it seems that Cixi thought I was anxious because of her incompetence, so she sat down and said, "Emperor, I can't even get anxious about money. My Qing Dynasty has not had a good fortune in recent years. Emperor, you have just taken power for a while, so you must know that many things are not urgent. Prince Chun is in good hands on the matter of building a garden. You must believe in the Qigong master." As she said that, she glanced at Prince Chun Fujin intentionally or unintentionally, which made her even more restrained.

Although she was a lady in gorgeous clothes, she looked very pitiful at this moment. I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but I was worried at this moment, so how could I show my slightest on my face? I knelt down and kowtowed, "What my dad taught me to regret is that my son has written it down."

Maybe because I noticed my sister's embarrassment, or because my performance was completely in line with her wishes, Cixi stood up and helped me up, smiled and said, "It's all a family, why are you talking about this?" She turned around and said to Prince Chun Fujin: "Sister, I'm a little hungry, the emperor shouldn't have eaten food yet. Let's use it together, right?"

Although it was an inquiry, it was not at all possible. Cixi took the lead to walk towards the side hall, and I followed her with her "mother". I was nervous, and I guess she was also mixed with emotion.

Li Lianying had arranged a meal there, of course, which was extremely luxurious delicacies. I had never heard of many dishes, but the three of them couldn't eat much. In addition, we "mother and son" had their own thoughts. Fortunately, Li Lianying talked about interesting things inside and outside the palace to relieve her boredom, so this supper was not that awkward.

After the meal, the "mother" said he wanted to go back to the palace. Cixi shook her hand and said no rush, and turned around and winked at Li Lianying. Li Lianying smiled and agreed, turned around and took a food box, and presented it to the "mother" and said, "This is what the Empress Dowager and the Emperor brought back to Prince Chun. You have collected it."

"Mother" was shocked, and took the food box and knelt down and said goodbye.

"Emperor, you have been thinking about Qingyi Garden for a day. Do you have any plans?" The only two people left in the hall of Tiehe Hall. I stood there, a little restrained. After finally Cixi asked, I quickly replied: "When I go back to my father, I heard that there is still a few million taels of silver in the Qingyi Garden project. My son thought it was not a big money. I wanted to borrow some from the princes and ministers in Beijing, so I dealt with it. I don't know if I think it right, so I ask my father to tell me." I pinched the silver notes in my sleeves and thought in my mind whether it should be taken out? Li Lianying said that I wanted me to hand it over to Prince Chun.

"Oh? Who are the emperor planning to find?" Cixi did not comment, and half-lying down as if she asked casually.

I suddenly became a little bit amazed. I had only a little understanding of the history of the late Qing Dynasty. Where can I report to me? So I bit the bullet and said, "First of all, Prince Gong and Prince Chun, Prince Qing should also donate some. These princes should also take out some of their father's birthday and fulfill their duties as ministers." As he spoke, he was nervous, afraid of making any mistakes.

"Oh." Cixi still said without comment, with a smile on her face and no expression was visible.

My heart tightened. Did you say something wrong?

"Dad, Li Anda also donated it. Today he contributed one million taels of silver, saying that he wanted to give you filial piety to your dad." As he said that, I took out the silver notes.

After thinking about it, she took it out. After all, Li Hongzhang was closer to Cixi. If it came to the ears of this old witch in the future, she would think I had some selfish intentions. Maybe I would think that I would please my biological father in private. Women, especially menopause women, maybe they might be.

I took the silver note to her, saw her lying lazily, and I made a fuss in my heart, and I would sell it to the end. After all, if I don’t serve this old witch in front of me, I might be locked up in Yingtai in advance. I squatted down and lowered my head and gently beat her legs.

"Emperor..." After a while of silence, Cixi finally spoke. She was moved by her voice: "You are my son, your own son."

After hearing her talk, I let go of my heart. This old witch is not without emotion. I don’t know if I handed over the silver bill or hit her legs and touched her.

"I asked Li Lianying to give you the silver notes." As soon as she said that, I realized that Li Lianying was really cunning. She couldn't help but feel anger in her heart, and she actually lied to me. Fortunately, I just took it out, otherwise I would have to pass the test and say a little bit.

"Ah?", I calmed down, pretended to be incompetent, and looked at Cixi blankly.

"Haha, son, I told him to do this, don't blame Lianying." Cixi helped me up, got up and walked, saying, "I just want to see if you are my son, or remember that she is Lao Qi's son. Emperor, my dear father, is not at ease..." Cixi's throat was full of tears. (Lao Qi refers to Guangxu's father Yi Huan, who is the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang and the younger brother of Xianfeng.)

"Of course my son is the son of my dear father. My dear father..." How could I miss this opportunity to show loyalty? "Mother and son" sobbed in the head.

After a while, Cixi said, "It's getting late, so my son should go and rest earlier. What you said just now makes sense, but..." She hesitated for a moment, as if she was remembering something, and then said, "Don't look for Lao Liu, Humph, you uncle six, are you monkey sperm!"

"Yes, I will regret it by my father's teaching, and my son will leave." Why don't I leave? So I finished my salute and slowly retreated to leave the hall. But suddenly I remembered, where should I go? I am a fake.

Fortunately, Cixi spoke again: "Emperor, go see the queen today. You young couple, don't get along." This sentence was said without any yin and yang, and it completely lost the warmth of the past. Then she raised her voice and said: "Lianying, send the emperor back."
