Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Seeing Wang Shang's swollen cheeks, Guan Xuqing actually laughed too, and patted Wang Shang's shoulder: "Get up. You are just acting according to etiquette. I have no reason to blame you."

Only then did Wang Shang stand up timidly: "Actually, the slave wanted to ask the emperor just now, which master should I go to today?"

Guan Xuqing smiled: "I'm tired today, so I won't go anywhere. You've worked hard enough, go take a rest early."

"Zha. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Wang Shang wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said to himself that being with you is like being with a tiger.

Soaring Heads: World War I 3Chapter 17 Demonstrations in Britain and France

Guan Xuqing was drowsy, and fell asleep from the time the lamp was turned on until five drums the next day. Wang Shang bit the bullet and came to wake the emperor up. When Guan Xuqing saw that it was Wang Shang, his head was about to explode. On New Year's Eve, there is an old set of rules: to burn incense everywhere, to have breakfast, to receive congratulations from princes and ministers, to meet princes and princes from foreign vassals, to meet ambassadors from various countries in China, and so on.Ambassadors from various countries walked past Danxi like a revolving lantern, and all said long live to His Majesty the Emperor, and handed over the salutes of their heads of state, but the envoys of Britain and France came to pay their respects together as if they had discussed it in advance. After finishing, the British envoy Ercini said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift from the Queen of the Empire. There are Western eight-treasure musical clocks, Charlie's battle sword, gold armor, and ..." Esiniro talked non-stop. It seems that the Queen of England presented a lot of congratulatory gifts this year. Guan Xuqing patiently listened to him, and then ordered the eunuchs to put all the gifts in the box. And he gave a gift back to Britain, and said to Ercini: "I turn around and send my regards to Her Majesty the Queen. I appreciate her kindness. Although there are some differences in views between China and Britain, the overall development is good. Positive Yes, I believe this is also the common wish of the monarchs of the two countries and even the people of the two countries."

Ercini immediately showed surprise on his face: "These words His Majesty the Great Emperor said are as precious as gold. I will definitely pass them on to Her Majesty the Queen later. The friendship between the two countries will never be affected by a little bit of friction." Impact."

At this time, the French Minister Bardenot could no longer hold back, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Chinese army has taken an extremely unfriendly attitude towards the French army in the Marne area recently. May I ask if you want to establish an army in Europe?" A new hegemonic order?"

This sentence was extremely rude, and it was such a festive moment, Guan Xuqing suddenly changed his face, and said: "Mr. Badeno, did the sentence you questioned me just now represent you personally or the French government?"

Badeno was at a loss for words for a moment, his face flushed red, and he was speechless for a while, and his confidence was obviously lacking when he spoke again: "Then, some time ago, our garrison in the Qizi area was attacked by soldiers from an unknown country. How do you comment on this matter?"

Guan Xuqing's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "First of all, I don't know about this matter, so it is not appropriate to make too many comments, but I believe that even if such a thing really happened, there must be a deep reason."

Badeno felt a puff of breath stuck in his throat, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Whether it is China, Britain or China, we are all friendly friends and share many common interests in world affairs. I believe that what Budeno said just now is just to confirm to His Majesty, but there are some misunderstandings in the words." The sophisticated Ercini hurried forward to make a drink.

Guan Xuqing nodded: "If what Mr. Bardeneau said represents him personally, I will take it as his impulsiveness. In short, the prospects for economic and trade cooperation between China and France are very broad, and the momentum of development is also good. .”

Badeno hurriedly found a way out for himself: "Of course, of course, of course it represents me personally and has nothing to do with our government, hehe..."

Afraid that the matter would become tense, Ercini chatted with the emperor a few more words, and pulled Budeno back out.

In this way, a busy day passed, and at night, the emperor would have a family banquet with his family members, which is equivalent to the common people having a New Year's Eve dinner with their families on New Year's Day.Guan Xuqing sat around with all the concubines. At this time, Guan Xuqing could let go of the majesty of the emperor and become a real ordinary person, a husband, and a father.

After the family banquet, Guan Xuqing brought the family members to the "Fanghu Scenic Spot" in the Yuanmingyuan to enjoy the scenery. The concubines surrounded the emperor one after another, chattering non-stop, some even peeled the fruit with their own hands for the emperor to eat, and some gave it to the emperor. Beating his back and pinching, and some telling jokes to the emperor, Guan Xuqing only felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally. He glanced inadvertently. Among the concubines, there was no impostor. For many days, since the daughter of the Japanese emperor came to the emperor , completely ignored the etiquette system in the palace, never had contact with other concubines, and never even bribed the people around the emperor to invite the emperor to be lucky.But Guan Xuqing's interest in her not only did not weaken, but became more intense.Guan Xuqing left the concubines and walked quietly along the lake...

In the warm and cold early spring night, there is still a little chill in the air.Maozi sat curled up in the gazebo in the garden with his arms around his knees, silently watching the pool of water that was as smooth as a mirror below.In the ears, the sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard and the babbling arias of Kunqu opera can be faintly heard.In addition, of course, there are also loud voices and colorful fireworks in the sky.But she would rather choose to stay alone in this quiet corner.

Due to the noise and excitement, she couldn't help but think back to the Spring Festival in Kyoto that just passed. The first Spring Festival in China gave her a chaotic impression, and it was by no means a happy one.During this period of time, various activities in the palace were frequent, and the visits between the royal family and courtiers were even more frequent.The person in his heart has been exhausted by all kinds of activities these days, and he has no time to accompany her. Only on the day of the Laba Festival, he came to her bedroom and accompanied her to Tiandi Family Spring Festival. Enjoy the view.

As in the past, Maozi didn't pay much attention to this traditional festival shared by China and Japan.At that time, the Meiji Restoration was in full swing. Like most of her peers, she paid attention to those fashionable foreign festivals, and dismissed old antiques like the Spring Festival.But here it is completely different.On New Year's Eve, only Qingfeng with a bitter face accompanied her.Listening to the deafening sound of firecrackers coming from outside the courtyard wall, she felt as if she was abandoned by the whole world, and her heart was infinitely desolate.Before New Year's Eve, the emperor came to see her early, his face was tired, and even his eyes were red. It was said that he was staying in the palace all night to watch the new year and deal with those bad things in Europe.Looking at his pale face, she barely suppressed her complaints.He hurried out again without a cup of tea, leaving her with an apologetic smile, but she didn't regret coming to this distant country at all.

At this time, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stone steps path, and tried to open her eyes wide to look around, only to see a vague figure gradually approaching the gazebo in the darkness.It wasn't until the man walked into the gazebo that she realized that it was the person she was missing.

"Why are you hiding here alone?" Guan Xuqing approached Maozi softly, as if afraid of disturbing a beautiful dream.

"Your Majesty, how did you find this place?" Maozi was overjoyed, his face was hot for a while, but then he recovered his calm expression, and even sat there with his knees hugged, without even giving a salute.

Not only was Guan Xuqing not angry, but he laughed, and then he sat down casually beside her, looked around, smacked his lips and said, "The scenery here is not bad, you have a good eye. Of course, when it comes to garden views, It’s still not as natural as Japanese ones.”

"Is the party over?" Mao Zi asked lightly.

"No." Guan Xuqing shook his head and looked at her puzzled.

"Since they didn't leave, you should have stayed with them. Why did you run to accompany me alone?" Maozi's tone was a little reproachful, but there was no sign of resentment on his face, and he blushed even more.

"Oh..." Guan Xuqing raised his hand and patted the pillars beside him, shook his head and said, "The more lively it is, the more bored I feel. So I came to chat with you for a while and enjoy the quiet."

The maozi didn't speak, his eyes looked at the steamy lake, as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Guan Xuqing saw that she had kept her head bowed in silence, and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"It's nothing." She came back to her senses all of a sudden, raised her head and said, "I also felt bored, so I slipped out. I'm a humble orphan girl in a foreign land, staying in the empress, the imperial concubine is too obtrusive..."

Guan Xuqing opened his mouth slightly at first, looked at her as if he didn't understand, and then laughed loudly, saying repeatedly: "Happy! Happy!"

He went on to say: "Then how about I also make you a noble concubine?"

"No need, as long as I can be by your side, see you often, and hear your voice, I will be content." Maozi said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Guan Xuqing Suddenly his body shook, and he slowly turned his head to look at Maozi's beautiful side face, speechless for a long time.

The two sat quietly like this, looking at the calm lake, silent.

"I don't know if God sent you to my side?" Guan Xuqing said suddenly, his eyes still fixed on the lake.

The maozi hid her face in the shadow, and couldn't see the expression on her face at all. She avoided the topic and said, "I saw you and the generals betting on ice archery that day. That's a lot."

Guan Xuqing looked at her and laughed: "Do you think it is easy to be an emperor? Not only do you have to deal with political affairs, you have to think about all aspects, and you also have to be physically strong, with both civil and military skills."

"It would be great if I could skate." Maozi sighed, caressing the cold pillars, and said leisurely: "I really hope to skate with you one day."

"If you want to skate, why didn't you tell me earlier, I can take you there in a few days after I'm done with these bad things. If spring starts after a while, the ice will melt, and I won't be able to skate until next year." Guan Xuqing came on a whim, and then suddenly asked excitedly: "Can you fish? Even if the ice and snow melt and you can't slip, I can still take you fishing in the North Sea."

"Really?" There was a smile on her pale face, but it disappeared suddenly, "I don't know if your other wives will agree."

"Hehe, I didn't expect a woman like you to be jealous. Don't worry, no one dares to object to the decision I made." Guan Xuqing promised confidently.

"I won't object to anything? It's just that I don't want to cause other people's unhappiness because of my appearance." Maozi said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, none of my wives are tricky, I keep my word, and I will definitely take you fishing when I come back from a tour in Shanghai." Guan Xuqing once again made a promise.

"Your Majesty, who are you calling tricky?" A crisp voice sounded behind Guan Xuqing. Guan Xuqing turned around and saw a beautiful woman walking gracefully from outside the pavilion. It's Queen Jingfen.Even though she had given birth to two princes, Pu Yin and Pu Hua, for the emperor, she still maintained a good figure, and she also had a little more charm.

"Is it all gone already?" Guan Xuqi asked and stood up with a smile and said, "I was talking to Maozi just now that I can take her to the North Sea to go fishing, so that she won't be bored here. The queen will definitely not against it, isn't it?"

"Fishing? Of course I won't object." Although she was answering the emperor's words, her gaze remained on the maozi's face, with a trace of inquiry.

The maozi just looked back, and then cast his gaze into the misty mist.

Jingfen pretended to blame and said: "Your Majesty, I said why I can't find you everywhere, so you are hiding here and speaking ill of my concubine."

Guan Xuqing laughed loudly, took Jingfen's hand, pointed to the line between the sea and the sky, and said, "Zitong, look, Maozi has found the best view in Yuanmingyuan."

Jingfen looked along the emperor's fingers, and saw the bright yellow moonlight hidden behind the night mist at the line of the sea and the sky. Taking advantage of the water color, there was a kind of sad and blurred beauty, like a lover's sad eyes, the beauty is heart-warming. broken!

"I'm going back to the palace first." Maozi said in a low voice, bowed to the emperor and queen, and then, accompanied by Qingfeng, walked out of the pavilion slowly with small steps.

Guan Xuqing smiled awkwardly, and said to Jingfen: "She just goes straight like this, she does what she thinks, she doesn't hide the slightest bit. You...don't take it too seriously."

Jingfen caressed the emperor's hand, rested her head on the other's shoulder, and said: "Why have I been overwhelmed by such a trivial matter for so many years? You are the emperor, and you are not okay with it. What else will I do?" ?”

Guan Xuqing cupped Jingfen's face and kissed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Recently, I have been busy with political affairs, and I have neglected you, and I want you to give birth to a little prince for me in the future."

Jingfen patted Guan Xuqing's shoulder lightly: "If you regenerate a concubine, you will become an old woman, and the emperor will definitely not like me by then."

Guan Xuqing said emotionally: "How could it be? Even if you really become old and ugly, you are still my favorite woman."

Listening to Guan Xuqing's words, Jingfen felt obsessed, shed tears in a daze, and then threw herself into the other's arms with a groan.Under the hazy moonlight, the two hug each other tightly...
