Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Concubine Duan's complexion suddenly changed, and her lips trembled a little.

"Are you afraid?"

Concubine Duan bit her lip and shook her head: "I am not afraid, as long as you are by my side, I will never be afraid."

Guan Xuqing embraced Concubine Duan in his arms, put his cheek against the other's cheek and said: "Fool, what I said was like that in the palace of the former Qing Dynasty, but such a thing would never happen in my palace."

Concubine Duan rubbed her cheek against the emperor's cheek, and said in a hot voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, I will not regret coming to Beijing, I will not regret it."

The first thing Guan Xuqing did when he returned to the palace was to call Empress Jingfen and the concubines from all the palaces to Tiandijiachun in Yuanmingyuan, where he set up a large banquet table and said to the women: "I am back this time. , to bring back a younger sister for all the concubines, let’s meet each other.”

The women chattered and laughed, and De Ling peeled a grape, put it in the emperor's mouth, and joked: "Your majesty, you went to North Korea to fight a war, which made our sisters worry about you all day long. As soon as the fight was over, you brought back a younger sister for us, and everyone said that Korean women are gentle and considerate, the emperor really has vision."

Rong Ling took the emperor's hand, rubbed it on his little hand and said, "Sister, if the emperor doesn't have eyes, how can he fall in love with you?"

De Ling spat lightly, and cursed: "What a vixen, how dare you play tricks on your sister, didn't the emperor also take a fancy to you?" Hiding behind Guan Xuqing, he resolutely said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are making decisions for my concubine. Is it wrong for my concubine to say that you have vision?"

De Ling opened his hands, showing a vicious look, and came to arrest Rong Ling, but was held by Concubine Zhen, and said: "Sister, don't make trouble, the emperor still has something to say."

Only then did De Ling stop and glared at Rong Ling, who grimaced back.

Guan Xuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to speak when the four-year-old fourth prince Pu Hua next to Concubine Zhen walked up to Ama at some point and pulled Guan Xuqing's sleeve. Following his fingers to look, he saw a dignified and generous concubine walking from the shadow of flowers and willows. Her long hair was pulled up and combed into "big pull wings", also known as flag bun, and she was wearing a pink lotus with green background. The flowered cheongsam, with tall clogs on the feet, walks gracefully and gracefully, like a lotus swaying, it is really beautiful.The one who came was none other than Dehui, who is now called Concubine Duan in the palace.

Guan Xuqing was stunned. He was used to seeing Concubine Duan in Korean clothes, but now she suddenly changed into a cheongsam, making her look more dignified and charming.Rong Ling couldn't help clapping her hands, shouting: "What a beauty, the emperor is really good at picking people."

Guan Xuqing nodded suddenly, and said in his mouth: "I haven't had time to introduce, this is the Concubine Duan I brought from North Korea. Let's get closer to each other in the future. Don't bully her just because she came from afar."

"Your Majesty, from what you said, it seems that our sisters are all cannibalistic tigresses. This sister looks very kind, and it's too late for us to like it." Concubine Zhen went forward and was the first to hold her. She took Concubine Duan's hand, rubbed it lightly, and continued to say: "Oh, look at how long this little hand is, it looks like two pairs of light white, pink and tender, I can't help but want to kiss two Well, no wonder the emperor is fascinated."

Concubine Duan blushed, she smiled and said nothing, just after she came to the palace, the old man in the palace taught some basic etiquette, and now they are selling it now, and gave a little blessing to Concubine Zhen and the other concubines.

Concubine Zhen dodged to the side, and said: "Oh, I don't dare to accept it. Later, the emperor should say that I, as a sister, will play with you as soon as we meet, Hua'er, come quickly..." Concubine Zhen said to her The fourth prince Pu Hua waved his hand, Pu Hua ran over with a smile, and snuggled up to his mother's lap, Concubine Zhen touched Pu Hua's head and said, "Quickly call Duan Concubine."

"Duan Cinderella." Pu Hua was young, and he still didn't know what to say, but this "Duan Cinderella" said it, which amused Guan Xuqing and everyone else.

Concubine Duan was a little embarrassed, she knew the rules, the prince called out "Duan Cinderella", and she wanted to prepare a meeting gift, but she came in a hurry, there was no preparation by her side, and she was in a hurry, Guan Xuqing said loudly: " Concubine Duan has just entered the palace, so she hasn't made many preparations, how about this, I will reward her first." Then he took off an emerald wrench from his thumb and put it in Pu Hua's little hand.

Pu Hua jumped up and down happily, Concubine Zhen hurried over, took the wrench from Pu Hua's hand, and said: "How can such a precious object be put in the child's hands." The thing in her hand was taken away by her mother, her mouth curled up, looking like she was about to cry, Concubine Zhen took another longan from the table and put it in Pu Hua's hand, "Let's play with this, it's more fun. Come on!" , First of all, I would like to thank Empress Duanfei."

Only then did Pu Hua turn his grief into joy, put the longan on his mouth, and shouted to Concubine Duan: "Thank you, Duan Cinderella."

One sentence made everyone amused again.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 569 Couplets

The eldest princess Xiaoyue, the second princess Xiaozhuang, the fourth prince Puxian, and the fifth prince Pujun had already run all over the place. Seeing that Puhua got the reward, the child's heart was unavoidably jealous, and they all opened their hands to ask for the reward, Guan Xuqing smiled Said: "The reward will be given, but first you have to meet the concubine Duan."

So the four children shouted together in a childish voice: "Duan Cinderella."

Concubine Duan saw that she was about to make a fool of herself again, so she had to look at the emperor and ask for help. Guan Xuqing laughed, took two rings and two jade pendants from her hands, and distributed them to the four children. They were ordered by their respective mothers before they were warmed up, and they were all replaced with longan and hawthorn, but the children couldn’t tell what was what, as long as they had something in their hands, they all ran to the side to play up.

Next is Pu De next to Concubine De. Pu De is 13 years old this year. Due to his German origin, he was born with fair complexion and slightly sunken eyes. At first glance, he looks like a handsome boy, and his figure is also taller than his peers. , Concubine De winked at her child, Pu De came to Concubine Duan, knelt down and kowtowed, behaved in a gentle and polite manner, just like an adult, "De'er pays homage to Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan smiled and helped Pu De up, looked at the emperor, Guan Xuqing smiled, and beckoned Pu De to her side: "How are you doing academically during the time I've been away from Beijing?"

"Reporting to my father, De'er learned "Book of Rites" and "University" from Master Luo Zhenyu, learned the British parliamentary system from Master Johnston, and also roughly read many mathematics and chemistry books, and gained a little income." Although Pu De He's not very old, but he speaks like an adult.

"Oh? I haven't seen you for three days. I really look at you with admiration. Hehe, I will test you. What do you think is the way of a gentleman?"

"The way of a gentleman lies in prudence and independence."

Guan Xuqing nodded, "What is the way to be a king?"

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it, so the way to be a king lies in benevolence."

"I will ask you again, what is the difference between the constitutional monarchy of the empire and the British?" This question is really difficult for the 13-year-old Pu De. , the political system of the United Kingdom lies in the Parliament." Although there were not many words, he immediately pointed to the fundamental difference between the two political systems.

Guan Xuqing looked at his child in surprise, he did not expect Pu De to improve so much in just one month, he was overjoyed immediately, and said with a loud smile: "Okay, okay, haha, I am very satisfied, now I will replace him Concubine Duan rewards you..." He pondered for a while and said, "I hope you will study hard, so I will reward you with a book from the Song Dynasty, "Baopu Zi Nei Pian", how about it?"

Concubine De was stunned when she heard this. This Song edition book is extremely precious, and it can be said that a single word is worth a thousand dollars, especially "Baopuzi Nei Pian", which is the earliest surviving court edition of the Song Dynasty, and it is a priceless treasure that the emperor valued. This book was given to Pu De, but the emperor loved him, so he immediately pulled Pu De to thank the emperor, Guan Xuqing waved his hand: "This is a gift from Concubine Duan, it has nothing to do with me, hehe..."

Everyone sat down again and chatted and laughed for a while, Jingfen took Concubine Duan's hand, looked her up and down, and praised repeatedly: What a lovely master.Then I asked Concubine Duan about some customs and habits of North Korea, and introduced some anecdotes and etiquette in the palace to her. Concubine Duan felt very strange when she first arrived in the palace, but seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, they were on par with her. No grievances, but like sisters, so I am not so timid in my heart.Guan Xuqing looked at so many beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, sitting around him, and felt as if he had been ironed several times in his heart. All the complicated state affairs and wars were all thrown out of the sky, and he shouted in a moment of joy: " All concubines, be quiet first, I have something to say."

Jingfen smiled and looked at the emperor, Concubine Zhen was talking vigorously with Rong Ling, but she stopped when De Ling pulled her sleeves, while Concubine Duan sat quietly all the time, with a shy smile on her face.

"Today, I have another beautiful woman beside me, and everyone has a younger sister. I am very happy, and I want to play a game with my concubines..."

Before Guan Xuqing finished speaking, Rong Ling yelled: "Don't play, don't play, you all bully me for being young, and always tease me in different ways, don't play!" Rong Ling pouted, looking very unhappy look.

Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "I don't play tricks, this time we will also engage in some literati matters. I will publish an upper couplet, and everyone will come to the second couplet. It is not enough to just get it right, but also to be subtle. I will reward you." .”

Concubine Li frowned and said: "Oh, my concubine doesn't know how to sing the wind and make the moon, so I'll quit first."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said, "Whoever withdraws will be fined to copy the Book of Songs once, so as to learn a lot."

Concubine Li hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, can I participate?"

Concubine Zhen said: "Speak quickly, Your Majesty, everyone is listening."

The queen just pursed her lips and smiled, while the other concubines sat upright, looking eager to try.

Guan Xu cleared his throat, looked around at the beautiful scenery of Yuanmingyuan, and then said: "Listen well, the first couplet is: Thousands of hectares of water and light, with thousands of fantasy, light and thick, paved into a picture."

All the concubines opened their eyes wide and were speechless for a long time. This Shanglian is too difficult, no matter whether there are numbers or overlapping words, Guan Xuqing added: "Beloved concubines, listen carefully, this Shanglian said The most important thing is the beautiful scenery in the Old Summer Palace, so the second couplet must also be composed of the beautiful scenery in the garden."

All the concubines are in trouble this time, even the concubine Zhen, who is usually outstanding in poetry, lowered her eyebrows and kept silent this time, thinking about the next couplet.

A cup of tea passed in a flash, and no one came up to him. Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "I gave you a chance, but if you don't come out, this treasure will not be rewarded."

Rong Ling hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, can you change to a simpler one, you are clearly embarrassing."

Guan Xuqing shook his head: "That's the only way to be interesting. If you don't match up, this game will be over."

Suddenly, Concubine Duan beside her said softly: "Your Majesty, I have come up with one, but I don't know if it counts as the second couplet."

"Oh?" Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect a woman from North Korea to match such a rare match, "Tell me, what is your second line?"

Concubine Duan chanted softly: "The emperor's upper couplet is: Thousands of hectares of water and light, with thousands of fantasy and fantasy, light and thick, paved into a painting. Is it right?"

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Not bad."

"The second couplet of my concubine is: A thousand-year-old love affair, if it happens to be so dripping, eloquent, it will arouse poetic emotion."

"Okay, what a poetic one, haha..." Guan Xuqing was overjoyed, this second couplet has neat lines of antithesis and appropriate words, it is really a wonderful sentence.

All the concubines also praised it one after another, which is right.

Concubine Zhen felt strange, so she asked, "Did my sister also study poetry in North Korea?"
