Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye was busy preparing for his wedding in Jinan, but a big red invitation was rushed from Jinan to Beijing over 700 miles away.

At Prince Gong's residence, when Yi Xin opened the invitation, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Good boy! You even hid it from me, and you wanted to marry two beauties without saying a word. How could it be so easy? It's really abominable! Well, no matter what, since the invitation has arrived, I have to prepare a good gift. Not only do I have to prepare it, I'm afraid the two concubines will also need to be informed. After all, Liu Ye saved the two concubines and the emperor's lives, and this friendship is waiting for you."

Prince Gong took a sip of his fragrant tea, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Ejier, go to the treasury and take out the two jade Guanyin statues that I have. Then, take out 50,000 taels of silver and 8,000 taels of gold. Have someone ride fast horses and send them to Jinan at an urgent speed of 700 miles!"

Ejier was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, who are you giving this gift to? It's so valuable!"

Forget about the gold and silver, the two Jade Guanyin statues alone are priceless. They are crystal clear, nearly three feet tall, and the figures are depicted in every detail. They are absolutely divine artifacts in the land. I'm afraid you can't buy even one without a hundred thousand taels of silver!

Who has such a big face? It seems that there are only two people in Shandong now, one is Senggelinqin, the prince of Khorchin, and the other is Liu Ye. However, since everything is peaceful now, why send such an expensive gift? Even Senggelinqin would feel it was too hot to hold in his hand!

As for Liu Ye, this kid just got through the hard times with the help of the prince. Even if he should give a gift, it should be given to his own prince. How can he have it reversed?

Prince Gong laughed and said, "You little bastard, hurry up and do it! In three days, less than three days, Liu Ye will be getting married. I can't go, so I can only send some gifts as a token of my appreciation. I heard that Dong E is as beautiful as a fairy. I don't know if it's true, a common girl can actually bewitch our great general. It's a pity that we can't feast our eyes on her..."

amount……

Ejil then understood that Liu Ye's wedding was such a thing that the Emperor and the two Empress Dowagers would have to express their approval. Since the British and French invasions, in less than three years, Liu Ye had made many great achievements. It could be said that it was entirely thanks to him that northern China was kept safe.

"twitter!"

Ejil quickly agreed and ran out in a hurry. Time was pressing. It was nearly a thousand miles from Beijing to Jinan, and it would be impossible to deliver the gift without two days.

Prince Gong stood up and murmured, "It seems that I must go to the palace. If I miss something, I'm afraid I'll be blamed by my two sisters-in-law."

When Prince Gong told the two Empress Dowagers the news, Ci'an was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Liu Ye's wedding? This is a big deal, but why are you so anxious? We at the court want to express our opinion, but we're afraid it's too late."

Cixi on the other side snorted coldly and said, "Humph, what's so great about marrying a wife? Do you have to alarm us?"

Prince Gong and Ci'an were stunned. Normally, Cixi and Liu Ye had a very harmonious relationship. Cixi's support for Liu Ye was probably greater than anyone else's. Although Cixi had been avoiding suspicion, she could not hide it from those who were interested.

What happened today? It was obvious that the Holy Mother Queen Mother was dissatisfied!

Ci'an asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong? Although Liu Ye's actions were a bit abrupt, they are understandable. The three of us have been indebted to him for many years, and we have made great military achievements. If we don't show some appreciation, I'm afraid we'll alienate his loyal followers."

Prince Gong, standing by, quickly said, "That's right, Empress Dowager. I think not only should the two imperial sisters-in-law express their gratitude, but the emperor should also express his gratitude. After all, he was instrumental in saving the emperor outside Miyun City..."

Cixi felt secretly ashamed. Damn it, she was so busy being jealous that she showed it so obviously. She really shouldn't have done that.

Cixi nodded and replied, "Sister, Sixth Master, you can handle this matter as you see fit. I'm not angry, I'm just a little surprised."

Ci'an nodded and asked, "Sister, what do you think we should do?"

Cixi frowned and replied, "Sister, I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I won't say much. Just discuss it with Sixth Master. As for my gift, we'll talk about it later."

Cixi shook her head, stood up from her seat, and whispered, "Xiao Anzi, help me back to the palace!"

An Dehai hurried in and helped Cixi walk outside. When they reached the door, Cixi stumbled and almost fell. She glared at An Dehai fiercely and said in a low voice: "Damn slave, how can you serve me? Are you itchy?"

An Dehai apologized repeatedly and walked out carefully while serving.

Inside the room, Ci'an and Prince Gong were left staring at each other in bewilderment. What had happened to Xibian today? He was acting so strangely, was he really unwell?

However, time was running out and things had to be settled, so the uncle and his sister-in-law began to discuss how to deal with the matter.

Cixi staggered back to the West Warm Pavilion, waved her hand, and said, "Xiao Anzi, you go out first and wait outside the door."

An Dehai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hunched over and retreated. Oh my god, the Queen Mother is acting a little abnormally today, but I have to be careful in serving her, otherwise I will definitely suffer the consequences.

Cixi leaned blankly on the bed, her head full of Liu Ye's shadow. Damn it, this guy actually hid such a thing from her. He had only been away from the capital for a few days, didn't he know to tell her in advance? He married two wives at once, Ehuang and Nvying, he was going to enjoy the happiness of having two wives. Damn it, he was so happy, but he had to hide in the deep palace and suffer alone. It was really annoying!

But what could he do? He absolutely could not be disrespectful in this matter. The Easterners had already expressed their opinions to the Emperor and even the Prince Regent. If he did not express his attitude, the court and the people would become even more suspicious!

Cixi sighed, wondering when she could truly escape this palace. Others thought she was obsessed with power, but who knew she was simply unable to relieve the loneliness in her heart, forcing her to shift her energy to the struggle for power?

Cixi thought about it for a long time, and finally had to bite her teeth and prepare gifts. Even if she was preparing gifts, they were for the two sisters. You, Liu Ye, have no share! Damn it, when you return to the capital, I will make you pay!

Of course, when Liu Ye returns to Beijing, I wonder who will be in a good mood!
