Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An official sedan, escorted by a long entourage, meandered along the streets and alleys extending in all directions in Beijing towards the west of the city.  Because Lin Yizhe's meeting today was in Sanhai, not the Forbidden City.  The sedan chair moves very steadily. All the sedan bearers in Beijing have "foot" skills passed down from their families, and their movements have a certain standard. This kind of sedan-carrying skill has been practiced for many years. They walk neither fast nor slow.  , smooth and stable, so that people sitting in the sedan will not feel any discomfort.  Lin Yizhe noticed that in the pastel tea bowl with the lid lifted on the sedan table, the rich fragrant tea only made circles of ripples, but not a drop of water splashed out.  Today's meeting was decided a few days ago. He will donate six "point-and-shoot" cameras that he has built to the Empress Dowager Cixi.  Lin Yizhe sat in the stable sedan chair, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.  He still has lingering fears when he thinks about the last "donation" incident.  He now has a deep understanding of the insidiousness and viciousness of the "patriotic" gang promoted in mainstream textbooks of later generations.  Lin Yizhe in the sedan closed his eyes slightly and began to adjust his breathing consciously.  He knew that even if the same thing happened to him this time, he would not be impulsive.  Lin Yizhe was thinking about what might happen for a while, when he suddenly felt his feet sink. Then he saw the sedan curtain lifted, and a voice said respectfully: "Sir, we've arrived." Lin Yizhe bowed and got out of the sedan.  After he came out, the guards ushered him into the garden, and soon after he handed him the sign.  While I was waiting there, I suddenly saw several palace maids walking towards me surrounded by a young beauty in palace clothes.  When Lin Yizhe saw her, he couldn't help but trembled all over his body and stood stunned on the spot.  "Zhao Yuetong" The beauty in palace attire in front of her is wearing a large winged flag head. On the right side of the flag head is a gorgeous pink and purple peach blossom, and on the left side are deep and light pink jade carved flower petals with layers of buckles and pure gold and black beads.  The forehead decoration is made of gold carvings, with jade-carved bead pendants in four colors of red, orange, yellow and brown, leaving deep and light green tassels swaying on the shoulders.  She was wearing a very well-fitting pink, purple and blue robe with a round neck, open placket on the left and right, and straight sleeves.  There is a dragon embroidered on the front and back of both shoulders.  The lapel becomes four dragons.  The outer cuffs of the robe are exquisitely embroidered, and the off-white inner lines are embroidered with blue and pink rhombus patterns. The dark blue inner sleeves are embroidered with pink butterflies, which are full of poetry and painting, making her look extraordinary.  Judging from her clothing, she must be a concubine.  Lin Yizhe looked at her intently, yes!  Almost the same as Zhao Yuetong.  This concubine has a typical face with oval seeds, snow-skinned red lips, a pair of beautiful eyes that are looking around, and her lips are slightly pursed, as if she is smiling, while she looks at people.  It always makes people feel that she can see into your heart.  "How dare you! It's you who called the Queen Yu's name too? Why don't you kneel down in front of me!" an older lady-in-charge next to the concubine shouted sternly.  Lin Yizhe let this shout bring him back from his trance. He realized that he had recognized the wrong person, and at the same time he also realized that he had just lost his composure. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but step forward immediately.  Kneel down.  "Xiaguan is a doctor in the Processing Department with the title of Fujian Naval Affairs Bureau, and is Lin Yizhe, assistant committee member of the Fujian Shipping Administration. Say hello to Master Yu." After a pause, "Xiaguan was blind and mistook Empress Yu for an old friend from back then.  If you offend your Majesty, you will be punished by death. I hope you will forgive me for the crime of disobedience. How many heads do you have?" A little palace maid in green brocade said reluctantly.  .  "Tui'er, talk too much!" Concubine Yu stopped the little palace maid named Cui'er. She looked at Lin Yizhe, who was kneeling there and arrogant after announcing the home, and the anger just now disappeared unconsciously. The name of her mother's family  , called Zhao Yurong, and the name Lin Yizhe shouted just now did not seem to be his own name, although it sounded somewhat similar.  After hearing Lin Yizhe's explanation just now, she knew that the other party had recognized the wrong person, so she forgave him for his rudeness.  And in this royal forbidden garden, he shouted out that name regardless of everything, which shows the depth of his affection.  Thinking that she might have the same appearance as the woman he was so obsessed with, she couldn't help but blush slightly.  "There are many people with similar looks in the world, and it is common to admit mistakes occasionally. It doesn't matter, Sir Lin, please come up." Yubi regained her composure in an instant, raised her hand and said.  "Thank you, Concubine Yu." Lin Yizhe stood up respectfully. He resisted the urge to look at her face and lowered his head as he said.  "Master Lin came here. I think he was summoned by the old Buddha. I wonder what you are doing here?" There was a hint of softness in Yubi's voice, which sounded like a spring breeze. Lin Yizhe was worried.  My heart gradually relaxed.  "Xiaguan"According to the decree of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother came to present a new fully automatic camera made by Xiaguan.  "Lin Yizhe replied. "Oh!  It's the foreign machine from last time that can take photos of people with just one click!  "Tui'er said happily. "No rules!  Tweety!  "Yu Bin turned around and glanced at Cui'er. Cui'er immediately lowered her head, stood aside with her hands lowered, and said no more. At this moment, a little eunuch trotted into the main entrance. After a while, Lin Yizhe saw a  The handsome young eunuch wearing a lapis lazuli crown quickly walked out. Lin Yizhe immediately recognized his identity. He was the young eunuch who served Cixi in his early years and was later praised by later generations for his direct advice to the Queen Mother.  The good eunuch Kou Liancai.  Kou Liancai, who was running out in a hurry, didn't seem to notice Lin Yizhe, a young official standing carefully aside. He first saluted Concubine Yu, and then said with a smile, "Lafayette is calling you right now!"  " At this moment, Lin Yizhe saw six more Lan Ling eunuchs, each of whom was holding a square red lacquer box in his hand and walking over from the Xiyuan Gate. Those lacquer boxes were exquisitely made and were all precious.  Made of red carving lacquer, when Lin Yizhe saw these boxes, he couldn't help adjusting his official robes - these boxes were all brought by him, and they contained the latest fully automatic cameras he had developed.  Later known as the "point-and-shoot camera") At this time, another Lanling eunuch ran out of the palace and immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan Lin Yizhe!  " "I'm here!"  " Lin Yizhe immediately responded loudly. He calmed down for a moment, shook his sleeves, and was about to say goodbye to Concubine Yu, when he heard Concubine Yu say: "Since it is Lafayette who has summoned Mr. Lin, then come with me.  .  " Lin Yizhe was originally apprehensive about this meeting, but at this moment, when he heard her say this, those nervous and uneasy emotions disappeared inexplicably. "Yes, Empress Yubi.  "Lin Yizhe now completely regained his usual composure. He bowed and saluted Concubine Yu again. Concubine Yu nodded slightly and walked in front. Lin Yizhe lowered his head slightly and followed step by step at the end of the ceremony.  In the distance. After passing through the garden gate and entering the garden, Lin Yizhe felt the coolness of the water and the coldness of the moss and rocks. Most of the sweat he had accumulated on the way here had disappeared since he settled down in Beijing.  In the past month, there have only been two light rains that slightly wet the ground in Beijing. Because the streets and alleys in Beijing are lined with rows of houses and the crowds are densely populated, unless there is a strong wind on weekdays,  , even the treetops rarely move. Therefore, when this midsummer arrives, it is even more humid and breathless. Lin Yizhe can¡¯t imagine that in the furnace-like city of Beijing, there is something special in the royal summer garden.  It's a different kind of cave! Now Lin Yizhe understands why the imperial court's office is not in the Forbidden City, but in this beautiful garden with pavilions, towers, and green ponds.  A beautiful octagonal pavilion appeared in front of us. Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were sitting in it talking, while the concubines and palace maids and eunuchs stood aside. "Good luck to the old Buddha and good luck to the emperor."  "Concubine Yu stepped forward to salute Cixi and Guangxu. Lin Yizhe didn't have time to see clearly the faces of the people sitting or standing in front of him. When he heard her words, he had already knelt down straight on the cold water-polished floor. "Chen -  ¡ªLin Yizhe, a doctor in the processing department with the title of Fujian Naval Association and assistant committee member of Fujian Shipping Affairs, paid homage to the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor Wan Fu Jinan!  " Lin Yizhe could feel Cixi's sharp gaze sweeping over him without raising his head. But he did not dare to look up. Because this was not the first time he had met the Emperor, he had already learned the etiquette of the Manchu royal family.  Strict - these include countless rules, including which leg should be kneeled first when kneeling, where to place the front of the official robe after kneeling, the interval between kneeling or standing, the number and depth of kowtow  There are detailed regulations, and there is no room for mistakes. Now that he thought about his mistake in mistaking Yu Bing for Zhao Yuetong, he felt regretful. "Pingsheng¡ª¡ª" Emperor Guangxu's soft voice sounded.  " Lin Yizhe straightened up immediately and stood up. At this time, he still lowered his head and did not dare to go beyond the rules. "Why are you so late today, concubine Yu?  "The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Concubine Yu and asked. Although Cixi's voice was very gentle and there was no trace of blame. On the contrary, it was slightly loving, but Lin Yizhe's heart still shrank for no reason and he unconsciously used the corners of his eyes.  I glanced there secretly from the corner of my eye, "I just saw Master Lin coming in from a distance. He was really more handsome than Pan An and Song Yu."It represents the importance of talent.  A woman's chuckle came over, "I'm afraid Sister Yu was tempted and talked to him for a while, so she came late, right?"  "Although the voice of the woman who spoke was like the cry of a baby swallow or a nightingale singing late, it was indescribably sweet and sweet, but the content of this sentence was extremely vicious, making Lin Yizhe feel as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
