Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang were busy until the printing was completed in the middle of the night before returning to Taixiang Escort Bureau.
"Brother, why are the lights still on in the living room?"
Han Yongzhong asked the gatekeeper.
"Two gentlemen, that is our bureau chief.
He insists on waiting for you to come back," the gatekeeper replied.
Knowing that Wang Biao was in the living room, Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang turned to the living room.
At this time, Wang Biao was dozing off alone in the living room.
"Brother Wang Biao, why do you want to catch a cold while sleeping here?"
Han Yongzhong carefully pushed the sleepy Wang Biao up.
"Brother Han, are you back and have finished the newspaper business?"
Wang Biao asked with concern.
"It's done," Han Yongzhong smiled at each other and replied happily.
"As long as it goes well, I'm worried that you may encounter some trouble.
If you do encounter any trouble, you have to say something and keep it to yourself."
Wang Biao yawned several times and said seriously.
"Brother Wang Biao, I appreciate your love."
Han Yongzhong looked grateful.
"That's good.
It's still a while before dawn.
If everyone is sleepy, let's go to sleep."
Wang Biao yawned a few more times and asked Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang to rest.
"Brother Wang Biao, please go back and rest.
Brother Zhenbang and I will discuss something more."
After Han Yongzhong finished speaking, he watched Wang Biao leave.
Early the next morning, the Beijing News published the case of Zhang Ruli's public trial of a Japanese spy, which completely caused a sensation in the entire capital.
In the streets and alleys, from ordinary people to dignitaries, and even some envoys stationed in China, this matter has become a hot topic of discussion.
Even An Ying in the palace got the news almost at the same time.
He ordered someone to find the Beijing News published in the morning, read it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that Zhang Ruli has a group of capable people under his command.
The Queen Mother is worried about this matter.
Now it's finally time for her to relax."
Thinking that the Queen Mother's birthday will be held tomorrow, according to the plan of the Ministry of Rites, the Queen Mother will have a look around today.
An Ying immediately had an idea In the huge Yonghe Palace, the Empress Dowager has not slept well these days.
It's not because of the little Marquis promotion.
She felt like a mirror in her mind.
These officials in the Qing Dynasty were probably fighting each other over the matter of the Marquis' promotion, but they were still under her control.
But the thought of those hateful Japanese people is like a nightmare and makes people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, the Empress Dowager felt empty in her heart, just like the deserted Yonghe Palace.
"If I have a good birthday, these Japanese people will not be able to live in peace."
The Queen Mother slowly stood up and muttered angrily.
"The Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
the old palace maid who was serving beside asked, kneeling down in panic.
"Don't make a fuss.
I have nothing to do.
Let Xiao Anzi come over," the Empress Dowager continued to order.

"Cha" the old palace maid stood up in response.
After a while, An Xin hurried over to say hello.
"Good luck to the Queen Mother" "Where does the good fortune come from?"
the Empress Dowager asked with a displeased look on her face.
"Your birthday is tomorrow, Queen Mother.
According to the rules of previous years, you have to look around today.
Otherwise, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will not know whether all the arrangements are in line with your holy will.
If you don't like it, I will We changed at night," An Xing said calmly.
"What's there to see?
It's not the same every year," the Empress Dowager replied disapprovingly.
"Empress Dowager, maybe this year is different from previous years.
Early this morning, I saw magpies standing on the branches in the palace.
There must be something happy.
Please take a look around," An Ying pleaded.
"Well, since you said so, I'll take a look around.
Then we'll see if something happy has happened."
The Empress Dowager asked the maids to change clothes, and An Ying led them all the way to the Summer Palace.
The entire Summer Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was so exquisitely decorated.
All the palaces were newly painted, and groups of palace maids and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were busy.
Seeing the Queen Mother coming, she fell to her knees soon.
"Xiao Anzi, do you think that when this person is worried, does he go to popular places more often, so that his heart feels brighter?"
The Queen Mother asked An Xing beside her.
"Queen Mother, you have put this servant in doubt.
But this servant knows that your birthday is coming soon, both inside and outside the palace.
Everyone is blessed by you, and everyone is smiling.
You see the servants smile from ear to ear. , so there is less worry."
An Ying replied with a smile.
"What a mouth you have," the Queen Mother said, with a smile on her face.
"As long as the Queen Mother smiles, my heart will feel warmer," An Ying said with a smile.
"Let them all get busy.
You accompany me to the Stone Shipyard to rest for a while."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the maids and eunuchs who were busy preparing for the birthday, as well as some officials from the Ministry of Rites, resumed their previous busyness.
An Ying led the Queen Mother to sit down at Shichuanfang and started chatting.
"Xiao Anzi, I want you to tell me, please don't invite envoys from those countries to celebrate my birthday," the Queen Mother asked.
"Empress Dowager, I don't dare to discuss state affairs arbitrarily."
An Ying retreated in order to advance.
"This is not a court.
I forgive you for telling the truth," the Empress Dowager ordered.
"I think that envoys from all countries must be invited and they must come up with new tricks," An Ying reported cautiously.
"Tell me about your new tricks."
The Queen Mother suddenly became interested.
"In our Qing dynasty, women generally did not appear in public.
But in Western countries, the customs are very different from our dynasty.
In previous years, only some envoys would be invited to the Queen Mother's birthday.
So this year we might as well invite some envoys' wives, like this First, it can also enhance the relationship between China and our allies," An Ying said respectfully.

"In our Qing Dynasty, women are not allowed to appear in public," the Empress Dowager asked, showing displeasure.
"You damn slave, the Queen Mother is an immortal descending to earth."
An Ying immediately knelt down with a big head.
"Xiao Anzi, you are right.
Those are the rules of our ancestors.
A woman should look like a woman.
The new trick you just mentioned is really interesting.
How did you come up with this idea?"
The Queen Mother immediately said He asked with a relaxed face and a smile.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I thought, although those foreigners are ugly, they are still human beings.
The wives of the envoys will also give their husbands peace of mind.
If the wives of the envoys are happy, those envoys will naturally be with me.
We're close."
An Ying smiled and reported respectfully.
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and An Ying also giggled.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurried over Spring is coming:
