The queen's crazy look frightened Jianqiu, who was kneeling behind her, so much that she turned around trembling. She didn't know whether she should stand up and support the crumbling queen. She could only stand up with difficulty and go to the queen's side to protect her from falling.

"It doesn't matter. I still have a chance. As long as I deal with those women, I will still be the only queen mother and empress dowager. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

"Niang Niang"

"Jianqiu, I haven't lost yet. As long as I am here, since I can deal with that bitch, the others won't be a problem."

The Queen's words shocked Jianqiu so much that her pupils shrank slightly, but she quickly calmed down. She made a secret decision in her heart, took a step forward, held the Queen's hand, and spoke into the Queen's eyes, which was rare.

"My Lady, no matter what decision you make, I will always be your sharpest knife."

Not far from the corner behind them, a second-class maid from Jingren Palace quietly left the place. After making sure that no one noticed her entering the palace, she picked up the scissors beside the flower bed and began to trim the branches.

As the little palace maid left, the conversation between the queen and her servant was heard by Yin Qi, who heard it clearly. This made her curious about the queen.

That is whether the queen loves Yongzheng or not.

At least in Yinqi's opinion, the Queen did not love the Emperor. What the Queen gave to the Emperor was more of a warmth that she received for the first time, but that warmth was snatched away by someone else before she could warm herself up.

So she was extremely unwilling in her heart, and that unwillingness had long surpassed her previous feelings for the emperor.

Otherwise, Yinqi really couldn't understand why the queen had already thought about what would happen after Yongzheng's death when the emperor was less than fifty years old this year and had only been on the throne for six years.

Of course, since he couldn't figure it out, Yin Qi just let it go and stopped thinking about it. After all, as a normal person, he couldn't understand the thoughts of a mentally abnormal person of the opposite sex.

Whether in terms of thinking or gender, Yinqi and the Queen are not on the same channel, so there is no need to make things difficult for themselves.

The Emperor's marriages for his three-year-old princes have made the capital city extremely lively recently. Every day, there is an endless stream of carriages coming from all over the place, bringing gifts from their masters, to the capital city to congratulate the Emperor's three princes who are about to get married.

In June, Henan suffered a serious flood. Gao Bin, a Suzhou engineer who had just returned from the morning court to report on his work, asked Emperor Yongzheng for permission to be transferred to Henan to help the emperor relieve his worries.

The only thing he couldn't let go of was his frail eldest daughter, so on the same day he asked the emperor for permission, hoping that the emperor could find a good husband for his daughter.

Yongzheng was pleased but also a little distressed about Gao Bin's request, because he really didn't know how to arrange for Gao Bin's daughter.

Such a capable and sensible minister could only be brought into the palace or given to his sons, unless his daughter was given to his thirteenth brother, the prince he trusted the most, so that he could feel at ease.

But the Thirteenth Brother's wife and concubine are still alive, and there is a big age gap between his daughter and Gao Bin's. The harem is not very safe now. If something happens to Gao Bin's daughter after entering the palace, he really has no way to explain to Gao Bin.

Among his sons, the Third Prince is stupid, the Fifth Prince is naughty, and only the Fourth Prince is a good match.

But the Fourth Prince had just been engaged and was about to get married, so if he gave him another concubine at this time, it was inevitable that Fu Cha would have overthinking.

After thinking about it, Yongzheng could only give Gao Bin a guarantee.

"Then I will first give your daughter to the Fourth Prince as a princess. When you make merit and get promoted, I will immediately promote her to a concubine."

Gao Bin was overjoyed to get this guarantee from the emperor. After all, among the adult princes now, only the Fourth Prince was relatively outstanding and had a bright future. So Gao Bin immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude and promised that he would solve the flood problem in Henan as soon as possible.

Because Henan was in urgent need of people, Yongzheng did not delay. A week later, on June 28, under the emperor's special instructions, Gao Bin's eldest daughter Gao Xiyue was carried in a sedan chair with her dowry and her maid Xing Xuan to enter the second of the five western halls, Leshan Hall.

On the same day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent ten first-class maids with the character "心" in their names to celebrate the Fourth Prince's wedding to serve the Fourth Prince's family members in his residence. (The original drama had eight maids, please don't criticize me, I wrote that on purpose)

Hongli did not keep the girls after getting them, but directly ordered Wang Qing to give one of them, Ning Xin, to his only concubine, Fucha.

That night, he brought one of the palace maids named Mo Xin to Gao Xiyue's room.

Hongli couldn't say whether he liked or hated Gao Xiyue who was suddenly thrust upon him. After all, his father Gao Binde was capable, and she was just a weak girl, so he just needed to take good care of her. It was not like he couldn't afford to support her.

Because he has been in correspondence with Qingying recently, Hongli is now focused on Qingying, and he has met Gao Bin, so he is not optimistic about Gao Xiyue's appearance.

After all, Hongli is a beauty lover, so he has no expectations for Gao Xiyue.

But he was soon slapped in the face. The moment he lifted the veil, even though Gao Xiyue was wearing a rose-pink wedding dress, it could not hide her face, which was as calm and soft as the moonlight.

Hongli's heart was instantly captured by Gao Xiyue's beauty. He no longer remembered Qingying at all and immediately became affectionate with Gao Xiyue.

Left alone in Ulanala's mansion, Qingying lay on the bed, crying silently for her brother Hongli's wedding today.

————————————————————

Time: September of the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign.

Location: Tianjin Port.

Event: Welcoming the cargo ship heading out to sea for trade.

Characters: The clan members headed by Prince Lian, dozens of ministers, and hundreds of guards and servants.

Two years ago, the two princes of Zhili set out from Tianjin to Southeast Asia, and after passing through nine countries including Dongying, Southeast Asia, and North America, they finally received news last month that they had brought back eight ships full of gold, silver, gems, clocks, steam engines and other advanced items that China did not have at the time.

It can be said that there were many dangers along the way. Not to mention the storms and pirates at sea, every time their ships left the local area, there would inevitably be people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob them.

Yin Qi and his companions dealt with more than a dozen waves in private. Of course, they did not solve all of them, otherwise there would have been no danger for two years. Perhaps Prince Zhili would make them more nervous than the several waves of enemies.

Of course, being picked on is not without benefits, such as obtaining the opponent's ships, guns and cannons. It can be said that they can get as many as they want. It has to be said that free things are better.

Since others had already taken action first, Yinqi and Jinzhong hypnotized them and found out who sent them. After a while, the two of them would go back and rob the mastermind directly.

So for these greedy people, they can capture as many people as they want. If they didn't bring enough people this time, they could have sailed forty or fifty ships back to Beijing when they go home.

However, since the other party had declared war first, Yinqi certainly had to retaliate against them, so Yinqi left a lot of backup plans in the places where they had attacked.

Especially in Dongying, although we don’t know whether such a tragedy will happen again in Longguo in this life or the future, we must always take precautions.
