Regardless of what the concubines in the palace were planning, when the day came, Yongzheng finally left the palace with the group of people he had selected earlier and headed towards the Old Summer Palace in a grand procession.

Because the Empress Dowager claimed that she was ill and did not want to go with her, Yongzheng did not force her, but let her stay in the Forbidden City. Apart from that, Concubine Duan, who had been bedridden for many years, also stayed in her own palace. The rest were Concubine Li, Noblewoman Borjigit, and some insignificant minor concubines.

Originally, Concubine Qi was forced to come here by the Empress. After the incident with Noblewoman Borjigit, Yongzheng originally wanted to hold Concubine Qi accountable and let her stay in the palace as well.

But the Queen finally came out to persuade him, and with his son, the Third Prince, standing by, Yongzheng finally softened his heart and agreed to let the other party go along.

Having said that, because Concubine Qi had been reprimanded by the Queen before, she behaved well-behaved during the entire trip and did not act up again.

After arriving at the Old Summer Palace, the emperor arranged his many concubines in different residences.

For example, Zhen Huan went to Bitong Academy, and Shen Meiyu went to Xianyue Pavilion. The two were very close to each other, and An Lingrong's palace was between the two, so it was very convenient to go anywhere.

The remaining two concubines, Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua, although they disliked each other, were arranged by the emperor to the southeast corner of the Old Summer Palace.

Given the empress's status, it was natural that she lived opposite the main hall and very close to Yongzheng.

As everyone moved into their own residences, the queen also sat in the palace and listened to Jianqiu talk about the developments in various places.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is very well behaved now!"

Jianqiu instructed everyone to put all of the Queen's belongings in place. When only she and her servant were left, she told the Queen about what was happening with Concubine Qi.

In accordance with the Queen's previous request, Jianqiu kept a close eye on Concubine Qi.

The reason is very simple. The reason why Concubine Qi was able to come along was entirely because she gave birth to the Third Prince, and also because the Queen was trying hard to persuade her.

This person was actually brought here by herself, so no matter what happened, the Queen must be involved.

Because of this, the Queen asked Jianqiu to keep a close eye on Concubine Qi for her, so that if she were to relapse into her old ways, she could go over and stop her in time to avoid any further disaster.

"That's good."

After listening to the report, the Queen nodded, but she still reminded Jianqiu: "Keep keeping a close eye on her!"

She undoubtedly knew exactly what kind of person Concubine Qi was.

Therefore, even though there is no problem now, we cannot let our guard down at all. Concubine Qi tends to get carried away when she is a little proud.

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention."

Jianqiu nodded, and then continued: "Speaking of which, the emperor arranged for Concubine Hua to live very close to Concubine Qi, what if..."

If anything goes wrong, they won’t be able to stop it in time!

"Since this is the emperor's intention, I will pretend that I don't know."

The Queen looked at the fresh fruits that were placed on the table by the servants, and she reached out to pick up a freshly peeled grape. Then she smiled and said, "If Concubine Hua can't help but cause trouble, the Emperor will take care of it!"

All she needs to ensure is that Concubine Qi will not take the initiative to "stick out" and cause trouble. As for whether the other party will be bullied?

Sorry, that is not something the Queen needs to consider.

Moreover, although Concubine Qi is sometimes stupid, she is the queen after all. She has been in the palace for many years. It is not the first time she has met Concubine Hua. Don’t she have any ability?

"By the way, remember to tell Imperial Doctor Wu that there must be no negligence with Noble Lady Fucha."

Although the Queen has arrived at the Old Summer Palace, it does not mean that she has lost control of the affairs in the palace.

Even though the power to manage the six palaces is not in her hands, she still has plenty of ways to do it if she wants to.

It’s just that the methods used by the queen cannot be used openly.

"Don't worry, Madam. I know this naturally."

Jianqiu knew very well what her master was talking about, so she nodded to the queen, indicating that everything was under control.

Having said that, Jianqiu did not forget that the Queen Mother was still in the palace, so she tactfully expressed her concerns.

"Queen Mother?" After eating a few grapes, the Queen smiled and said, "If it is something else, it does need to be avoided."

But when it came to the matter of Noble Lady Fucha, her "good aunt" was completely on her side.

Therefore, the Queen was not worried at all that the Queen Mother would notice that she was secretly doing something.

And even if the Queen Mother finds out, she will definitely help out given her character...

Because Noble Lady Fucha has no children now, even if she keeps the child, she may not be able to get pregnant again. Compared with her, Noble Lady Borjigit is undoubtedly more important.

In addition, the stability of her position as queen is also something that the empress dowager is extremely concerned about!

Originally, the Queen took a wait-and-see attitude towards Noble Lady Fucha.

After all, Noble Lady Fucha is still young, and her appearance and role are much better than those of some elderly people.

Unfortunately, Noble Lady Fucha is good in everything except brains, which makes her even worse than Concubine Qi.

It was a good hand of cards, but I ruined it badly.

After something like this happened, she definitely couldn't continue to protect the other person.

Moreover, Noble Lady Fucha is not the only "card" she can play.

The queen has always been very self-aware, so when she needs to be tolerant, she will endure it silently.

At the moment, Concubine Hua seems to be dying, but the Queen knows that as long as the Nian family survives, Concubine Hua will still be able to make a comeback.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry at all.

In contrast, there are naturally people who are anxious!

……

"Lingrong! Have you packed up here?"

An Lingrong had just asked Fang Ruo to prepare everything in her Fanyin Pavilion, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

As soon as she heard Zhen Huan's voice, An Lingrong smiled.

"My lady, I will go and invite Lady Wan in right now!"

Since coming to the Old Summer Palace, Fang Ruo has not been able to rest for a moment.

Seeing that Zhen Huan came to her house on her own initiative, Fang Ruo certainly did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly went outside to invite her.

After Zhen Huan followed in, she saw An Lingrong and her eyes immediately lit up. Then she started to complain, "You said you would come to me as soon as possible. I've been waiting for you for a while, but you still haven't come. It seems that I have to come in person to see our noble lady An!"

"What did you say, sister?"

An Lingrong smiled and shook her head, then continued, "I heard from Eunuch Su before that because the emperor had not decided on a place for me to live before, this palace was cleaned up last. Because of this, there are more places that need to be cleaned, which is why you have been waiting for so long!"

"Well, I just said it casually. Don't I know you?"

Zhen Huan was just joking, but when she saw An Lingrong explaining to her seriously, she quickly laughed it off.

Zhen Huan then turned her attention to the palace and said, "Fanyin Pavilion... this name sounds like a place for spiritual practice!"
