Qianlong planned to take advantage of today's luncheon to let Little Swallow formally meet the Queen Mother.It's a pity that as soon as it was brought up, the queen mother said that she was not energetic.As soon as the luncheon was over, the Queen Mother said that she was going to take a lunch break, Qing'er hurriedly accompanied the Queen Mother and left.

Qianlong went to the Palace of Compassion in the morning and said that he wanted to marry the fifth elder brother as soon as possible.Qianlong had no choice but to set Qing Gege's wedding date on the 25th of next month.Now the Empress Dowager dismissed the matter of Little Swallow again, so Qianlong felt embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, got up and left.

Everyone in the room stood up and sent the two of them away.Afterwards, the Queen and Fifth Prince also went.

Seeing that she and Erkang were the only ones left at the table, Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Let's leave too. After all the people at this table have cleared up, the rest of the room can leave."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Ling asked Erkang to accompany her for a walk, just in time to tell Erkang that his and Qing Gege's wedding date has been set.On the fifth day of next month, there will be wine at the Princess Mansion. 25 is a good day for him and Qing Gege.

Seeing that Erkang was silent, the concubine smiled and said, "You're a boy, are you ashamed?" Then she said: "It's been three years since the decision, and your house and the queen mother have already prepared the wedding things." .Although the days are less than one month away, we can still do a good job.”

Seeing that Erkang was still silent, Lingfei didn't know why, and didn't bother to ask any more questions, so she just told him to go back to the mansion and tell Fu Lun and Fujin about the wedding date.

After Concubine Ling got pregnant this time, she has exercised a lot of restraint in all aspects. She doesn't worry about it on weekdays, and only looks at beautiful and comfortable things when she wants to see them.Worrying and worrying things will be dealt with after production.

The queen is the person in charge of the harem, and the queen mother has no reason to interfere with the affairs of the six palaces.Only in the matter of the marriage of the children of the clan, the queen mother has the power to play a decisive role and be justified.The empress dowager urged Erkang and Qing Gege to get married so urgently, it was also for the child in the womb of the concubine Ling, how could the concubine Ling not know.Without the prince, no matter how favored the concubine was, she would not have a firm position.Now that the imperial concubine is more powerful, the empress is still the most important in the harem.

When Qianlong returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he received a report that Ali and Zhuo from Xinjiang had already entered Beijing with their family members and clansmen who had come to defect to the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong then ordered the officials who had been arranged long ago to go to condolences with the items rewarded by the court.

This is something that has been discussed earlier, so there is no need to worry about it.

Erkang returned to the scholar's mansion and saw Fu Lun and Fujin talking about the Queen Mother and Qing Gege.He then said that Qing Gege's engagement with him had already been set on the 25th of next month.

His parents are very happy.

But he thought about Ziwei in his heart, he couldn't let go no matter what, secretly hated himself and Ziwei for meeting too late.Thinking of not being able to be with Ziwei in the future, my heart hurts a little.

He didn't dare to speak directly about Ziwei, and he didn't have the slightest expectation to explain to his parents and change the status quo.He understands that his current situation cannot be controlled by his parents.Resisting marriage is resisting decree.

He just walked around and said to his mother: "You are so happy to marry Qing Gege as your daughter-in-law, so Fu Heng's wife married Princess Heshuo, how happy you are."

Fujin didn't know what he was up to, so he just took it as a joke, and said: "If a princess marries our family, it will be more honorable."

Erkang then asked: "Then, if there is one now, do you want it?"

Hearing what he said, Fu Lun stopped smiling and pointed at him with his index finger: "Even if there is a Princess Gu Lun who wants to marry you now, she can't do it. From now on, it's not allowed to say such things as a joke."

Fujin asked her husband why.

Fulun said: "Our family's decency is small, but the feeling of betraying the old lady is great. The queen mother gave our family the person she nursed, and we dare not resign. Let alone we have no capital to resign right now. "

Hearing what Fu Lun said, Fujin sighed and said, "How long do we have to endure before we can grow up?"

Fu Lun said: "The queen mother returned to the capital, and Qing Gege married into our family again. If the imperial concubine can give birth to a prince this time, with the age and personality of the Long Live Lord, the future of the prince is immeasurable."

He smiled again and said to Fujin: "But I'm afraid you and I won't be able to catch up with that good time. Our family works hard, and those good days we worked hard for are all your son and grandson's."

Erkang's blood surged when he heard the prospect in his father's mouth.He also remembered that Concubine Ling once said that he is a person with great promise and great achievements.

Erkang is just a bodyguard now, and his father's status is nothing in Jingshen, a place where rich families gather.Erkang felt that his abilities were not valued enough, that he could not display his full ambitions, and that he had practiced civil and military skills, but there was no room for them to be used.

He then thought that if he betrayed his family and disobeyed the imperial decree for Ziwei, even if he could stay with Ziwei forever, he would be mediocre and depressed for the rest of his life, meaningless from life to death; Given the opportunity to show his talents, he must serve the country and the people, serve the country, and honor his ancestors. This is a good man, and he has lived up to Ziwei's original intention of knowing heroes.

He thought about it for a while, and slowly, Ziwei's face was indifferent and even disappeared in the voices of his father and Lingfei.

He finally thought it all over, made up his mind, and immediately admired himself.Sacrificing little love for big love, sacrificing love enjoyment for family and country.

Later, he began to feel that if he only talked about love lingeringly, Ziwei would not love him like that.A man should have the courage to let go, and that's what women love.

The officials sent by Qianlong to the post office came back and reported that Ali and Zhuo wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible to thank the Holy One.

Qianlong thought, for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace recently, the palace is decorated with dazzling splendor, if Ali and Zhuo enter the palace now, it will save him a lot of trouble.

He said: "Since he wants to thank you wholeheartedly, how can I have the heart to hinder such sincerity? Go spread the word that tonight I will entertain Ali and Zhuo and their relatives in the palace."

The officials took orders.

Qianlong asked the little eunuchs at the gate to deliver an order to the prince's house, asking them to come to the banquet together tonight.

Fulun Mansion also received the notice.

Erkang decided that hitting the sun is worse than picking the sun, and short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, so he took advantage of this night to make it clear to Ziwei.
