Chapter 055

Just when Minning thought that this matter could be covered up well, he didn't know who revealed it to the Queen.At that time, Min Ning was greeting the queen with a group of concubines, and suddenly saw a court lady next to the queen rushing to report the letter, Min Ning frowned and was about to say "no", when the queen slapped the table hard case, got up and walked out angrily.The people didn't understand, so they kept following. Minning turned back to look at the maid, saw her lowered her head and seemed to be smiling sinisterly, her heart froze. Followed by footsteps.

The queen was angry, angry and impatient, she couldn't step on her feet firmly, and her three-inch-high flowerpot shoes tilted on the gravel road, and she fell to one side.Fortunately, the maids helped the queen quickly so that the queen did not fall, but her ankle was sprained.Although the queen still wanted to go to Qianlong's other courtyard, she couldn't stand the begging of Concubine Yu and others, so she could only sit in a soft sedan chair and go back to her courtyard.

"What did you tell Nanny Li just now?" Imperial Concubine Yu took Minning aside and asked in a low voice while the imperial physician was checking the queen's injury.

Min Ning felt that although this matter would not be concealed for too long, it was still the best thing to be careful, so he said: "The daughter-in-law just thinks that the maid is a bit suspicious, so I just asked Madam Li to pay attention." Seeing that Concubine Yu was still a little suspicious, She continued, "It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that this matter is related to Huang Ama, and the master also said that Huang Ama ordered her to silence her, so please bear with me."

Concubine Yu could only let go of the doubts in her heart after hearing this, and make plans after seeing the queen's injuries.

The queen's sprain was not serious, but the tendon was hurt.In order to avoid leaving old troubles, the imperial doctor ordered that it is better not to get out of bed for half a month, so he left a pile of wound medicine for external application, and then went to prescribe internal medicine.Seeing the commotion here, the concubines retreated first. Minning thought about it and decided to stay.Sooner or later, Nanny Li will tell the Queen about the fact that she drew attention to that maid, so it is better for her to be honest first, and maybe she can reverse the fate of the Queen being deposed.

"Old Wu, do you know something?" The queen asked coldly after taking the medicine, took the veil and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"If what the Queen Mother said was about the singer, the daughter-in-law would have known about it." Minning didn't intend to hide it. He mentioned it to me a little bit."

"Since I know why I didn't report it earlier, is it possible that I have to wait until everyone in the world sees the emperor's joke before trying to solve it?" The queen is upright, but she really loves Qianlong. Feelings never change.She was afraid that her husband would be ridiculed by the world, and that after a hundred years he would only be known as a fool in the history books, so she was even more rude to Minning, "The emperor is you and the fifth brother, Ama, and the emperor. You are hiding it so deliberately, is it true?" It’s not a small thing to make everyone in the world laugh at the emperor for accepting a singer!”

"Even if the daughter-in-law and the fifth master come back early in the morning, does the queen think that Huang Ama will give up the idea of ​​canonizing the singer because of our persuasion?" Minning replied calmly, "It's not that the queen doesn't know Huang Ama Fifth Master has no choice but to hide his temperament according to Huang Ama's order, not deliberately trying to embarrass Huang Ama."

The queen was suffocated.That's right, doesn't she understand the emperor's temperament?In the past, he insisted on ennobling Gao as a side Fujin, but after he ascended the throne, he disregarded the will of the previous emperor and conferred Gao as imperial concubine; after Gao's death, he disregarded the empress dowager's displeasure and canonized Wei as nobleman, concubine and even concubine. ? "But even so, I can't just sit idly by. Even if I fight for this post, I still want to prevent the emperor from accepting a singer into the palace!"

Looking at his face, Minning knew what the queen was thinking, and said: "The empress is thinking of Huang Ama, and if she wants to persuade him not to bring that singer into the palace, I'm afraid she also has the idea of ​​'destroying everything' Right. But has Queen Mother ever thought about it, once you disobey Huang Ama's will, what will happen to the twelfth brother? If you are really deposed, the twelfth brother will be an elder brother who is not a concubine. Aren't you worried that some will take the opportunity to hurt the twelfth brother?"

Children are a woman's biggest weakness, Minning's words hit the nail on the head of the queen, the queen's face froze, and Minning took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Besides, the master told his wife, this matter is kept silent. Knowing where the court lady got the news, she actually revealed it to the Empress. I'm afraid that someone deliberately wanted the Empress to be the head of the rafters, so that she could reap the benefits of the fisherman. The daughter-in-law knew that what she said today was a bit out of bounds, But I also hope that Queen Mother can seriously think about it, whether it is for her own sake or for the sake of her twelfth younger brother, think twice before acting, and don't follow other people's ways." After finishing speaking, Minning saluted respectfully, He pursed his lips and walked out.

When Qianlong learned that the queen had sprained her ankle, he also sent Wu Shulai to greet her. Seeing that she really couldn't even get out of bed, knowing that she was not pretending to be sick, he gave a lot of plasters, turned around and hugged his new favorite, Qingqingwowo.Now Chen Yingying is no longer the singer of a certain church in Dezhou, but the emperor's favorite, but she still doesn't understand why the emperor has not favored her even though he rewarded her with so many jewels.But because the emperor wants to take her into the palace, she can still bear it. The most important thing is that she still has an important task to complete.

"I'm afraid this matter won't be kept secret for long, but I just don't understand how anyone would know about it." Minning will tell Yong Qi when it happened at the Queen's place, and he will take a sip of tea, "Aren't you Did you say that Huang Ama gave an order to keep silent?"

"There are always some people who want to inquire about Huang Ama's news, probably because they have bribed the people around Huang Ama." Yong Qi rubbed the white jade finger on her thumb, "Since we can't hide it, how about you, Er Niang? Find an opportunity to explain to her, don't call her out."

"I know." The so-called shooting the first bird, even if Concubine Yu is angry, she will not really be used as a weapon. As for the queen, Minning has told her so much, it depends on whether she will be flexible .

Sure enough, on the third day after the queen sprained her foot, the queen mother summoned everyone, including the queen who was still recovering from the injury.As soon as Minning stepped into the room, she saw a woman in a pink dress kneeling on the ground sobbing. Qianlong sat on it and rubbed her hands, trying to persuade but dared not.

That woman is probably the legendary Yingying.Minning glanced quietly, and saw that the woman was slender and delicate, with big wet eyes on her melon-shaped face, and pink lips under her small and tall nose, her soft and charming appearance could really make many men fall in love.It's a pity that most of the women present couldn't understand such a low-born woman, so many concubines just snorted, greeted the Queen Mother and others, and sat down to watch the show.

"This is the newcomer the emperor wants to accept?" The queen mother gave Chen Yingying a disgusted look.If he really looks like Hui Xian, that foxy son, no wonder he can win the heart of his son, and even wants to become a member of the harem, it's just a dream! "I heard that she is from the humble family background of a diva, are you sure the emperor wants to bring her into the palace?"

Wu Changzai snorted disdainfully, and then lowered his head aggrievedly under Qianlong's glaring gaze, biting his lip, but hated Chen Yingying even more in his heart.

"Queen, what do you think?" The queen mother probably knew why the queen was injured, "Do you agree with the emperor?"

"Of course my daughter-in-law disagrees. Once it spreads, I'm afraid people all over the world will criticize it." The queen was calm, not as angry as that day. It can be seen that she had thought a lot in secret these two days, and her wording was also the same. She was much gentler, and said, "There has never been such an example in our palace. My daughter-in-law thinks that it is most appropriate to keep Mrs. Chen in the palace." As for whether the emperor will remember you next time on his southern tour, it is your own fate. up.

Chen Yingying looked at Qianlong with tears in her beautiful eyes, her pitiful look made everyone present tremble.This is exactly what the concubine Ling looks like, who is 20 years younger!Back then, the concubine was favored because of the delicate and docile fur she learned from the imperial concubine Huixian. Now that a woman who looks more like the concubine Huixian has come, the concubine is also annoyed for a while.

"But speaking of it, the daughter-in-law still has something to report." The queen gave Nanny Li a wink, and Nanny Li nodded slightly, and turned back the maid who came to deliver a letter to the queen last time.The queen said, "On the day my daughter-in-law was injured, it was this court lady who came to report to her, saying that the emperor wanted to confer a songstress as imperial concubine. My daughter-in-law didn't know where this slave got the news, and why did she exaggerate to fool her? Then I asked a few words, only to find out that the news came from Xiao Linzi who is beside the emperor."

What was supposed to be a good "criticism meeting" suddenly turned into a scene of counting the slaves who betrayed the master around the emperor.The queen avoided talking about Chen Yingying's entry into the palace, but said: "Later, my daughter-in-law heard that the emperor issued an order to silence her, but she didn't know that Xiao Linzi didn't know the emperor's order, or leaked the news on purpose. , Let the daughter-in-law know. Because the matter is serious, I dare not make mistakes, so I interrogated him overnight, and found out that Xiao Linzi was bought by a concubine in the harem, so the news spread."

As for why it reached the Queen's ears and not other people, everyone knows it well.Qianlong also straightened his face, there was something betraying the Lord around her, and he regarded his will as false information, and gave and received it privately with the concubines, it is simply unforgivable!Immediately ordered Wu Shulai to capture Xiao Linzi, and asked him to confess who was so bold.

After this incident happened, the queen mother was not in the mood to pay attention to Chen Yingying anymore, she just asked Nanny Gui to detain her in the apse of her yard and wait for her to be dealt with.A betrayer appeared next to her son. This time, he was just passing on news. If he was bribed to poison the emperor next time, then she really wouldn't even have the place to cry.So he ordered Wu Shulai to review it carefully, and use the methods of the Punishment Department if necessary.All the concubines froze, worried that Xiao Linzi would randomly bite out a person just to survive.

Minning noticed that both Lingbi and Wu Changzai shivered slightly, and their faces turned even paler.
