Returning Pearls to Yongping and Qianlong

In the morning, the matter of the empress's death of the palace maid has already been spread in the harem, but the emperor can know what the emperor wants to know about the affairs in the palace, but if he doesn't ask, no one will gossip to him, right?So at night, Qianlong didn't know about it when he stayed overnight in Yanxi Palace.Originally, there was no need to tell Qianlong about such a small matter, but the bad thing is that the concubine Ling is in charge of the harem now!

"Your majesty, do you think it's okay for the empress to choose another maid for her? Although the concubines are in charge of the harem for the time being, the empress and concubines must not arrange things casually." The concubine Ling leaned in Qianlong's arms, looking Speaking with Qianlong's face.What he said was also extraordinarily respectful, which made people feel that he kept his duty.

When Qianlong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, why did he talk about the empress again?Although Qianlong never cared about the affairs of the harem, he still knew the limit on the number of palace maids. For example, there were restrictions on how many people around the empress dowager and how many people around the empress.

"What happened to the queen's maid?" Qianlong wondered if the queen had messed with the maid again. This happened before.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's the concubine, right? The concubine thought you knew about it. The empress's side, Yun Xiang, made a mistake and was killed. The maids around the empress are not enough, and the concubine herself doesn't know." Dare to take this idea, thinking whether to let the empress choose someone by herself. After all, Yunxiang is the great court lady beside the empress..." Lingfei looked at Qianlong's face while talking, and after seeing his face successfully darken, she went Shut up.

"Does the Department of Punishment work for nothing?! How could he be beaten to death like this?!" Qianlong put the teacup on the table heavily.

Concubine Ling felt refreshed, and with an expression of understanding on her face, she persuaded: "The emperor calms down, this is why the empress is in a hurry, isn't it, the empress's empress loves the twelve princes? It’s understandable to say the least.”

In the past, Qianlong had already lost his temper and scolded the queen in front of the concubine Ling, and never thought about whether it was suitable or not.Originally, everything was going in the direction that Lingfei expected, but Qianlong didn't rush to get angry when he heard this today, instead he asked one more question: "What does it have to do with Yongzheng?"

Concubine Ling suppressed some doubts in her heart, picked up what she could say, and said: "This concubine is not very clear, but there are rumors in the palace that it was this Rue Xiang who poisoned Elder Brother Twelve, but isn't this Rue Xiang the capable maidservant next to the Queen?" ?”

Qianlong heard that someone had poisoned Yongzheng, so he wanted to find out in his heart, and he didn't know if Yongzheng had something to do. He just wanted to ask Lingfei, but he couldn't sit still: "Since you don't know, then Forget it. Putting up the Kunning Palace, I will ask in person! What the empress did is really substandard!"

When Concubine Ling heard this, she secretly scolded herself for being troublesome, but then she thought again, anyway, the emperor's heart is with her, and this night is not bad.But watching the queen's good show is not always possible.Moreover, listening to the tone of the emperor's last sentence, he is also very dissatisfied with the queen's matter today, and privately used the punishment, and it was the death penalty, enough for the queen to drink a pot!

Concubine Ling was happy, but unfortunately, she didn't guess what the emperor was thinking this time.At this moment, Qianlong felt that the queen was too impulsive to do the truth, and poisoned the prince. What reason does a palace lady have to do this? How can she find evidence if she is killed? !This time I have bought people to the Queen's side, so next time I will directly buy the people around Elder Brother Twelve? !

At this time in the Kunning Palace, Yong Xing was eating with a smile on his face while talking to the Empress about his study in the study today. The Empress listened with a softened expression, admonishing Yong Xing from time to time.Ever since Yongzheng had a sincere talk with the queen that night, the queen also knew that Yongzheng had grown up and became sensible, so she didn't put on the serious and rigid face in front of Yongzheng again. The atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.Sister Rong was also waiting on the side, the wrinkles on her face were stretched out because of the smile, and the villain's appearance was no longer seen.

Although the empress used to love Elder Brother Twelve deeply, she couldn't hold back her expectations, so she could only encourage Elder Twelve even more. The direct atmosphere between mother and son has never been so good!

When Qianlong came, he didn't let the palace people inform him, so he went in directly.When they got to the door, the eunuch announced: "The emperor is here! The imperial concubine is here!" The queen and Yongzheng got up intuitively and looked at the door!

The gentleness on the faces of the two quickly receded after seeing that Qianlong had entered, the empress put on a dignified face again, and Yongzheng also began to look expressionless and serious.

"Greetings to the emperor (Huang Ama), the emperor (Huang Ama) is auspicious!"

After Qianlong called out, Yongzheng saw Lingfei standing indifferently behind the emperor, not intending to salute, he was really annoyed, and then leaned down again and said: "Greetings to Lingfei empress!" Yongzheng secretly cursed, I let you ignore me, accept my gift, and I ask you to return it to me in the future!

Concubine Ling screamed in her heart that it was not good, the twelve princes had already saluted her, if she shouted, it would be impossible not to salute the queen!Gritting his teeth, he said, "Twelve princes are so polite, they really killed slaves!" Then he took two steps forward to greet the queen and said, "My concubine greets the empress, the empress is auspicious!"

Originally, after Yongzheng saluted, there was no reason why she couldn't get up after listening to Lingfei's words like that, but Yongzheng got into a fight with her today, if you don't call me, I won't get up! !Seeing that her son hadn't saluted yet, the queen snorted and ignored him!

Concubine Ling was embarrassed, only to realize that the twelfth elder brother, who was ignorant of current affairs, hadn't gotten into his trap this time, which made her grit her teeth.If the twelfth elder brother gets up and the queen embarrasses her, then it is the queen's fault, and the twelfth elder brother is also unruly.But now this situation is her own humiliation!

Qianlong had always felt different about the change of face of the empress and Yongzheng!But he couldn't bear to see Yongzheng kneeling on the ground like this, so he coughed and said, "Okay, everyone, get up! What does it look like to stay like this?!" At this time, he couldn't say anything about the queen. , I also feel in my heart that Lingfei can't speak clearly, so she just screamed, what can't be said? !But thinking about it this way, I feel that Concubine Ling's former status is really not worthy of her, and she even called herself a slave just now, which makes her feel a little petty!

If Concubine Ling knew that in order to make the emperor feel dissatisfied with the empress and the twelfth elder brother, she claimed to feel pity for her, and the emperor would feel petty. I don't know what kind of expression it is?

But the empress is upright, and she doesn't know what the emperor means, she just thinks it's for the concubine's rescue, although she didn't say anything, but her face is even colder!No matter how much Yongzheng felt in his heart, he couldn't forgive Lingfei for cutting him into pieces. After thanking her kindly and respectfully, he stood aside and didn't speak!

"Queen, I came here today to hear that someone is going to kill Yongzheng. What's going on?" Qianlong asked after sitting down, looking at the queen who was sitting at the bottom.But Concubine Ling was stunned, didn't the emperor come to trouble the queen?I was puzzled, but didn't dare to intervene.

As soon as this was mentioned, the queen couldn't hide the anger on her face, or she didn't need to hide it at all: "If you go back to the emperor, after Yongzhen came back yesterday, she went to sleep without eating anything. The concubine was afraid this morning. Yongzhen woke up hungry, so she asked Yunxiang to prepare some bird's nests in the imperial dining room, thinking of supplementing Yongzhen. Who knew that lowly servant girl dared to poison Yongzhen's food, so the concubine ordered her to be dragged out and killed with a stick Already!"

"What nonsense!!" Qianlong lost his temper when he heard this.Concubine Ling laughed secretly in her heart, the queen's speech was still the same, she never concealed it, and went straight to the point.

"What nonsense! Does the emperor think that murdering the prince is not a crime of death?!" The queen exploded immediately when she heard Qianlong's words!What kind of forbearance, what kind of tact, go to hell!

It's rare that Qianlong didn't mean to offend the queen in his heart, he just said: "I didn't mean that she didn't deserve to die, but why did she, a little maid, murder the prince and kill her, what clues can she find out?! Why are you so depressed? Don't hold your breath!"

Listening to the previous words, Concubine Ling was still complacent, and she also felt that the emperor would not believe that the court lady murdered the prince.Although Rue Xiang was hers, she didn't think about what to do to Elder Brother Twelve.What's more, now that Rue Xiang is dead, even if the queen says she belongs to her, there is no proof of her death, so she dared to persuade the emperor to take care of this matter.But when he heard the last two sentences, he couldn't calm down anymore, his face changed for a while, and then recovered, no one noticed except Yong Xing.

When the queen heard this, she felt embarrassed, her stern face froze, then she blushed, and her voice dropped a few notches, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine didn't order the staff to be killed at that time, but just said to beat her until she spoke, where is it?" Thinking, that lowly maid's mouth is so tight!" Yongzheng looked at her embarrassment that was rarely seen in the empress's mother, her serious look immediately collapsed, and there was a soft and teasing smile in her eyes, but she could see it from the corner of her eye. Qianlong was looking at him, and then became serious again in a flash.

Qianlong was also very interested in the reason for Yongzheng's face change. Following his gaze, he saw the empress looking at him in embarrassment. After turning his mind, he realized that it was the empress who misunderstood him. up? !Looking at the empress's awkward face even though she was embarrassed, Qianlong felt that Yongzheng really looked a bit like an empress, and she had an awkward personality.This person is still a bit brooding about the mother and son who saw the face change at the gate of Kunning Palace!

At the moment, I felt that I should communicate with the two of them, so I asked Concubine Ling to go back first, and stayed in Kunning Palace tonight, and talked to the queen about Yongxi, without seeming cold!Concubine Ling only felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, although she comforted herself in her heart, the emperor was just comforting the twelve elder brothers in distress.But I have to say that she also came here this time. Apart from wanting to watch the excitement, she also wanted to remind the emperor that after turning over her signboard today, she could return to Yanxi Palace after scolding the queen. However, In the end, letting Concubine Ling grit her silver teeth, she really lost her wife and broke her army!

When Concubine Ling returned to Yanxi Palace, that gentle smile froze on her face!The handkerchief in her hand is already out of shape, well, we have to say one thing, in fact, apart from smashing porcelain, Concubine Ling also has another hobby, which is twisting handkerchiefs!However, Yanxi Palace still changed a lot of porcelain that night...
