Returning Pearls to Yongping and Qianlong

"How could it be possible for your concubine to do such a terrible thing? Didn't I become an accomplice in killing the little Yanzi?" Qing'er's sharp voice broke in in disbelief, and she walked quickly to Ling Concubine's side and pulled Ling Concubine He asked with his hand: "Mrs. Ling, this must be a misunderstanding, right? They all misunderstood you, right? Tell me, did I harm Little Swallow?"

Ling's concubine's face was really blue, how could Qing'er suddenly come out, it would be too fake to say something she didn't know at this time.Moreover, the nails on Qing'er's hand dug straight into the flesh of Ling's concubine's hand, but she kept pushing harder and harder.

"Gege Qing, no, Princess Qing, pay attention to your words and deeds, you are questioning your adoptive mother! Also, where are your rules? You have only been here in Yanxi Palace for a long time, and you can't even salute when you meet the queen. Wouldn't it be?" Nanny Rong couldn't get used to it, after all, she used to be around the queen mother who knew the rules, why did she suddenly mutate when she saw the concubine Ling?

"Forget it, the feng shui of the Compassionate Palace is better." The queen waved her hand and hurt Lingbi and Qing'er again, and then said: "Little Yanzi did die of illness in the palace, and the fifth elder brother was indeed just sick," the queen said. Looking at Qing'er with cold eyes, he warned: "If someone says something wrong again, don't blame me for being rude for the dignity of the royal family!"

Seen by the queen's glance, and frightened by the content of the words, Qing'er quickly fell silent, her face pale.But in her heart, she felt a little uncomfortable. She had never been treated like this before.

The queen ignored it, and said to the concubine Ling: "As for whether the golden lock is a matter of stealing, I will find out and report it to the emperor, and the emperor will decide!"

After hearing the queen's first sentence, Ling concubine was overjoyed, but the latter sentence made Ling concubine uncomfortable again: "Empress empress, it's just a court lady, why bother the emperor?"

The queen smiled and said: "Your concubine's words are wrong. If you were a maid in Yanxi Palace, you would kill one of them and I would add another one for you. But this golden lock is the person of Mingzhu Gege, and I will not give Mingzhu Gege one." It’s hard to justify the confession. As for your concubine, hehe, you are the emperor’s favorite concubine, so I don’t dare to accuse you of any crime directly. I can only trouble the emperor, don’t you think so?”

After asking, he added: "Furthermore, this matter involves the legendary Shufangzhai. If you are not careful, and bump into something like Gege, I can't afford it!"

The concubine gritted her teeth tightly, as soon as this happened, her image in the emperor's mind was completely ruined.The handkerchief hissed and tore to pieces.The queen looked at it and said: "How do the people down here do things? The handkerchief of the concubine Ling is obviously not good enough. Let someone change it for a new one, and write it down under my name!"

"Your mother-in-law has gone to the Palace of Yanxi Palace." Qianlong said to Yongzhen who was sitting with him eating.By the way, I gave Yongzhen some chopsticks for Yongzhen's favorite dishes, er, of course, despite repeated admonitions, Qianlong's chopsticks for Yongzhen's dishes and the chopsticks he used were always the same pair.

"Well, I got it, it's for the golden lock! I guess Queen Mother will have to tell you about this in person, after all, your concubine is Huang Ama's favorite concubine." Yong Xing was not surprised at using a pair of chopsticks. Strange, said without raising his head after eating the food.

"Forget it, let your mother-in-law handle this matter by herself! Let's not talk about it." Qianlong added another dish to Yongzheng.

Yong Xing ate slowly by himself, without even needing to stretch his chopsticks, he sneered after eating, "Don't you think that Queen Mother can't make up her mind, or I should respect you." Although he didn't say it clearly, Yong Xing In his eyes, the word "joke" was clearly written.

"Emperor Niang, this is just to see what your attitude is towards your concubine, so that I can avoid you as much as possible, so as not to violate your bottom line."

"Why is this? I haven't seen the queen encounter anything before, and she avoids me. Loyal words are harsh, but she often talks about it." Qianlong was a little funny. Qianlong was not used to it.

"Is there any other reason, her son is living under your nose, you are not going well, the one who suffers is her son, can she not be careful?" Yongzheng looked at Qianlong with a half-smile and said.

When Qianlong heard this, he was very happy: "The empress must never have imagined that it's because I don't go my way that my son suffers. Obviously it's her son who always makes me suffer."

Yongzhen was noncommittal to Qianlong's words. Although he did often make Qianlong feel uncomfortable, he did not admit that Qianlong would suffer. There are still many times when he takes advantage of it!

Yongzhen didn't talk about that matter anymore: "No matter what, Huang Erniang will always be my most important person." What Yongzhen said was categorical, and he also explained to Qianlong that no matter what Qianlong's plan was, his emperor The forehead is his weakness.

Whether to turn this weakness into a bargaining chip, or to protect this weakness, is the choice Yongzheng gave Qianlong this time.It's not a choice, it's just another trial.

When Qianlong demoted his concubine to Wei nobleman and moved into the side hall of Yanxi Palace from then on, when the imperial decree of Qigege to raise Concubine Ying arrived at Yanxi Palace, Qianlong had already taken Yongxiu to stand on the gate tower welcoming Fu Heng's army's triumphant return. superior.

Fukang'an rode his horse and walked in the front row. Although he was young, he made a lot of military achievements in this expedition.Originally, he could have walked beside Fu Heng, but he asked for orders to walk in the front, with the soldiers who cleared the way.Fukang'an gradually walked into the gate of the city. He held his head up and looked forward resolutely, perhaps looking for the person he wanted to see first.

The city wall was finally in sight, and there were vague figures on the city wall, so I couldn't see it carefully.Fukang'an took a deep breath, he didn't know why he wanted to see that person so much.When he was on the battlefield, he once again fell into danger due to carelessness and narrowly escaped death.After he was safe, he thought of the figure in his heart more than once when he was in danger.He was very happy that he still had the chance to go back and fulfill his promise, and he still had the chance to repay the favor of Elder Brother Twelve.

Some representatives of the civil and military officials stood behind Qianlong, looking at the [-] elder brothers Yongzhen who stood side by side with Qianlong only half a step behind, thinking about the emperor's intention for such an arrangement.Is this a disguised name for Elder Brother Twelve?

The army finally reached the gate tower, and when Yong Xin raised his eyes, he met Fu Kang'an, who was in the first row below the gate tower.Yong Xing was very happy to give Fu Kang'an an appreciative smile.Let Fukang'an maintain his expressionless face, revealing a smile.Qianlong naturally also saw Fukang'an in the first row, but now he has no time to think about other things.

After going through the condolence process, after the rewards are announced, and the leaders of the army are welcomed into the capital, it is considered over.After going down the tower, Yongzhen touched the jade pendant on his waist, and immediately wanted to meet Fukang'an.Qianlong grabbed his hand quickly, and said with a smile: "Don't run around, the matter is not over yet, and you still have to meet Ba Leben!"

Originally, Ba Leben didn't need to be greeted by him in person, but since he had already come out to greet the soldiers triumphantly, it was not a loss of face to meet him directly by the way.Being able to hold Yong Xin here who wants to run around is a feat in one fell swoop.

Yongzhen raised his eyebrows, looked at Qianlong's natural look, did not speak, and followed Qianlong all the way to the palace.Some officials in the back, because they were always paying attention to the emperor's movements, naturally saw the movements between the two of them.I couldn't help but think to myself, next time who will say that Brother Twelve is not favored, he should just commit suicide.

At the gate of the palace, all the brothers of Qianlong had already stood at the gate of the palace to welcome Qianlong and Baiguan back.Seeing Elder Brother Twelve who was only half a step away from Qianlong, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After Qianlong arrived, he didn't go back to the palace directly, because Ba Leben had already entered the capital, and he would be here soon.Qianlong dragged Yongzheng to wait together. As for the officials and brothers behind him, Qianlong had already ignored them.

I didn't mention it during the meeting, but only mentioned that Qianlong pointed to the back: "These are real sons!" Although he didn't take it seriously when Qianlong introduced them to a chieftain from a foreign country, but Qianlong's words of showing off still let those brothers I am very happy.

"Why don't you see your daughter?" Ba Leben asked for no reason. He had already introduced his daughter Saya before, and also explained the purpose of his visit.

Qianlong smiled and said, "Women in the Qing Dynasty generally don't see visitors."

Ba Leben said disapprovingly: "Daughters are as honorable as sons!" Yong Xin smiled and said: "Princesses of the Qing Dynasty are naturally honorable, no worse than your son."

The broad and profound Chinese language successfully made the civil and military officials who followed him understand the twelfth elder brother's wit and intelligence, and a deeper understanding.Qianlong was also happy in his heart.

Seeing that Ba Leben hadn't reacted yet, he smiled and said, "I'm a guest from afar, please!"

"Please!"
