Huanzhuzhirong's room

After today's greeting ceremony, the empress only left Concubine Ling.Before the other concubines left, they felt that it was a bit weird, but they left without daring to ask more questions.

For so many years, the empress has been holding the power of cooking the harem, and she will never let go.Rong Siji felt that this time the queen was enlightened, although only a little bit was allocated this time, it was still a good start.

Concubine Ling didn't know what to do, she looked at the empress with such a friendly smile on her face, she muttered in her heart, could it be that the empress had taken the wrong medicine?

"Concubine Ling."

Concubine Ling heard the queen calling her, and responded softly.

The queen said straight to the point: "Concubine Ling, in the past you learned a lot from Empress Xiaoxian, but now, I want to entrust some accounts to you."

The concubine Ling in the past was the maid who served Xiaoxian in the Changchun Palace.Later, Concubine Ling was granted permanent residence because Qianlong spoiled her drunk.But in order to be able to grasp this pawn well, Xiaoxian often left Wei Jiashi in the Changchun Palace.During those days, Concubine Ling didn't give birth to a boy and a half girl, and she still had to look at Xiaoxian's face to live, so she naturally felt very resentful in her heart.Now, as soon as the queen mentioned it, that memory came back vividly, and her heart sank.

The queen said: "I will leave the account books of the brothers and sisters to you."

"Empress, my concubine will definitely do my best." Ling Fei didn't expect that the queen would let her take care of her brothers' affairs. Isn't this giving herself a chance to win them over?Thinking of this, she felt a little better, it seems that the queen is confused!

Seeing that Concubine Ling looked so happy, the queen sneered in her heart, and said: "With your words, I feel at ease. I will send someone to send the account books to Yanxi Palace later. Recently, Huanzhugege She often runs to Ben Gong. Just yesterday, she begged Ben Gong to help her get two maids into the palace."

Speaking of this, the queen put on a very sad expression, and continued: "I see that after the little Yanzi moved out of the Yanxi Palace, the concubine Ling will be quite free, so I will entrust this matter to you .”

Hearing the queen's words, Lingfei felt a little uncomfortable, frowned, and then stretched out: "The concubine obeys the order."

At the end, when Concubine Ling got up to leave, the Empress smiled and said: "Concubine Ling, please don't disappoint my expectations!"

Concubine Ling didn't understand why the empress had a smug look in her eyes before she left, but after returning to the palace and looking at the account books, she understood.The other elder brothers are very well-behaved, only the fifth elder brother abused money last month.

The concubine Ling was so angry that she broke a porcelain cup, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "I thought it was weird at first, but why did the empress suddenly realize that she asked me to help with the harem affairs? Hmph, I didn't expect the beating That's an idea!" Over the years, the fifth elder brother was doted on by Qianlong, and he was very conceited.If what he said was not what he wanted, he would definitely remember it in his heart.

Lamei said: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry because of this."

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth and shouted: "Why are you angry? Why should I be angry?"

Lamei opened her eyes wide, ma'am, if you are not angry, then what is anger?

Concubine Ling suddenly got up and said leisurely: "The empress is a joke to see me, but I don't agree with her! Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, I will definitely handle this matter properly this time. Sure!"

Dongxue was also very angry. After comforting the concubine Ling a few words, she asked in a puzzled voice, "Mother, why did the empress ask you to do what the queen asked her to do?"

Lamei stared at Dongxue, she really added fuel to the fire!It was obvious that the empress wanted to make concubine Ling feel troubled, and it was something she begged the empress to do, but in the end it fell on concubine Ling.After the matter is completed, the credit will belong to the queen, and the concubine Ling who has worked so hard will not be remembered by the little swallow!

Of course Concubine Ling didn't answer Dong Xue, she just slashed at her fiercely, then sat on the chair, accidentally touched the hot teacup next to her, and immediately retracted her hand after being scalded, so the anger in her heart It was even more prosperous.

On this day, Qianlong came to Kunning Palace again.These days, the Empress also often called Yongzheng and Hehan here, in order to let them hang out in front of Qianlong more, so that Qianlong could pay more attention.

He Han often sees Qianlong recently, he is much bolder than in the past, and he yells "Huang Ama", which makes Qianlong happy from the bottom of his heart.Qianlong was so happy that he rewarded her with some things.

Today, Yong Xin didn't come, and he was practicing riding and shooting with Jian Da.

Qianlong smelled the incense in the palace and thought it was good, so he said, "The incense in the queen's house seems to be different from before."

The Queen smiled and said: "Nurse Rong made this incense, and my concubine smells good, so I often light it."

Qianlong glanced at Rong Siji, it was not easy for Nanny Rong to follow the queen for most of her life.Recently, the queen has changed a lot, and he may have contributed a lot.

Sitting on the kang, Qianlong glanced at Rong Siji and said: "It smells really fresh and elegant, and Nanny Rong's hands are very coincidental. I remember that the duck with green onions and peppers made by Nanny Rong is even better than that made by the Imperial Dining Room." Better."

When the queen saw Qianlong mentioning this, she immediately beamed with joy, "Then why don't the emperor have dinner with the concubine tonight? The concubine can let Nanny Rong cook this dish for the emperor."

Seeing this, He Han blinked his bright eyes and said: "Yes, Huang Ama, I will stay in Kunning Palace for dinner tonight. He Han still has a lot to say to Huang Ama."

Qianlong lovingly scratched Hehan's nose and said with a smile, "Since the Queen and Wu Gege have spoken, I have no choice but to stay."

Rong Siji was listening beside him, the corner of his mouth twitched.Fortunately, the queen didn't know that after he entered the small kitchen, he was a soy sauce maker.Even with Nanny Rong's memory of those palace dishes, it's not so easy to learn!

The queen also took advantage of Qianlong's stay in the Kunning Palace, and told her concubine Ling to take care of the harem together.

"Recently, there are a lot of things in the harem, and the concubine can't take care of it alone, so I let the concubine Ling help take care of the elder brothers' affairs."

Qianlong looked at the queen with some surprise. He also saw the relationship between the queen and the concubine Ling. He did not expect that the queen, who had been holding the power in the harem, would ask the concubine Ling to help. This was a bit beyond his expectation.The queen has been virtuous and open-minded recently.

With a look of judo, he said: "Empress, you should also pay attention to your body, don't get tired."

The queen sneered in her heart, she hadn't heard the emperor say these words for so many years, it's really rare to hear them today!

She was very cooperative and moved: "With the emperor's words, no matter how tired the courtiers are, they think it is worth it!"

The queen wanted to tell about Yongqi's affairs.But with the emperor's shrewdness, he will definitely find out that he deliberately let the concubine Ling take care of the elder brothers' affairs, making it difficult for the concubine Ling.At that time, if this matter is not sure, it will backfire.

After a few days, Concubine Ling reluctantly led Ziwei and Jinsuo to Kunning Palace according to the Queen's order.She originally wanted to send him directly to Shufangzhai, so that she could use this matter to get close to Little Swallow.But Rong Siji and the queen also thought that Concubine Ling would come to this trick, so they deliberately informed Concubine Ling in advance, saying that they wanted to give Princess Huanzhu a surprise and asked her to quietly bring him to Kunning Palace first.When Concubine Ling heard this, her teeth itched with anger.

——Well, you queen, you are so old, what kind of surprises are you going to give me!
