I am the Queen

Royal Garden

Seeing that the sky is clear today and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly, Lingxin takes Yong Yun and He Xuan to the imperial garden for a stroll.

"Emperor Niang, I want to find Thirteenth Brother." Yong Yun pouted dissatisfiedly. The three-year-old Yong Yun admired the thirteenth elder brother Yongjing the most, and said that he wanted to be like his Thirteenth Brother when he grew up.

"Yongjing?" Yongjing likes martial arts more than literature, especially those martial arts scripts, and often asks his third elder brother Yongzhang to bring him from outside the palace. This time, Yongjing once told Yongyun the story of Journey to the West. When they arrived at the Heavenly Palace, Yong Yun was so excited that he didn’t sleep all night. The story has not been finished yet. Yong Yun went to elder brother’s office when Yong Jing didn’t go to the study and riding and archery lessons. Today Yong Jing didn’t go In the study room, Yong Yun planned to look for it, but as soon as the nanny took him out and was about to leave the Lingkun Palace, Lingxin saw him and brought him to the imperial garden.

"Brother Thirteen, find Brother Thirteen." Yong Yun stubbornly wanted to find Brother Thirteen.

"Okay, Yong Yun, let's go for a walk in the imperial garden with Empress Huang. In the evening, Empress Huang asked Thirteen Brothers to eat." Lingxin knelt down and coaxed her youngest son with nice words.

"Okay." Yong Yun reluctantly agreed, because Brother Thirteen said he had to listen to Er Niang obediently, so he would tell him nice stories.

In an open place, Lingxin asked the nanny to put the children down and let them run.

It happened that Yongzhang took Ba Leben, his father and daughter, to the imperial garden, "This imperial garden is really beautiful, and the flowers are so bright, it is better than Tibet." Balben sighed in his heart that the Qing Dynasty is a land of outstanding people, The place where the Qing emperor lived is so exquisite.

"Father, look, that's a crane, in the water." Where did Seiya see this kind of animal in Tibet, and she inevitably reacted violently.

"Seiya, be more dignified, this is in the palace." Balben feared that Seiya would lose face in front of Yongzhang and others.

"Understood, Dad." In fact, part of this was Seiya's pretending. She had to show the innocence of a little girl, and she was amazed at the sight of the palace, so that Daqing felt that she was not a threat.

Lingxin's laughter attracted Ba Leben's father and daughter, "Where is that?" Ba Leben looked at Lingxin's clothes and the two children beside her, thinking in his heart which concubine this is, which elder brother Gege It's this age.

"That's the empress, the sixteenth brother and the tenth princess." Yongzhang followed Ba Leben's gaze and saw He Xuan catching butterflies there.

"Baleben sees the empress." Now that he has seen it, it is impossible for Baleben to ignore Lingxin. In this way, he will be said to ignore the existence of the Qing empress. The ten princesses are twins of dragon and phoenix.

Lingxin heard the voice and turned her head to see Baleben and Seya in Tibetan costumes. Lingxin knew that these were Baleben and his daughter from Tibet.

"Seiya sees the empress." When Lingxin looked at them, Seiya also bowed to Lingxin. Seiya felt that Lingxin was beautiful, noble and generous when she saw Lingxin.

"Yongzhang pays respects to Huang Erniang, Huang Erniang, this is Lord Baleben from Tibet and his daughter Miss Seiya." Yongzhang introduced to Lingxin.

"So it's a distinguished guest from Tibet who came from afar." Lingxin nodded her head. "Then Yongzhang, you can continue to accompany Master Ba Leben and Miss Seiya. I still have some palace affairs to deal with, so I will go back to Lingkun Palace first." It is not a formal meeting, and Lingxin does not want to spoil Qianlong's affairs by talking too much .

"Farewell to the Empress." Yongzhang took a few steps back respectfully, letting Lingxin and the others go first.

Here, when Ba Le came running, Elder Sixteen and Nanny Shi Gege each picked them up and left after Lingxin left.

Ba Leben originally wanted to exchange a few words with Lingxin first, establish a good relationship, and let Lingxin blow the pillow breeze. This Lingxin is quite favored by the emperor in the harem. She has three sons and two daughters, and also raised a son and a daughter. Rong Chong is rare in the emperor's harem, but why didn't the emperor love the house and love the five princes, which made Ba Leben wonder for a long time?At that time, he also asked the small officials stationed in Tibet. He didn't know.It seems that we still need to find someone else in the capital to inquire about the latest information.

Ba Leben pretended not to care and continued to follow Yongzhang. After walking around, Yongzhang arranged for them to rest in the Yihexuan, "Master Baleben, Miss Seiya is here to rest for a while. Someone will come during dinner." Please go to Qianqing Palace."

"Then trouble the third elder brother." Ba Leben knew that he should be respectful now that he was under the influence of others.

"Father, the third elder brother and the empress don't think much of us." Seiya complained dissatisfiedly when he saw Yongzhang leave and there was no one around.

"Saya, how did dad teach you, you have to be patient. In order to act as the chieftain of Tibetan affairs, you have to be patient no matter what. This will bring us more benefits. We are just a big noble in Tibet. This queen How can you bow down to us with the third elder brother Tianhuang and nobles?" Ba Le Ben has seen more than Seiya, after all, he has more life experience. He still remembers how tragic it was when Qianlong pacified Tibet. Qing's strength should not be underestimated.

"Understood, dad." Seya thought for a while and thought what Baleben said made sense.

"The slave will pour tea for the young lady." The little eunuch of Yihexuan was ordered to serve tea for the nobles inside.

"How long have you been in the palace?" Balak thought that if he wanted to know the emperor's preferences, he would need to find someone in the palace.

"My lord, the servant has been in the palace for five years." Although the little eunuch didn't know why this distinguished guest asked such a question, he still answered honestly.

"Five years, five years." Ba Leben took out a certain amount of money and gave it to the young eunuch, "My eunuch, I'm new here, I'm afraid that if I say something badly and I will offend the emperor, please let me know."

This little eunuch has been working in the Yihexuan since he entered the palace, and there is nothing to earn money on weekdays. Seeing the father-in-law in other palaces being given some money from time to time, I feel itchy in my heart. Doing decapitation, just talking, "If you want to ask anything, just ask, and the slave will definitely say it."

"I want to ask which brother is the emperor's favorite in this palace?" Ba Leben asked his first question.

"Of course it's the twelfth elder brother. Inside and outside the palace, no one in the court knows that he is the appointed prince." Although this little eunuch works in Yihexuan, he has long been familiar with the people in the palace. I asked his master about it, but I was afraid that I would offend the nobleman.

"The fifth elder brother?"

"Fifth elder brother, he was demoted by the emperor from Rong prince to Rong beizi. I heard from the master that this fifth elder brother has done many things that the emperor hates."

"The empress is very favored by the emperor?"

"That's right, who in this palace doesn't know that the emperor regards the queen as a treasure, and even the princes born to the queen are very fond of the emperor. These twelve elder brothers are the sons of the queen's empress."

"Thank you, Eunuch." After speaking, Ba Leben gave a certain amount of money to the young eunuch.

"Father, this is different from what we inquired about." Ba Leben had already told Seya about the situation in the capital on the way to the capital, but he didn't expect it to be different.

"Father doesn't know either, but it's okay. We haven't clearly expressed our attitude towards the fifth elder brother. This is just right now, and we should not stay here any longer, and get the approval of the Qing court to go back." Ba Leben still Don’t worry about Tibet. I received a letter from my eldest son yesterday. There are a few big nobles who are eyeing us. They want to take advantage of us while we are in the capital. They are giving Qing more benefits and letting Qing support them. .

"Father, I heard from my third elder brother that the emperor will summon us tomorrow, and then we can have a good talk with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The candidate for my husband is that Forte."

"Then who is Forte?" Ba Leben was not favored by the fifth elder brother, and it would be of no practical use to bring Forte to Tibet.

"Father, do you really think that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would choose me as my husband who is a pillar of his court? This Forte is my husband if you say it well, but he is one of Seiya's servants, a In exchange for a servant trusted by the Qing Dynasty. And I don’t think this Forte is a brainless person.” Seiya understood it very well.

"That's what you said, so that's him."
