Although Yong Xing rejected her olive branch "without knowing what to do", the Queen Mother had no other choice. Didn't the Song Dynasty still have Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe?The Queen Mother Kai Lai Yongxing is now hypocritical.So when she left Haining, she took Zhihua and left Haining with the excuse of liking Zhihua, knowing books, and hoping that Zhihua could accompany her.

This can be regarded as tacit understanding between the queen mother and the Chen family. Now we don't mention the matter of Zhihua's marriage. In the future, no matter who Zhihua marries, it will be good for the Chen family. draw away.

After inspecting the river workers in Haining, the team of the southern tour went to Hangzhou, the next stop.The magistrate of Hangzhou is a very slippery fellow, and the place of rest arranged for Qianlong and the others is the painting boat in the West Lake, which is elegant and leisurely, very graceful in the style of Jiangnan.

Qi Buchen was a little restless, but she knew it well, although this was no longer the book in her memory, and the so-called plot was almost in the air, but the occasional strong plot effect would be another way of not giving up. Come to make soy sauce.Hangzhou is a troubled place, and the famous Jiangnan girl Zhi Xia Yingying is what she is most worried about. Although she believes in Huang Ama's feelings for her brother and her vision, she still can't help being afraid.What if something unexpected happens?As long as she thinks about the ending of the original history when the empress's mother was abolished and imprisoned in the cold palace, and her brother died young in desperation and loneliness, she felt that fear was like a hand strangling her neck, making people breathless.

On the contrary, Yongzheng lived how he wanted to live every day, except for dealing with political affairs and inspecting officials with Qianlong, it can be said to be very leisurely.It made Qi Buchen feel that he was completely indifferent to the emperor and eunuchs, and his teeth itched in anger.

There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou is worthy of its reputation. The blend of lakes and mountains makes the scenery extremely beautiful.Rafting on the West Lake is leisurely and content, but it is a pity that no matter how beautiful the place is, it can't stop the officials from flattering their horses and beards.

In the evening, there was a banquet to cleanse the dust, during which there were songs and dances arranged by the prefect of Hangzhou. Bring out a little smile.Sitting at the bottom, the prefect of Hangzhou felt relieved, and secretly scolded that Xia Yingying didn't know how to flatter her, but she was just a girl who still scooped up Qiao like this. If she could get the emperor's favor, wouldn't it be better than being a brothel girl to eat her youthful meal? Want to be strong?

A singing sounded from above the West Lake, the singing was full of melancholy and sorrow, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an obscene song.

"What's going on here? Why are there people swimming in the lake and singing at this time?" Qianlong couldn't help frowning, and what's the matter with this gloomy tune, it was extremely disappointing.

"Ah, back to the emperor, this is Miss Xia Yingying, the number one player in Baihua Pavilion, singing. This Miss Xia is very famous in our Hangzhou. Not only is she unparalleled in appearance, but her singing voice is also unique." The prefect of Hangzhou hurriedly replied.

"Hundred Flowers Pavilion? Oh, so she's a singer..." Yong Xing, who was still a little curious at first, lost interest when she heard it.A prostitute really can't attract the interest of a royal elder brother, but now he is more curious about another thing: "Since she sings so well, why didn't my lord arrange for her to sing a song today?" Yingying is a delicate and weak Yangzhou skinny horse. It is said that Huang Ama used to like this kind of thing. During the last southern tour, someone paid tribute to beautiful women. Why didn't he seize the opportunity this time?

"Brother Eleven, the servant did invite Ms. Xia Yingying to join the fun, but, it's just that Ms. Xia Yingying didn't agree, so I don't complain about coming."

"Oh? You won't come?" As soon as the words came out, everyone, including Qianlong, got a little playful.Refuse to come?What's the matter?A woman is not even willing to earn the money she has.

"Uh, yes, back to the emperor, Miss Xia Yingying is also famously arrogant. Now, no matter who invites her, as long as she refuses, she will never come out to sing."

"Oh, it turns out he's a noble one..." Yong Xing over there curled his lips in disdain, hmph, after all, he is a female cousin, what are you pretending to be noble, since he doesn't want to come, then now he's rolling the boat here to sing So what's the matter?Although Huang Ama said that he was not allowed to disturb the people and did not order the West Lake to be blocked, but ordinary people, who would not know that the dragon boat is here?Who dares to approach?Not to mention that you can hear her singing here, whether you want to welcome or refuse, it seems that Xia Yingying has some tricks.

"Well, then go and call that Xia Yingying to the boat. Anyway, it's singing everywhere, so let her come and relieve the boredom."

The person who went to invite Xia Yingying came back soon, and after a while, everyone saw a woman walking in with a pipa in her arms.

To say that this Xia Yingying was indeed quite pretty, in the harem surrounded by clouds of fat, swallow and thin beauties, she could barely be ranked above average.The main reason is that Xia Yingying seemed to be born with an aura of arrogance and cold plums when she was serious and unsmiling, which really gave people a refreshing feeling.But that's all.What beauties and talents have not seen the people present?Especially those who came out of the palace, how could they surprise a famous girl from Hangzhou?

However, both Yongzheng and Qianlong's faces were a bit ugly, because this Xia Yingying looked familiar, she was really too similar to that Xia Yuhe who had been waiting by the Daming Lake for many years!

Qianlong had long forgotten what Xia Yuhe looked like, but Xia Yuhe's death triggered Xia Ziwei's search for relatives, and a series of incidents that caused chaos in the palace, such as Xia Yuhe's death. There is also a portrait of Xia Yuhe attached to the brochure, but it left a deep memory on Yongzhen and Qianlong.In Qianlong's view, Xia Yuhe was a stain in his life, and he couldn't wait to erase it. Back then, he didn't even recognize Ziwei, so how could he tolerate a female branch girl to reveal this matter now?

So when Xia Yingying appeared in Xia Yuhe's reborn state, the feelings of seeing an old friend again were just floating clouds. Qianlong just felt disgusted, and wished that someone would drag her out and let her "disappear".

Xia Yingying came in and saluted politely, and she sang as soon as she was asked to sing, without saying a word, her appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing would indeed make some people feel guilty.But Qianlong only felt that she was very tired and crooked, and he didn't answer a word, so he waved her away with a wave of his hand, and didn't even mention the reward.

In the evening, when Yongzheng slipped from his own boat to Qianlong's dragon boat for the night, he mentioned it: "I have someone check it out, and the booklet just handed over at the sticky stick, that Xia Yingying is indeed the oiran of Baihua Pavilion in Hangzhou." , the background is very simple and clean. But it is too simple and clean, which makes people feel that there is a problem. Really, such a bad character came out well, but I don’t know what conspiracy is in it, and I don’t know what she is Where did I know about Xia Yuhe, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately pretended to attract our attention."

"It's probably just a few anti-Qing and Ming-ming organizations. They have been very active in the south of the Yangtze River recently. We'll just use our tricks. If there is a real disturbance, it's okay. It's easy to fish in muddy water, and I can take advantage of the chaos to solve mine. 'Okay' Queen Mother."

"You'd better mobilize more blood drops, especially around yourself, as well as my Queen's Mother, Brother Eleven, Qibuchenqi, Nayirha, and Galudai. Don't leave any of them behind, so as not to cause trouble. I don't know. What's the matter, ever since I arrived in Hangzhou, I've been in a panic, and always feel that something is going to happen." Don't look at Yongzheng's calm face, but only he knows the worries in his heart. No matter how you say it, this place can be regarded as a nightmare in his previous life. This is where his downfall began. At least he still had the basic treatment of a prince before Huang Erniang's accident, unlike what happened after that.

Feeling the anxiety and worry in his lover's heart, although it is strange that Yongzheng is not as calm as before, it is still more important to comfort him. Qianlong did not delve into Yongxin's unusualness, but just hugged Yongzheng and patted him on the back: "Don't be too nervous. Whether it's the queen, your siblings, or those two Fujins, everything will be fine. You've already sent so many of your own people by their side, haven't you? I'll also send a few more blood drops." , Keep them safe, not a single hair will fall out."

...In the next few days, to everyone's surprise, the emperor, who had no interest in Xia Yingying at first, frequently summoned Xia Yingying to the dragon boat. The sound of music and singing, as well as the emperor's happy laughter.

Everyone thought to themselves that the emperor's disdain at the banquet a few days ago was just a disguise, that Emperor Xia Yingying liked it, and if Xia Yingying's background was not so poor, the imperial concubine's will should have come down now.

Now Qi Buchen was really irritable instead of a little irritable. Qianlong was her empress ama, so she couldn't question her, but she could find another party to inquire.

"Brother! What the hell is going on here? Why did a vixen suddenly appear, and Huang Ama was bewitched and soul soup?" Qi Bu looked at Yong Xi who was leisurely flipping through the storybook. Chen was about to go crazy: "Why are you not in a hurry? Your man, Hong Xing, has cheated, so you're not afraid of history repeating itself?"

Touching Qi Buchen's head in a funny way, Yongzhen was really not in a hurry: "Okay, don't worry. If you have nothing to do, take Qinayierha and Galudai to accompany Huang Erniang, you guys It just happens to be a table of mahjong. If you don’t like to stay on the boat, go to Hangzhou city, remember to bring more guards. And remember to tell the queen mother for me, don’t get involved in this matter, Huang Ama has her own measure."

Qi Buchen was amused now: "You! Okay, I'm nosy, you don't worry about me." My annoying brother, there is definitely something wrong with laughing like this, every time I look at it Someone who laughs like this will be unlucky.You don't want to tell me anything, it's interesting to see me anxious, isn't it?

Yongzhen is not in a hurry, the queen has been too lazy to take care of Qianlong's affairs all these years, but the queen mother is in a hurry!The emperor obviously hadn't been to the harem for a long time, she thought that the emperor had started to cultivate his body and mind, why did he suddenly fall in love with a girl when he came out?Where should the face of the royal family be placed like this.The queen doesn't care.

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still, so she recruited Qianlong on the same day, and asked earnestly: "I heard that the emperor is singing and singing every night these days, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Qianlong had lost his face towards the queen mother since the incident of witchcraft last time, and he was a little too lazy to save face, but now it was not time to tear his face, so he could only frown and pretend to the queen mother, but it was clear As if unwilling to talk more: "Who is talking about Huang Erniang again? I just have nothing to do to listen to ditties, so why bother to disturb Huang Erniang's quietness here."

"Oh? It must be extraordinary to be valued by the emperor. Is it possible that it can be better than those masters of folk art in the capital? Then the Ai family should learn a lot. Why don't the emperor just recruit that singer and let everyone have a good time?" Open your eyes, how about it?"

"Miss Xia doesn't like excitement, so let's forget about it. If Queen Mother is fine, my son will leave!"

Seeing Qianlong like this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but get angry: "It's just a girl, it's such a big air to ask her to sing a song, and the emperor is still protecting her. Could it be that the emperor still plans to bring her into the harem?!"

Qianlong raised his eyebrows: "Why not if I want to see it?"

The queen mother got up angrily, her neck flushed with anger: "Ridiculous! What is Xia Yingying's identity? How can she enter the palace?"

Qianlong looked at the queen mother calmly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "No matter what her status is, I will bring her into the harem, and I will also make her a noble concubine!"
