Rebirth of Qianlong

When Qing'er woke up from her afternoon nap, it was already the end of the hour, and there was no one in the whole side hall, and the silence was terrifying.

She was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the pattern on the window curtain, her mind was blank.

Except for the eyes are still open, as if dead.

I don't know how long it took, the door was opened with a creak, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and someone came in.

"Qing Gege? Qing Gege?"

The maid who came in called her softly.

Qing'er didn't want to pay attention to it, she was still in a daze and didn't answer.

The maid thought she was asleep, so she didn't wake her up, so she got closer, only to realize that she was already awake, but she was not talking.This time, she was in trouble.

"Gege, it's getting late, are you getting up?"

"Gege, you've been sleeping for a long time, if you don't get up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep at night."

"Gege, Lafayette is about to wake up, why don't you go over and have a look..."

The palace lady talked nicely for a long time, but she didn't see Qing'er move, she panicked, wondering if Qing Gege was in a daze, when she heard Qing'er said lightly on the bed: "Wait for me to get up." Hearing it wrong, it wasn't until Qing'er frowned at her that she handed her the clothes and handkerchief...

Wash your face, put on makeup, dress up, everything is ready, look at it in front of the mirror, and make sure there is nothing wrong, then Qinger takes the maid to the front hall - Lafayette usually wakes up from a nap at this time, Qinger can't miss it to serve.

Along the way, the palace maid looked at Qing'er's expressionless face, her eyes staring straight at her, and she was devoid of the slightest bit of expression. She didn't have the aura that Lafayette loved to praise in the past.The palace lady only felt hairy in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

When she came to the main hall, Qing'er stopped for a while at the door, and when she left again, the maid was surprised to find that Qing'er had a cheerful smile on her face, as if she was in the right mood, and she felt chills all over her body when she looked so happy. I dare not look at Qinger.

Lafayette woke up early today, and now Nanny Gui has finished serving him, and he is sitting in the main hall drinking tea.When Qinger came, Lafayette hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I heard the maid said that you slept deeply at noon today, and she specially asked someone to tell you to sleep well, don't rush over here, why are you here again?" ?”

Qing'er smiled: "Lafayette is sympathetic to Qing'er, isn't Qing'er thinking of you too? Those court ladies and eunuchs, how can Qing'er know you, of course Qing'er will come here. Or, Lafayette already thinks that Qing'er is stupid Thick mouth and hands, don't you want to see Qing'er?"

"Hehe, you girl, you just have a smart mouth." Likely true or false, Lafayette scolded her a few words, but his face was full of joy.

Qing'er has been with her for many years, and knows that she is not angry, so she is not afraid, so she pulled Lafayette and laughed again, regained her breath, and asked: "Lafayette, it's boring to be left and right, why not, Qing'er Are you studying?"

In the afternoon, most of the concubines in the palace were resting, and no one came to pay their respects. The Palace of Compassion and Ning inevitably seemed deserted, and Lafayette also felt a little boring. Qing'er said that she wanted to study, which was exactly what she wanted, and there was no way she would disagree: "It really is Qing You understand what I mean, okay, just read a paragraph." At the same time, he asked someone to get the book, "By the way, didn't Yongzhang present a book last time? Just take that one."

Qing'er heard what Lafayette said, and laughed quickly: "Qing'er is blessed today. I heard that this book was written by San Elder Brother with all his heart. It must be extraordinary. Qing'er has been thinking about it for a long time. It’s finally time to see it.”

Lafayette laughed at her: "What good thing is worth your money?"

"This is not the same." Qing'er retorted coquettishly, "Thousands of gold, that is also a price, Qing'er will not rest assured. This book is the filial piety of the third elder brother, so Qing'er is naturally rare."

These words made Lafayette very happy. Yes, isn't her grandson's filial piety rare?

"If you say that the emperor is really wise and knows that the third elder brother is filial, no, he has only been alive for a long time, so he presented a book to Lafayette, but it is obvious that he really puts Lafayette at ease. Seeing the joy in Lafayette's heart, Qing'er said again, "Moreover, I must have spent a lot of effort in specially choosing the Buddhist scriptures that Lafayette likes. This kind of filial piety can compare with Qing'er." Lafayette should love Qing'er more, you can't forget about Qing'er if you have San Elder Brother."

Lafayette was coaxed by her into a smile: "tsk tsk, my mouth is full of honey today, and the words I said are so sweet to Aijia's heart. If Aijia loves you so much, it depends on your reading this afternoon." Is it good? If you recite it well, the family will reward you. This recitation is not good..."

"How is it?" Qing'er put on a pitiful little gesture and looked at Lafayette.

"Hmph, that will be punished." Lafayette also pretended to be serious.

"That's what Lafayette said." Qing'er smiled again, "After Qing'er has finished reading, Lafayette will give you a lot of rewards, so that Qing'er can be more blessed by Lafayette."

The girl brought up by one hand is so coquettish and amused by himself, the joy in Lafayette's heart can be imagined: "Okay, okay, I will give you good luck, I will give you good luck~"

All of a sudden, a court lady brought a book, but Qinger didn't take it right away, but asked Lafayette to find a comfortable position to lie down on, and arranged for Lafayette's favorite fruit tea, and then found a stool for herself to sit on. Next, Lang Lang read it.

In the afternoon when the heat had not yet dissipated, there was silence in the Compassionate Ning Palace, only the clear and melodious sound of the young girl reading, lingering...

Lafayette woke up early today, and didn't sleep for long. Being disturbed by the peaceful atmosphere, he became drowsy again. By the time Qing'er finished reading the book, Lafayette was already soundly asleep.

Qing'er winked at the maid, put away the book, and went out quietly by herself.He didn't let anyone follow him, he just went to the small yard outside, staring at the green bamboo in a daze.

"Ge Ge is admiring the bamboo? It's really leisurely." A female voice suddenly broke the tranquility. Qing'er looked back and saw Nanny Gui standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at her with a sneer.

"Nurse Gui was joking, I just stopped to rest for a while, not to appreciate bamboo." Qing'er said indifferently, with no expression on her face.If someone was there at this moment, they would be very surprised. They never knew that Qing Gege and Nanny Gui, who were always in harmony, would sometimes look at each other coldly.

"Gege is tired?" Nanny Gui seemed to be very anxious, "Since that's the case, don't stand outside, hurry up and sit in the room, don't you like this the most before the maidservant asks someone to rain on you?" ?”

Qing'er looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.

Nanny Gui didn't care, and just urged her: "Ge Ge, go inside, even though the sun is out now, there is still heat, Ge Ge's body is delicate, so she can't stand outside for a long time..."

"Why is Nanny Gui so polite?" Suddenly Qing'er interrupted her, "I still remember what Nanny said last night, why is Nanny coming to be polite to me now?"

Grandma Gui saw what she said, but her expression remained unchanged: "Ge Ge was joking, last night the servant reminded Ge Ge that your status, honor and disgrace all come from Lafayette, it is for the good of Ge Ge, I hope Ge Ge can see clearly Identity, don't do things that make Lafayette sad, this is also the loyalty of slaves to Lafayette and their concern for you."

Qing'er sneered: "Concern about me? You don't feel guilty about what you said, but I remember how you threatened me at that time. If I didn't follow the rules, you would tell Lafayette about me and Erkang. This will Come pretend to be a good person? Mammy, do you really think I'm a fool?"

But it turned out that Qing'er's anomaly today was caused by Nanny Gui.

It was just last night that Qing'er and Nanny Gui took care of Lafayette after washing up, and since they were not on duty for the night, they quit together.Qing'er was about to go back to her room, but was dragged to a secluded place by Nanny Gui to talk.The content is about the private letter between her and Fu Erkang, which makes Qing'er terrified.She also denounced Qing'er's concern for the fifth elder brother Ziwei, saying that she was betraying Lafayette.She even pointed out that Qing'er's current status and wealth are all due to Lafayette's doting, without Lafayette, she is nothing, just an orphan girl.

After following Lafayette for more than ten years, Qing'er has never been said so by anyone.She was very angry at the time, but when she returned to her room and meditated alone, she was covered in sweat and realized that what Nanny Gui said was very reasonable.

If there is no Lafayette's love, she is just a member of the clan, no parents to rely on, no brothers to support, she is that rootless duckweed, I am afraid that she will have to go with the waves, and there is no place in the palace today. .

This cognition dealt a huge blow to Qinger.She always thought that she was unique, that the emperor liked her, the ladies of the court liked her, and the palace maids and eunuchs respected her... But it turned out that all of this was for Lafayette's sake.She left Lafayette and was nothing.

For the whole night, Qing'er was stuck in that cognition and couldn't extricate herself.After Nanny Gui exposed the truth, she felt that her dignity had been trampled under her feet, and she was as embarrassed as if she was stripped naked in public.In the morning, she struggled to serve Lafayette, but in the afternoon, she couldn't help it anymore, and she showed her emotions behind the scenes.It was such a coincidence that Nanny Gui saw it again.

"Ge Ge, this servant is really doing it for Ge Ge's good." Nanny Gui looked at her with a serious face, "Ge Ge has been by Lafayette's side for so many years, and she should know what Lafayette likes. Forgive me for talking too much, why should Ge Ge be with Lafayette?" Do not like to mix with people? For your marriage, Lafayette will definitely choose the best one for you. Then you will get married in a glorious manner, and you will be prosperous and rich all your life. It's hard to say how, and why you want to be with him...it's self-destructive." I have to say that Nanny Gui still has a lot of affection for Qing'er, who has been taken care of by herself, and these words are very admonishing The meaning is inside.

But how could Qing'er listen to her?From her point of view, what Nanny Gui said was to let her die with Erkang's heart, and let Lafayette arrange the rest of her life after being a puppet doll.She is not reconciled, unwilling. "How can you understand the relationship between me and Erkang?" Seeing Nanny Gui frowning, Qing'er said again, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I will do what you said, and I will never talk to you again." Kang passed letters in private, and he would obediently serve Lafayette." To please Lafayette.

Nanny Gui always felt that Qing'er promised too quickly and gave up too easily, but she really couldn't see anything wrong with Qing'er's expressionless face, so she could only say: "Then please ask Gege!" Good for yourself," and left.

Qing'er sneered at her back.

Hmph, do you really think she would just give up so easily?Do not make jokes.

Compared with Ziwei's kind of folk half-way princess, Qing'er who grew up in the palace, no matter how much she was protected and loved by Lafayette, still has the unique scheming methods of this palace person.This kind of trait may not be visible for a while, but it will still show up when the real thing comes to an end.

And Qing'er is planning at this moment, to first deepen Lafayette's love for her, make Lafayette even more inseparable from her, and then slowly plan for her and Fu Erkang's future.

Erkang is so talented, the emperor will eventually know that his punishment for him was wrong.

And what she has to do is to change Lafayette's attitude towards Fulkan first.If Lafayette said he wanted to promote Fu Erkang, would the emperor still refuse?

After thinking about it, Qing'er showed her first sincere smile today...
