"The Empress Dowager returns to the palace—"

"Minister, welcome the Queen Mother back to court—"

This early in the morning, Chunhua was urged by Nanny Rong, put on the cumbersome court clothes, and stood guard at the entrance of the Meridian Gate before the hour.Not only her, but even the princes and daughters, as well as all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all present.

This is the first time Chunhua has encountered such a big battle after coming here for so long.

It's really giving the old lady enough face.

Looking to the side of the princes, Yong Qi was standing at the front because he was the eldest son, and behind him were his brothers. Chunhua looked to the end of the line, and Yong Qi, who was supposed to be the most energetic, stood at the end. bit.

Looking back, Chunhua followed Qianlong to meet the old queen who came down from the chariot.Behind her, two girls in palace costumes, one red and one green, got off from the other two cars, and supported the old lady from left to right.

Probably Qing'er and Lan Xin?

"Haha... my son welcomes the queen mother, you have worked hard all the way." Qianlong looked very happy, and snatched the old queen from the hand of the girl in red.

"Get up..." The old queen's eyes swept over the kneeling civil and military officials and the princes and princesses, and finally fell on Qianlong, and said with a smile: "The Ai family is for the emperor, for our Qing Dynasty, and for the sake of the Qing Dynasty." Praying for blessings, there is no hard work, but the emperor has a lot to do every day, so pay more attention to your body."

Chunhua took a step behind, and while speaking, the old queen stretched out her hand to Chunhua, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the queen has become a lot lighter, she must have not taken good care of herself." Although she said so, the old queen accepted He smiled and glanced at Qianlong.

The implication is that you must have failed to take good care of the queen and made others angry.

Qianlong touched his nose in embarrassment, and smiled vaguely.

Chunhua stepped forward to hold the other hand of the old lady, and the girl in green walked up to her side, teasingly said: "Yes, but the queen's mother is getting more and more beautiful, and Lan'er can hardly recognize her." It's over!"

"You're just good!" The old queen laughed and shook her head, looking at the princes and princesses guarding behind, "Okay, don't stand here anymore, it's cold today, let's go in quickly Bar?"

"What the Queen Mother said is true." Qianlong followed the old lady Hua's words, and Chunhua and the two helped him in like this.

Back at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, there were still all the concubines guarding there to pay their respects to the old queen, even the pregnant concubine Ling was not left behind.The dutiful son, Lord Qianlong, ordered people to decorate the place early on, and specially ordered people to light the old lady's favorite incense.

The old queen mother was naturally very satisfied with her son's affection for her, and Qianlong's return to the palace this time could be said to have given her enough face.

"Concubine Chun's complexion is not good, is it because she is not feeling well?" Because the positions of Concubine Concubine and Concubine Huang were vacant, Concubine Chun, Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling stood at the front.

The old queen looked at Chunfei's pale complexion at a glance. Although she had a smile on her face and her eyebrows and eyes were well-groomed with fat, the tiredness in her eyes still couldn't escape the old queen's eyes. .

"Go back to Lafayette, this is an old problem of my concubine, it's fine." Although Concubine Chun is a Han concubine, she hasn't done anything outrageous in these years, and she is also extremely kind on weekdays. She has a son and a daughter for the royal family, so the old queen mother is quite satisfied with her, at least she will not seduce the Lord.

Thinking of this, the old queen glanced away and saw Concubine Ling standing next to Concubine Chun.Speaking of this concubine Ling, the old empress really disliked it, no wonder, because she looked so much like the imperial concubine Huixian back then, and she was also a coquettish girl. Her old man also knows this trick.And that Huixian once made Qianlong almost fall out with her, and it was only then that the old queen had a grudge against Concubine Han.

"Concubine Ling is happy again? Why didn't anyone tell Aijia?" She glanced at Qianlong reproachfully. Although she said she was happy, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face was not very good-looking.

In the past few years, except for the concubine Ling who has been alive, all the palaces are unusually quiet. How can the old empress who has been here not know the tricks in it?

Hey, but what can I do if I know?As the empress dowager, although she sounds very honorable, but she has no real power in her hands!In addition, the queen is inflexible, although she has mentioned it many times, but Nalashi always can't understand her deep meaning.

The old queen took Chunhua's hand and pulled her to sit beside her. 'Why!Why doesn't the emperor like such a beautiful queen? '

Along the way, Qianlong winked at Chunhua more than once, making her extremely speechless, isn't it just to say good things to your precious daughter?But I have to have this chance too.

The impatient Chunhua just ignored him.

"Grandchildren pay respects to Lafayette..." Back at the Palace of Compassion, the princes and daughters greeted the old lady again.

"Get up quickly." The old lady gave a little support, and looked at the group of grandchildren and nodded with a smile. "Yong Xing, come quickly to Huang Mama's side."

Yongzheng is the eldest son, and the old queen mother's care for him is actually to save face for the queen. To be honest, Yongzheng's personality is too timid to please her.This series of actions by the old queen can be said to be a kind of support for the queen, and it is more for the concubines present to see. Although she went to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha, it does not mean that she is completely responsible for what happened in the palace. I no longer know.

in particular……

"The Ai family heard that... the emperor has a new daughter?"

No matter how Qianlong was the emperor, the empress dowager would still give him the face he deserved.Although the matter of the illegitimate daughter was no longer a secret, the old empress waited until all the concubines and princes and princesses had retired before pulling Qianlong to ask her questions that had been buried in her heart along the way.

As soon as his daughter was mentioned, Qianlong's face became embarrassed again, and his eyes wandered to Chunhua.

"The Ai family asked you something! What do you think the queen is doing?" The old queen was obviously dissatisfied with Qianlong's attitude. Could there be any conspiracy in it?" The old queen mother couldn't understand what kind of virtue her son is, "Also, why did you let Yong Qi move out of the palace all of a sudden?"

As soon as she mentioned her good grandson, the old queen's face suddenly became serious.

"Lafayette, don't be angry, you must be careful about your body, I think the Long Live Lord has his reasons." Qing'er swung the handkerchief and stroked the old lady's chest.

When she was talking, Chunhua was also watching Qing'er. When the old lady was questioning, only she and Qianlong were left behind, but she didn't care about Qing'er. I think she trusted her very much, right?

"Hmph! The Ai family wants to hear what the emperor has to say!"

Qianlong repeatedly said yes, and honestly told the old lady what happened in these days...

It's just that he deliberately concealed the fact that he wanted to bring Ziwei into the harem, so naturally Chunhua would not expose him.

"There is such a thing?" The old lady's face was gloomy, and she stood up holding Qing'er's hand, "Yong Qi really said that? He didn't hesitate to save that little swallow at the cost of his own life?"

After being confirmed by Qianlong, the old queen knocked on the armrest of the phoenix chair angrily, "It's really ridiculous! Emperor! Are you letting him go? Come on! Go to the fifth elder brother's mansion and give me that little swallow." Bring it here! I want to see what kind of vixen is it, who has fascinated my good grandson like this!"

The old queen was trembling with anger, and Qing'er comforted her again and again: "Lafayette, calm down...be careful of your body."

Chunhua just felt it was funny, that little swallow couldn't be called stunning, her face...it wasn't even Shang Ke.However, as a queen, she couldn't keep silent now, so she went to the other side of the old queen, took a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Don't be angry, the juniors are young and have little experience. , That's why I was deceived by those crooked people, just point it out, don't get angry."

The old lady picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but when she heard this, she put it aside again, "Queen, why didn't you persuade the emperor, you just recognized that wild mouse so hastily back then!"

If she were the queen in the past, she might say something because of this blame, which would make it difficult for both the queen mother and Qianlong, but Chunhua naturally wouldn't do that, although in her heart, she was right. The old lady's words were very disdainful.

'I advise?Does your son listen? '

"Lafayette... what you said is that it's all the concubine's fault." Chunhua just took a sneaky glance at Qianlong, and then admitted the accusation with an aggrieved expression.And the rest is naturally left to the old lady to make up for herself.

"Hey!" The old queen looked at Qianlong bitterly, this son, filial piety is filial piety, but he often gets confused in some places!

"Uh... Queen Mother, this Ziwei girl is cute and sensible... Would you like to meet her first?" Qianlong was thick-skinned, and he soon regained his composure. spoke up.

The old lady is obviously angry at this moment, let her see Ziwei?Does that make a good impression?

Chunhua couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart, Ziwei is still very useful to her, she must be protected right now, so she had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The injury hasn't healed yet, so it's not too late to come back later to say hello to Queen Mother."

Seeing the old lady looking at him, Chunhua said again: "This Ziwei is currently being raised by me, and she is also a sensible person. That girl Lan Xin is not here, so she just happens to accompany me to relieve my boredom."

The old queen knows that the queen is the most respectful of rules, and she has stricter requirements on her own palace. Hearing what she said, she has a better impression of Ziwei, "Let's wait for her injury to heal quickly. In this palace, we can always meet." After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Since this person is in your palace, please worry about the empress, don't let her take the tricks outside the palace. I brought it in, breaking the rules."

Chunhua naturally complied with her words, while Qianlong on the other side was about to argue when he heard the old queen's words mixed with his dislike for Ziwei!I didn't expect to be interrupted by the notification sound outside.

"What's the matter? I'm talking to Lafayette, can't I wait?" Qianlong was obviously looking for a place to vent his anger.

"I'm telling you, Long Live Lord, it's not that the slave is meddling, it's really... the news from the Palace of Yanxi Palace, saying it's..."

"What?" Qianlong became nervous when he heard that something was going on in Yanxi Palace.

"People from the Palace of Yanxi Palace reported that the imperial concubine suddenly had a stomachache after returning home...and...a lot of blood..." Before the little eunuch outside could finish speaking, Qianlong took three steps at once. He opened the door in two steps.

"What did you say?"
