Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

Chapter 25 The Harem Is Tranquil

Maybe this period of time was too exhausting, which made Qing Ting feel tired. When people are tired, it is easy to recall the past. How I wish I could go back to the past, relaxed and natural.Thinking day by day and dreaming night by day, Qing Ting dreamed of the past, when it was just Qing Ting, there was no Shihao, no Qianlong, only a cheating father and his mistress, and she could deal with it without her exhausting her efforts, giving her a lot of time Like many college students, facing the computer, eating candied chestnuts, watching "csi", maybe it is not the same as many college students, about what movies to watch in front of the computer, sometimes she will eat Watch the old forensic doctor dissect the corpse while eating food with red ketchup.Thinking back to those days, it was a rare pure happiness for her.

After waking up from the dream, she is still the queen of the Qing Dynasty, and has an emperor husband who does not know if she has changed now. She is no longer young, and like many married women, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she will not show it on her face , The expression on the face is always what others want to see. A woman who is over 40 years old has too many things to worry about.

When Nanny Rong was combing Qing Ting's hair, she told Qing Ting: "Master, last night, Huanzhugege pretended to be a little eunuch and climbed over the wall, and was taken to the emperor."

Qing Ting watched the palace lady put on a pure gold carved bracelet for herself, and asked, "Why did you say it now?"

"Master, it's already passed the third watch, so it's rare for you to sleep well these days, master." Nanny Rong replied, and then said, "Master, the emperor has already dealt with it."

Qing Ting heard that Nanny Rong was trying to betray her, so she looked at her and asked, "How did the emperor deal with it? Mammy is usually quick to talk, so why did she betray her now?"

Mother Rong smiled, and said: "If you want to return to the master, Huanzhugege was severely reprimanded by the emperor. I don't know what he said, and he was slapped twenty times by the emperor. Learn the rules well, the two nuns selected by the concubine Ling were fined because of their incompetence, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was asked to pick two strict nuns, and the two nuns will go to Shufang Zhai to teach early this morning. Returning the Pearl is well-behaved, and this time even the concubine Ling was fined with a salary and ordered to confine herself to reflect."

Qing Ting understood that it was impossible for the little swallow not to shed her skin this time, but if she wanted her to shed her skin, she had to suffer a little.Qing Ting prayed that the two nuns would know how to fight, but after all, Little Yanzi is a princess, and she was also known as "the emperor's favorite princess" before, even if she got slapped this time, it doesn't mean she just fell out of favor Yes, the nuns still have scruples.Qing Ting thought to herself: For the sake of the nuns' safety, I really hope that they will let the little swallow memorize the palace rules first, and keep their mouths shut.Qing Ting asked what she had been thinking about all the time: "Yesterday's sacrifice to heaven, are the three elder brothers all right?" As for the concubine Ling, she can't take it lightly unless she completely collapses. Who can be sure what the emperor is thinking.

"If you go back to your mother, the three brothers are fine, and you are too worried, my mother. The three brothers have grown up, and it's nothing to worry about.

Difficult job, where can go wrong. "Nurse Rong understood Qing Ting's meaning and knew how to answer.

That is to say, there is no news. Could it be that Ziwei didn't see Little Swallow?Or it was something they couldn't tell her.I can't tell her, maybe I have already told the emperor.Qing Ting is not sure what the emperor wants now, so it's hard to take action. "It's good that you're fine. If the three brothers want to have a good future, it's useless to rely on their family background. They have to be poor."

Mother Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, but the three brothers have never lost face to you, Master."

"I have to be more thoughtful, Madam Rong, pass on my order, Ge Ge is not allowed to talk about what happened last night, or I will never forgive you." How about Gege in the palace, Gege's reputation can't be maintained, there is still one waiting to be married in the palace, two unmarried and three young Gege, none of them should be implicated by that Xibei.

The emperor banned Little Swallow's feet and asked her to learn the rules. The reason was that everyone in He Palace soon knew about it.Although Little Swallow has done a lot of things out of the pavilion, but the behavior of jumping over the wall in the middle of the night is too shocking to the world. The concubines can't say it clearly, but they were horrified in their bedroom. Concubine Chun also heard about it and was greatly stimulated , I am deeply afraid that my daughter will be affected by the little swallow. People who are ill should not fluctuate too much in their emotions, but Concubine Chun is already a shadow of a snake, and a little trouble can make her frightened. She can only secretly pray that before her daughter gets married, That folk Gegewan can't act like this again, otherwise the emperor and queen won't be able to suppress the gossip.

The little swallows in the harem can no longer fly around casually, the queen is as calm as ever, and the concubines also feel a little unusual. When you are uncertain how the situation will develop, not to act rashly is precious advice and valuable experience. The imperial concubine Ling was grounded this time, so it can be seen that the emperor was really angry, and he was so angry that he didn't turn over his cards for several days in a row.

Now Qing Ting no longer needs to use her seal to prove which woman Qianlong is going to have trouble with at night, guessing in her heart that the newcomer should not be Qianlong. , have never taken a step forward, Qianlong couldn't do without women.It is normal for wives and concubines who are far away from others, unless they have extremely low moral sense to take over other people's wives unscrupulously; those with "stronger" moral sense will "helplessly" become a cheap husband after some "painful" consideration; If you are higher, you will choose to "get together and get away" and let the two parties be free, but considering the background of this story and the identity of the characters, this is impossible; but there is another way, that is, let the women eat, drink, and wear well. As long as they stay aside quietly, don't hinder him from finding his "true love".Qing Ting thinks the last one is very possible, maybe the person in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is counting the date of death of herself and the concubines, so that the new one can replace the old one.Qing Ting was worried, in case that person is also familiar with history,

Thinking that the queen will eventually become a queen who has not been abolished anyway, what should I do if I find a reason to abolish her in advance?Qing Ting thought about it, as long as she obeyed the etiquette and didn't trouble the emperor, he couldn't drive herself from Kunning Palace to Leng Palace with a single word.Qing Ting feels that there are quite a few emperors like Qianlong who did not restrain the two major desires of people, excluding foolish monarchs, most of them are mediocre monarchs, and some are classified as wise monarchs, but they are actually the same type of scum, so , must not have expectations of the emperor.

I don't know if the new Qianlong didn't know the situation well, or if he did it on purpose, he didn't even order that no one was allowed to enter Shufangzhai at will, so Yongqi and the Fu family brothers reported to Shufangzhai every day.Qing Ting listened to her own people saying that one day at a certain time, the fifth elder brother brought his bodyguard Fulkan and companion Fulte into Shufangzhai, waved away the crowd, and closed the door with Huanzhugege, muttering about something When, she trembled in her heart. The fifth elder brother and the others were so self-righteous. Qing Ting could guess that their every move was reported to the emperor without confirming it. She herself did not dare to act rashly. Passed it to her, she would not use her own people to find out the news inside, so why did Fifth Brother and the others think they were very safe?Because they are favored elder brothers and favored slaves?Fujia never thought of them as slaves.

Qing Ting sat quietly for a while, and still called Lan Xin to play chess with herself.It's still the same sentence, it's better to be still than to move, how she should live, Shufangzhai will never lack anything, and the food and clothing expenses of the princes and princesses can't be changed, and she still has to ask every now and then Express your concern at once, and take the young elder brother to Kunning Palace to eat together when you have time, and take care of your homework by the way, and there will be no negligence in palace affairs. In short, she is a good aunt and a qualified queen .

——————————————————————————————

Qing Ting can live a peaceful life in Kunning Palace, but Little Yanzi can't do it. She has already admitted to Yongqi and Fujia brothers that her Gege is a fake, she just "borrowed" her father, and she will return this Gege's identity to her. go back.But first, Ziwei must be found.

Little Yanzi said that she heard Ziwei call her name that day, so she brought a lot of gold, silver and jewels to give to Ziwei at night. She knew it was wrong to "borrow" her father, and she wanted to make it up to her.Little Yanzi repeatedly claimed that she would really "return" her father to Ziwei, and when she was in a hurry, she would also say "I want the first one".

But the fifth elder brother didn't want her to "take the first one", and Forte also cherished the little swallow's life. Since neither of them wanted the little swallow to take risks, Vulkan naturally wouldn't openly object and instigate the little swallow He directly admitted that she was a Xibei product.

But Fuerkang and Fuertai went to find Ziwei and Jinsuo according to the address of the mansion that Xiao Yanzi said, but they learned that Ziwei and Jinsuo had disappeared since the day they sacrificed to heaven, and Liu Qing and Liu Hong crowded in the crowd , I didn't see it very clearly, I just knew that both Ziwei and Jinsuo were arrested by the officials.

The soldiers took them away, and at the end, the brothers and sisters of the Liu family asked who they were, why they came to see them, and how they knew that they lived here temporarily.The Fu family brothers couldn't reveal the news, they just said a few perfunctory words and got away.

Little Yanzi was very anxious when she heard the news of Ziwei's disappearance. She was so afraid that Ziwei would have an accident, and she was even more afraid that Ziwei would not forgive her.Maybe Ziwei just disappeared, and any problems can be solved, but Little Swallow doesn't think that Ziwei's accident will never reappear. Of course, it's best for her and Ziwei to be safe and sound.

Fulkan pointed out: "That day, the guards around Little Swallow were all the queen's people, and the leader was her nephew Yilaqi. He must have seen Ziwei, maybe he hid Ziwei."

Little Yanzi immediately said: "Then hurry up and rescue Ziwei, that empress did not make my concubine gentle at all, but I thought she was a good person when I saw her for the first time, hmph, she actually said that I was angry with her, what did I do?" Didn't even do it." It was obvious that she was narrow-minded and made herself sick for no reason.

Yongqi comforted Xiaoyanzi: "Don't mention that matter again, little Yanzi, some words are not good for you if people with ulterior motives hear them. You have to admit that the old illness you were angry with relapsed, but fortunately, Huang Ama Shengming didn't make things too difficult for you, little swallow."

Little Yanzi proudly said: "Of course, Huang Ama was so easily deceived by that queen." She never expected that Huang Ama, who Yongqi said was a saint, would be deceived by her, a low-level liar.

Forte interrupted Little Swallow and said, "The point now is not the queen, but the person who might be the queen took away Ziwei and Jinsuo."

Vulkang nodded, frowned and said: "That's right, this will be troublesome. Ziwei knows everything now, and she will definitely misunderstand Little Swallow. If she tells that Little Swallow is fake, then Little Swallow will be in danger." gone."

Yong Qi said: "However, Huang Ama hasn't said anything to Little Yanzi until now, it seems that Ziwei hasn't said anything yet."

Fulkan shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. The queen is full of tricks. The emperor has trusted the queen more and more in the past few years, but on the surface, she doesn't seem to have done anything. This is the most terrifying thing. One of her pawns, ready to deal with the concubine Ling, the fifth elder brother, the little swallow, and all of us."

Yong Qi agreed with his words: "That's right, the queen has been hiding her secrets for the past few years. It seems that she is not the most favored in the harem, but in Huang Ama's heart, the queen is very important and cannot be easily replaced. .”

Little Yanzi pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction, and said: "I really don't understand, it's not enough for Huang Ama to have such a gentle and beautiful wife as the concubine, can the concubine not trust her? Why does Huang Ama want a queen, and there are so many concubines in the harem? There are a lot of big wives and little wives." She wanted to say that Qianlong was sorry for Lingfei at all.

Forte said: "After talking for a long time, I didn't say what to do. If the queen really wants to use Ziwei as a pawn to knock us down, how should we deal with it? What should the concubine do? Do it, you know, the little swallow was recognized by the concubine Ling, the empress has long been incompatible with the concubine Ling, and will never let go of any opportunity to attack the concubine Ling."

"It is precisely because of this that we have to think long-term about how to make the queen's trick come to nothing." Vulkan said.

Forte hesitated for a moment, and said: "Or, let the little swallow insist that she is the real treasure left in the sea, and the queen suddenly finds out a girl who says she is the emperor's daughter, the emperor will not believe it easily. Little swallow knows that Ziwei is the daughter of the emperor. He has a family background, and is quite favored by the emperor, so he should..."

Fifth elder brother interrupted him: "No, this little Yanzi who is 'Gege' must 'return' to Ziwei." He had long had a special affection for Little Yanzi, since he knew that Little Yanzi was not a real sister, He had been secretly delighted for a long time, so he couldn't agree to Forte's plan, "What's more, if Huang Ama goes to Jinan to look for people from the Xia family, then the little swallow will be exposed. When Huang Ama is furious, the little swallow will not be able to keep it." gone."

Fulkan sighed: "What we say now is based on the fact that the Queen knows the truth. What if the Queen didn't act because she didn't know anything? Little Swallow, I want you to tell me clearly, Ziwei What kind of girl is she, is she really reliable?"

Little Swallow nodded repeatedly, and said: "Ziwei is a very nice person. I am a performer on the street. She gave me a lot of money. No one has ever given me that much money. She even saved me. She...we are sworn sisters, we agreed If you have the same blessings and share the same hardships, she will not harm me."

Fulkan said: "Well, let's trust Ziwei for a while, and believe that she has not let the queen know anything. First, we must find out where she is. Think about it, everyone, where the queen can hide Ziwei and Jinsuo."

Yongqi said: "The empress wants to hide the two living people. She won't come out on her own, and the people in the palace are also unlikely. They can only be people from outside. I think you all understand that it can only be The queen's nephew."

Vulkan agreed: "That's right, it's Iraqi, or all three of their brothers are involved." He remembered that due to Tu Ming'er's troubles, he was too tired to lose the chance of promotion, but he took advantage of this to rise to the top. On top of him, he remembered that because of this, he lost a good chance to make friends with Qing'er.In his mind, Qing'er is good at poetry, smart and clever, but unfortunately she lives in the deep palace and is not allowed to be free, and there are no girls as agile as her in the palace, they are all upright and lifeless. The son has no confidant, she is a girl with no father, no mother, and no brothers, and her life experience is pitiful, so he can't help feeling sorry for her, and wants to get to know her very much, to see with his own eyes whether she is what he thinks in his heart, maybe they can become friends, confidants, and even closer

relationship.

They discussed and discussed, thinking that Ziwei and Jinsuo must be hidden in the mansion by Nala's family, or else they would be hidden in some Zhuangzi. The secret must be hidden and will not be leaked easily, and Nala's mansion must be well guarded, so it is not easy to get confused. Go in and find out the news.But how can you get tiger cubs if you don’t enter the tiger’s lair? Kunning Palace and Nala Mansion are all places that they need to spy on. Nursing courtyards and other things got mixed up, and Kunning Palace needed their own night visits. This is a very important matter, and it must not be left in the hands of others. Maybe this night visits to Kunning Palace, they can learn something they need to know, so Even if it is dangerous, it is necessary.

Little Yanzi really wanted to go, but in view of her kung fu and ability, the three resolutely dissuaded her.Little Swallow could only wander around Shufangzhai waiting for news.In fact, she wanted to believe that Ziwei would not "betray" her, but on the other hand, she knew that it would be difficult for Ziwei to forgive her for "borrowing" her father.Alas, it would be great if I could explain to Ziwei clearly how "helpless" she was at that time.She wants this opportunity to explain, she really didn't intend to do this Gege, she can only blame the feeling of having a father is so good, this kind of life is so good, she will return everything to Ziwei, of course, the premise On condition that her head doesn't move.She was afraid that the emperor would get angry, the last time she wanted to go out to find Ziwei, the emperor had a gloomy face, and he gave her twenty mouthfuls casually, she was afraid, because at that time the eerie aura about the emperor, strange and frightened her.

Little Yanzi, Yongqi and the others all forgot that the emperor had just asked her to learn the rules behind closed doors a few days ago, Shufangzhai also had two nuns appointed by Qianlong, and some little palace ladies, little eunuchs, Su Wait, it's not easy for the emperor to keep his confidant's attention. Even if Yongqi and Fujia brothers can still watch kung fu, it's not easy to get close to eavesdrop, but Yongqi won't be allowed to come in without calling out. They really stayed away obediently, their voices were not deliberately lowered, and some words could still reach the emperor's ears.

The emperor was puzzled when he listened to his people repeating the words about Ziwei, Jinan, the empress, Kunning Palace, Ye Tan, etc. After these days, he also knew that this Qing Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty he knew. But the principles of heaven still exist, why do these people have no scruples in their actions?It's not that the emperor didn't want to clean up the little swallow, he was just waiting for someone he sent to Jinan.

The emperor is not suspicious, he has to be 100% sure who is deceiving him and how much he has been defrauded.Qianlong once sent someone to Jinan to repair Xia Yuhe's grave. The emperor hated him so much at the time, but he couldn't influence Qianlong and could only let him go. But the behavior of the little swallow was too weird. Sent some other people to Jinan to quietly inquire about some news.The advantage of doing this is that if someone was doing tricks in Jinan before and saw someone repairing Xia Yuhe's grave in a low-key manner, they would think that he would get the news that the play in Jinan was over, and those people would leave. group

The people who have arrived in Jinan will report the situation to him in secret. After comparing the two, he also has an idea in his heart. If someone wants to do something now, he can see it early.Even if he saw Ziwei, he couldn't believe it, the words came out of his mouth like the wind, unbelievable.

The imperial palace has never been a safe place, and the women in the harem are never simple. Even if the princes and daughters are their own, they don't know when they will start thinking about how to get benefits from their own emperor Ama. The princes still have to worry about it. Think about that position.

When the sign was turned over, the emperor said: "Forget it." Now that the empress's sign was turned over, the three people who wanted to visit Kunning Palace at night would postpone their plan. This kind of thing happens, but I don't want people to remember "Night Detective" forever.

However, the three of them mentioned the queen and her nephew, which reminded him that the queen's nephews were all geniuses, or had places to use.The emperor thought of the firearms presented by Linge, which might be useful tonight.

The emperor's eyes changed, and he remembered what he had seen before, so much shame, but it was the Qing Dynasty, and it really happened in the land of the Qing Dynasty.
