Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

Taking Qing'er into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother was not an impulsive decision. Qing'er had accompanied the Queen Mother when she was very young. Palace, and because the Queen Mother made this decision when she learned that Prince Yu and Fujin had passed away, she mentioned it to Qianlong.

Qianlong naturally responded positively to the queen mother's idea. Since the queen mother felt lonely and hoped to have a well-behaved and smart child by her side, how could he, a dutiful son, not agree?A decision was made immediately to let Qing'er enter the palace.

Qing Ting also echoed repeatedly, saying how good Qing'er is, but she was thinking in her heart: Think Si Gege is dead, the old man is lonely and can't let his granddaughter accompany him?But seeing the flashing expression on Concubine Chun's face, she was still very happy.She thought silently in her heart: Concubine Chun, I will settle the matter between you and Queen Nala back then.If you are sensible, let your daughter surrender to me and help me win over the Fucha family.

For Qing'er, Qing Ting is a little disgusted, she looks cute, and it is said that she is knowledgeable, but the "softness overcomes rigidity" made her sneer, can the empress dowager and empress watch the dance?A joke, the so-called explanation at this time is just for fun, I really think I am unique.If you say you are rebellious because you are young, it can be forgiven, but if you say that there is only Lafayette in your life, you are not grateful. Lafayette has a lot of things, so Lafayette treats her well, but he doesn't realize that her parents are dead. Lafayette takes pity on her and saves her from living with her concubine. The Buddha gave her shelter and glory, not that the Lafayette let her live alone like a green light, and it was not that the Lafayette was begging for nothing without her.

Qing Ting watched coldly, wanting to see if Qing Gege was as she thought, or if she could be saved.Qing'er has a lot of influence on Lafayette, if her influence can benefit her, that's the best, if not, she can't make Concubine Ling cheap.I vaguely remember that Qing'er spoke for Ling Fei very much.Qing Ting hummed softly in her heart, could it be that a mere "snowy night" has such great influence that even Lafayette, who has the great kindness of nurturing, can betray?If Qing'er still has that temperament and will betray, then Qing Ting will not show her disgust and indifference. After all, Lafayette likes her very much, there is no need to push her into the arms of the enemy, maybe she can still be herself for the time being Used.It doesn't matter if you like to fight against her, anyway, it is the empress dowager who she betrayed in the end, not to add to her heart.

"I heard that Qing Gege is getting smarter and smarter. This servant is really curious. I want to see Qing Gege sooner. In the future, Qing Gege will be surrounded by the empress dowager. I don't know what to expect." Ling Fei said softly, Say something that makes the queen mother feel comfortable, and at the right time, look at Qianlong affectionately.

Qing Ting said with a smile: "People who can fall into the eyes of Lafayette are naturally rare. I'm afraid that Lafayette will feel sorry for others, and he will feel pain in his arms. If you want to talk about knowing people, now in this palace, really no one

I am a little jealous of Qing Gege who can be compared to Huang Erniang, who is so loved by Huang Erniang. "Is it a good thing, who wouldn't say it, sometimes in the business field, when you meet unauthentic customers, you can't use your personality to quarrel with them. Businessmen are skilled at saving face.

The Empress Dowager was really pleased when she heard this, and said with a smile: "You guys are the only ones who can talk. The Empress also made fun of this old woman, why are you jealous? Is it possible that you still want to rely on me every day, dangling in front of my eyes, waiting for you?" Let me teach you? Such a good boy, it’s no wonder, don’t worry, the old lady will not hide a big living person, and I will let you all see it.”

Qing Ting covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled softly.In front of the empress dowager, I called myself "daughter-in-law" or "children", and I called myself "the emperor's mother". You can only call yourself "slave" and call yourself "the empress dowager".It is said that everyone is equal, but what they are talking about is theory, not reality. When the Republic of China was first established, it was called "equality", but is it equal?She has lived in modern society for more than 20 years, but people from well-to-do families have more than people from ordinary families. Is this considered equality?We all want equality, but the society can only say that it tries to provide an equal environment, rather than vowing to guarantee that it is equal to the point where it can no longer be equal.Deep down, many people are willing to be superior, especially in a hierarchical society.Concubine Ling's smiling expression is impeccable, but it does not mean that her heart is truly expressed on her face.

Qing Ting recalled that once, she said to her follower Hong Jiayu (nicknamed Red Turtle): "People need to survive first, no matter how harsh and dark the environment is, in order to survive, people will be more crazy and cruel than wild animals. But after surviving, people will Gaining pleasure from killing is something that beasts never had." Qing Ting looked at the people in front of her talking and laughing happily, but her heart was like a beast biting its prey, including her, without the slightest warmth, only thinking about how to calculate, how to get more Benefit.

But how can she have warmth and sincerity here?Qianlong didn't trust her enough, the empress dowager had complicated feelings for her, and the concubines in the harem were unpredictable.Qing Ting cast her eyes on Qianlong, with a gentle and enthusiastic attitude, dignified, virtuous and peaceful.What did Lu Buwei say, how much money can you make by selling an emperor?Probably because he has lived with Shihao for a long time, and he has become more and more businessman-like.In Qing Ting's heart, if Shihao is a bastard, Qianlong is worthless.Being a queen and having a son, but not being able to sit in that position means that the life of the queen's son will be worse than death.Qing Ting wants to survive, but not just survive.

Maybe it's because there is always a feeling of depression in her heart, Qing Ting always has a feeling of resentment, except for the children under her own name and a few cronies around her, other people can arouse her inner anger, but she is the one who endures it Long-term endurance is for the ultimate success, and she understands this truth better than anyone else.

The empress' gaze was noticed by Qianlong. Although he was not as good as the imperial concubine, he was still quite proud of it. This is the masculine charm, especially the existence of the masculine charm signed by Emperor Qianlong.

Qing Ting was thinking: the empress dowager's move is clearly aimed at Lan Xin

Sending it under his own name, did Qianlong know but pretended to be confused, or did he not think of this.

As for Concubine Chun, who was depressed because Si Gege was treated as a transparent person, besides maintaining a proper smile, she could only suppress all dissatisfaction in her heart.

In the end, Qing Ting smiled lightly and said, "Lafayette, my concubine Xin's delivery date is approaching, and my daughter-in-law is thinking, should I be spared the greetings these days? I don't know what Lafayette thinks?"

Lafayette would not disagree, and immediately said: "Exactly."

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Qing'er entered the palace much faster than Lan Xin. She had stayed by the Queen Mother's side before, and she still remembered the Queen Mother's preferences, and knew how to make the Queen Mother happy. Soon, the Queen Mother's love for her went up to a new level.

Qing Ting's attitude towards Qing'er is decent and loving from the perspective of others. She is observing to see if this Qing'er can only be used by her, or if she can give her some sincere love.

Qing Ting handled a few official duties, and brought Madam Rong and the maid to Lan Xin's room. Lan Xin was wearing a blue flag dress and silver ornaments that Qing Ting had prepared for her. When Qing Ting came, she quickly put down her pen and jumped off the kang to salute Qing Ting.

Qing Ting took Lan Xin's hand, sat on the warm kang, said with a smile: "When no outsiders are around, don't be so restrained." Qing Ting picked up the scriptures that Lan Xin had copied, looked at them, and nodded approvingly. "You have been in the palace for some time, are you used to living during this time?"

"Returning to the Queen's Mother, Lan'er lived a comfortable life in the palace because of the protection and love of Huang'er Niang and Huang'er Niang. This kindness and love will always be remembered by Lan'er."

Qing Ting said: "Lan'er is a kind and filial child, which makes the empress very pleased. There is no need to be like this between mother and daughter. Although I am not Lan'er's biological mother, I will use the love of a biological mother to love her child. Love you, and teach you in the same way that a biological mother teaches a child.” These words are not false, people can’t live in this world with only calculations and conspiracies, if there is no truth at all, then life will be very hard and painful.Since she also has sons and daughters in this life, she should take good care of them and teach them well. If it is not an accident, she must be teaching Yiqing and Jingmeng carefully now.

Because of the loneliness of life and the inescapable fate, the women in the harem are suspicious of each other and frame each other in order to show that they are better than others.Life is already difficult, so don't continue to add to the original burden.

For Lan Xin, she likes her simplicity and her attitude of judging the situation, but her simplicity makes her imagine the world too beautifully. Qing Ting doesn't want her to think that the world is completely filthy and dirty, but just hopes that she understands that the world is made of beauty. Composed together with ugliness, just like human beings, they are made up of good and evil. To admit one part and deny the other is just deception. Only by facing the two aspects squarely and understanding that the two cannot be truly distinguished can we truly understand ourselves and the world , live correctly, and thus find the true

happy.

Qing Ting looked at Lan Xin thoughtfully. "Although Lan'er has filial piety and has some taboos, she should also learn some necessary common sense during the filial piety. From tomorrow on, Lan'er will handle palace affairs with the palace. Mother Cui, Lan'er should have Yuan It belongs to the property of Prince Qi's mansion, so Nanny Cui should be helping to take care of those, right?" Nanny Cui has no doubts about Lan Xin's loyalty, but in the end she brought Bai Yinshuang into the palace, begging Lan Xin to save that Xibei guy She was also the person, and she probably lost her mind after being tormented, and she was also afraid that Lan Xin would bear the name of a widow.

Cui Nanny replied: "If you go back to the empress, it is the servant who will help Gege take care of it. The account books are all kept with the servant. If the empress wants to see it, the servant will go and get it."

Qing Ting stopped and said: "No need, I just want you to let Lan'er get in touch with these things more in the future. After all, you will manage these things in the future. You can't understand everything about how to manage a family in the future."

Lan Xin blushed and twisted her body uncomfortably, but Nanny Cui was a little happy and thanked the Queen for her thoughtfulness.

"Copying the scriptures for half a day, Lan'er should take a rest, let's give your twelfth brother a holiday, let's go, the three of us, mother, go outside for a walk."

The weather is cold, and the vegetation in the imperial garden has dried up except for the pines and cypresses. Fortunately, there are all kinds of plum blossoms, which is the time to appreciate them.Qing Ting took them out mainly to exercise their bodies and breathe some fresh air. In terms of health preservation, walking slowly is quite beneficial to the body.Qing Ting took Lan Xin and Yong Xing, and two dogs ran beside her. Nanny Rong supported Qing Ting's arm, and the maids and eunuchs followed closely behind.

"What conditions must water meet to be good water for making tea?" Qing Ting asked.

"Huangeriang, water that meets the five-character criteria of 'source, live, sweet, clear, and light' is good water." Yongzhen replied.

"In Lu Yu's "Tea Classic", 'Water should be above the mountains, on the rivers, and below the wells', do you understand what it means?"

"Back to Queen Mother, that is to say, the best water for making tea is mountain water, followed by river water and well water." Lan Xin replied.

"Lan Xin, there are several types of mountains and rivers, which one is the best?"

"Shanshui can be further divided into spring water, turbulent water and stagnant water flowing in valleys, among which spring water is the best."

Qing Ting nodded, and asked again: "Ming Dynasty Luo Lin said in "Tea Solution" that 'snow water is especially unsuitable, it will make the muscles burn'. Do you think it makes sense?"

Yongzhen thought for a while, and said, "When I returned to Huang Erniang, Lu Yu said that mountains and waters are the best. Can snow water become mountains and waters? Besides, Huang Ama didn't like to use snow water to make tea the most. If the snow water is not good, the emperor How could Ama use snow water to make tea?"

Qing Ting smiled lightly and said, "Yong Zhen is right. Mountains and waters do include snow water. Luo Lin didn't understand the mountains and waters mentioned in Lu Yu's "Tea Classic". It is also more rare, and it also has a deep meaning. You see, there are so many requirements for the water used to make tea. Drinking tea is not only for elegance, but also for

It is because drinking tea is of great benefit to the body. It can accumulate heat, reduce phlegm and lower qi, eliminate food and relieve boredom. If there is a misunderstanding, it will be a loss to your body, so you must pay attention to the knowledge in books. To understand correctly, we must also pay attention to observing life. The knowledge in books comes from life. "Qing Ting is very yearning to use spring water and snow water to make tea when there is no environmental pollution. As for the saying that snow water can make muscles burn, she agrees with the view of modern medicine that snow water is helpful for alleviating high blood pressure and lowering cholesterol levels. As for muscle loss, in fact, what Luo Lin said is not completely unreasonable, because snow water is cold, but because of diet and living habits, dignitaries are prone to body heat and affluence diseases, drinking snow water is actually beneficial, at least Aids in weight loss.

The two children nodded in agreement, and Lan Xin said: "Emperor Niang, in the palace, Lan'er often saw Er Niang collecting dew or snow water from pine branches and plum petals in winter to make tea for Ama. .”

"Really, then your mother must have collected the dew and snow water from the pine branches extending northward. Laner mentioned the dew. In fact, the dew on the tip of the herbs is also good water for making tea. So, drinking tea It’s really not an easy thing.”

"Queen Erniang is right. That's exactly what Erniang did. Erniang often said that drinking tea is not a simple matter." Thinking of the deceased Erniang, Lan Xin firmly remembered what Erniang once said However, many things in this world are not easy, so you have to think a lot, but when you decide to do something, if you want to complete it, you have to be pure and enthusiastic, simply discard unnecessary doubts and Concern, enthusiasm refers to the indispensable perseverance and motivation.Lan Xin suddenly realized something. She had always regarded Ama and Erniang's love for her as a memory, but she forgot the wisdom that Ama and Erniang left for her.She looked at Huang'er Niang, and felt that Huang'er Niang was also a wise woman, but she keenly felt that Huang Ama seldom came to Huang'er Niang, and she didn't seem to love Huang'er Niang very much. There are certain feelings.

Talking about small things with the children while walking, walking the dog by the way, without facing Qianlong's face that is not as good as Shihao's, this kind of life is not bad.Qing Ting thought.

But life is usually unsatisfactory, and she told everyone eloquently: "If everything goes as you want, then what surprises and fun are there in life?" □If a guy who is not a eunuch appears in the Royal Garden, he knows that life has once again proved that he is not much more reliable than a man.

"I respectfully wish the Queen's Mother the peace, and the Queen's Mother is auspicious."

"Chen Fuerkang..."

"Chenforte..."

Yongzhen and Lanxin also saluted Yongqi according to the rules.

Qing Ting's lips trembled slightly. Fu Erkang and Fu Ertai finally met the legendary Master Fu and Second Master Fu. If she remembers correctly, Yongzheng once issued a decree to prohibit the ministers of the court from calling themselves slaves, but these two , Enough to be qualified as a minister of the DPRK and China? "Five elder brothers, get up quickly, even though you stay indoors

It's very boring inside, but it's too cold to bear after coming out for a long time.Where are all the slaves around Brother Fifth, and I don't know how to prepare a hand stove. "

Yongqi hurriedly said: "Emperor Niang doesn't know something, it's my son who doesn't want them to serve you, I just come to the Imperial Garden with Er Kang Ertai to relax, I don't need them to serve you, please be lenient to me, Spare them."

Qing Ting didn't seem to say that he would punish the people around Yong Qi. Forget it, he can think whatever he likes, and now he still knows how to call her Queen's Mother, but when Little Swallow appeared, she was already called Queen.She glanced at Vulkang, who was just a third-class bodyguard, not to mention looking at the stars and the moon with Qinger Xueye, from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life, even if she was within three feet of Qinger, she was not qualified. "I didn't say that I would punish him. Since the fifth elder brother didn't want it, I have nothing to do with it."

Not in the mood anymore, and went home.Not long after returning to Kunning Palace, Nanny Rong came up to her and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Fifth took those two servants to Yanxi Palace."

People don't think of themselves as slaves. "Understood, don't make a fuss, those two are relatives of Concubine Ling and close friends of Fifth Elder Brother, let's leave it alone." Qing Ting closed her eyes, as a grass-mud horse galloped by in her heart.

"Your Majesty, it's against the rules for this grown-up elder brother to bring two outsiders into and out of the imperial garden. That guy is already crazy enough, even if he can't touch her, he should give her some flair."

"It's not in line with the rules if the emperor says no. It's not time to take care of it. Now I'm going to take care of it. In the end, I will complain." Qing Ting opened her eyes, and seeing Rong Rong's expression of hesitating to speak, she asked She asked, "Is there anything else, Nanny Rong?"

"Your Majesty, today is fifteen."

fifteen.The second grass mud horse roared past. "Tell them to make some preparations. The dinner is still the same. Don't blindly indulge in big fish and meat." In line with the concept of health preservation, Qing Ting resolutely refused to serve a table of meat, although she really wanted to stuff Qianlong with high-cholesterol food. Food, but Qianlong can live a long life even with big fish and meat, this trick doesn't work.

Desire for food, she once heard that if a person cannot overcome his desire for food, then it will be difficult for this person to overcome other desires in his heart, such as greed and narcissism.

The author has something to say: Now I understand why some people say that if you hate someone, you will swear that he will take an accounting exam.
