Chapter 3 Princess Return of the Pearl (Part 3)

My Fair Princess (Part 3)

Qianlong had a very comfortable time during this period. Since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, the Empress's temper had become much gentler, and her beloved sons and daughters had not had any problems. He also got a rare beauty named Xiang, and even government affairs seemed to be much easier.

In fact, how could Xiaoyanzi be so quiet? She was a moving disaster body, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't cause trouble for a day!

That day, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei went to the Yanxi Palace to beg Concubine Ling to let them go out of the palace to play, but they saw Concubine Ling's face was pale and she looked sick, and she was still having a fever.

Ziwei hurriedly ordered the imperial physician to be called, but Concubine Ling stopped her, saying that she didn't want to interfere, so as not to alarm the Empress Dowager and blame her for attracting attention. Xiaoyanzi cursed the "old witch" a few times, and went forward to care for Concubine Ling with Ziwei. They chatted for a while, and talked about Qianlong. Concubine Ling was sad. It turned out that Qianlong had not come to Yanxi Palace for a long time. Ziwei comforted Concubine Ling that she was indelible in Qianlong's heart. Concubine Ling took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes sadly, choking and said: "Ziwei, you don't understand yet, for any woman, the status of 'indelible' is not enough, what women need is the status of 'irreplaceable'!" [Note ①] Ziwei was shocked by the word 'irreplaceable', and thought of her mother who had waited for 18 years. She felt unbearable heartache and started crying. Xiaoyanzi couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out yelling, saying that she wanted to seek justice for Concubine Ling! Concubine Ling shouted anxiously a few times, "Come back soon! Don't go!" Seeing Ziwei chasing after her, she waved her hand to let the palace maids pack up the soup and other things for show, and wiped the tears from her face. This little swallow, if used well, is really a useful gun, charging into battle and being invincible. Thinking that she would definitely get the emperor's pity next, she couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Seeing this, a little girl with ordinary looks lowered her eyes and gently placed the snacks beside Concubine Ling. After a while, she saw Concubine Ling was going to lie down to rest after eating the snacks, so she took the remaining snacks and quietly retreated. The whole process was natural and extremely ordinary. Concubine Ling was very proud at the moment, and her personal maids rushed to flatter her, so naturally she didn't notice such a small matter.

Ziwei chased Xiaoyanzi into Baoyue Tower, just in time to see Hanxiang's cold and noble, unwilling to sleep with Qianlong, which angered Qianlong. Xiaoyanzi was also a tactless person. She ignored the eunuchs and maids around her and shouted angrily as soon as she entered the room: "Father, are you worthy of Concubine Ling? This Jiang Princess is not as good as Concubine Ling except for her pretty face! You always taught me to be sincere and responsible, but is it all nonsense?" Qianlong was very angry about Hanxiang's matter. Xiaoyanzi barged into Baoyue Tower without waiting for the announcement, which made him furious. After hearing Xiaoyanzi's accusations, he could no longer hold back his anger. He smashed the cup and shouted: "How dare you! This This is the residence of the concubines. Is it a place you can break in at will? And what you said! Are you blaming me? Huh? Are you crazy? "

Xiaoyanzi stared at Qianlong stubbornly and shouted regardless: "I'm not crazy! I just saw injustice and couldn't stand it! I can't say four words, but I have learned a lot of great principles. Empress Lingfei was sick, but you didn't see her or care about her. You just accompanied this ginger princess. You betrayed Empress Lingfei and you were unfaithful to her!"

When had Qianlong ever been accused like this? His hands were shaking with anger. Besides, the guards had already found out that Xiaoyanzi was actually the daughter of a criminal. He had kept it a secret because he loved Xiaoyanzi. Now Xiaoyanzi dared to point at his nose and scold him! In an instant, Qianlong felt furious and slapped Xiaoyanzi in the face.

Several people were shocked by the slap. After a moment of silence, Xiaoyanzi covered her face with one hand, stared at Qianlong with wide eyes, and murmured: "You hit me...you hit me..." Then she shook her head in disbelief and ran out.

"Father, Xiaoyanzi and I have always admired you and worshipped you. Whenever you defended us, I felt so touched! But now, you..." Ziwei choked and couldn't say anything. Tears fell and she ran away sadly.

Qianlong looked back at Hanxiang, and the anger in his eyes scared Hanxiang so much that she took a few steps back. Qianlong narrowed his eyes and said: "My patience is limited. Don't think that I will indulge you indefinitely! Humph!" After that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Hanxiang sitting on the ground at a loss.

After Xiaoyanzi left Baoyue Tower, she ran to Jingyang Palace angrily and shouted to Yongqi that she didn't want to be a princess anymore. She wanted to leave the palace and break up with Yongqi. Yongqi was shocked. After coaxing her, she wanted Yongqi to leave this ruthless palace with her and wander around the world. Yongqi didn't agree. He hugged her and comforted her gently. When Xiaoyanzi calmed down, he looked at his beloved woman leaning on his arms with a rosy face, and couldn't help kissing her.

In the brain-dead drama, whenever there is an emotional out-of-control and unsolvable problem, it will develop into an intimate scene. How could the queen mother miss this opportunity? She had someone watching them long ago. When she heard that Xiaoyanzi ran to Jingyang Palace, the queen mother took the queen and a group of trusted servants to Jingyang Palace. She asked the guards to hold the servants guarding the door and kick open the door. Sure enough, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi were hugging each other and kissing intoxicatedly, tenderly and affectionately, with a blurred look.

The guards were at the front and were the most shocked. They were all speechless. They knew that the Queen Mother was here to catch them, but they didn't expect to see such a passionate scene. The Fifth Prince's hand was even on Princess Huanzhu's chest!

The guards and servants all lowered their heads. The queen was so angry that she could not speak and pointed at them with a trembling finger. The fifth elder brother was startled by the sound of the door being kicked. When he realized what he was doing, his face instantly turned pale, and he dragged Xiao Yanzi to his knees.

Although Xiao Yanzi was used to shouting and didn't understand the rules, she still knew something was wrong when so many people caught her and Yong Qi being intimate. Seeing that Yong Qi's face was not good, she didn't dare to say anything, so she just kept her words. Kneeling, eyes darting around.

The Jingyang Palace was extremely quiet for a while. The Queen Mother was the calmest of all the people present. She stared at Yong Qi with a stern face, making Yong Qi break into a cold sweat, and then ordered two guards to gagged Xiao Yanzi and take her to the darkroom of Cining Palace. Seeing Yongqi trying to stop him, he shouted: "Yongqi, don't challenge the Ai family's bottom line. If you don't repent, the Ai family will let Xiao Yanzi have a taste of what it means to have one's head or one's life! You can give it a try! "After saying that, she glanced at Nanny Gui vaguely. Nanny Gui nodded and quietly left with the guards.

Yong Qi was shocked and didn't dare to make any more moves. She could only watch Xiao Yanzi being dragged away.

The Queen Mother issued a hush-hush order to those present, Yongqi was banned from entering Jingyang Palace, and sent someone to invite Qianlong to Cining Palace.

When Qianlong received the news, he was visiting his concubine in Yanxi Palace. Her concubine was asleep on the bed, her face was very pale, and she looked really pitiful against her big belly. Qianlong quickly informed the imperial doctor. After examining his pulse, the imperial doctor said that it was caused by depression in the heart and excessive thoughts. As long as you pay more attention to this aspect and take supplements for a period of time, you can be cured. However, if you worry too much and the knot is not clear, It may affect the unborn baby.

Qianlong originally felt pity for his concubine, but after listening to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, the disease was entirely caused by her own thoughts! Why are you depressed and overthinking? Isn't it because Han Xiang entered the palace recently and didn't come to see her? He is so jealous and doesn't care about the child in his belly at all. Could it be that his past virtuous and generous behavior was just an act? It is simply unreasonable to let Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei accuse him of being unfaithful. Qianlong mentally gave up the idea of ​​making his concubine a noble concubine.

At this time, the young eunuch from Cining Palace asked to see him, saying that the Queen Mother had invited the emperor to come to Cining Palace to discuss something. Qianlong immediately stood up and left. Dongxue Lamei saw that her previous plan had failed and that her concubine was unconscious for some reason. After listening to the doctor's words, she didn't know what was wrong. She was so anxious that she couldn't do anything. She could only secretly pray that her concubine would wake up soon.

The imperial doctor came out of Yanxi Palace, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, and thought to himself, the layout of the harem is about to change.

When Qianlong arrived at Cining Palace, he saw that the empress was there, and he no longer had the resentment he had before. The empress had become a lot more virtuous recently, and her loyal words no longer offended her ears. Instead, she became more and more filial and virtuous, which made him very satisfied. After meeting the Queen Mother, he sat down at the kang table and drank tea. When he found out why the Queen Mother was looking for him, Qianlong immediately threw the cup and his face turned blue and white. Fortunately, he felt uncomfortable beating Xiao Yanzi, but Xiao Yanzi turned around and ran to have sex with Yong Qi.

Qianlong himself could have a daughter out of wedlock with Xia Yuhe, but he could not allow the princess of the royal family to be so imprudent. If this spread, all the married and unmarried princesses would suffer, and the royal family would be ridiculed by the world!

Then I thought about the fact that when Yongqi and Fulkang went to Shufangzhai, the doors and windows were always closed, and all the servants were waiting in the yard. The queen made a few remarks about it being against the rules, but she was blocked by him. I didn't think about this in the past. Even if I knew they were in a good relationship, I just thought it was out of love and politeness. Now it seems that they may have broken the rules a long time ago!

Once the seeds of doubt were planted, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. Qianlong immediately asked Xuan Ziwei to go to Cining Palace, and asked the Queen Mother to send a confidant to check whether they were innocent. For women, this is an extremely slap in the face and extremely humiliating, but now no one sympathizes with them, and no one will speak for them.

As soon as Ziwei arrived at Cining Palace, she was taken to the dark room for examination together with Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi was already unconscious. The two nuns were both strong and easily subdued Ziwei. Fortunately, they were still intact. Let Qianlong's anger ease slightly.

Qianlong calmed down and looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Empress, my son has a lot of government affairs these days. I forgot to mention that Xiao Yanzi's life experience has been investigated clearly. She is Fang Zhihangzhi who was executed for writing. Female, she also has an older brother who was separated from her when she was young. According to her son, Xiao Yanzi doesn’t seem to know her own life experience. "

The queen stiffened when she heard this, and quickly covered her mouth with a veil. At the same time, she also covered up the harsh words of advice that came to her lips. She sat up straight and looked at Qianlong worriedly. Now Twelve is lucky enough that the Queen Mother values ​​secret teachings. She is not smart enough and does not have any clever means to help her. She can only control her temper and not hold Twelve back, and sit peacefully in the queen's seat.

The Queen Mother noticed the Queen's movements and was very satisfied with the results of her training. She patted Qianlong's hand and said: "My son, please don't underestimate women. Since ancient times, most palace spies are women. It doesn't matter whether Xiao Yanzi knows about his life experience or not." We can't leave her alone. It was against the law to execute her when she escaped."

Although Qianlong had a bad impression of Xiao Yanzi, after all, he was the daughter he had pampered for so long. He really couldn't bear to execute her, so he begged the Queen Mother for mercy, hoping that the Queen Mother would be lenient. He also said that he had just learned the truth. When it came to pretending to be a princess, the fifth elder brother was afraid that Xiao Yanzi would be in danger and said that he could not live without Xiao Yanzi.

[Ling Fei was very touched, and looked at Ziwei with moist eyes, and said earnestly: "Ziwei, you are such a considerate and kind person. You understand me so well, and your few words touched my heart. However, for any woman, the status of 'indelible' is not enough, what a woman needs is the status of 'irreplaceable'!"]
