Chapter 54
A navy soldier wearing a navy blue uniform came over upon hearing the sound, holding a hairpin and a letter in his hands, and respectfully handed it to Li Qingge. The hairpin was exquisitely made, and its wings were light, as if it could fly away at any time, which brought back endless memories of her past.
Li Qingge was about to open the letter when Su Xiaomei hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her nervously: "Your Majesty, be careful, the letter may be poisonous." There was a bit of anxiety in her voice, obviously she was not happy with this sudden news. The letter was guarded.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, with a bit of confidence and calmness in that smile: "I am immune to all poisons. Even if it is poisonous, it cannot hurt a hair on my head." After saying that, she gently opened the envelope, The paper inside is yellowed, the handwriting is rough, and there is an unruly atmosphere.
As the reading progressed, Li Qingge's face gradually became serious, and finally he turned blue with anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "Jin Aicai, this beast, even sold his own niece, and now he is harming himself. My sister is really a beast in human skin!" Her voice was full of anger and pain, and she was obviously shocked and angry at the content of the letter.
Seeing her like this, Amelia Su was so frightened that she quickly asked what was going on. Li Qingge didn't answer. He just took a deep breath and blew the letter into ashes. She turned to the naval soldier and said: "Tell the envoy of the Qing court that I will definitely abide by the agreement, but before I do it, if my aunt has any trouble, I will definitely destroy the Aixinjueluo family!" Her voice was cold. And firm, revealing an unquestionable strength.
As soon as Su Xiaomei heard the word "aunt", she understood the Qing court's plan. They must have wanted to use their aunt to threaten His Majesty and put her in a dilemma. She looked at Li Qingge worriedly, but saw that her face was calm and her eyes were shining with determination.
"Your Majesty, the Qing court is using your aunt as bait to put you in danger. What should we do?" Su Xiaomei's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Li Qingge sneered, with a bit of ridicule and disdain in his smile: "That old guy Qianlong invited me to the capital, so I will go and meet him. I want to see what he is capable of! "Her voice was full of confidence and arrogance, and she was obviously not afraid of the Qing court's threat.
When Su Xiaomei heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is the Hongmen Banquet. You are the backbone of the country, how can you take risks so easily?" Her voice was full of emotion. Worry and dissuade.
Li Qingge said firmly: "I originally wanted to go north, but they brought it to my door, just in time! As for the Hongmen Banquet..." A cold light flashed in her eyes, "My country in the Great Flame, but from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood What am I afraid of?" Her voice was full of determination and determination, and she was obviously ready to face any challenge.
Li Qingge not only inherited this body, but also inherited the kindness of the original owner. In her memory, the kindness of her biological parents is of course as important as Mount Tai, but the kindness of raising her cannot be forgotten even more. Her adoptive parents were very kind to her, and her aunt loved her like her mother and gave her endless care and warmth. After her adoptive parents passed away, it was her aunt who took care of the housework, allowing her to grow up in peace.
Now that my aunt is in trouble, how can she stand by and watch? This kindness was like a heavy shackle that she couldn't let go of. She must do her best to save her aunt, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she is not afraid.
Qianlong’s invitation was obviously not well intentioned. But Li Qingge was not afraid at all. When she first came to this world, she integrated Jiang Yuyan's cultivation and became invincible in the world. Later, she absorbed the lama's skills, and the system helped her complete the skills. Now, her strength is beyond the limit, and no one can be her opponent. Even if she goes to the banquet alone, no one can keep her.
Su Xiaomei looked at Li Qingge's determined expression. Although she was worried, she also knew that she could not dissuade him. She could only pray silently, hoping that His Majesty would return safely.
"Although your Majesty has great martial arts skills, you still have to be careful." Amelia Su's voice was full of concern and advice.
Li Qingge waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know this is a conspiracy. But in the face of absolute strength, tricks are in vain. Send an order to Zhang Shengnan, asking her to stand by with the artillery regiment in the north. If the Qing army dares to move, fire immediately!" Her voice was full of confidence and calmness, as if everything was under her control.
After hearing her words, Amelia Su suddenly realized. She knows that strength is the most important thing, and conspiracy and conspiracy are nothing in the face of strength. Qianlong did not dare to use the country and the people to test his aunt's status in His Majesty's heart, because although this situation seemed dangerous, it was actually under His Majesty's control.
As Li Qingge expected, how could Qianlong really dare to threaten his aunt with her life? In the eyes of the emperor, family affection is as thin as water. Qianlong invited her because he actually wanted to get a feel for her and conquer her with his charm. But this kind of delusion was not only shared by Qianlong, but also by Daoguang.
Think back then, during the Daoguang period, the Qing court was already in decline. The West was undergoing an industrial revolution, but the Qing government was complacent and unwilling to make progress. After the failure of the Opium War, Daoguang did not think about how to revitalize the country. Instead, he wanted to marry the Queen of England as his concubine to quell the war. Little did he know that this queen was Victoria, the grandmother of Europe, and Britain reached its peak under her rule.
The delusions of Qianlong and Daoguang are really laughable. They think that with their power and status, they can manipulate others at will, but they don't know that in front of the real strong people, they are just clowns.
Li Qingge sneered in his heart and didn't take Qianlong's invitation seriously. She knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but she also knew that this was a good opportunity to show her strength. She wanted Qianlong to know that she, Li Qingge, was not that easy to bully!
So, she decided to go to the appointment in person to meet the pretentious Emperor Qianlong for a while. She wants the Qing court to know that Dayan's power is not so easy to shake! At the same time, she will also take this opportunity to find traces of her aunt and rescue her from the predicament.
On the way to the appointment, Li Qingge was full of expectation and determination. She knew that the journey to the appointment was full of unknowns and dangers, but she believed in her own strength and wisdom. She believes that as long as she has enough strength and wisdom, she will be able to resolve this crisis and save her aunt from the fire and water.
The capital, a prosperous place full of political struggles, is both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Qingge. She had spent an unforgettable time here, but at that time she was just an ordinary noble woman, but now she is the king of a country.
She rode a horse, wore a gorgeous royal robe, followed by a team of elite guards, and entered the capital in a mighty manner. The people along the way stopped to watch and talked a lot. They had never seen such a mighty and domineering female emperor, and their hearts were filled with awe and curiosity.
Li Qingge and his party went directly to the palace prepared by Qianlong for her. The palace is luxuriously decorated and magnificent, but it has a sinister atmosphere. She knew that this would be the place where she and Qianlong would compete.
Qianlong had been waiting in the palace for a long time. Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he looked majestic. However, in Li Qingge's view, he was just an emperor in appearance.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" As the guard announced loudly, Li Qingge slowly walked into the hall. Her eyes were burning, scanning everyone present. Her momentum was like a rainbow, making everyone present feel a strong pressure.
When Qianlong saw this, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He had never seen such an imposing woman, and he couldn't help but feel a little wary of her. However, he didn't want to give up on his plan. He decided to use his charm to conquer the empress and make her his ally.
So, he greeted him with a smile and said hypocritically: "Your Majesty, welcome to the capital! I have specially prepared this feast for you. I hope you like it." His voice was full of hypocrisy and politeness.
Li Qingge sneered and said unceremoniously: "Emperor Qianlong, you invited me here, not just for a meal, right? If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!" Her voice was cold. And the determination made Qianlong stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Qianlong knew that he could no longer deal with it with polite words. So, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I know that you have deep feelings for Dayan's country. However, now that Dayan has been in decline, only by joining forces with the Qing court can we jointly resist foreign enemies and preserve our country. "His voice was full of temptation and threat.
Hearing this, Li Qingge sneered in his heart. She knew Qianlong's intentions, but she didn't want to join forces with him. So, she responded unceremoniously: "Emperor Qianlong, do you think I am a three-year-old child? I have seen through your intentions long ago! We will protect my country in Dayan by ourselves, and we don't need your help!" Her voice was firm and powerful, and Qianlong couldn't help but be moved by it.
When Qianlong saw this, he knew that he could not persuade Li Qingge. So, he showed a ferocious face and threatened: "Your Majesty, you have to think clearly! If you don't join forces with me, your aunt will be in danger!" His voice was full of viciousness and viciousness.
When Li Qingge heard this, he was filled with anger. She knew she couldn't get angry easily, but she couldn't stand Qianlong's threats either. So, she took a deep breath and said with a sneer: "Emperor Qianlong, do you think I will be afraid of your threat? Let me tell you, I, Li Qingge, am not that easy to bully!"
Emperor Qianlong, then The Supreme Being sitting on the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City, his narcissism, self-esteem, and arrogance are as hot and dazzling as the sunshine on a summer afternoon. Compared with the previous Emperor Sun Daoguang, he is a bit more arrogant. . In his heart, the Great Yan Dynasty was the glory created by him and a symbol of his supreme authority. However, under his seemingly indestructible rule, an unprecedented wind of change was quietly rising, and Li Qingge, This woman who is about to rewrite history is at the core of this force.
Qianlong's fantasy, like the gorgeous bubbles in spring, originated from an encounter in the west mountain paddock. The West Mountain Paddock, that vast hunting ground, is not only a stage for the royal family to show off its force, but also a whirlpool of intertwined fates. That day, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and shone on the lush forest. During an inadvertent hunt, the fifth elder brother Yongqi, the gentle and elegant prince, missed the target and accidentally hit an accidental man. The woman who entered the forbidden area——Xiao Yanzi.
Little Yanzi, a woman with an ordinary name but an extraordinary destiny, whispered in a weak voice before she fell into coma: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?" This sentence is like traveling through time and space. The strong wind gently blew through Qianlong's inner lake, setting off long-lost ripples. Qianlong was stunned, and the door of memory was suddenly pushed open. The romantic past nineteen years ago, which was almost covered by the dust of the years, came in like a tide.
It was a spring afternoon. Qianlong paid a private visit to the south of the Yangtze River incognito and met the gentle Xia Yuhe. That night, the moonlight was bright and the fragrance of flowers was astonishing. The meeting between the two seemed to be destined. Xia Yuhe's tenderness made Qianlong intoxicated. After a night of pleasure, there was a long separation. However, a new life was born in Xia Yuhe's belly. She waited infatuatedly, looking forward to the day when she could see the emperor who made her heart beat again.
Qianlong recalled these, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart. He felt as if he was the god who controlled everything. Every woman fell for him. Xia Yuhe's infatuation made him feel infinitely charming. So, when Xiao Yanzi woke up, due to a misunderstanding, Qianlong recognized her as his daughter without hesitation, and doted on her, as if to make up for his debt to Xia Yuhe, and to declare to the world that his charm was enough to make anyone Women are crazy about him.
In the harem, the concubines were jealous of Xiao Yanzi's favor, especially the queen. She couldn't understand why Qianlong was so partial to this woman who suddenly appeared. She didn't know that Qianlong's preference was not only out of love for Xiao Yanzi, but also a recollection of his romantic past and an affirmation of his masculine charm.
And Li Qingge, the woman who is about to enter Beijing, knows nothing about Qianlong's fantasy. She was standing in front of the window of Baixiang Tower, looking out at the bustling market, but her heart was filled with silence. Rumors spread that she was "open for business", and these rumors were like sharp blades, cutting into her heart. But she knew that she couldn't be swayed by this because she had more important things to do.
She has four firm goals in her heart: first, to rescue her imprisoned aunt and let her see the light of day again; second, to avenge her parents, move their tombs to a geomantic treasure land, and rebury them. , to comfort their spirits in heaven; 3. It is to visit his mother Nala, the woman who lost power in the court struggle, and to get rid of the bad guy Jin Aicai who oppressed the people; fourth, and most importantly, it is to unify the land of China and let the people on this land. Able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Just as Li Qingge was preparing to set off, bad news came from Taiyue. Niu Hulu, the woman who had always felt guilty about Taiyue, did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire a litigator named Zhang Wei in order to save him. Zhang Wei, this man, is as cunning as a fox, good at exploiting loopholes in the law, and often commutes the sentences of the powerful and acquits them. He carefully studied Taiyue's case, found out the loopholes, and asked Taiyue to retract his confession and claim that he had never married a wife.
Faced with this sudden change, the Yangzhou prefect was helpless and had to follow legal procedures to find evidence. However, due to the asynchronous marriage information, evidence collection work is like finding a needle in a haystack, with little hope. Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei used the principle of "no doubt of guilt" to force the prefect to let Taiyue go. This move greatly dissatisfied Liu Yun'er, who had been paying attention to the case. She filed another complaint, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Liu Yong, the minister who had always supported Li Qingge, faced this dilemma and had no choice but to turn to her for help. After hearing this, Li Qingge was furious. She knew very well that Taiyue had a special status and must have had a conspiracy to sneak into Dayan. It was not unfair at all to convict him of espionage. As for Liu Yun'er, although he is also a pitiful person, since he participated in this matter, he cannot be leniently spared. So she sentenced Taiyue to ten years for espionage, and Liu Yuner to seven years as an accessory.
Tai Yue and Liu Yun'er, once allies, have now entered prison together and are undergoing modern transformation. Zhang Wei's calculation was wrong, and his reputation plummeted and he became a laughing stock in the streets.
After handling these matters, Li Qingge selected a hundred elite white horse troops and embarked on the journey to the capital with Su Xiaomei, Yang Tianxiong and other right-hand assistants. The Hongmen Banquet, the feast that is about to be staged in the capital, will be the stage for her to show off her strength and realize her ideals. And will Qianlong, the arrogant emperor, see her true light at this feast and change his view of her? Everything will be slowly revealed in the days to come.
Su Xiaomei, a girl with delicate thoughts and autumn water in her eyes, walks in every corner of the Forbidden City and can always capture subtle movements that are difficult to detect. Her figure is as light as a willow catkin and shuttles between the palace walls. Whether it is the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the last touch of moonlight at night, nothing can escape her keen perception. With her assisting Li Qingge, even those cunning and fox-like tricks in the Qing court were like children's pranks and not something to be afraid of.
Yang Tianxiong, the little naughty boy he met by chance in the flames of war, has now grown into a heroic young man. His mind seems to be full of fantastic ideas, and he can always tinker with some jaw-dropping mechanical gadgets. Although sometimes his inventions make people laugh or cry, such as that time when the pond in the Royal Garden almost turned into a testing ground for steam engines, he himself enjoyed it, and his pure love and persistence made people moved.
Recently, he has a new masterpiece - a pair of shoes that can launch hidden weapons. This pair of shoes is cleverly designed. The mechanism is hidden in the sole. With just a light step, it can launch sharp hidden weapons, making it difficult to guard against. After Li Qingge gave it a try, he said he was very satisfied, his eyes sparkling with surprise and appreciation. She imagined that one day in the future, these shoes might be able to save her life at a critical moment and make her more comfortable in the crisis-ridden palace.
On this day, Amelia Su came in a hurry, with a bit of anxiety on her face. She was wearing an elegant blue palace dress, with a simple hosta in her bun. She walked briskly but could not hide the panic in her heart. She came to Li Qingge, saluted respectfully, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, some rumors that are unfavorable to Your Majesty have begun to spread in the north."
Li Qingge was sitting on a unique pumpkin-shaped sofa, The sofa is wrapped in fine satin, soft and comfortable. She leisurely fiddled with the emerald bracelet in her hand. The bracelet was green all over, like a spring leaf, with a faint luster. When she heard this, she just smiled faintly and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of about rumors. Most of them are related to Baixianglou."
Su Xiaomei was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Qingge already had After hearing what I heard, I couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty already knows?"
Li Qingge shook his head, a hint of depth flashed in his eyes: "I don't know the details, but I can guess pretty much."
"Guess?" Su Xiaomei was a little confused, she didn't understand why Li Qingge To be so sure.
Li Qingge chuckled and explained: "Think about it, women always have a bad reputation when they are in power. Just like Empress Lu and Wu Zetian in history, they made people into pigs and forced their sons to marry outside Granddaughter; another infanticide, forcing Xianchen to commit suicide. Even Liu E, who was not a big evil, was falsely accused of killing his mother and taking away his son. I received a letter from Qianlong and knew that Jin Aicai had rebelled. I expected that they would use this. to discredit Me."
Su Xiaomei sighed, with a look of indignation in her eyes: "It's so shameless!"
Li Qingge continued: "Rumors, it kills people without showing blood, and everyone is talking about it. The most vicious thing is that they will make up rumors to destroy people's reputation. They will definitely make a big deal about it and reduce me to a prostitute."
Su Xiaomei said angrily: "This strategy is too vicious! Qianlong is also the emperor, how could he use such means?" Li Qingge smiled faintly and said: "Maybe he didn't do it himself. Qianlong regarded himself as wise and powerful, and would not use such dirty tricks. Abuse. I guess this strategy was devised by He Shen. , he was good at pleasing his boss and would do anything to please Qianlong. I heard that he even pretended to be Concubine Yang and sang for Qianlong. He did everything he could. ”
< br>Sure enough, He Shen was responsible for this. The reason why He Shen gained power in both the government and the public was entirely due to Qianlong's favor. He knew Qianlong's temper and preferences well, and could always cater to his liking, making his position in the court as stable as Mount Tai. However, the rise of Li Qingge made him feel an unprecedented threat. Li Qingge implemented the New Deal and deprived He Shen of many benefits, which made him resentful and wanted to use rumors to retaliate against her and at the same time express his loyalty to Qianlong.
Su Xiaomei said worriedly: "Heshen is so treacherous and sinister, and the Qing court is corrupt. Rumors have spread to the north and will soon spread to the south. Your Majesty is the face of Dayan. We have to think of a countermeasure."
Li Qingge, however, looked extremely calm. She ate grapes and said leisurely: "There is no need to deal with it. It is Qianlong who has a headache, not me."
Amelia Su was even more confused. She looked at Li Qingge in confusion, waiting for her explanation.
Li Qingge chuckled lightly and explained: "The Qing court has always strictly controlled thoughts, and literary inquisitions occurred frequently. Rumors about me have been circulating for a long time. Ever since I revolted, the Qing court has been targeting me Demonized. They scolded me for being promiscuous and immoral, and I also scolded them for being a biting dog and not barking. The harsher they scolded me, the weaker they were. They were just incompetent and angry. If we argue with them, it will make us look stingy."
After hearing this, Su Xiaomei suddenly became enlightened. She nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is right, if they had the ability, they would have done it long ago. It’s all over. It’s just because I have no other choice that I use these insults to vent my anger.”
Li Qingge chuckled, her eyes shining with confidence and wisdom. She continued: "Besides, now that super rice is well promoted, the textile industry is also prosperous, and the people are well fed and clothed, they all treat me like a Bodhisattva and sage. Even if they know that I have stayed in Baixiang Tower, they still don't know. You will think that I am like a lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unsullied.”
Actually, Li Qingge still has a secret he didn’t reveal: she is Qianlong’s daughter. This secret is like a time bomb buried in her heart. When the truth comes out in the future, today's rumors will definitely backfire on Qianlong and his Aixinjueluo family. Qianlong loves face so much, how could he accept such humiliation? He Shen will definitely not be able to escape the disaster by then. So Li Qingge waited quietly to see how He Shen would suffer the consequences.
...
Time flies by like a flash, and in a blink of an eye, the news that Queen Dayan is coming to Beijing to pay homage to Qianlong spread throughout the capital. This news was like thunder on the ground, which stunned the princes, ministers, and people of Li. They didn't understand what Qianlong meant, let alone why Li Qingge suddenly appeared in the capital.
Over the years, Li Qingge has long become a ghost-like existence in the minds of the people in the capital. Just mentioning her name makes people tremble with fear, as if she is a demon crawling out of hell, ready to take people's lives at any time. Therefore, when they heard the news that she was coming to the capital, people started talking and speculating about her intention and purpose.
There was a lot of discussion between the government and the public, and the harem was not peaceful either. The female relatives in the harem were frightened to death when they heard Queen Dayan's name. Although they live in a deep palace, they have already heard the rumors about Li Qingge. Those deliberately distorted rumors made them regard her as a more powerful devil than Empress Lu and Wu Zetian. Therefore, when they heard the news that she was coming to the capital, they were even more frightened. Even the concubines restrained themselves and did not dare to cause trouble easily.
Qianlong was extremely angry because of Li Qingge's "oath to swear less". He did not expect that his daughter would betray him, nor did he expect that she would become the queen of Dayan. However, facing Dayan's military prowess, he did not dare to act rashly. He knew that once he angered Li Qingge, the consequences would be disastrous.
So, there was another turmoil inside and outside the capital. People were quietly waiting for the development of the situation, speculating on what changes Li Qingge's arrival would bring. What they don't know is what kind of secrets and conspiracies are hidden behind this storm. And how will Li Qingge, a woman surrounded by rumors, stand out in this storm and show her wisdom and courage?
If we fight head-on, we will definitely not gain anything. Li Qingge knew in her heart that this meeting was not only a confrontation between the two countries, but also a silent war between her and Qianlong. She must proceed cautiously and step by step.
The only way is to meet the green-faced girl first and feel out her details. This green-faced woman is said to be a celebrity around Qianlong, with strong martial arts skills and mysteriousness. Li Qingge knew that only by understanding her could he find a breakthrough and put them down in one fell swoop.
She stood in front of the window, looking at the southern sky, thinking secretly in her heart. The southern territory is changing with each passing day. Ancient buildings and modern civilization complement each other, showing a prosperous scene. But in the north, it still sticks to the ancient customs, as if time has stopped there.
The meeting between Li Qingge, Queen Mingde of Dayan, and Emperor Qianlong was finally scheduled for the tenth day of October. This day seems destined to become a turning point in history.
Because of the long distance, Li Qingge set off several days in advance. She led a group of people through thousands of mountains and rivers and headed north. The autumn colors in the south are thick, with golden rice fields and fiery red maple leaves forming beautiful pictures. They were walking while admiring the scenery, just like modern people traveling by car, which had a unique flavor.
Their state was not as if they were going to the Hongmen Banquet, but as relaxed as if they were visiting the ancient city. Li Qingge knew that although this meeting was full of dangers, she could not show any nervousness. She wanted Qianlong to see how calm and confident the Queen of Dayan was.
Qianlong had mixed feelings when he heard that Li Qingge was coming. He wanted to frustrate her spirit, but he also didn't want to lose the dignity of a great nation. So, he called his beloved son Yongqi, the fifth elder brother, to the Yangxin Hall.
"Yongqi, I called you here today because I have a big thing to entrust to you." Qianlong said seriously.
"My son, I obey the order." Yongqi replied respectfully. Seeing that Qianlong valued him so highly, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"In two days, Queen Mingde of Dayan will arrive in the capital. I ask you to lead troops to the outskirts of the capital to greet her. That green-faced woman is very skilled in martial arts, and her subordinates are also brave people. She doesn't need your protection, so you can Bring some ceremonial soldiers to show respect. It doesn't matter whether the soldiers are brave or timid. The key is to be energetic, strong and powerful. Can we do it if we don't let the Qing Dynasty lose its prestige? .
Yong Qi took the order and left, secretly thinking about how to welcome the Queen of Great Yan. He knew that this meeting was not only about the face of the two countries, but also about his personal future and destiny.
The next day, Li Qingge arrived in the capital. She rode a horse and led a large group of people into the ancient city. The prosperity and hustle and bustle of the capital formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility and determination in her heart.
Yong Qi followed Qianlong's instructions and took the soldiers and honor guard to the Changting on the outskirts of Beijing to wait. On both sides of the pavilion, the cold wind blew, making people tremble in their hearts. However, Yongqi stood still, like an indestructible monument.
The two brothers from the Fu family, Fulkan and Fuerte, also came with them. They wore gorgeous clothes, but they could not hide their inner anxiety and curiosity. They had heard of Li Qingge's reputation, but they had never seen her true face. Today, they finally had a chance to see the Queen of Great Flame.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Forte shrank his neck and said: "This female devil is indeed worthy of her reputation. She is so murderous that even the sky changes." There was a bit of ridicule and fear in his words.
The ministers behind Yong Qi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. They knew that this meeting would be a difficult contest. However, they are willing to follow Yongqi and meet this challenge together.
After waiting in the cold wind for so long, Fulkan became impatient: "When will she come? It's not a problem to just wait..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a distant sound. The sound of horse hooves was thundering everywhere, and the earth seemed to be shaking.
Yong Qi perked up and took a closer look. He saw hundreds of horses galloping towards him. The leader was wearing a vermilion dragon robe and a bronze mask on his face. He was slim but tall. She was like a burning flame, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire pavilion.
The people behind her were all wearing bloody battle robes, and the smell of blood and evil was as strong as a mountain collapsing. Although they don't look very fast, they are actually rushing towards you, making people breathless. The momentum was majestic, like thousands of troops galloping.
Under this momentum, Yong Qi and other Qing army officials and soldiers felt as if they were in a bloody battlefield. They secretly exclaimed: Is this the Queen of Dayan? She actually has such a strong aura and coercion!
“The murderous intent is so strong!” A soldier couldn’t help but sigh.
“I have long heard that Queen Dayan is brave and unparalleled. When I saw her today, she truly lived up to her reputation!” Another soldier also agreed.
“This kind of murderous aura is not something that comes from training. It must come from experiencing bloody battles.” A minister said solemnly.
Yong Qi and others were shocked by this evil spirit. They knew that this meeting would be an unprecedented challenge. However, they were willing to face the difficulties and fight for the face and glory of the Qing Dynasty.
By the time they reacted, Li Qingge was already in front of them. She looked at Yong Qi calmly and asked calmly, "Which Qianlong's son are you?" Although her voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Yong Qi cupped his fists and saluted: "I am the fifth elder brother Yong Qi, who has met Queen Yan!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if he wanted to prove his determination and courage.
"Yongqi?" Li Qingge muttered his name, his tone still indifferent. However, she was thinking secretly in her heart: This fifth elder brother seemed different from the one in the legend. He has an indescribable temperament and charm that makes people want to look at him more.
For those who are familiar with history, they naturally know that Yongqi is Qianlong's favorite son. After Queen Xiaoxian's two legitimate sons died young, Qianlong had high hopes for Yongqi. However, history is always full of variables. After Yongqi died young, his concubine's son, the mediocre Yongyan, eventually succeeded him as Emperor Jiaqing. These historical fragments flashed through Li Qingge's mind. However, she did not show any emotion.
At this time, two young men in gorgeous clothes came forward, clasped their fists and saluted: "The imperial guards Falkan and Forte have met Her Majesty the Queen." There was a hint of emotion in their voices. Awe and curiosity.
When Li Qingge heard these two names, he almost fell off his horse. She was secretly surprised: Falcon? Forte? Isn't this the world in "Huanzhugege"? She originally thought she had traveled through time to the Qianlong Dynasty, but she did not expect that she had traveled through time to the world of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" written by Grandma QY. The three concepts and logic in this world always make people laugh or cry.
She suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and glanced at Falcon and Forte calmly. She knew that these two people were a scourge and didn't want to get too involved with them. So, she asked directly: "Where is your emperor? Haven't you always wanted to see me?" There was a hint of impatience and indifference in her voice.
Yong Qi quickly replied: "To reply to the Queen, Huang Ama is fasting and we will not see each other until tomorrow." There was a hint of apology and helplessness in his voice. He knew that Li Qingge had been waiting for this meeting for too long. However, he could not change Qianlong's decision.
Li Qingge felt a little unhappy. Was this just for show? However, she did not show any emotion. She knew that this meeting would be a long battle. So, she said: "Then I'll wait!" Her voice was calm and firm, as if she wanted to prove her determination and patience.
"I feel sorry for the queen to stay in the post house tonight." Yongqi said. There was some concern and respect in his voice. He knew that although this meeting was full of gunpowder, he must fulfill his duty as a landlord.
Li Qingge said calmly: "Lead the way!" Her voice was concise and powerful, as if to prove her decisiveness and determination. She knew that this meeting would be an important turning point in her life. No matter what the outcome, she must face it bravely.
After arriving at the post house, Li Qingge washed and changed clothes first to get rid of the dust and dust along the way. She changed into homely clothes and sat in front of the dressing mirror to comb her long hair. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she wanted to sort out her thoughts.
At this time, Amelia Su opened the curtain and walked in. She put the loquat dew in her hand on the dressing table and said softly: "Your Majesty, drink some loquat dew to moisten your throat." There was a bit of concern and tenderness in her voice. She knew that this meeting put Li Qingge under too much pressure. However, she couldn't share the slightest bit with her. I can only stay with her silently and give her the most sincere care and support.
The sunlight shines through the carved wooden windows and onto the bluestone floor of the post house, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this simple building. In the inn, the drink carefully prepared by the chef was served in a crystal clear glass cup. The liquid in the cup was attractive in color and exuded a light fruity aroma, which seemed to instantly dispel the fatigue of the journey.
Li Qingge, wearing an elegant plain dress, with a simple white jade hairpin in her hair, her eyebrows revealing an extraordinary temperament, she gently took the drink, her fingertips touching the wall of the cup , bringing a bit of coolness. Her eyes softened at that moment, as if she was savoring the ingenuity contained in the drink, and she seemed to be thinking about something important. She took a sip gently, and the sweetness and slightly sourness intertwined on the tip of her tongue. It was indeed as she said, it tasted good.
"Have everything been cleared up?" Li Qingge's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable dignity. Her eyes fell on Amelia Su standing aside, with both trust and expectation in her eyes.
Su Xiaomei, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, has a heroic appearance and a sharp look in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low and powerful voice: "Everything has been found out. A while ago, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty went hunting in the Western Mountains and indeed rescued an injured woman. Later, I heard that the emperor liked her lively look very much, so he took her in. As a righteous daughter, I was also given a 'return' Zhugege's title."
Hearing this, Li Qingge raised an imperceptible smile and nodded: "It's the same as what I thought." She already had concerns about this folk. Princess, she has her own plan.
