Chapter 56
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions. Then, she turned her head, looked at Qianlong, and said in a cold voice: "I know her. She is my aunt Jin Zhaodi."
Hearing this, Qianlong raised a proud smile on his lips. He knew that he had successfully touched Li Qingge's weakness, so he continued to provoke: "Oh? So it's your aunt! Then she is your relative! Now that you two meet, shouldn't you be happy?"< br>
Li Qingge had a cold face and did not answer Qianlong's words. She knew Qianlong wanted to see how she would react and how she would make a decision. But she was unwilling to let Qianlong get his wish. So, she turned her head, looked at her aunt Jin Zhaodi, and said in a soft voice: "Aunt, are you okay?"
Jin Zhaodi's eyes instantly moistened when she heard Li Qingge's voice. She replied with a trembling voice: "I...I'm fine...Qingge...Why are you here too?"
When Li Qingge heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. She knew that her aunt still cared about her and treated her as a relative. So, she smiled and replied: "Let me see you! Aunt, don't worry, I will find a way to rescue you."
Qianlong's face instantly darkened when he heard Li Qingge's words. He knew that Li Qingge wanted to fight him to the end, so he snorted and said: "Li Qingge, how capable do you think you are? Do you think you can save your aunt? I tell you, as long as I have one day You are still the emperor, so you can never go against me!"
Li Qingge sneered when he heard this. She looked at Qianlong and said in a cold voice: "Master Qianlong, don't forget, I am not the Li Qingge of the past. Now I am the queen of Dayan! I have my army, my subjects, my Resourceful! If I really want to go against you, you may not be able to do anything to me!"
Qianlong was so angry that he trembled all over after hearing what Li Qingge said. He knew that what Li Qingge said was true, but he was unwilling to admit his failure. So, he roared angrily and said: "Li Qingge! Don't think that I really dare not touch you! If you dare to go against me again, I will never let you off lightly!"
Li Qingge looked at Qianlong's expression He looked furious, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart. She knew that she had successfully angered Qianlong, and she also knew that this storm was inevitable. But she was not afraid. Instead, she had the urge to compete with Qianlong.
So, she sneered and replied: "Master Qianlong, if you want to touch me, just come! If I, Li Qingge, frown, I will lose!"
After saying this, Li Qingge Then he turned and left. She knew that she had successfully disturbed the banquet, and she also knew that Qianlong had developed a deep fear of her. But she didn't care. Instead, she felt that this was a rare victory.
As Jin Zhaodi looked at Li Qingge's leaving figure, tears finally fell from her eyes. She knew that her niece had grown into an amazing queen, and she also knew that she would find a way to save her. As a result, she felt an unprecedented sense of hope and courage.
After this incident, the relationship between Li Qingge and Qianlong became even more tense. They both know that each other has become each other's biggest threat and enemy. But they were not afraid. Instead, they had the urge to compete with each other.
In this turmoil, Jin Zhaodi also became an important pawn in the struggle between Li Qingge and Qianlong. She knew that her fate was in the hands of others, but she was unwilling to give up hope and courage. So, she began to wait silently for Li Qingge's rescue and victory.
Jin Zhaodi surrounded Li Qingge, who was wearing a mask, like a confused butterfly, looking for the familiar fragrance among the flowers. Her eyes were full of doubts and curiosity, as if she wanted to see through the figure in front of her. Li Qingge was tall, and even under his loose robes, it was difficult to hide his unique temperament. Her steps were light and every step seemed to tell her story silently.
Zhao Di's eyes lingered on Li Qingge's face, trying to catch a trace of familiarity behind the cold mask. However, the mask was like an indestructible wall, firmly hiding Li Qingge's true appearance. Zhaodi sighed and shook her head, her helplessness and disappointment falling slowly like fallen leaves in autumn.
"No...I don't know..." Zhao Di's voice was as thin as a gnat, but it was particularly clear in the silent air. How could she know him? Li Qingge wore a mask and did not speak. The familiar figure and voice were ruthlessly isolated by this mask.
He Shen stood aside, like a cunning fox, always ready to catch prey. He had been frustrated just now, but now when he saw Zhao Di coming out, he seemed to have seen a savior, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and he felt that he had regained that majestic feeling. So, he squinted his eyes, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Are you really not familiar with me?"
Zhao Di was frightened by He Shen's cold gaze, and she shook her head. There is a hint of Trembling: "I don't know you!" When He Shen heard this, he was furious and shouted loudly: "How dare you lie in front of the emperor? The crime of deceiving the emperor will lead to the destruction of the family!" His voice was like thunder, shocking. Di was frightened.
Zhao Di was so frightened that her whole body became weak, and she collapsed on the ground like mud. She cried and begged for mercy: "A common woman dare not deceive the emperor, I really don't dare!" Her tears were like broken beads, rolling to the ground, Splashing water.
Li Qingge was furious when he saw He Shen deliberately making things difficult for Zhao Di. She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to turn all the anger into strength. She loudly rebuked He Shen: "How can she recognize me when I'm wearing a mask? Sir He Shen, you are in a high position, how can you bully a weak woman like this? Don't you feel ashamed?" Her voice was firm and powerful, like the cold wind. The pines and cypresses among them remain standing.
He Shen was speechless for a moment when he was asked. He was stunned, as if he was hit by Li Qingge's words. There was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
When Zhao Di heard Li Qingge's voice, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart. She suddenly woke up and asked in shock and doubt: "A...A-Feng...is that you, A-Feng?" There was a tremor in her voice, as if she couldn't believe her ears. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered her mouth as if to take back the words.
Li Qingge nodded, her eyes full of tenderness and comfort. She said softly: "It's me, aunt, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you." Her voice was like the spring breeze blowing on her face, making Zhao Di's fear and anxiety instantly dissipate.
After hearing Li Qingge's words, Zhao Di felt an indescribable mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart. She wanted to speak, but held back. She just bit her lower lip tightly, as if to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.
He Shen's eyes turned cold, and the two guards behind him appeared quietly like ghosts. They were tall and silent, as if they were two cold statues. They held Zhaodi's shoulders on the left and right, holding her firmly in their hands.
Li Qingge looked at these two people and was secretly wary. She knew that they were masters of internal strength, and every movement contained infinite power. She snorted coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
He Shen stared at Li Qingge and said with a sinister smile: "Her Majesty the Queen is so affectionate and loyal. She is willing to take such a big risk for an aunt who is not related by blood. It is really touching." His voice was full of sarcasm and provocation.
Li Qingge sneered and said: "The relatives in the world are not just those related by blood. People's hearts are made of flesh, and you know how close you are to each other. How can you understand, you treacherous villains?" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she wanted to imprint this truth into everyone's heart.
He Shen was scolded, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "In that case, let's talk about the terms." His voice was full of pride and cunning.
Li Qingge said disdainfully: "You still want to threaten me with your little tricks?" Her eyes were full of coldness and disdain. She knew He Shen was cunning and insidious, but she was not afraid. She believes she has enough wisdom and strength to deal with all this.
He Shen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is willing to take risks, which shows that you attach great importance to Zhao Di..." At this point, he looked at Qianlong. Qianlong sat aside, his expression cold and majestic. He and He Shen had a clear understanding of each other, and he knew that what He Shen was going to say next would not sound good, but he still nodded. As long as he can humiliate this green-faced woman, he is willing to do anything.
He Shen got Qianlong's tacit approval and became even more complacent. He said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless. Your Majesty, as a monarch, you are so impulsive for a common man. How can you govern the country and stabilize the world?" His voice was full of emotion. Ridicule and provocation.
Li Qingge replied coldly: "My country is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I don't need to worry about you, sir." Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she wanted to imprint this truth into everyone's heart. She knows her country and her people, and she has enough confidence and determination to protect them.
He Shen smiled as brightly as a flower and said: "It is actually very easy for Your Majesty to ensure that Zhaodi is safe and sound. You only need to promise our Emperor three things. We will talk about them in detail later. In order to To show your sincerity, please say hello to the emperor first." His voice was full of pride and cunning. He knew that Li Qingge would not give in easily, but he had enough patience and means to deal with her.
Li Qingge looked at He Shen coldly, her eyes full of coldness and disdain. She knew He Shen was cunning and insidious, but she was not afraid. She took a deep breath and prepared herself for the upcoming challenge. She knew that for Zhaodi, Dayan, and herself, she had to face all this with strength.
For those who have deep feelings and pay attention to morality, threatening the lives of loved ones is undoubtedly the most vicious way, like a snake hitting seven inches, hitting the vital point. However, Li Qingge, the Queen of Dayan, is a woman with a complex and tough personality. She is as gentle as water and can understand people's hearts delicately, but she is also unyielding and strong. She never compromises in the face of power and coercion.
At this moment, she stood in the magnificent hall, facing the threats of Qianlong and Heshen, her eyes revealed disdain and cold arrogance. Her figure is tall and straight, like a cold plum standing proudly in the wind and snow, not afraid of the cold, wind and frost. She snorted disdainfully, her voice clear and firm, as if it could penetrate people's hearts: "It's just a wishful thinking to want me to succumb to that old guy Qianlong!"
Qianlong smiled when he heard this. His face froze at the words, and a trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes. However, he was more afraid of Li Qingge's unyielding will. He Shen stood aside, his expression changed greatly in shock. He had never seen such a courageous woman who dared to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor.
Li Qingge raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at the officials present. Her eyes were like daggers, as if she could see into the darkness and hypocrisy in people's hearts. Especially towards Qianlong, she cast an even colder gaze, as if she wanted to see through him. Her voice was cold and firm: "Do you think you can threaten me with my aunt's life? You are so naive."
He Shen was glanced at by her cold eyes and couldn't help but shudder. . However, he still managed to hold on and said: "Her life is now in my hands, so what if you disobey me?" There was a tremor in his voice, but he still tried to maintain his dignity.
Li Qingge smiled contemptuously, and the smile revealed ridicule and disdain for He Shen. She said: "I came all the way to the capital from thousands of miles away not to be coerced by you." Although her voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
After saying that, her red shadow flashed and she quickly rushed towards the kidnapped Jin Zhaodi. Her movements were agile and fast, like a red lightning bolt piercing the sky. He Shen was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Stop her quickly!" However, it was too late.
The two guards knew that Li Qingge was highly skilled in martial arts, and originally wanted to hold Jin Zhaodi hostage to restrain her. However, before they had time to react, they felt a wave of palm wind coming towards their faces. The palm wind was strong and sharp, as if it could tear everything apart. In an instant, they were severely injured and fell to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere, and they died on the spot.
The speed of Li Qingge's attack was simply unbelievable. She rescued Jin Zhaodi in the blink of an eye and dispatched the two guards neatly. Her skills are profound, and her hundreds of years of cultivation allow her to easily crush even a thousand-jin boulder with one palm. Not to mention flesh and blood? Although the two guards were superb in martial arts, they were as fragile as ants in Li Qingge's hands.
Seeing this scene, He Shen was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. His eyes revealed fear and shock towards Li Qingge. When he saw the figure in red approaching again, he had already been slapped on the cheek. The power of that palm was so great that the sound was as loud as a firecracker. The pain was almost unbearable, and his whole body seemed to be blown away by a powerful force.
When everyone woke up, He Shen's originally handsome face was swollen like a pig's head. His eyes were narrowed into a thin line, and there was blood on the corners of his mouth. Even his mother could not recognize him. He lay on the ground in a state of disgrace, groaning in pain.
However, Li Qingge and Jin Zhaodi took their seats calmly, as if nothing happened just now. She tasted the delicacies on the table with a smile, and her smile revealed calmness and confidence. Everyone present was shocked by her aura, knowing that this woman was no ordinary person.
Jin Zhaodi sat next to Li Qingge, her eyes shining with gratitude and awe. She held Li Qingge's hand tightly, as if she had found support. Li Qingge gently patted the back of her hand to express comfort. Her eyes revealed her concern and love for Jin Zhaodi.
In that era, literary prisons were prevalent, and warriors often broke into the palace in violation of prohibitions in the name of doing justice to heaven, and assassinating the emperor was not uncommon. However, no matter how strong the master is, it is difficult to withstand the siege of everyone. Once surrounded by guards, it is difficult to escape. Today, these two guards are not only superb in martial arts, they are also Ouchi's instructors and have never been defeated in hundreds of battles. I originally thought that with their skills, even if they encountered a top master, they would be able to defeat them within ten moves. What's more, they also held Jin Zhaodi as a hostage, thinking that everything was safe.
However, no one expected that Li Qingge would be so strong and completely ignore everything. She killed two guards in an instant and beat He Shen into a pig's head. Her martial arts skills are truly unbelievable. The entire palace was silent for a moment, everyone held their breath, as if even the dust in the air had solidified.
Qianlong's face turned as ugly as dirt, and his eyes revealed fear and shock towards Li Qingge. He thought to himself: With Li Qingge's martial arts, it would be easy for him to enter the palace and assassinate him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. He was well aware of Li Qingge's strength and courage, and knew that this woman was definitely not a creature in the pool.
After being silent for a long time, Qianlong managed to squeeze out a smile. What was revealed in that smile was the fear and awe of Li Qingge. He said: "The Queen of Dayan has superb martial arts skills. Such stunts really opened my eyes." Although his voice was calm, there was an imperceptible tremor.
Hearing this, Li Qingge just smiled faintly. Her eyes revealed ridicule and disdain for Qianlong. She knew Qianlong's hypocrisy and cunning, and she also knew that this contest was not over. However, she is not afraid because she has enough strength and wisdom to face all challenges.
After the storm, the palace returned to its former calm. However, it left an indelible mark on everyone's heart. They are well aware of Li Qingge's strength and courage, and they also know that this woman will be a presence they cannot ignore in the future. And Li Qingge also showed her style and strength in this competition, making everyone admire her with admiration.
The sunlight shines through the carved window lattice and dapples onto the magnificent hall, adding a bit of softness to this solemn and solemn place. Li Qingge stood in the center of the hall, his luxurious brocade robe overflowing with color, his mouth raised slightly, his smile like the most gorgeous flower in spring, his voice as clear as a silver bell, saying: "The emperor's Sichuan Opera face-changing skills are really amazing, let me It’s an eye-opener and full of praise.” Her eyes shone with a cunning light, as if she could see through all illusions.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting on a high dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe, majestic and solemn, but at this moment his face was not very good-looking, like a sky covered with dark clouds, and he responded in a low voice: "Queen, Mrs. Too much praise. Dayanhe. The Qing Dynasty is a brother of the same origin. They occupy this vast land of China together. They are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. It stands to reason that they should be as close as one family, right?" His eyes were deep, as if he was looking for the truth in Li Qingge's words. intention. Li Qingge laughed. The sound was clear and sweet, like the gurgling of a mountain stream or the chirping of birds in the forest. "For the sake of profit, it is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other. It is said that we are as close as a family. Between countries, this is It's okay It is very difficult to find. There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in this world, only interests are eternal." Her words are straightforward and profound, like a sharp blade, cutting through the veil of hypocrisy in the world. After hearing this, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The ministers beside Qianlong, all wearing official uniforms and black veils on their heads, nodded thoughtfully when they heard the words, secretly admiring: This Queen of Great Yan is not She is an ordinary village woman, but her words are so philosophical. They exchanged glances, seemingly silently communicating their views on the queen.
Qianlong smiled again, with a hint of helplessness and relief hidden in that smile, "The queen's words are really sharp. She must be a sensible person and should know the preciousness of peace. In the past, there were constant wars and the people were miserable. As the monarch, we, We should work for the benefit of the people. How about we turn our hostility into friendship and work together to protect the peace of the two countries, what does the Queen think?" There was a hint of sincerity in his tone, but more of a helplessness about the situation.
After hearing this, Li Qingge couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face. She knew that when there was no threat and she knew she couldn't beat him, the other party would want to sue for peace. How could anything be so cheap in this world? If she didn't make him feel pain in her heart today, she would never give up. However, you still need to plan carefully how to act. So, she responded calmly: "I am also willing to turn conflicts into friendship, but some people are not willing to do so. I don't like fighting, but I am not afraid of fighting. If someone doesn't overestimate his own capabilities, I will definitely let him know how powerful he is." There was something in her words. There was an unquestionable determination, as if she had already seen the victory in the future.
Qianlong narrowed his eyes, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate all disguises, "How does the queen think this matter should be handled?" There was a hint of temptation in his tone, as if he wanted to see What is Li Qingge's plan?
Just when Li Qingge was about to speak, he saw Li Yu hurriedly walked to Qianlong's ear with a fly whisk and whispered something in Qianlong's ear. Qianlong's face immediately turned ashen, like the sky before a storm, and his eyes were so sharp that they could kill someone. He stared at Li Qingge and said sternly: "The Queen is very clever! But our Qing Dynasty cannot be bullied casually!" There was suppressed anger in his voice, as if it was about to explode at any time.
Li Qingge smiled, with a bit of pride and provocation hidden in that smile, "Oh? Then we'll just wait and see. I can't wait to watch this good show." Hers The voice was light and cheerful, as if he had already seen the victory in the future.
Qianlong was so angry that he placed the cup with the golden dragon pattern in his hand heavily on the table. The wine spilled out and splashed on the golden dragon robe, which seemed to be the best interpretation of his anger. The ministers were so frightened that they left the table and knelt down, shouting: "Your Majesty, calm down!" There was trembling and fear in their voices, as if they were afraid of offending the angry king.
Jin Zhaodi was also so frightened that she knelt down. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes shone with fear. Li Qingge quickly supported her and said with a smile: "The Emperor and I are equals, and my aunt is my elder. How can I kneel down casually?" Her voice was gentle but firm, as if it could soothe all fears.
Jin Zhaodi was very flustered and didn't know what to do. She looked at Li Qingge, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. Li Qingge patted her shoulder gently and comforted her with his eyes: "Sit peacefully, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you in the future." There was an undoubted power in her voice, as if she could It brings endless comfort and courage to people.
Jin Zhaodi's mood was still hard to calm down. She thought of the suffering her niece had suffered before, and now she suddenly became the queen. It felt like a dream. She looked at Li Qingge, her eyes shining with pride and relief. She knew that this niece was no longer the weak woman who allowed others to bully her. She had grown into a queen who could stand alone.
Li Qingge understood why Qianlong was angry, because she had already arranged the artillery at the border to be ready to launch artillery demonstrations at the right time. She knew that this move had completely angered Qianlong, but she was not afraid. She believes that only strength is the last word. Only by letting the other party know the pain can the other party truly surrender.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense and solemn, as if a string was about to break at any time. Li Qingge and Qianlong looked at each other, with their own calculations and determination hidden in their eyes. They know that this contest has just begun and the road ahead is still long and difficult. But no matter what, they will not give up their positions and interests.
The sunlight shines through the window lattice and onto the floor of the hall, forming patches of golden light. These spots of light seemed to be the hopes and dreams in the hearts of everyone in the hall. Although they were small, they were unwavering. They know that only by persisting can they usher in real victory and peace.
In this war without gunpowder, Li Qingge and Qianlong are both representatives and symbols of their respective countries. Every decision and action they make is related to the future and destiny of the two countries. Therefore, they must make choices carefully and decisively and not let their country fall into crisis and difficulty.
Li Qingge looked at Qianlong, his heart full of firmness and determination. She knew that this battle would not end easily, but she was fully prepared and dealt with it. She believes that as long as she has faith and hope in her heart, she will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges.
Qianlong looked at Li Qingge, his heart filled with complicated emotions. He knew that this woman was no longer the weak woman who could be bullied at will. She is now a queen with great strength and wisdom, an opponent who can be his equal. Therefore, he must re-examine his strategies and plans and not let the country fall into a greater crisis.
The atmosphere in the hall was still tense and solemn, but both Li Qingge and Qianlong were well prepared and prepared. They know that this contest will be a long and difficult journey, but as long as they have faith and hope in their hearts, they will be able to usher in real victory and peace.
With an order, hundreds of cannons roared at the same moment, and the deafening sound seemed to tear the sky apart. Those cannons were the most powerful weapons of Dayan, and each shell contained the power to destroy the world. The fire shot up into the sky like an angry dragon, dyeing the sky red. The sound was so loud that the clouds trembled, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken.
The Qing troops on the border were frightened by the sudden artillery fire and turned pale. They panicked and fled like a pack of wolves. Some fell to the ground and some bumped into each other. Not to mention how embarrassed they were. . They thought that Great Yan was going to start another war, and the panic in their hearts surged like a tide, almost drowning them.
The generals of the Qing army hurriedly sent people and horses to the capital to report the shocking news. The sound of horse hooves was rapid and powerful, raising waves of dust, as if to convey the tense atmosphere to every corner.
From the sound of the cannon to the news reaching the capital, everything was in Li Qingge's plan. Her plan was so clever that even Emperor Qianlong had to be surprised. When the news reached Qianlong's ears, he was sitting in the magnificent palace, enjoying fine wine and delicacies, but his tranquility was suddenly broken by this sudden news.
Qianlong's eyes instantly became as cold as a knife. He stared at the messenger who came to report the message, as if he wanted to see through him. The messenger knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise his head and look directly into the emperor's eyes. Qianlong pondered for a moment and finally said: "Queen, why are you pressing so hard?"
Li Qingge was standing in the main hall at this time. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a golden crown. , revealing an unquestionable majesty between his brows. She raised her eyebrows and replied sternly: "I didn't force you, it was you, the Qing Dynasty, who stirred up the trouble first. It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. Otherwise, where would I put my face? Where is Dayan's dignity?" "
When Qianlong heard this, his face was livid with anger. He didn't expect Li Qingge's words to be so sharp, piercing his heart. He suppressed his anger and said grimly: "Well, even if I was wrong before, Queen, you have provoked war at the border and forced you again and again. Where is the dignity of our Qing Dynasty?"
Li Qingge looked serious and her eyes were as hard as iron. She stared at Qianlong without flinching and said word by word: "If you want others to respect you, you must first be strong yourself, and the country must be strong as well." So. Dignity is earned with swords, and truth is born with gunfire. I will send someone to tell you how to resolve this matter until you are convinced!"
After saying that, she didn't care how ugly Qianlong's face was, as disgusting as the stinky socks that had accumulated for a long time, she took Jin Zhaodi's hand and walked away swaggeringly. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if every step she took was stepping on the land of the Qing Dynasty, declaring the majesty of the Great Yan.
With a bang, all the wine and food on the table behind Li Qingge were overturned and scattered all over the floor. Qianlong was so angry that his face was twisted, and he wanted to bite his teeth into pieces: "This woman is so hateful, she dares to coerce me like this..." He was so angry that he seemed to burn down the entire palace.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty! Don't be angry, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging him to calm down. They knew that once Qianlong's anger broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
After returning to the post house, the evil spirit in Li Qingge's heart finally came out, and she felt particularly happy. She sat at the table, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and raised a proud smile on her lips. Jin Zhaodi sat next to her. Although she had escaped from the tiger's mouth, she was still scared and felt like she was in a dream. She looked at Li Qingge, her eyes shining with awe and gratitude.
Li Qingge thought of his aunt's love for her in the past, and a warm current surged in his heart. She gently comforted Jin Zhaodi: "Aunt, don't be afraid, you are safe now. As long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Jin Zhaodi was moved to tears after hearing this. She took Li Qingge's hand and said with choked sobs: "Qingge, thank you, you are really my savior."
Li Qingge gently patted the back of Jin Zhaodi's hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, you're welcome. We are a family and should help each other."
Then, she asked how Jin Zhaodi entered the palace, And some little things in the palace. She was afraid that someone would use disguise to deceive people, so she asked very carefully, even what she liked to eat when she was a child and what gifts she received on her birthday. Jin Zhaodi answered her one by one. When she mentioned that she used to go to her aunt's house and saw her aunt grinding beans to make tofu puffs, she had a nostalgic look on her face.
“I remember that at that time, I especially liked eating tofu curd with sugar sprinkled on top. I thought it was fresh, refreshing and especially delicious.” Li Qingge said with a smile.
Jin Zhaodi corrected her with a smile: "How can you eat sweet tofu curd? All I made were marinated, why did you remember it wrong?"
Li Qingge laughed when he heard this. His eyes narrowed and he said, "Yes, yes, I remembered wrongly. My aunt is good at making salted tofu puffs. I was still young and ignorant at that time, but I still find it funny when I think about it now."
Li Qingge felt relieved after confirming that Jin Zhaodi was the real aunt and not a disguised one. She hugged Jin Zhaodi tightly, as if she wanted to hold on to the lost family affection.
Jin Zhaodi also asked Li Qingge how he came here all these years, how he escaped from the brothel, and how he became the queen of Dayan. Li Qingge sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his determination.
“In those years, I experienced a lot of suffering and torture. But I never gave up hope and kept looking for opportunities to escape. Later, I finally met a kind man who helped me escape from the brothel. , and gave me a sum of money to start my life again. I used that money to start a business, and gradually accumulated wealth and power. Eventually, I became the queen of Dayan with my own wisdom and courage." Li Qingge said simply. It’s hard to imagine, but the hardship and difficulty involved are unimaginable.
Jin Zhaodi was filled with admiration and emotion as she listened to Li Qingge's narration. She held Li Qingge's hand tightly and said, "Qingge, you are such an amazing woman. I am proud and proud of you."
Li Qingge smiled, with a firm light shining in his eyes. She knows that she still has a long way to go, and there are still many challenges and difficulties waiting for her. But she believes that as long as she has firm faith and courage, she will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future.
The graves of Lao Jin's family have always been ordinary, and they have never seen the smoke curling up as a good omen. It seems that even God has never favored this family. However, who would have thought that in this ordinary soil, Li Qingge, the founding emperor of the country, would be born. This thing is really strange, and it makes people sigh that things are impermanent.
Li Qingge stood in front of the old house, looking at the familiar land, with endless emotion in his heart. When she heard the comments from others, she just smiled lightly and didn't say much. But when Jin Zhaodi, her aunt, mentioned those old memories, a complicated light flashed in her eyes.
"My child, all the suffering you have suffered is because I, the old lady, did not take good care of the family and allowed that bad guy Jin Aicai to take advantage of the loophole." Jin Zhaodi's voice was filled with tears, tears welling up in her eyes, "Fortunately you Your parents’ spirits in heaven protect you, and you escaped this disaster.”
Li Qingge held it gently. The aunt's hand was gentle but firm: "Aunt, don't blame yourself. You still have a son to raise, and my uncle is not in good health. How can you take care of everything? My parents passed away early, if not You feel sorry for me, a lonely child, how could I be where I am today?"
Jin Zhaodi looked at Li Qingge, her eyes full of love and relief. This niece has been smart and hard-working since she was a child. Now, she has become the king of a country, but she still maintains her rare innocence and kindness.
"You child, you are so sensible and considerate, it really makes me feel sad." Jin Zhaodi sighed and continued, "Now that you are doing so well, your parents can feel at ease."
When it comes to With his adoptive parents, Li Qingge's emotions were a little out of control. She burst into tears and said: "I came to the capital this time, firstly, to take my aunt home, and secondly, to move my parents' graves to a good place, build an imperial mausoleum, give them honorary titles, and let them enjoy eternal life." Incense, its name will go down in history.”
When Jin Zhaodi heard this, he felt sad in his heart. She thought of Li Qingge's parents, a kind and hard-working couple who passed away early, leaving behind this lonely child. Nowadays, Li Qingge has made a career and has not forgotten the kindness of his parents in raising him. This kind of filial piety is really rare.
"Others are laughing at your parents for not having a son and raising a daughter in vain." Jin Zhaodi shook her head and continued, "Now that you are so promising and have brought glory to your parents, those who once laughed at you Our people are probably extremely envious now."
Li Qingge snorted coldly, with a cold look in his eyes. Guang Guang: "Hmph, I must let those envious and jealous people know, what if I don't have a son? As my daughter, I can also make my parents famous. Not only my parents should be granted the title, but you, my aunt, should also be granted the title of Grand Master. Princess, I will repay those who are good to me a hundred times; those who are not good to me, I will make them suffer a hundred times.”
When Jin Zhaodi heard this, she felt moved in her heart, but she was more uneasy. She shook her head and said: "It's enough for your parents to grant you the title. I don't need this. I'm just an old country woman, vulgar and ignorant, with no manners or grace. If you designate me as a princess, I'm afraid people will laugh at me. I I am already old and not far from the road to hell. What use are these false names to me? I just hope that your cousin can marry a good wife and live a stable life. Nothing else matters."
Li Qingge shook her head resolutely. She held her aunt's hand tightly and said firmly: "No! After my parents left, you are the person I love the most. And you are my grandparents' first My child, the eldest sister is like a mother, you love my dad so much. Now that dad is gone, I should be filial to you on his behalf."
Jin Zhaodi felt warm in her heart as she looked at Li Qingge's firm eyes. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said: "You have lived up to my love for you. But the canonization can be done slowly. Let's deal with your parents' death and Jin Aicai's affairs first."
