60. Chapter 60


Chapter 60

Although the Qing court once slandered her and painted her as a sinister and vicious person, the beauty in front of her was breathtakingly beautiful. She is clearly the true form of Queen Mingde of Dayan. Where is the female evil goddess? She was clearly a fairy from heaven who came down to earth, bringing a breath of fresh air to this mortal world.

Wearing a black gold horse-faced skirt embroidered with nine dragons, her identity is already obvious. This was originally the clothing of the True Dragon Emperor, but now it is worn on her body, which shows her nobility and extraordinaryness. The concubines saw her and were jealous of her beauty and ashamed of themselves. They felt like wild flowers and grass in the mountains. Although they were somewhat beautiful, they could not compare with Li Qingge. She is the only one who is as dazzling as a blooming peony, making it impossible to ignore her presence.

However, they were secretly glad that Li Qingge was not an Eight Banner girl. Otherwise, in the name of Emperor Qianlong's lust, he would definitely find ways to include her in the harem. By then, I'm afraid there will no longer be peace in the harem. They are well aware of their status and identity, and they also understand that the competition for favor and beauty in this palace is endless. But they also knew that they could not compare with Li Qingge, let alone compete for her status and favor.

Only when the queen looked at Li Qingge, she felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness in her heart. This feeling is neither jealousy nor hatred, nor fear. It was a closeness that confused her, as if there was some mysterious connection between the two. She tried to sort out this thought, but she still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until Grandma Rong gently tugged on her sleeve that the queen came back to her senses. She quickly led the concubines to salute and said: "Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen, long live long live long live!" Her voice was uniform, full of awe and admiration.

Li Qingge nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his lips. She is well aware of her identity and status, and also understands the rules and etiquette in the palace. She doesn't care about these false fame and fortune, she just hopes that she can keep the country of Dayan and the safety of the people in this troubled world. She looked at the queen and concubines in front of her, and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. They are all poor people in this palace, bound by power and status, unable to freely pursue their own happiness and dreams.

She sighed softly, then took Amelia Su's hand and continued to walk forward. Her steps were light and firm, as if she were heading towards an unknown future. Behind her is the respect and admiration of the queen and concubines; in front of her are unknown challenges and adventures. But she is not afraid because she knows that she has enough wisdom and courage to face all difficulties and challenges. She is Li Qingge, Queen Mingde of Dayan, and a ray of cleanliness in this troubled world.

The fragrance of chrysanthemums, yellow cinnamon and autumn is strong in autumn

The autumn breeze is gentle, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also brings the fragrance of chrysanthemums all over the garden. In the Imperial Garden, chrysanthemums of all colors are blooming, as if they are the most gorgeous palette of nature, making this autumn scenery particularly enchanting. The sun shines through the clouds, casting dappled light and shadow, adding a bit of warmth and peace to the imperial garden.

“You’re welcome, everyone, get up!” Li Qingge waved his hands, with a warm smile on his face. The smile was like the warm autumn sun, warm but not dazzling, “The weather in autumn is really nice today. , it is also a pleasure for us to enjoy the chrysanthemums together." Her voice was clear and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

When the queen heard this, her smile was as bright as a flower, and she quickly responded: "Your Majesty can come, it is really a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes." She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and pearls on her head, exuding the majesty of her mother's love for the world. , but at this moment in front of Li Qingge, he seemed particularly humble and kind.

When Li Qingge heard the word "concubine", he frowned slightly. His delicate brows seemed like distant mountains in an ink painting, with a bit of gentleness and tenderness. "Queen, you are the elder. We don't need to pay so much attention to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Let's get along as friends." Her words revealed sincerity and respect, which warmed the queen's heart.

The queen did not expect that Li Qingge would give her such face when he arrived, and she was extremely happy. It is said that the Queen of Dayan has the same status as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but there are many rules in the palace. No matter how noble the queen is, she is still a minister in the end. Now that Li Qingge said this, the queen felt particularly close, as if the distance between the two had suddenly become much closer. She smiled and agreed: "Okay!" The voice was full of joy and gratitude.

Li Qingge was planning to visit the Imperial Garden, and the Queen wanted to stay with her to enjoy the autumn colors in the garden. At this time, the concubine hurried forward. She was wearing an elegant palace dress, and her steps were light, like fallen leaves in autumn, blowing in the wind. She said softly: "Her Majesty the Queen came to the harem for the first time, just in time for the chrysanthemums to bloom at their peak. You can't miss this autumn scenery." Her voice was soft and delicate, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, which made people feel refreshed. Feel comfortable.

As soon as the queen heard this, her expression immediately changed. She knew full well that her concubine's intention was nothing more than to express herself in front of Li Qingge and gain favor. But in front of Li Qingge, she had to endure it and maintain her queenly demeanor. Aunt Rong became angry at the sight. Her eyes widened and she was about to curse, but the Queen quickly stopped her. The queen used her eyes to signal her not to be impulsive, and then Grandma Rong closed her mouth angrily.

The people around him were all quiet, and they didn't dare to speak out. They all knew that the undercurrent between the queen and her concubines was surging, and if they were not careful, it might cause a turmoil. However, Li Qingge didn't seem to see any of this. She just looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden. Various varieties of chrysanthemums are competing for their beauty, such as Bianliang green green, mud gold nine-link chain, Cao'an white jade... they are all rare treasures. They are either budding, blooming proudly, or drooping shyly, each showing a different style.

However, Li Qingge looked at it for a while and sighed: "Although the chrysanthemums in this imperial garden are beautiful, they lack Tao Yuanming's artistic conception of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. After looking at them for a long time, I will get tired of them." There was a bit of regret and melancholy in her voice, as if she was missing that simple and pure life.

When your concubine heard this, she came forward again and said softly: "If your majesty is tired of looking at the chrysanthemums, the golden osmanthus in my concubine's Yanxi Palace is in full bloom. Do you want to go and have a look?" " There was a bit of flattery and flattery in her voice, but she didn't expect that these words just touched Li Qingge's taboo.

Li Qingge responded calmly: "My name is Li Qingge. The phoenix has its own nobility, so why does it need golden osmanthus to add color? Are you trying to use the word 'gui' to compare with my 'Qingge'?" Her voice sounded. Although calm, he revealed an unquestionable majesty. As soon as these words came out, the concubine turned pale and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "I deserve to die. I just want to make His Majesty happy. I didn't expect that Jin Gui and His Majesty's names conflict with each other. Please forgive me!" Her voice was trembling. and panic, as if begging Li Qingge for forgiveness.

When the Queen and Aunt Rong saw that their concubine was embarrassed, they looked at each other and smiled, unable to hide their gloating looks. They knew that Li Qingge was not an easy person to deal with, and they had to be careful if they wanted to please her in front of her.

At this time, Concubine Shu took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the jewelry made for the concubine by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago were all gold. When they were sent to the Yanxi Palace, the concubine thought it was tacky and said that only Hetian white jade could match it. Get along with her." There was a hint of ridicule and provocation in her voice, as if she was deliberately irritating Li Qingge.

Concubine Ying also said: "Yes, my concubine always said that only when jade has the air of a gentleman can she show her nobility." Although her voice was calm, it also revealed a bit of dissatisfaction and contempt. She knew that her concubine had always wanted to stand out in the harem, but she didn't expect that she would stumble in front of Li Qingge today.

The singing of Concubine Shu and Concubine Ying made the concubine feel angry. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if to suppress the gasp that was about to come out. She knew that she had been completely embarrassed today, and she could no longer raise her head in front of Li Qingge.

Li Qingge saw through the thoughts of the two concubines. She sneered, with a bit of sarcasm and contempt in her voice: "Gold is tacky, but my surname is Jin. Your concubine thinks that I am tacky and unworthy." Enter the harem?" As soon as these words came out, the concubine almost fainted as if she had been struck by lightning. She knew that she had completely offended Li Qingge today, and it would be extremely difficult to restore the situation.

When the queen saw this scene, she was secretly glad. She knew that Li Qingge was not an easy person to please, but her fairness and principle were admirable. She believed that under the leadership of Li Qingge, the harem would become more harmonious and peaceful. So, she stepped forward with a smile and broke the awkward situation: "Your Majesty is right, let's continue admiring the chrysanthemums, and don't let these trivial matters affect our mood." Her voice was gentle and kind, as if she was comforting Li Qingge was also reminding other concubines to restrain themselves.

Li Qingge nodded after hearing this. She knew the queen's intentions and was grateful for her thoughtfulness. So she cheered up again and continued to admire the garden full of chrysanthemums. Although those chrysanthemums were still beautiful, there was more emotion and thought in her heart. She knows that it is not easy to gain a foothold in this harem, but she will use her wisdom and courage to face all challenges and difficulties.

As time goes by, the sun gradually sets in the west, and the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden look even more colorful under the sunset. Accompanied by the Queen, Li Qingge slowly walked out of the Imperial Garden. She looked back at the chrysanthemums still swaying in the wind, and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She knew that although these chrysanthemums were beautiful, they could not retain their beauty forever. Likewise, life is the same, no matter how brilliant it is, it will eventually come to an end. But even so, she will still cherish every moment in front of her and feel the beauty and true meaning of life with her heart.

When the Autumn Chrysanthemums and Golden Osmanthus bloom

The autumn breeze is blowing gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness. The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, with golden yellow, snow white and lavender intertwining to form a gorgeous autumn color. . However, in the midst of this beautiful scenery, there was a person lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face. It was your concubine. She was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, but at this moment she was like a lost dog, with no dignity at all.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I definitely didn't mean that. I just felt tired of wearing gold jewelry for a long time and wanted to change it to something fresh. I really didn't mean to despise gold. I beg your Majesty to understand clearly!" The voice was filled with tears, trembling and echoing in every corner of the imperial garden. She knew very well that Queen Dayan's mood was related to the relationship between the two countries. If it was misunderstood as intentional disrespect, Emperor Qianlong would definitely deal with it severely. By then, her life might not be saved.

Li Qingge stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes. She was wearing an elegant plain dress with fluttering skirts, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face is delicate and refined, and her eyebrows reveal an indescribable noble temperament. Seeing her concubine in such embarrassment, she didn't pay much attention and just frowned slightly.

"Get up, stop crying." Li Qingge's voice was cold and calm, as if he didn't take this matter to heart. She turned to the queen and said, "There are so many people talking here, why don't we go for a walk."

When the queen heard this, she was surprised and happy. She held Nanny Rong's hand and followed Li Qingge, and the three of them walked slowly towards the depths of the Royal Garden. When the other concubines saw this posture and knew they couldn't follow, they stopped and watched from a distance until they were far away.

Your concubine knelt on the ground for a long time, until she could no longer see Li Qingge's shadow, and then she reluctantly stood up. Her face was as white as paper, as if she had just been seriously ill. The surrounding concubines gathered around and comforted her.

"Queen Dayan's momentum is so strong, she is even more frightening than the Emperor." Concubine Ying said breathlessly, a trace of awe flashed in her eyes.

"Her aura gave even the emperor a headache." Concubine Shu also looked frightened. She tightly grasped the hand of the palace maid next to her, as if seeking some comfort.

Concubine Yu is straightforward and loves beautiful people. She smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of such a beautiful person? I feel quite close to her." Her eyes were shining with admiration, as if she didn't Keep Li Qingge’s majesty in mind.

Wanbi has an indifferent personality. She said slowly: "Her beauty is simply unlike anything in the world. I have followed the emperor for so many years and I have seen many beauties, but I have never seen such a beautiful one." Her tone There was a hint of emotion and envy in it.

Concubine Qing also sighed: "Among us, your concubine is considered good-looking, but compared with Queen Dayan, she is like dust compared to the moon." Although this is a bit exaggerated, it still means Li Qingge’s beauty is astonishing.

At this moment, Li Qingge and the Queen had walked to the southeast corner of the Royal Garden and arrived at Jiang Xuexuan. This place is quiet and elegant, a treasure in the harem. There were several crabapple trees in front of the pavilion. Although it was not the time to bloom now, Li Qingge seemed to be able to imagine what the crabapples looked like in the past. The red begonia flowers were blown by the wind, and the petals fell down, leaving red "snow" all over the ground. That's how the name of this pavilion came about.

The queen looked at Li Qingge's back and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart. She felt that Li Qingge's eyebrows looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that there was an indescribable resemblance between the two people's eyebrows. The queen was not very popular with Qianlong because of her straightforward personality. In addition, as a queen, she had to be dignified and steady, and could not compete for favors and show off like other concubines. As time went by, I even forgot to take a good look in the mirror. Seeing Li Qingge now is like seeing myself in the mirror before.

"Have we met before?" The queen couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt and expectation in her voice.

Li Qingge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "No, my parents are both farmers, how could they enter the palace?" Her voice was clear and sweet, as if it could cleanse people's hearts. of dust.

After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She originally thought that there might be some kind of special fate between herself and Li Qingge, but now it seems that it might just be her wishful thinking.

The two continued walking forward, passing through a bamboo forest, and came to a small bridge. The water under the bridge is gurgling and crystal clear, with several goldfish swimming leisurely in the water. Li Qingge stopped and leaned over to look at the goldfish in the water, with a gentle light shining in his eyes.

"These goldfish are so cute," she said softly, as if talking to the goldfish.

The queen also leaned down and looked at the goldfish in the water: "Yes, they are carefree, so nice."

The two stood quietly on the bridge like this , looking at the goldfish in the water, enjoying this moment of tranquility. The autumn wind gently blew over their faces, bringing a bit of coolness and the fragrance of flowers. In this quiet imperial garden, time seems to slow down.

After a while, Li Qingge straightened up, looked at the queen and said, "Queen, what do you think of this imperial garden?"

The queen smiled slightly: "Of course it's great. The flowers, plants and trees here are carefully taken care of, and everything looks so harmonious and beautiful.”

Li Qingge nodded: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful here. However, I think the most beautiful thing is the human touch here. Although there are many rules and etiquette here, everyone is trying their best to do their own thing and maintain the beauty of this palace. Operation. This kind of spirit is the most rare thing."

After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little moved. She looked at Li Qingge and felt that this woman was not only outstandingly beautiful, but also had a kind and sensitive heart. She seems to be able to see through people's hearts and understand everyone's difficulties and efforts.

"You are right." The queen said softly, "The human touch here is the most precious."

The two continued to walk forward, crossed the small bridge, and came to Arriving at an open meadow. The view here is wide and you can see the palace and the sky in the distance. Li Qingge stopped and took a deep breath of fresh air.

“The air here is so good,” she said, “it makes people feel relaxed and happy.”

The queen also stopped and stood on the grass with Li Qingge. She looked at the palace and the sky in the distance, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She felt as if she had some special connection with this woman. Although they came from different countries, had different identities and backgrounds, there was an indescribable tacit understanding and understanding between them.

"Yes, the air here is so good." The queen repeated, "It makes you feel happy."

The two stood quietly on the grass, enjoying the moment The tranquility and beauty. The autumn wind gently blew over their faces and clothes, bringing a bit of coolness and the fragrance of flowers. In this quiet imperial garden, time seems to slow down. The palace and the sky in the distance look particularly beautiful and peaceful under the setting sun.

I don’t know how long it took before Li Qingge slowly said: "Empress, thank you for walking with me today. I feel very happy." The queen smiled slightly: "I am also very happy. I can be with you. It’s a rare experience to walk and chat.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if their hearts were connected. They know that although they come from different worlds, there is an indescribable friendship and tacit understanding between them. This kind of friendship and tacit understanding will accompany them through the years to come and become the most precious memories in their hearts.

As the sun sets in the west, the sky gradually darkens. Li Qingge and the Queen said goodbye to each other and returned to their respective palaces. But the experiences and feelings of this day will remain in their hearts forever. They know that no matter what happens in the future, they will cherish this rare friendship and tacit understanding and make it the most precious treasure in their lives.

After experiencing this fright, your concubine also became more cautious and careful. She knew her identity and status well and did not dare to offend Li Qingge and the Queen easily again. The friendship and tacit understanding between Li Qingge and the Queen also became a good story in the harem and became the envy of everyone.

Time flies by, and it’s late autumn in a blink of an eye. The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden have all withered, leaving only some dead branches and leaves swaying in the wind. But the friendship between Li Qingge and the Queen is like the frost-beaten chrysanthemum, becoming more and more tenacious and precious. They often meet for walks and chats in the imperial garden, sharing their thoughts and feelings. In this palace full of rules and etiquette, they found their own world and fun.

Two lives are destined to be together, and the love is deep in the harem

The autumn breeze is gentle, with a bit of coolness, but it also stirs up the light dance of the fallen leaves in the imperial garden. The sun shines through the sparse clouds and dapples the stone path, adding a bit of warmth to this late autumn afternoon. The queen was dressed in a luxurious phoenix robe, with gold embroidered edges shining brightly in the sun. She had a straightforward temperament, and there was an undoubted heroic spirit between her brows, but she seemed a little confused at the moment.

"But..." The Queen sighed softly, her eyes falling on Li Qingge beside her. It was an indescribable feeling of familiarity, as if it had transcended the boundaries of time and space and touched the depths of her heart. memory.

Li Qingge smiled slightly, that smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, gentle and mysterious. She was dressed in an elegant plain dress, with fluttering skirts, like a fairy descending to earth. Her eyes were deep and seemed to contain endless wisdom and tenderness. She was staring at the queen at the moment, her eyes full of deep meaning. "Maybe it was fate in the past life." Her voice was soft but firm, like a warm spring breeze blowing away the fog in the queen's heart.

When the queen heard this, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She nodded, with a smile on her lips: "Maybe that's true." There was a bit of relief in her voice, as if she had found something. A long-lost answer.

Nanny Rong stood aside, silently watching this scene. She was wearing dark palace clothes, her face was old and kind, and her eyes shone with wisdom. She glanced at Li Qingge secretly, and a thought flashed through her mind, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a faint worry. However, when she saw that Li Qingge was so kind to the queen, her worries gradually dissipated and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"The fate of the past life will continue in this life. This is not an ordinary fate!" The queen laughed heartily, and the sound was as clear and sweet as a silver bell. She pointed at Aunt Rong and said, "This is my wet nurse, Aunt Rong." Her words were full of trust and dependence on Aunt Rong.

When Aunt Rong heard this, she quickly knelt down and saluted very solemnly: "My slave, please see Her Majesty the Queen of Dayan." There was a bit of awe and gratitude in her voice, as if she was paying tribute to a long-lost friend. .

Li Qingge quickly stretched out his hand to help her up. His movements were gentle and powerful, as if he was lifting up a lost soul. "Mommy, please get up quickly. No need to be polite." Her voice was gentle and kind, which made a warm current surge in Nanny Rong's heart.

Although Grandma Rong is the villain in the play, she is loyal to the Queen. Her whole life revolves around the queen's joys and sorrows, like a lonely lamp in the harem, burning herself without any regrets. At this moment, she saw Li Qingge caring so much for the Queen, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of respect and gratitude in her heart.

Li Qingge went to the theater when he was a child and hated Grandma Rong so much that his teeth itched. However, as she grew older and gained more experience, she gradually understood the truth and realized that many of the plots in those dramas were illogical. She began to re-examine the character of Grandma Rong and found that she was actually a tragic character. I heard that the people who were stabbed by Grandma Rong were all bad people, and netizens even joked: "The people who were stabbed by Grandma Rong were all bad people." This made Li Qingge's impression of Grandma Rong better and better, and even gave him some sympathy and sympathy. admire.

At this moment, Li Qingge's approachability made Grandma Rong feel warm in her heart. She secretly thought: "Everyone in the world says that Queen Dayan is cruel. Now it seems that those rumors are wrong." Her eyes shone with gratitude and admiration, as if she was seeing a whole new world.

Seeing that Li Qingge was so kind to the Queen and herself, Aunt Rong smiled and said: "The first time I saw Her Majesty the Queen's true face, I was so frightened that I thought I was dreaming. Even now Not awake." There was a hint of shyness and surprise in her voice, as if she was sharing her thoughts with a close friend.

Li Qingge smiled and replied: "Life is like a dream. There is no difference between a dream and a dream. The important thing is to make yourself happy." Her voice was gentle but firm, as if she was giving instructions to Grandma Rong. A path in life.

Nanny Rong smiled like a blooming goldenrod. Her smile was full of gratitude and happiness. "My servant often advises your Majesty to relax, but your Majesty always refuses to listen. She even quarreled with the Emperor two days ago over the matter of returning the princess." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice, as if she was confiding herself to Li Qingge. thoughts.

The queen glared at her, with a bit of majesty and dissatisfaction in her eyes: "What are you doing to bring her back the pearl at this time? It's so disappointing!" Her voice revealed her disgust and dissatisfaction with Huanzhu Princess. , as if she was angry at Grandma Rong's gaffe.

"My slave made a mistake. I really deserve death." Aunt Rong apologized quickly, with a hint of fear and self-blame in her voice. She knew the Queen's temper and preferences well, and knew that she had indeed said the wrong thing this time.

However, Li Qingge smiled and waved his hands, the movement was easy and natural. "It's okay, let her talk. There is nothing interesting in the capital, and I also want to hear interesting things in the harem." Her voice was full of curiosity and expectation, as if she was sending an invitation to Grandma Rong.

When the queen heard this, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. She is usually serious and serious and seldom smiles, but for some reason today, she is particularly willing to chat with Li Qingge. She looked at Aunt Rong, her eyes shining with anticipation: "Aunt Rong, Her Majesty the Queen wants to hear something interesting, just tell her something interesting."

Aunt Rong listened. These words are like opening a chat box and starting to tell all kinds of interesting things about Little Yanzi after entering the palace. She spoke in a lively, lively and interesting way, as if she was telling a wonderful story. Her voice is sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and gentle, as if she is painting vivid pictures with her voice.

Although Li Qingge had heard about these things for a long time, he still listened with gusto. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, as if she was enjoying a wonderful drama. She nodded and smiled from time to time, as if cheering for Grandma Rong's story.

As Grandma Rong narrated, the scenery in the Royal Garden seemed to become vivid. The autumn wind gently blew the leaves, making a rustling sound, as if to accompany this wonderful narration. The sun shines through the clouds and onto the stone path, adding a bit of warmth and brightness to this late autumn afternoon.

The queen was also fascinated by what she heard. She sometimes frowned and sometimes raised her face, as if she was worried or happy about what happened to the little swallow. She looked at Li Qingge, her eyes shining with gratitude and admiration, as if she felt lucky to have met such a close friend.

This narration lasted for a long time, until the sun set and a gorgeous sunset appeared on the horizon. Li Qingge and the Queen looked at each other and smiled, their smiles full of satisfaction and happiness. They knew that this encounter was not only a chance encounter, but also a spiritual fit and resonance.

And Grandma Rong also found her own value and meaning in this story. She looked at Li Qingge and the Queen, and felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction in her heart. She knew that although she was just a humble palace maid, she also had her own place in this harem. She will continue to use her loyalty and wisdom to protect the peace and harmony of the queen and the harem.

Origin from two lives, deep love in the palace

The autumn wind rustles, picking up the lightness of the fallen leaves in the imperial garden. They hover in the air, fall, and eventually return to dust. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, shining with golden light, giving this ancient palace a mysterious and solemn coat.

Nanny Rong stood next to the Queen, angrily telling the story of Huanzhugege. Her face looked a little twisted with anger, and there was deep worry in her eyebrows. Her words were full of defense of the royal bloodline and dissatisfaction with Princess Huanzhu's behavior.

"As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, it is her duty to inquire about Princess Huanzhu's life experience. How can there be any confusion about the blood of the royal family? Unexpectedly, when Princess heard this, she was like My mother cried in front of the emperor as if she had been wronged She was so upset that she helped the concubine to confront the empress many times, which made her chest feel tight with anger!"

Hearing this, Li Qingge frowned involuntarily, and her eyes became deep. As if caught in a whirlpool of thought. She was dressed in an elegant plain dress, with fluttering skirts, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face is delicate, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like autumn water, exuding an otherworldly temperament. At this moment, her heart was filled with worries about Xiao Yanzi.

She knew Xiao Yanzi's situation in her heart. After all, she was not the real Gege. Once the queen exposed her identity, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and she would not be able to escape. Li Qingge's brows were furrowed, as if he could sense the crisis Xiao Yanzi was facing. She knew very well that in this deep palace, every secret could become a deadly weapon.

The queen sighed, her voice echoing in the empty palace, with a bit of helplessness and emotion. She is dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and has pearls on her head, looking dignified and majestic. However, there was an indescribable sadness in her eyes.

"Sometimes I think about it, the position of queen is not so satisfactory. I gave birth to three sons, two of them died in infancy, leaving only one Yongxun. If it were not for his future, I would ...Oh, if I don't say it, it will only increase my worries." The queen's voice was low and hoarse, as if it carried too much weight and sadness.

She shook her head and looked at Li Qingge, her eyes full of love. That love was like the sunshine in spring, warm and genial, making Li Qingge feel the long-lost family affection.

"As I get older, I talk more. Don't be offended by Her Majesty the Queen." The Queen's tone was somewhat apologetic and self-deprecating.

Li Qingge said quickly: "How can I blame you? When I am with you, I feel like my elders are by my side. People sometimes find their parents nagging them, but once they lose them, they can't even listen to them. Here we are." After saying that, her expression became a little sad, as if she was thinking of her deceased parents.

The queen sighed again, her eyes revealing her understanding and sympathy for Li Qingge. "The same is true for Yongxun. If I say a few words, he will stay away. You are about the same age as him, but you can understand your parents' thoughts. If I have a daughter like you, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes. Ah.”

Aunt Rong smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes. Look at her, she looks like a fairy, and she is so considerate. It is really rare in the world." Aunt Rong's words were full of emotion. Praise and love for Li Qingge. There was a sincere appreciation in her eyes, as if she was seeing a rare treasure.

Li Qingge smiled sheepishly, her face flushed with shyness. "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Although my parents were very good, it was a pity that they passed away early. As the saying goes, 'A tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; a child wants to be raised but cannot be kissed'. Now I am a queen, but it is no longer possible to be filial to them." There was a hint of sadness and regret in Li Qingge's voice.

After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but feel sentimental. She held Li Qingge's hand, which was warm and strong, as if conveying a silent strength and comfort.

"My child, there is no resurrection, but you have to believe that their spirits in heaven will be proud and happy for you." The queen's voice was gentle but firm, as if she was pointing out a way forward for Li Qingge.

After a while, the queen remembered something and asked, "I heard that the Jin family are not your biological parents?" There was concern and curiosity in her eyes.

Li Qingge nodded, her eyes becoming deep and distant. "Yes. Although they are not my biological parents, my adoptive parents treat me like their own daughter, and their kindness is deeper than blood relatives. When I come to the capital this time, in addition to taking my aunt back to my hometown, I also want to bring glory to my adoptive parents. Relocation and burial." Li Qingge's voice was filled with determination and gratitude.

The queen deeply agreed: "The gift of childbirth is important, but the gift of raising is even deeper. You are right to do this! You are not only a filial daughter, but also a loving and righteous queen." The queen's voice was full of appreciation and admiration for Li Qingge.

The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more congenial, as if they had forgotten each other's status and hatred of country and family. They are like two ordinary friends, sharing each other's thoughts and experiences. In this deep palace, such time is particularly precious and rare.

Nanny Rong was very happy to see her master and Li Qingge so close. She stood aside and watched this scene silently, with a relieved smile on her face. Ever since the queen's appointment, she had never seen her master laugh so heartily. This made her feel very happy and satisfied.

However, there was also a deep worry hidden in Grandma Rong's heart. She was worried every day about the battle in the harem, the stability of the queen's position, and the safety of Yong Cang. She was afraid that Yongzhen would make the same mistake as the Fifth Princess and the Thirteenth Prince and become a victim of the palace struggle. At the same time, she was also worried that the queen and Li Qingge would offend Emperor Qianlong if they got too close, causing unnecessary trouble and danger to the queen and Yong Cang.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the sunset had disappeared into the sky, replaced by a deep night sky. Dots of lights lit up in the palace, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this ancient building.

As a foreign guest, Li Qingge should not stay in the harem for a long time. She stood up and said goodbye to the queen, with a hint of reluctance and nostalgia in her voice. "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time for me to say goodbye. It's a great honor for me to have a pleasant chat with you today."

The queen said reluctantly: "I don't know what to say goodbye to you today. When can we meet again? You must take care of yourself and look forward to our next meeting." The queen's voice was filled with sadness and expectation.

Li Qingge nodded, saluted the Queen and Aunt Rong, then turned and left. Her figure gradually disappeared in the night, leaving only a series of crisp footsteps echoing.

The Queen and Aunt Rong watched Li Qingge leave, their hearts filled with blessings and concern for her. In this deep palace, they seemed to have found a trace of warmth and comfort, which came from the sincerity and kindness of a foreign queen. And this friendship will be treasured in their hearts forever.
