Chapter 69
The Queen Mother sat on the carved rosewood chair, her brows furrowed, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She was caressing a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and every stroke seemed to express her displeasure. Emperor Qianlong stood aside with a firm expression, trying his best to deal with the marriage between Erkang and Ziwei. His eyes were full of love, a kind of deep love for his daughter and adopted daughter, as if nothing in the world could stop his determination to pave the way to happiness for them.
"Mother, I know that you are dissatisfied with Erkang's betrothal to Ziwei, but please believe that the two of them truly love each other. Although Ziwei is not my biological child, I regard her as my own. How can I Can you not think about her?" Qianlong's voice was low and firm, and every word revealed his love for Ziwei.
The Queen Mother sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Emperor, you love them, don't the Ai family know? It's just a matter of marriage, how can it be trivial? Erkang is a warrior of our Qing Dynasty. Although Ziwei is good, her identity..."< br>
"Queen mother, status and status are important, but what the sons and ministers value more is their happiness. Ziwei is kind, intelligent, and has the same temperament as Erkang, and the sons and ministers believe that they will grow old together." Qianlong interrupted the Queen Mother. , his tone was full of determination.
However, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei failed to understand Qianlong's painstaking efforts. Instead of being grateful for this deep fatherly love, they went behind Qianlong and the Queen Mother's backs and helped Meng Dan and Hanxiang meet secretly, and even helped them elope. This behavior undoubtedly stabbed Qianlong and the Queen Mother in the heart.
That day, the sun was just right and the fragrance of flowers overflowed in the Imperial Garden. However, Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei took advantage of this beautiful time to secretly meet Meng Dan and Hanxiang near Kunning Palace. They looked nervous and excited, as if they were going on a great adventure. However, all this was seen by Li Qingge, and her heart was filled with anger and disappointment.
Li Qingge, the princess of the Qing Dynasty, received strict court education since she was a child. She knew the etiquette, justice and integrity, and she also understood how important the royal face was. How could she not be angry when she saw Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei betraying Qianlong in this way? What's more, she herself has experienced emotional ups and downs and knows that love is not easy, but even so, she has never thought of betraying her family.
"How could they do this? The emperor is so kind to them, but they..." Li Qingge's heart was filled with anger and confusion. She held the fan in her hand tightly, as if to calm down her inner feelings. waves.
And what about Qianlong? Although he is an emperor, he would rather be stabbed ten times outside than be stabbed in the back by his relatives. This kind of heartache is incomprehensible to outsiders. When he paid a private visit incognito and met the Du family by throwing embroidery balls to choose their son-in-law, he originally just wanted to experience civilian life, but he did not expect to encounter such a ridiculous thing.
That day, the Du family's hydrangea table was filled with people and excitement. For the purpose of his daughter's marriage, Mr. Du specially organized this activity of throwing embroidered balls to choose his son-in-law. However, when the hydrangea was about to fall, Qianlong ignored Du Ruolan's feelings and forced the hydrangea into the hands of the beggar named Qi Zhigao.
When Mr. Du saw this scene, his face turned livid instantly. How could he be willing to marry his precious daughter to a beggar? However, Qianlong asked seriously: "Zhigao, why did you end up in this situation?"
Zhigao replied with a bitter face: "Back to the emperor, I was originally a scholar, but because of the exam, He always failed in the exams and ended up in this situation." After saying that, he squeezed out a few tears in an attempt to win Qianlong's sympathy.
However, when Li Qingge saw this scene, his heart was filled with anger. She thought to herself: "Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only one that is high. How noble was the status of scholars in ancient times? Even if Zhigao failed to pass the examination, he would not be a beggar, right? With his ability to read and write, he could still make a living. After all, he is still lazy and self-destructive!"
What about Xiao Yanzi and the others? They claim to be anti-feudal and reject arranged marriages, but in reality? Don’t they hate the poor and love the rich, relying on their power to force others? He just married Mr. Du's daughter to that good-for-nothing Zhigao. Compared with feudal arrangements, their behavior is even more disgusting!
The more Li Qingge thought about it, the angrier she became. She really couldn't bear what Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei did. Not only did they betray Qianlong and the Queen Mother, they also bullied the innocent Miss Du. Miss Du is so beautiful and has a good background, but she ends up marrying such a guy. Her whole life will be ruined!
Li Qingge originally hated Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei, but now that he and the Queen have known each other, from the Queen's point of view, they are becoming more and more distasteful to them. She felt that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were simply two scourges, and they would not be enough for the people to get angry if they were not eliminated!
However, Li Qingge did not want to be like these juniors. She felt that her identity and status were there, and arguing with them would only lower her status. But if they commit suicide on their own, that's a different matter.
The queen saw Li Qingge's face was gloomy and uncertain, with disgust written on his face, and she couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart. She thought: "Xiaowu and I are really connected as mother and daughter, and we all hate the same people." At this time, Aunt Rong hurried in and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, I have inquired clearly, it is Huanzhugege who is here." There is trouble outside Kunning Palace "
When the queen heard this, she frowned and said coldly: "Is it her again? Is she going to make trouble? Let's go and see what she is doing!" , she got up and walked outside Kunning Palace.
Li Qingge also followed closely. She wanted to see what tricks Xiao Yanzi would play this time. When they came outside Kunning Palace, they saw Xiao Yanzi playing with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, completely losing their previous dignity and stability.
When the queen saw this scene, her face turned livid instantly. She said angrily: "Little Yanzi! What are you doing here? Come in here!" Her voice was full of majesty and anger, which frightened Xiao Yanzi and the palace maids and eunuchs.
When Xiao Yanzi saw the Queen and Li Qingge coming, she couldn't help feeling a little panicked. She knew she was in trouble again this time, but she didn't want to admit defeat in front of them. So, she pretended to be calm and said: "Empress, I am just here to play around with the maids and eunuchs, and I didn't do anything bad."
"Joking? Are you joking? ? "Look at what you're like? How can you still look out of place?" the queen said angrily. She really couldn't stand Xiao Yanzi's wanton behavior.
Li Qingge also said coldly: "Little Yanzi, don't think that because the emperor is pampering you, you can be unscrupulous. Don't forget, this is the Qing Palace, not a place where you can run wild!" She The voice was full of indifference and majesty, which made Xiao Yanzi feel a little scared.
When Xiao Yanzi saw that both the Queen and Li Qingge were so angry, she couldn't help feeling regretful. She knew that she had indeed gone too far this time, but she did not want to bow in front of them. So, she gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "I know that I was wrong. Please forgive the Queen and Princess Li Qingge."
However, her apology was not forgiven by the Queen and Li Qingge. They know that people with Xiao Yanzi's character will change their ways only if they are truly taught a lesson. So, the queen said coldly: "Little Yanzi, your behavior this time is really too presumptuous. I have decided to punish you by going to the Laundry Bureau to wash clothes for a month as a punishment!"
Little Yanzi heard this This punishment made me feel a little scared. She knew what kind of place the Huanyi Bureau was. There were rough ladies and eunuchs living there, and the living conditions were extremely poor. However, she did not dare to resist the queen's decision, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
When Li Qingge saw Xiao Yanzi being sent to the clothing bureau, he didn't feel the slightest sympathy in his heart. She felt that Xiao Yanzi had brought this upon herself, and if she had been able to stay on her own terms, she would not have ended up like this.
However, things did not end there. Although Xiao Yanzi suffered a lot of hardship and fatigue during her time in the Huanyi Bureau, she did not change her ways. On the contrary, she resented the Queen and Li Qingge even more. She felt they were deliberately torturing and humiliating her.
So, she began to secretly plot a revenge plan. She wanted to let the Queen and Li Qingge know that her little Yanzi was not so easy to bully! However, what she didn't know was that her behavior had completely angered the Queen and Li Qingge. They decided to teach Xiao Yanzi a profound lesson and let her know what the majesty and rules of the royal family are!
A palace turmoil begins...and in this turmoil, where will the fate of Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei go? Can they truly understand what love is, what responsibility is, and what royal dignity is? All of this will be revealed in the days to come...
The sun shines slantingly on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, shining with dazzling light, but it cannot shine into the haze in the queen's heart. She was sitting in the main hall of Kunning Palace, her face was haggard, and there was a hint of unnoticeable worry between her brows. Recently, she was lying in bed due to illness and knew very little about the turmoil in the outside world. However, she did not expect that a burst of noise would break this rare tranquility today.
"I have been recuperating in the palace recently and have never provoked her. How could I be so noisy outside?" The queen whispered to herself, with a bit of confusion and helplessness in her voice. She looked out the window, as if trying to find answers in the sky surrounded by high walls.
Mother Rong hurriedly walked in, her face full of anxiety: "My Lady, it's Huanzhugege who keeps shouting there, saying that you have bullied Wei Guiren and you must come to ask for an explanation."< br>
When the queen heard this, her face instantly turned livid. She slammed the table and said angrily: "When did I ever bully that lowly woman? She clearly made the emperor angry herself, and she framed me in turn. It's really unreasonable! "Her voice echoed in the empty palace, with unconcealable anger and unwillingness.
Seeing this, Grandma Rong quickly consoled her: "The queen is angry, she has a wild temper, and she is good at martial arts. Even the little eunuchs can't stop her. Do you want to call the guards to stop her?"
< br>The Queen was about to nod when suddenly, a sharp shout came from outside the palace. , broke the tranquility in the room: "Queen, come out! You are very good at bullying others, why don't you dare to show up? Stop hiding inside, I know you are here!"
This The sound was sharp and harsh, like a sharp blade, piercing the Queen's heart. She was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she clenched her fingers tightly on the edge of the table, as if to suppress the anger in her heart.
At this time, Li Qingge couldn't help laughing. She was wearing an elegant palace dress, with a delicate face and a bit of cunning in her eyes. She thought to herself: "Isn't this Aunt Xue's line? Why did Xiao Yanzi learn it?" After thinking about it, she remembered that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and "Love is Deep and Rainy" are both about the mysterious QY As written, the lines are similar and make sense.
Li Qingge's laughter seemed particularly abrupt in the tense atmosphere. The queen glared at her and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Why don't you think of a way to solve this problem quickly!"
Li Qingge, however, seemed very calm. She waved her hand gently and said, "It doesn't hurt to ask her to come in. With me here, let's see who dares to act wild in Kunning Palace." Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
Although Grandma Rong has never seen Li Qingge take action, she knows that her martial arts skills are so strong that even Fu Heng and his son are no match for her, let alone Xiao Yanzi. So, she took the order and left, telling the little eunuch to let him go.
After a while, Xiao Yanzi broke free from the restraints and kicked Grandma Rong to the ground. Grandma screamed in pain and couldn't get up for a long time. Xiao Yanzi sneered, wearing flowerpot-soled shoes, and quickly rushed into Kunning Palace. Her figure was like a strong wind, stirring up the dust in the palace and the anger in the queen's heart.
"Queen, why are you so vicious! How can your concubine be sorry for you, why do you want to bully her like this?" Xiao Yanzi's voice came before the person arrived. She rushed into the hall and immediately saw the queen sitting on the throne and Li Qingge standing beside her.
Xiao Yanzi's eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction. She didn't expect that her kind intention to seek justice for Mr. Wei would encounter such obstacles. She glared at the Queen as if she wanted to pour all her anger on her.
The queen looked at Xiao Yanzi coldly, her voice as cold as frost: "I bullied her? What a joke! Doesn't she know what good things she has done?" There was something in her eyes. A kind of disgust and contempt that cannot be concealed.
When Little Yanzi heard this, he became even more furious. She pointed at the queen's nose and said angrily: "Stop pretending! Your concubine already said that you sent people to release snakes in her palace, which scared her almost to death! You still said you didn't bully her?" The sound was sharp and harsh, like a sharp blade, piercing the Queen's heart.
The queen was so angry that she turned livid. She slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare you! How dare you be so rude! Come, take her down!" Her voice was in the air. echoed in the palace, with anger and majesty that could not be concealed.
However, at this moment, Li Qingge stepped out gently and stood between Xiao Yanzi and the Queen. Her eyes revealed a kind of indifference and determination: "Wait a minute. Queen, why are you so angry? Although Xiao Yanzi is reckless, she also has good intentions. Why don't we listen to her first and then make a decision." Her The voice was soft but firm, like a warm current, warming the tense atmosphere in the hall.
The queen glared at Li Qingge and said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to speak for her?" Her eyes revealed a kind of hostility and dissatisfaction that could not be concealed.
Li Qingge smiled slightly and said: "I don't want to speak for her, I just feel that there is always a right and a wrong in everything. If the Empress really has a clear conscience, why should she be afraid of her little qualms? "Her voice was soft but firm, like a force that made the queen unable to refute.
The queen was speechless by Li Qingge's words. She glared at Xiao Yanzi and said angrily: "Okay! I will listen to what you say! But if you dare to talk nonsense, I will never take it lightly. Spare you!" Her voice was as cold as frost, as if it would freeze the little swallow in place.
Little Yanzi was not afraid. She stared at the queen and said loudly: "What I said is all the truth! Your concubine told me personally. She also said that you sent people to harass her many times. , Let her have no peace! How can a person like you deserve to be the queen?" Her voice was sharp and harsh, like a sharp blade, piercing the queen's heart. However, at this moment, a gentle but firm voice came from outside the hall: "That's enough! Little Yanzi, please stop talking!" This voice, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, instantly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the hall. Everyone followed the sound and saw Lady Wei slowly walking into the hall. Her face was haggard, but her eyes revealed a kind of determination and bravery.
She walked to Xiao Yanzi and said softly: "Xiao Yanzi, thank you for standing up for me. However, some things are not what you think. The Queen did not bully me, and those things were all misunderstandings. Don't mess with her anymore. Trouble." Her voice was soft but firm, like a force that made Xiao Yanzi unable to refute.
Little Yanzi stared at Wei Guiren with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears. She asked: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? But...but she said you..." Her voice trembled, revealing a kind of surprise and disappointment that could not be concealed.
Guiren Wei gently patted Xiao Yanzi on the shoulder and said, "It's true. Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Although the Queen is strict, she also thinks about the overall situation. Don't Don't misunderstand her again." There was a gentleness and firmness in her eyes that seemed to be able to resolve all misunderstandings and conflicts.
Xiao Yanzi froze in place after hearing what Guiren Wei said. She looked at the queen and then at Li Qingge, as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, she took a deep breath and said: "Okay! I believe what your concubine said. But, empress, you can't bully her anymore! Otherwise, I will never let it go!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if A wave of oaths echoed in the hall.
The queen looked at Xiao Yanzi, with complex emotions welling up in her heart. She didn't expect that this little princess would have such a strong will and courage. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I promise you. I will never bully her again in the future." Although her voice was cold, it revealed a kind of sincerity and commitment that could not be concealed.
This turmoil was quietly resolved with the appearance of Wei Guiren. Although Xiao Yanzi was a little reluctant, she could only accept this fact. She glared at the queen, then turned and left. Her figure was like a strong wind, stirring up the dust in the palace and the waves in the queen's heart.
Li Qingge, on the other hand, stood quietly aside, watching all this happen. There was a kind of indifference and wisdom in her eyes. She knew that although the storm had been temporarily resolved, the undercurrent behind it was far from calming down. She took a deep breath and thought to herself: "It seems that there are more secrets and twists and turns in this palace, waiting for me to uncover them."
The sun once again fell on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, Shining with dazzling light. And in Kunning Palace, peace and harmony were restored because of the resolution of the storm. However, how long can this tranquility and harmony last? No one knows. Only the high palace walls silently witnessed all these occurrences and changes.
Xiao Yanzi’s temper has always been ignitable, how can he be someone who can be angered? On this day, the sun shines through the clouds and shines mottledly on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, but it cannot dispel the coming storm in Kunning Palace.
Hey, she didn’t even ask clearly what Emperor Qianlong meant. As if driven by an invisible force, she rushed to the splendid but undercurrent Kunning Palace and went directly to find him. The queen went to settle accounts. Her steps were firm and her eyes shone with an unmistakable light, as if she was a warrior about to fight for justice.
The queen is sitting in the palace, wearing a luxurious phoenix robe and pearls on her head. Her face is dignified, but she can't hide the tiredness in her eyes. Seeing Xiao Yanzi looking for trouble inexplicably, her phoenix eyes suddenly widened and she said angrily: "When did I bully the Wei Jia family? Don't slander me. This is Kunning Palace, not a place for you to act wild!"
< br>Little Yanzi was unwilling to give up. She imitated other people's parallelism, her words were sharp, and her anger was rising. : "Still want to quibble? If it weren't for you, would your concubine have ended up in this situation? You are so ruthless, cruel, and hateful! Your heart is probably a bit colder than the ice in the winter. !”
As she spoke, she clenched her fingers into fists, her fingertips turning slightly white with anger, as if she wanted to pour out all her dissatisfaction and anger. The queen was so angry that she trembled with anger at her series of accusations. She swayed and sat down on the chair behind her. Her delicate phoenix robe was slightly wrinkled due to her emotional fluctuations.
"Your concubine is favored by the emperor. You are jealous of the love between husband and wife, and you also borrowed the help of Dayan and Nvwa (Queen of Dayan, this fictional character is like a superior god in the story, possessing power that cannot be underestimated. (Strength) harmed her, you...you..." Xiao Yanzi stamped her feet anxiously, and the floor tiles under her feet seemed to tremble slightly under her anger. She pointed at the queen's nose, her voice slightly sharp due to excitement, "You are too cruel! Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Li Qingge, who was standing aside, dressed in elegant palace clothes, quietly said He stood with a calm smile on his face, but his heart was as uncomfortable as the sea. She thought to herself, was the relationship between Qianlong and Wei really that deep? From the secret history of the palace that she knew, Emperor Qianlong's heart seemed to belong only to the Fucha family of the White Moonlight Queen who died young. Their hearts were inseparable, and it was a good story circulated in the palace. And the Wei family is just a nobleman who was promoted from a palace maid. She has not even touched the position of the empress of the palace. She is at most a high-level maid, not even a concubine. How can the deep love between husband and wife come from this? Not to mention what a wife is not a wife.
Li Qingge muttered to himself, but his eyes fell on Xiao Yanzi involuntarily. Looking at her indignant look, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. However, when she turned to look at the queen, her sympathy was instantly replaced by complicated emotions. The Queen, this woman who has sat at the head of the Sixth Palace for many years, the emperor has given her very little sincerity. Nowadays, a girl who was born as a palace maid dares to dream of taking the throne and instigates Princess Huanzhu to go against her. It is really abominable!
The queen was furious. She slapped the armrest suddenly and her voice was deafening: "My merits and demerits will be judged by the emperor. How can you, an illegitimate daughter with no name or status, interrupt me?" When it came out, even Li Qingge was shocked. Although the queen had been harsh before, she had never said such harsh words. However, with the support of her daughter Li Qingge, the Queen has become much more rigid now. It's time to show the Queen's majesty and let those people know that the Lord of the Sixth Palace is not someone to be trifled with.
The queen's sudden severity frightened Xiao Yanzi so much that her face turned pale. She stretched her neck and shouted loudly: "You unpopular old woman, I will never bow to you! If evil is not suppressed, one day the emperor will relegate you to the cold palace!" Her voice echoed in Kunning Palace. It echoed inside, with an unyielding stubbornness.
After hearing this, the queen sneered angrily at first, with endless ridicule in her voice: "Being thrown into the cold palace? Do you want me to make room for the Wei family and let her become the queen? Humph, it's a dream. Go, it's impossible in this life!" Her eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to cut the little swallow into pieces.
"You——" Xiao Yanzi was so angry that her nose became crooked. She had quarreled with the queen before, and she always got the upper hand, making the queen half-dead angry. Why has the queen become so tough today? Could it be that I took some magic pill? She was confused, but refused to show weakness, and continued to question: "You are a vicious woman, which has caused your concubine to fall out of favor and lose her position. Don't you feel any guilt in your heart? As a queen, you should treat the world like a mother, so why can't you treat your concubine well?" Where is the concubine? She is so kind, beautiful, noble, and gentle, how can you bear to harm her?"
The queen was speechless by what she said, and her face turned red and white, as if someone had stabbed her in a painful spot. Li Qingge, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and looked at this scene with disgust. She thought to herself, how could there be any real distinction between good and evil in this palace? It’s just that everyone is his own master and seeks his own interests. Little Yanzi is so innocent, I am afraid that sooner or later he will suffer in this deep palace.
Seeing the Queen's silence, Xiao Yanzi thought she had the upper hand and became even more complacent: "Your concubine has such a deep and sincere feeling for Huang Ama, just like a fairy. How can you take advantage of others? Harm her? Don't you feel guilty when you see her like this? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Her voice was full of contempt and dissatisfaction with the queen.
The queen remained silent, but the anger in her phoenix eyes grew stronger and stronger. Li Qingge watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There really is no eternal winner in this palace! She shook her head slightly and turned away from this place full of arguments and anger. And the confrontation between Xiao Yanzi and the Queen continues...
"You always use some intrigues and tricks to harm your concubine, force her, threaten her, scare her, you use all kinds of means." Xiao Yanzi. Yanzi's words were filled with endless indignation, and her eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames as she looked directly into the queen's eyes without flinching. Her voice echoed in the empty palace, with a kind of determination and determination, "Ziwei once told me, 'No temple can break a marriage.' Even a small temple can accommodate the emperor and his wife. The concubine’s deep love, our palace is as big as a maze, why can’t we accommodate a concubine?”
Once a girl like Xiao Yanzi is in love, she thinks that as long as the relationship is deep, no obstacles will be a problem. . Her heart is full of persistence and belief in love. Even if it goes against ethics and morals and the world's eyes, she feels that love can conquer everything. Her face was full of determination and unyielding, and her bright eyes shone with longing and hope for the future. This is also the reason why she helps her master Meng Dan do those things, because in her opinion, love is supreme and worth all she has to do for it.
However, what Xiao Yanzi didn't know was that what the concubine really yearned for was not Qianlong's deep affection, but the supreme power and majesty in the harem. She even forgot about those words that describe the deep love between husband and wife, such as flying together, raising eyebrows together, and becoming a couple. They are all used to describe husband and wife. How had she ever heard that a concubine and her husband could live and die together? These beautiful words seem so pale and feeble in the whirlpool of power that is the palace.
"Your cruelty, viciousness, unreasonableness, and those methods of framing people are really disgusting." Xiao Yanzi's voice trembled with anger, and her hands clenched into fists, as if To pour out all the dissatisfaction and anger And came out, "You ruined your concubine and broke off her relationship with the emperor. Why are you so cruel! God has eyes, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The queen was She was shaking with anger. When had she ever been insulted like this? Her eyes seemed to spurt out blazing anger, looking directly at the little swallow, as if they wanted to devour her. She shouted loudly: "Here comes -" There was endless majesty and anger in her voice.
"The slave is here!" Two burly eunuchs, Balang and Batu, came in in response. They were masters trained privately by the queen. They rushed in immediately upon hearing the call, like two unshakable guardian angels. Their faces were full of loyalty and determination, as if they were ready to go through fire and water for the Queen at any time.
I think back in the second part of "Huanzhugege", the protagonist group was in exile, and the queen sent Balang to hunt them down. However, the halo of the protagonists was too strong, and Balang failed in the end. Now, Xiao Yanzi has returned to the palace, and Balang's whereabouts have been discovered by Yongqi and Erkang. This matter has been revealed. However, this does not affect their loyalty and determination to the Queen.
The queen stood up and said angrily: "Huanzhuge is unfilial and disrespectful. She has offended my aunt. Take me outside and make me kneel for an hour!" There was endless majesty and anger in her voice, as if she wanted to bring down the entire palace. Shocking.
Little Yanzi was stunned. She asked in a trembling voice: "You, you dare to punish me?" Her heart was full of fear and confusion. She never thought that the queen would treat her like this.
The queen sneered, her face full of indifference and determination: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. What can I not dare to do? Execute it quickly!" There was endless coldness and ruthlessness in her voice. , as if to push the little swallow into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Just when Balang and Batu were about to step forward, Xiao Yanzi yelled: "Who dares! I am Princess Huanzhu, the princess personally named by Emperor Amma. Emperor Amma said that I can't do anything in the palace. Bound by etiquette, Queen, if you dare to disobey the imperial edict, I will definitely tell the Emperor!" Her voice was filled with endless determination and determination, as if she wanted to sweep away all obstacles.
The queen hesitated when she heard this. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She knew that Qianlong's anger was beyond her ability, so she did not dare to act rashly. Balang and Batu were also afraid of Qianlong's anger, so they did not dare to act rashly. The entire palace fell into a dead silence, as if even the air was frozen.
At this time, although Grandma Rong's chest was still hurting, when she saw Xiao Yanzi being so arrogant, she angrily covered her chest and walked to the Queen's side. Her face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to pour out all her dissatisfaction. She whispered to the Queen: "My Majesty, we have a princess here, what are you afraid of? And it is Princess who is wrong. Madam, you act according to the rules, there is nothing to be afraid of." There was endless determination and determination in her voice, as if to It's like supporting the queen.
After saying that, she glanced at Li Qingge who was standing aside. After Li Qingge finished sipping the tea, he put down the tea cup and said slowly: "The Queen is the mother of the country, and her dignity cannot be violated. She will handle it according to the law. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up!" There was endless majesty and determination in her voice. , as if to sweep away all obstacles. Her face was full of confidence and determination, as if she was ready to bear all the consequences for the queen.
Undercurrents under the reassurance
Li Qingge's words were like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, penetrating the haze in the queen's heart and bringing her a rare comfort. The queen's originally tense face gradually relaxed, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and pearls on her head. She sat on a high phoenix throne like an inviolable statue. However, her eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion - both pride for her daughter and disdain for Xiao Yanzi.
The queen was thinking: My daughter is the queen of Dayan. Even the emperor is in awe of her for her wisdom and courage. You little Yanzi, you are just a mere princess, what do you mean? Taking care of you is a piece of cake for me. Thinking of this, the queen's eyes became more determined, as if she had seen the day when Xiao Yanzi was defeated.
So, the queen shouted angrily: "The emperor has granted you so many princesses and princesses that you can't count them. Who are you? Yes, the emperor did grant you permission not to be bound by etiquette in the palace, but that doesn't make you rude." Offended, hit me in the middle of the palace Lord. Men take care of things outside, and women take care of the inner house. When it comes to the harem, I am the mistress here. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, I will definitely teach you a lesson." Her voice echoed in the hall. An unquestionable majesty.
After saying that, she looked at Balang and Batu standing aside, her eyes revealing an irresistible order. Balang and Batu are tall men with resolute faces. They are masters trained by the Queen in private. When they heard the queen's order, they immediately responded and approached Xiao Yanzi from left to right.
Although Xiao Yanzi is not very good at martial arts, his body skills are extremely flexible. Seeing Balang and Batu approaching, she twisted her waist slightly and escaped from their grasp. Her figure was like a dancing butterfly, moving freely through the hall. However, Balang and Batu were concerned about her identity and did not dare to really hurt her, so they showed mercy. But seeing how stubborn she was, the two of them became ruthless. They grabbed her shoulders and arms and dragged her out of the hall like a puppy.
Outside the hall, the cold wind was biting, and the biting cold hit my face. Xiao Yanzi was forced to kneel on the ground by Balang and Batu. When her knees touched the cold ground, she felt pain as if she had been pricked by a needle. She struggled to stand up, but Balang kicked her knees hard. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand, and her legs fell to the ground involuntarily.
While struggling, Xiao Yanzi cursed angrily: "Queen, you old witch, how dare you do this to me, Huang Ama will never let you go if she finds out!" Her voice was filled with tears. , but revealed an unyielding stubbornness. Her bright eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, as if they were going to ignite this cold winter day.
Li Qingge looked on with cold eyes, a sneer on his lips. She winked at Nanny Rong and said, "Ignorant little girl, Nanny Rong, give her a few injections to wake her up." Her voice was cold and decisive, as if she was dealing with something trivial. Little things.
Mama Rong has long been resentful of Xiao Yanzi's arrogance and domineering behavior, and she was kicked by her just now, which made her teeth itch with hatred. Now that she had received Li Qingge's instructions, as if she had received an imperial edict, she took out a few slender silver needles from her sleeves, aimed at the fleshy part of the little swallow, and pierced it hard.
“Ah——” Little Yanzi screamed in pain, the sound was like killing a pig, and the face was distorted. She had never experienced such pain, and tears instantly burst into her eyes. She struggled to escape from Grandma Rong's grasp, but her hands were tightly held by Batu, unable to move at all.
Aunt Rong said coldly: "Huanzhugege, this is the consequence of your contempt for the palace and disrespect of your aunt. Today I am just giving you a small lesson. I hope you can remember this lesson in the future. Don't do it again." Her voice was cold and majestic, as if she was pronouncing Xiao Yanzi's crime.
Xiao Yanzi remembered that in the second part of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she ran away from home, accidentally entered the wolf's den, and was trapped in the Hanxuan Chess Club. At that time, she couldn't even make her succumb to those vicious and evil couples, let alone this physical pain? She was furious and shouted: "You slaves, how dare you do this to me, Emperor Ama will never let you go if she finds out!" Her voice echoed in the cold air, with a sense of determination and peace. Unwilling to do so.
