Chapter 111
She knew Qianlong’s temper very well. If he were asked to choose his own title, he would definitely choose some extremely exaggerated and shameless words. At that time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty would think that this was what she meant, and that she was in cahoots with Qianlong, vulgar and narcissistic. She didn't want to bear such a reputation.
Qianlong frowned and said, "I have already given you the country. Why not choose a beautiful title for yourself?"
"You gave me the country of the Qing Dynasty. I'm unlucky to be forced to accept this mess. Look at the north. City construction, look at the ministers in the court, and the lives of the people. If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed even if I don't take action." When Li Qingge said this, he gritted his teeth and glared at Qianlong, as if he wanted to kill him. The hypocrisy and selfishness in my heart are all revealed.
"Yes, I admit that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty does have many unsatisfactory qualities, but after all, it is the foundation of our ancestors. I have given up so many elder brothers to give you the throne. Isn't my sincerity enough?" Qianlong's There was a hint of grievance in his voice.
"Haha, you are afraid that I will send my army to the north and destroy the Qing Dynasty just like the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. The royal family will be slaughtered and the Aixinjueluo family will be cut off, so you have to rely on blood relations to pass the throne to me. After all, you I still care about my family and my face, and I don’t want to be the king of a subjugated country and be laughed at by future generations." Li Qingge angrily tore off Qianlong's disguise and pointed out his plan to the point.
Qianlong's face turned blue and white, and he said with a smile: "Oh, it's just a title, so what's the harm in giving it to me?"
Li Qingge rolled his eyes, revealing in his tone Showing disdain: "You only have so much talent to learn." , what serious title can I get?"
Qianlong was unhappy and retorted: "I am very talented and learned. Look at the titles of the concubines in the harem, they are all very beautiful." However, his retort came from Li Qingge. It seems so pale and feeble.
Li Qingge's words were like a barrage of words, each word was sharp and pointed directly at the bottom of Qianlong's heart. Her bright eyes shone with wisdom, and there was a touch of sarcasm hanging on the corner of her mouth, as if she could expose all hypocrisy and injustice. Qianlong sat aside, silent. Although his face was calm, his heart was already turbulent.
"Stop! I heard that when Keliete gave birth to the fifth elder brother, you issued an edict to promote her to the position of concubine because of her meritorious service in raising the prince. When you were happy, you named her 'Concubine Yu'. You treated Ye Hena When La Shi was satisfied, he named her "Shu Fei". Looking at the title given to the Queen Mother by the late emperor, there are some past events. It's dark, but the future is bright, so I named her 'Concubine Xi'. If I were to change my position and see a bright and bright future, I'm afraid you would have named the Queen Mother 'Concubine Xi'." As soon as Li Qingge finished speaking, the whole situation changed. The palace seemed to be shocked by her momentum, and even the air became solemn.
Qianlong's eyes stayed on Li Qingge for a moment, with a mixture of helplessness and admiration in his eyes. He knew that this woman was not only extremely smart, but also had an indomitable tenacity. He sighed softly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "In addition to the posthumous title, the title is very important. You have to choose a good word. While you are free now, can you choose first?"
Qianlong Before he finished speaking, Li Qingge started laughing, with a hint of cunning and pride in his smile. She thought for a moment and then said, "How about using the word 'pure'?" Her voice was clear and sweet, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
When Qianlong heard this, his face suddenly turned livid. The Pure Emperor? If such a title spreads out, he will be laughed out of the world! He suppressed his anger and looked at Li Qingge with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
Seeing this, Li Qingge was secretly proud. She knew that Qianlong would never accept such a title, but she just wanted to see him angry. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and showed a proud smile: "Forget it, I'm just kidding you. I have already thought of your honorific title, let's call it 'Yuan Shou'."
Qianlong was stunned. He did not expect that Li Qingge would suddenly change his attitude and give him such a stable title. He looked at her doubtfully and asked: "Yuanshou? How did you think of these two words?"
Li Qingge chuckled and explained: "Isn't Yuanshou your nickname? These two words The meaning of the word is very good, and it is very suitable to be used as a title." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if it could calm the anger in Qianlong's heart.
When Qianlong heard this, he felt inexplicably moved in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Qingge would know his nickname, let alone that she would use it to give him a title. He looked at her with a complicated light flashing in his eyes, as if he was looking at someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"How do you know my nickname is Yuan Shou?" Qianlong couldn't help but ask. This question has been bothering him, and he wants to know how Li Qingge learned this secret.
Li Qingge smiled and shook his head: "The Queen Mother didn't tell me. I learned about it through special channels. Not only your royal secrets, but also the dirty things in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty can be concealed. Me." There was a kind of confidence and pride in her voice, as if she was the person who knew Qianlong best in the world.
Qianlong couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart after hearing this. He knew that Li Qingsing was very talented, but he didn't expect that she was so powerful and could even find out all his secrets. He looked at her with an indescribable fear and awe in his heart.
At this moment, Balang rushed in in a panic, breaking the tranquility in the palace. He looked nervous and said in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, something bad has happened. Something happened in Cining Palace!"
As soon as these words came out, both Qianlong and Li Qingge's expressions changed. They knew that Cining Palace was the residence of the Queen Mother, and if something happened there, the consequences would be disastrous. Qianlong stood up suddenly and asked sternly: "What happened?"
Balang said with a sad face: "The Queen was beaten."
"What did you say? The Queen was beaten, Who did it? How audacious!" Qianlong was furious and his voice was deafening.
"Empress Dowager Lafayette!" Although Balang's voice was low, it was like a thunder exploding in the ears of Qianlong and Li Qingge.
Qianlong's expression changed drastically and he turned to look at Li Qingge. Li Qingge's face was ashen and his eyes were flashing with anger. She stood up suddenly and shouted: "Uncle Shi!"
As she called, a bloody figure appeared in front of her like a ghost. That was her personal bodyguard Shi Shuyu, a man who was strong and extremely loyal.
"Surround Cining Palace and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Li Qingge's voice was cold and firm, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.
When Uncle Shi heard this, he immediately took the order and left. His figure cut through the sky like a bolt of lightning and disappeared outside the palace.
...
Time goes back to before Qianlong and Li Qingge discussed the Zen position. At that time, the queen was preparing to take a lunch break, but she was summoned to Cining Palace by Aunt Gui to give her reply. Although the queen was a little uneasy, she knew that this trip would be dangerous, but she was not afraid. Her daughter has arrived in the Forbidden City. No matter how big the storm is, it cannot shake her in the slightest.
However, from the moment she stepped into Cining Palace, she felt the depressing atmosphere here. The dull air seemed to be able to choke people's breath, making them fearful. She looked up and saw the Queen Mother sitting in the main hall with an angry face. On the left and right sides stood the embarrassed and resentful Princess He Jing and the paunchy, smiling but cold-eyed concubine.
The queen's heart sank, she knew that today's storm was probably aimed at her. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down the turmoil in her heart, and then stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "I would like to pay my respects to Lafayette. I wish Lafayette a long life and good health."
It stands to reason that after the queen saluted, she paid tribute to the princess and her order. The concubine should bow to her. However, these two people remained indifferent, as if they didn't see it. Although the queen was a little unhappy, she did not show it. She quietly observed the actions of these two people, already guessing something in her mind.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen coldly, with endless anger in her voice: "Queen, you are the master of the harem. If it were not a big deal, I would not call you here."
After saying that, she pointed and saluted Princess, continued: "Today He Jing went to the Royal Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, and I met you unexpectedly. Even if you don't care about the late Empress Xiaoxian, you should still consider the emperor's affection and be a little tolerant of He Jing. Who would have thought that you were so cruel and pushed He Jing out in public, causing her to fall in the imperial garden and her hands were bruised. "
Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Queen sneered in her heart. Murdering the legitimate daughter of the Yuan Dynasty? Such an accusation is so ridiculous! She knew this was a lie deliberately concocted by the Queen Mother to suppress her. She raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, with a firm light in her eyes: "What Lafayette said is wrong. I did not murder Princess He Jing, nor did I push her out. This is entirely because someone is spreading rumors behind my back to cause trouble, in an attempt to undermine me. Concubine’s reputation.”
The Queen Mother was angry when she heard this. She slapped the table uncontrollably: "As a step-in-law, you should treat your first wife's children well! Not only do you not love them, but you harm them! I am really blind, why did I choose you to be my step-mother in the first place!"
Queen An indescribable sadness and indignation welled up in his heart. She knew that the Queen Mother always disliked her and always tried every means to suppress her. But she never thought that the Queen Mother would confuse right and wrong and frame her out of thin air. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down the anger in her heart, and then said: "Old Buddha, please calm down. I know that you have always been dissatisfied with me, but I have never done anything that is sorry to you or the emperor. Today, I know that you have always been dissatisfied with me. I am willing to accept the investigation on this matter and prove my innocence.”
After saying that, she turned to look at Princess Hejing and your concubine, with a cold light in her eyes: "Princess Hejing, your concubine, do you dare to confront me? Let's see who is spreading rumors and causing trouble in this matter today? "
When Princess Hejing and her concubines heard this, their faces suddenly became ugly. They knew that today's storm was deliberately caused by the Queen Mother in order to suppress the Queen, but they did not dare to confront the Queen. Because they know that once confronted, their lies will be exposed.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen's back, and an indescribable anger surged in her heart. She didn't expect the queen to be so cunning and able to easily neutralize her attack. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down the anger in her heart, and then said: "Okay! I will give you this chance! But if you can't find out the truth, don't blame me for being rude!"
Queen Wen As he spoke, a firm belief surged in his heart. She knew this was a battle involving her reputation and status, and she had to fight it with all her might. She turned to look at the Queen Mother, with endless determination in her voice: "Don't worry, Lafayette. I will definitely find out the truth and clear my name!"
Hey, if you think so, then it's okay. How wrong. Deep in the Forbidden City, every word and every look hides turbulent emotions and intrigues.
The queen was sitting on a gorgeous phoenix chair. Her face was as calm as water, but there were unknown waves hidden in it. She was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with the wings of a phoenix, and the golden silk threads shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, as if she was the most powerful being in the harem. She spoke slowly, with a cold and firm voice: "Old Buddha, I did have a problem with Princess He Jing, but there was a reason. It was the princess who was disrespectful to me first, and then made trouble unreasonably and blocked my way. I had no choice but to push her. I What's wrong? I hope Lafayette can understand clearly."
Your concubine stood aside with a sneer on her face, her eyes full of disdain and provocation. She was wearing a lavender flag dress with delicate butterfly patterns embroidered on it. It swayed gently with her movements, as if it would flap its wings and fly away at any time. She said contemptuously: "You murdered the princess, everyone saw it, why are you arguing?"
When the queen heard this, her eyes stern, she stood up suddenly, her voice was as stern as in winter Hanfeng: "I am talking to the Queen Mother , where is it your turn for a concubine to interrupt? You are just a lowly servant girl, how dare you be so presumptuous?"
The concubine was so angry at the queen's words that her chest rose and fell violently, as if at any time. They will all have fetal gas. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if to suppress the anger that was about to come out, and cursed secretly in her heart: When did this Nala bitch become so bitter?
The queen looked at her concubine's reaction, with a proud smile on her lips. She sat back on the phoenix chair again, with an elegant and calm posture: "I have always spoken like this. It's just that due to palace rules, as a queen, I can't speak rudely, so as not to get a reputation for being mean, so I have been holding back until today."
< br>
Princess He Jing stood aside and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty is from a humble background and is really not qualified to interrupt, but I am the legitimate daughter of the Empress Yuan, so I am qualified enough." She was wearing a gorgeous red flag dress with embroidery on it. With complicated gold thread patterns, it looks noble and proud.
The queen replied with a smile: "The princess is a golden child, so she is naturally qualified. But you are a junior, and the elders are talking. It is not appropriate for juniors to interrupt. Otherwise, if word spreads, people will laugh at the royal family for not knowing etiquette, and for being so disrespectful. "A humble daughter."
Princess Hejing was furious at the queen's words. Her eyes widened as if she wanted to spit out fire: "You——"
The concubine scowled and slapped her. He cut off Princess He Jing's words and said: "Queen, it's useless for you to have a lotus tongue. You were jealous of the Emperor's obsession with Queen Xiaoxian, so you attacked the princess. The evidence is conclusive and you can't deny it."
When the queen heard this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and she said disdainfully: "I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. This time, the princess was rude first. Even if I report it to the emperor, I still have a clear conscience."
"Queen, you -" The Queen Mother sat on the high throne, looking at the dispute below, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and anger. She finally couldn't help but shouted angrily, "Queen, I have always known that you have a strong temperament and can't tolerate evil in your eyes, but I didn't expect that you would be so heartless and crazy that you would not even let go of the princess who is harmless to you. No matter how bad the princess is, , I will be the one to discipline you, when will it be your turn as a concubine to meddle in your own business? You really disappoint me."
Princess He Jing felt proud when she heard the Queen Mother's words. She sneered and said, "Queen, you'd better plead guilty now, otherwise it will be too late when Emperor Ama gets angry." She thought to herself: This Nala clan has settled down and has stolen my mother's position for many years. , she must return it today and pay the price.
Your concubine also echoed: "Queen, you are not a sage, how can you have no faults? As long as you are willing to admit your mistakes, considering that you have served the emperor for many years, Lafayette will not have the heart to punish you severely. "
The queen turned a deaf ear, her eyes flashed with determination and determination. She said calmly: "If you want to accuse me, why bother? I am the queen personally appointed by the emperor. If Lafayette wants to depose me, he must have the emperor's will..."
Speaking of this , she showed a strange smile, in that smile Full of confidence and arrogance: "Now the emperor's heart is attached to me, and he is completely obedient and protective of me. Let's make a bet to see if the emperor will abolish me as the queen for the sake of the princess and you?" ”
The Queen Mother was so angry at the Queen's words that her hands shook. She pointed at the Queen's nose and reprimanded: "What a Nala, you are so sharp-tongued and arrogant. Do you really think that no one in the harem can subdue you?"
Queen Smiling like a blooming flower, her voice was clear and sweet, but with unquestionable firmness: "Lafayette, maybe you can't pay me back." Understand that the emperor's temperament, mother-in-law, and true love are nothing but clouds in front of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The confidence of this palace is neither favor nor conjugal affection, but absolute power and strength. This is something you cannot understand. . ”
The Queen Mother is the most distinguished elder of the royal family. She sits on a high throne, looking down at the queen and concubines below. Her eyes were full of majesty and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to take in everything in the harem.
Abdication of the throne is not only a state matter, but also a family matter. Logically speaking, the emperor should tell the queen mother to make preparations and stop targeting the queen. However, Qianlong was worried that the Queen Mother would not be able to accept it, so before proposing the abdication, he first mentioned the Queen's five princesses who had died young. The Queen Mother originally thought that Qianlong mentioned the Queen's deceased daughter because he wanted to speak well of the Queen and ask her to have mercy on the Queen and stop targeting her. However, the Queen Mother angrily interrupted Qianlong's words and asked him not to mention the Queen's affairs again. Qianlong saw that his mother was very angry and worried that she would fall ill, so he stopped mentioning it.
Therefore, the Queen Mother does not know until now that the Queen is about to become the mother of the new emperor. This secret is like a huge bomb, hidden deep in the harem, which may explode at any time.
When Princess He Jing heard what the queen said, her voice trembled and she said: "Queen, are you crazy? What do you mean by absolute power and strength? In the whole world, is it the king's land? Are you trying to rebel by saying this? If you want a mother to become a queen mother, it depends on whether you are so lucky. ”
Your concubine also sneered, her voice sharp and mean: "First you pushed the princess to get hurt, and then you contradicted the queen mother, with the intention of seeking power. You mother and son are so ambitious, and your crimes are obvious and there is no way to deny them. Why don't you kneel down quickly?"
The queen smiled contemptuously, her eyes full of disdain and ridicule. She said slowly: "Ms. Wei, you have been infatuated with your master for many years, and you have plotted everything. Even the fifth elder brother was harmed by the fake little swallow set up by you and the Fu family, and lost the favor of the emperor. It's a pity that your vision is too low. , I only saw one third of an acre of the harem, I don’t know that the outside world has already undergone earth-shaking changes. You want to be the Queen Mother, it’s just a fantasy.”
The concubine’s face was red when her thoughts were revealed, and she stared at the queen, as if she wanted to kill her. Cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. She gritted her teeth and her voice was low and angry: "Nara, you murdered the princess and contradicted the Queen Mother. You are no longer allowed in the royal family."
The queen shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter whether the royal family can tolerate me or not. Anyway, the world of Aixinjueluo will change sooner or later, and my future has already been decided. It's ridiculous that you people are ignorant and are still here. The intrigues and barking are really a joke.”
After saying that, the queen laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter. Her laughter echoed in the empty hall, making it particularly harsh. Aunt Rong also laughed. Her laughter was sharp and strange, as if it blended with the Queen's laughter.
"You, you..." The Queen Mother was so angry that she was pointing at the Queen, her fingers trembling so much that she could hardly control herself. Her original intention was to use the princess's incident to frustrate the queen, but now she heard these words and was really furious.
The Queen Mother shouted angrily: "Queen, you are too presumptuous! Do you really think that because the Emperor loves you, I can't punish you? A queen from a poor background dares to be arrogant in front of me."
< br>The queen has been exploited and suppressed by the queen mother for many years, and she has already reached the end of her tolerance. Now that Li Qingge has returned to the Forbidden City, she seems to have found a harbor she can rely on and runs fearlessly on the road of rebellion. She responded mercilessly: "Although my Nala family is from a poor family, aren't you the Niu Hulu family? You are just a common branch of the Niu Hulu family. Your family is very poor. When you entered In the palace draft, the Holy Ancestor pointed out to the late Emperor Wang of Yong County, but he was not even selected as a concubine, so he could only serve as a princess."
The Queen's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the Queen Mother's heart. The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She clenched her teeth as if to suppress the anger that was about to come out. She stared at the queen with wide eyes, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.
However, the queen didn't care, her eyes were full of determination and determination. She knew that she had embarked on this path of no return and could not turn back. She can only move forward and use her power and wisdom to fight for the future that belongs to her.
She kept sneering, her voice sharp and mean, like ice in the cold wind in winter, piercing people's hearts: "What do you mean by Gege? Isn't it just like the eldest girl in a Han family's first wife? Not even a concubine. I think back then, I was asked to be married to the emperor by the late emperor. Even though I was from a humble background. "Wei, that's also Xiang Fujin's identity. Now, I'm sitting on the throne of mother-in-law, enjoying a position that even the late emperor Chao Xi and his concubine once envied." The corner of her mouth raised a hint of envy. Smiling triumphantly, his eyes flashed with pride and provocation, as if he was showing off his current honor.
As soon as these words came out, it was like a sharp knife, tearing apart the originally peaceful atmosphere in Cining Palace. The Queen Mother's face and dignity were trampled to the ground. It was as if the delicate satin had been ruthlessly torn apart, revealing the mottled cracks inside.
For a time, the waiters in Cining Palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale, as if they had seen something terrible, and they did not even dare to express their anger. Princess He Jing, your concubine, and Qing'er, who had remained silent, were also shocked. Their eyes wandered back and forth between the Queen and the Queen Mother, and their hearts were filled with shock and uneasiness.
None of them expected that the Queen would be so bold and dare to expose her background in front of the Queen Mother. Isn't this asking for death? You know, the Queen Mother is the most powerful woman in the harem. Her words can determine a person's life, death, honor or disgrace.
On the old face of the Queen Mother, the anger was like a dark cloud, which would turn into thunderous fury at any time and destroy everything. Her eyes flashed with cold fury, as if it would burn the Queen to ashes.
After a while, she shouted angrily: "Slap! Hit me hard until her mouth is broken!" The sound was like a sharp blade in the ice, making people shudder.
As soon as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs stepped forward to catch the queen. There were ferocious smiles on their faces, as if they had seen the tragic situation of the queen after being slapped. Aunt Gui was also ready to take action. Her eyes flashed fiercely, as if she wanted to put the queen to death.
However, at this moment, Grandma Rong suddenly screamed, like a hen protecting its chicks, and stood up in front of the Queen. Her eyes were full of determination and determination, as if she wanted to protect the queen with her own life.
The queen's eyes widened with anger and unwillingness. She glared at the Queen Mother as if she wanted to burn everything in her to ashes. She said sternly: "Who dares! I am the queen, the mother of the country in the palace!" That voice was full of majesty and unquestionable power.
Mother Gui’s slap was about to fall, and she hesitated after hearing these words. After all, the queen is the most noble woman in the harem, and her identity and status cannot be violated.
However, the Queen Mother sneered, and the laughter was full of ridicule and disdain. She said: "Although you are the queen, I am the queen mother, you are the daughter-in-law, and I am the mother-in-law. It is only natural for a mother-in-law to teach an unfilial daughter-in-law!" Her eyes flashed with cold anger, as if she wanted to punish the queen. Everything was destroyed.
Qing'er watched with cold eyes, secretly thinking about the queen's actions. She felt that the queen's sudden disrespectful behavior was certainly not stupid, and there must be a deep-seated reason behind it. She saw that the emperor loved the queen very much, just like Lord Shunzhi did to Concubine Dong E. If the slaves of Cining Palace really insulted the queen, the consequences would be disastrous.
Thinking of this, Qing'er couldn't bear it anymore. She walked around to the Queen Mother, knelt down and begged: "Lord Buddha, please calm down. The Queen Mother is the wife of the Emperor. If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely hurt the mother-son relationship between you and the Emperor. Lafayette, don't you? Are you distressed?" There was a hint of anxiety and sincerity in her voice, as if she was really thinking about the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart tightened. Although she has great power, her only fear is to hurt the relationship between mother and son and repeat the tragedy of the late emperor. She was silent for a while, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
However, the concubine said hurriedly: "What about the emperor's wife? Nala can become the queen because of your support. In the emperor's heart, only Queen Xiaoxian is the only one. Wife." There was a bit of sarcasm and provocation in her voice, as if she was looking down on the queen's origin and status.
Princess He Jing also echoed loudly: "Yes, my mother and Huang Ama have a deep relationship, and the piano and the sound are harmonious. Only she is the wife in Huang Ama's heart, the only wife." There was a hint of emotion in her voice. Full of pride and pride, as if fighting for an honor for his mother.
The Queen Mother nodded, as if convinced by their words. She said: "Yes, Nala's ability to become queen is all due to my support. I made her become queen back then, and I can make her come down today. Beat me hard!" Her voice was full of emotion. Determination and unquestionable strength.
Qing'er shouted anxiously: "Lafayette, please ask the emperor to handle this matter. If these servants hurt the queen's face, it will also damage the majesty of the royal family!" However, she Her plea seemed to be ignored by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sternly said: "Qing'er, you were raised by me, how dare you turn your elbows outward? Hurry up and step aside! If you plead for the Queen again, I will really be angry." Her voice was full of majesty and dignity. An irresistible force.
After saying that, she ordered the people around her: "Pull Qingge away." The two young eunuchs immediately stepped forward and pulled Qing'er aside.
"Mother Gui, fight!" the Queen Mother ordered sternly. Her eyes flashed with cold fury, as if she wanted to destroy everything.
“Cha!” Nanny Gui responded, rubbed her palms, and prepared to take action. There was a fierce light in her eyes, as if she wanted to put the queen to death.
Nanny Rong grabbed her wrist suddenly and said sternly: "Don't hurt the Queen!" Her voice was full of firmness and determination, as if she wanted to protect the Queen with her own life.
However, Aunt Gui snorted coldly and said, "No? Humph, no one in Cining Palace can disobey Lafayette's orders!" Her eyes flashed with cold anger, as if she wanted to bring Aunt Rong with her. destroy.
After saying that, she winked, and the two young eunuchs stepped forward and pulled Grandma Rong away. Then, he slapped the queen hard on her well-maintained face.
"Pah!" That crisp slap seemed to tear the air apart. The queen's cheeks swelled rapidly, and her eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness. She has been married to the royal family for many years. Although she has suffered countless grievances, such as being punished by kneeling, copying scriptures, being grounded, and being framed, she has experienced many of these. However, this was the first time that he was slapped and humiliated in public.
The Queen's anger erupted like a volcano. She glared at the Queen Mother's twisted face, with endless anger and unwillingness in her voice: "How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me!" She said His voice was full of despair and anger, as if it was going to burn everything to ashes.
The Queen Mother sneered, and the laughter was full of ridicule and disdain. She said: "I am the Queen Mother, so what if I hit you? Even if I kill you, you will have to bear it!" Her eyes flashed with cold anger, as if she wanted to destroy everything about the Queen.
"You-" The Queen's words were choked in her throat. She couldn't believe that the Queen Mother would treat her like this. She felt as if she had been pushed into an endless abyss, unable to extricate herself.
This slap completely tore the skin between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The endless quarrel between them seemed to overthrow the entire Cining Palace.
At this moment, the eunuch's shout suddenly came from outside: "The Emperor is here!" The voice was as deafening as spring thunder, shocking everyone in the palace.
When the Queen Mother heard Qianlong's arrival, she knew that he was here to support the Queen, and her face became even more gloomy. She secretly scolded this unfilial son for forgetting his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law. However, she also knew that Qianlong's arrival meant that this matter could no longer proceed according to her wishes.
Princess Hejing was very happy. She didn't know how important the queen's status was in Qianlong's heart. She just thought that Huang Ama was here, and she could issue an order to abolish the Nala clan who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement.
The concubine was also very happy. She felt that the power of the queen mother and the princess was enough to overwhelm the queen. Once the queen is deposed, although it is difficult to continue to be the queen due to her status as a concubine, it is still possible to create an imperial concubine who takes charge of the affairs of the six palaces. The status of the imperial concubine is equivalent to that of the deputy concubine, and the children born to her are also considered half-legitimate children. In this way, her children may inherit the throne. Her heart is full of expectations and ambitions.
Everyone in the palace has their own thoughts and is waiting for Qianlong's arrival. However, when Qianlong strode in, everyone except the Queen Mother saluted: "Your Majesty, may you be blessed!" The voices were neat and loud, as if they were expressing their respect and loyalty to Qianlong.
Qianlong strode in with a sullen face. Before he could excuse everyone, he first greeted the Queen Mother: "Son, please greet the Queen Mother!" There was a hint of respect and filial piety in his voice, as if he was expressing his respect and concern for the Queen Mother. .
However, the Queen Mother said angrily: "Emperor, you are here at the right time. The Queen murdered the princess and contradicted me. You must destroy this poisonous woman as soon as possible. I..." She hadn't finished her words yet. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman as beautiful as an immortal standing behind Qianlong. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "This woman... is a monster... a monster..." Her voice was full of shock and uneasiness, as if she was watching Something terrible happened.
The reason why the Queen Mother is so rude is because the woman in front of her is so beautiful that she is not as beautiful as a mortal. Her skin is as delicate and smooth as gelatin, her eyebrows are picturesque, her lips are red and her teeth are white, as if she was a fairy who stepped out of a painting. There is a faint fragrance exuding from her body, which makes people feel intoxicated. There is such a beauty in the harem and she is still with the emperor. Will there be chaos in the harem in the future?
People in the Aixinjueluo family are all sentimental people. Although the Queen Mother has never met Concubine Dong E, Hai Lanzhu and others, and does not know how beautiful the previous generations of concubines are, she dares to assert that those concubines are not as good as this woman. Her heart was filled with jealousy and uneasiness, as if she saw her power and status being threatened.
Zhi Zi Mo Ruo Mu, Qianlong was affectionate and ruthless. He would fall in love with any pretty woman in the harem. well! What a sigh! In this splendid palace, every inch of air seems to carry endless joys and sorrows, making people feel the impermanence of the world.
Fortunately, she, the gentle and virtuous but ill-fated mother of the empress, has passed away long ago. Otherwise, seeing such an alluring woman in the harem getting into disputes for favor, I am afraid that If you are so heartbroken that you cannot control yourself, you will eventually wither like a withered leaf and die!
Li Qingge, this name seems to be born to amaze the world. Her beauty was truly unparalleled, as dazzling as the morning sun. Whenever she walked, no matter where she was, it seemed to be shrouded in light and became extremely bright. In the main hall, everyone was shocked by her incomparable appearance. Except for the aloof Emperor Qianlong, the dignified and virtuous Queen, and the experienced and steady Aunt Rong, everyone else was moved by her and secretly marveled in their hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but worry, once this beautiful lady steps into the palace, will she repeat the tragedy of Emperor Shunzhi who gave up his country for a beauty? Will the wheels of history roll over again, leaving a deep mark?
Only your concubine, the woman who had a relationship with Li Qingge in the past, was also amazed by her beauty, but she was not worried at all. She knew Li Qingge's true identity, and his calmness and calmness made her stand out among everyone.
The concubine reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and gave a grand salute to Li Qingge, with a bit of respect and firmness in her voice: "I pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen, long live your Majesty!"< br>
As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately exploded, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Your Majesty the Queen?" The Queen Mother's voice was filled with disbelief. Her eyes widened, as if she wanted to see the woman in front of her clearly.
Princess He Jing, Qing'er and others were all stunned. Although they were not often involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, they had long heard about the Great Yan Dynasty in the south that was founded by women. In that era where men were superior to women, a woman was able to build such a huge empire. One can imagine the hardship and dedication behind it.
They had only heard her name but never seen her, but they had never thought that this legendary Queen of Great Flame would be such a gorgeous beauty.
