Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 13 Trouble Again
Ling Qiqi's life became more and more fulfilling. She had cultural classes in the morning and interest classes in the afternoon. She had horse riding on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and acupuncture on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. She was even busier at night, writing calligraphy, reciting classical Chinese and practicing acupuncture.
Since Ling Qiqi didn't want to go back to modern times to be a social animal and wanted to stay here as the second generation of the emperor, she suddenly lost her enthusiasm for learning acupuncture. But Du Jingshan didn't indulge her. He was still very strict and meticulous in supervising and testing her, just like Ling Qiqi's department manager in the real world, which made Ling Qiqi want to give him a sharp shot (here as a verb, not an adjective) and break up.
But when she thought that Du Jingshan might really be an NPC, Ling Qiqi felt that it would be better to avoid offending him. Not only that, she should also try her best to establish good interpersonal relationships with him (flatter him), because who knows, he might get some equipment.
As for the equestrian class, she was quite happy taking it, mainly because there was no homework.
Ximo not only produces good horses, but also good riders. It must be said that Lu Cheng's equestrian skills are really good, worthy of being a Ximo person. The children of Ling Qiqi's former colleagues have learned equestrianism. Although they are a few years older than Lu Cheng, they are not as good as Lu Cheng. Although Lu Cheng is young, short, and has limited strength, he is brave and has black hands. He is really willing to kick with spurs and whip with whips. In addition, the horses they ride are not tall and big, and they are very obedient after being trained. Lu Cheng seems to be glued to the horse's back.
It’s just that Lu Cheng’s teaching level is not very good and he has no patience at all, so I give him a bad review.
Actually, Lu Cheng, the equestrian coach, was only a figurehead, and he was just there to accompany the princess. After all, no matter how well he rode a horse, he was just a child. Which adult could trust a child to teach another child how to ride a horse? The reason why the emperor agreed to let the sixth prince teach the seventh princess how to ride a horse was just to give him an excuse to ride a horse to relax. The emperor also selected guards to accompany the princess, saying that they were to protect the seventh princess, but in fact, it was the guards who were leading the seventh princess in circles, and Lu Cheng mostly gave verbal instructions and made sarcastic remarks.
Ling Qiqi felt that learning to ride a horse was similar to learning to drive a car. The instructor had clearly explained the accelerator, brakes, and steering, but to really put it into practice, one still needed to be able to understand. Ling Qiqi had the ability to understand, but her coordination was poor. When she got up from the horse, it was like she had a cramp, which startled the horse. If the guards hadn't held her tightly, she would have been thrown off.
Before she had even had a few days of such fulfilling days, Ling Qiqi got into trouble again.
Her Barbie was missing, and Yu'er and Liu had been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Ling Qiqi thought it must have been dropped somewhere and picked up by someone, so she could just ask Yu'er to make another one for her. However, she never thought that she and Barbie were being schemed against together.
After having lunch at Deokshou Palace that day, Ling Qiqi was about to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau for an acupuncture class, but she saw someone from the Queen coming to tell her to go to Jingyixuan quickly.
After what happened last time, Yu'er was worried, so she asked Liu to report to the Empress Dowager, while she accompanied the Seventh Princess first.
On the way, Ling Qiqi learned from Yu'er that Jingyixuan was the residence of Ning Wanrong. Ning Wanrong was one of the talented people who entered the palace last year. Because she was pregnant, she was named Wanrong a few days ago. She was supposed to give birth next month, but she suddenly went into labor last night. Until now, there has been no news from Jingyixuan, and no one knows what is going on.
But at this time, why did the Queen call her over? Ling Qiqi thought it must be bad, but then she thought, she is just a child, how can she have anything to do with giving birth?
Ling Qiqi arrived at Jingyi Pavilion without fear of boiling water. Wow, it was really lively inside and outside the house.
A few chairs were temporarily placed in the middle of the courtyard. The queen sat in the middle with a sullen face. Concubine De and Jiang Shuyi, who had been in charge of all the affairs of the harem, sat on both sides with nervous and haggard faces. The maids and eunuchs of each palace stood aside in an orderly manner, and the imperial doctors stood on one side of the courtyard, cautiously on standby at any time.
From time to time, the midwife's encouraging voice and the miserable cries of the woman in labor could be heard in the room. It was painful just to hear them.
Ling Qiqi had never witnessed a childbirth in person, whether before or after the time travel. She was frightened by the 3D surround effect and thought to herself: I will only fall in love and not have children in the future. No man is worthy of making her risk her life like this.
She couldn't help but curse the queen in her heart: She did it on purpose, asking me to come here to observe such a vivid physiology and hygiene class. She is afraid that I will have psychological trauma in the future, right?
She couldn't help but secretly admire those husbands in the real world who dared to accompany their wives during childbirth: You are amazing if you don't have impotence.
The Queen saw Ling Qiqi standing at the door in a daze after entering the courtyard, and did not come forward to greet her. Her face became even more gloomy, and she said in a bad tone:
"Seventh Princess, why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
Ling Qiqi finally came to her senses and hurried forward with Yu'er to pay her respects.
After receiving the greetings, the Queen asked sternly:
"Seventh Princess, is this yours?"
The maid beside her quickly presented the item to Ling Qiqi. When she looked at it, it turned out to be her Barbie. But why was it in the Queen's hand? Did she ask me to come over and give it back to her? No way! Judging from the Queen's tone, she must have been holding back her fart.
Ling Qiqi was nervous but appeared calm and replied:
"Your Majesty, it's Qi'er's."
"How dare you, Seventh Princess! Do you know your crime?" the Queen scolded.
"Qi'er doesn't know, I hope the Queen will explain it clearly."
"Humph, you actually practiced witchcraft in the harem. Tell me, who taught you to do this?"
Witchcraft? This is a taboo in the harem. It's such a big shit pot. It's really cruel. Ling Qiqi immediately became alert.
"Empress, Qi'er doesn't know what witchcraft is. I've never practiced it, and no one has taught me."
"Do you think that because you are a princess, I can't do anything to you? Come, drag the maidservant beside her out and beat her with a stick until the Seventh Princess is willing to confess."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, two eunuchs came up to grab Yu'er. Ling Qiqi was anxious, and she stretched out her hand to block Yu'er and shouted at the eunuchs:
"How dare you!"
"Why shouldn't I dare? As the mistress of a palace, can't I even punish a palace maid? Drag her out." After the queen finished speaking, she waved at the two eunuchs.
Ling Qiqi held Yu'er tightly and refused to let go. She angrily replied to the Queen:
"You are trying to force a confession out of me."
"Whether he surrenders or not, we won't know until we beat him." The queen replied disdainfully.
Ling Qiqi was at a loss. The Queen was afraid that she would not let her go today. She even wanted to use Yu'er as a scapegoat. Yu'er was the Empress Dowager's person. Was the Queen going to burn her boats? If Yu'er was dragged out like this, she would be half dead if not dead. What should she do?
Ling Qiqi calculated quickly in her mind. When she came, Liu had already informed the Grand Empress Dowager. The Grand Empress Dowager should send someone to pick her and Yu'er up, but she didn't know how long it would take.
Apart from the Grand Empress Dowager, the only person who could control the Empress was the Emperor. After all these years of no children in the harem, it was not easy for him to have a child. He could not just ignore it. Ning Wanrong had made quite a fuss from last night to now. The Emperor should still be handling government affairs at this time. Even if he did not come in person, he would send someone to ask about it.
We must find a way to wait for reinforcements, and delay it as long as possible.
Ling Qiqi felt that what the Queen said just now was right. She was a princess, and the Queen really didn't have many ways to deal with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made things difficult for Yu'er, so she had to find a way to save Yu'er first.
Ling Qiqi gritted her teeth and stamped her feet:
"Okay, I say, Queen, tell someone to release Yu'er first."
