The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Honghui smiled and replied: "Today is my elder sister's birthday, these are for her."

Bayan pretended to be very surprised: "It turned out to be the eldest princess Qianqiu, this is not good, I didn't bring any gifts today, but before I went out this morning, I saw a very beautiful peach blossom pearl hairpin on the street, and I was thinking of giving it to my sisters when I go back. Why not borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and also bring some joy to the eldest princess."

Honghui was indeed happy to hear this. According to the imperial edict, Yierha and he were from the same mother, and they both grew up under the care of Lady Ulanara. In his heart, he privately regarded Yierha as his sister from the same mother.

Bayan was his cousin, and in Honghui's eyes, they were all family. So when he mentioned that he wanted to go with him to celebrate his elder sister's birthday, he didn't notice anything wrong.

As a result, before they went to South Institute No. 3 after class, they met Su Peisheng first.

Honghui asked with a smile: "Eunuch Su is here, but what is the important matter for the Emperor?"

Su Peisheng was also friendly to Honghui and smiled respectfully: "My eldest brother, the emperor wants to summon Master Bayan for something."

Honghui was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Bayan, and found that he suddenly froze, with a strange look on his face. He felt panic for no reason: "Eunuch, what happened? Bayan is reckless, if he offended the emperor, it was not intentional."

Su Peisheng smiled like a flower, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. When walking in front of the emperor, it was absolutely impossible for others to find out the news. This was basic skill, and Honghui also knew it.

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother."

That was the only thing he said; he refused to say anything else.

Honghui suppressed his pounding heart, turned around and told Bayan: "Then go ahead. If you do anything wrong, quickly apologize to the emperor."

This was the first time that Bayan was summoned by the emperor alone. He was unsure whether the matter between him and the eldest princess had been leaked.

If the emperor knew about this, would he punish me or grant me a marriage?

Bayan thought a lot at that moment, but when he looked at Su Peisheng's smiling face, he suddenly calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Eunuch Su's attitude was so good, it must be a good thing.

Thinking of this, he comforted Honghui instead: "Don't worry, brother, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he even straightened his clothes, his expression suddenly became arrogant, and he followed Su Peisheng with his head held high.

Honghui was confused by his series of actions and had to call the eunuch serving him to ask what was going on.

At this time, in the Yangxin Palace

When Yierha saw Yinzhen, she immediately knelt down and apologized. Yinzhen did not blame her too harshly. He still loved his daughter very much and only asked her to recognize Bayan's true face for a while.

"Yilha, I don't blame you for what happened. I only blame myself for not caring enough about you. No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me first. You are simple-minded and it is inevitable that you will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. I am afraid that you will be hurt."

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yierha felt even more ashamed, and felt that it was because of herself that she had let down such a good Empress Mother and Emperor Father.

However, Yinzhen was not without anger. Yierha was still young and had a weak mind, so she was easily bewitched. He could understand that. Besides, he did not have high expectations for Yierha. As long as she could be safe and sound, have a smooth life, and live comfortably, that would be enough.

If it was Hutuli or any other son, he would punish him severely.

How can you be a man of clear ambitions if you can be blinded by a few words from others?

It is difficult for you to tell whether the people around you are loyal or treacherous. When something wrong happens, you don't stop the loss in time, but instead indulge in it.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh, hoping that this would be a lesson for her.

Not long after, Su Peisheng brought Bayan to meet the emperor.

Changning held Yierha's hand and sat behind the screen. Feeling Yierha's nervousness, Changning patted her hand to comfort her.

As soon as Bayan came in, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Bayan pays respect to the emperor."

Yinzhen didn't call out, but instead looked at the man carefully.

In fact, it was Ulanara who single-handedly selected the Haha beads for Honghui. He had also done some research himself and chose only close nephews and nieces. More importantly, they were ambitious and had good character. Otherwise, what would happen if they led his own son astray?

He also had some impression of this Bayan. He was good at both civil and military affairs, a little ambitious, and devoted to the glory of the Ulanara family. He was also loyal to Honghui.

This may have been his advantage before, but now his ambition to use Yierha has touched Yinzhen's bottom line.

Bayan knelt below. It was his first time to meet the emperor alone, which made him extremely nervous. The emperor's power was unpredictable, especially since Yinzhen had not spoken a word, which made him sweat profusely.

Bayan gradually came to his senses. If he was really going to be granted a marriage, he would definitely be summoned to see his father and mother, just like Xingde, and would inform the elders first. Why would he go directly to him?

Moreover, if it was really an arranged marriage, they would not have called me over to kneel. This was obviously a show of power!

Before he could think more, Yinzhen's calm voice came from above his head: "Bayan, I trusted you, so I let you be the eldest prince's haha ​​bead. But I didn't expect that you would betray my trust."

Bayan subconsciously wanted to refute: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"

"Mingjian? You bribed the palace maids around the eldest prince and the eldest princess, which has violated the palace rules. You also tried to say sweet words to make the eldest princess fall in love with you. In every case, how have I wronged you?" Yinzhen became more and more angry as he spoke, and he wished he could cut him into pieces immediately.

"Just for seducing the princess and having sex with her, this one charge is enough to have your entire family executed!"

Bayan shrank back in fear, and even Yierha, who was behind the screen, trembled.

"Your Majesty! I didn't! I really didn't seduce the eldest princess! We were just... we were just chatting casually! Yes! We were just chatting casually! The eldest princess has a close relationship with our Ulanara family, and I have always treated her as my sister!"

Bayan was so scared that he was incoherent. Yinzhen sneered: "You are so brave to treat the eldest princess as your sister! Bayan, are you treating me like a fool? You have no respect for the emperor or your father. Marriage is always decided by parents. You are brave, but I don't know if you are stubborn or not."

Bayan had already kowtowed and confessed his guilt. If he had known that he would be killed, he would never have talked to the princess again! He would have stayed away from her!

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again! I have absolutely no improper thoughts about the eldest princess. This is all a misunderstanding!"

Behind the screen, Yilha burst into tears.
