Qingying pouted so hard that a bottle of wine could hang from her mouth. But when she saw the Queen's grim expression and the sharp look she gave her, she dared not say anything more and said in a self-righteous manner, "Qingying understands."

You understand nothing at all!

Just by hearing Qingying's reluctant tone, the queen knew that Qingying's words went in one ear and out the other. She simply stopped trying to be nice to Qingying and gave orders directly as the queen.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Concubine Qi to bring the Third Prince here, and you will wear the warm gold silk that I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make for you.

Wear a satin banner and have a good meeting with the Third Prince."

Qingying was reluctant, but she knew that the Queen was not discussing this with her, so she agreed calmly.

After that, the Queen often tried to bring Qingying and the Third Prince together, both openly and secretly. Even though the Third Prince and Qingying obviously disliked each other, the Queen and Concubine Qi could still chat with each other very well.

Concubine Qi was anxious because she saw that the Third Prince was becoming less and less valued by Yinzhen in recent days. Her maternal family was unable to provide any support to the Third Prince. Now that the Empress had extended an olive branch to her, there was no reason for her to refuse.

Even though Concubine Qi didn't like Qingying's calm demeanor, she still praised her, "Oh, Queen, look, the Third Prince and Princess Qingying standing together are such a perfect match."

The Queen smiled and nodded: "Yes, Qingying is my niece, and the Third Prince was also raised by me. I treat them both the same."

Although the Third Prince did not like Qingying, he did not want to see his mother continue to cry with her face covered because he was scolded by his father, so he suppressed his impatience and spoke to Qingying politely.

But Qingying obviously didn't have this awareness. She was absent-minded the whole time, and her heart was on the Fourth Prince who would take her to the show.

I really don't know how this Third Prince is better than Brother Hongli except for his height. He is dull and his speech is not pleasant. Why didn't Aunt choose Brother Hongli?

Qingying's perfunctory attitude was so obvious that even Concubine Qi noticed it, which made her furious. She could tolerate whatever others said about her, but she could not tolerate them looking down on her son.

Due to the Queen's remaining power, Concubine Qi did not dare to lose her temper in Jingren Palace, but if she couldn't afford to provoke someone, she could always avoid him. So she found a reason and took the Third Prince to leave.

Concubine Qi left in a hurry, and the taller and longer-legged Third Prince almost couldn't catch up. After walking a long way, he could still hear the "clacking" sound of the bottom of the flower pot as it stepped on the ground.

The Queen was left alone, looking at Qingying with a look of disappointment, "Look at what you have done!"

"Aunt..." Qingying wanted to act coquettishly and deny it.

But the queen was very irritable and had a severe headache, "Don't call me aunt, you are my ancestor, you are here to collect debts!"

It has always been difficult to get news from the Jingren Palace, but Qi Fei's Changchun Palace is as leaky as a sieve, and Qi Fei herself is not someone who can keep secrets.

It can be said that as soon as Concubine Qi stepped into Changchun Palace, Ye Bingshang got the news that Concubine Qi was driven away by Princess Qingying. After an incense stick of time, probably all the masters in the palace knew about it.

Ye Bingshang was in Concubine Jing's Xianfu Palace, wearing a light blue gauze cheongsam with lotus patterns embroidered with silver thread, and was poking Concubine Jing's turtle with a wooden stick.

"The Queen will have a headache from now on." Concubine Jing personally served the dishes to Wen Yi and did not avoid talking to Wen Yi. "You like this dish, eat more."

"Thank you, Madam Jing."

Wen Yi obediently ate the food that Concubine Jing picked for her. She remembered that her biological mother was Cao Qinmo, and she also knew that Concubine Jing was her adoptive mother, who was very kind to her. Although they were not mother and daughter, they had a true mother-daughter relationship.

Watching Wen Yi grow up day by day, Concubine Jing gradually changed from being happy to worried. The Queen supported the Third Prince so much, which showed that she saw the Third Prince and his mother as easy to manipulate, and intended to become the Regent Queen Mother in the future. Then, could her Wen Yi still marry in the capital?

Concubine Jing, who has always disliked taking risks and only wanted to protect herself, took the initiative to invite Ye Bingshang to discuss the matter. It was precisely because of this matter that since she could fight for it, why not fight for it? It would be safest to take the decision into her own hands.

"She is naturally troubled because her niece, whom she had to work so hard to recruit into the palace, is not on the same page with her." Ye Bingshang used a wooden stick to flip over the turtle that refused to stick its head out.

"Please trouble Sister Jingfei to take care of Concubine Qi in the future. Don't let her kill herself and let the Queen have another son for nothing."

Concubine Jing: "I understand that, but as long as she is still the queen, she will eventually become the queen mother. By then, she will have connections with the Uya family, so I'm afraid..."

"Then we won't keep her that long."

The net has been set, and we can just pull it in when the time is right.

Like a passing goose, it leaves its feathers behind. Everything that is done will always leave traces. This is true for the red jade necklace worn by Concubine Qi, and the same is true for the private dealings between the Fourth Prince and Qingying.

At first, the Queen only thought that Qingying would inevitably meet the Fourth Prince who lived in Shoukang Palace in the palace. The Fourth Prince was used to showing weakness and pitifulness, so he tricked Qingying into saying a few good words for him in front of her. She did not take it too seriously.

It was not until the Queen, Yinzhen, Ye Bingshang and Concubine Qi caught the two flirting under the plum tree that she realized the seriousness of the matter.

These two people actually started talking about something and immediately looked at each other from a distance.

On the wall, a play about elopement was played. The queen almost fainted. Didn't Qingying even understand the principle of being engaged as a wife and elopement as a concubine? How did the Ulanara family teach them?

Before the Fourth Prince and Qingying could explain, the humiliated Concubine Qi bypassed Yinzhen and the Queen and spoke first: "How can you two, a prince and an unmarried princess, get so close to each other in broad daylight!"

"You even chose such a deserted place. If the emperor hadn't been in the mood to take Concubine Lan to appreciate the plum blossoms, he wouldn't have discovered your good deeds. It's really a disgrace to the civilized world. You've read so many books but they've all gone to waste!"

Concubine Qi cursed and vented her feelings, believing that Qingying was fickle and blind. It was bad enough that she looked down on the Third Prince, but what was the meaning of her flirting with the Fourth Prince?

Are you saying that the Third Prince is not as good as the Fourth Prince? !

Even though she was scolded by Yinzhen, Concubine Qi refused to stop and said to Yinzhen aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the Third Prince. It doesn't matter if you don't like me, but you can't dislike the Third Prince and let him be abused by others."

"Nonsense, Concubine Qi, are you confused?" The Queen looked unkind, and looked at Concubine Qi with a dangerous look, "The Third Prince is the son of the Emperor, a prince of the Qing Dynasty, who dares to humiliate him?"

This time, Concubine Qi was not scared off by the Queen. Her Hongshi had suffered such a great injustice, and she wanted to tell it all to make the Emperor feel sorry for him and compensate him.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is the elder brother. How can the elder brother not get married yet? The younger brother should start looking for a partner for himself. The target is still the one that the Empress intends to choose as the Third Prince's wife... wuwuwu."

Yinzhen had a sullen face, he actually had the same question.

He knew early on that the Queen intended to match Qingying with the Third Prince. Since Qingying was Chunyuan's niece and she did not have too many expectations for Hongshi, he turned a blind eye and did not object.

But today, he ran into this. Yinzhen's face was stern, hiding his anger, "Hongli, tell me what happened between you and the queen's niece, and why are you here?"
