How did my host die?

As Duoduo looked forward to it day by day, the emperor finally went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. The empress, Jingpin, Shunpin, Wanpin, and all the concubines who could go went, and the palace suddenly became less crowded.

Duoduo brought the children with her, and those who had children took them with them. She left Xiaoluzi and Meicha to guard Chengqian Palace, and also rewarded them with two months' profit share. It was unfair to keep them in the palace in such a hot weather, but they couldn't all stay there. There still had to be someone to guard the palace, and she couldn't just come back to escape the heat. Many people were assigned to rescue Chengqian Palace, and she still didn't have the idea of ​​mistreating the palace people. They were all workers, and as long as they were loyal, she would still treat them well, and she had reserved ice for them. Let them put some ice in the house when they were hot. The masters of Chengqian Palace had all been taken away by her, so they didn't have anything to do, and they just had to guard Chengqian Palace, Duoduo said.

Meicha also told Meixiang that she would be the one to go to escape the summer heat next time.

The group of people rode in a horse-drawn carriage and arrived at the Old Summer Palace in almost a day.

Hua Fei had arranged accommodation in advance. Duoduo lived in Shangtianguang. The place was big enough. After all, she had three children with her. The place was big and cool, but it was a little far from where the emperor lived. Hua Fei had asked in advance and felt that it was good to be far away from the emperor. There would be less gossip. She quickly asked Meixiang and Xiaoxiazi to pack up so that she could rest. It was not comfortable to sit in the carriage for almost a day. There was no shock absorber at this time. It was bumpy all the way. It was a royal carriage. If it was an ordinary family, I don’t know if I could bear it.

After everything was packed up, the nanny took the children to rest. Meixiang and Xiao Xiazi were also allowed to rest. Anyway, this place was better than the palace. It was impossible that someone had already placed people here.

It was nice to be able to escape the heat in the courtyard without having to pay respects, though the emperor would definitely hold a party. After a good rest, Duoduo came out to look around. It was nice, with good scenery, worthy of being the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens. However, later generations did not see it as it was destroyed by Western powers. There was daylight, and a small kitchen, which was also nice. Duoduo was still walking around when she saw Jingpin and Shunpin coming.

Why are you two here? Why don’t you take a good rest? Aren’t you tired after sitting in the car for so long?

Fortunately, I have rested for a while. I came to the Empress's place when I had nothing to do. The Empress's place is good. It is big and spacious, but it is a little far from the Emperor, Jingpin said.

That’s right, my sister Jingpin and I live in Qingliu Palace, which is not far from where the Empress is, but not as big as here, said Shunpin.

I have three children. How can they be smaller? There will be a wet nurse and a lot of servants to take care of them. It will definitely not work if the place is too small.

The Empress has three children, so we need a bigger place, but we are far away from the Emperor. Shunpin said, it doesn’t matter whether we are far or near to the Emperor. If we are near, it’s still the same if the Emperor doesn’t want to go. If we are far, there won’t be so many things to do. If the Emperor wants to see you, he won’t be afraid of the distance.

Come here, where is the child, Duoduo asked Shunpin.

The child is asleep. I left the nanny to look after her. She will be fine. Even that bitch Concubine Duan is here. I don’t know what the emperor is thinking. She can just stay in the palace and die of heat. Why bring her here? Shunpin said angrily.

Didn't you see that almost everyone in the palace is here, except for some concubines of the previous emperor, all the emperor's concubines are here. If you leave Concubine Duan alone, won't you be gossiped about? Didn't you almost ruin her body, and Concubine Hua added fuel to the fire. Don't hurt yourself for her, it's not worth it. The emperor is keeping a close eye on the harem now. It's good for you, the Fucha family, and Shujia to do less. Don't let the emperor know that your Fucha family has interfered in his harem affairs and vent his anger on you, which will affect Shujia. You should know that if the princess doesn't have the love of her father, the ending will not be very good, Duoduo said to Shunpin.

What should I do? I asked someone to deal with Concubine Duan, but will it implicate Shujia? I don’t want Shujia to be disliked by the Emperor in the future. What should Your Majesty do, Shunpin asked anxiously.

It's okay, just don't do anything in the future. Concubine Duan tried to hug Shujia and hurt you, so it's normal for you to fight back. It's just that you don't have anything to do now, so don't always hold on to it. If you don't like her, just pretend you don't see her. I'm not asking you to forgive her, I just don't want you to have any unresolved issues. Here, the Fucha family should not get involved. After all, this is the emperor's harem, and it's better for the ministers to stay out of it. You can make things difficult for Concubine Duan's family, but don't interfere in the palace. This is an usurpation of power, and the emperor won't like it. I think the emperor knows that you hate Concubine Duan. Anyway, you are so quick-witted, and if you don't like her, just confront her no matter what she does.

Alas, if you don’t explain clearly to Shunpin, she won’t know what you are going to do.

Jingpin also said, that's right, this is the conflict between the two of you, you can embarrass Concubine Duan in this palace. Just don't let the family interfere, that's different, the ministers have reached the emperor's harem, even the concubines in the harem have not been secretly harmed, then can the emperor rest assured?

I understand. It's just a problem with her. Just don't let the family interfere. Concubine Hua doesn't like her anyway. She also harmed Concubine Hua's child. If I don't cause trouble for her, Concubine Hua will find it anyway, Shunpin said.

Meixiang brought the chilled lotus seed porridge she had made herself, and when the sky was bright, the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, so she picked some and ate them one by one.

The Queen's plum-scented cooking skills are so good that I want her to come to my palace and cook for me, Shunpin said

What are you thinking about? The maids in your palace are pretty good. You still want our Meixiang, eat yours, Meixiang, forget it. If you want to eat something, you can come to Shangtianguang.

After they left, Duoduo went back to the house to rest. It was much cooler here. Duoduo asked Tuanzi if there was anything bad here.

No, you just arrived, there is nothing bad about it. Besides, there are so many trees and flowers here, and you still come to ask me. It is much easier to get the news here. There are flowers and trees everywhere for you.

But it’s much better than being in the palace. However, the emperor won’t let you live here permanently. It would be great if you could stay here for a long time, said Tuanzi.

What are you thinking of? Living here for a long time? What will happen to my children if I live here for a long time? They won't be able to see the emperor, and then the emperor will forget about us, which will be bad. Those who live here are those whom the emperor dislikes. Even if there are many conspiracies in the palace, I will stay here, otherwise being completely forgotten by the emperor is much more miserable than being conspired against. It is not a good thing for princes and princesses to be disliked by the emperor. Don't think like that, Duoduo said to Tuanzi.

Oh, I see. You people are really troublesome.
