Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Empress Fucha shook her head slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has always kept the crown prince secret, and there have been rumors that Yonglian is weak and may not be able to continue his bloodline. What's more, you are in your prime, why rush to appoint a crown prince?"

She really didn't understand. If the emperor just wanted to make up for his debt to her, there was no need to go to so much trouble.

Just a few words of comfort could resolve the conflict between the two. However, the current situation made her feel confused.

The emperor patiently explained: "Rong Yin, I did this not only to tell you, but also to let the entire harem know that you will always be the most important in my heart, and my feelings for you will not change because of anyone or anything else!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Empress Fucha was so moved that her eyes were slightly red. She stood up and slowly walked to the emperor, gently leaned on his shoulder, and said softly:

"I am already satisfied with your words, and I have nothing else to ask for."

The emperor gazed at the empress who was acting as gentle and graceful as a little girl, his heart full of pity and love. He couldn't help but reach out and hug the empress tightly, and whispered softly in her ear:

"Rong Yin, I was really... wrong. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

The corners of Empress Fucha's mouth rose slightly, revealing a happy smile.

He secretly thought in his heart that this little girl Yingluo was really smart and clever. Her ideas were so effective that she easily "controlled" the emperor.

This time, she took a step back to advance, which not only successfully resolved the estrangement and misunderstanding between the two of them, but also made the emperor cherish her even more.

The two of them snuggled together sweetly, enjoying a rare warm moment. At this moment, the emperor seemed to want to get closer, but Empress Fucha cleverly avoided him.

She asked softly, "Your Majesty, Er Qing is still in Changchun Palace. I'm afraid it's against the rules. Should we confer her the title of concubine or noble lady?"

The emperor sat up immediately, his face still showing some fatigue from a hangover. He frowned, holding his forehead with one hand, and thought for a moment before saying:

"She should have been sentenced to death, but for the sake of her grandfather, I will do as the Queen said and make her a concubine."

After hearing this, the queen nodded gently and said, "Yes, I understand."

After that, she added, "I will handle this matter later. After all, it involves the affairs of the harem. If there is anything wrong, Your Majesty can tell me."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, indicating that he agreed with the queen's arrangement.

The queen originally thought that the emperor would leave Changchun Palace and return to Yangxin Palace, but she found that the emperor had no intention of leaving.

After a moment's silence, the Queen spoke again:

"Your Majesty, today is the first day of the new year. I just heard that you still have a lot of memorials to review before the New Year. Why don't you go back to the Yangxin Palace first? In the past, you would be reviewing memorials at this time."

Empress Fucha knew in her heart that although Erqing’s affairs could not be entirely blamed on the emperor, she was still unwilling to forgive him too soon.

Just as Wei Yingluo once said to her: "A woman must not be too tolerant, otherwise men will take advantage of her."

Since Fucha Rongyin became Empress Fucha, she has always adhered to the virtues of a woman, put the emperor first in everything, and never went against his wishes.

However, now, for the first time, she finally mustered up the courage to speak out what was in her mind and rejected the emperor's request, which made her feel an unprecedented relief and comfort.

The emperor looked at Empress Fucha in shock, not daring to believe what he heard. In the past, the empress would never push him away...

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the queen was right and he had indeed done something wrong this time, so the emperor decided to punish himself and returned to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials all night.

He reached out and gently patted Empress Fucha's hand, saying, "Rongyin, I will go back to the Yangxin Palace first and come to visit you tomorrow."

Empress Fucha smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Okay, I will always wait for the emperor." Her voice was gentle, warming people's hearts like a spring breeze.

At this moment, the door of the inner hall of Changchun Palace was suddenly opened by the emperor. The sudden movement startled the people who were eavesdropping outside the door.

Everyone hurried back to their seats, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Wei Yingluo quickly pulled Mingyu up and made her stand up straight; Zhang Jianyi hurriedly picked up the teacup from the ground. After the three of them adjusted their manners, they respectfully saluted the emperor.

Li Yu also quickly put the whisk in his hand on his hand, cleared his throat and shouted: "Your Majesty, please get up."

When the emperor left, his eyes inadvertently swept across Wei Yingluo's face, which looked very smart.

For some reason, the emperor felt an inexplicable ripple in his heart, as if a kitten was scratching his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Wei Yingluo again, then pointed at them, snorted coldly, and turned around and strode away.

Li Yu also looked at the three of them, couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then quickly followed the emperor's footsteps.

After arriving at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the emperor still felt something was wrong, as if there was something suffocating in his chest.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he could not help but angrily said to Li Yu:

"Li Yu, from now on, no palace maids are allowed to enter this Yangxin Palace! Do you understand? Otherwise, I will chop off your head!"

When Li Yu heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I will strictly guard the Yangxin Palace and will never let any palace maid in again!"

However, he muttered to himself in his heart: "It's obviously you who can't resist the temptation, and you always blame us servants..."

So, the emperor really spent the whole night reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace.

He couldn't help but wonder why there were so many memorials all of a sudden, as if God was punishing him.

I'm afraid he will have to work overtime to review the papers in the next few days.

But the truth of the matter is actually this - after Wei Yingluo learned what happened between Erqing and the emperor, she immediately asked someone to tell Fu Cha Fu Heng.

He was asked to remind the officials of the major aristocratic families to submit more memorials today to show their importance of the New Year. In fact, he wanted to "retaliate" against the emperor, which led to the mountains of memorials in the Yangxin Palace.

On the other side, Empress Fucha was in a good mood after finishing the medicinal meal served by Wei Yingluo.

After careful consideration, Wei Yingluo believed that Er Qing must not continue to stay in the palaces around Changchun Palace, and she discussed it with the Queen.

In the end, the two decided to let Erqing move to Chuxiu Palace and live in the former residence of Jiapin.
