The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

"Madam, did you like the snacks last time? If you are not satisfied with today's snacks, I can pack the same ones for you to take back."

Qingyin spoke eagerly to Madam Hu.

Madam Hu waved her hand and said to Qingyin in a deliberately playful tone, "Don't be silly. Madam Fu-jin doesn't know how popular the dim sum I brought back last time was. My little brat, even though he's grown up, saw the dim sum on my table with his eyes shining. He snatched a bag and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he had never eaten dim sum before. He even disdained the ones I bought from other shops."

Qing Yin was amused by Madam Hu again. She covered her lips and smiled softly, "Madam, you are so nice to hear. Since you like it, why don't you pack some for last time as well as today's snack to take back with you?"

"This is too precious, my wife. I have only done my duty these two times..."

Mrs. Hu bent down to express her gratitude, but Qingyin hurriedly stopped her and held Mrs. Hu back.

"Madam, you are so polite. I should have thanked you for doing something for me, but you still thanked me. It's just a little food. If I were to be stingy, how could I live like a human being?"

After Qingyin said this, Mrs. Hu didn't dare to refuse.

In particular, she felt that Lady Zhalute had noticed her nature of being obsessed with looks, and her beautiful eyes, which were especially bright because of crying, looked at her pitifully from a close distance.

Mrs. Hu felt that not agreeing would be an insult to that pretty face.

Mrs. Hu finally agreed to Qingyin's gift package of snacks and tea and took it home.

After accepting the things from others, Mrs. Hu naturally started to do things for Qingyin diligently.

royal palace.

Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The little palace maid, who was about eight or nine years old, had a pretty face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that looked calm and intelligent. She walked to the Imperial Household Department cleverly.

When palace maids received gifts from their families, they would usually pass them on through the eunuch in charge of purchasing in the Imperial Household Department.

This is how the palace maids who had good family backgrounds and were favored by their families received things sent from home.

Qi Yue is like this.

The Sixth Princess now has three palace maids around her who can take turns on duty. She came out this time to the Imperial Household Department when she was off duty.

Thinking of what her uncle told her last time, and her colleague and another good palace maid Hongdou telling her that something had arrived for her from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qi Yue's eyes flashed, and she vaguely guessed the purpose of this gift.

If that's what she really thought, then she wouldn't have to worry about her future with the Sixth Princess.

Sure enough, after Qi Yue registered with the rather arrogant eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he received a set of super thick clothes with a letter attached.

On the surface, it said that her aunt said the weather was getting colder and she was worried that she would be cold in the palace, so she sent her clothes.

Qi Yue touched the clothes that were unusually thick and had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, when she took the clothes back to her room and touched the coat from top to bottom, she finally found the clue given by her aunt, a few hidden mistakes in the stitches. Qi Yue's eyes lit up, and she took out a pair of scissors and cut it open, revealing two purses that looked like embroidery but with unusual stitches and a faint smell of medicine. At the same time, there were also several thousand taels of silver bills and a note with a message written on it.

After Qi Yue read and memorized the note, she quickly set it on fire to destroy the evidence. As for the purse and banknotes, she thought she could give them to the Sixth Princess later.

In the afternoon, Qi Yueziran and the maid on duty took turns returning to the side of the six-year-old Princess Malik.

Marici was a lively princess, but after her biological mother left, the princess began to become quieter and more introverted.

Apart from visiting her biological little sister Xinyu every day, Marici usually stays in her own princess residence.

As usual, Malik was staying in the princess's residence, practicing her calligraphy, when she suddenly saw her newly recruited maid Qi Yue walk into her room.

She frowned. Although she was very young, the little princess already had the aura and majesty of a royal princess.

"Didn't I tell you maids aren't allowed to come into my study?"

Qi Yue was timid, but she had her own ambitions and plans to support her. She still knelt respectfully before Mary and said, "I know, but I do have something to report. Sixth Princess, why don't you wait until I report it before punishing me."

Although his tone was timid, he still spoke the words fluently.

Marici looked at the little palace maid lying on the ground, who was not much older than herself, and hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to what the little palace maid had to say.

"Well, tell me."

Qi Yue knelt down, took out the two purses and banknotes hidden in her arms and handed them to Mary.

Mary was shocked. "Where did you get so many banknotes? And what's with this purse?"

Qi Yue smiled and said respectfully, "These banknotes and purses were given to me by Lady Zhalute to give to the two princesses. I am just delivering them."

Hearing this, Mary was completely shocked. The depression in her eyes disappeared, and a childlike innocence and liveliness emerged. "It's actually my mother!"

She quickly ran to the kneeling Qi Yue and helped him up, "Hurry up, are you my mother's man?"

Qi Yue smiled faintly and did not deny it. Instead, she explained her family affairs: "Sixth Princess, you don't know, but my aunt is the wife of Doctor Hu from the Imperial Medical Department. Doctor Hu once left the palace to take care of Lady Zhalute and became good friends with her. Therefore, Lady Zhalute found an opportunity to ask my aunt to pass the gift to me, and then it came to me."

Marychi's eyes were covered with tears: "Mother is thinking about me outside."

"Did my mother embroider this purse for me? And the other one was for Xinyu?"

"Yes, princess."

After Qi Yue finished speaking, Mary couldn't help but hold the purse in her hand, which was emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, and a sweet feeling like eating honey arose in her heart.

"Then does my mother have anything else to say to me? And is my mother okay now? Is Lord Nan Chu good to my mother?"

Marici couldn't help but ask.

Qi Yue slowly recalled the Sixth Princess's question and slowly answered, "What did Lady Zhalute say to the princess? Lady Zhalute said: Maliqi, Mother still misses you and loves you very much even outside. Don't be afraid in the palace. Mother will always love and protect you. Also, you can't act willfully in the palace. Without Mother in the palace, you still have your father. Your father is your last resort, understand?"

"As for Concubine Zhalute's health, my uncle said that she has recovered and is no longer seriously ill. Lord Nanchu treats Concubine Zhalute very well. I heard that Lord Nanchu uses the best furnishings in Concubine Zhalute's room, which is almost the same as the furnishings in the palace."

Qi Yue heard the latter sentence from his aunt, Mrs. Hu.

Maliqi's eyes lit up. "Well, I understand. Tell your uncle that I will listen to my mother in the palace."

"Yes, princess."

……

From then on, the Sixth Princess had a new personal maid, Qi Yue.

In the harem, it was discovered that the Sixth Princess, who had become cold-tempered after her biological mother left, suddenly became enthusiastic towards the Emperor again.

In addition to visiting his ninth sister, she also went to see her father every day, which made Huang Taiji feel a little guilty and fond of this daughter who had lost her mother and was filial to him.
