The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

As soon as Yongqi walked into the room, Xiaoyanzi's screams and cries were heard one after another.

Hearing the sound, Ziwei hurried into the inner room. Looking at Xiaoyanzi lying on the bed half dead, she couldn't help crying out loud.

"Xiaoyanzi told you to go to the banquet early, and look at you now... I..."

"Ziwei, you're here, ah, it hurts! It's all that woman's fault, ouch, my butt hurts so much." Xiaoyanzi turned her head in surprise, but unfortunately, because the movement was too large, the pain in her butt became more obvious, and she grimaced in pain.

Seeing the miserable Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, who was blocked by Ziwei and others, finally came out from the shadows. His love and care for her in the past made him feel guilty and distressed.

He pursed his lips and said patiently, "Xiaoyanzi, I brought some medicine for wounds. Apply it three times a day. Ask the maid to apply it on you. The emperor has confined you to your room, so we can't come to see you too often. Remember not to sneak out. The emperor will definitely punish you twice as much next time."

Seeing Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi forgot about Ziwei's existence. Her surprised look turned into resentment after hearing Yongqi's words. "Yongqi, you have changed, and the emperor has also changed. It was obviously about that woman, but you want to punish me. I might as well go back to the common people. I hate that woman and I hate you!"

"Xiaoyanzi, do you know what you are talking about? How dare you talk about it, Father Emperor? Are you afraid that your identity will not be discovered? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Xiaoyanzi looked at Yongqi's cold eyes, and seemed to be back to the scene when she was punished and did not move at all. She felt a little guilty and a little frightened, as if something had left her.

The more scared she was, the more angry she became. Xiaoyanzi yelled angrily, "All of you, get out! All of you, get out! I don't want to see you again!"

Ziwei, who was ignored by her, was extremely disappointed when she saw Xiaoyanzi, who was still willful. No matter how much she loved Xiaoyanzi, she didn't like being nice to someone and then having them treat her coldly. She could only follow Yongqi who left in a huff.

The two walked out of the palace. Yongqi still had some feelings for this gentle adopted sister. He comforted the sad Ziwei with a few words and then left.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qianlong, who was reviewing memorials with a pen, also received a report from the secret guard. His grip on the pen froze, and the ink on the tip of the pen soaked into a black stain on the yellowed paper.

"Yongqi and his men were chased out by Xiaoyanzi, and before they left, Xiaoyanzi yelled at them a few times. You were far away outside, so didn't you hear clearly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The secret guard knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to look at the emperor's expression. He could only see the emperor's black embroidered robe fluttering in front of his eyes, as if it also carried some kind of dangerous signal.

Qianlong casually asked everyone to leave.

He didn't care about Xiaoyanzi. She was just a pet that he was interested in. But a pet wanted to damage his treasure. How could he accept that? So he punished her severely. However, Yongqi, his favorite candidate for the crown prince, challenged his authority again and again. How should he deal with him?

On the other side, Ziwei, who had separated from Yongqi, somehow walked to the road to the Qianqing Palace. Looking at the majestic palace in front of her, Ziwei was a little dazed.

"who?"

Ziwei looked at the guards who were staring at her in full alert. Her mind went blank. It was Jinsuo who was standing at the side who said cleverly, "I am the maid of Concubine Ling. Concubine Ling sent me to deliver something to Concubine Yu."

Hearing that it was the person of Concubine Ling, who had always been favored in the palace, the guards guarding the door did not dare to refuse and softened their tone, "Miss, please wait for me to report first, and then reply to the girls."

"Okay." Ziwei had no choice but to stay outside the Qianqing Palace.

Qing Yin, who was awake and eating snacks in the room, was interrupted by the maid who came to report. Qing Yin opened her red lips and said, "You said that Concubine Ling's maid came to see me?"

"Yes, Madam." The maid who reported the news blushed and dared not look at the extremely beautiful imperial concubine. Listening to the gentle and charming voice of the imperial concubine, the little maid felt that her ears seemed to become numb uncontrollably. Her eyes glanced at the jade-like fingers of the imperial concubine, and her face turned red. The emperor is so lucky to have such a beauty as the imperial concubine! The little maid thought to herself.

"Let them in." Qing Yin was a little curious. The Empress Ling Fei, who was known for her kindness and gentleness in the palace, actually sent someone to see her so quickly! Was she afraid of her and wanted to cause trouble for her?

Outside the palace, Ziwei felt complicated when she learned that her husband had been approved. It was the first time she had entered the emperor's bedroom.

Qingyin sat at the head of the table and saw the two maids in palace dress. One of them was much more outstanding, with delicate and beautiful features and the gentleness that is unique to the women of the Jiangnan water town. There was also a hidden pride in her eyebrows and eyes. She was elegant and graceful, a rare and refined beauty. The other one was much less beautiful, no different from an ordinary palace maid, and even habitually focused on the one next to her.

Qingyin had a guess in her mind, and the sudden appearance of the system confirmed her guess.

"Host, this is Ziwei, one of the protagonists! You got to see her so soon!"

Qingyin's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden voice of the system, and he directly muted a certain system.

"Since you were sent by Concubine Ling, tell me what's going on!"

As soon as the two entered the room, they were stunned by Concubine Yu's appearance. They stood there in a daze, without having time to respond to Qingyin's words.

Looking at the two people standing there stupidly, Qingyin found it a little funny and smiled at them.

"Does it look good?"

Ziwei's face flushed when she woke up. She pulled Jinsuo and knelt down quickly. "Your Majesty is a beauty of nature, unmatched by anyone in the world. I am sorry for being rude."

Qingyin lifted the hair that fell in front of her eyes and said with interest, "You have such a sweet mouth. What's your name?"

"My servant Ziwei, she is Jinsuo."

"Well, just now you said that Concubine Ling sent something. What did she send?"

Ziwei looked at Qingyin who turned away, and felt a little disappointed for some reason. However, she did not forget Jinsuo's previous reason. She took out the lily purse she had made and said shyly, "Empress Lingfei heard that you came to the Qing Dynasty from afar and must be a little tired. She asked me to give you a gold thread purse with some soothing herbs in it to help you sleep. I hope you like it."

Ziwei is kind but not stupid. She fulfilled the lie that Jinsuo had told earlier. Although the gift was just a purse, it was better than lying. She forced herself to cool down the heat on her face and explained her purpose to the extraordinarily beautiful empress.

This gift was originally intended for Erkang. He had been very tired these days, and although he hadn't come to see her, she wanted to give him a gift to make him feel better.

Now looking at the Imperial Concubine Yu sent by Fu Erkang, Ziwei had some guesses in her mind. Erkang also saw this lady who looked like a fairy concubine, right? No wonder she didn't come... Looking at Qingyin, Ziwei didn't feel jealous. It would be fine if a person was only a little beautiful, but Imperial Concubine Yu was much more beautiful than her. She thought, if she were Erkang, she couldn't control her love for the lady.
