The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Hesheli had seen this little niece, and she was indeed pretty, but unfortunately she was a little weak. When Hesheli heard her husband's suggestion of a candidate, she tried to stop him, but received a strange response from Tong Guowei. He said:

"You don't understand. Yu'er is different. Maybe she can really lead the family down a different path."

After receiving the response, Hesheli was still full of doubts and puzzled about her husband's statement.

Now she understood for sure. Although the girl in front of her was still young, she was extremely beautiful. Her slightly immature face had a hint of Burmese color that was difficult to conceal, a pair of misty eyes under her curved eyebrows, a faint blush on her cheeks, and especially the red mole between her eyebrows, which made her look like a god descended to the earth. When she moved, she was both divine and lustful, attracting every mortal who paid attention to her for no reason.

Hesheli followed Qingyin's words in a daze for several seconds, and only came back to her senses when she returned to the palace.

In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong was waiting anxiously for Hesheli's arrival. Although the excuse this time was indeed to get family members into the palace, her mother would indeed come to see her. Thinking of her mother whom she hadn't seen for several years, Concubine Tong's eyes showed some anticipation.

Looking at the anxious Concubine Tong, Yayu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already asked Xiao Quanzi and the others to meet them at the palace gate. I estimate that Madam and the others will be here soon."

"Well, okay." Concubine Tong also smiled. Perhaps because of Hesheli's arrival, her complexion seemed better.

Not long after, there was a noise outside, and it was obvious that Hesheli had arrived.

Along the way, Hesheli quickly figured out the personalities of the girls she brought with her. The girls from Pianzhi were more reserved and honest, but her eldest niece was a little hard to describe. She looked around when she entered the palace, which made Hesheli frightened. However, the one who made her most at ease was undoubtedly the quiet Qingyin, who had a good personality, didn't cause trouble, and was very outstanding, which was really rare.

However, when she arrived at Chengqian Palace, Hesheli cared most about her biological little daughter Tong Jia Rouwei.

Qingyin also knelt down behind Hesheli and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Tong!"

"Get up quickly, mother and sisters."

Hesheli then looked up, and her eyes suddenly turned red when she saw Concubine Tong lying sick in bed. Concubine Tong was busy looking after her mother and did not notice Qingyin behind her.

She found an excuse and asked Yayu to take them to the side hall. Yayu led a few people to the side hall. Qingyin was walking in the middle and was not easy to notice. It was not until a few people started to sit down in the side hall that Yayu noticed Qingyin's appearance.

She was stunned. If the person sent by the palace was Miss Qingyu, she would definitely be able to achieve her wish of becoming a concubine.

Qingyin also noticed Yayu who was staring at her. She smiled slightly. In fact, it was not only Yayu who was staring at her. Several distant relatives who came here with her were also staring at her eagerly and vying to talk to her.

The most enthusiastic one was Tong Jiahexiang, the daughter of a branch. She was the youngest and could not hide her love. She sat on the left of Qingyin and said, "Cousin Yu'er, you are so pretty. Can I go play with you in the future?"

Qingyin smiled gently, "Okay, Xiangxiang can come find me."

With Qingyin's permission, Tong Jia and Xiang couldn't hide the smile on their faces and couldn't help but smile widely.

Looking at Tong Jia and Xiang who were smiling somewhat silly, the others felt a little disgusted, but when they saw Qing Yin agreeing, they couldn't help but make the same request, and also got Qing Yin's consent. Maybe they themselves didn't expect that the smiles on their faces were even more silly than Tong Jia and Xiang's, and they were equally silly.

Looking at the popular Qingyin, Tong Jia Wanying felt jealous and awkward. Her attitude towards her had indeed changed a lot since she saw Qingyin's men's clothing, but looking at the popular Qingyin she still couldn't help feeling jealous in her heart.

She snorted coldly, but no one cared, except Yayu who had been observing this. She took note of her and felt a little unhappy, waiting to report it to Concubine Tong.

The warmth between the mother and daughter in the inner room lasted for a long time. Hesheli gently touched Concubine Tong's head and said, "The little girl who is coming to the mansion is your uncle's second daughter, Tong Jia Qingyu. She is much more outstanding than others. Wei'er doesn't need to do much. Just let it go."

Listening to her mother's words, Concubine Tong became curious and thought of the cute little girl in her memory. "Isn't cousin Yu'er only fifteen years old now? Isn't she a little too young?"

However, since her cousin Yu'er was able to surpass her eldest cousin, she believed even more what her mother said about her being "much more outstanding".

Hesheli smiled and said, "These are not a big deal. You will know when you see Yu'er later."

Concubine Tong also smiled and said, that’s right, she would meet him eventually in her palace.

In the imperial study, Kangxi, wearing a black and gold robe with dragon pattern, was looking at the memorials in front of him. He was middle-aged, with a strong face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His figure was well maintained after years of hunting training. Except for the slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his age was almost unnoticeable.

"Is Concubine Tong coming?"

Hearing the intimidating voice beside him, Liang Jiugong bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Madam Hesheli also brought General Tong Guowei's two daughters and several daughters from the side branches."

"The Tong family... that's all."

Kangxi's eyes grew darker. He certainly understood that Concubine Tong's request was not simple, but he still felt soft in his heart when he saw the weak Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong was his sister who he had watched grow up, and Kangxi had a family relationship with her.

Liang Jiugong listened to the silence and lowered his head even more respectfully.

Chengqian Palace, Qingyin and others did not leave after just taking a look. The emperor's oral order allowed them to stay in the palace for about a month. The obvious meaning was that they should accompany Concubine Tong, who had not much time left.

Qingyin was also prepared. During this period of time, she had adjusted the appearance of this body to an eight-point level. As time went by, the appearance would reach the highest level.

If Hesheli and the others knew about this, they would probably not only like Qingyin's appearance, but also have some sensitive concerns.

At night, Imperial Concubine Tong also saw the appearance of her cousin Yu'er. The girl in front of her had skin that did not look dark at all against the white dress. Instead, it made her skin look like snow. Her eyes were brighter than a thousand stars, and her breathtaking beauty was enough to capture anyone's eyes and heart. Even though Imperial Concubine Tong had made sufficient preparations, she was still stunned and her breath stopped.

Being a little prettier than others does make people jealous, but being far more beautiful than others can only make people feel daunted.

Concubine Tong also saw from her clear eyes that the girl in front of her was not a bad person. Looking at Qingyin, who still had a little baby fat, she waved her hand gently, "Cousin Yu'er, come closer so that I can have a good look at you too."

Qingyin also saw that there was no malice in Concubine Tong's eyes. She walked up to Concubine Tong, and even squatted down considerately and lifted her face up to hold it in front of Concubine Tong.

A series of small movements were completed in an instant. That cute lift made Concubine Tong suddenly understand the feelings of her good friend who once boasted to her about having a little sister. It was so cute that Concubine Tong couldn't help but gently pinched the cheek flesh in front of her. Sure enough, it felt very good.

Qingyin didn't expect that Concubine Tong would actually reach out her hand. Looking at the dazed Qingyin, Concubine Tong couldn't help but reveal the most relaxed smile in these days.

"Yu'er is so cute, I just couldn't help it." Concubine Tong changed her address smoothly, smiling and blinking, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, but you have to give me more snacks to keep my mouth shut." Qingyin curved her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled, revealing the subtle dimples on her face, which made people feel sweet in their hearts.

Yayu, who was watching on the side, suddenly understood her master's action. With such a sweet girl in front of you, who can resist kissing and touching her!

"Okay, okay, there are enough snacks in my palace. Just tell Yayu what you want to eat."

After he finished speaking, there was laughter in the palace.

During this period of time, Qingyin has become a doll in Concubine Tong's dress-up game. Concubine Tong is so fascinated by this game that she even feels much less pain from her illness.

Today, Qingyin was dressed up in a pink cheongsam with cherry blossom patterns and a cheongsam head of matching color. Her whole figure was even more graceful and eye-catching, which made Concubine Tong extremely satisfied.

Concubine Tong didn't want to confine the young girls to the palace, and ordered people to take them to the imperial garden or somewhere else to play. However, the one who volunteered to stay with her the most was Qingyin. Apart from her mother who always accompanied her, Qingyin was the one who accompanied her the most.

After spending some time together, Imperial Concubine Tong and Hesheli looked at Qingyin with more tenderness. Sincerity is the most precious thing. How could an imperial concubine who has been in the palace for so many years not see through the hypocrisy? Looking at Qingyin who was sitting quietly peeling an orange, Imperial Concubine Tong's voice was as gentle as water:

"Yu'er, just ask the servants to peel the oranges. Don't get your hands too dirty."

Qingyin nodded, "This orange peel is thin, and it's not a big deal. Your Majesty can have a little to sweeten your mouth."

"Okay, that's great. I'll come and taste the oranges that Yu'er peeled herself."

Looking at the two people talking and laughing, Hesheli couldn't help but feel a little expectant. Her daughter seemed to be getting better during this period of time. Was she getting better?

Qingyin felt a little uncomfortable and regretful towards the gentle Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong was suffering from a terminal illness and her medicine could not save her. It could only make her feel better in her last moments.

At night, because of Qingyin and Tong Jia Wanying's relationship, they slept in the same room. Tong Jia Wanying, who often ran out during this period, was still thinking if she would have a chance to meet Sisi. However, during these few days, apart from palace maids and eunuchs, she didn't meet a single respectable-looking prince. She felt depressed.

Looking at Qingyin with her inner clothes folded, she was a little angry, "What's the point of you trying to please Concubine Tong like this? She's going to die, what good can it do for you!"

Qing Yin was a little angry, "Madam Tong Guifei is kind and gentle, I am willing to spend more time with her."

Tong Jia Wanying was a little slow to react when she was pushed back. She was used to Qing Yin always going along with her, and suddenly she was pushed back like this. She became even angrier. Looking at Qing Yin who turned her head away and ignored her, she could only hold back what was in her heart. She was angry for a long time before she fell asleep.

On the second day, Qingyin, who woke up early, was dressed by Concubine Tong in a white smoke gauze dress. She wore a magnolia hairpin inlaid with silver beads. The pearl tassels swayed slightly with her movements. The simple headdress made her elegant and refined temperament even more extraordinary. Driven by the breeze, she looked like a fairy about to fly away, and everyone in the palace was so startled that they stopped where they were.

Is this Miss Qingyu more beautiful? The servants in the palace thought to themselves as they were cleaning.

The weather is good today, and Concubine Tong strongly asked Qingyin to go out for a walk and not stay here with her all the time.

Qingyin, who was driven out, had no choice but to stare at Jinbao, the trusted maid sent by Concubine Tong. Helu, who was standing behind Qingyin, smiled secretly. After a while, Qingyin said:

"Why don't we go to the Imperial Garden?"

Unlike Qingyin's daze, Jinbao was simply excited as if he had been hit on the head by luck. Looking at the beautiful Miss Qingyu, Jinbao's heart was filled with joy.

"Miss Qingyu, please come with me. The tulips in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom these days, in large patches. They are so attractive. If Miss Qingyu doesn't like them, there are also lotus flowers, peonies, roses and so on. Just ask me what you want to see." Jin Bao patted his chest and said happily.

Looking at the excited Jinbao, Qingyin understood why Concubine Tong sent such a simple little maid to take care of her. Although she was simple, she was very familiar with the environment in the palace and was lively. If she wanted to go somewhere to play, it would be very easy to take such a little maid with her.

Qing Yin nodded and smiled gently, "What's your name?"

Jin Bao blushed at the beauty's smile, and she shyly replied, "My servant Jin Bao."

"Okay, JINBO, let's go see the tulips you mentioned."

"Yeah." Jin Bao felt sweeter in the heart after her suggestion was accepted, as if she had eaten honey. She couldn't help but think that Miss Qingyu was so gentle and beautiful. She was so lucky to be able to get along with Miss Qingyu for so long!

Jinbao led Qingyin around and soon they arrived at the Imperial Garden. Before they reached the place she mentioned, Helu was already amazed at the beauty of the Imperial Garden. It was worthy of being the Royal Garden. There were so many species of flowers that she had never seen before, and they all bloomed so beautifully. I wonder how beautiful the tulips that Jinbao mentioned must be!

Qingyin felt the beauty of different kinds of flowers, and her eyes narrowed slightly in enjoyment. Beautiful things always move people.

Not long after, Qingyin also saw the tulips that Jinbao had mentioned. They were indeed beautiful, red, green, white, yellow... all kinds of colors mixed together, and under the breeze, they were beautiful beyond measure. No matter how beautiful the flowers were, they were not as beautiful as the person standing there.

On a whim, Kangxi came to the Imperial Garden when he heard the tulips were in bloom. Looking at the stunning beauty standing among the tulips, who was more beautiful than the flowers, he was stunned. He looked at the beauty in the distance almost predatoryly.

"Go check who that is."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong lowered his head immediately before he could see the woman in the distance clearly. He tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart. Whose girl was this to grow up like this? It seemed that there would be a new empress in the palace soon.
