The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty
Chapter 74 Princess Dunke
"Yinyin, Yinyin, am I still your little sweetheart? How could you be so cold, so heartless, and so cruel to hit my delicate body? Oh, oh, oh, I won't tolerate it!"
Qingyin listened to the pretentious voice in her ears, and felt that the non-existent bumps on her forehead and body were about to rise.
Her eyes were sharp. "Gou Tongzi, can you please stop watching those bloody dramas? Have you paid off your debts? Have you finished your work? Can you get a promotion?"
Tongzi, who was originally full of energy and spirit, became more and more shrunken under Qingyin's questioning, and tears grew in his eyes: "Ahhh, host, please don't say that anymore, I know, I will work hard in the future and reach the peak of Tongsheng as soon as possible!"
After PUAing Gou Tongzi, Qingyin felt relieved. Sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, scolding the thief system is the best way to relieve stress.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Tongzi immediately smiled and said, "Yinyin, let me tell you, your nephew and niece in the previous world were really good. Not only did they release the abandoned crown prince and the eldest prince, they also put the useful brothers and sisters in various fields of expertise. Under your education, they were able to cross the sea and expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty. They have brought you a lot of merit."
Qingyin nodded. The two children were well-behaved and ambitious, and they would succeed in whatever they did.
"But Yinyin, do you want to buy an emotion scrubber? I heard it's very useful."
When it comes to money, Qingyin shook her head firmly, "I just want to go to the small world to play, I don't need this unfair money."
Hearing the host's small world, the system's eyes lit up. He rubbed Qingyin's legs and patted her shoulders like a servile idiot. His actions were extremely flattering. No matter who saw it, he was an unparalleled servile idiot.
"Yinyin, Yinyin, Yinyin, Yinyin..."
Qing Yin raised an eyebrow, "Speak!"
"Hey, Yinyin, I want to try it out too. I'll help you try out the games to see if they're fun, okay?"
Qingyin nodded, feeling comfortable being licked by the lackey system. Qingyin and the system had a great time in the small world before returning to the system space to prepare to take on the next petitioner.
A palace lady who was a little too white, with pale lips, came over. Her facial features were pretty, but her thin chin and pale lips made her look sickly, which made people feel pity.
When she first appeared, she was a little confused. After being awakened by the system space, she walked over with a swaying body as if she understood.
"Dun Ke greets His Excellency."
Qingyin looked at the woman in front of her. Although the palace dress she wore was plain, the fabric and embroidery were undoubtedly rare and precious materials. It seemed that the petitioner was of high status.
Facing this woman who seemed to be about to fall, Qing Yin couldn't help but soften her voice: "Get up first, sit here and talk."
"Thank you, sir." Dun Ke slowly walked in front of Qing Yin and sat down. His every move was graceful and gentle according to the rules.
Dun Ke smiled lightly and said, "My story is a bit long, please listen to it slowly, sir."
Qingyin nodded and looked at Dunke curiously.
"My father was Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and my mother was a concubine named Zhang Jia, the fifteenth child. My mother left me a few years after giving birth to me. I was born in a humble family and had many sisters, so my father didn't favor me. I have an elder brother, and he always blamed me for causing my mother's poor health. He was not close to me. I was a little sad at the time, but I got better after crying more."
Dunke paused for a moment and then insisted:
"It was probably because I cried too much at night, and I caught a cold and had a fever, which damaged my body. From then on, I developed a chronic illness that has never healed. My brother came running from the palace and scolded me for being stupid. I knew he didn't dislike me. When he hugged me, my clothes were soaked with tears. He cared about me. I was very grateful for this. From then on, my brother treated me better and came to see me often. He is the person I care about the most. My brother became more and more powerful when he grew up. He is both civil and military, but he was hindered by his background. Otherwise, my brother would be even better. But my brother is smart. He joined the fourth brother. The fourth brother became the emperor and conferred the title of Prince Heshuoyi on my brother. I am very happy for him."
"I don't have any wishes for my brother. I just hope I won't be a burden to him."
Qing Yin asked gently: "What about you? What is your own wish?"
Dun Ke smiled bitterly: "I hope you can save Lin Rouqing. My wish is only for her."
Thinking of this, Dun Ke was stunned, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness and attachment.
"Lin Rouqing is the legitimate daughter of Lin Zhengjun, the third-rank Dali Temple Minister. I met her in the palace. She has a cousin who entered the palace and became my father's concubine. When Concubine Lin was favored, she invited her family to come and see her. Rouqing was there."
"I was just eight years old at the time. I was crying in the yard and was found by her because she was lost. I didn't tell her my identity. I only said that my mother left because she got sick after giving birth to me. She firmly told me that it was not because of me, but that the stars in the sky came to take my mother away. She wiped my tears and hugged me for a long time. She was really a very gentle person. After that, I didn't see that girl for a long time."
"Later, I learned that Lin Dali Temple Minister was exiled to the northwest by my father for corruption and bribery. It was the first time I realized that the tears in my eyes could be so many and so difficult to shed."
"Fortunately, I saw her again, the high-spirited young man Lin Qingse who had won the first place in the imperial examination. She had lost a lot of weight, and there was more determination in her eyes than before. Her face had changed and was more beautiful. I knew that she and her brother were twins. I also learned from her brother that 'Lin Rouqing' had passed away. I understood the reason, and I had been hiding behind her and secretly watching her."
"She is amazing. She overturned the case for Lord Lin and cleared his grievances. She also took over her father's responsibility, cleared up the world's evil and brought justice to the world. She is really a great and gentle person."
"I thought she would be able to realize her dream, but after I was chosen by my father to marry, I learned of her death on the way. She was found to be a girl and was reported to the emperor. In the carriage, I felt like I was coughing up all my blood. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry at that time."
"Even if I died on the way to the marriage, I couldn't save the champion in my heart."
Two lines of tears had already fallen on Dun Ke's pale face. He looked at Qing Yin with sad eyes, "Please save Lin Rouqing, and let Rouqing continue to shine in the court."
"Okay, sign it." Qingyin nodded, and a contract appeared in front of Dunke.
Dun Ke signed without any hesitation.
"Come, lie in the river of time, and when you wake up you will have everything." Qingyin took the hand of the gentle and kind princess and walked into the river of time.
After a moment of dizziness, Qingyin opened her eyes.
At this time, Dunke was fourteen years old, and Lin Rouqing was already taking the imperial examination. A few months later, Lin Rouqing passed the exam and became the top scorer. They met on the day of the royal winter hunt. It had been quite a long time since then, Qingyin recalled her memory.
Qingyin stood up, gasping for breath due to exhaustion. Her health was really not good. Qingyin frowned slightly.
"Yinyin, how do you want to fulfill the wish of the wisher now?" the system asked curiously.
"Marry her. As long as you have the princess's identity as a guarantee, no one will dare to expose it."
The system was surprised and said: "Yinyin, you are going to turn someone gay again!"
Qing Yin glared at the system, "What's the point of being gay? How can I, a princess, help a Dali Temple minister if the marriage is for a foreign country?"
"Hehe," the cowardly system sneered.
"Check the system to see if there is any medicine that appears to be extremely weak. We must dissuade Kangxi from wanting her to marry."
"Okay! Yinyin, this is a sickness-pretending pill. Not only can it be used to pretend to be sick, but its actual effect is the same as that of a fitness pill. It will have a more special effect when used with a beauty pill."
"Okay, give it to me."
Qingyin took two pills and felt much better. She walked less heavily, then she walked to the dressing mirror and looked at her face carefully.
She is worthy of being a princess, with willow-shaped eyebrows, thin eyes, cherry lips and a delicate nose. Her hair, which has turned yellow due to her frail body, falls on her shoulders. If she were not frail, her face would be more beautiful, but it also makes her look more delicate and pitiful.
"Princess, why don't you call me your servant?" Princess Dunke's personal maid Tao Su immediately supported Qingyin with concern.
Tao Su was a personal maid left by Zhang Jia's daughter. She was the child of Zhang Jia's wet nurse. She grew up with Dun Ke and was very loyal. Because Dun Ke was gentle in nature, she had a stronger and stricter personality, and was more strict in managing the people under her.
Qingyin patted Taosu's arm, "Susu, I just want to get up and drink some water, it's okay."
"The princess is weak, so of course she needs more slaves to command."
Seeing Tao Su's disapproving and self-blaming eyes, Qingyin had no choice but to agree with her to make her feel better.
As time passed, Qingyin began to feel the combined effect of the fake illness pill and the beauty pill. The face in front of her was clearly moving further and further down the path of a sickly beauty.
The originally white and rosy skin evolved directly into a snow-white color like cold jade, and the long yellow hair actually began to turn white. Tao Su was so scared that she quickly went to ask for the imperial physician.
Doctor He, who was forced to be on duty, didn't care at first, but after hearing Tao Su say that the young Fifteenth Princess already had white hair, he ran faster than Tao Su. This was a sign that her vitality was disappearing and she was about to die. Something big had happened to the princess!
Qingyin pretended to be weak and lay on the bed. Her hair, which had turned mostly white, fell on her face, which was so white that it seemed to be transparent. It did not detract from her beauty, but instead made her look more enchanting and cold, which made people doubt their own eyes.
"Princess Dunke?" Doctor He asked tremblingly.
"My Lord Imperial Physician, please come in." Qingyin stretched out her white jade-like hand.
Having been assured, Doctor He dared not look at the princess's enchantingly beautiful face again. He straightened his eyes and put his hand on her pulse.
In just a few seconds, Doctor He's heart trembled, his pulse became weak, and his vitality gradually disappeared. This was a sign of premature death!
"This, this, the princess needs more care."
Doctor He walked out of the inner hall and told Tao Su, who had been winked at, the truth. "Miss Tao Su, this matter is not something we can decide. Send someone to invite the emperor immediately. I will have someone make some tonic medicine to help the princess relieve her dissipated vitality."
Tao Su couldn't help crying, but was afraid that the princess would hear her, so she could only cover her mouth and tremble to make some weak sounds, her eyes full of despair. The princess was obviously so kind, why did that Potian have to take the princess's life?
The eunuch Xiao Lizi who was responsible for delivering the message was full of bitterness. It was not a good job to know that the princess was seriously ill. Unfortunately, he was on duty today and was seen by Aunt Tao Su.
Little Li walked through the corridor and looked at the majestic Qianqing Palace, which he had never been to before. He remembered something important and knelt in front of the guard with a sword, "Please inform the lord that I am in the palace of the fifteenth princess and something has happened to the fifteenth princess."
Upon hearing that it was about the princess, the guards with swords did not dare to delay and happened to bump into Liang Jiugong who came out after hearing the noise.
"Why are you running so fast? Don't you know the rules of the palace?"
The guard immediately knelt down and said, "My Lord, the eunuch of the fifteenth princess has something to report. I heard that the fifteenth princess is ill."
"What! Take me there quickly." Princesses usually don't report minor illnesses to the emperor. Oh no, something bad has happened to the Fifteenth Princess! Liang Jiugong realized the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately brought the panicked and trembling Little Li to the emperor's presence.
Kangxi was discussing the water conservancy affairs of Yangzhou with the Crown Prince Yinreng, Lin Qingse, the new successor who had become the emperor's confidant and a famous figure in the court, and Yu Chenglong, the Governor of the River.
Liang Jiugong did not dare to disturb the emperor's business, so he had to walk back and forth in front of the palace gate to indicate to Kangxi that he had something to do.
Kangxi also noticed his actions. Liang Jiugong had been with him for so many years and knew his temper best. Something must have happened for him to change his mind. He frowned slightly:
"My dear ministers, please go back and discuss today's matter carefully. We will discuss it again tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two officials stepped out consciously.
Kangxi also favored the prince and let him stand aside.
Little Li knelt before Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, the fifteenth princess' hair suddenly turned white. I asked the imperial physician, and he said that the princess' vitality was fading and she was dying. She would not live long."
Although Leo's voice was trembling, he explained the reason quickly and clearly.
Kangxi's body shook for a moment. Although he had many children, the death of any of them would still make him sad. Yinreng also supported the emperor's father with concern. He did not have any feelings for the fifteenth sister. He only remembered that she looked sickly, but he did not expect that she had reached such a serious condition now.
"That child is only fourteen, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Kangxi was silent for a while, "Let's go to the Fifteenth Princess' Palace."
Changchun Palace got the news, and Concubine Yi, who had recorded Dun Ke under her name, looked at Qingyin in panic, who seemed to be asleep behind the curtain in front of her. Her heart and eyes were filled with sorrow. The princess was not well taken care of, and the emperor...
"The Emperor has arrived--" Following the eunuch's sharp announcement, Concubine Yi had no choice but to tidy up her appearance and go to greet Kangxi.
Concubine Yi stood up to salute, but was passed by Kangxi's back, which made her feel even more uneasy.
"How is the princess?"
Doctor He, who had been standing by, finally had his chance to show his skills and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the princess has just taken the medicine and is already lying down."
Kangxi's nervousness eased a little. He walked forward and opened the curtain, but he was stunned where he was. Yinreng, who was following behind the emperor, also seemed to be speechless and just stopped there.
