The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

When Qingyin woke up, she found a thick quilt covering her body and a strong smell of medicine. Obviously Taosu noticed something was wrong and called the imperial physician.

She was still conscious and after smelling the aroma of medicine in the room, she fell into sleep again. When she woke up, it was pitch black in front of her, so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her. It should be night again.

My stomach growled a few times and I felt exhausted. Fortunately, Tao Su, who had been watching me, noticed it, lit a candle, and lifted the gauze curtain.

With the light on, she couldn't help but squint her eyes in bed, and it took her a long time to open her eyes.

"Princess, you finally woke up!" Tao Su's pretty face was filled with tears and her eyes were red.

"Tao Su, why are you a little crybaby again? Girls will become ugly if they cry too much. Stop crying." Qingyin's voice was gentle to begin with, and it was even more touching when she was so deliberate.

"Yes, princess." Tao Su held back her tears and helped Qingyin up. She then tidied up Qingyin's messy hair very gently until she was wrapped up tightly before letting go.

"Ke'er!" This was the call that Kangxi came to as he rushed over after hearing the news that Qingyin had woken up.

"Father, I am here."

Seeing Ke'er's face turn pale after the dampness faded, and finally opened her eyes, Kangxi gently touched her thinner face, and finally the uneasiness in his heart subsided. He did not tell her about the noise of the Qianqing Palace after Qingyin fell asleep. Even he had been up all day and Liang Jiugong persuaded him to stay awake. He had just fallen asleep for less than half an hour when he hurried over again.

As he did every time Qingyin was ill, Kangxi smiled lovingly and said, "Ke'er, what do you want to eat? When you recover, I will have someone make it for you."

Qing Yin smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Father Huang."

This time it was also Qingyin's negligence. The relief pill she took last time had expired, which was why she had a fever for so long.

Qingyin drank the medicine and ate some porridge before closing her eyes again in front of Kangxi's own eyes. Lying on the bed, the petite Qingyin looked like a lifeless doll. Anyone could see from her bloodless face that this lotus growing on the top of the snow mountain was slowly withering.

Looking at Qingyin who closed her eyes, Kangxi was silent for a long time. At this moment, he was no longer the majestic emperor in the court, but a father who watched his daughter gradually become weak and helpless.

"You also reported it to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, right?"

Tao Su knew that His Majesty was asking her, and she responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Ask the Royal Madam and the Royal Mother to come and see Ke'er tomorrow. It's too late today and Ke'er has fallen asleep. We don't want the Royal Madam and the Royal Mother to worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palaces of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were far away, so the notification arrived later. Before they could arrive, the second oral order came.

Forget it, I hope Ke'er wakes up. I'll see her tomorrow.

The empty attic fell silent again, until the next day when the sound of a few sparrows flying in the dim sky dispelled the silence and darkness in the room.

Qingyin felt a little more refreshed after this sleep. With Aying's support and Taosu's help in dressing up, Qingyin sat on the chair to stretch her muscles which had become soft from sleep.

Although the illness was serious this time and it did scare the emperors again, it was indeed a good opportunity to petition the emperor. Well, I'll mention it when the emperor comes to see me. Qingyin leaned lazily in the chair, enjoying the massage service of the palace maids.

After a while, there was a burst of anxious footsteps at the door.

It was Kangxi who came, along with the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother.

Seeing Qingyin looking normal and able to sit up, the few of them regained their composure and slowed down their pace.

Qing Yin stood up in surprise and said, "Royal Father, Royal Mother, Royal Mother!"

Kangxi, who was the fastest, grabbed his daughter and helped Qingyin to sit down. "You, sit down quickly. My mother and I will sit down naturally without you telling us to."

"Yes, Ke'er, you are not in good health, so sit still." The Empress Dowager said slowly. The Empress Dowager, who was not very good at Chinese, did not hear the Empress Dowager's words clearly, but she heard Kangxi's words clearly. She looked at Qingyin lovingly and nodded, indicating that she also agreed with Kangxi's words.

The atmosphere was as warm as that of an ordinary folk, but it was soon broken by Qingyin's words of hope:

"Father, I want to marry Master Lin Qingse."

The atmosphere became a little tense. Kangxi narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked calmly, "Ke'er, have you met Lin Qingse?" How did this good minister of his seduce his good daughter? There was anger towards Lin Qingse hidden in his tone.

Qingyin seemed unaware of it. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her face flushed with shyness, which was so beautiful that it made people marvel. "I met Minister Lin Qingse once before during the winter hunt. Minister Zuo is handsome and well-educated, but..."

Thinking of her own body, Qingyin lowered her long and thick eyelashes like crow feathers, and said sadly: "I know my son's body even if you don't tell me. Life is short. I want to marry him. After I die, let him find another soulmate."

Hearing Qingyin's humble words, Kangxi felt extremely distressed. How could that boy have the honor to marry his most precious pearl, and to make Ke'er make such a...request. He held Qingyin's cheeks distressedly and gently wiped away the tears rolling down her face.

Compared with Kangxi, who was unable to suppress his anger, the Empress Dowager was more stable. She knew Lin Qingse, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination last year and was selected by Xuanye as the left minister. She should be a capable person. Ke'er's body was indeed... It would be better to just obey Ke'er. If that boy dared to do something against his will, he could just be sent away, so as to avoid making Ke'er sad. At this time, the always kind Empress Dowager showed her sharpness after three dynasties.

Looking at Qingyin with red eyes, the Empress Dowager spoke gently: "Okay, since Ke'er likes it, the Emperor should agree!"

The Queen Mother obviously thought so too, and she also looked towards Kangxi.

Kangxi felt the looks from several people and could only nod reluctantly, although he could not refuse Qingyin.

No matter what, if that boy marries Ke'er and dares to marry again, he will definitely send him to the underworld intact to accompany Ke'er.

Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief after getting the accurate news. Although it was a sure thing, it was still unreassuring until the end. Fortunately, it was achieved.

The next day, Lin Qingse in the court didn't know that a great thing had come to him. He stood calmly in the team, listening calmly to his colleagues' reports on the meeting.

But he always felt that the emperor seemed to glare at him a few times. Was it his illusion?
