The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

The Empress Dowager was quite shocked by the news that the unmarried Fourth Prince had moved out of the palace. She couldn't understand the Emperor's thoughts. Ever since he threatened her with Zhen'er in order to marry Concubine Xian last time, she rarely took the initiative to ask about the Emperor's affairs.

The only thing she did was to cover up the Queen's attempt to harm Concubine Xian last time, so as to prevent the Emperor from finding out the truth.

Looking at the increasingly crazy queen, the empress dowager was really worried that this lunatic would drag Ulanara into the water one day. She also felt regretful for letting Rouze (Queen Chunyuan) enter the fourth prince's palace. The previous Ulanara Yixiu was not so crazy, but since Rouze... Oh, forget it, the position of queen can only belong to Ulanara, and no one can get past it. The empress dowager's eyes became more and more deep.

Zhen Huan looked at the Fourth Prince who was out of the palace and could not help her. No! Longyue must be taken back. She had to let the child help her win favor.

"Jinxi, please ask Sister Mei to come over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Hui, who had rushed over from Xianfu Palace, and Shen Meizhuang walked over anxiously.

"Huan'er, what happened?"

Zhen Huan shook her head, pulled the anxious Shen Meizhuang to sit down, and cried, "Sister Mei, I want my Longyue back."

Shen Meizhuang looked embarrassed, "But Longyue was raised by Concubine Jing with great care after all. They have a deep affection for each other, and Concubine Jing is also a loving mother..."

"Sister Mei!"

Looking at Zhen Huan's pleading eyes, Shen Meizhuang's heart softened.

"I know that if Longyue returns to my side, I will definitely offend Concubine Jing, but Concubine Xian is now the only one in power. Sister Mei is worried that one day the emperor will never come to Yongshou Palace again."

"No way, Huan'er, you still have Lingxi and Hongzhan."

Shen Meizhuang met Zhen Huan's fragile eyes, her tone gradually became weaker. Although Concubine Jing treated her well, Concubine Jing and Huan'er were incomparable. She changed her tone and said, "Huan'er, do you know that Longyue has been following Concubine Jing since she was a child? It's not easy to win her back."

Zhen Huan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Sister Mei, I plan to hint to the emperor directly. Isn't the emperor acting like this because he is not close to the current queen mother? I think the emperor will understand my motherly heart."

Shen Meizhuang hesitated, "Don't you want to talk to Concubine Jing again? This..."

Zhen Huan interrupted Shen Meizhuang and smiled bitterly, "Sister Mei, it is inevitable that Concubine Jing and I will be estranged. As for Longyue, I can only apologize to Concubine Jing later."

When Shen Meizhuang returned to Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing saw Shen Meizhuang showing a trace of guilt towards Longyue after she was called away. Her heart sank. It seemed that Zhen Huan was already prepared.

"Mother, mother, you don't know how cute little brother Hongche is. His eyelashes are so long, they seem to be longer than Longyue's little finger joint..."

Concubine Jing responded without disappointment: "Oh, really!"

"Yes, yes, brother Hongcheol is so cute!"

She held Longyue in her arms and coaxed her to sleep for a while before finally making her fall asleep. Looking at Longyue's quiet and well-behaved sleeping face, the reluctance in Concubine Jing's eyes turned into determination.

She had been in the palace for so long and had seen countless concubines rise and fall. Empress Chunyuan and Concubine Hua had been favored for a while, but then fell heavily. She didn't believe that Zhen Huan would be one of them. She would not let Zhen Huan snatch her daughter away.

She personally raised Longyue from a small child into the lively girl she is today. In her heart, Longyue has long been her biological daughter and she will never let go.

On the second day, Concubine Jing brought Longyue to Yuehua Palace.

Concubine Jing: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine."

Qingyin: "Sister Jingfei, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Concubine Jing secretly sighed, no matter how many times she saw Concubine Xian's face, she would always be amazed. No wonder Zhen Huan was so flustered.

Qingyin looked at Concubine Jing who looked embarrassed, and Longyue who was waiting expectantly beside her. She understood that Concubine Jing came to ask her for something.

She smiled and asked Longyue to take Hongche to the side hall to play. Only Concubine Jing, her chief maid Ruyi, and Qingyin's people were left in the side hall.

Looking at the inner hall where no outsiders were, Concubine Jing begged, "Your Majesty, I know I am very abrupt, but I really have no choice. Longyue is Concubine Xi's biological child, but I have treated her as my own flesh and blood. Please help me, Your Majesty, don't let me and Longyue be separated."

Qingyin sighed a little, Zhen Huan was so amazing, she personally sent every talent into her hands, but she also understood how much pressure her existence put on Zhen Huan, the emperor's favor towards her had given her confidence, but now the confidence was gone and she had to seek external help, but unfortunately this step directly sent her own people into her hands.

Qingyin agreed to Concubine Jing's request. When Yongzheng returned to Yuehua Palace, he saw Qingyin's sad face. Although Qingyin was still stunningly beautiful, Yongzheng didn't want any negative emotions to appear on her face.

He held Qingyin and sat down, then coaxed her, "What's wrong? Xian'er."

Qing Yin frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, which one is more important, the grace of giving birth or the grace of raising a child?"

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows. He was a little confused, but he still said for Qingyin: "It depends on the situation. Some people's biological mothers gave birth to them but didn't care about them, while they grew up under the careful care of their adoptive mothers. That means they were born with great gratitude. Everyone is different, but the one who is truly kind and does the best must be the one with the greatest gratitude."

For example, he had only Concubine Tong who was good to him. Thinking of that gentle but young beautiful woman, his eyes felt a little lost.

Qingyin nodded, "I think so too."

Yongzheng looked at the cute and gentle Qingyin, and his heart warmed. "When our children are born, I will teach them with Xian'er, and ride horses, shoot arrows, and study with Che'er, okay?"

Qingyin smiled and said, "Then your Majesty will have a lot of hard times in the future. With so many children, they will probably make a lot of noise. I can't stand it."

"Okay, I will teach them and make them all become excellent Baturu and princesses of our Qing Dynasty."

Thinking of that scene, Yongzheng's heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey, completely unaware of the love and worry he would have for these children in the future.

After talking to Qingyin and even dreaming of children's laughter, Yongzheng got up from bed refreshed. When he met Zhen Huan who came to him crying and complaining about her biological mother and adoptive mother, his face turned cold. He finally understood why Xian'er said these words to him. He looked at Zhen Huan, who implied from her words that the biological mother treated the child better.

He sneered: "I remember that Longyue is Zhen's child, are you?"

"emperor?"

Zhen Huan looked at the indifferent emperor in disbelief. She was deeply hurt. Although he had been indifferent for such a long time, she still felt that she was special. She thought that if she said this, the emperor would agree.

Yongzheng looked at the distraught Zhen Huan and became more and more annoyed. He ignored her and walked past her.

Zhen Huan raised her head only after Yongzheng had gone far away. She straightened her back stubbornly, but her back revealed a sense of embarrassment.
