Since Nian Gengyao went to Junggar Jiesheng, he has been stationed in Qinghai.

The soldiers were also laid off on a large scale, and the family property was also distributed, showing an appearance of sincere repentance.

However, Longkodo relied on Uya Chengbi and Empress Xiaoyi Ren, and became more and more arrogant.

Yinzhen laughed secretly, still remembering that day when he went to Tong's house, he just said it casually and called Longkodo "uncle", and Longkodo agreed straightforwardly.

As for that cousin, go and learn the story of Lady Gouyi.

Yinzhen was an emperor, and he knew very well what was auspicious and what was not.

Yinzhen looked at the kneeling Concubine Qi, and suddenly the scene of her just entering the mansion flashed through his mind.

The girl in the pink Manchu dress had a few gold hairpins in her hair, but most of them were velvet flowers.

When she saw him come in, she raised her head slightly, staring at him with her big round eyes, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a light blush on her cheeks.

When I responded with a smile, she became shy and timid, not daring to look at me at all.

"Your servant greets Prince Yong."

"Your Majesty, please spare me for the sake of my bearing you the Third Prince!"

Liu Hua took a few steps back, leaving enough space for Concubine Qi to hug Yinzhen's legs and cry.

Liu Hua looked at Concubine Qi, whose tears had completely eroded her makeup, leaving two white lines on her face.

In public and private, I also hope that Yinzhen can give me a light punishment but Yinzhen is helpless as he sees that my beauty has faded and my appearance has faded. My former playful and lively appearance has turned into a tantrum.

There would be no nostalgia at all. Liu Hua and An Lingrong both noticed the disgust in Yinzhen's eyes.

Liu Hua hurriedly pulled Concubine Qi back, then wiped her nose with a handkerchief, looking at Yinzhen cautiously while wiping.

Yixiu also did not want Zhen Huan and Tong Jia Yunrong to be concubines at the same time, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please spare Concubine Qi for once. After all, she is the biological mother of the Third Prince."

It would have been fine if Yixiu didn't mention the Third Prince, but as soon as she mentioned the Third Prince, Yinzhen remembered the master in the South Study this morning and apologized to Yinzhen.

He said: Third Prince is very intelligent and knows nine out of ten things. I am afraid that I am not qualified to be his teacher.

Yinzhen had laughed secretly before, but this time he laughed out loud.

He looked at Concubine Qi who was standing in a daze in front of him, then turned around to look at Zhen Huan who was crying on the couch.

Looking at Concubine Qi who was being used as a pawn, he thought with disgust: "I am so smart. If it weren't for this biological mother, how could my eldest son be so stupid?"

He no longer cared about their past friendship and said bluntly, "Concubine Qi Li is extremely foolish and incapable of teaching the Third Prince. Moreover, she believed the rumors today and framed the concubines.

She was demoted to a concubine and secluded in Changchun Palace. No one was allowed to visit her without imperial decree. She was also required to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for Princess Longyue.

Concubine Qi looked at Yinzhen in disbelief. She never expected that he would take her son away.

She stopped crying and sat down on the ground, staring at Yinzhen with dull and lifeless eyes.

But Yinzhen showed no sympathy. Liu Hua knew that he was even more disgusted and quickly said, "Dongli, why don't you quickly send Concubine Qi back to Changchun Palace and remember to take good care of her."

Liu Hua helped Li Jingyan up stumblingly, and Dongli and Caiju were about to touch Li Jingyan.

Li Jingyan mustered up her courage and said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, if you think it's my fault, then it's my fault. But Cuiguo is innocent, so please forgive her."

Yinzhen naturally knew that Concubine Qi was also being played like a monkey. In order to maintain his benevolent appearance and not wanting to cause any more trouble, he nodded slightly.

Yonghe Palace

Liu Hua was exhausted after a whole day and applied a hot water bag to his forehead.

At this time, Caiju came over carrying a booklet and said, "Your Majesty, this was specially sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It says it contains the detailed arrangements for the concubines."

Liu Hua said speechlessly: "Don't all the concubines live in Chuxiu Palace? How else can we arrange it?"

Dong Li explained promptly, "The Empress and the concubines are living together as a group of four. The palace is afraid of causing trouble. It has always been the case that people of equal family background live together."

Liu Hua said "Oh" and understood, "So now they are showing it to me because they want me to arrange roommates for them."

Without waiting for Dongli to continue explaining, Liu Hua opened the first page of the booklet and found that the embroiderers had already been paired up.

But the first row is particularly eye-catching - Tong Jia Yunrong and Fu Rujin.

【Zhouzhuang Town】

The golden light of the evening sprinkled on the black-sailed boat. The willows had turned completely green, and the wind quietly slapped the trickling water.

The pink walls and black tiles, the flowing water under the small bridge, and the mist rising from the lake in the evening all came into Fu Rujin's sight.

Fu Rujin got off the boat and, supported by her wet nurse, walked across the stone arch bridge.

Today she was going to visit her uncle, who was an aide to the Governor of Southern Zhili.

During the New Year this year, he gave his portrait to the governor, who then submitted his name for the Eight Banners selection.

Fu Rujin was born in the Five Banners during the Han Dynasty. Her grandfather was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, but because he offended someone, he was demoted to Jiangnan.

After my father and mother got married, they lived in the house that my grandfather bought in Jiangnan all year round.

Fu Rujin was influenced by the Western books in her grandfather's room since she was a child.

My grandfather also loved Fu Rujin very much because his sons did not understand what he was thinking.

Fu Rujin never thought that she would return to Kyoto, nor did she expect that she would be a concubine.

Ever since someone told him the good news last time, her father has been very active in getting her to visit relatives in various places.

Fu Ruyin knew very well that this was inappropriate because she was now a concubine to be selected.

She walked on the bluestone street with a long white cloth on her head.

Another veil was placed on her face, and a circle was formed around her by the elderly maids in the family.

Wherever he goes, he attracts the attention of the crowd.

The sun was setting further and further west, hanging above the green hills in the distance.

There is a narrow river next to the street. Fu Rujin usually discusses Western books at home and rarely goes out.

Looking at it this way now, I am more convinced of the reputation of Jiangnan - when you go to Jiangnan, you will see that every family lives by the river.

But then, thinking of the northern wind and snow and the dry climate in Kyoto, Fu Rujin became a little worried.

My hand accidentally grasped a Western thread-bound book, which was "Elements of Geometry".

Feeling the pages of the book that had been crumpled by her, Fu Rujin considerately smoothed them out and held them against her chest.

The persimmon tree with lush green leaves no longer looks the same as it did in late autumn last year, but the persimmon seedlings emerging from under the bluestone slabs reveal its abundant fruitfulness last year.

Fu Rujin walked lightly and knocked three times on an ancient wooden door.

"Crack"

It was the unique sound when the wooden door and the stone slab were pulled open. Fu Rujin lowered her head out of courtesy and unexpectedly made eye contact with an orange kitten.
