The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year

Qingying blinked her eyes and returned to her calm and composed demeanor.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have been busy with my uncle's funeral these past few days. It's been very tiring. I feel sorry for you, so I asked for ham and chicken soup. Firstly, I want to show my filial piety to your Majesty, and secondly, I want to take care of your health.

As for what Lady Fu Jin and Sister Huang said, I do not agree."

"Oh!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed. Qingying kept repeating the same few words over and over again, as if she didn't understand what people were saying. Zhen Huan was too lazy to argue with her and directly issued an imperial decree.

"Qingying of the Ulanara clan was disrespectful to the late emperor and harbored evil intentions. She offered me meat during the late emperor's mourning period. I depose her from her position as concubine and confine her to the palace to observe mourning for the late emperor and apologize for her crime!"

This crime is indeed harsh, but in fact, if Qingying's actions are really investigated to the end, she will be skinned alive if not killed. Now the result is that the Empress Dowager has given her a lighter punishment for the sake of the Emperor.

The queen was worried. The empress dowager and the emperor were using Qingying to fight each other, and her life as the queen was in a difficult situation. She was afraid that she would not be able to please both sides.

Jin Yuyan and others gloated over their misfortune. The women in the palace were most afraid of falling out of favor. What's more, Qingying was confined to the palace by the Queen Mother and was not allowed to enter or leave the harem. After a long time, even the deepest friendship could not stand the test. Who would remember her as their childhood sweetheart then?

Su Lujun felt a little reluctant and wanted to plead for Qingying but was afraid of implicating herself and the Third Prince. She was hesitating, but Hailan, who had always been timid, mustered up the courage to stand up and plead for Qingying.

Zhen Huan still had to think twice about Qingying, Hongli's true love, but she didn't have so many concerns about Hailan, an unpopular little person.

"Anyone who dares to plead for mercy will be punished with the same crime."

"The Queen Mother!"

Hai Lan didn't care about herself and asked for mercy again, which made Zhen Huan unhappy.

"Since you care about sisterhood and can't bear to see Ulanara alone, then accompany her to mourn for the late emperor in the palace."

Qingying finally frowned, and Hailan shrank back, unwilling but helpless, feeling very guilty.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's Hailan who is useless."

The farce ended and everyone had different thoughts.

By the time Hongli received the news, Qingying had already been sent back to the palace by the Empress Dowager's men.

Looking at the locked palace gate, Hailan looked worried and asked, "Sister, what should we do in the future?"

Qingying smiled faintly, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. I believe that the emperor will definitely take us out. But I feel bad for getting you into trouble."

Hailan's face was full of disapproval. "Sister, what are you talking about? Hailan can be where she is today, all thanks to your help. If you are being slandered, wouldn't I be a heartless person if I don't speak up to defend you?

Fighting for my sister, I have no regrets even if I die.

However, regarding today's incident, I deeply regret that I am incompetent and cannot help my sister solve her problems."

Qingying pursed her lips and smiled, "The fact that you think so shows that I didn't save the wrong person."

The two of them were talking heart to heart here, but A Ruo was cleaning the yard with a lot of noise, and the resentment in her heart was greater than a ghost.

She had thought that her master would at least become a noble concubine after entering the palace, and she would also be able to become the head aunt, but she didn't expect that they would encounter such unlucky things before the emperor could appoint concubines in the harem.

Yet their master doesn't take it to heart. It's true that the emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuchs are! When will Ah Ruo be able to get out?!

Hongli was indeed somewhat sincere towards Qingying. After hearing about the chicken soup incident, even though he knew that Qingying was at fault first, he still subconsciously wanted to protect her, and even blamed the nosy Huang Qiying and the aggressive empress dowager and queen.

He was raised in the Old Summer Palace since he was a child, and his relationship with the late emperor was a weak one. The little admiration he had for the late emperor in his childhood was completely worn away by the repeated indifference of his childhood, so he did not think there was anything wrong with Qingying offering chicken soup to the empress dowager during the late emperor's mourning period.

So he sent Aunt Yu Hu to plead with Zhen Huan. "The Emperor meant that Concubine Qingying was pure-hearted. Although what she did was inappropriate, she was filial to the Empress Dowager after all. Not only did he remove her from her position as concubine, but he also made her stay alone in the Qiandi Palace to mourn for the late Emperor. Isn't this punishment too severe?"

I also ask the Empress Dowager to show some leniency to Concubine Qingying for her sincerity towards you."

(Hai Lan: So I'm not even a human being in front of you!)

As if this weren't enough, Hongli also issued a verbal decree: The Empress Dowager and the concubines are advanced in age, and abstaining from meat for an extended period would shorten their lifespans. The princes are also young, and the late emperor dotes on his grandchildren and would not want them to compromise their health in mourning. Filial piety is about the heart, not the form. He specifically granted the Empress Dowager, the concubines, the princes and princesses, and the imperial concubine Huang the right to eat meat after the seventh day after the late emperor's death.

The Queen Mother: I think he no longer cares about his reputation. He's a bastard who forgot his parents after getting a wife. It's true that if he's not my biological child, he can't be tamed. He's just ascended the throne and he's already planning to turn against me. He's worthy of being the offspring of the previous emperor, so heartless and ruthless!

Hearing the emperor's oral instructions, Qingying felt sweet in her heart.

"Brother Hongli..." I knew that Brother Hongli would definitely save me.
