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

But now she is trapped in Chonghua Palace with no one to use, so she has to compromise herself and be soft-hearted with Wei Yanwan.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not telling you this to make you go against Concubine Yi. I just can't bear to see my sister and Ling Yunche being framed like this, so I want to help them get justice.

Just tell this to Concubine Chun, and ask her if she still remembers the friendship she had with her sister when they were in the Qiandi Palace. If she still recognizes her sister, please ask her to mention me to the Emperor."

"Okay, I'll pass on your message. Haigege, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Hailan shook her head, "That's all."

"Princess, take care. I will return to the palace first."

"Um"

Hai Lan peeked through the crack in the door, watching Wei Yanwan running away in the night, her eyes determined.

"Sister, please wait a little longer. Hailan will definitely rescue you."

After Yanwan returned home, she tossed and turned all night. When she got up the next day to go to work, she was always a little absent-minded, which made Yonghuang frequently ask, "Sister Yanwan, what's wrong with you today? You look absent-minded. Is there something on your mind?"

"Ah, big brother, please don't blame me. My fellow villager is gone. She helped me a lot. I haven't even paid back the money I owed him, and now he's gone."

Wei Yanwan was in a low mood. She originally just wanted to find an excuse to prevent the eldest prince from delving into why she was distracted while on duty, but when she mentioned Ling Yunche, it was hard for her not to be sad.

After all, he was her young lover, and he died when she was at the most innocent age. How could she let it go so easily?

"Ah, Sister Yanwan, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"I'm fine," Wei Yanwan said, forcing herself to cheer up. "Don't blame yourself, brother. I'll be fine if I take it easy."

"No, Yanwan, you feel uncomfortable, so don't serve me today. I will give you half a day off, so you can go back and have a good rest!" Yonghuang said considerately.

"No need for this slave."

"Be obedient! This is my order." He deliberately put on a stern face and acted like a little adult.

Wei Yanwan smiled, "Yes, I obey your command. Big brother, thank you."

Under Yonghuang's gaze, Wei Yanwan went back to her bedroom to rest.

She hesitated in the room for a long time, but finally she gritted her teeth and went to find Su Lujun, telling her how Hailan contacted her and what they said when they met.

"This..." Concubine Chun was terrified. "I am just a lowly concubine, and the Emperor doesn't like me. It's hard for me to even see him on a normal day. Even if I wanted to, I'm powerless~"

Wei Yanwan knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at her, for fear that Concubine Chun would blame her for running around last night and having secret contact with Hai Lan, which brought her such a difficult problem.

Although Su Lujun was timid and not a kind person, she would at least not vent her anger on her subordinates or criticize them harshly. So after sighing about her own difficulties, she told Wei Yanwan to forget everything, never mention it again, and not to contact Hai Lan again.

As for what Hai Lan wants, if there is a chance, she will try her best. As for whether it will succeed or not, that depends on Hai Lan's luck.

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and doesn't blame me for meddling in other people's affairs. I thank you so much!"

Wei Yanwan bowed deeply and expressed her gratitude to Concubine Chun.

"Okay, go down quickly. The eldest prince is waiting for you to serve him."

……

Before Su Lujun found the opportunity to help Hailan to fulfill her filial duty, Qingying had another accident in the cold palace.

On the seventh day after Ling Yunche's death, Qingying was burning paper in the cold palace to commemorate him, but was caught red-handed by the Empress Dowager and Hongli!

Hongli was puzzled. "Qingying, you're breaking palace rules just for a guard you've only known for a short time?" Are you crazy?!

"Your Majesty, he's no ordinary guard!" Qingying asked with a sad face, "As the saying goes, even though old friends are still as close as ever, even though we've only known each other for a short time, Ling Yunche has done me a favor and died for me. He has no family, so as a friend, can't I secretly give him a ride?"

"Friend?" The Queen Mother sneered, "You are the Emperor's woman, yet you disregard your status and become friends with a guard. If this gets out, how will the world view you? And how will they view the Emperor?"

"Ling Yunche and I are close friends, so why should we be afraid of worldly rumors?"

"You're not afraid, but what about me? Don't you care about my reputation?"

"Your Majesty, you don't believe me?"

"..." Zhalong said his mother tongue was speechless! Was this something he believed or didn't believe? The key to this matter was the potential negative impact it would have if it got out. Would others believe her? Even if they did, would it delay others from spreading rumors and echoing them?

"Alright, I'm too lazy to listen to your quibbling. Your Majesty, since Nara has violated the palace rules, then you should punish her according to them."

It was quite cold that night, and Zhen Huan didn't want to stay in the cold palace any longer. She wanted to take care of Qingying as soon as possible so that she could go back to sleep.

Secretly burning paper for the dead in the palace is a serious crime, not to mention that Qingying is now a commoner, so there is no need to worry about punishing her.

Hongli still had some sincerity towards her, and could not help but say, "Empress Dowager, Qingying has served me for so many years, and this is her first offense. Why not give her a lighter punishment?"

"Palace rules are palace rules. If they are violated, they must be severely punished. If the emperor shows mercy and forgives Qingying today, tomorrow others will cry and beg for mercy. Most of the concubines in the harem have been with the emperor for many years. If they all make mistakes, does that mean the emperor will forgive them all? Then the harem will be in chaos!"

"Empress Dowager, it's not as serious as you say. I..."

"Alright, the Empress Dowager knows you like Qingying, but she's already under arrest, and now she's breaking palace rules. If she's not punished, I'm afraid the court officials will get wind of it."

Zhen Huan was well aware of her adopted son's nature as a son-in-law, and seeing that he still wanted to force her, she directly brought out the court officials to pressure him.

Hongli showed hesitation, and Zhen Huan said sympathetically, "Of course, Qingying is your beloved after all. As the saying goes, a son's failure to teach is the fault of his father. The Emperor cannot bear to see her punished, so let Narbu atone for her sin."

"What does the Empress mean?"

"Qingying has made repeated mistakes since entering the palace. It's obvious that Narbu and his wife haven't taught her well. As the saying goes, if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? If Narbu can't even teach his own daughter well, how can he share the emperor's worries?

It would be better for him to leave the court and stay home to teach his children well."

"No! Empress Dowager, if you really want to punish me, just punish me alone. Why involve my father?"

"Qingying, don't talk!"

If the Queen Mother really punishes you, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die! How can I bear this?

Qingying pouted. Hongli was exhausted, but he still tried his best to take care of her. "The Empress Dowager has a point. If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault. Let Narbu take the blame for his daughter's mistakes. But asking him to return home is too much. How about demoting him to a lower rank and deducting his salary for a year as a punishment?"

"Is the Emperor joking? This punishment is so light, how can Narbu and Qingying remember the lesson? I'm afraid that after this incident, they will do it again! We must punish them severely to prevent them from doing it again!"

The Empress Dowager refused to give in, and Hongli was defeated step by step. Finally, the mother and son reached an agreement: Nara Qingying was punished to copy the palace rules a hundred times, and Narbu was stripped of his position as a captain and fined three years' salary.

Narbu's official position was not high to begin with, he only inherited the position of a fourth-rank lieutenant colonel. Now he was demoted to a sixth-rank cavalry captain, which was a heavy loss.

In addition,惢心, who helped Qingying deliver paper money, was also expelled from the palace. Qingying's connections outside the cold palace were temporarily cut off.

Zhen Huan was reluctantly satisfied. When she returned, she glanced calmly at a house not far away and left.

After the Empress Dowager disappeared, Hongli looked at Qingying's indifferent expression and sighed, "Alas! Qingying, could you please not be so willful? I am already very tired of handling state affairs every day."

"Willful?" Qingying sneered, her eyes slashing across Hongli's face like a knife. "Since I married the Emperor, have I ever been truly happy? I can't even decide my own joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

Hongli was unhappy, "Are you blaming me for the injustice I've done to you?"

"I dare not," Qingying retracted her gaze from him, staring straight ahead, and said to him in a stern tone, "The cold palace is cold and gloomy, it is not a place for Your Majesty to stay. Your Majesty should go back early. I will not see you off."

After saying that, Qingying turned and left, leaving Hongli standing there, looking at her back, furious.

"Okay, okay, Qingying, you have backbone! I hope you can always be so proud, and never come to beg me in the future!"

After making these harsh remarks, Hongli left.

When the yard quieted down, A Ruo quietly opened the door, limped out of the house, walked to a weed-covered corner in the dark, parted the grass, and took out a purse that the empress dowager had left there from the dog hole.

This purse is ordinary, but when it is opened, there are five hundred taels of silver notes inside!

This was the reward for informing the Empress Dowager after she was sent to the cold palace. A Ruo clenched the banknotes, hid the dog hole, and limped back to sleep.

She had been beaten with twenty boards before. Even though the empress dowager had arranged in advance that she was not hit too hard, she was still seriously injured. She had to be well taken care of to avoid any sequelae. She also wanted to leave this damn place in glory and become an empress!

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Jia each painted a rosy picture for her, and A Ruo believed it without a doubt. A life of wealth and glory was beckoning her. Even though her butt still hurt, A Ruo was in a good mood.

Ah Ruo, in a good mood, didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes silently watching her in the dark night...
