The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year
Chapter 99 Huang Qiying 37
Perhaps because Jin Yuyan is now under house arrest and Gao Xiyue is busy taking care of her health and raising her children, Hongli finally remembered his childhood sweetheart whom he had forgotten for a long time.
At night, Hongli entered the harem. There were so many concubines, but Hongli felt that none of them could be his confidant. After coming out of Chen Wanyin's palace, he no longer took the sedan chair, but took Jinzhong and strolled to the cold palace.
But the imagined reunion after a long separation, holding hands and looking into each other's tears did not happen.
"Brother Hongli, you came to see me~"
Qingying spoke in a coquettish tone, but her facial expression was a little abnormal. However, she was standing in the shadows and Hongli couldn't see her clearly, so he didn't notice her strangeness at first.
"Qingying, it's me. I'm here to see you." Hongli gazed at her affectionately.
"Hahaha~ Brother Hongli, look!" Qingying skipped over to Hongli and pulled out her treasure from her arms. "It's mushrooms!"
Hongli was a little confused, "Shiitake mushroom?" What's so good about this thing?
Qingying shook her head and sang intoxicatedly, "From the wall and on horseback, we looked at each other from afar. The moment I saw you, I knew my heart was broken~"
"Hey, I thought it was something else," Hongli thought Qingying was joking with him, and reached out to take her precious mushroom with a smile, but Qingying saw him trying to snatch her mushroom, and whoosh took the mushroom back.
"No, no! This is mine. Brother Hongli gave it to me. Don't take it!"
She held the mushroom against her chest and shrank back, as if it was a conditioned reflex formed from being bullied.
Hongli was stunned. He finally realized that something was wrong with Qingying and asked tentatively, "Qingying?"
"Mmm~~ Mine, my mushrooms, I won't give them to you if you don't give them to me!"
"Ulanara clan!"
A strange female voice suddenly interrupted. Hongli was still standing at the door of the cold palace at this moment, so he couldn't see who had just spoken, and the other party couldn't see him.
Qingying turned around happily and said, "Aunt Su! Have you found my armor?"
The other party was like coaxing a child, "I found it, I found it. The armor is broken and it's not decent. Auntie asked someone to repair it. You go back to sleep obediently, and Auntie will give you the repaired armor tomorrow."
Aunt Su's voice stopped abruptly. She was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized that the person opposite was the current emperor. She bowed respectfully.
"I am Su, the noble lady of the Holy Ancestor. I was unaware of the Emperor's arrival. I apologize for my disrespect. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
"You," Hongli's throat was dry. He was certain that Qingying was no longer normal. He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he couldn't open his mouth. In the end, he could only say, "Ignorance is not a crime. Your Majesty, please step aside."
This Aunt Su was none other than Su Ning, the noble lady who had taken care of A Ruo before and had done things for Huang Qiying many times.
Behind Su Ning and Xie Enping, he first coaxed Qingying to go back to sleep, and then came back to tell her about Qingying's current situation.
"Qingying has been acting a little out of sorts since last month. She's constantly muttering about the emperor being on the other side of the wall, and she's giggling all day long. Sometimes she'll sit there talking to herself for half a day.
Initially, I took care of Concubine Shen Guiren because I accepted money from her, but later, when I saw her in trouble, I couldn't bear it,..."
Su Ning said a lot and successfully portrayed herself as a good aunt who cared deeply for Qingying. Even A Ruo was perfect in her words.
As for whether A Ruo knew about Qingying's mental disorder, Su Ning said that Concubine Shen didn't know yet. Because Qingying didn't like Concubine Shen, Concubine Shen only asked the eunuch who delivered food to her to give her money on the third day of every month.
A small portion of the silver sent by Concubine Shen was her reward for taking care of Qingying, and the rest was reserved for Qingying. When Concubine Shen sent the silver last time, she was not sure whether Qingying was in a bad mood or had a problem.
Seeing that she was sincere and Qingying really trusted her, Hongli believed it 80% at that time. After asking Jinzhong to inquire in the cold palace, he was even more convinced of it.
But if he really wanted to go to Qingying's residence and take a look, he would know how much water there was in Su Ning's words.
The next day, when Huang Qiying woke up, she heard that the emperor had shown his power in the cold palace last night and many deposed concubines were sent to Ganlu Temple for hard training.
There were also several slaves who had committed crimes and were thrown into the Ministry of Punishment, where their lives and deaths were unknown. This morning, the eunuch Wang Qin, the chief eunuch in the imperial court, went to the cold palace in person to take Qingying out, restored her title and status, and she continued to live in Jingren Palace.
Huanxin also found out that there was also an Aunt Su who came out with Qingying, that is, the noble lady Su Ning.
It was naturally against the rules for Emperor Kangxi's concubines to live in his grandson's harem and serve his grandson's concubines.
But who made Hongli the owner of the dragon throne now?
In order to allow Su Ning to live in Jingren Palace and take care of Qingying with a legitimate reason, Hongli lied and changed her identity, making Su Ning the head aunt of Jingren Palace.
Su Ning wept with joy. Although she had gone from master to servant, she had finally shed her status as a concubine and might be able to leave the Forbidden City for the rest of her life. Perhaps she would even have the chance to kowtow at the graves of her late father and mother, and see her closest relatives whom she hadn't seen in twenty years...
The news of Qingying's madness was concealed by Hongli. Of course, it was suppressed on the surface, but no matter whether it was the Queen and A Ruo who took action, or Huang Qiying who was unaware of the situation, or the Empress Dowager and Gao Xiyue, everyone who should know knew it, and the Emperor kept it a secret in vain.
However, those who can survive in the harem are not fools. Except for the empress dowager who complained to the emperor in private, everyone else kept quiet and kept silent.
But after Qingying returned to Jingren Palace, she was troubled every night and could not sleep properly. She lost a lot of weight in just half a month.
Su Ning said that Concubine Xian always heard a baby crying at night, and she suspected that it was because the late emperor's Ulanara committed too many sins in her life that she attracted the ghost baby?
Hongli didn't believe it at first, but he had seen Qingying's appearance when she was ill—begging for mercy, crying and shouting, "It's not me, it's my aunt! It's my aunt!"
This made him suspect that Qingying had something to hide even though he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
Ulanara Yixiu treated Qingying like her own daughter during her lifetime. She had so many abortions, it was impossible for Qingying to be completely unaware of it.
Maybe it's because of guilt that I feel scared.
Suning also suggested taking Qingying to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate, as it was quiet there, away from the turmoil in the harem. Furthermore, it would be convenient for the emperor to see her in the summer when he went to the garden to escape the heat.
With a little pitiful sincerity and guilt, Hongli agreed to Suning's request.
On the day Qingying left the palace, no one went to see her off except A Ruo.
Even Huang Qiying only asked A Ruo's maid to send a letter to Suning with a word of care.
On the surface, An Xin was the maid given to A Ruo by the Empress Dowager, but in fact, she was a talent specially prepared by Huang Qiying for A Ruo.
The letter contained the address of Su Ning's eldest brother's home. The Su family had chosen the wrong side. After the late emperor ascended the throne, Su Ning was sent to the cold palace by the concubine who disliked her, and her brother resigned from his official position and left Beijing shortly afterwards.
If Hongli had made her Aunt Su, he would not have helped her contact the relatives of Lady Su. Therefore, this letter from Huang Qiying was worth a thousand gold to Su Ning.
"Aunt Su, take care." Even though Qingying was crazy, she still remembered the traitor A Ruo, so she ignored her.
It just so happened that A Ruo was too lazy to talk to her, so when she left, she only said goodbye to Su Ning.
"Thank you very much. It's not easy in the deep palace, please take care of yourself, my dear."
When the time came, Suning took one last look at the Forbidden City, then got on the carriage and left without looking back.
On the distant city wall, Hongli stood with his hands behind his back, watching Qingying's carriage gradually disappear from his sight with a sense of loss.
Without Qingying and Jin Yuyan, the harem was much quieter. Huang Qiying, who had nothing to do, became fascinated by Kunqu Opera.
In order to help the eldest prince gain a foothold in Xianfu Palace, Wei Yanwan secretly learned Kunqu Opera to please her.
I have to say that Miracle Wanwan is really a treasure girl who has talent in learning everything.
Her figure was like water and her voice was nice. Huang Qiying was so attracted by her after she appeared on the stage.
If Huang Qiying wasn't afraid that Hongli, the playboy, would have taken a fancy to her, she would have wanted to take her with her wherever she went, which made Yonghuang a little jealous.
"Yonghuang, my dear child, Mother wants to discuss something with you."
When Yonghuang came home from school that day, Huang Qiying greeted him with a smile like a wolf grandmother.
Yonghuang felt uncomfortable because of her smile, and a little bit of defensiveness rose in his heart.
"Mother, please tell me, as long as it doesn't embarrass me, I will definitely agree to it!"
Huang Qiying's smile paused. This kid is not so easy to fool!
Thinking this in her heart, Huang Qiying's smile became even brighter. "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Mother just feels that you are working hard in school every day, so I want to add a few more people to you. Besides, mother really likes Yanwan."
Yonghuang thought to himself: As expected! I knew that Concubine Yi had set her sights on Sister Yanwan.
Huang Qiying continued to persuade her, "You usually stay in the Shangshu room, and it's pitiful for Yanwan to stay in your room alone. Why not let her come to mother's house and talk to her? It will be considered as helping you to show your filial piety. What do you think?"
