The mind that had just been made up began to waver again.

After so many years, Qingying seems to have forgotten what affection is.

But don’t look at the cruelty he just said in front of the Queen Mother.

At this moment, facing Hailan's sincere smile, Qingying suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.

If the other party really had something in mind, with Qingying's mind and means, there would naturally be no need for hesitation.

But...

The other person is so sincere to himself...

This made Qingying seem unable to completely harden her heart.

Seeing that Qingying didn't speak for a long time, Hailan looked up at her for a moment, and suddenly spoke again.

"Sister, the Queen Mother suddenly promoted me today, but is there anything you want me to do?"

Qingying's lips stiffened slightly after hearing Hailan's question.

"Hai Lan, what have you heard?"

Hailan shook her head.

"Sister, I haven't heard anything, but I know that even if I made a few clothes for Yongqi, I shouldn't be favored by the Empress Dowager."

"Not to mention that thanks to the Queen Mother's grace, I became the first person to be promoted since we entered the palace."

"Sister, I have been cared for by you for many years, and I don't expect to become a concubine or imperial consort one day. But if the Queen Mother and you want me to do anything, I won't frown even if it costs me my life."

Hailan's voice was firm, and it was rare that she kept her eyes fixed on Qingying while speaking.

For a moment, Qingying's eyes couldn't help but be evasive.

But after just a moment, Qingying calmed down.

After all, the issue of adopting a child was too big a matter and she couldn't take the risk.

You can't bet that the person in front of you is really like what he or she describes. That would be useless.

Besides, there is no clue about this matter yet, so why should we rush into it?

Reaching out and holding Hailan's hand, "Perhaps Aunt has other thoughts in her mind, but I can't find out for the time being. But Hailan, if there really comes a day when I ask you to do something against your will, you..."

"Sister, your feelings are mine, and I believe you will never harm me. As long as you think it's appropriate, I will never refuse."

After saying this, Hai Lan seemed to realize that Qing Ying didn't want to say too much about this matter.

Sitting back slightly, he said, "Sister, didn't you say you can have whatever you want? I'm thinking of the honey-glazed jellyfish in your kitchen. I'd like to have that for dinner tonight, okay?"

"Since you've spoken, how can I not respond?"

After dinner, Qingying got up and saw Hailan out.

He turned around and went back to the hall, and thought of someone again.

"惢心, where is the Wei family member we brought back today? Have you found out their background?"

"My Lady, I sent someone to the Sizhiku to inquire carefully. This Miss Wei is indeed a pitiful person."

Qingying raised her eyebrows. "Poor person? What do you mean?"

"Speaking of the origins of the maids in the harem, Miss Wei's isn't too bad. Her father was once the head of the Baoyi Internal Affairs Department, but he died young, leaving only her mother and a younger brother at home."

"It would be fine if the family was considerate, but Miss Wei's mother favors her youngest son, and her younger brother is addicted to gambling, and has almost squandered the family fortune."

"Ms. Wei's monthly salary is almost entirely sent back home to supplement the household expenses."

After hearing what惢心 said, Qingying smiled.

It is people like this who are easy to control.

If it were a harmonious family, how could it be so easy to control?

"In that case, he is really a pitiful man."

"Yes, but Miss Wei has now been blessed by the Majesty and has entered our Jingren Palace. I think her life will be better in the future."

惢心 responded and added, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I have found out that Miss Wei has a childhood sweetheart who is now a guard in the cold palace. His name is Ling Yunche."

"A guard in the cold palace? Even if he has no future."

惢心 could not accept this and kept her head down in silence.

Qingying folded her fingers and continued, "Have you ever explored Wei's own thoughts? Is she really completely devoted to this guard?"
