"Master, rest assured. The Empress and Jianqiu have already told me that I am alone in this world and that material possessions are useless to me. Moreover, you are the hope of the Ulanara family. No matter what you ask me to do, I will not hesitate for a moment."

Qingying was satisfied with Xiuxia's attitude.

But after all the trouble today, he felt sleepy again. He waved his hand to signal the other person to go down, and went to rest without saying anything else.

...

Perhaps Hongli was very busy today, so Qingying only heard the news of his return home after dinner.

The other party stayed in Qinglan Courtyard yesterday. It is reasonable that he should go to Fu Jin's Qionghua Courtyard today.

But Qingying received such a great gift from the other party. If she didn't react at all, would she still be worthy of being called the queen?

Just start by collecting some interest from this grace.

Let Fucha wait for another day.

Perhaps because the prince stayed in Qinglan Court yesterday, the court doctor came quickly.

But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the prince.

There were hurried steps outside the house. Qingying looked up and saw that the person looked anxious.

Although Qingying was speechless at what the other party said, she found the man's appearance pleasing to the eye.

Although he is not as handsome as Xuan Ling was when he was young, he can still be considered decent.

"Qingying, I just heard that you were not feeling well when I returned home. What happened? Did you suffer any injustice in the palace today?"

Qingying was held down by the other party when she tried to get up.

Then she shook her head and said, "I came to the palace today to see my aunt. How could I feel wronged? My aunt even mentioned the prince several times."

Thinking about what she was going to say today, Qingying had already begun to give indirect reminders in her words.

"Mentioned me?"

Hongli's expression changed slightly. "I wonder what the Empress Dowager said?"

But before Qingying could open her mouth to ask this question, Suo Xinde's voice rang out from outside, "Master, the doctor from the Zhao Mansion is here."

Qingying turned to look at Hongli and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. I will tell you about this later. I am feeling a little unwell at the moment. Could you please ask the court doctor to check my pulse first?"

"Of course, your health is the most important thing. Suo Xin, please let the court doctor come in immediately."

The door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man who looked a little listless walked in.

Qingying frowned slightly, pinching the handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. Before the other party could speak, she said, "Your Majesty, the rules of this palace... why are they so..."

Hongli also reacted and slapped the table with his hand. "How dare you come to check the concubine's pulse after drinking? Who gave you the guts?"

Qingying didn't expect such a surprise today.

From this, we can see how rotten the personnel management of this palace is.

Doctor Zhao's knees gave way and he knelt down. "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me."

But it seemed that he had been drinking, and when he knelt, he fell to the ground.

"How dare you! Wang Qin, get this bastard out of here!"

Doctor Zhao was dragged out before he could even beg for mercy.

There is no need to say more about the outcome.

Qingying looked stunned. "Your Highness, the palace physician is responsible for the health of the masters. How could he act so unbecomingly?"

"Fujin has just arrived at the mansion, and everything is still unorganized. There are so many things to do, I'm sure she can't control everything at once..."

In the end, out of consideration for his wife's reputation, the other party still said a few words to make up for the concubine.

Qingying just looked confused, but she seemed to understand Fu Jin very well.

"Your Highness is right. Consort Fu is always busy with her household duties, so it's not unusual for her to be unable to attend to everything. Doesn't Consort Xi also need some assistance with the affairs of the six palaces?"

Hongli reached out and held Qingying's hand. "Qingying is right. So, if I let you do this, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, are you willing to believe me?"

"Of course. You and I have known each other since childhood, and you have been with the Empress Dowager for a long time. I believe that the little things in the palace will not be difficult for you."

Qingying bowed her head upon hearing this and said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to help the prince and his wife share their worries."

Ok.

Only when you have the right can you do things more conveniently.

"Okay, Wang Qin, is Li Li on duty today? Hurry and ask him to come over and take Concubine Jin's pulse."

Wang Qin had just dealt with the doctor in Zhao's mansion. He hurried in at this moment. Before he could stand still, he heard Hongli's order.

He turned around and left in a hurry without saying anything.

Qingying gave惢心 a look, and in an instant only two masters were left in the room.

But before Qingying could speak, Hongli asked, "Why don't you see Ah Ruo today?"

"Your Highness, my aunt said that Ah Ruo is too lively and unsuitable to serve in the palace. In order to avoid disturbing Your Highness and Consort Fu, she decided to keep her by her side."

"The Empress Dowager is very thorough in her actions. I'm sure she has this idea in mind. She must have seen something. Well, do you have anyone capable around you?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although惢心 has only been with me for a short time, she is very capable. With her around, nothing will go wrong."

"That's good."

Hongli stopped talking. Qingying thought for a moment, then took the initiative to shake his hand and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, my aunt summoned me to the palace today and brought up another matter."

Hongli's eyes were filled with an inexplicable meaning. "Oh? I wonder what the Empress Dowager said?"

Qingying reached out and pulled the other person, looking very cautious, and whispered, "Your Highness, this matter involves state affairs, and it is not my place to speak..."

This kind of playing hard to get was enough to make Hongli have all kinds of speculations in his mind.

I felt a little nervous for no reason.

"Qingying, you and I have been childhood sweethearts. What we are talking about now are just private matters between us as husband and wife. How can it be related to government affairs? Besides, these words came out of your mouth and entered my ears. How could anyone else know them? Just speak frankly."

By the end of the long string of words, there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Qingying found it funny when she heard it.

After a moment of quieting his thoughts, he continued, "Your Highness may not know, but the Emperor has been visiting Jingren Palace more often recently. My aunt told me that the Emperor has mentioned several times that the court officials have begun to frequently bring up the matter of appointing a crown prince."

Hongli's body suddenly stiffened.

His breathing slowed down, and then he said, "The Empress Dowager, please tell me, who are the court officials mentioning?"

"Your Majesty, I also feel a little uneasy when I hear this. It seems that...Sixth Prince..."

"But Sixth Brother is still so young... If he is really as the court officials say, then Concubine Xi..."

The words were evasive but very straightforward.

Why does Qingying dare to speak so bluntly?

In just this short day, he had already understood that the man in front of him and Concubine Xi were far from being as united as they seemed.

They may appear harmonious on the surface, but when it comes to the throne, there is no way Hongli would speak directly with Concubine Xi.

Not to mention that Qingying's words of asking the Sixth Prince to be made the Crown Prince had already hit the other party's soft spot.

"Sixth brother...? But mother..."
