"What grace is it?" The emperor asked with a smile seeing Wei Ning'er being so cautious and serious. 【 】

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor to give Sister Lu a promotion!" Wei Ning'er said softly.

"I thought it was a big deal, don't worry, I'm sure, I'll make an order tomorrow!" The emperor laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er couldn't help but be overjoyed, as if it was a trivial matter for her to be enshrined, but Lu Yunxi's being enshrined was a major event.

On November 21st, the emperor issued a decree that the concubine Ling of Jin was named Concubine Ling; concubine Qing was concubine Qing; concubine Ying was concubine Ying;

"According to your seniority, the one who should be promoted to the imperial concubine is Concubine Yu, and you are the one who should be promoted. You, the humble concubine who was born as a court lady, will never be able to sit in the position of imperial concubine!" Surrounding Wei Ning'er who was congratulating, the queen smiled at Concubine Yu who was standing beside her.

"Empress Lao, don't worry. The concubine thinks that concubine Ling, no... Concubine Ling is very good. In fact, she should have been promoted a long time ago. I think it's too late!" Concubine Yu smiled, and immediately He also arrived at the side of Wei Ning'er, Concubine Chun and others.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu came over and smiled when she saw that there was no one around the Queen.

"Well, since the emperor has promoted you, I think he is quite satisfied with you. However, I did not expect that Concubine Ying would be concubine!" Concubine, I feel quite unhappy.

Ever since she was "rested" by the emperor last time, Concubine Ying and others have stayed away from her. When she returns to the harem, everything has changed. There is a momentum dominated by Concubine Ying, which she does not want to see.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Ying is not afraid, sooner or later she will regret betraying you, Madam!" Concubine Yu sneered.

When the queen heard this, a smile gradually appeared on her face. She had never taken a liking to those idiots, and now it's good that they don't get in the way.

On November 25th, the birthday of the Empress Dowager, the emperor was overjoyed because of his return to the Ministry of Peace, and led all his ministers to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace to celebrate.

Afterwards, Turdu and other five households of Hezhuo who contributed to the war, and Hojis and other three households of southern Xinjiang Uyghur upper class who contributed to the suppression of the chaos were summoned to Beijing one after another to meet the emperor.

The emperor decreed that Turdu and others were first-class auspicious people, ordered them to live in Beijing, and sent envoys to Huibu to pick up their families to Beijing.

In the first month of the 25th year of Qianlong, a group of horse-drawn carriages drove into the ancient and majestic Beijing city amidst heavy snowflakes flying all over the sky.

For these Uyghur nobles who were born at the foot of the sky, the weather in Beijing is not too cold. They lifted the curtains of the carriages one after another, looked around, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This is completely different from the small-scale cities they returned to difference.

"Auntie, look, the city of Beijing is so big, there are so many people, and there are people selling fun things when it's snowing heavily, I want to go down and have a look!" On the carriage, a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old shouted excitedly.

"Na Yunqi, don't mess around!" A slightly cold voice came.

"Auntie, I heard from the clansmen that we don't have to go back to Tianshan in the future. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty will choose one of the noble women who came to Beijing this time to be his concubine. Does this count as a marriage?" The girl said at this point His expression was a little gloomy: "I promised Samu to marry him. What should I do if the Qing emperor chooses me? I heard that he is older than my father!"

"Na Yunqi, this is not Tianshan, this is Beijing City, if you don't want to cause trouble for your father, please don't say a few words!" There was a hint of coldness and warning in the woman's voice. But his eyes are like Wang Qiushui, fascinating.

"I'm just telling the truth. Huo Jizhan and Zhuo once said that even if there is only one man left when I return to the Ministry, I will never allow a woman to be sent to the Qing Dynasty to seek peace. Daddy and the others joined the Qing Dynasty earlier and let us be in front of the tribe. Being cast aside, even though I have inexhaustible glory and wealth, I don't care for it!" Na Yunqi's words were full of disdain.

"Shut up, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the trend of returning to the Ministry is over. The two of you and Zhuo Xingbing made trouble for the returnees. Your father and uncle also joined the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the tribe. Now my return to the Ministry is completely under the control of the Qing Dynasty. Now, if you want the clansmen to live and work in peace and contentment, you must please the Qing emperor, and you will not be allowed to say such things in the future!" The woman said in a deep voice.

"Auntie, Huo Jizhan and Zhuo were oppressed by the Qing army and lost their lives. Why did you..." When Na Yunqi said this, seeing the coldness in the woman's eyes, she couldn't help but shut her mouth for a while. She laughed and said: "Auntie, we will live here in Beijing from now on. I don't know how to speak the language of the Han people, nor can I speak the language of the Manchurians. Auntie, you are the number one talented woman in our department. You know how to teach me, okay?" Alright, otherwise I will definitely be bullied in the future!"

"As long as you are obedient in the future, I will definitely teach you!" The woman nodded slightly, as if unwilling to say more, she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes.

Na Yunqi didn't dare to disturb her any more, and looked at everything outside the carriage by herself, feeling extremely novel, she didn't see that her aunt had opened her eyes at this time, but her eyes were full of boundless hatred.

At the beginning of February in the 25th year of Qianlong, the emperor ordered a banquet in the palace for the meritorious ministers who had returned to the Ministry, and their families were naturally given a banquet by the queen with all the concubines in the apse.

The Empress Dowager has secretly issued a decree to the Queen. In order to win over the Hui Ministry, one of the unmarried noble girls of the Hui Ministry must be selected to be included in the harem.

Turdu's wife led her daughter Na Yunqi and Turdu's unmarried younger sister Ipalhan sat in front, facing the Qing empress and all the concubines, she was full of uneasiness, coupled with the language barrier, often made trouble His face was flushed, and he couldn't help but cast a look of help to Ipal Khan beside him.

The queen and everyone saw that Mrs. Turdu had been expecting Ai Ai and hesitating, and felt strange. They were about to ask, but the masked woman who had been sitting beside her stood up and said respectfully: "Qi To the empress, the sister-in-law of the minnv does not understand Chinese and Manchu, so she understands what the empress means, and the minnv will convey it for the empress!"

The queen heard the words and understood. If there is no accident, these returnees will stay at the foot of Tianshan Mountain for the rest of their lives. How could they come to the capital?What's more, Rugong had an audience, so the language barrier was reasonable.

However, when she recalled what the Empress Dowager had explained, the Empress felt a little uneasy. It would not be difficult to choose one of these noble ladies to enter the palace. Does the emperor still talk to people in this palace?This is what makes the queen quite a headache.

"What's your name?" The queen looked at the woman with a light veil on her face and asked.

"Report to the empress, the name of the civilian girl is Ipal Khan!"

"Among the noble ladies in Huibu can speak Manchu or Chinese?" the queen asked with a slight frown.

"Never!" Ipal Khan looked at Na Yunqi and the others, then shook his head.

"Is this a bit difficult?" The queen frowned.

"Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this, isn't there someone who can do it right in front of you? Are you Turdu's younger sister?" Concubine Chun coughed lightly, looking at Ipalhan and said.

"Yes!" Ipal Khan nodded slightly.

"Since this is the case, she is also the daughter of a nobleman in Huibu!" Concubine Chun said with a smile.

"Why are you veiled?" the Queen stared at Ipal Khan.

"My lady, the famous girl believes in Allah, and she once swore not to marry in her life, but to follow Allah forever!" Ipal Khan said respectfully.

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her in surprise.

"Sit down!" the queen laughed.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Ipal Khan nodded slightly and sat down on the chair.

Concubine Chun coughed lightly again, and said with a smile: "Empress Empress, this matter has to be reported to Empress Dowager before a conclusion is made!"

"Hmm!" The queen did not refute Concubine Chun, but because of this, the matter was indeed a bit tricky.

After the dinner, Lu Yunxi left the main hall and went to Wei Ninger's Palace of Yanxi Palace.

"Sister, is the child better?" Lu Yunxi handed the cloak in her hand to the maid at the side after entering the bedroom, and walked to the bed and asked.

In the past few days, the fourteenth elder brother Yong Lu has been seriously ill, and Wei Ning'er has never gone anywhere, including tonight's dinner party. She is devoted to taking care of the child, and only hopes that the child will recover soon.

"This child is inherently weak, and he can't compare to his brother Yongxuan. Although Yongxuan was sick when he was young, he didn't heal for as long as Yonglu!" With a pale face, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Ning'er, you have to hold on, the child will inevitably get sick, and he will survive it, but you, who haven't closed your eyes and rested for several nights, go to sleep, I will guard the child for you tonight, you can't take care of yourself This body has been dragged down, so who else can Yongxuan and Ruoshui rely on?" Lu Yunxi gently persuaded, holding Wei Ning'er's hand.

Wei Ning'er gently touched the child's small face, and nodded after a while. She hadn't closed her eyes for three days, and she was already dizzy from exhaustion, and she was overwhelmed with worrying about the child.

"Where's the emperor?" Wei Ning'er turned around and asked after walking to the door of the sleeping hall.

"The emperor is hosting a banquet for the leaders of the Ministry and their families tonight, and they are still in the hall, so I think they won't be here tonight!" Lu Yunxi said softly.

"En!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, and walked out.

The child has been ill for several days, and she is very worried, but the emperor is very busy these days, and every time he comes to Yanxi Palace, he comes and goes in a hurry. She is also very tired when she sees the emperor, so it is difficult to tell her when Yong Lu was ill. He was so powerful, so that he would not worry too, so he had to bear all the pain by himself.

But at this time, Wei Ning'er was more afraid than ever. She was afraid that her Yong Lu would not be able to survive, and that he would have the same fate as those princes and princesses who died in the palace.

"Yong Lu, Er Niang, I beg you, you must hold on!" Wei Ning'er closed her eyes tightly and shouted in her heart.

"Your Majesty, you should rest!" Bing Ruo supported Wei Ning'er, who was sloppy, her eyes were full of pity.

"Well, I'm going to rest, tomorrow I have to get up early to take care of Yong Lu, I will never let him have the slightest mistake!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, and left with Bing Ruo.
