Chapter 68
Su Xiaomei sighed after hearing what Li Qingge said. Her eyes showed a bit of helplessness and sympathy, as if she could see through the unknown suffering deep in Li Qingge's heart. "Yes, those people always use the worst thoughts to speculate Your Majesty, thinking that you can do anything to achieve your goals, even disregarding your relatives, so naturally they dare not threaten you with the Queen and the Twelfth Prince." Her voice was low and soft, as if she was telling an unknown secret.
Li Qingge was silent for a moment after hearing this. Her eyes became deep, as if at this moment, she had traveled through time and space and returned to those days full of blood and conspiracy. She said slowly: "Kindness and cruelty are like the two sides of yin and yang, interdependent and mutually restraining. Sometimes, when you act the most cruelly, you can actually show the kindness in your heart." Her voice was calm and firm, revealing an unquestionable power.
She went on, "There's an old saying that goes, 'A person of noble virtue is naturally not afraid of being kidnapped.' That's the truth. If I act ruthlessly enough, even to the point of being bloodthirsty and cruel and disregarding family affection, then the plan of using my relatives to coerce me will naturally fail." As she said this, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but was immediately replaced by tenderness, as if she was telling herself that all this was for a greater goal.
Su Xiaomei was still a little worried, her brows furrowed, as if she could foresee the possible twists and turns and storms in the future. "Your Majesty, this move is brilliant, but your reputation..." There was some hesitation in her words.
Li Qingge waved her hand and interrupted her with a smile: "What's reputation? I do things only to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, worthy of the people, and worthy of my own heart. I never take other people's evaluation to heart. Besides, since ancient times, how many women who have been involved in politics have a good reputation? No matter how well I do, there will be people who will regard me as a witch who disrupts politics and say that I violate the moral principles. Since reputation is so difficult to maintain, I might as well take revenge and do what I want." When she said this, her eyes were full of firmness and determination, as if she was ready to face everything.
Suddenly, Li Qingge remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Has there been any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if that matter was an eternal pain in her heart.
Su Xiaomei replied, "We are doing our best to investigate. But the capital is the power center of the Qing court. There are countless princes and ministers, and those playboys are even more domineering and evil. It is really not an easy task to find the real culprit who harmed your majesty's adoptive parents." As she said this, her eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and indignation, as if she also felt unfair for Li Qingge's experience.
It turned out that Li Qingge came to the capital to recognize her relatives and planned to annex the Qing Dynasty, but she never forgot the hatred of her adoptive parents. Her adoptive parents went to the city to sell fruits and vegetables, but unfortunately met a playboy and died in the hands of a vicious slave. That memory was engraved in her heart like a brand, and she couldn't let it go. So, as soon as she arrived in the capital, she ordered Su Xiaomei to investigate the matter and vowed to avenge this.
Li Qingge's eyes turned cold when she heard this, as if they could freeze everything. "Go check it out as soon as possible. I must get rid of this bully before I leave the capital." Her voice was filled with unquestionable determination, as if she had already seen the end of the bully.
"Yes, sir!" Su Xiaomei replied, her eyes full of firmness and determination, as if she was also excited about Li Qingge's road to revenge.
……
The autumn rain continued, and the chill in the capital was getting stronger. The drizzle was like silk, gently brushing the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, making a rustling sound. But Li Qingge had magical powers to protect her body, and was not afraid of the cold or heat. The cold wind in the Forbidden City seemed to be non-existent to her. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and she walked lightly between the palaces, as if she was a fairy from heaven.
After handling government affairs, she often went to Kunning Palace to chat with the queen. Kunning Palace was the queen's bedroom, decorated magnificently and splendidly. But Li Qingge preferred the tranquility and warmth there, as if it could make her temporarily forget the intrigues in the palace.
The entrance to the harem is very strict, and men are not allowed to enter without permission. Although there are many guards, they can only patrol the periphery and cannot enter the inner courtyard. Therefore, the affairs of concubines and outsiders in TV dramas are difficult to happen in reality. But this is not a problem for Li Qingge. She has extraordinary wisdom and courage, and can always find a way to break the rules.
She asked the queen to tell Qianlong that the two had a great time after the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting and wanted to get together often to relieve boredom. Qianlong not only did not object, but was very happy. He hoped that the relationship between Dayan and the Qing court would be more harmonious because of the closeness of the two queens. He did not know Li Qingge's true identity and purpose, and only thought that she was a friendly envoy from a foreign country.
The Great Yan was as powerful as the Jin Dynasty in the past, with strong soldiers and horses, and was feared by all. The Qing Dynasty was like the Northern Song Dynasty, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Although it had the false reputation of the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity, it was actually unable to resist the fierce army of the Great Yan. The shame and pain of the Jin people who went south and abducted the two emperors Hui and Qin, which led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, are still vivid in people's minds! Although Qianlong had great talents and strategies, he felt powerless in the face of the threat of the Great Yan.
But Li Qingge saw an opportunity at this moment. She knew the weaknesses and soft spots of the Qing court, and also understood Qianlong's helplessness and struggle. She decided to take advantage of this opportunity to devour the Qing court step by step and realize her own revenge and unification.
In Kunning Palace, she and the Queen drank tea and chatted, as if they were a pair of close sisters. But they both had their own secrets and calculations in their hearts. Li Qingge's eyes flashed with wisdom and cunning, while the Queen's eyes revealed a bit of vigilance and suspicion. They both knew that this seemingly friendly gathering was actually a contest with undercurrents.
But Li Qingge doesn't care about these. She has her own plans and goals, and she has enough wisdom and courage to face all challenges. She believes that as long as she has firm beliefs and moves forward courageously, she will be able to realize her dreams and ambitions.
Feng Lin Jiu Tian: Empress of Two Dynasties
If the Great Yan army marched north, the Qing court would have to repeat the mistakes of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and its fate would have been much more miserable. The Great Yan cavalry was like a violent storm, unstoppable, while the Qing court was like a broken ship swaying in the wind and rain, in danger of capsizing at any time.
Emperor Qianlong sat on the magnificent dragon throne, frowning, with a trace of helplessness and anxiety in his eyes. He knew very well that the Qing court was no longer able to compete with the Great Yan at this moment, and could only endure for the time being and look for a turnaround. He thought to himself: "There is no good trick at the moment, just one word - 'delay'. Delay first, waste time, secretly strengthen the military force, and make the Eight Banners soldiers more brave. When the Great Qing recovers, we will have a final showdown with the Great Yan."
Qianlong's eyes wandered in the empty hall, and finally fell on the queen beside him. The queen was dignified and virtuous, with a gentle air between her eyebrows, which comforted him a little. He thought that the queen's friendship with Li Qingge of Da Yan might bring a glimmer of hope to Da Qing.
Li Qingge, this name is like a sharp sword in Qianlong's heart, which makes him both awed and fearful. He knows that this queen of Dayan is not only a martial arts master, but also a wise and resourceful person, and is definitely not an ordinary person. However, with her martial arts skills, who can really restrain her? Qianlong muttered to himself, but he had to admit that Li Qingge was indeed an elusive opponent.
Qianlong was quite happy to see the Queen and Li Qingge on good terms. In this way, Li Qingge could enter and leave the harem as freely as if it were her own backyard. He thought that perhaps through the Queen, he could get to know Li Qingge more deeply and find a good strategy to deal with Dayan.
On this day, the mother and daughter met in the harem, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. The queen wore a gorgeous phoenix robe and pearls on her head, looking noble and elegant. Li Qingge wore a plain dress, and although she did not wear any makeup, it was hard to hide her pure and elegant temperament.
As soon as the two met, they started chatting about family matters. The Queen asked Li Qingge about his life in Dayan with concern, and Li Qingge responded with a smile, revealing a calm and confident manner. As they chatted, the two of them started to tease Qianlong at the same time.
The queen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, he is a passionate man. He falls in love with everyone he meets. During his last tour, he even had an illegitimate daughter like Princess Huanzhu. It's really laughable." There was a sense of helplessness and doting in her words. It was obvious that she found Qianlong's behavior both funny and a little dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingge raised a sly smile and said, "Sister Queen, you are really wronging the emperor. He is not sentimental at all, it's just that his taste is too rustic. Look at his treasures, the porcelains are painted with all kinds of colors, like farmhouses, it's so eye-catching." There was a hint of ridicule and mockery in her words, which made the queen couldn't help laughing out loud.
The two of them became happier and happier as they talked, and finally laughed until their stomachs hurt. The Queen took Li Qingge's hand and said affectionately, "Sister, you are really my happy pill. Every time I see you, I feel happy."
Then, Li Qingge talked to the queen about the title. She straightened her face and said, "Sister Queen, I came here today to discuss something with you. It's about the title of the fifth princess."
When the queen heard this, her face turned serious. She knew the importance of the title, which was not only related to personal honor and disgrace, but also to the overall situation of the country. She hurriedly asked, "What do you think, sister?"
Li Qingge pondered for a moment and said, "In the palace, a mother is honored by her son, and a son is honored by his mother. Although the Fifth Princess is a girl, she is the future emperor. I think that after she ascends the throne, she should give you a title and make you the Holy Mother Empress Dowager."
The Queen was moved when she heard this. She knew that what Li Qingge said was true, and the Fifth Princess was indeed expected to become the Emperor of Da Yan. And as the Fifth Princess's biological mother and the Queen appointed by the Emperor, it was only natural for her to be given the title. But she also understood that this was not an easy task.
Rong Mama stood aside, listening carefully with eyes wide open. She thought to herself: "My queen is not only the birth mother of the fifth princess, but also the queen appointed by the emperor. If she is given a title, she must be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Mother Empress Dowager, which is extremely honorable. But this matter is complicated. Daqing and Dayan are two countries. The fifth princess also has the great kindness of her adoptive parents. Although they have passed away, the kindness of raising her is greater than the kindness of giving birth to her. It is hard to say whether the queen can really become the empress dowager."
The Queen glanced at Rong Mama and understood her worries. She sighed and said, "Sister, I appreciate your kindness. But the title of the princess still needs to be considered. After all, the Fifth Princess has not yet ascended the throne, and the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty is still unclear. Let's take it one step at a time."
Li Qingge heard this and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Sister Queen, don't worry. Although I have established a country and become the king, I have not yet become the emperor. This is because the north has not been settled and the territory of Da Yan has not been completed. However, when the north and the south are unified, I will definitely become the emperor. At that time, I will follow the ancient rituals to determine the title. Above the emperor, there are the retired emperor, the empress dowager, the grand empress dowager, etc. I am planning ahead now so that I can issue an imperial decree to confer the title in the future."
There was a firmness and confidence in her words, which shocked the Queen and Rong Mama. They knew that what Li Qingge said was true, and she did have the ability and determination to realize her ambitions.
The queen looked at Li Qingge, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She admired Li Qingge's courage and wisdom, but was also worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty. She knew very well that in this game of power, they were just pawns. But she also understood that no matter what the result was, she had to try her best to get the best result.
So, she held Li Qingge's hand tightly and said, "Sister, no matter how the future changes, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. I believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
Li Qingge felt warm at heart when she heard this. She looked at the queen with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that in this game of power, although they were in different camps, they all had the same goal and belief. That was to fight for the best future for their respective countries and people.
So, the two smiled at each other and walked out of the harem hand in hand. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they would walk together until they saw that beautiful tomorrow.
As for Emperor Qianlong, he stood in front of the dragon throne, watching the Queen and Li Qingge walk out hand in hand, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that these two women were his important chess pieces and his biggest threats. But he also understood that in this game of power, he had to rely on them to go further.
So, he secretly made up his mind to keep his throne and the future of the Qing Dynasty at all costs. He would not hesitate to pay any price, because he was Emperor Qianlong, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty. He would use his wisdom and courage to write his own legendary chapter.
Li Qingge stood in the magnificent palace, wearing a luxurious dragon robe that made her look majestic and solemn. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see through people's hearts. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was difficult to guess what she was thinking. She paused for a moment, glanced at everyone present, and suddenly said something that shocked everyone: "I have decided to respect you as the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall seemed to be shocked by an invisible force and fell silent for a moment. The Queen and Rong Mama were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their eyes widened, as if they had heard the most incredible thing in the world. They never thought that Qingge would be given the title of the Grand Emperor. You know, from ancient times to the present, the Grand Emperor is either the father of the Emperor or the abdicated Emperor. For women, the most honorable ones are the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager. How can a woman be the Grand Emperor?
The queen's heart was beating like a drum. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, as if to calm the turmoil in her heart. She looked at Qingge, her eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. Rong Mama was also stunned. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
However, Qingge looked calm, as if what she said was just a trivial matter. Her eyes fell on the queen, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness: "Mother, you are the most noble person in my heart, and only you deserve this honorific title."
The queen was even more frightened after hearing this. She shook her head quickly, her voice trembling: "I am just a woman, how dare I usurp the position of the emperor? This is absolutely not allowed!" Her eyes were full of fear and anxiety, as if this title would bring her endless disasters.
Qingge sneered, her smile carrying a hint of sarcasm and helplessness: "What's wrong with being a woman? I almost fell into prostitution back then, but now I have become the king of Dayan, haven't I?" Her voice echoed in the hall, carrying an unquestionable power.
When the queen heard her comparing herself with the past, she quickly said, "I really don't deserve the title of emperor emeritus. Please don't force me." There was a trace of pain and struggle in her eyes, as if this title was an insult and mockery to her.
The Great Yan Kingdom has been established, the world has changed dynasties, and the feudal system has long been outdated. Qingge originally wanted her biological mother to become the first female emperor who had never been an emperor in history, so that she could leave her name in history. She thought her mother would gladly accept this title, but she didn't expect her mother to resist so much. Qingge looked at the queen, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew that her mother was afraid of the pressure brought by this title, but more because of her deep feelings for Qianlong. If his mother became the emperor, how would Qianlong deal with it? He couldn't turn the world upside down and make his father the queen mother, right?
"You really don't want this title?" Qingge asked again, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
"No, no!" The queen shook her head repeatedly, her eyes red. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any moment. Rong Mama also advised: "Princess, please change your title. The title of the Grand Emperor is really inappropriate." There was a hint of pleading and helplessness in her voice.
Qingge sighed, looking somewhat helpless. She looked at the queen, a trace of tenderness and tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Well, since you don't want to be the emperor, how about being the empress dowager?" There was a hint of compromise and concession in her words.
When the queen heard this, she first showed a hint of joy, but then shook her head: "No, I can't be the queen mother either!" Her voice was firm and resolute, as if this decision was made after careful consideration.
Madam Rong became anxious and pulled the Queen's sleeve, saying, "Your Majesty, the position of Queen Dowager is a position that all the women in the harem dream of. How can you give it up so easily?" There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in her voice.
Qingge frowned and thought about it carefully. She didn't understand why her mother didn't even want to be the empress dowager. Didn't she know the dignity and glory of the empress dowager? She looked at Qianlong's mother, Empress Dowager Chongqing Nianhulu, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. That woman who was once just a princess in Prince Yong's mansion and a lowly woman, became Xi Fei and Xi Guifei step by step because her son ascended the throne. Although she had never been an empress, after Qianlong ascended the throne, she served as the empress dowager and the mother of the country. As long as the dynasty does not perish, the position of the empress dowager will never be lost, not to mention the risk of being sentenced to death. How can such treatment be compared with that of a deposed empress?
However, the queen seemed to see through Qingge's thoughts. She shook her head gently, with a hint of bitterness in her voice: "Qingge, you don't understand. This position is not what I want. I just want to live a quiet life and don't want to be involved in these disputes."
Qingge looked at the queen, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart. She knew that her mother was speaking from the heart. She had always longed for a peaceful life, but because of this title, she was dragged into a dispute that she did not want to participate in.
"Then...what do you want?" Qingge's voice trembled a little, as if she was afraid to hear her mother's answer.
The queen looked at Qingge, with a hint of tenderness and determination in her eyes: "I only want your happiness and well-being. As long as you live well, I will be satisfied."
Qingge felt a warm current in her heart after hearing this. She held the Queen's hand tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely live well. I will always be with you and let you live the happiest life."
The queen's eyes were red again when she heard this. She hugged Qingge tightly, as if she wanted to pour all her love and care on this daughter. Rong Mama watched this scene and couldn't help shedding tears.
In the end, Qingge did not force the queen to accept the title. She knew that for her mother, the most important thing was not status and honor, but the happiness and well-being of her family. So, she decided to respect her mother's choice and give her a quiet and happy life. And she herself will continue to work hard and strive for the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Feng Yi Jiu Tian: Qing Ge and the mystery of the queen's title
The sun shines through the thin window paper and falls on a corner of the Forbidden City, adding a touch of soft golden color to this ancient palace. Li Qingge, the newly crowned Emperor Yan, wears a luxurious dragon robe, but her brows reveal a hint of subtle confusion. She stands in front of the queen, her eyes flickering with curiosity and confusion about the unknown.
The queen, the woman who had gone through the baptism of time but was still dignified and elegant, was wearing an intricate and exquisite phoenix robe, and the pearls and jade on her head sparkled in the sun. She saw Qingge's expression change, and a trace of worry flashed in her gentle eyes. She quickly explained: "Xiaowu, you misunderstood, I don't dislike the title of queen mother, it's really that I shouldn't be the queen mother, but the queen dowager."
The title of Empress Dowager, which sounded mysterious and noble, made Qingge frown. Seeing this, the Empress smiled slightly, and that smile contained endless wisdom and tenderness. She began to explain the reason to Qingge in detail.
"As the name suggests, the Empress Dowager is the legal wife of the Emperor Retired. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Retired sound similar, but they are actually very different. The Empress Dowager is the widow of the previous emperor, and there may be several of them. The legal mother is called the Empress Dowager, and the biological mother is called the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, like Cixi and Ci'an. But the Empress Retired is different. She is the legal wife of the Emperor Retired, and she is unique. Even if the Emperor Retired passes the throne to his son, as long as his legal wife is still alive, he cannot make his own mother the Empress Retired."
There was a hint of pride and determination in the Queen's words, and her eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, returning to the days when she fought side by side with Qianlong. Qingge listened quietly, and couldn't help but have a deeper respect for the Queen.
"Also, the Empress Dowager and Consort Dowager who lost their husbands all called themselves 'Ai Jia', which means they are mourning the late emperor. But it's different for the Empress Dowager. Her husband is still alive, so how can she call herself 'Ai Jia'? It's just asking for trouble. If the Emperor Retired dies, the Empress Retired will automatically be promoted to Empress Dowager, and the Emperor can also honor his own mother as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. So, the difference between the Empress Retired and the Empress Dowager is whether the husband is still alive."
When the queen said this, a hint of sadness appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by tenderness. She sighed softly and continued, "Qianlong is still alive and well. If I were to make him the queen mother and call myself 'Ai Jia' every day, wouldn't that be a curse for him to die early? Qianlong would definitely not be able to bear this."
Qingge felt a warm current in her heart after hearing what the queen said. She was touched by the queen's deep affection and also admired her deep friendship with Qianlong. She held the queen's hand tightly, with a firm light in her eyes: "Okay, okay, the queen will be the queen, as long as you are happy!"
The queen felt Qingge's warmth and firmness, and was relieved. She knew Qingge's character very well, and was worried that she would take the initiative to confer the title, angering Emperor Qianlong, hurting the relationship between the couple, and even more afraid of losing her daughter's favor. But now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.
The two smiled at each other, and that smile contained endless tacit understanding. After the title was decided, they began to discuss how to address each other. The queen was afraid that Qingge would come up with something new, so she quickly said: "We Manchus call father Ama and mother E Niang, and add the word 'Huang' in front to make it the emperor's father and mother. You can call me 'Huang E Niang' like Yongji did."
Qingge frowned when she heard this. She was not used to this title, and even a little repulsive. She was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Imperial Mother? I am not used to this title, I don't want it. Before our Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, the emperor called mothers 'Mother Queen', so how about I call you 'Mother Queen'?"
The queen's face changed slightly. She knew the rules and etiquette of the harem very well. This title was obviously inappropriate. She shook her head gently and said softly, "This is not appropriate either. The children in the harem all call me 'Empress Mother'. I'm used to it. If you don't want to, you can call me 'Empress'."
Qingge was silent for a long time, her eyes wandering back and forth on the queen's face, as if she was looking for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "There is no need to change the name, just call me 'mother'. 'Empress Mother' is the custom of the Manchus, and 'Mother' is the etiquette of the Han people. I don't want to use either. Mother, you are a descendant of the Manchus, and you are used to being called 'mother'. It is not appropriate for me to change it. Why don't we both take a step back and use the most intimate name among the people, so that we can appear closer."
The queen felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Qingge's determined eyes and knew that this decision was made from the heart. She nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Okay, let's call you 'mother'. This name is both intimate and natural, just like the bond between us mother and daughter, which can never be severed."
The two hugged each other tightly, and the hug contained endless warmth and understanding. In this magnificent palace, they interpreted the deep affection between mother and daughter in their own way. And the deep affection and respect for Qianlong were also best reflected in this small title.
The sun still shines in every corner of the Forbidden City, covering this ancient palace with a golden coat. Qingge and the Queen stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they depended on each other, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Qingge has grown from a young girl to a wise and powerful emperor, and the queen still maintains her dignity and elegance. The deep mother-daughter love between them has become the most beautiful scenery in the Forbidden City. Whenever someone mentions their story, they can't help but exclaim: "What a deep mother-daughter love!"
Their deep affection and respect for Qianlong have also grown stronger with the passage of time. They know that no matter how time passes, their love and respect for Qianlong will always be engraved in their hearts and become the most precious wealth in their lives. In the days to come, they will continue to move forward hand in hand and jointly protect this world that belongs to them.
Feng Yi Jiu Tian: Qing Ge and the Queen's Title
The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, scattering on the main hall of Kunning Palace, adding a touch of softness to this solemn palace. Li Qingge, the queen of Great Yan, is sitting beside the magnificent dragon throne with her mother, also the queen of Great Yan, discussing state affairs in a low voice. Their faces look unusually peaceful, as if all the noise from the outside world cannot disturb the tranquility between the mother and daughter.
"If the people of Da Yan heard Qingge calling her mother so affectionately, they would definitely praise our queen for being so approachable and down-to-earth." The queen's words were full of smiles, and her eyes were gentle and deep, as if they could see through people's hearts. Qingge heard this and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was both dependence on her mother and the confidence and determination of being a queen.
After listening to Qingge's proposal, the queen felt that this idea was both pertinent and thoughtful, so she smiled and nodded in agreement. Her smile was like the warm sun in spring, warm but not dazzling, which made people respect her. In this way, the matter of honorific titles and addresses was settled. Qingge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this was not just a matter of address, but also a respect and commitment from her as a queen to her mother, family, and country.
Just as the two were immersed in deep thought, there was a sudden noise outside, mixed with the girl's angry rebuke and the helpless sighs of the maids and eunuchs. The queen's face darkened instantly, her brows knitted, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She scolded: "Why is it so noisy outside? How disgraceful!" The voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, which made the surrounding maids and eunuchs tremble.
Rong Mama listened carefully and replied after a while: "It sounds like Princess Huanzhu is here. I wonder why she came to Kunning Palace?" The Queen sighed softly, and a trace of helplessness and fatigue flashed in her eyes. She said softly: "Mama, go and take a look. I want to see what she is up to." Rong Mama responded and walked out quickly in her flower-pot shoes.
The queen shook her head and sighed, "When I heard the noise, I knew Princess Huanzhu was going to make trouble again." Her voice was filled with helplessness and doting, as if she was both troubled and fond of the girl who was about to arrive. Qingge seemed quite indifferent. She took a sip of tea and said, "She is just an illegitimate daughter. What is there to be afraid of? If she dares to cause trouble, she will be severely punished according to the palace rules." Her voice was cold and firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
The queen smiled bitterly. She knew Qingge was right, but some things were not so simple. She said softly, "I want to punish her, but she is loved by the emperor. She cannot be beaten, scolded or changed. If I say something harsh, the emperor will think I am jealous." There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes, as if she was both envious and jealous of the girl.
Qingge pondered in her heart that the male and female protagonists in those palace dramas, except for those in "Smoke Locked in the Tower" and "Ghost Husband", were relatively normal, while the others were all weird, with strange ideas and distorted values. When she was a child, she didn't think there was anything wrong with watching these dramas, and she was quite happy laughing. But now that she has grown up and knows more, she finds that their words and deeds are really ridiculous. She thought to herself: It's not that I am conservative, it's really that the basic values cannot be messed up.
Just as Qingge was lost in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted her thoughts. Princess Huanzhu rushed in with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, with a bit of anger and dissatisfaction on her face. She saw Qingge and the Queen sitting next to the dragon throne at a glance, and a hint of surprise and jealousy flashed in her eyes. She snorted coldly and said, "Hey, isn't this Her Majesty the Queen and the Empress? Why, do you have time to chat here today?"
Qingge frowned when she heard this. She didn't like the girl's attitude, and she didn't like her arrogant attitude. She said coldly, "Princess Huanzhu, what are you doing in Kunning Palace? If not, please go back." Her voice was filled with unquestionable majesty and indifference.
Princess Huanzhu's face changed when she heard this. She didn't expect Qingge to drive her away so directly. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily: "Why are you driving me away? I am the emperor's daughter and a member of this palace. I have the right to be here!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it could pierce one's eardrums.
Qingge sneered, she stood up, walked to Princess Huanzhu, and said coldly: "Just because I am the queen of this country, just because I am the master of this palace! I have the right to decide who can stay here and who should leave!" There was an unquestionable majesty and power in her voice, which made the palace maids and eunuchs around her tremble.
Princess Huanzhu was shocked by Qingge's momentum. She was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and turned away. She secretly swore in her heart that she must teach Qingge a lesson!
The queen watched this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Qingge was capable of handling these matters, and believed that she would do a good job. She said softly, "Qingge, you did the right thing. Some people just need to be taught a lesson so that they will know what the rules are."
Qingge nodded, a hint of determination and resoluteness flashed in her eyes. She knew that as the queen, she had the responsibility to maintain the order and rules of the palace. No one could destroy this tranquility and harmony.
The two sat back beside the dragon throne and began to discuss the next plan. Qingge knew that once the northern land was officially incorporated into the territory of Da Yan, it could be announced to the world. She secretly looked forward to the arrival of that moment, and also looked forward to the future of Da Yan to be more prosperous.
During the discussion, Qingge's thoughts occasionally drifted away. She thought of the plots in those palace dramas, and what Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei did. She thought to herself: Some things may be okay for others to do, but not for Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei. Take the matter of sending Hanxiang away, for example. Hanxiang and Mengdan did have a deep relationship, and the pursuit of freedom of marriage was indeed rare in ancient times. As a modern person, I don't object to their pursuit of true love. But Hanxiang entered the palace to serve the emperor, and she came voluntarily for the peace of Huijiang. Since she doesn't love Qianlong, she shouldn't be entangled with her ex-lover. Doesn't she know that doing so may trigger a war and put her people in danger? The emperor is angry, and millions of corpses are buried. This is no joke.
Qingge couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she thought of this. She knew that the wheel of history was rolling forward, and some things could not be changed. But she also believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to create a better future for Da Yan.
The queen was secretly pleased when she saw Qingge in deep thought. She knew her daughter was capable, wise, and determined to do everything well. She also believed that under Qingge's leadership, Da Yan's future would be more prosperous.
After the two finished their discussion, they stood up and left Kunning Palace. Their figures stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if foreshadowing that the future of Dayan would be even more brilliant. And Princess Huanzhu's commotion was just a trivial episode.
