Chapter 278
"Well, Noble De is a good person, I naturally know that. Since you are delivering something to the Queen Mother, there is no time to delay, so go quickly."
When Hongli finished speaking, Noblewoman De stepped aside and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, please go ahead."
After a while, only Yu Degui and his servant were left on the palace road.
Bao Lian held the prayer flag in her hand and said with a smile, "It is really quite beneficial that the young lady is valued by the Queen Mother."
"Of course. If the Queen Mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to show my face in front of the Emperor."
De Guiren smiled and responded, "But we are outside now, so please don't speak again in the future."
Bao Lian shrank her head and said, "Yes, I will remember this."
"Let's go. This Buddhist robe took me a long time to make, so I have to give it away."
...
After what happened with Jingse, Hongli seemed to feel quite ashamed towards Qingying.
He stayed in Jingren Palace for half a month, which caused some criticism in the harem.
As the sky grew darker, Hongli walked in again.
Qingying hurriedly stood up and went to greet him, "Your Majesty, I asked Xiuxia to call someone from the Imperial Household Department, and they are waiting outside. How about Your Majesty turn over the card first, and then have dinner?"
Hongli laughed when he heard this.
"Others would greet me with a smile when they saw me, but you are different. You are eager to drive me out."
Following Hongli's strength, he walked to the table and sat down.
Qingying jokingly said, "The Emperor has been staying in Jingren Palace for half a month. The sisters in the palace are really looking forward to it."
"Your Majesty, I want to be a virtuous queen. Please don't provoke me."
Qingying rarely joked around in front of Hongli like this.
This sudden visit today reminded Hongli of the days before their marriage.
At that time, Qingying...
It seems to be much more lively.
Now he has become more cautious and more careful.
When it comes to the word "virtuous", Qingying naturally deserves it.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Hongli also understood the reason behind Qingying's words.
Someone must be doing something behind the scenes, dissatisfied with Qingying's growing favor.
Although he was dissatisfied with the gossip, Hongli also understood the difficulties of being a superior.
In this harem, there may be concubines who are most favored among all the other palaces.
But she cannot have more favor than others.
He patted Qingying's hand and said, "Okay, I understand. I will just have dinner with you today. Are you relieved now?"
Qingying smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them talked openly, and the atmosphere of the dinner was very good.
After putting down her chopsticks and drinking a cup of tea, Qingying asked someone to call Liang Jinrui in.
Looking at the silver plate that was brought to her, Qingying pointed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty."
Hongli chuckled, glanced around, and casually flipped over a green card.
Liang Jinrui bowed and retreated.
Qingying continued, "Your Majesty, since the card has been turned, why don't you return to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible? It would be bad to keep Concubine Zhao waiting for too long."
Hongli shook his head helplessly.
He stood up and said, "Well, I can't let you chase people away anymore, I'm leaving now!"
Qingying knelt down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Only then did Hongli turn around and walk away.
Qingying helped Xiuxia up and let out a sigh.
"Xiu Xia, I'm tired. Please get some water."
As the days passed, the harem became like a stagnant pool.
The newcomer had been in the palace for a long time, but had not made any progress.
As the weather got warmer, the amount of ice used in the palace increased dramatically.
Hongli waved a folding fan in his hand and put a piece of watermelon into his mouth with a silver stick. "This weather is really too hot. Not to mention me, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager and the children can't stand it either."
"Qingying, I've been thinking about this for a few years since I ascended the throne. The weather is exceptionally hot this year. Why not stay there for a while?"
Qingying smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, the Old Summer Palace has been kept in good condition. If Your Majesty wishes to go, I will order preparations. We will be able to leave in about three or two days."
"You always do things properly, so give your orders."
