Changchun Palace Ci

Chapter 24

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

"The servant sees the emperor."

Seeing this, the three quickly saluted and said in unison.

"Excuse me," Hongli said casually, but his eyes fell on Rongyin's hand, "What is the empress holding?"

Hearing this, Rong Yin first subconsciously tightened his hands, and after looking at Hongli, he put the stone in his hand on the table.

Hongli stared straight at Rongyin with no expression on his face, even Rongyin who had lived with him for several years could not see what his emotions were at the moment.After a long while, Hongli finally glanced at the stones on the table, and then looked back.

"The dignified empress of the Qing Dynasty would play with such mundane things." Hongli said, dissatisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Yu behind Hongli began to wink at Wei Yingluo non-stop.

Wei Yingluo gave Li Yu an affirmative look, took another deep breath, and then straightened up and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, this thing was ordered by my concubine to be brought to Changchun without the empress' knowledge. In the palace, just now the empress could not bear the stalking by the concubine, so she reluctantly agreed to play with the concubine once. If the emperor wants to punish, he should punish the concubine."

"Hmph," Hongli snorted coldly, and said with some sarcasm, "Don't think that I don't know what you have been doing recently. You have just entered the palace, and you have a stubborn nature, which is understandable. What about the queen? How decent is it for the dignified Empress of the Qing Dynasty to be obsessed with these gadgets all day long!"

After finishing speaking, Hongli slapped the table hard with one hand.The stones on the table bounced up and down, making a tinkling sound.

Seeing this, Wei Yingluo immediately knelt down and knocked her head on the ground: "The emperor calm down."

Rong Yin looked at Wei Yingluo on the ground with some distress, and was just about to kneel down with her when Mingyu supported her.

"Your Majesty, you are not in good health, but you must not kneel! If you want to kneel, it is the servant who kneels for your Majesty." After speaking, after Rongyin stood firm, Mingyu also knelt down.

Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, Rong Yin choked up, "Mingyu..."

Hongli frowned and glanced at Wei Yingluo, and choked back the words that had reached his throat.

In the end, Hongli waved his sleeves and turned around: "Forget it, you can do it yourself. Li Yu, go to Chuxiu Palace."

"Your servant obeys." Hearing this, Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

"The slave sends the emperor respectfully."

After Hongli walked away, Wei Yingluo and Mingyu stood up from the ground.

Rong Yin stared fixedly at the direction where Hongli was leaving, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she was about to hold back tears in the next moment.Wei Yingluo's heart also stung a bit, but then she quickly put away her inner displeasure, and called out tentatively: "Your Majesty..."

"Yingluo, Mingyu, thank you." Rongyin turned around and said softly.

"If I could do it again, I would rather not enter the imperial city in this life." These were the last words Rong Yin said to Wei Yingluo when she left Rong Yin's bedroom that day.

That empress, let me protect you from now on, and give you back the life you want.

……

A few months later, in Changchun Palace.

"Concubine Ling, do you see what I brought you today?" Hongli said, walking into the side hall with a jade pendant in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.

The author has something to say: It is estimated that something big will happen in the next chapter.
