Chapter 358
Lingpin seemed surprised by the sudden good news.
It was not until Lan Cui pushed her hand that she reacted.
She knelt down hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, it seems that Concubine Ling is the most polite, but it's not appropriate for a pregnant woman to kneel for long."
Qingying's words prompted Hongli to speak up immediately, "That's right, Lingpin, since the Queen has spoken, you should get up quickly."
After saying this, he watched Lingpin stand up and sit down, and then said, "I think the Queen has also told you that she will go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat in a few days."
"Everyone, please tidy up your own palaces and take good care of the children. Don't let anything go wrong. Do you understand?"
It has not yet been stated who will go to the Old Summer Palace.
But Hongli's words gave hope to some of the concubines who were not favored.
Could it be that I can go to the Old Summer Palace this year?
For a moment, they all ignored the rules and looked at Hongli with burning eyes.
Only then did the Emperor realize that he seemed to have said something wrong.
He raised his hand and touched his nose. "Alright, it's getting late, let's all go. The Queen and I still have something to discuss."
Everyone didn't say much.
After leaving Jingren Palace, they walked towards their own palaces in groups of three or two.
The one who ended up last today was Concubine Ke from Zhongcui Palace.
The maid Cui Ning held the hand of Concubine Ke, with a puzzled look on her face.
"My Lord, aren't we going back?"
Noble Lady Ke pursed her lips and said, "Of course we have to go back, but it's really boring to stay in Zhongcui Palace all day. Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden today."
Cui Ning looked puzzled.
Cui Ning knew best what kind of personality her master had.
He was only thinking about galloping on horseback on the grassland in the past, so how could he care about this corner of the imperial garden?
Why did you change your temper today and want to go to the Imperial Garden?
Although he was doubtful, he did not show it at all on his face.
She smiled and nodded, "My lady, you used to be reluctant to go out, but you didn't know that the Imperial Garden has added many rare flowers this year. Today, I can also go with you to open your eyes."
Concubine Ke curled her lips and said, "How could I have restrained you? From now on, if you want to see something, just go and see it yourself. Don't worry about me."
Cui Ning smiled and said, "Yes, thank you very much, my lady."
Noble Lady Ke and his servant walked away slowly.
The topic of conversation in Jingren Palace fell on this Mongolian concubine who had been out of favor since entering the palace.
"Mr. Ke, is there anything different recently?"
Hongli's sudden question left Qingying puzzled.
"Noble Lady Ke? Your Majesty, she has been living in Concubine Chun's palace since she entered the palace. I haven't heard of any difference."
"The amount of soups sent to Yangxin Palace has increased significantly these days. I casually asked about it yesterday and discovered that she had sent some as well."
Qingying was even more confused.
"Your Majesty, Consort Ke is your concubine. Isn't it natural for her to think of you? Am I stupid, or has Your Majesty discovered something unusual? Could you please tell me?"
Hongli frowned.
"A few days ago, the Dzungar Dashidawa tribe submitted a memorial stating that Consort Ke had been in the palace for a long time, and that Saiyinchak and his wife missed their daughter and wanted to send their youngest daughter to the capital to visit her sister."
"Although the memorial didn't state it explicitly, judging by Saiyinchak's tone, I'm afraid he's dissatisfied with Concubine Ke's inability to conceive."
"Not long after this memorial was submitted, Noble Lady Ke began to seek favor."
"This kind of connection between the former and harems really worries me. If Concubine Ke really gives birth to a child, won't Saiyinchak have any inappropriate thoughts?"
What Hongli said made Qingying frown.
So, what the person in front of me means is that he wants to consider Saiyinchak's face and not neglect Ke Guiren, but also doesn't want her to get pregnant?
Several thoughts flashed through my mind.
Qingying just pretended not to understand what the other person meant.
She tentatively said, "This concubine entered the palace to have children. Noble Lady Ke came from thousands of miles away and entered the Forbidden City alone. It is not uncommon for her to want to have a child by her side."
