"I should have just caught up, right? The concubine probably hasn't said anything yet, right?"

The Empress Dowager panted slightly and looked at Qingyan kneeling on the ground, and then at the Empress Dowager sitting high above her.

"No, it's just right." The Empress Dowager said helplessly, holding her forehead.

"That's good, that's good, Aunt Gui, bring me a plate of Shaqima, a plate of beef jerky, and a plate of Ruyi Rolls." The Queen Mother saw Aunt Gui standing next to her with a smile on her face.

said.

As he spoke, he skillfully found his seat and sat down. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cup of steaming milk tea placed on the small table next to the Queen Mother's right hand.

He quickly added: "I feel thirsty after running all the way. Please give me another cup of Mongolian milk tea with more sugar."

"Hey! I will prepare it for you right now." Aunt Gui was very happy to see the Queen Mother!

After all, this master is easy-going, smiling, and full of vitality. Every time he comes to Cining Palace, the entire main hall seems to light up!

It's not easy for the master to live this life. His husband is unloving and his son is unfilial.

From the grassland to Shengjing, and now living in this square Forbidden City, the sadness and ups and downs along the way are clearly visible to those who accompanied him.

Thanks to the Empress Dowager's company, the master felt more comfortable for the rest of his life.

Even if it was not because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the master, the old people like Aunt Gui regarded the Empress Dowager as their own juniors and loved her. They nodded obediently and hurried down to get ready.

Qingyan looked at the Queen Mother's round figure and couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart, maybe this is not only because of the Queen Mother's generous heart, but maybe it's more of what she eats?

Fortunately, she has special powers and is very strong. She eats a lot, digests it quickly, and doesn't gain weight.

After everything was ready, the Empress Dowager firmly took control of the home court of Cining Palace.

·

She picked up a piece of spiced beef jerky carefully made by the imperial chef and put it in her mouth, chewing it while saying: "Empress Huang, please start asking quickly."

The Empress Dowager: ...My rebellious son who likes Sinology doesn’t like Qiqige, but it’s not all because she is from Mongolia!

The original serious atmosphere was completely disrupted. She waved her hand towards Qingyan helplessly: "Little Hershey, please explain carefully what the harsh treatment you just mentioned was about?"

Talking about the original Cining Palace, Qingyan could still feel a little nervous looking at the dignified Queen Mother sitting above.

After all, she was the most famous female politician in the Qing Dynasty - Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Even if she didn't speak, her noble and restrained aura was still very powerful!

At the end of the world, Qingyan was just an ordinary high-level earth-type powerhouse in the base. With her status, it was absolutely impossible to meet such a top-level person in power, let alone such an opening.

The leader of a feudal dynasty who controls his own life and death?

Perhaps because Kangxi was still young and did not have much prestige, she might have cared more about the Empress Dowager than the former.

Now that the Empress Dowager is casually "eating melons and watching a show" by the side, the original solemn atmosphere has been swept away, and it has suddenly turned into a chat at a tea party.

·

Qingyan cleared her throat and then said, "I would like to ask if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed any desire to eat when he saw the Queen Mother eating."

Although the Queen Mother didn't know why Qingyan mentioned this, she still subconsciously recalled that it was indeed the case.

Precisely because every time Yin Reng came to her palace, she would eagerly look at the pastries here, so she would prepare pastries suitable for children and easy to digest in the small kitchen every day.

As long as Yinreng comes, Lagu Sumala can immediately serve him something hot.

She nodded and signaled Qingyan to continue.

Qingyan felt confident, and then raised her voice and said firmly:

"That's all because these slaves are afraid that their master will be held responsible for eating too much food, so they deliberately don't let His Highness eat enough during every serious meal time. The children can't help but be hungry. Don't they get greedy when someone is eating?"

Qingyan's words made the room quiet for a moment.

Before anyone could react, Qingyan said louder:

"This slave feels unfair for Your Highness!"

"The majestic prince of the Qing Dynasty, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, what a noble status he has, but under the noses of you and the emperor, he was fooled by this group of daring minions and lived a life of starvation!"

When she said these words, Qingyan was really angry. She also used unique pronunciation skills to ensure that her voice was loud enough and the words were clear, so that everyone in the Cining Palace could hear her clearly.

·

If the previous words just make people feel a little sparse and ordinary, isn't it because the children don't have enough to eat?

There are so many hungry people in the world today!

But the words that followed were like thunder, ringing in everyone's ears.

Yes, the person who is hungry is not an ordinary person, but the prince of a country!

For a moment, the entire Cining Palace was so quiet that one could hear needles dropping.

Qingyan's eyes were half closed, her gaze lowered, waiting for everyone's reaction.

·

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous. He Zhuer looked at Qingyan in disbelief, and then turned his attention to the trembling Sui Lan.

The Empress Dowager's hand that reached out to take the Ruyi Juan paused.

Only the Empress Dowager was still sitting on the ground without any reaction.

"Little Hershey, you can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. If you are not careful, you will die."

The Queen Mother's tone became a little serious and she spoke to Qingyan.

Now that she has come to this point, Qingyan has no fear at all!

"Returning to the Queen Mother, every word of what I said is true."

"Today, this servant is having a meal, and His Royal Highness the Prince is looking at you eagerly, showing that he wants to eat."

"I heard from these servants that the prince came here after finishing his meal. I didn't pay attention at first, but His Highness the prince's eyes are too clear."

"I believe that a child as talented and intelligent as His Highness can definitely express his wishes clearly, so he boldly and quietly reached into the Prince's coat and touched His Highness's belly. It was flat, but some places were dry!

"

"Concubine Hesheli, even if you are the master, you can't talk nonsense. Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't eat much every time. He only went to Chuxiu Palace today after eating meals and paste."

Sui Lan's eyes turned red with anger, and she refuted Qingyan loudly and urgently.

Qingyan didn't even look at Sui Lan beside her, and continued without squinting: "His Royal Highness, at this age, does eat more and less, but this is not the reason for you to treat His Highness harshly."

"The Empress Dowager, I have grown up in the village. I have seen many farm children running barefoot in the crop fields. If the children have eaten enough, I can really feel it by touching their belly. Again.

”

"What else?" The Queen Mother suddenly looked at Qingyan with sharp eyes.

Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Empress Dowager didn't believe what she said?

·

"Furthermore, if they do this, His Highness will instinctively want to eat a lot every time he sees food. Your Highness is young and has a weak stomach. If you are not careful, you will be more likely to overeat. If you happen to have a meal with you or the Emperor,

Sometimes, he will also cause trouble because of his salivation."

"Besides, Your Highness is still at an age where you don't care about anything. You can obviously drink from porcelain cups in your palace, but in the mouth of these greedy slaves, it has become that His Highness except gold, silver and other luxurious tableware.

Nothing is needed.”

"I'm worried that someone will catch you if you act like this. If His Highness is known to be gluttonous and loves luxury, it will damage the Crown Prince's image as a prince to the outside world!"

Sui Lan's voice was louder, but Qingyan's voice was even louder than hers. She was like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. She finished the long paragraph in one breath without even breathing, and then with a "bang", she knelt down heavily.

In order to make the effect more prominent, Qingyan also wrapped a trace of supernatural power around her knees, doubling the effect!

The sound of your knees touching the black marble floor tiles was so loud and clear!

It makes people feel pain when they hear it, but in fact, they are not injured at all!

The people present were all human beings. Qingyan spoke quickly, and her language was simple and straightforward, without any of the euphemisms commonly used in the palace. Suilan, who was left alone and helpless, couldn't help but become angry.

·

"So that's it. What should I say? Every time Baocheng looks at my beef jerky eagerly," the Empress Dowager murmured.

Then he said angrily: "Huang'e Niang, you have to check it carefully. If Baocheng has never had enough to eat, how can he strengthen his body? No wonder Baocheng still can't walk steadily until now."

Woolen cloth!"

He Zhuer added quietly in his heart: The reason for His Royal Highness's unsteadiness in walking is not because of the food, but because of the Emperor!

He originally felt that every time His Highness ate, the soup in the bowl was a little too little.

He had mentioned it a few times, but at that time Gu and Sui Lan blocked him because of their "parenting experience". Seeing that the little prince didn't cry, he never cared about it.

He secretly turned his eyes to Qingyan, who was kneeling on the ground again, and couldn't help but feel a hint of gratitude and happiness.

Fortunately, this matter was now exposed in public by Concubine Hesheli, and she was not involved.

Presumably his punishment would not be too serious, because the clothes behind He Zhuer were so frightened by these continuous words that they became wet with sweat and stuck tightly to his back!

The Empress Dowager is not a person who listens to one thing or another, and Hesheli is a smart person.

She was convinced of this granddaughter-in-law's ability to control people.

Presumably, the person she can take care of at her deathbed must be someone who was very loyal during her lifetime.

There should be other things involved in this.

She turned the prayer beads in her hand and signaled with her eyes that Sui Lan should be taken down for questioning first.

Sui Lan wanted to say something, but two sturdy Mongolian nuns covered her mouth and dragged her out.

She could see that Qingyan's eyes were bright when she talked about Yinreng, and her heartache for Yinreng was real.
