Chapter 268
"The Empress Dowager has beautiful calligraphy. It is a blessing for Yongji to learn from her. I have made a note of this. Tomorrow I will have someone clean up the South Third Residence. The children can move in at the beginning of April."
"That's fine. Among the princes, only Yongji and Yonghuang are old enough, and there aren't many princesses. However, we need to carefully check the servants around the children one by one to make sure nothing goes wrong."
The Queen Mother's words made Qingying put down the spoon as well.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, your daughter-in-law understands."
"Hurry up, eat more. It's still early for lunch, and you can't starve yourself."
The Queen Mother called out again, and the family lived in harmony and happiness, no longer worrying about trivial matters in the harem.
After the meal, Hongli stood up.
"Empress Dowager, I have some matters to attend to in the Yangxin Palace, so I won't be staying here for long."
"Alright, the affairs of state are more important. You should go back early. The Queen will stay and sort out the matter of Yongji moving to the South Third Residence in a few days."
After Hongli left, the Empress Dowager had the table cleared and took Qingying back to the couch.
"I can see the doubt between your brows has not dissipated. What's going on? Are you still worried about Jin's death?"
Qingying nodded and smiled.
"Aunt, although Jin was not particularly favored, she was quite ambitious. If you say she committed suicide out of grievance, I absolutely don't believe it."
"So, Aunt, are you planning to teach Fucha a lesson?"
"It's just that Qingying is dull and a little confused."
The Queen Mother smiled.
Qingying seems to be getting smarter these years, not as stupid as before, which makes her feel relieved.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
"Aunt, if you really want to teach the Fucha family a lesson, why don't you just pin the blame on Fucha Yixin? But now, without any concrete evidence, will they admit it?"
After all, Qingying has not been in this world for long, and cannot fully understand the significance of the Fucha family in the court.
It’s not surprising to ask this question.
"Everyone has to maintain their dignity, let alone a clan as big as the Fucha clan?"
The Queen Mother's voice rang out faintly, "Moreover, Fucha Yixin is not an ordinary concubine. She is the Empress Yuan's cousin. If there is really irrefutable evidence of a scandal that befell her, it would not only affect her, but it might even tarnish the Empress Yuan's reputation."
"Our Emperor may not seem to have deep feelings for Empress Yuan, but what he really thinks is beyond our comprehension."
"Besides, my only goal is to make Fu Cha behave herself and stop thinking of sending another fool into the palace with the delusion of a high position. It is enough for things to have come to this point."
"If we go too far, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Fucha clan. The Fucha clan is deeply rooted. If they find out something they shouldn't know, it would be bad."
"I see. Aunt is very thoughtful. Qingying admires her."
After a cheerful reply, Qingying continued, "But Qingying is a little curious. Auntie is a vegetarian now, so she probably wouldn't do anything herself. I wonder who was responsible for Jin's death?"
The Queen Mother had a strange look on her face.
"If this person were to tell you, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it either."
This made Qingying even more interested. "Aunt, please stop playing dumb with me. Could it be that Concubine Rong did it herself?"
"Empress Dowager Rong just finished off Imperial Concubine Zhemin. It's not good to act too hastily. It's Imperial Concubine De."
Qingying looked surprised.
A virtuous nobleman?
Yue Ning?
Even people like Xiao Baihua can be so cruel and ruthless at times.
An Lingrong is really good at teaching people.
"Qingying would like to thank Auntie for finding such a good helper for me."
Qingying's words made the Queen Mother laugh.
"Mischievous ghost, if I wasn't worried about you and your son, why would I bother with so much trouble?"
"Aunt, Qingying naturally knows that you worry a lot about me and the children. Please rest assured, I will always remember your kindness to Qingying."
Standing up and walking behind the empress dowager, Qingying pressed her shoulders and responded.
