Ulanara Qingying finally fulfilled her wish and entered the palace.

But no one expected that she only had the status of a noble lady!

Narbu was heartbroken and racked his brains to figure it out. How could such a perfect start with only one noble person, his aunt, the Queen Mother and his childhood friendship with the Emperor?

Even, there is not even a title!

How could this be worthy of the dignity of their family?

But to everyone's surprise, Qingying accepted it well.

She was sad for only a short moment after receiving the imperial edict, and then she automatically filled in her mind for Hongli the difficulties behind issuing this edict.

"Brother Hongli truly loves me. I know he has been thinking of ways to bring me into the palace. It's just that due to the previous dynasty and my aunt's dislike for me, he had to delay it for so long."

Ah Ruo, whose mind was still clear at this time, felt something was wrong when she heard this, so she asked hesitantly.

"Princess, do you really think the Emperor wants to take you into the palace? Isn't this something our Master has tried so hard to get?"

Hearing this, Qingying pouted her two bright red lips in dissatisfaction, glanced at A Ruo unhappily, and then continued:

"I heard that Brother Hongli went to the Cining Palace to have a long talk with my aunt last night, and now he couldn't wait to issue an imperial decree this morning. I think he must have had this intention for a long time.

It's just that the previous dynasty and the harem were all afraid of me, so brother Hongli had to fight hard. It's also because my father was not capable enough, otherwise brother Hongli would not have been in trouble for so long.

Fortunately, I am about to enter the palace, and from then on I will finally be able to stay together with my young lover. He is the emperor and has to consider many things, but I know in my heart that I will never make things difficult for him.

Brother Hongli and I have a common understanding and do not care about our status. As long as I can be with him, I will be very happy. "

Ah Ruo was successfully brainwashed by Qingying again. After hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh and praised: "Princess is smart!"

……

On the sixth day of September in the second year of Qianlong's reign, the weather was clear and crisp in autumn, and wild geese were flying high.

On such an ordinary yet sunny day, Qingying entered the palace in a sedan chair with green curtains.

She was granted the right to live in the east side hall of the Yanx Palace.

Although everyone with a discerning eye in the palace thought that Concubine Wu, who was not favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, would not last long, Empress Fucha Langya was still kind enough to clean up the long-uninhabited Yanx Palace.

(Without the Yu Ruyi incident, and the fact that she is the queen this time, Langya is now very confident!)

A'ruo was somewhat disliked by the remoteness of the Yanx Palace, but Qingying smiled faintly after looking around the palace.

“Although the Yanxi Palace is indeed a little far from the Yangxin Palace, Ah Ruo, you see, this palace that Brother Hongli arranged for me is very well arranged. I think he must have personally supervised the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It's better to stay away from them. The concubines in the palace are jealous of my friendship with Brother Hongli. Although this is a little low-key, it can also make the eyes of the six palaces no longer focus on me. After all, I can feel Brother Hongli's protective intention towards me. "

After saying that, Qingying couldn't help but bend down, stretched out her hand wearing blue enamel armor and gently stroked the several dried water lilies planted in the yard.

She loves the purity of plum blossoms and appreciates the elegance of chrysanthemums.

Now that winter has not yet arrived and the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, the Yanxi Palace has ordered people to plant many red chrysanthemums.

She didn't expect that Brother Hongli had considered even these details. She would definitely not let this friendship down!

……

Qingying, who feels very good about herself, is actually not very favored in the harem. She has not had any children for several years, and has not been promoted for several years.

After several unsuccessful attempts to establish a good relationship with Yixiu, she did not lose heart and continued to maintain the dignity of her royal family. Although she was only a minor noble, she stood taller than anyone else.

Her relationship with the concubines in the palace was just average. No one liked her attitude of "the whole world is turbid but I am the only one who is clear", but because Qingying was from the same family as the Empress Dowager after all, everyone just avoided her and seldom interacted with her.

No one was eager to see her self-righteous appearance, so no one would burst her head full of romantic fantasies.

However, every time she heard some news about the "deep love between the emperor and the empress", she couldn't help but doubt herself occasionally: Was it really the right thing to do everything she could to enter the palace?

To be honest, Qingying actually had a pretty good life in the palace.

Everyone avoided her. Hongli would only come to see her two or three times a month. Although Yixiu didn't like to pay much attention to her, the Imperial Household Department never dared to treat her badly.

She was originally quite satisfied. After all, Hongli really didn't like her nagging about things like "egg intestines". Therefore, every time she went there, she would drag Qingying to do elegant things like painting and reading poetry with her.

This greatly satisfied Qingying's spiritual needs, so even if she never had a child and was just a noble, she was not very anxious.

Many years passed in this dull manner. A'ruo had already left the palace and married, and the only senior palace maid left by Qingying's side was Ruoxin.

Sometimes Qingying always feels that her life shouldn’t be so dull, it should be more... tortuous?

Or, in other words, grand and vigorous?

Just when Qingying began to lose control of her thoughts on topics such as life and philosophy, she finally became pregnant.

The queen was virtuous, and there were many children in the palace at that time. As a result, Qingying, who had been in the palace for more than ten years and finally had a child, was not so noticeable.

After having her own child, Qingying seldom thought about those trivial things anymore. Seeing Hongli's happy expression that there would be a new baby in the palace, she also smiled faintly.

Qingying only felt that her heart was filled with sweetness, she was finally going to have a child of her own with her young man!

On April 25th of the 17th year of Qianlong's reign, the noble lady Ulanara gave birth to the twelfth son of the Emperor, Yongqi. The Emperor was very happy to hear the news and ordered that Ulanara be promoted to the rank of Concubine Xian.

Another year passed, and Yixiu's health became worse. She is now over 70 years old and she even lost a tooth a few days ago!

Before Yixiu passed away, Qingying came to serve her medicine every day. Her serious attitude made Yixiu change her mind a little. He felt that although Qingying was very old and her mind was still not very clear, she still had a pure heart.

Yes, he is obsessed with love all his life and would rather live in his own fantasy than take a step towards the outside world. He is even more childish than a child.

On the night Yixiu passed away, the aunt and niece, whose relationship had finally eased a little after many years, had a rare chat together.

Qingying crouched beside Yixiu's bed and said hesitantly:

"Aunt, I had a dream last night. In the dream, my name was not Qingying, but Ruyi."

Yixiu became slightly interested: "Oh? Then what?"

Qingying shook her head slowly, frowned and whispered:

"I can't remember many things in the dream, I just remember that Ruyi in the dream seemed to be very tired..."

Hearing this, Yixiu sighed. She reached out and patted Qingying's smooth and plump forehead, and said comfortingly:

"You have done a great job as a 'green cherry'. It is a small flower, but it blooms beautifully."

As she spoke, Yixiu suddenly smiled and she recalled the first time she saw Qingying.

"However, I still prefer the way you were at the beginning when you held your neck erect. You looked so energetic..."

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the eighteenth year of Qianlong's reign, the empress dowager passed away and was posthumously named "Xiao Jing Xian".

The emperor was extremely sad and stopped attending court for seven days. He was so grief-stricken that he fainted several times on the day the coffin was carried out, and ultimately died young.

Hongli had a weak mother-son relationship throughout his life, but he did not expect that after becoming emperor, he would develop some real mother-son affection with Yixiu.

Even though it was a false beginning, it eventually became a true cause and effect.

As for Qingying?

Her life was not at all as spectacular as she had imagined. Instead, it was dull and boring, and she was immersed in the love fantasy she had created for herself.

Even when she was old and was taken out of the palace by her son to spend her remaining years in retirement, she would still occasionally express her nostalgia for the good times of her youth to the people around her.

"That performance of 'On the Wall' back then was the best play I have ever heard in my life..."

Maybe, I am also happy.
