Strictly speaking, there was nothing important about this tree. When she was going to Yunnan to marry Wu Yingxiong, Xuan Ye saw her off on the city tower just after she walked out of the city gate.

At that time, she stopped the carriage and planted a small sapling on the edge of the official road without any trees. Xuan Ye could just see this little bit of green from the tower.

Later, she came back from Yunnan successfully. In order to flatter her, Wei Xiaobao said that this tree was a precious tree when he passed by it, so that everything went smoothly for the princess. It was so easy for Wu Sangui and his son Wu Yingxiong to get married.

He died, and the news has spread since then.

Taomi doesn't take it to heart, and I believe Xuan Ye doesn't take it to heart either, but Taomi is making a fuss now and wants to get to the bottom of it, and no one can do anything to her.

On the contrary, some people will be punished because of her fuss this time. Let's settle the old and new accounts together.

"Who are you? You are scaring people in this tree. Do you know that wearing white clothes looks like a ghost?" Xiao Yanzi was the first to react and said. She had never seen Taomi before, so naturally she didn't know her identity.

Already.

"You don't know who I am, but these guys should know it very well." Tao Mi looked away coldly.

Xiao Yanzi thought that Taomi was just pretending now, so she said in a very nonchalant voice, "I don't care who you are, do you know who I am? Grandma, I am the adopted daughter of the current emperor."

"I have met the Queen!" Forte was the first to kneel down and salute, and then all the eunuchs also knelt down.

Now only Xiaoyanzi, Xia Ziwei and Yongqi stood at a loss.

Xiao Yanzi also realized that she had just said the wrong thing, and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Taomi in disbelief, and then looked at Yong Qi and Xia Ziwei, wanting to know from their mouths whether this was true or not.

of.

But Xia Ziwei, like her, had never seen Tao Mi before, while Yong Qi was completely stunned and didn't make any move.

Xiao Yanzi didn't understand anything when she saw this, but she didn't make too many moves, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she was just as stunned as Yongqi Xia Ziwei.

After a long time, Xia Ziwei stepped forward and said, "Princess, you are also our elder, so you will definitely not be as familiar with us juniors, right?"

Junior? What a coincidence, what she likes most is being more serious.

"Oh, I just said that Hongli can't do it. Now he has added that he has no way to teach his son and does not carry his luggage when he sees his elders. Is this what Hongli's favorite son and daughter, the invisible prince, should do?" Taomi

He said with a cold snort.

Although she didn't have much time to return to the palace this time, she knew almost everything she should know about the situation in the palace. This fifth elder brother was Qianlong's favorite son and was almost the appointed crown prince. But in Taomi

It seems that he is nothing more than that.

"Yongqi has met the princess. Huang Ama's education has always been the best. It is Yongqi who failed to live up to expectations and failed to learn one ten thousandth of what Huang Ama is. Please forgive me, princess." Yongqi raised her hand and remained the same.

There is no way to salute.

Taomi snorted again, which frightened Xia Ziwei's tears into her eyes again. Taomi ignored them and walked aside, blew her fingers, and saw a white horse running towards this side.

He turned around and smiled, "I'll be waiting for you." Then he mounted his horse and galloped away.

Seeing that Taomi disappeared, Forte stood up and said in a daze, "Brother Five, could it be that the princess heard what we just said?"

"I think it should be." Yong Qi also nodded blankly. Forgive him that he really can't think of any other state now. Didn't it mean that the princess had left before Yu Yu? Why are you meeting here now?

arrive?

"Then what should we do now?" Xia Ziwei's tears finally filled her eyes and overflowed, but none of the people present saw it, perhaps because they didn't have the time to think about it.

I finally made it out of the palace, but before I had gone very far, I encountered something like this. What should I do now?

When I heard Taomi's words just now, it seemed that even the emperor didn't take her seriously. Now that they have done such a thing, I'm afraid they will be taught and punished again when they return.

"Tsk, I don't believe that the queen can be so unreasonable. We only said we would cut down this tree, but we didn't actually cut it down. We are the children of Emperor Ama, how can we be afraid that she can't become a princess?

No matter how old a princess is, can she be bigger than the emperor? Don't say she is a queen, this is not her country, she is just a princess here, just like Ziwei."

Xiao Yanzi cut it without hesitation, but the people present did not have such a good attitude as her. In terms of rank, the princess was not as senior as the emperor, but in terms of seniority, even the emperor would call her aunt.

Yong Qi and Xia Ziwei didn't have Xiao Yanzi's good attitude. Knowing that they were in big trouble this time, they quickly thought of a way. However, after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a reliable way. Instead, they waited until Qianlong sent someone to look for them.

People, now they have to return to the palace.

As soon as they returned to the palace, they were personally taken to the Qianqing Palace by the emperor's personal eunuch. They looked at Taomi sitting on the throne. Although she was still wearing the same white clothes they had seen before, the clothes around her were still the same.

The temperament and aura are very different from those outside the palace before.

At this time, a palace maid brought up a cup of tea and placed it on the low table between Taomi and Qianlong. Qianlong's hand had already reached the cup holder, but seeing that Taomi had no intention of drinking it, he just admired his fingers.

, and he took his hand back slyly.

Manchu women cherish their fingers very much, that's why they wear such heavy armor, but Tao Mi is not wearing anything on her hands now, and her nails are still very beautiful, round and full | full, slender and white, and you can't tell at all that this is

Centenarian's hands.

"Okay, now that everyone is back, Your Majesty can ask." Taomi put her hands on her knees and asked lazily, leaning on the pillow next to her.

"Ahem, Yongqi Ziwei, little Yanzi, what did you three just do?" Qianlong cleared his throat and asked. Although it was his personal decision to agree to the three of them leaving the palace, he couldn't say it now.

You can ask that.

"When I return to Emperor Ama, I have just taken Ziwei and Xiao Yanzi out of the palace to play. Because Xiao Yanzi has recently become obsessed with kicking Cuju, we took Cuju out of the palace and didn't go far. We just stayed there.

We walked around not far outside the palace and came back immediately after hearing Huang Ama’s order for us to come back.”

Yong Qi spoke concisely and concisely, as if he explained the whole matter very clearly. Taomi was waiting for him to finish, without any intention of refuting, waiting for Qianlong to continue.

Of course Qianlong knew that what Yongqi said was not everything, but what would he say now?

"Your Majesty, I was born and raised in the Forbidden City. I dare say that no one in the Forbidden City understands the rules of survival here better than me. But are these fifth princes playing word games with me?

"

Qianlong's heart skipped a beat. It was all a vague thing at first, but now it was revealed like this. He felt unusually surprised, "Yongqi, how did you guys anger the princess? Why don't you get it right as soon as possible? Otherwise, don't do it."

It’s no wonder that I don’t have any kindness towards you.”

"It's unfair, Your Majesty. We are indeed just what the fifth elder brother said. If you don't believe anything, just go and ask. But you can't just listen to the princess and not believe us. Before

You imprisoned Ertai's aunt in the cold palace just because of a few words from this princess. You have already lost your concubine, do you still want to lose our lovely children?"

At first, Xiao Yanzi could still remember that she had never seen Ling Fei before, so she was talking about the scene in Ertai, but then she suddenly became excited and directly said the four words "Ling Fei".

Character.

Taomi looked over and then looked at Qianlong. Sure enough, she was not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but was afraid of teammates who were like pigs. Is it okay for Xiao Yanzi to betray his teammates so obviously?

But the most ridiculous thing is that the one who was sold still has no consciousness and does not feel that he has been sold. Is this surely the IQ that the emperor should have?

"If I remember correctly, wasn't your concubine beaten to the cold palace by the emperor because she insulted the late emperor's heroic spirit? How come she was framed by me? This is what the emperor told your children.

?"

There was still no change in Taomi's voice, but her careless look made Qianlong's heart beat violently. What was going on? She really came in from outside the palace, and she didn't know what to do.

"Princess, please calm down. Xiao Yanzi just entered the palace not long ago. She doesn't know how to behave. I have told her before that my concubine was thrown into the cold palace because she offended the emperor's law. But she just didn't study much before.

, I don’t know much about the rules in the palace, so please don’t take offense, princess.”

Qianlong now wishes he had never let Xiao Yanzi enter the palace. A princess is already very difficult to deal with. If this is coupled with the fact that he doesn't hide the royal family's treatment, it would be okay if he doesn't hide it. After all, the royal family is no longer so authoritative.

Okay, but the reason why this is not concealed needs to be explained. As for the situation Xiao Yanzi said, if it is established, it will not be enough to look at it a hundred times.

"If you don't study enough, you should continue to study. People always have to be motivated, right?" Taomi still said lightly. As expected, when she raised her head, she saw Xiao Yanzi's dissatisfied look on her. Her eyes, which were not small at first, became even bigger now.

, but fortunately my cheeks were a little rosy because of my anger, otherwise some people would have thought they saw a ghost with a pair of big eyes on their snow-white face.

Taomi ignored it and said directly, "There is one more thing I don't understand very well, and I hope Hongli can explain it to me."

"Princess, please speak."

"I remember that when you put your concubine into the cold palace, you had already reduced her status to "Yes". According to the rules, you should call her Wei "Wei Yesheng". When she died, she was just a "Promise", but now

You all call her 'Your Majesty', is it possible that the Qing Dynasty has declined to the point where the status that the emperor personally demoted does not count?"

Now Qianlong was faced with two choices. The first was to admit that the Qing Dynasty had fallen in his hands, and his children no longer listened to what he said. Then the majesty he had as the emperor would be gone, and he would still be given

The elders left the impression of incompetence. After all, the Qing Dynasty was still very good in the hands of his emperor, but it was unreasonable that it would not work for him.

Another is to make him admit that he missed his old relationship and promoted her status to the imperial concubine after Wei's death. However, this has given him a reputation of disrespecting his ancestors. After all, the imperial concubine's death was

It was also because of disrespect for the late emperor.

Neither of these two choices is a good thing, but this is not the worst thing. If it is admitted that your concubine did not die, but was saved by him, the consequences will be even greater. After thinking about it, Qianlong

There is no reasonable answer for Taomi.

Taomi really doesn't know why Yin G chose Hongli as his successor. Is it because he was Emperor Qianlong in history? Then this reason is really far-fetched.

"Okay, I won't ask you why. I will truthfully tell Yin what you, Hongli, and your children have done. In the final analysis, this is just your 'household matter', so I won't

Involved."

As she said that, Taomi got up and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, by the way, I also know that you didn't execute your concubine. I heard what your children said, so in the future you

No matter what situation I end up in, the biggest disaster will not be mine. You must remember this carefully."

It’s over!

When Taomi stood up, these two words popped up in Qianlong's mind. Now that he heard Taomi say this again, three more words popped up in Qianlong's mind.

It's all over!

It's all over, everything is over. If it was just a failure to teach his son well before, then now he is disrespecting his ancestors. With these two crimes added together, no one can save him.
