Chapter 5(1/3)

Before "cancel", Xiaoyanzi still has one level to pass.

On this day, Xiaoyanzi was taken to the Ganqing Palace to meet Qianlong and Empress Ling Concubine accompany her.

The empress of Qianlong, surnamed Wulanara, was the second empress of Qianlong. Qianlong's first empress "Empress Xiaoxian", was humble and loved by everyone. She was very beautiful and had a deep affection with Qianlong. Unfortunately, she did not live long and died in the thirteenth year of Qianlong. Qianlong was extremely sad and wrote many poems to mourn her. In his heart, no one could succeed the position of "Empress". However, the six palaces could not be ruled without control. At the sign of the empress dowager, the current queen was established. Because "Empress Xiaoxian" was in front of him, Everyone would compare the two queens, and Ulanara lost to Empress Xiaoxian. Qianlong himself was also dissatisfied with this queen. He was neither as "respectful" as Empress Xiaoxian, nor as "possessed" as Concubine Ling. Therefore, this queen was very frustrated and lonely. In order to prove that she was smart and capable, she was strong in everything; for the dignity of the queen, she often spoke harshly. In her heart, there were indeed many imbalances, and these imbalances turned her into a sharp and difficult person.

Xiaoyanzi knew nothing about these things. When she walked into the hall, she saw Qianlong and the Queen.

Qianlong and the queen sat upright at the table. Qianlong smiled, but the queen was very serious. When Xiaoyanzi saw the queen, she felt up and down and full of anxiety. She knew that if she had any enemy in the palace, it was this queen. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, bent her knees randomly, and asked:

"You call me?"

The queen looked stern and glanced at Concubine Ling.

"Is this a good word?" He stared at Xiaoyanzi sharply and asked, "You can't even say 'Please hello'? When you see the emperor and the queen, you actually use the words 'you'?"

The little swallow was stunned.

"That...isn't 'you', what are?"

Qianlong hurriedly called haha:

"Teach slowly, teach slowly!" He glanced at Concubine Ling, but his eyes were soft, "You are a little tired, let me explain everything to her!"

"Yes!" Concubine Ling responded.

"Little Swallow! Sit down!" Qianlong said.

A palace maid brought a small stool to sit down.

Qianlong said with a kind look:

"Today, I and the Queen called you here because there are still many things I don't understand about your life experience, and you need to explain them clearly! If these questions are clarified, you are my "My Fair Princess"!"

Xiaoyanzi's heart suddenly sank, and she opened her eyes wide to look at Qianlong. Questions? Make it clear? These "questions" have been cleared. No matter what "return to the Condor Heroes" or "sent to the Condor Heroes", I'm not! What should I do? Or, just do it! Let me tell you the truth! She thought to herself, her eyes turned around and happened to touch the queen's eyes, and that glance stared at her maliciously, as if saying: "Look at me to pull out your fox tail! Look at your head still can't be kept!" Xiaoyanzi's heart thumped, almost jumping out of her throat. I don't want to be caught by you! I must not be caught by you! She swallowed a saliva and looked at Qianlong:

"Yes! Just ask!"

"Have your mother told you how I met her?" Qianlong asked softly.

The little swallow relaxed and said hurriedly:

"Yes! She said that in order to hide from the rain, Emperor Ama went to her place to "small seat". Later, the rain stopped and Emperor Ama didn't want to leave anymore! The "small seat" became a "small seat"! Later..."

Qianlong was shocked. In front of the two concubines, he was a little embarrassed when he mentioned the events of previous years. He was busy interrupting and coughing in a concealment:

"That's right, shelter from the rain and shelter from the rain. That's right!"

The queen's face looked very bad.

"Little Swallow, when did you leave Jinan? When did you arrive in Beijing?" asked the queen.

The little swallow rolled her eyes and calculated the days of Ziwei:

"I left Jinan in August last year and arrived in Beijing in February this year."

"Oh? So, it's only been a few months since you arrived in Beijing. Why are you talking about authentic Beijing movies? You can't hear a Shandong accent?" the queen asked keenly.

Xiaoyanzi answered alertly:

"Queen, you don't understand. My mother has hired a teacher for me since she was a child to teach me Beijing dialect. I only now know why my mother did this! It turns out that she already knew that one day I might come to Beijing and speak Beijing dialect!"

Qianlong was so moved that he nodded frequently.

Concubine Ling sighed and said sympathetically:

"It's really a good intention!"

The queen glared at Concubine Ling gloomy and turned sharply to Xiaoyanzi.

"So that's it! Then, you won't know how to speak hometown dialect! Say a few words of Shandong dialect and tell us!"

Xiaoyanzi was stunned and felt a little happy. What's the problem with me in Shandong dialect? Liu Qing and Liu Hong are both from Shandong! When I was performing, I often pretended to be from Shandong! Thinking of it, my face turned upright and I shouted in a Shandong accent:

"Buns, steamed buns, bean paste buns... fragrant and big buns, steamed buns, bean paste buns... hot buns, steamed buns, bean paste buns..."

The palace maids tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Qianlong and Concubine Ling looked at each other, and they were a little ridiculous.

The queen's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Okay, okay, say something else!" the queen interrupted her.

"Other?" Xiaoyanzi thought about it and said fluently in Shandong dialect, "I am here to go to the precious land. In order to find my relatives, my father did not find me. I got a serious illness again and almost lost my life! The money I had done, so I dared to show my bad luck here and perform some fist and foot skills for everyone! I hope that the masters and aunts in Beijing will be kind and have money to pay for me to raise the money back to my hometown. My great kindness, Xiaoyanzi will be a cow and horse in the next life, and I will repay you!"

The queen frowned:

"This word is so fresh! It's very well spoken!"

"I've practiced many times!" Xiaoyanzi was proud and rushed out.

The queen asked immediately:

"What are you doing with this?"

The little swallow was shocked, opened her eyes wide and quickly turned her thoughts.

"If I can't find my father again, I have no money on me, so I have to go to the streets to sell my skills!" she said.

Qianlong felt very sad when he heard this. Concubine Ling also looked pity. Only the queen, the more she listened, the more confused she became.

"You have some skills in punching and kicking? How could your mother actually teach you this?"

Xiaoyanzi is originally a "expert" who is no longer afraid of lying now, and she becomes more and more casual when she talks:

"Yes! My mother said that if a girl doesn't learn a little kung fu at home, she will easily be bullied. She wants me to learn fists and kicks. Unfortunately, I don't work hard and I haven't learned anything well."

The queen looked at Xiaoyanzi coldly and said forcefully:

"Your mother cultivates you like this, your knowledge must be very good! Your emperor Ama can be both literary and martial, and has strong poetry and songs. I believe you have also learned poetry and songs! Memorize two poems and listen to them!"

Xiaoyanzi was shocked and then felt that the problem was coming. She looked at the queen and Qianlong, and was a little panicked.

"My mother didn't teach me to write poetry..." She was speechless and hesitant.

The queen suddenly raised her voice:

"That's strange! Your mother teaches you how to speak Beijing dialect, how to punch and kick, but not how to write poetry? Then, have you always read the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"What book and what scripture?" she thought, her eyes lit up, "I can recite a few words of the 'Three Character Classic'."

"What else? There is no need to have only the Three Character Classic, right?"

Xiaoyanzi sweated on her forehead and found that the queen was really difficult to deal with. She felt anxious and the effort of slack off came out. She thrust her back, and she was so embarrassed that she shouted out with a gale:

"I have no knowledge and have never studied many books! The queen examined me like this. Does the emperor don't recognize me? Forget it if I don't recognize me! There is no need to test me!"

The queen was shocked and angry:

"Your Majesty! What is her attitude? Can't I ask her?"

Qianlong had already recognized Xiaoyanzi, and said "Hide on the Rain" and then hit Qianlong's past. He had no doubts in his heart, only pity. Seeing Xiaoyanzi being forced by the queen, he felt even more unbearable. He looked at Xiaoyanzi with all his heart, anxious for her. Before he could say anything, Xiaoyanzi had already spoken loudly:

"My mother, she is just very strange! She taught me this and that, but she didn't teach me how to do things well! She said, why did the girl learn so much at home? She is dead now, and I can't ask her why. Anyway, I can't figure it out, and I don't understand... If you ask again, I still don't understand..."

When Qianlong heard this, he felt sad. He guessed Yu He's mentality. He could no longer hold back and said sadly:

"You don't understand, I understand!"

Xiaoyanzi was shocked, her eyes were so wide that I didn't understand, you actually understood? She asked in surprise:

"Ah? Emperor Ama understands?"

Qianlong nodded heavily.

"Yes, I understand everything!" He sighed, "Ah! Your mother is a real talented woman! Poetry, songs, music, calligraphy and painting, everything is fine! At the beginning, it was her talent that moved me, but it made her devote her whole life! Her resentment is so profound, she doesn't want you to be like her anymore... Alas! A woman without talent is virtue, she is really good at it!"

The little swallow gulped in her throat, swallowing a mouthful of relief.

The queen was extremely confused, but couldn't catch the handle.

"So, Xiaoyanzi, how did your mother say to you at the time of her death? Apart from the two tokens I handed over to you, are there any other words "when no one whispered in the middle of the night?"

"What's in the middle of the night? What's in the middle of the night..." Xiaoyanzi was dizzy, "When there was no one in the middle of the night, my mother died!" She looked at Qianlong sadly, "Emperor, can I not talk about my mother's death? I...I...I..." The voice trembled, half because of fear and half because of poor skills.

Concubine Ling looked at Xiaoyanzi, then looked at Qianlong, and interrupted tactfully:

"Master! Let's stop asking! Isn't this cruel? Look, Xiaoyanzi is almost crying, why bother torture this child again? She is only eighteen years old and has suffered so much pain. She finally risked her life and walked around the gate of hell before finding her biological father. Now, we have to let her say one by one, remember one by one, not let her hurt again? Isn't her wounds still not too many or deep enough?"

Qianlong was already very heartbroken, and every word of Concubine Ling even hit his heart and immediately said loudly:

"Little Swallow, you don't need to say anything. I have completely believed you and affirmed you! There is no doubt anymore! From now on, no one is allowed to interrogate you anymore. You are the 'My Fair Princess' that I lost and regained!" Then he turned around and shouted, "Concubine Ling!"

"I am here!" Concubine Ling replied loudly.

"Help me teach her well!"

"I obey the order! Within ten days, I will definitely give you a princess with all manners!" Concubine Ling answered strongly, full of confidence, and looked glamorous.

The queen was so angry that she was so angry that she was suspicious of Xiaoyanzi. She knew that this little swallow with unknown origin was full of doubts and absolutely had problems! However, under Qianlong's various protections and self-justification, she was full of helplessness.

Xiaoyanzi knew that she had passed the test and was so proud. She opened her big black and white eyes and couldn't help but glance at the queen in victory.

Ten days later, Concubine Ling took the palace maids to carefully dress up Xiaoyanzi as a "grand princess".
