The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 266 Road Encounters
Yinzhen entered the palace in the afternoon of that day.

When passing Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen saw the prince coming out from there.

The prince was alone, without even a servant accompanying him.The weather was gloomy, and he was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he looked like he was strolling in the courtyard.

"." Seeing the prince's leisurely look, Yin Zhen suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

What if he wants to rush up and beat him up?
"His Royal Highness." After all, Yinzhen resisted the deepest impulse in his heart, instead, with a smile on his face, he went up and bowed his hands to the prince as a salute.

"Ah, fourth brother." The prince saw Yinzhen with a slightly surprised look on his face.Also with a smile on his face, he asked: "Are you entering the palace to greet Huang Ama?"

"That's really a coincidence. Huang Ama is currently receiving ministers."

The prince put his hands behind his back, even with his umbrella behind his back.He is about the same stature as Yinzhen, and when he looks at Yinzhen at the same level, he has an indescribably approachable feeling.

"Well." Yinzhen just replied indifferently: "Since Huang Ama is not free, I will go to pay my aunt first. It is the same for Huang Ama to let Eunuch Li convey it on her behalf."

"It's good that Huang Ama knows."

Eunuch Li was Li Dequan, the person who served Lord Kangxi personally.

"Fourth brother is really a filial person." The prince smiled half a smile, looked at the sky again, and sighed: "Looking at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain."

"I still have something to do, I will talk to my fourth brother another day."

After the prince said this, he turned around and left with an umbrella.Looking at the direction, it was indeed like returning to Yuqing Palace.

Yinzhen stood there for a while, until the prince's figure became much smaller, and then left.

Tong Guifei's place.

She is sitting in the main hall.In the afternoon Yinzhen sent a message to come to the palace to meet her, so she waited here.

"Looking at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain. The rain in spring is always continuous. I don't know if Yinzhen will be drenched by the rain later?"

Tong Guifei looked at the sky with worry in her eyes.

She is different from her sister, Empress Xiaoyi.Empress Xiaoyi is the proud daughter of heaven, she has been favored since she was a child, and she has an arrogant personality.After entering the palace, for the sake of the Tong family's face, she has always done her part.

When Empress Xiaozhao was around, she would never feel wronged in the slightest.

Except when she was facing Yinzhen, she was so gentle.

Concubine Tong Gui is different, she is a concubine, in fact, she didn't have much communication with her sister since she was a child.Even though Yinzhen was raised under Empress Xiaoyi's lap, she didn't always go to see her.

only…

After all, Concubine Tong watched Yinzhen grow up, and the Tong family did not treat her badly because she was a concubine for many years.She actually... also really likes Yinzhen from the bottom of her heart.

But in the end, it's not that close.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if it rains in spring, it's just light rain. It's okay." The maid was comforting when she saw a figure circling from behind the screen wall in the distance.

"Yeah, Brother Si is here."

Following the maid's words, Concubine Tong stood up immediately and went to the door to pick up Yinzhen.

"Why did my aunt come out?" Seeing Concubine Tong walking out directly, Yinzhen felt a little surprised and said, "It's windy, so Auntie should go inside and rest."

Concubine Tong Gui smiled, she seemed to be in a good mood, and said: "I've been resting in the house all day. For me, it's better to go out for a walk."

After thinking about it, Xu Zhen said, "It's spring, and the weather is getting warmer. It's good to go out for a walk or enjoy the sun. Auntie is in the palace, so you should pay attention to your body."

"It's natural." Tong Guifei thought for a while, and then said: "It's rare today, why did you come into the palace? I remember... the Ministry of Rites should not be Xiu Mu today."

"I was busy until very late in the past few days, and I was allowed to rest for a day when I went to the peak today. I had something to do in the morning, but then...another thing happened."

When Yinzhen said this, his face became much more serious, and he said seriously: "I think it is very necessary to ask your aunt for your opinion on this matter."

Concubine Tong's heart trembled when she heard that, and she asked, "What happened?"

After thinking about it for a while, Yinzhen decided to tell the whole story about himself and Gu Qinghuan.Including... some strange actions of the prince recently.

"aunt."

Yinzhen said: "The prince is not a person who will do meaningless things. His intention to win over the Gu family is obvious, and at the same time he knows something about the relationship between me and her."

"therefore…"

Concubine Tong raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Do you want to marry her as a concubine?"

Concubine Tong Gui was not surprised.Even when Tong Guowei's wife entered the palace several times, she mentioned to Concubine Tong about the relationship between Yinzhen and Tong Jiayue.

She also just vaguely said that she would think about it.

But in fact... Concubine Tong knew early on that Yinzhen's temperament might not get along with Tong Jiayue.After all, she can be regarded as Yinzhen's half-mother, so she is unwilling to force Yinzhen to do so.

Now, it is not surprising to hear that Yinzhen is interested in other girls' families.

"Yeah." Yinzhen responded frankly, thought for a while, and said: "It's just that the Gu family is considered an upstart right now. If this matter is going to happen, Auntie and Huang Amati must mention it."

"I see." Concubine Tong Gui said: "That child, I heard that he stayed in sister's palace before. I think it is not bad to be picked by Yuehua. You can rest assured about this matter." .”

"However, I should also find a chance to meet her."

"This is what it should be." Yinzhen said: "If it is too late, things will change. I am afraid that there will be some action from the prince soon. So..."

He hoped this could be done quickly.

"Okay, okay." Concubine Tong Guifei looked at Yinzhen's eager expression, and seemed to be dubious about these words.After a few more words of relief, Yinzhen was allowed to leave quickly.

Today, it looks like it will rain soon.

At Gu Qinghuan's place, not long after returning to Gu's residence, it really started to rain.

She stood under the eaves, looking at the gloomy sky and the strings of rain curtains in front of her.

"It's rare to see such heavy rain in spring." Thinking about it, Gu Qinghuan glanced at the big willow tree outside.

Wuyue always liked to be there before... Now that it's raining so heavily, he shouldn't be foolishly staying on the tree, right?
...

Wuyue on the willow tree was frowning and thinking about whether he should go back to the fourth elder brother's mansion early, when he suddenly sneezed.

"Ah-"

Wuyue sniffed, and took a serious look into Gu's mansion.

He stared at it for so long, and there was nothing wrong with it.Forget it, he'd better find a roof to shelter from the rain.Since the fourth elder brother gave the order, he should do it well.
