"aunt!"
It's a hot summer day, and it's been dry these days without even a breath of wind. On the green tiles of the Forbidden City, a group of white cranes stood on the eaves, taking a nap leisurely.
Suddenly there was a cry in the house, and the white crane was frightened and flapped its wings and flew away.
However, intermittent crying sounds came from the inner window.
Inside the inner room, Rong Qi was kneeling on the ground, lying on the lap of the Empress Dowager, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Aunt, you have to make the decision for me."
Rong Qi cried extremely sadly, with big tears falling down.
Her eyes were red, and she looked at the Empress Dowager in front of her with grievance: "My cousin deliberately targeted me and made me stand at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity for a whole night. Aunt, you have to make a decision for Qi'er, aunt."
Rong Qi cried so sadly that tears never stopped flowing from her eyes since she entered the room.
The Empress Dowager's Buddhist robes were all wet.
The Queen Mother stroked the Buddhist beads with one hand, while the other hand was placed on Rong Qi's head.
"What nonsense! Your Majesty simply forgot about it. It was not intentional."
Different from her indifference towards Concubine Rong, the empress dowager showed a loving expression towards her niece.
The Queen Mother was from the Rong family, but she was just like anyone else in the Rong family.
She disliked Concubine Rong, but was full of tenderness towards her niece who became her later husband.
"Okay, stop crying. My clothes are all wet with your tears." The Queen Mother pulled Rong Qi up and said, "I can hear that you are blaming your cousin, the Emperor."
"You have liked your cousin the Emperor for so long, are you going to give up just for this?"
The Queen Mother's voice was tinged with joking.
He looked at Rong Qi with an inquiring look, and Rong Qi obviously didn't dare to cry anymore.
"Aunt...Aunt, why do you say that..." Rong Qi quickly lowered her head.
Looking at the Empress Dowager, his eyes were full of embarrassment.
Her secret love for her cousin the emperor was discovered by her aunt.
Rong Qi instantly became bashful and coquettishly said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt!"
"How could Qi'er bear to blame her cousin the emperor?" Rong Qi was still angry when she came in the morning.
But if I really want to be angry, I can't get angry.
Maybe the emperor cousin really forgot.
If you are so busy every day, you will feel tired. It is also okay to forget about it occasionally.
"How could I bear to blame my cousin?" Rong Qi burst into tears and knocked her head on the Queen Mother's knees.
She spoke cautiously, but with a flattering tone: "Qi'er thinks that the emperor cousin didn't do it on purpose. Someone must have asked the emperor cousin to do it."
How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
She had just come out of the Hehuan Palace when the Emperor treated her like this at night.
Rong Qi knew it clearly in his heart.
Last night, His Majesty asked them to go to Hehuan Palace before leaving. It must be that Concubine Shen said something that made the Emperor's cousin treat her like this!
Rong Qi gnashed his teeth in hatred.
The hands in the sleeves couldn't help but tighten.
Concubine Shen is really shameless. She even does such a thing as making accusations behind someone's back!
The Queen Mother understood her hidden meaning, and she placed her palm on the back of her head and patted it: "Do you think someone has reported you behind your back?"
"Qi'er would never think so." Rong Qi's heart tightened and he quickly raised his head.
"Aunt, please don't wrongly accuse me. If my cousin the emperor wrongs Qi'er, then I will also wrong Qi'er..."
Rong Qi was very sad, and raised her eyes to cry again: "Then Qi'er really won't be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth."
Seeing the corners of Rong Qi's eyes drooping, she was about to cry again.
The Queen Mother's voice sank: "Okay."
She turned around and motioned for Madam Hu to come forward and take the person away: "I made some new clothes for you, go and see if you like them."
Rong Qi stopped crying immediately.
She put down her hands that were wiping her tears and quickly said to the Queen Mother, "Thank you, Auntie."
