When Jiang Yun and the Emperor walked outside, it became clear that while inside, Jiang Yun could disregard the Emperor's dignity, but outside, he had to show him respect.
At this moment, the Empress suggested to the Emperor that Jiang Yun accompany the Empress Dowager to the Summer Palace for further studies.
The reason was that Jiang Yun was the Crown Prince, and Jiang Yun naturally agreed to the trip, not only for the Empress Dowager.
And then there's Qing'er and that Empress. Jiang Yun really needs to teach the Empress a lesson.
Jiang Yun even went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but Consort Ling, the Empress, and Emperor Qianlong also went.
The Empress, of course, came to complain to the Empress Dowager. The Empress arrived at the Empress Dowager's side.
At this moment, the curtain was drawn back, and Jiang Yun finally saw what the Empress Dowager looked like.
Jiang Yun secretly raised her head and looked at the old Buddha not far in front of her. By the light of the moon and the dim candlelight, Jiang Yun could see the old Buddha's appearance clearly.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun gasped in shock. How could the Empress Dowager be so young? She looked only forty-eight or forty-nine years old. She didn't look like the mother of Emperor Qianlong at all.
Rumors circulated that the Empress Dowager was not Emperor Qianlong's biological mother, and whether this was true or not is unknown, but it is an undeniable fact that the Empress Dowager in front of him looked young.
Standing beside the Empress Dowager, the clever and mischievous Qing'er noticed Jiang Yun's furtive gaze. Qing'er giggled and winked at Jiang Yun a few times, smiling playfully.
At this moment, Qing'er was wearing a pink jumpsuit, which accentuated her slender and curvaceous figure, and she looked charming and alluring.
Jiang Yun's heart was pounding, and she secretly winked at Qing'er a few times, thinking to herself, "Little girl, I'll have some fun with you when I get the chance."
At this moment, the Empress Dowager cleared her throat and said sternly, "Tell me, what exactly happened today?"
"It's the eldest prince. He's a bit unruly. Even though he's already the crown prince, he's still so disrespectful. I beg Mother to revoke the eldest prince's title of crown prince!"
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Only the Empress remained arrogant, puffing out her chest and glancing disdainfully at Consort Ling and Jiang Yun.
According to official history, the Empress Dowager was the Empress's aunt. Without the Empress Dowager's strong support, the Empress would never have become Empress. Therefore, everyone was afraid of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress was not.
Hearing the Empress Dowager's questions and the Empress's explanation, Jiang Yun remained completely calm, because she still had the Emperor as her trump card.
The emperor will definitely listen to Jiang Yun, and everything will develop in a way that benefits Jiang Yun.
"Your Majesty, it's understandable that children don't know any better. Please don't be so unreasonable!" Consort Ling said.
After all, she was Jiang Yun's woman, but the Empress Dowager saw someone else entirely.
That was Xia Yuhe. Jiang Yun brought Xia Yuhe along this time, and the Empress Dowager was surprised to see that Jiang Yun's concubine was actually a Han woman.
Have we forgotten that intermarriage between Manchus and Han Chinese is forbidden? This is a rule passed down from our ancestors!
