"When Er Qing's father, Ah Lin, was studying in Jiangnan in his early years, he fell in love with a Jiangnan woman called Wan Qin, but he didn't know that his mother had already arranged a marriage for him … later, it's disgusting to talk about it."

Ah Lin couldn't refuse his father, but he also couldn't bear to part with his sweetheart, so he married both of them.

Not long after, both of them gave birth to a daughter, but there was a difference between di and shu. Wan Qin began to be jealous that the legal wife was not liked by Ah Lin and had a better life than her.

But because there were elders watching, Wan Qin didn't succeed until the di daughter left the capital to play.

Wan Qin seized this opportunity to create a story about the death of the di daughter, and announced that the one who died was a concubine's daughter.

As a result, Er Qing changed from a concubine's daughter to a di daughter.

Ah Lin's wife was originally ill, but after Wan Qin personally told her this news, she was angered to death.

Lai Bao originally wanted to bring Wan Qin to justice, but Ah Lin begged, so this scandal was suppressed.

But after this incident, Lai Bao, who originally doted on Ah Lin, became a lot more indifferent to Ah Lin, and gave his connections to Ah Lin's second brother, causing Ah Lin's official career to stagnate.

Seeing that Ah Lin was useless, Tian Di Hui's people turned their attention to Er Qing.

Even if they couldn't immediately reach The Emperor's side, at least they would be very close.

"Before Gao Ningxin left the palace, she said that the Xitara family had secretly replaced Wanqin. She said that Wanqin had killed the first wife and the first wife's daughter. She replaced the position of the first wife and let Er Qing enter the palace as the first wife's daughter …"

The Empress hesitated again and again, but still didn't speak.

If this was the case, The Emperor didn't need to throw Er Qing into a manor on the outskirts of the capital and strictly guard her.

There must be something more serious than she thought.

"Wan Qin is a member of Tian Di Hui.

Zhen ordered people to check again and again, and that gang of thieves has already infiltrated many of the capital's officials' homes. "

The worst was a servant girl, and the best had already become a favored concubine.

Their purpose, in addition to gathering information for Tian Di Hui, was to accumulate power, and when the time came, they could cause great damage to the imperial court.

"Back then, Yonglian's typhoid fever wasn't entirely caused by the Gao family. The Gao family only left a crack in the window. The dirty thing in the soup was from someone else!"

At that time, only Er Qing, who was the Empress's chief palace maid, had access to Yonglian's decoction.

Even the Empress's side had been nailed. Qianlong still felt scared when he thought about it.

The handkerchief in the Empress' hand was torn because of her nervousness. Qianlong hurriedly held the Empress in his arms and comforted her, "Yung Yin, don't be afraid. Er Qing has already confessed everything. Zhen's people are now impersonating Er Qing and waiting for Tian Di Hui to contact us. When the time comes, we will follow the vine to find the melon and capture the thief in one fell swoop!"

After working hard for so many years and earning so much money, it was time for him to go on a tour of the south.

Even if those people were made of metal, the firearms attached to the poles would still be able to pierce through them!

"What does The Emperor plan to do?"

Although Qianlong really wanted to go on a tour of the south, reason told him that he still had to wait for a while.

"Zhen has to make proper arrangements for the scientists from the west first, and then we can talk about the tour of the south.

Of course, since Zhen cherishes Zhen's life so much, Zhen will definitely not personally go to the wolf's den. "

He had the people from the poles impersonate him, pretending to accidentally walk into Tian Di Hui's territory, and then he would tell the Tian Di Hui people what it felt like to be bitten cold.

When The Emperor finished his preparations, the Empress snuggled up in Qianlong's arms, relieved, and talked about Consort Xian.

Rather than being trapped in the palace and enduring her days, it would be better to let her go out for a walk like Consort Gao.

"Regarding this matter, I have to ask her opinion …"

Qianlong allowed Gao Ningxin to go out to sea with the Gao family, so Gao Ningxin also reciprocated Qianlong's kindness. She kept Watt in suspense, letting him use the method he was good at to do something.

As long as Watt did it, it would be imitated by others.

The more they imitated, the better they would learn.

Gao Ningxin liked to sing, so Watt developed a kind of musical instrument that could be played by controlling the flow of steam.

When Qianlong found out, he covered his forehead. He really wanted to rush over and grab Watt's collar, saying that he didn't expect him to be this kind of Watt!

The Fourth Master saw that Qianlong cared so much about this Watt, so he asked what was so good about this Watt.

When he found out that steam was so useful, the Fourth Master tilted his head, indicating that if Watt didn't cooperate, he could consider educating that Watt.

"Thank you in advance, but Watt's Chinese is not good, so he can't really understand what you're saying. You'll have to trouble yourself."

In the end, Qianlong personally went out and had a cordial and good conversation with Watt.

"Oh, Your Majesty, if you can get Angel Gui Fen-er to agree to use the musical instrument I made for her, then I'll consider cooperating with you."

Watt's attitude was so unbridled that Li Yu wanted to press Watt to the ground and use his weight to make Watt feel what it was like to be a human again.

Gao Ningxin especially despised the musical instrument Watt made. In her own words, it was as if there were dozens of chickens screaming in her ears.

However, in order to get Watt to cooperate with the research on how to improve the steam engine, Qianlong thickened his skin and had a cordial and good conversation with Gao Ningxin.

"Let's put it this way. The sooner Watt can improve the steam engine and install it on the ship, the sooner the Gao family can reduce the time they waste at sea and complete the contract."

When she heard Qianlong say this, Gao Ningxin took a deep breath and decided to endure!

However, she requested that Qianlong keep her identity a secret.

When it came to stubbornness, Qianlong was the best at it.

Therefore, Qianlong held a small banquet in the evening.

Watt happily played the musical instrument he made, and Gao Ningxin sang her signature song, Drunken Imperial Concubine.

Although Gao Ningxin's appearance was very beautiful, when they thought of Watt's musical instrument, they instantly lost the mood to appreciate it. Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to Gao Guifen on the stage.

Even though Gao Ningxin was wearing makeup, Consort Xian still recognized that this Gao Guifen, who had the reputation of being both virtuous and artistic, was the former Consort Gao.

After the banquet ended, Consort Xian immediately caught up with Gao Ningxin.

When Gao Ningxin saw that it was Consort Xian, she gave up on hiding her identity.

"If you also want to leave this golden cage, go talk to The Emperor. The Emperor is very easy to talk to, he will definitely agree."

The Emperor probably wanted all the concubines in the harem to leave except for the Empress.

Watt's little wish was greatly satisfied. He patiently listened to Qianlong's ideas on improving the steam engine, whose English level had drifted past CET-6 and didn't even dare to apply for CET-4.

Watt felt that His Majesty the Emperor was a kindred spirit, so he became more patient.

"Oh, Your Majesty the Emperor, I understand what you want.

The efficiency of using steam has improved a lot, but to support the navigation of ships, this needs a lot of research. "

As long as he was willing to cooperate with the research, he could name any conditions.

Therefore, the topic returned to the marriage that gave Qianlong a headache.

Before Watt could leave, a eunuch came in and said that Consort Xian wanted to see him.

In the past, Qianlong would definitely let Consort Xian wait, but at this moment, Qianlong really hoped that Watt could quickly go back and research on improving the steam engine.

However, even though Consort Xian came in, Watt still didn't want her. He even praised Consort Xian's hairstyle …

In the end, the Fourth Master came out and attached himself to Watt's body to bring Watt back to his residence.

"What business do you have with me?"

Consort Xian explained clearly after kneeling down. Qianlong thought for a long time and finally agreed.

However, he requested that Consort Xian and Consort Gao stay together and return to the Qing dynasty from time to time.

This request wasn't too much, so Consort Xian immediately agreed.

"It's not good to let you die of illness on New Year's Day. Let's talk to your mother first so that she won't be shocked when she hears the news of your death."

Qianlong could be said to be very considerate. Imperial Concubine Xian naturally returned to Chengqian Palace full of thanks.
