Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1265 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 188

In May, Qianlong moved into the Old Summer Palace with his harem, and personally went to Changchun Garden with the empress to invite Jiang Xinxin to live in the Old Summer Palace.

Jiang Xinxin refused directly, "My lychee tree is right here, where do you want me to go?"

The Queen quickly advised, "We know that the Empress Dowager is concerned about the lychees. Your Majesty and I do not want the Empress Dowager to keep worrying about them. We just want to invite the Empress Dowager to move to the Old Summer Palace so that our family can reunite."

Qianlong also echoed, "Yes, Empress Dowager. Yonglian and Jingse also miss you."

Jiang Xinxin was unmoved, but she pretended to be shaken, "...These lychee trees need careful management. Whether we can eat lychees in Beijing this year depends on this..."

There was no other way. Although Qianlong was a little sad that his position in Jiang Xinxin's heart was not as good as the lychee tree, he did not intend to embarrass Jiang Xinxin. He could take a step back first: "If the Empress Dowager really misses you, why don't you stay in the Old Summer Palace for half a month?"

Jiang Xinxin was still not satisfied, but she knew that she had to go to Yuanmingyuan, so she could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, but I will only stay for half a month, not even a day more, otherwise I will not return to the palace this year."

Changchun Garden and Yuanmingyuan are connected by water, and a round trip can be made in an hour at a leisurely pace. This time, Qianlong was very anxious to invite Jiang Xinxin to Yuanmingyuan, so he set off after lunch and didn't even need to pack Jiang Xinxin's usual things.

Jiang Xinxin couldn't take such an action lightly, so she couldn't help but catch Qianlong on the boat and ask him about the inside story: "Tell me carefully, what happened recently?!"

Qianlong and the queen looked at each other, and the queen finally spoke up after a moment of frustration: "Madam, there are some things that the emperor cannot make up his mind about..."

To be honest, Jiang Xinxin couldn't figure out what it was that she could do but Qianlong couldn't. Jiang Xinxin traveled from the northeast to Horqin, then from Horqin to Shanhaiguan, and then from Shanhaiguan down the coast, all the way to Myanmar and Siam in the southeast, but she really couldn't make any sense.

Jiang Xinxin could only guess, "Is it a harem affair or a major event of the previous dynasty? Or is it something strange that happened in the royal family?"

The Queen was speechless, while Qianlong looked from nose to heart, and it was obvious that he was not distracted, but felt guilty.

Jiang Xinxin really regretted getting on this boat and stood up to walk out.

Qianlong was startled and quickly stood up to stop Jiang Xinxin, "Mother, please help your son this time."

The queen also stood up and followed Qianlong. Jiang Xinxin turned back to look at Qianlong with a sullen face. Qianlong's eyes dodged and he finally lowered his head. However, the words he said were full of persistence: "Empress Mother, I am really at my wit's end..."

Jianqiu was so angry that her chest was heaving, and it was obvious that she was trying her best. Jiang Xinxin shook off Qianlong's hand, stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the sparkling lake. This should have been a very peaceful scene, but it was ruined by that inhuman dog Qianlong!

Although Jiang Xinxin no longer remembers the so-called Daru's plot, she vaguely remembers that when Zhalong faced Nianhulu Zhen Huan, he definitely did not act as aggressively as he did in front of her.

Jiang Xinxin thought unhappily that she had indeed been too kind to others, which made Qianlong dare to make things difficult for her and plot against her whenever something happened.

Jianqiu now really regarded Qianlong as an enemy, and she hated herself for being soft-hearted towards Qianlong. As long as she thought about how she had caused trouble for Jiang Xinxin for the ungrateful Qianlong, she wanted to go back to the past and stab the obsessed self to death.

They were outside, guarded by guards. Even if Qianlong and the empress followed them out, they dared not say anything. After all, the guards around him were either his confidants from the Eight Banners families or closely related royal family members. If any news that was unfavorable to Jiang Xinxin got out, it would at least lead to impeachment from all the civil and military officials in the court.

Jiang Xinxin didn't plan to jump into the lake, but she also didn't plan to take the road to the Old Summer Palace, so after the boat docked, she didn't move to get on the boat, but signaled the Queen and Qianlong to go first.

Qianlong obediently went ashore before Jiang Xinxin, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Jiang Xinxin, wanting to support her, but Jiang Xinxin did not move and continued to signal the queen to go ashore.

The queen didn't dare to walk in front of Jiang Xinxin, and said softly, "My queen, let your daughter-in-law support you."

Jiang Xinxin took a step back and signaled Jianqiu to move. Jianqiu immediately stepped forward to support the queen and said with a smile: "Queen, let me help you get ashore first."

After saying this, Jianqiu didn't care whether the Queen agreed or not, and pushed the Queen ashore directly, then quickly returned to the boat. Then, she got tired of the pedals and quickly ordered people to turn around and go back to Changchun Garden.

The Queen didn't expect Jiang Xinxin to be such a scoundrel. Qianlong did think of it, but the Queen was pushed directly into his arms by Jianqiu, and he couldn't push the Queen out in public.

The eunuchs and guards rowing the boat were all Qianlong's men. They might not necessarily obey Jiang Xinxin's orders. Besides, Qianlong was the one who controlled their future. So the boat stayed motionless at the dock, and Qianlong jumped onto the boat.

Qianlong's action caused a burst of exclamations from the people around him, but Jiang Xinxin turned back to the inner room, showing weakness first.

As I said, Qianlong is not the previous emperor, and he is even more cruel than the previous emperor. In the past, he seemed to have some admiration for Jiang Xinxin, but as he gradually centralized power, this admiration would not necessarily disappear, but would gradually fade.

Jiang Xinxin just felt it was boring. Qianlong was still somewhat sympathetic. He escorted her and Jianqiu all the way back to Changchun Garden. He didn't mention anything he wanted to say, and Jiang Xinxin didn't even glance at him.

At night, Jiang Xinxin took out the inheritance distribution document she had written when she was with Dapangju. There were some traces of erasures and additions on it, which were all deleted and added as things changed.

Jiang Xinxin checked it carefully and found that there was nothing to change, so she asked Jianqiu to send a copy to Concubine Jinggui and asked her to keep it, and asked Huichun to send a copy to Concubine Huanggui and asked her to keep a copy.

Keep the last one for yourself.

Lying in bed at night, Jianqiu was on duty on the chaise longue under the window not far away, but her heart was gradually sinking to the bottom of her heart.

What happened today was too sudden yet seemed to be within everyone's expectations. Jianqiu's only worry was that the bad idea in her mind would become a reality.

Jiang Xinxin lay on the bed, trying her best to perceive this world. After discovering that her life and death no longer had any impact on the survival of this world, she decided to leave this world.
