Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining has accompanied Pang Xiao until today. Although she never thought about the glory and wealth she could achieve in the future, she never thought about being a queen from the beginning to the end. Instead of sitting in that high position, she went from one thrilling journey to the other. Intriguing, she hopes to enjoy the leisurely life of Ma Fang Nanshan with Pang Xiao.

But she also understood very early on that they had reached this point, and it was not something they could do whatever they wanted. Besides, man, who doesn’t have the desire to dominate the world?

Now, all Pang Xiao's efforts have paid off, and Qin Yining is happy for him.

Along the way, they have sacrificed too much.

"Princess, are you still stunned?" Seeing Qin Yining start to freeze, Ji Yun couldn't help but smile and wave his hand in front of her face, and whispered: "Can you prepare quickly?"

Qin Yining came back to his senses and asked, "Have you gone to inform the old lady and them?"

"Already told." Qin Yining called Zi Yuan and others to come in to help tidy up. While helping Qin Yining coax the children to get up and let the wet nurses take them to change clothes, Qin Yining whispered: "When the old lady heard the news , I fainted with excitement on the spot, but woke up again in the middle of my breath, and laughed several times in the yard, and I just called myself the Queen Mother."

Qin Yining nodded and did not comment on Yao's reaction.

The family was ready in the evening, and Qin Huaiyuan, Sun, Zheng and others naturally accompanied them into the palace.

The palace had been cleaned up during this period, Qin Yining was directly arranged to live in Kunning Palace, while Yao and his party went to Ci'an Palace.

In the past, Qin Yining came to Kunning Palace to pay tribute to the queen. Nowadays, things have changed, but Kunning Palace is still the same as before, with carved corridors, painted buildings and gorgeous furnishings.

After moving into a brand new place, Qin Yining couldn't help but frown slightly. Even though he had accepted the reality, the resistance in his heart could not be completely let go in a moment.

Qin Huaiyuan and his entourage were all placed in the side hall of Kunning Palace. The palace people were all cautious, hunched over, doing things briskly and quickly, and did not dare to take the initiative to talk to them.

Qin Huaiyuan, Sun Shi, and Cao Yuqing went to the main hall as soon as they settled in.

Jiyun, Bingtang, Ziyuan, and Hanxiao were all instructing the palace people to do things. The room was obviously noisy, but Qin Yining was sitting on the side seat next to the main seat, looking thin and lonely.

Qin Huaiyuan paused slightly, and Cao Yuqing also frowned worriedly. Sun didn't think too much and looked around with one eye.

"Sister Yi, this palace is too big. I don't know if it will be deserted or not in the future."

Qin Yining was shocked by Sun's words and came back to her senses. She stood up with a smile and took Sun's hand, "Mother is here." Seeing Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing, he saluted again and said, "I was distracted just now, but unexpectedly I did not notice."

The palace people in the room immediately became nervous. They were afraid that the new queen who would "take office" tomorrow would blame them for not reporting the matter in time. In fact, this was the time when they were anxious and unsure of their master's temper.

Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand and sat down casually opposite Qin Yining: "They are all members of the family, so they will do nothing with those false gifts."

Qin Yining asked the whole family to sit down and asked Jiyun to prepare hot tea.

"Where are the children?" Mrs. Sun took a sip of tea and smacked the taste: "Why do you think the tea in the palace is better than the tea at home?"

"The wet nurse is taking the baby with her." Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh, "That's the tea we brought from the palace."

Mrs. Sun didn't believe in evil, so she took another bite, smacked her lips and said, "Maybe my mood is different. My son is going to be the queen, and as a mother, I feel happy."

Qin Yining smiled, "What's so funny about this."

"You don't understand, isn't this the highest honor in a woman's life?"

Qin Yining was startled, then smiled. What Ms. Sun said is right. Which woman in this world would think that the Queen is not noble? Women are inseparable from the fate of getting married. After getting married, they fight in the inner circle of the house. At most, they can only make decisions within the family. She may really be enviable now.

Seeing that Qin Yining was not in high spirits, Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the abdication ceremony. Have you thought about how to deal with some people and things after that?"

Mrs. Sun didn't understand. She knew they were talking about serious matters, so she didn't say much.

Qin Yining immediately understood who Qin Huaiyuan was talking about.

After "Zhou Lian" abdicated, where did the former prince go?

As her jade-like fingertips glanced at the black paulownia wood tabletop, Qin Yining slowly made some calculations in her heart.

The family had dinner in Kunning Palace. Pang Xiao was probably busy and did not show up.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Qin Yining suddenly remembered that this was already in the palace. The emperor would not spend the night in the palace of his concubines. In the future, when the harem is enriched, there will be many thin and fat beauties taking turns to serve her, and she wants to see Pang Pang Xiao can't be seen at any time. It depends on whether Pang Xiao has time and whether he is willing.

When Qin Yining thought about it, the depression that had just subsided after having dinner with the family reappeared inexplicably. Before her harem life even began, she was already feeling dull and out of breath.

The palace lanterns were hung high, and Bingtang and Jiyun brought silk lanterns.

The chamberlain and the maid went outside the palace, and there were only three people left in the palace.

Ruoda's Kunning Palace was so quiet that one could hear the whistling sound of the north wind. Qin Yining leaned against the large red pillow and patted the edge of the heated kang near the window.

"You all sit down too, there are no outsiders here."

Ji Yun and Bingtang looked at each other and wanted to refuse, but Qin Yining's melancholy was unknown to others. The two of them were serving closely, and they were the ones who knew Qin Yining best. How could they not understand? To avoid making her even more unhappy, she sat down sideways as instructed.

"Where are the children?"

"Princess, the children have all gone to the old lady's place. Boss Qiu didn't bring brother Yan in. Brother Zhao and Brother Han are still thinking about brother Yan, so they are not very happy today."

The matter of the children made Qin Yining relax a little, "Their relationship is very good."

"Yes, the prince and Mr. Mu have a good relationship, and the brother and brother Yan naturally have a good relationship."

After a few words, the atmosphere became more lively, and the air seemed less stagnant.

Qin Yining sighed and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, feeling a little uninterested.

"Get ready to take a bath and go to bed early later. There are still things to do tomorrow."

"Yes." The two immediately went to order someone to prepare hot water.

After Qin Yining took a shower, she wiped her long hair half dry, then changed into a pair of snow-white pajamas and went to the inner room.

Bingtang asked worriedly: "Princess, don't you wait for the prince?"

"Maybe he's busy, so there's no need to wait." Qin Yining smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the warm Tang Pozi under the quilt, and said with relief, "You have to get used to it early, he will be busier and busier in the future. , according to the rules in the palace, there is no such thing as 'come back and rest'. In the future, I can save myself the trouble of waiting for him to come home."

Bingtang's nose felt sour when she heard this, and she almost shed tears.

The princess has sacrificed so much for the prince along the way, tested many times on the edge of life and death, and walked through the gates of hell many times. Did she end up with this loneliness in the palace in the end?

Just as she was about to speak, Ji Yun took her hand and shook her head.

After Qin Yining lay down, he pulled up the quilt and said with a smile: "When the big things are over, I will ask you to prepare for the wedding. In the past, I thought about preparing a house and a dowry for you, so that you could marry happily. In the future, I will prepare for you. Come back to me and be a housewife, and the three of us will be together forever. Now Huzi and Tang Xiuxu have their own futures. You two will be high-class wives in the future. You can only come to the palace when you have the opportunity. . Fortunately, there are always many people in this palace..."

Bingtang's tears finally fell, and she rushed up to hold Qin Yining's hand: "Miss, I, I will not marry anymore. I will always be with you in the future. There will be more people in this palace in the future. As long as I am here, you can After recuperating your body, I can research more poisons that are colorless and odorless so that no one can see the flaws. If anyone dares to have bad intentions towards you, we will poison her to death!"

Qin Yining sat up dumbfounded, holding Bingtang's hand: "You silly girl, if you refuse to marry just for this, why won't Hu Zi come to hang himself at my door?"

Bingtang was crying sadly, but she choked up after hearing these words and almost lost her power.

Ji Yun lowered his head and wiped his tears, "I don't want to be an official's wife in the future, I just want to follow you."

The loneliness of this deep palace was originally a new and unfamiliar environment. There would be no one around him that he could trust, and even the love he had given sincerely had changed. Qin Yining would be so helpless when he was trapped in this deep palace alone. ?

Jiyun sat down on the other side of Babu's bed and put his white hand on Qin Yining's and Bingtang's hands.

"Whether Tang Xiu is good or bad, it has nothing to do with me. He has his own future, and I have my place to go. In this world, you don't have to get married if you have feelings. Once you get married, everything may change. It's better to keep everything in the best stage, so as to give each other a good memory, and don't make each other look hateful in the end."

Ji Yun smiled and said, "Miss, I'm serious. I won't get married. I will stay with you from now on. I have skills in my body. If anyone dares to have a wrong idea, I won't poison her with rock sugar. I'll kill her first!" "

Bingtang nodded repeatedly: "If Huzi wants to hang himself, let him hang himself. He looks careless, but he is actually the most promising. I don't believe he can seek death and live for a little girl. Man, that's the same thing, for the rest of his life Not getting married is actually happiness. Miss, it’s settled, we will follow you from now on.”

Qin Yining shook her head. She didn't want to cry originally, but at this moment, she couldn't hold back after all. When she lowered her eyes, a few crystal drops fell on her front.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When I am the queen, can you refuse to listen to me when I propose marriage to you? Okay. Don't think nonsense. You have been following me for the past few years and you have already become an old girl. I can't let your life be unfulfilled. Complete. There is no need to mention this again in the future.”

"Miss……"

The three of them were talking in the bedroom.

Outside the main hall door separated by a wall, Pang Xiao stood in front of the door with his hands behind his hands. The servants and palace attendants behind him knelt down in fear.
