Even Apei had to say that Qi Liangdi is a character.
A person with great ability is a person; but if the ability is not great, she will use all means to fight for it, lowering her status in exchange for unequal benefits. Looking at the future, she is also a person, and she is very ambitious.
However, people with great ambitions must have great abilities to match them. Such means and tricks can be used for a while, but they cannot be relied on for a lifetime.
If they were placed in the harem to compete for favor, it would be fine, Ape thought so, but it was a pity that the East Palace was not a harem.
In this way, they could meet the prince occasionally when they got up every morning to say hello, but the prince's attitude towards them never changed, not even a glance.
A few days later, Hong Lingling became a little disheartened, but Qi Baixing still showed tenacity and continued to greet him every day and stay in Zhanyueju as long as possible.
On this day, she also proposed to deliver lunch to the emperor's grandson and the eldest son at noon. She wanted to win the emperor's grandson's favor. As long as his highness thought that she could win the emperor's grandson's favor, he would look at her differently.
Leng Xiao could let her stay in Zhanyue Residence, but he would never allow her to come into contact with Little Turtle Egg and Tian En, so Qi Baixing had no choice but to give up.
But Hong Lingling noticed her thoughts and felt that this was really a good way to get close to His Highness. Qi Baixing was humble and had to ask the Crown Princess before going, so she could just go without asking.
She ordered people to observe for two days and found that the emperor's grandson and the eldest son were allowed to play freely for half an hour after taking a nap at the end of the day. They usually played in the garden outside the study, and because it was clear that no one was allowed to go to her house. Nearby, there were only four maids accompanied by flowers.
And she learned that among the four maids, two would prepare refreshments while they were playing, and one would prepare the Four Treasures of the Study for them for the afternoon class. Only one maid would watch them play freely. Hong Lingling asked the people in the palace to prepare exquisite snacks, and she went to pick up the emperor's grandson in person with two rough envoys and women. At this time, Ming Wudao was taking a nap. Ming Wudao had previously ordered that no one in the East Palace could enter the vicinity of the study at will, so there was no one guarding the study door.
When they arrived at the small garden, Hong Lingling asked her mother-in-law to talk to Ah Tuan who was watching them play. After diverting Ah Tuan's attention, another woman blew a little powder in front of Ah Tuan. Ah Tuan unpreparedly inhaled the powder. Then he fell to the ground.
After Ah Tuan fell, the mother-in-law quickly dragged her away. Hong Lingling undressed and went to tell Little Guitan: "Your Majesty, your eldest son, the Crown Princess asked me to take you back."
Hong Lingling's face was filled with a gentle smile, and she looked very kind.
In the past few days, they came to Zhanyue Residence to pay their respects. Xiaoguidan and Tianen had met them. The child didn't know so many things about adults. Seeing that she was always coming in and out of Zhanyue Residence and talking to her mother, she felt that she was one of their own.
It was even said that her mother had asked her to pick her up, and she did not doubt that he was there. The two brothers held hands and left with Hong Lingling.
When Ah Hua came out of the kitchen, she saw Ah Tuan lying on the ground, but the emperor's grandson and the eldest son were nowhere to be seen. She was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted, called A Jin and Ah Cu out, and asked them to go find the emperor's grandson and report to the prince. Concubine, she dragged A Tuan into the house and patted her a few times before waking her up, but fortunately she was breathing. A Hua was worried about the emperor's grandson and the eldest son, so she ignored her and ran out to look for her.
When Leng Xiao heard the report, he immediately thought that it was Qi Baixing or Hong Lingling who caused the trouble, because the East Palace was guarded by Qinglong guards and ordinary people could not enter.
And the person who could take away Little Turtle Egg and Si Nian in the East Palace without arousing the vigilance of Qinglong Guard must be someone who lives in the East Palace.
Apei called Qinglong Guard to ask, and sure enough, someone saw Hong Lingling taking the emperor's grandson and the eldest son away in person.
