The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

After the four of them left, Hanxiang started chatting with the old Buddha. She asked curiously:

"Mother, has Qing'er chosen a date?"

When the old lady heard Qing'er mentioned, she smiled and said

"It's settled, on the eighth day of September! Now the invitation period has passed, so we just have to wait for the wedding. Fu Zheng is so impatient that he came to propose marriage the day after the marriage was granted."

Hanxiang couldn't help laughing after hearing this and joked

"It seems that he really likes Qing'er! Then Qing'er will definitely be happy if she marries him."

The old man nodded with satisfaction

“Yes, Qing’er is a good child, I believe Fu Zheng will treat her well.

Moreover, they are of similar age and grew up together, so they have a deep relationship. They will definitely support each other and grow old together!"

Hanxiang continued

"This way, my mother can rest assured.

After Qing'er gets married and the two little ones grow up a little, let them come to Cining Palace to accompany you often, so that you won't be bored alone."

The old Buddha looked at Hanxiang with satisfaction and smiled.

"Luckily you are here, so mother won't be bored anymore! From now on, let Mujun and Caixi live in Cining Palace permanently. Mother has already asked someone to clean up their rooms"!

Hanxiang was slightly surprised.

"Mother really dotes on them too much. She's not afraid that they will tear down the Cining Palace!"

The old man waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile

"They are just two little kids. If the Cining Palace is demolished, then so be it. At worst, my mother can just live somewhere else.

As long as they are happy, they can do whatever they want."

Hanxiang changed the subject because it was no longer possible to continue the conversation.

She turned to ask Mr. Buddha: "Where is Qing'er? Why can't I see her?"

The old man looked at the room and answered with a smile.

"She is embroidering a wedding dress! She said that the wedding dress she embroidered is more meaningful, so she doesn't even go out now."

When Hanxiang heard this, she could no longer sit still and said excitedly

"I'm going to go see her and see if she dares to laugh at me again! Now it's my turn to laugh at her."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to walk towards Qing'er's room.

The old Buddha looked at Hanxiang's departing back, smiled helplessly, and said

"You are really a person who is unwilling to suffer any loss. You two are really the same as each other"!

When Hanxiang heard what the old Buddha said, she turned around, made a naughty face at him, and then quickly ran out.

The old Buddha looked at Hanxiang with a kind smile on his face, and murmured to himself:

"You're already a mother, but you're becoming more and more like a child, always bickering with Qing'er."

Emperor Qianlong smiled and looked at Hanxiang affectionately, his eyes full of love, and said without disguising

"My son likes Xiang'er's current appearance. I hope I can always spoil her like a child and let her be inseparable from me forever."

The Empress Dowager was speechless when she saw Qianlong's current appearance. She never thought that she had given birth to a romantic boy. She didn't know who he took after. However, she was also happy for his current appearance.

Hanxiang gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in. She saw Qing'er concentrating on embroidery and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Hanxiang deliberately slowed down her steps, walked behind Qing'er, and suddenly reached out and patted her shoulder.

Qing Er was startled and turned around abruptly. When she found out it was Han Xiang, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hanxiang, why don't you make any sound when you walk? You really scared me."

Hanxiang smiled and said: "When I looked at you, you were not scared by me, but thought Fu Zheng came"!

Qing Er blushed with shame and said angrily

"You make fun of me as soon as you come in. Only the emperor can control a naughty boy like you."

Hanxiang was not to be outdone and retorted

"You are still talking about me. Only General Fu can control a little hot pepper like you!"

The two began to bicker with each other, but they didn't stop working at all.

When Hanxiang saw Qing'er embroidering a wedding dress, she took the initiative to help embroider the mandarin ducks on the red veil.

The two chatted while busy with their work. Hanxiang asked curiously: "How is Dong E? Does she seem easy to get along with?"

Qing Er replied

"Fujin is a very kind person, she treats me like her own daughter.

Don't worry, I have the support of Lord Buddha and you, no one dares to bully me."

Hanxiang then smiled with relief.

“That’s good, if the Fu family treats you badly, tell me and I will support you.

As long as you are doing well, my mother and I will be relieved."

On the way back, Hanxiang suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Qianlong and asked

"Husband, do you want me to help embroider Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's wedding dresses?

Ziwei is fine, but Xiaoyanzi knows nothing about embroidery, which is really worrying!"

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang's serious expression and couldn't help but frowned and said disapprovingly

"Baby, you've just gotten better, so don't worry about them.

Their wedding dresses are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and your husband would not want you to suffer through this."

Hanxiang felt warm in her heart when she heard Qianlong's words, but she was still a little worried: "But..."

Qianlong interrupted her, gently touched her head and said

"No buts. My husband knows that you are kind, but you also have to take care of your health. You have just gotten better, so you can't overwork yourself."

Hanxiang nodded helplessly and could only give up the idea. She thought to herself that she would have to instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs later and ask them to prepare Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's wedding dresses well and make sure there were no mistakes.

When they returned to Baoyue Tower, Hanxiang was surprised to find Ziwei sitting in the hall waiting, looking outside from time to time.

Hanxiang walked forward and asked in confusion: "Ziwei, what are you waiting for here for?"

Ziwei saw Hanxiang coming back, stood up, took her hand and said

"I would like to ask you for a favor and let Jinsuo leave the palace. She and Liu Qing are in love with each other, and I want her to leave the palace to prepare for her marriage."

Hanxiang turned to look at Jinsuo, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"This is a good thing. Okay, I will prepare a dowry for Jinsuo as a token of my appreciation."

She smiled, and her tone revealed her blessing and care for Jinsuo.

Ziwei looked at Hanxiang gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes

"Thank you, Hanxiang. Normally, a palace maid cannot leave the palace before she is 25 years old."

Her heart was filled with gratitude towards Hanxiang and she knew how precious this friendship was.

Hanxiang shook her head lightly and said indifferently

"There are not so many rules in the palace now. Besides, Jinsuo is yours, so you can make the decision."

She understands the deep feelings between Ziwei and Jinsuo and is willing to respect their choices.

Jinsuo bowed to Qianlong and Hanxiang, with reluctance and gratitude in her eyes.

Hanxiang looked at Ziwei and asked with concern

"But you won't be used to it after Jinsuo leaves the palace, right? I'll ask Nanny Kang to prepare two palace maids for you so that it will be convenient for them to serve you."

She knew that life would be different after losing Jinsuo, but she hoped to give Ziwei some help.

Hanxiang called Aunt Kang and told her

"Mammy, you are an old hand in the palace, and you know all the ins and outs of the palace servants. Just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pick a few people, and let Princess Ziwei choose two who she likes and bring them back to Shufangzhai"!

Nanny Kang nodded and said that she would select a suitable palace maid.

Hanxiang looked at Jinsuo again and said softly

"Jinsuo, wait until Princess Ziwei has selected these two palace maids and then you will be the one to teach them. You can leave the palace after they know Ziwei's preferences. It should be in time, right?"

Jinsuo replied respectfully: "I obey your command. Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration."

She understood Hanxiang's good intentions and decided to teach the new palace maids well and ensure that they could take good care of Ziwei.

Hanxiang smiled slightly.

"It's just a piece of cake. Madam Kang will pick a few palace maids to come over later. You can choose two that you like and bring them back to Shufangzhai.

Let Jinsuo leave the palace after they understand your habits, so that you won't be uncomfortable by then."

Ziwei nodded slightly to show her agreement. When Nanny Kang brought a few maids over, Ziwei selected two of them, thanked Hanxiang, and took them back to Shufangzhai.
