The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

After returning to the palace, Hanxiang went to Shufangzhai, and Yongqi went to the Yangxin Palace to report to Qianlong.

When Hanxiang arrived at Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi was teaching Xiaodengzi and the others how to play dice. Hanxiang said to Xiaoyanzi:

"The Buddha will be back in the next two days, so you'd better behave yourself and don't leave the palace."

Xiaoyanzi exclaimed instantly

"What? Mr. Buddha is coming back? There are still two days left. Then I will go to Huibinlou to help tomorrow."

Hanxiang asked her: "What are you going to do? Make trouble?"

Xiaoyanzi speaks righteously

"I'm going to help them with the decoration. Huibin Hotel is about to open and I want to go to support it."

Hanxiang felt a headache when she saw her

"Think it over carefully. You can't delay your work." Then he went back to Baoyue Tower.

Ziwei listened to Hanxiang's words and suggested to Xiaoyanzi

"Why don't we just stay put and not leave the palace?"

Xiaoyanzi accuses Ziwei

"How can that be possible? Isn't Mr. Buddha going to be back the day after tomorrow? We just need to stay at home the day after tomorrow."

Ziwei was still a little worried but after thinking about it, it made sense. Liu Qing and Liu Hong had helped her a lot so it would be better for her to go.

The Emperor was resting in the Yangxin Palace in the Qianqing Palace. When he saw Yongqi, he called out:

"Are you back? Review the memorials first, and we'll talk later."

Yongqi was furious when he heard this, but he could do nothing about it. He could not kill his father. He took a deep breath and said to Qianlong:

"The imperial concubine was sent to Shili Pavilion, where she stayed for a while before returning to the palace. She didn't meet anyone."

Qianlong smiled with satisfaction

"You have done a good job. I have a reward for you. You can review the memorials. I want to go to Baoyue Tower to see if she is there."

He walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, leaving Yongqi here alone with the memorials.

When Qianlong arrived at Baoyue Tower, he saw Hanxiang coming back, and they went to the second floor together.

Qianlong put his arm around Hanxiang and said, "Are you not unhappy after sending Saiya off?"

Hanxiang smiled

"No, Your Majesty, don't worry. It's good to know that Saya is doing well."

Qianlong saw that she was happy and brought her to the swing here.

"As long as you are happy, I am happy." He pulled her to the swing and let her sit on it and push it herself.

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong

"Let's sit together. Fortunately, this swing is big enough for two people."

Qianlong walked up to sit next to her and rocked slowly. The two of them talked and laughed, and from a distance they looked like a perfect couple. Their relationship had been getting better and better since the last time.

The next day, Xiaoyanzi took Ziwei out of the palace early in the morning, and Yongqi and Erkang followed them to the Huibin Building.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong were decorating the Huibin Building, and Xiaoyanzi walked in: "I'll come and help too."

He flew up to the second floor with a paint bucket and painted the railings.

Vina suddenly walked into the palace and said to Hanxiang

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace and has already reached the city gate."

Hanxiang suddenly became nervous

"How come it's so fast? There's no news at all. Help me get dressed quickly, and tell someone to go to the guest house and ask the princesses to come back quickly."

Just as Hanxiang changed into her Manchu dress, Qianlong came in. Seeing Hanxiang, he stood there in a daze.

She was wearing a brocade cheongsam and a headband on her head. Her outer garment was an exquisitely embroidered pink jacket with exquisite embroidery patterns on the hem, making her look charming and gorgeous.

With a little makeup on her face, she looked like a seductive fairy. Qianlong strode to her and hugged her waist.

"From now on you can only wear Manchu clothing for me, and this will not happen again."

Hanxiang looked at him and asked, "Does it look good?"

Qianlong was happy but worried: "It's so beautiful, I don't want you to go out, just stay in Baoyue Tower and show it to me."

Hanxiang rubbed his face and said

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's go quickly. The Empress Dowager should be almost at the palace gate by now."

She originally planned to let Nanny Kang support her, but Qianlong intercepted her and took her to Shenwu Gate.

The Queen was very happy in Kunning Palace

"Why did the Empress Dowager return to the palace early? Maybe she knew my situation and came here to help me."

Seeing the queen's happy face, Rong Mama quickly agreed

"Your Majesty is the mother of the country, and the Buddha will definitely stand on your side."

He supported the queen and rushed to Shenwu Gate.

In the Huibin Building, Xiaoyanzi was decorating with Qinggong, and Xiaodiaozi ran in in a hurry.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace. She should be almost at the palace gate now. You should go back quickly."

Xiaoyanzi Ziwei was also panicked

"What? Aren't you arriving tomorrow? Why are you back already?"

When Xiaoyanzi heard the news, she accidentally fell from the railing and got paint everywhere, including on her face.

Erkang urged

"Yongqi, please take them both back quickly. I also need to go back to change my clothes. You guys should leave quickly."

He also walked out quickly.

On the road, the little swallow kept urging

"Hurry up, little stool, I need to go back and change my clothes."

The little stool heard it and said, "Huh."

He drove the carriage quickly.

At this time, Qianlong, Hanxiang and all the civil and military officials had arrived at Shenwu Gate. The Queen came over and saw Hanxiang beside Qianlong, and she was stunned where she was.

Hanxiang looked so inferior to herself in the Manchu dress she wore today, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

When Hanxiang saw the queen, she wanted to kneel down and salute, but Qianlong stopped her. Seeing the queen's unhappy expression, he said to Hanxiang gently:

"You don't have to kneel, she can't bear it." He held her hand tightly to prevent her from bowing.

Hanxiang stood there awkwardly and lowered her head: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

He whispered to Qianlong: "Be more restrained, there are so many people here."

The Queen gritted her teeth as she watched the two of them being so affectionate without paying any attention to anyone around them. Thinking of how the Empress Dowager was gloating over Hanxiang's misfortune, she thought to herself, "Let's see how long you can keep laughing."

Think about looking forward.

Qianlong was furious when he saw the Queen's expression and held the hand of the lovely woman beside him tightly, secretly vowing that he would never let her suffer any grievances, not even to the Empress Dowager.

As Qianlong and the Empress had different thoughts, the palace maids began to report. The palace maids reported the news from the moment the Empress Dowager entered the palace.

"The Buddha has arrived."

Every time they passed a place, palace servants would shout.

When the Empress Dowager's carriage arrived at the gate of Shenwu Gate, everyone except Qianlong knelt down to salute, and Hanxiang was no exception.

"Welcome back to the palace, Mr. Buddha, may you be blessed."

The moment the sedan stopped, Qing Er came out to help the old Buddha. When she saw the old Buddha getting off the sedan, Qianlong came over.

"The Empress Dowager has worked hard on the journey. It would be extremely unfilial of my son not to go and greet her in person."

The old Buddha said perfunctorily

"Praying for the Emperor, praying for our Qing Dynasty, no matter how hard it is."

As he spoke, he looked around and finally saw a figure kneeling upright. He was delighted and walked straight over.

Qianlong saw that the old Buddha was heading in the direction of Hanxiang, and thought that the old Buddha wanted to cause trouble for Hanxiang, so he hurriedly called out

"Emperor's Mother".

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the old Buddha and cleared his throat.

"Whose little girl is this, kneeling here? Isn't she afraid of catching a cold?"

Hanxiang froze the moment the old lady opened her mouth. She slowly raised her head and saw the face she had seen a long time ago.

The old man smiled at her, took her up and touched her face.

"Don't you recognize me? You didn't even call me."

Hanxiang opened her mouth and called out, "Old Buddha." He couldn't help but throw himself into her arms.

The old man patted her shoulder lovingly.

"After you left three years ago, I have been thinking about you day and night. Today I finally see you again. Sleep with me tonight and we can have a good talk."

Hanxiang was about to nod when Qianlong interrupted her.

"Empress Mother, you competed with me for Hanxiang as soon as you returned to the palace, and when did you first get to know Hanxiang?"

The Buddha explained the doubts of Emperor Qianlong

"Three years ago in the winter, she got separated from her entourage and came to Mount Wutai. That was the first time I saw her. She stayed in Mount Wutai for half a month."

Hanxiang also misses those days

"When Mr. Buddha saw that I was blocked by the snow, he stopped me and wouldn't let me go down the mountain. Then I listened to you talk about Buddhist scriptures every day. I learned to read at that time."

Mr. Lafayette smiled and tapped her little nose

"You are a good and insightful child, but your Chinese character writing was not very good at the beginning."

Hanxiang replied with a smile

"It's not just bad, it's really ugly."

She threw herself into the arms of Mr. Buddha again.

The Queen and Madam Rong looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. It would be even more difficult to deal with her since she had a bigger backer than the Emperor.

As soon as Xiaoyanzi returned to Shufangzhai, she asked Jinsuo, Mingyue and Caixia to change their makeup. Before their headdresses were ready, they hurried to Shenwu Gate.

Qing Er saw that the old Buddha had almost finished speaking and walked forward.

"Qing'er pays respect to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed." He stood up and looked at Hanxiang again, and they smiled at each other.

Qianlong looked at Qing'er

"No need to be polite, my dear Qing'er. Thanks to you taking care of the old Buddha, I don't have to worry about anything."

Qing Er bowed

"This is what Qing'er should do. Qing'er is unworthy of it."
