The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The Queen went back to Kunning Palace and got really angry

"What does the Empress Dowager mean? She doesn't even allow me to say I am your concubine, but lets Hanxiang call her mother. Doesn't this palace have room for me?"

Rong Mama looked at her own queen and didn't dare to say anything, when had she ever seen the queen lose her composure like this?

"We must get rid of those two people to avenge the Empress."

In Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei washed their faces, changed into Manchu clothing and went to Cining Palace.

There was laughter and joy in the Cining Palace. A palace maid came in and reported, "Princess Huanzhu and Princess Ziwei are here."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei kneel down to pay their respects

"May the Buddha be blessed, may the Emperor be blessed, may the Empress be blessed, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed."

The old man looked at the two of them expressionlessly

"Stand up. But from now on, Noble Concubine must be called Imperial Noble Concubine. Remember that?"

Xiaoyanzi Ziwei replied: "I respect the Buddha's order and wish the Imperial Concubine good luck."

The old man looked at the two of them and said

"You two are from the common people. I heard from the Imperial Concubine that Madam Kang taught you many of the etiquette in the palace. Now that you have been taught etiquette, you should think twice before you act and not give the Imperial Concubine any chance to criticize you."

Hanxiang listened to what Lao Foye said and hurried to comfort

"Mother, please don't be too harsh on the two princesses. I know you are teaching them with good intentions, but this is the first time they meet you. Don't let them think you are unkind. Look, the two princesses are frightened by you."

After hearing this, Lao Foye turned to look at Hanxiang.

"You have a point, but you can't become fat in one go, right?

I can only ask Nanny Gui to keep an eye on you, and Nanny Kang will be responsible for taking care of your food, clothing, and daily life, and by the way, punishing the disobedient palace servants to prevent you from not paying attention to yourself."

Hanxiang acted coquettishly to the Empress Dowager: "I knew that you, mother, have a kind heart like a bodhisattva."

Winking at Xiaoyanzi Ziwei

"You two go back and reflect on yourselves, and remember my instructions to you."

When Xiaoyanzi Ziwei saw this, she said to the old Buddha: "Thank you for your teaching, old Buddha."

Hanxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the two of them did not have a direct conflict with the Old Buddha.

What did the old Buddha think of? Ask Qianlong

"I just heard from my sweetheart that you arranged a marriage for Yongqi and Erkang"?

Qianlong laughed

"Yes, they were in love with each other at that time, and I granted them marriage because I saw they were childhood sweethearts. But is there anything wrong with that?"

The old man disagrees

"Why did you arrange a marriage for them? They have to wait until I come back."

Hanxiang thought of Qing'er and suddenly looked up at Ziwei. She was very angry and said

"It is inappropriate. Three years ago, Erkang came here on the orders of Your Majesty to deliver winter supplies to the Empress Dowager. He was trapped by heavy snow and couldn't go down the mountain. So he and Qing'er watched the stars and the moon on the mountain, and talked about poetry and songs and the philosophy of life."

Having said this, he glanced at Ziwei's expression and continued

"My mother and I hid behind the door and peeked in. I guess they were so engrossed in their conversation that I didn't notice.

Later when I came to Beijing, I found that he seemed not to know me, so I guessed that maybe his family did not agree with their marriage?

Because the old Buddha concealed her identity from me at that time, I just thought she was the daughter of an ordinary minister and didn't think much about it."

Ziwei couldn't help but take a step back and ask Hanxiang

"You said you didn't know the identity of the old Buddha, so she arranged the marriage between me and Erkang?"

Hanxiang nodded

"Yes, I felt familiar with him the first time I saw him when I returned to the palace, but I didn't know until he said he was Erkang.

During the Southern Tour, I saw that he treated you very differently. I wanted to ask him several times, but seeing that he kept silent, I was afraid of touching upon his sorrow, so I just went along with it.

Hanxiang looked at Ziwei's face

“The situation is completely different now, why don’t you talk to each other face to face.

But I will not let Qing'er share a husband, Erkang is not worthy of such a good Qing'er."

Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but get angry

"What does Erkang want to do? Is he two-timing? Ziwei, let's go and ask him face to face. If it's really a big deal, we can just give up on him, okay?"

Ziwei took a deep breath and apologized to the old Buddha

"Old Buddha, I came to pay my respects to you today and apologize at the same time. Unfortunately, I am sorry that I cannot apologize to you today. I will come to the Cining Palace to make amends to you another day."

Unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and ran out.

Xiaoyanzi saw Ziwei running out and said to Lao Foye

"Master Buddha, I'm going to go see Ziwei. I'll come and apologize to you another day." He quickly got up and went after Ziwei.

On the way, Xiaoyanzi caught up with Ziwei and was about to talk when they ran into someone. Xiaoyanzi thought it was a palace maid and was about to apologize, but Erkang came and greeted Qing'er when he saw her: "Qing'er".

Ziwei suddenly looked up at Erkang and could no longer bear to question him.

"She is Qing'er? Three years ago, you and her watched the stars and the moon, and talked about poetry and songs and the philosophy of life for a whole night?

Since Hanxiang entered the palace, you pretended not to know her, and you were in love with me outside the palace. What do you think of Qing'er? What do you think of me?"

Qing'er turned her head to look at Erkang and asked him for an explanation.

Erkang looked annoyed

"I knew that the Queen would be suspicious when she saw Qing'er, but three years ago I was ignorant and thought that was love.

It was not until I met you, Ziwei, that I knew what love was. That’s why I was afraid of losing you, and I didn’t tell the queen, Lao Foye and Qing’er’s true identities. I was afraid you would misunderstand me.”

Qing Er heard this and asked him calmly

"What about what you said to me all night three years ago? Can you just brush it off with an ignorant excuse?

You should know that it is easy for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, which can easily lead to misunderstandings, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ziwei turned around and ran back to Shufangzhai. Qing'er was still questioning him.

Erkang said to Qing'er

“I’m sorry Qing’er, my behavior made you misunderstand, but my feelings for you are far less intense than those for Ziwei. I’m sorry.

If you need any help from me in the future, just ask and I will help you."

Qing Er interrupted him when he heard this.

"I don't need other people's pity. I have my own self-esteem. I will never come between you and Ziwei. I will find my own happiness."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the Cining Palace.

In Cining Palace, Hanxiang is still angry about Qing'er

"What's wrong with Qing'er? He is still picky. Erkang is not worthy of Qing'er. Don't worry, mother. I will definitely find a good husband for Qing'er."

The old man hasn't spoken yet. Qing'er walks in.

"Then Qing'er would like to thank the Imperial Concubine."

Hanxiang pulled Qing'er over and asked her to sit next to her to comfort her

"Don't be sad. If Erkang is not good enough, I will find a better one for you. Our Qing'er is so gentle and generous that she definitely deserves a better man."

Qing Er took her hand

"You get angry because of others, but why are you not anxious about your own affairs at all?"

Fragrant doubts

"What can happen to me? I feel fine every day."

Even the old Buddha hates iron but cannot make steel

"Others have bullied you right at your doorstep, and you still feel good about yourself"?

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong in confusion, only to see that he also had a gloomy face and pulled her to his side.

"Madame Kang just reported that musk was found in your diet. Since you are a medical student, you should know the harmful effects of musk on the human body."

Hanxiang couldn't help but ask Qianlong: "Did you find out who it is?"

Qianlong looked into her eyes

"Guixiang, the second-class palace maid who serves you."

Hanxiang defends her

"Maybe she has some unspeakable secret? I know her. She doesn't talk much, but she always smiles at me every time she sees me.

I remember she had a very pretty smile. Can you bring her here so I can ask her about her?"

Qianlong sighed, and the old Buddha took a deep breath

"You were so angry about Qing'er just now and I thought you had no temper. It turns out that your temper is because of the people you care about. Why don't you care about yourself?"

Hanxiang flirts with Mr. Buddha

"Mother, I haven't done anything evil to anyone. Who would want to harm me? You are just worrying too much."

Mr. Lafayette didn't know what to say about her.

"What about the Queen? She has the motive and the ability."

Hanxiang shook her head affirmatively

"The Queen must have been distracted for a moment, we should give her more time.

We pushed her too hard, after all, she is the queen."

Qianlong took her in two steps and held her in his arms

"If I didn't force her to die, you would be the one. Did you know that she wanted to poison you? It's thiamine. A little bit of it is enough to kill you."

Hanxiang watched Qianlong act coquettishly towards him

"Isn't there anything wrong? I know how to treat it. If it's poisonous, I'll definitely know I won't get stuck. Can you give Her Majesty the Queen another chance?"
