The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The waiting process is very painful. If Hanxiang knew that something like this would happen today, she would never come. It's so sad.

Perhaps the heavens heard her prayers, and the guards brought back a girl of about 17 or 18 years old who said to Qianlong:

"Your Majesty, we went to the slum and saw this woman who seemed to be waiting for someone to come forward and ask her. We confirmed that she was the Ziwei that Your Majesty mentioned."

Then he withdrew.

Qianlong looking at Ziwei

"How do you know that you are my daughter?"

Ziwei bowed when she heard Qianlong's question

"My mother said that if I ever meet my father, she would ask me, 'Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?

There is also a saying: "You should be like a rock, and I should be like a reed. The reed is as strong as silk, but is the rock immovable?"

When Qianlong heard this, he was startled. The group returned to the palace in a mighty manner.

"You will live in Shufangzhai from now on. I will confer the title of Princess Mingzhu on you. As for Xiaoyanzi, I will reward her."

After saying that, he sat for a while and then went to Baoyue Tower.

Ziwei Salute

"Farewell to the Emperor."

Looking at the little swallow again

"Thank you for finding my father for me. Do you want to stay or leave the palace?"

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she thought of Liu Qing and Liu Hong outside the palace and the people in the compound, and also thought of the beauty she met today and Monerdan.

"I want to stay and ask her why she abandoned my master."

Ziwei was thoughtful after hearing this. She needed to think about what to do. Judging from the emperor's attitude just now, he did not welcome her very much.

Hanxiang has been absent-minded since she came back from the hunting ground, and she feels tormented thinking about Xiaoyanzi's words.

On the one hand, he couldn't let go of Mondal, and on the other hand, he couldn't let go of his tribesmen.

He stared into the distance in a daze and didn't even know when the emperor would arrive.

Qianlong was also filled with emotion. The moment he arrived at Baoyue Tower and saw her, his heart suddenly calmed down. Seeing that she did not react, he deliberately made a noise.

Hanxiang heard the voice and looked back at him, then looked back at the empty space and said

"We can build a lotus pond here. The lotus flowers here will definitely be beautiful in the summer. How about setting up a swing not far away?"

Qianlong looked at

"I think it's feasible. There's a place behind where we can plant plum blossoms so we can enjoy the lotus in summer and the plum blossoms in winter."

I pinched her little nose again.

"You know how to enjoy it. I will come to accompany you when I am not busy."

Hanxiang nodded and asked

"How should Xiaoyanzi be arranged?"

After asking this question, I felt that there was something ambiguous and I didn't know how to remedy it, so I could only regret it inwardly.

Qianlong looked at her deeply, then suddenly grabbed her and held her in his arms.

Hanxiang looked at the person who suddenly hugged her and was puzzled

"emperor"?

I don't understand why he suddenly hugged me.

Only when Qianlong held Hanxiang did he feel that she was his own. The panic she had felt when she asked Xiaoyanzi just now was finally calmed down.

"Why are you asking about Xiaoyanzi? Do you want to keep her?"

Hanxiang looked up at him when she heard this.

"If you want to confer the title of Ziwei, you should only do it in the name of your adopted daughter. There is no difference between one or two."

The tone also seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Qianlong was so angry that he laughed

"You don't care how many adopted daughters I have, right? I only want you."

After saying that, he asked her to get closer to him.

Hanxiang couldn't help but refute

"By doing this, Your Majesty, isn't you making Hanxiang enemies?"

Qianlong was intoxicated by her fragrance.

"I can't pretend to be nice to them now. I will protect you from any harm.

Since you want to keep Xiaoyanzi, let her accompany you. But she needs to go to the study room. She can't become a princess and not be able to read a single word."

Hanxiang nodded

"Can I go watch her class? It would be interesting.

Hanxiang thinks she is an interesting person and it would be better if she didn't say things so harshly."

Qianlong laughed out loud when he heard it.

"There are still people who make you feel choked, it's because you feel guilty"

As he said this, he got angry again.

Hanxiang changes the subject

"Will Xiaoyanzi refuse? After all, she is a free little swallow, and the walls of the imperial palace are solemn and majestic.

The strict hierarchy is what is trapping her; Hanxiang doesn't want her to become a little swallow with broken wings."

Qianlong thought about it.

"I will ask her some other day. If she wants to stay, I will issue an edict to confer the title on her.

I want to issue an edict tomorrow to formally confer you the title of Xiang Guifei, and you can live here with peace of mind from now on."

Hanxiang was startled

"Isn't the position of Imperial Concubine too high? Hanxiang might feel unworthy of it, and the court officials might say something.

The chatter of those censors is the most annoying. They have no idea about big issues but have a lot to say about small issues."

Qianlong agreed with this.

"That makes sense, but I am the emperor and they can only obey."

He picked up Hanxiang's hand and played with it without saying a word.

Hanxiang had no choice but to give up when she saw this. If the enemy comes, she will fight back with her soldiers. If the water comes, she will block it with earth. If the people in the harem are really restless, she will not be easily messed with. This is the only way for now.

Looking at the people who still stay in their palace

"How long does the emperor plan to stay?"

The implication is that you should leave.

Qianlong heard this

"I live in a side hall. I promise I won't touch you, but don't try to drive me away."

Fragrant and Driving People Away

"Hanxiang wants to go to bed, Your Majesty, would you mind moving?"

When Qianlong heard this, he gritted his teeth and went to the side hall, thinking

"I won't live in the side hall forever. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when the time comes."

I thought about going to the side hall to deal with the memorials.

The people in the harem don’t know what the emperor is thinking yet, and they are afraid that it will cause another uproar.

In the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ling was staring at the moon in a trance. Dongxue saw it and comforted her.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should go to bed early or your body will not be able to bear it."

Hearing this, Concubine Ling smiled bitterly.

“The Emperor has never entered the harem since Princess Hanxiang came.

The only time she came was to issue an order not to appear in front of her, as if we were all monsters.

Now that Hanxiang has moved into Baoyue Tower, the emperor will probably not come to the harem anymore."

There was also a gloomy atmosphere in Kunning Palace. The Queen looked at Kunning Palace and said:

"So what if she's the head of the harem? The emperor's decree shows that Kunning Palace is a cold palace, and the real empress is in Baoyue Tower."

When Rong Mama heard this, she comforted

"The Queen is always the Queen. Even if the people in Baoyue Tower are more favored, they can't shake the Queen's position. Just relax."

The queen could only think so.

The next day, Qianlong entertained Ali in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.

"Today I have issued an edict to confer Hanxiang the title of Imperial Concubine Xiang. Ali can rest assured now."

Upon hearing this, Ali Khoja bowed to the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Now I can return to the Uyghur tribe with peace of mind."

Qianlong heard the advice

"Why don't you stay a few more days? Hanxiang can't bear to leave you."

Ali heard this and took over

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the Uyghurs still have things to do, so I have to go back to take charge of the situation."

Hanxiang heard the news that her father had returned and said to Qianlong

"Your Majesty, please allow Hanxiang to accompany my father."

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang and nodded, then returned to the Yangxin Palace and immediately summoned Yongqi and the other two.

"I want you to escort Ali Khoja to Shiliting tomorrow and do not stay there. Return to the palace immediately. Bring more guards and make sure to send Concubine Xiang back safely. I will reward you when you're done."

Thinking about what happened that night when Ali said he would take his entourage to catch that man but they came up empty-handed, he had a bad feeling that nothing would go wrong when Hanxiang went to see Ali off tomorrow.

After the team arrived at Shili Pavilion, Yongqi and the other two looked at each other and said to Ali and Zhuo Dao

"The Emperor has ordered that Concubine Xiang say goodbye to you here."

Ali Hezhuo exclaimed after hearing this

"Well, no matter how far away you are, we have to say goodbye."

Hanxiang hurriedly got off the carriage and told Ali

"Daddy, please take care of yourself."

Ali Hezhuo shook Hanxiang's hand

"You should also take good care of yourself and don't blame daddy."

Then he rode away quickly with the Uyghur soldiers.

Hanxiang stood there for a long time, and Yongqi said to Erkang Ertai

"We should take Concubine Xiang back with us. We can't afford it if the Emperor blames us."

Erkang looked at this scene

"Please let the imperial concubine stay a little longer. I will wave goodbye and leave. The horses are neighing. I don't know when we will meet again after this farewell."

Hanxiang was staring into the distance in a daze, when suddenly a large group of masked men jumped out and rushed towards her.
