New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

"Xiaoyanzi, the emperor is not a person who has a single favorite. You can't control it." Erkang said.

"At least they all have a special crush on someone. They won't be like the emperor, so you can rest assured." Benjamin thought that Xiaoyanzi was thinking about the emperor and felt that Yongqi would be the same, so he spoke up.

"Hmph! Stop using those four-character idioms to deceive people! I know you are all envious, Yongqi, how many wives are you planning to marry in your life? Tell me!" Xiaoyanzi was interrupted by Benjamin and immediately shifted her firepower and started attacking Yongqi.

"Of course you are the only one!" Yongqi replied quickly, fearing that Xiaoyanzi would scold him if he was a second late.

It's a pity. Although his attitude was fine, Xiaoyanzi was Xiaoyanzi. She directly retorted, "Bah, stop dreaming. I won't marry you! Like father, like son. I don't want to be the future Concubine Yu."

Xiaoyanzi saw it quite clearly and left Yongqi speechless.

Song Qing was just finding it funny when her hand was suddenly grabbed. She turned around and saw that it was Ertai. "What's wrong?" Song Qing asked puzzledly.

"I am sure that I only have you, forever." Ertai looked at Song Qing very seriously and said, obviously afraid that Song Qing would be affected by the emperor's affairs and doubt their relationship.

"Of course! You can only be mine!" Song Qing replied very domineeringly.

Song Qing's side was very harmonious, but Xiao Yanzi's side was in chaos.

"Okay, Xiaoyanzi, stop chasing Yongqi and come back and sit down." Song Qing looked at everyone and said seriously, "I want to discuss countermeasures with everyone today. At present, it is impossible to stop the emperor from accepting Hanxiang, but other ways may be possible."

"But Qing'er, can we only watch the emperor accept Hanxiang?" Ziwei asked. She didn't want Hanxiang to be taken by the emperor like this, after all, Hanxiang was the same age as them.

"For now, we can only wait and see. As for Hanxiang, I guess she will resist the emperor. Nothing will happen in the short term." Song Qing only remembered that Hanxiang did not obey at that time, but she did not remember how she did it specifically.

"But even if you resist, how long can you delay?" Ertai said. A man like the emperor always keeps his word. No matter how new a woman is to him, he cannot tolerate her for too long. He does not have much patience.

"I know this, so today I want to ask everyone if they want to help Mai Erdan and Hanxiang. If not, we will just let it go. If you want, we will slowly lend a hand." Song Qing thought she still had to see what everyone thought. Maybe they might not help this time! Although, Song Qing thought this was unlikely.

"Help! Of course we will! Meldan is our friend!" Except for Xiaoyanzi who was very sure, everyone else fell into deep thought. It was not that they did not want to help, but in this palace, it was almost impossible to let Hanxiang escape and reunite with Meldan. It might even put everyone in danger again.

"Xiaoyanzi, you have to think carefully. You have just escaped from the danger between the real and fake princesses. Are you going to face another danger now?" Song Qing felt that she still had to remind Xiaoyanzi.

"Yes, Xiaoyanzi, Hanxiang has been given to the emperor now, so she is the emperor's person. If you want to help Hanxiang and Meidan, it is bound to anger the emperor. After all, Hanxiang is the emperor's person, and he will not allow others to take her away even if he doesn't like her. What's more, the emperor likes Hanxiang so much. It is conceivable that once we send Hanxiang away, we are not sure how he will treat us." Ertai knew Song Qing's concerns, so he spoke up.

Song Qing and Ertai's words made Xiaoyanzi hesitate for a moment. She knew that she often got into trouble, and the emperor didn't blame her too much, but this matter was obviously not that easy. Once she helped, it would definitely be difficult to make peace. Moreover, Song Qing worried about them every day, and she didn't want to make things too difficult for Song Qing.

After thinking for a while, everyone came up with a rough answer.

"I think, at the moment I don't want to help, maybe I will help later, but I don't want to now." Yongqi said.

"I feel the same as Yongqi. Even though they are in a really difficult situation, we are in the same situation and we can't help them." Benjamin had the same idea as Yongqi. It was really impossible to help them now.

"Me too." Erkang said.

"Although I really want to help, I know that we are not in a very good situation now, and this matter is too dangerous! I can't let everyone buy this insurance." Ziwei actually didn't want to help, which really surprised Song Qing. After all, the original Ziwei would most likely help. It seems that Ziwei has changed after getting along with each other for this period of time.

"Oh, forget it. I'm not a real princess. If something happens, I can't even protect myself. So don't think about others! Besides, you are more important to me!" Xiaoyanzi's words really shocked everyone. Everyone was ready to brainwash Xiaoyanzi, but unexpectedly, she figured it out this time.

Song Qing knew that Xiaoyanzi was worried. She cared about Yongqi and was afraid that if this happened, she would never be able to be with Yongqi again. She usually just said unpleasant things, but she actually cared about Yongqi.

"Okay, in that case, let's ignore the matter of Hanxiang for now." Song Qing said.

-

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager gathered all the concubines together and expressed her attitude towards the emperor accepting Hanxiang. She asked the empress and the concubines to have the breadth of mind and etiquette of being wives and concubines, and to help the emperor whitewash himself by saying that it was Ali Khoja who presented the gift to express his affection, and as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he could not refuse.

In fact, not only the Queen and the concubines didn't believe this, even Song Qing didn't believe it.

Although everyone did not believe it, they still showed the right attitude. As the mother of a country, the Queen took the lead in expressing her attitude and would definitely lead the concubines in all palaces to abide by the teachings of the Empress Dowager.

Sincerity was shown, but the ugly words still had to be said in advance. The Queen directly pointed out that Hanxiang did not change out of her Hui clothing when she arrived at the palace, which was disrespectful to the rules set by the ancestors.

The old Buddha actually knew what the queen said, so he smiled and said, "Hanxiang's belief is the emperor's tolerance of him, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the clothes, I will find a chance to communicate with the emperor again."

These words not only saved the emperor's face, but also responded to the queen's request.

The Queen was relieved after hearing what the Buddha said. Everyone drank tea and ate snacks together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this time, Concubine Yu found that Concubine Ling beside her was retching non-stop, "Concubine Ling, what's wrong with you?"
