The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Yongqi looked at the lively Xiaoyanzi, thought about the emperor's usual love for them, and finally put aside his worries.

After following Xiaoyanzi to see the team, they went to Liu Qing and Liu Hong's restaurant and played for a while before returning to the palace.

Thinking of the gentle and elegant little maidservant beside Concubine Ling in the palace, Qianlong became interested and planned to visit her palace.

In the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ling was secretly delighted to know that the emperor had arrived. She walked to Qianlong's side with small steps and said, "Your Majesty, please try my newly dried chrysanthemum tea. It's hot in this weather, and drinking this is just the right amount to cool you down."

Qianlong naturally enjoyed Concubine Ling's service. He took the chrysanthemum tea from Concubine Ling's hand and took a sip. "Well, it's really good."

He looked around the palace and asked, "Where is the maidservant that Xiaoyanzi brought with you?"

When Concubine Ling heard the emperor asking Ziwei, her expression froze, but she soon reacted and said naturally: "The little girl is sick, I asked her to go back to the room to rest."

Qianlong did not miss the hint of panic in Concubine Ling's eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and simply said a few perfunctory words to Concubine Ling before leaving, leaving her sulking.

Concubine Ling was also in the dark, and she didn't see that the emperor's love for Ziwei was not the love of a junior, but the love for a woman. She thought that the emperor only liked Ziwei because of Xiaoyanzi, and didn't see Qianlong's true intentions at all.

After leaving the Yanxi Palace, Qianlong asked Li Yu to investigate the situation. Li Yu was worthy of being the emperor's chief eunuch, and he found out the reason before dark.

"Are you saying that Yongqi secretly left the palace with Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yu wanted to lower his head to the ground so as not to face the emperor's anger. Although he couldn't hear the emotions in the emperor's tone, he dared to guarantee that the Fifth Prince had definitely angered the emperor after following him for so many years.

In fact, this is true. Qianlong did have a seed of dissatisfaction in his heart towards his son and Xiaoyanzi and others, which was just waiting to take root and sprout to an unbearable level and then explode.

When they arrived in the capital, Fulkang took everyone to a post station specially prepared for the Hui people and had to leave.

When he returned, he first reported to the emperor and then went back to Fucha Mansion. He never thought about Princess Ziwei who was looking forward to seeing him in the palace.

Ziwei, who had returned to the palace and waited until the evening but did not see Erkang, looked at the door in disappointment. Jinsuo looked at the melancholy young lady standing by the bed with heartache and comforted her, "Young lady, Lord Fu Erkang just sent Princess Hanxiang away. He must be too tired, so he didn't come to see you. You should get some rest first."

Ziwei insisted to the worried Jinsuo: "I will wait for another two hours. If Erkang doesn't come, I will go to sleep. Jinsuo, you go to sleep first."

Looking at the stubborn young lady, Jinsuo felt sad and distressed. She pretended to be cheerful and said, "I don't do much during the day. I am very sober now. I also want to accompany the young lady."

Ziwei looked at Jinsuo with emotion, but she did not wait for Erkang that night.

In the past few days, not only Qingyin from the Hui tribe arrived, but the Saiyan Princess from Tibet also came to the capital, but the post station where Qingyin lived was far away from hers.

In the palace, Empress Ulanara was also preparing a banquet to entertain foreign envoys. All of this was her business.

Thinking of the thankless banquet, Concubine Ling who always stabbed her in the heart, and Xiaoyanzi who made the palace a mess, Ulanara felt so angry that she felt like she had aged several years.

Madam Rong was the nanny who had always been by Ulanara's side taking care of her. She watched with heartache as this little girl grew into the graceful and elegant queen she is today.

"My queen, as long as you get things done, don't worry about those troubles, your blessings are in the future!"

"Mammy, I know." Looking at the nanny who treated her like her own daughter, Ulanara felt warm in her heart, and the depressed feeling she had felt these days was somewhat relieved.

After arranging everything for the banquet, I lay down and had a good rest.

At dawn, smoke from the imperial kitchen rose early. The aroma of food filled the land. In the Guangming Palace, the venue for the banquet, servants came and went, arranging various decorations and chairs in an orderly manner.

The morning light was dim and the sun had just begun to shine. It was obviously a good day.

The ministers who were going to attend the banquet had already entered the banquet hall with their wives and daughters, followed by Qianlong's princes. Qianlong had few sons, and the only princes who were still alive and grew up were the fifth prince Yongqi, the twelfth prince Yongji, and the fifteenth prince Yongyan, except for the fourth prince Yongsheng and the sixth prince Yongrong who were adopted early on to members of the royal family without descendants.

Several princes arrived at the banquet and quarreled with each other, the most obvious being between Yongqi and Yongqi. As the legitimate son of the empress, Yongqi and Yongqi, who was favored by Emperor Qianlong, had an indelible estrangement. In addition, Xiaoyanzi had several times entered the empress's palace and had created a feud, which made Yongqi even more hostile to Yongqi.

Yongqi was also quite disdainful of his old rival Yongji. As the emperor's favorite son, he had a kind of pride. He himself might not have realized that he looked down on his brothers. The perceptive Yongji noticed this disdain and hated this brother even more.

Half an incense stick of time had passed. Except for the emperor and empress, most of the court officials had arrived. The Tibetan Saiyan princesses entered the venue in their unique costumes. They glanced around and focused on the young and handsome man in the men's seats. Their eyes met with the imposing Falcon who was drinking at the bottom. Saiyan's eyes lit up and she asked the maid who led the way, "Who is this person?"

The maid leading the way was a little scared of the Tibetan king's only daughter. She immediately told the princess without hesitation, "Princess, this is Master Fucha Fuerkang, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Fucha Fulun."

After receiving the reply, Saiyan sat down in his seat obviously with satisfaction, and kept staring at Falcon's position. When he saw Falcon looking at him, he enthusiastically showed his bright and generous smile.

Upon seeing this, Falcon immediately lowered his head and ignored the Saiyan Princess.

The princes at the table obviously did not miss the sight of Princess Saiyan. The fifteenth prince Yongyan looked at Yongqi meaningfully, "It seems that our Master Fulcon is really popular and has caught Saiyan's eye."

Yongqi was dissatisfied with Yongyan's sarcasm. Besides, Fu Erkang was not only his good friend but also the lover of his biological sister Ziwei, so he didn't want others to tease him.

"Folkan is handsome, and Princess Saiyan only looked at him a few times, so it's hard to say that she likes him. If that were true, there would be countless people who like the emperor's brother."

Yongyan was not angry when he was retorted. He smiled casually. He knew that his words had gone through Yongqi's heart and left him feeling uncomfortable. Anyway, as long as Yongqi was unhappy, he was happy.
