The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 46: The Concubine Incident

Xiaoyanzi and her companions, who were late, finally arrived at Guangming Hall, and happened to meet Qingyin who came to receive the imperial edict.

Xiaoyanzi and the others were stunned. Could such a beautiful person really exist? She subconsciously glanced at the Fifth Prince Yongqi who was sitting on the lower left. She was relieved when she saw that he didn't look at Qingyin. Yongqi was not a person who was greedy for beauty! She should believe him.

She looked directly at Qing Yin with a hint of hostility, "Who are you?"

Qingyin was lucky to meet this Huanzhu Gege. The woman who was liked by Qianlong and Yongqi, two big backers, could only be considered pretty. Unfortunately, the jealousy on her face destroyed the beauty of her face. Qingyin was a little disappointed. She was liked only because she was unrestrained and lively, which was different from the ladies raised in the rules. Even this advantage would only wear away at that point as time went by, and become a mess.

Qingyin had not yet been conferred a title. She lowered her crow-feather eyelashes, pretending to be frightened and whispered, "I am Guli, the eldest daughter of the Khan of the Hui tribe. I am honored to meet the princess."

Hearing the charming voice beside her ears, Xiaoyanzi became even more displeased. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Qianlong's voice.

Qianlong looked at Xiaoyanzi who was late and was still arrogant and trying to go against his beloved concubine. He said sternly: "Princess Huanzhu has no respect for elders and does not follow the rules. Take her out and give her 20 strokes of the cane and confine her for three months."

The sudden punishment from the Emperor frightened Xiaoyanzi so much that she collapsed to the ground. She did not expect that this was because she had offended Qingyin, and thought that she was punished by the Emperor because of her lateness. She looked tremblingly at the Emperor who had always loved her, but now had a cold face. Xiaoyanzi could not help but feel scared from the bottom of her heart, and looked towards Yongqi for help. Looking at the motionless Yongqi, she felt hopeless and was dragged out by the maid.

Yongqi also noticed Xiaoyanzi's gaze, but when he saw her making things difficult for the innocent Princess Guli and Concubine Buyu, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to persuade her.

The banquet became much quieter after the incident with Xiaoyanzi, but soon became lively again at the suggestion of the old man.

Bailey, who had achieved his wish, looked at Qingyin who was named a concubine with reluctance. After his sister became a concubine, he could not stay too long, and he would have fewer opportunities to see his sister. His eyes swept over Hanxiang who was a little happy, and he felt a little angry in his heart. People are all made of flesh and blood. The elder sister married the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the clan, but the younger sister went on hunger strike several times because of this. He was undoubtedly disappointed in her when he saw Li'er getting married without any worries. The younger sister was too selfish.

Hanxiang was not without worries about her elder sister, but after her sister married the emperor, she would definitely be able to go back. And Mengdan was waiting for her in the Hui tribe. Hanxiang smiled for once, which was a rare occasion.

Qingyin looked at the beauties dancing in the audience. It was great to be an emperor. Not only could he look at beauties openly, but he could also enjoy their hospitality. But Hanxiang's sweetheart, Mengdan, had also arrived in the capital, right? Thinking of Mengdan who ignored the prejudices of his clansmen, Qingyin frowned with some disgust. Qianlong, who had been observing this, thought that Qingyin didn't like the bitter vegetable heart. Noticing that Qingyin ate a lot of sweet cakes, he ordered people to bring some fresh red bean cakes and barley cakes. Seeing Qingyin's surprised look, he curled his lips and smiled.

Why does he look so sweet and likes to eat sweet things? He really seems like a baby raised in a sweet jar!

The bright and cheerful Princess Saiyan at the banquet is a real face control. She was originally thinking about how to propose the candidate for marriage to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but now looking at Princess Guli, her soul almost flew away. Falcon, who had been favored by her just now, also disliked her. It was a pity that she was just a girl. Princess Guli's face was really the one that she loved.

Looking at the Saiyan Princess who was staring at her with extremely passionate and happy eyes, Qingyin smiled at her slightly, which made the Saiyan Princess' face turn red all of a sudden, and she dared not look at her so presumptuously anymore.

Qianlong saw this scene, and he looked at Princess Saiyan with inexplicable displeasure. However, he knew that treasures could easily attract the attention of others, not to mention that what he got was the most unique and one-of-a-kind treasure in the world. He confidently glanced at the princes as if he hadn't noticed, and ignored their little movements.

Saiyan, who sensed the danger at the table, felt a shudder in his heart, but unfortunately the feeling was fleeting and soon disappeared.

Before the banquet was about to end, Sai Ya remembered the business after being reminded by the people around her. She proposed the martial arts competition to the emperor. Even if Qing Yin was not there, she did not plan to marry the emperor or the prince. As the only daughter of the King of Tibet, she would have the right of inheritance in the future. Marrying these people would not only lose her inheritance rights, but also leave her homeland. She was crazy to do this. She originally wanted to take a handsome boy from the Qing Dynasty away, but with such a beautiful woman in front of her, she really didn't want to go against her own ideas and bring an ugly man home. Let's just use the martial arts competition to get by, anyway, this matter will not affect her much.

Qianlong listened to Princess Saiyan's proposal and of course agreed directly. Now, except for Qingyin's matter, he was extremely perfunctory and didn't care much about it.

The banquet time passed quickly, and Qingyin and Alyssa had to stay in the palace, waiting for the imperial concubine's ceremony.

Qianlong directly kept Qingyin in the Qianqing Palace. Qianlong had no intention of taking Qingyin tonight. He just wanted to be closer to Qingyin and ignored the advice of the ritual officer.

The ritual system is used to restrain the subordinates, not him as the ruler.

Faced with Qianlong's threatening eyes, the ceremonial officer who was responsible for recording and admonishing the emperor simply returned what he was about to say. This was not a big deal, and he was not a fool to lose his head for it.

In the Yanx Palace, Concubine Ling could not go there, so she received the news that the Emperor had married a new woman as Concubine Yu, bypassing them, and that Xiaoyanzi was severely punished. All these things made Concubine Ling dizzy.

"what!"

Concubine Ling's sharp red nails sank directly into the flesh of the arm of the maid Lu Rou who was reporting the matter. Lu Rou shuddered in pain, but even so she did not dare to scream out, and could only continue to explain the situation to Concubine Ling with a trembling voice.

Although Concubine Ling was gentle and considerate to the Emperor, she was actually very cruel behind the scenes. Lu Rou felt panicked when she thought of the maids who had gone to unknown places because they had offended Concubine Ling. She clenched her teeth tightly, not daring to make a sound to anger her.

Concubine Ling sat down on the spot with the help of her maid. How could it be? How could it be? Why would the emperor punish Xiaoyanzi so severely for being late? Xiaoyanzi was not punished so severely for trespassing into the Queen's palace. Didn't he always dote on Xiaoyanzi? And that bitch imperial concubine, how could she be called worthy! The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She was so angry that she smashed the glass vase next to her hand. The whole palace was silent, and the maids who served her wanted to bow to the ground.

Ziwei, who was walking to the side room and happened to hear the noise, was startled. When she approached the palace, Concubine Ling showed her usual gentle smile like a mask, "Why is Ziwei here?"
