Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

"Zi Chen, what do you think? Zi Chen? Zi Wei? What are you thinking about, little girl? Why are you so engrossed?" Hong Zhou closed his fan and waved it in front of her with interest.

Ziwei came back to her senses and saw the inquiry in his eyes. She knew that this famous Prince Heqin was definitely a man of great wisdom and foolishness.

"The emperor is wise and brave, and very generous. Ziwei likes him very much. What gift did the emperor's uncle give to Ziwei?" She stretched out her hand to ask for it without any hesitation. This man was not poor. He must have received a lot of gifts every time he held a funeral, and he received them openly.

Hong Zhou looked at her in surprise. This little girl was so shameless. She asked for gifts the first time they met and was not afraid of making him angry.

Ziwei lamented and said to Fukang'an, "Look, whose uncle is so stingy that he didn't even give a greeting gift when we first met."

Fu Kang'an chuckled, "Prince Heqin is not stingy. Princess Huanzhu received many gifts from him back then. You are his niece, so it would be a shame to give less."

Ziwei was speechless. Fukangan was so powerful that he couldn't give her less.

Hong Zhou glared at Fu Kang'an. This guy hasn't even entered the door yet! He looked at Ziwei again, feeling a little helpless. This little girl was really rude, but this kind of personality made him like her a little.

He took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Ziwei: "This jade pendant is something I carry with me. I'll give it to you."

Ziwei took the jade pendant and looked at it. She found that it was engraved with a phoenix, which was very lifelike and beautiful. She smiled happily and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

Hong Zhou looked at her smile. Is this little girl satisfied like this?

"Your aunt has prepared quite a few gifts for you. Ask her to send them to Yuhua Palace later."

Fukang'an watched them interact, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Ziwei saluted him pretentiously and said, "Then I, your niece, would like to thank the Emperor's uncle and aunt for their kindness. I will give you a big gift one day!"

Seeing her like this, Hong Zhou couldn't help but think of the younger appearance of the emperor and his wife. If he could really get a gift like that, he would be able to hold more funerals in the future.

If Ziwei knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face and then force him to do hard labor.

The waiters quickly served a number of delicious dishes, the aroma wafting through the air without disturbing each other. As expected of a restaurant renowned throughout the capital, the taste was simply amazing!

Ziwei enjoyed the meal very much. She had mostly eaten cold food these days, and now that the food was so delicious, she naturally ate it a little faster than before.

Seeing her like this, Hong Zhou shook his head distressedly, "You little girl, it would be nice if you could stay in the palace. Why did you have to run so far away? Look how hungry you are! Didn't Fu Kang'an even prepare food for you?"

Fukang'an looked innocent. He picked up a piece of lean pork shreds for Ziwei with chopsticks and shrugged innocently.

At this moment, a soft and lingering singing suddenly came from downstairs.

"The moon is dim, the water is full,

My heart is unsettled, the lamp is half lit,

The wind is unstable, the dream is restless,

The fading drum at the third watch makes me sad!

The flowers are withered, the soul is drunk,

The wine reaches my eyes and turns into tears.

I don’t see the arrival of spring, but I see the spring coming.

It’s not a disease-causing drink, it slims your waistline!

Where is my return? My youth has been wasted.

Looking out from the tall building, there are distant mountains and trees!

No one is returning, only the way home is seen.

Autumn water and long sky, setting sun and solitary wild goose!

There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and there is no way to fly across.

Spring goes and winter comes, the leaves fall from the mountains,

A message to you, don't let your affection down.

I wish I could turn into poplar blossoms and stick with you!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Hong Zhou choked on his tea, his coughing like thunder, almost shaking the entire room. He frantically picked up the teacup and gulped down several large gulps of tea before finally catching his breath. His face flushed crimson. His eyes widened as he roared at the door, "Get in here, my king!"

A servant came crawling into the room, panicking and asking, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Hong Zhou widened his eyes and asked angrily: "Why are people singing such obscene words down there? When did my Longyuan Tower become so vulgar? Are we going to turn this place into a brothel?" He pushed open the window abruptly, staring at the stage on the first floor with a sharp gaze.

On the stage, a woman was leisurely singing an obscene tune, while an old man beside her was rhythmically beating an instrument. Ziwei looked out the window curiously. The woman's eyes were darting around, as if searching for something.

She couldn't help but sigh, "This woman is really brave. She dared to sing such an explicit song in the restaurant. It's amazing that there were such bold women in ancient times. But she seems to be looking for someone."

"You're restless!" Fukang'an took a quick look and then looked away.

The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said anxiously to the prince, "Your Highness, this woman is too troublesome. We can't drive her away no matter what we do. As soon as we try to drive her away, she starts crying silently. Her pitiful appearance makes the men around unable to bear it, and they all run to the shopkeeper to plead for mercy. No matter how the shopkeeper refuses, it's no use, and he's even stopped by those people. As a result, this woman took advantage of the chaos and sneaked onto the stage."

At this moment, an angry rebuke suddenly came from the audience: "Dulong, how dare you treat Miss Bai like this! She has worked so hard, doesn't she deserve respect?"

Duolong sneered disapprovingly, "Fucha Haozhen, since you like her so much, then marry her and take good care of her. Why let her show up here in public? She comes here to sing to make money. I just asked her to change the song. What's the big deal? You like to listen to this tune, but I don't like it."

"Don't you think you're being abominable for embarrassing a weak woman like this?" Haozhen stepped forward, grabbing the front of his collar and exclaiming in frustration. Duolong sneered and slapped his hand away. "A dignified prince like Haozhen actually hit someone just for singing a song. If word gets back to you, will Prince Shuo break your legs?"

Upon hearing this, Haozhen's expression instantly darkened, but he didn't continue his attack. Meanwhile, Bai Yinshuang, who was pretending to be pitiful, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and surprise in her eyes. It turned out that this man was actually a prince!

Bai Yinshuang stood up and said softly, "Gentlemen, please don't quarrel over Yinshuang. It will make it difficult for the shopkeeper to do business." As she spoke, she pretended to be horrified and glanced at the shopkeeper not far away.

The shopkeeper cursed inwardly, "This woman is really good at talking. It was clearly her who started the trouble, and now she's still saying this. I've never seen a woman with such a thick skin."
