Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

After dinner, Ziwei returned to the palace.

As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she was greeted by a dense crowd of people from the palace. The emperor and the empress were at the head, followed by many concubines, princesses, palace maids and guards.

Seeing her approach, everyone except the emperor and his companions knelt and bowed. "Welcome Princess Gulun and Princess Chen back to the palace! Welcome Princess Gulun and Princess Chen back to the palace!" The clamor was so overwhelming that it startled Ziwei. She had only seen such a scale in TV dramas. The clamor when she returned from that trip was also huge, but she wasn't the protagonist then, and her mood was completely different from now.

"Hahaha, Ziwei, you came back suddenly without telling the Emperor in advance, otherwise there would definitely be more people welcoming you than this." Qianlong held the Queen's hand, walked quickly to Ziwei and laughed.

Ziwei smiled and bowed, "Ziwei greets the Emperor Father and Empress. I'm sorry that I made you worry when I went out this time."

The Queen looked her up and down, and seeing that she was no different, she scolded her, "You little girl, you don't even know how often you send letters back. You don't know how worried your father and I are about you."

"Then the Empress Dowager has wronged Ziwei. For all these days, we've either been traveling or dealing with matters over there, and then we've been traveling back again. I heard that people from Tibet are coming, and Ziwei wants to see how the people there are different from us."

Hearing this, the Emperor and Empress' faces showed distress. Qianlong even exaggeratedly ordered Li Yu, "Quickly bring my imperial sedan chair and let the princess ride in it and return to Yuhua Palace to rest! No one is allowed to disturb her for the next two days. Let her rest well."

The Queen then ordered Rong Mama, who was beside her, "Mama Rong, go to Yuhua Palace immediately and make arrangements. Have the kitchen prepare all the food. As soon as the princess cries out for food, serve it to her immediately."

The surrounding princesses and princes looked at each other in bewilderment, sighing in their hearts. They had never seen the Emperor and Empress dote on one person so much. Could it really be that important? They also wanted to go out and help the Emperor with his worries and difficulties...

Facing the mixed looks from everyone, Ziwei felt helpless, her lips twitching uncontrollably. "Is this a welcome back to the palace, or a way to put me on the spot?" she said, unwilling to get involved in any palace struggles. She had no experience, and she didn't have the brains for it either.

"Ziwei, you have made such a great contribution this time. I have appointed you as Princess Gulun, and will give you the Yonghe Palace and the Old Summer Palace of your majesty. In addition, if you have any other needs, you can just tell me." As these words came out, the atmosphere around them became more and more sour, and even the jealousy in Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi's eyes became stronger and stronger, almost overflowing.

Ziwei blinked a few times, and suddenly an idea struck her: "Then could the Emperor grant Ziwei a few more shops?"

Qianlong looked troubled upon hearing this, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Well..."

The Queen chuckled at this and took over the conversation: "If Ziwei wants a shop, you can tell the Queen Mother. There are quite a few shops in her dowry. You can go and choose one later and take whichever one you like."

Hearing this, Qianlong showed a trace of grievance on his face. As an emperor, he naturally did not need to compete with merchants for shops. You can ask him for money, but there are really no shops.

"Okay, Ziwei must be tired after traveling so fast. Let her go back to Yuhua Palace to rest." Qianlong secretly decided to send people to set up a few shops on the busiest street in the city. How could he spend his wife's dowry on what his daughter wanted? It was really embarrassing.

Not wanting to be looked down upon and treated like a monkey anymore, Ziwei politely declined Qianlong's sedan chair and disappeared from everyone's sight at an extremely fast speed in the stunned eyes of everyone.

"Ziwei, she seems to be faster..."

Qianlong envied, "I guess her skills have become even more profound."

After returning to Yuhua Palace, Ziwei was greeted respectfully by the servants. She finally left on the pretext of resting and fell into a deep sleep on the comfortable and soft big bed.

It was two days later when she stepped out of Yuhua Palace. On the way to Kunning Palace, when she saw Fu Erkang waiting there, fanning himself and looking cool, she felt disgusted and wanted to slam him into the wall.

"Ziwei, you've lost weight. You've been away for so long, and you're finally back. You don't know how much I worry about you every day. I can't eat or sleep well. Smallpox is so scary, why don't you take care of yourself? Do you know how worried we all are about you?"

Falcon looked at the girl in front of him affectionately, his eyes full of love, his tone gentle and worried, Ziwei felt so nauseous that she almost vomited.

Don’t you know how to cover up the calculations in your eyes?

"Falcon, I told you not to appear in front of me again. You want to ignore my words, right?" Ziwei looked around and saw a tall and big tree. She squinted her eyes and smiled.

Looking at her smile, Falcon felt itchy in his heart and didn't want to listen to her words anymore. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch that fairer and tenderer face.

Ziwei curled the corner of her mouth, and a thick vine appeared at Falcon's feet, tied her feet at an extremely fast speed, and then carried him towards the high branches.

"Ah--" Falcon's scream attracted a lot of people.

Ziwei looked at the man dangling in the air with satisfaction and said to the guards, "This Falcon has water in his brain. This will make it easier to drain it. Don't let him down until he's been hanging for five hours. Do you understand?"

"Hey--" Several guards responded excitedly. This guy, whose family background was not as good as theirs, was always showing off his power by relying on his relationship with Empress Ling. He even called himself Uncle Fu and did not take them, the descendants of the Eight Banners, seriously at all. They had disliked him for a long time.

The congestion from hanging upside down made Falcon very uncomfortable. "Ziwei, put me down first. It's not good for others to see me hanging like this."
