Chapter 191 The Dispute at Baoyue Tower
When Jingyan and Qing'er walked out, they saw the old lady sitting alone at the table, sighing.
Jingyan stepped forward and took Old Buddha's arm, "Old Buddha, what are you thinking about?"
Qing'er also walked forward with concern and sat next to the old lady.
Looking at the two children who cared about her, the Empress Dowager sighed again. "I've always been a little worried about this Fragrant Concubine. The Hui tribe presented a woman as a gift to the emperor, and he became so obsessed with her. I'm worried there might be some conspiracy behind this."
Jingyan understood. The Empress Dowager had always been worried that Xiang Fei had other intentions. That was why she was so furious after Xiang Fei accidentally injured the emperor. She was willing to execute Han Xiang to ensure that the emperor would not be deceived or harmed.
"My Lord, Qing'er doesn't think that Concubine Xiang is a vicious person. Besides, the Hui tribe sent her all the way from Xinjiang to Beijing in order to establish good relations with our Qing Dynasty."
Jing Yan nodded repeatedly: "Since the Hui people regard the Fragrant Concubine as a treasure, yet they offer it to our Qing Dynasty, it shows that Ali Khoja is sincere. They only want to seek the protection of our Qing Dynasty and will not dare to cause any trouble."
What Qing'er and Jingyan said made sense, but the old lady was particularly concerned about one thing: "You also know that this Fragrant Concubine has a strange fragrance. How can someone carry a fragrance on their body? I am also worried that it is a photo of a demon."
When Jingyan watched the drama before, he actually thought it was the body odor of the Fragrant Concubine, but after actually seeing the Fragrant Concubine, he realized that she really smelled good.
There is no way to explain or research where this fragrance comes from. It can only be proved to be a dream.
"My Lord, the world is full of wonders. Before we first met Painter Lang and Benjamin, didn't we also not believe that there were people in the world born with blonde hair and blue eyes? The Fragrant Concubine is just a little special, she's no different from us ordinary people."
Qing'er's words really touched Jingyan's heart. She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Old Buddha. Yan'er thinks this further proves the specialness of the Fragrant Concubine. After all, it is also a good omen in the Hui tribe."
Seeing the two girls trying their best to speak well of Hanxiang, the old lady knew that they didn't want to make her worry, but her worries could not be dispelled by just a few words.
"How about this, Hanxiang has just entered the palace and I think she is not used to the life in the capital. You two girls should go spend more time with her. Of course, if you find anything unusual, you must not hide it from me. Report it immediately."
This was exactly what Jingyan was thinking. She had been thinking about how to find an excuse to contact Princess Hanxiang.
Jingyan smiled and stood at attention: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
The old lady couldn't help laughing and tapped Jingyan's forehead, "You naughty monkey, I don't count on you. Qing'er is careful, Qing'er, you should pay more attention."
"As you wish, Lord Buddha, we will go then."
After saying that, Qing'er dragged Jingyan, who was addicted to acting, straight to Baoyue Tower.
This Baoyue Tower was prepared by the emperor for Xiang Fei. The decoration inside is all in Xinjiang style. Even the windows upstairs face the direction of Xinjiang, so that Han Xiang can look out when she misses home.
I have to say that if the emperor really wants to pamper someone, he will be very attentive.
But things were not peaceful in Baoyue Tower at this time.
The emperor has been rejected so many times that his patience has run out.
"Hanxiang, what are you so upset about? You've been in the palace for so many days and you only speak when your father comes to see you. You refuse to say a word to me."
"Don't think that just because you are a princess of the Hui tribe, I will obey you in every way. If you still don't obey, I will chop off your head."
But Hanxiang still had that cold expression on her face, and the emperor's patience was gradually worn out. He was a little mad: "Speak up, I can't stand you like this. What are you dissatisfied with?"
The emperor was almost driven crazy by Hanxiang's scent. He did everything he could, but Hanxiang just refused to speak.
Suddenly thinking of something, the emperor asked, "Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you need me to find an interpreter for you?"
Seeing that the emperor really intended to find an interpreter, Hanxiang finally spoke.
"No need for a translator, I understand. My father trained me to speak Chinese so that I could dedicate myself to you. I understand everything you've said these days, including your promise."
The emperor was puzzled: "Then why are you still feeling awkward?"
"Your Majesty, I tell you frankly, coming to the capital was not my original intention. My father believed that my birth with a fragrance must have its own meaning. He believed that I was not an ordinary woman, but a messenger of peace."
"He was determined to send me here. I couldn't disobey my father, so I came. But my heart wasn't here. It was still in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, where I was born and raised."
Hearing these words, the emperor's accumulated anger suddenly dissipated. He felt a little sorry for the woman in front of him. It was all right, he was anxious. She came all the way here, so it was possible that she couldn't accept it for a while.
The emperor sighed and said, "So you mean that although you have come to Beijing in obedience to your father's wishes, you do not intend to dedicate yourself to me?"
Hanxiang: "Now that I'm here, I'll prepare my father and dedicate myself to you, but I can't control my heart, and you can't control my heart either."
The emperor did not like to force others, and he really liked Hanxiang.
"I understand what you mean. You just arrived, so it's normal that you can't adapt for the time being. I can wait until you open your heart."
After saying this, the emperor was about to leave, but happened to meet Ziwei who came in.
Ziwei looked at the emperor with the eyes of a heartless man, which made the emperor very unhappy.
The emperor had a headache, not knowing what his daughter was going to do next.
"What are you here for?"
When Jingyan and Qing'er approached Baoyue Tower, they heard noisy sounds coming from inside.
Ziwei shouted, "Father Emperor, are you going to betray Concubine Ling for this princess?"
The emperor was very annoyed. Now his daughter dared to interfere in everything he did?
The emperor was embarrassed and scolded, "You are really becoming more and more unruly. You dare to meddle in my affairs!"
Ziwei's crying voice was heard again: "Father Emperor, you are not only sorry for Concubine Ling, but also for Concubine Yu, and even more sorry for my mother!"
The emperor was already upset after being humiliated by Xiang Fei, and when he saw Zi Wei accusing him, he roared, "I think you are really crazy. Go back to your Shufangzhai!"
Jingyan and Qing'er looked at each other and asked, "Do we still want to go in?"
"Let's go, Hanxiang must be scared, let's go and take a look."
Sure enough, the next second, Ziwei ran out crying, and glared at Jingyan and Qing'er when she passed by them.
Jing Yan was puzzled: "Are you sick? We didn't recruit you."
Ziwei paused and said, "Aren't you here to call the Emperor crazy? I hope you can maintain your integrity and not abandon your conscience just to please the Emperor."
