Chapter 199: Is Han Qi not important?
Chapter 199: Is Han Qi not important?
"Xiang Jian, why are you here..."
"you are not……"
When Ruyi saw Hanxiang returning, she subconsciously asked her why she had left and come back.
"Have you, Her Majesty, met Han Xiang? Are you so familiar with her?"
Yan Wan already knew what Ruyi and Ling Yunche were planning yesterday. Although she never expected Ruyi to be so anxious and speak without thinking, Yan Wan seized this opportunity to see how Ruyi would defend herself.
Ruyi's eyes were fixed on Hanxiang's face. The palace dress Hanxiang wore yesterday only made her look pretty, but today she was wearing a snow-white dress from the Han tribe, which made her look even more lonely and aloof.
Yanwan's question seemed to stump Ruyi.
Fortunately, Rong Pei answered immediately.
"Your Highness has indeed seen Princess Xiangjian. You saw Princess Xiangjian's portrait a few days ago, so you recognized her at a glance."
Rong Pei's answer was not perfect, but it was barely acceptable.
Yanwan looked at Ruyi, she wanted Ruyi's own explanation.
Ruyi, who was originally sitting, stood up under Yanwan's gaze, walked into the hall, bowed and greeted the emperor who was also staring at her.
"Your Majesty, I have seen the portrait of Princess Xiangjian. I have met Princess Xiangjian."
Ruyi's words caused an uproar around her. Ruyi ignored the looks of others and continued:
"Your Majesty, not only have I met Princess Xiangjian, I also know that Princess Xiangjian has a childhood sweetheart with whom she is in love."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Ruyi's words are even more crazy than the previous one.
"Master, I'm afraid the money we prepared won't be of any use. The Queen is so crazy."
Chunchan was talking to Yanwan in a low voice.
Yesterday, Jinzhong brought Nanny Qian to talk about Hanxiang and Ruyi's discussion and Chunchan was scared. Unexpectedly, Ruyi gave them an even bigger scare today.
Yanwan looked at Ruyi teasingly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's see how far the queen can go."
After listening to Yanwan's instructions, Chunchan raised her head and continued to look in the direction of Ruyi.
Ruyi had just revealed that Hanxiang had a loved one, which had caused criticism from everyone in the palaces, but she was still talking.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangjian's husband died on his way to the Qing Dynasty in order to follow Princess Xiangjian.
The two of them are so affectionate, I really pity them, and I also ask Your Majesty to pity Princess Xiangjian."
Ruyi was met with the emperor's lecherous gaze at Han Xiangjian. When he turned to look at Ruyi, she could see a hint of hatred in the emperor's eyes.
Ruyi stared at the emperor in surprise and unwillingness.
The emperor wanted to severely punish Ruyi for her evil deeds, but when he saw Han Xiangjian, the emperor had to endure it.
"Queen, you are telling me what you are thinking. I don't think Princess Xiangjian means that."
The emperor already knew how worried Han Xiangjian was when she came back.
Hanxiang saw her tears rolling down her cheeks and pulled Ruyi.
"My Queen, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I can't leave.
I am not only Han Qi's widow, I am also the princess of the Han tribe. I am responsible for the Han tribe and its people."
Hanxiang explained to Ruyi in the most sincere manner, but Ruyi did not understand what Hanxiang said and broke free from Hanxiang's hand.
"Han Xiang, you stayed in Da Qing for the sake of the Han tribe, but what about Han Qi?
Isn't it important to be cold? "
Ruyi, who is obsessed with love, cannot understand how Han Xiangjian can put those unimportant things before love.
How could I abandon Han Qi?
Ruyi's words completely angered the emperor.
The emperor shouted angrily:
"Queen, what are you doing? You insist on instigating Xiang Jian to leave the palace. What are you thinking? Do you think I don't know?"
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked Han Xiang to meet you first."
The emperor's words made Ruyi look up in surprise. The emperor did this to keep Han Xiangjian, and he didn't even care about Ruyi secretly sending Han Xiang out of the palace.
"Queen, you should know your limits and go back to your seat."
After the emperor covered up for Ruyi and Hanxiang, he tried to shut Ruyi up and persuade her to go back.
But Ruyi is not the kind of person who would leave just because she is persuaded.
Ruyi, who was originally facing the emperor sideways, turned around and glared at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you have been ambitious throughout your life. Why do you act like a young man in your middle age?"
Ruyi knew that the emperor would be obsessed with Hanxiang, but she didn't expect the emperor to be obsessed to this extent.
Ruyi couldn't explain why she felt uncomfortable, but she just didn't want Hanxiang to stay in the palace. She tried her best to dissuade the emperor.
“Your Majesty, what you are asking is why the Emperor is only now in his middle age and is obsessed with Princess Xiangjian.
Of course it’s because the emperor has never met anyone he likes.
It's so hard to see the princess and win the emperor's favor, why are you so unwilling, Queen?"
Concubine Qing hated Ruyi and Hailan because she discovered that the Fifth Prince had a leg injury a few days ago.
Yongqi's leg injury had been there for a long time. When Yongqi came to her side, he had already shown symptoms. Ruyi and Hailan didn't know how they took care of Yongqi.
Now that she can go against Ruyi, Concubine Qing will certainly not let her go.
Ruyi's glaring eyes moved to Concubine Qing.
"Qingpin, what nonsense are you talking about.
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he has seen everything in the three palaces and six courtyards. If the emperor is obsessed with a princess like you said, what kind of person has he become?"
"Yes, Concubine Qing. When you say that, what do you think of the childhood sweetheart relationship between my sister and the emperor?"
Hai Lan couldn't bear to hear Concubine Qing criticizing Ruyi, so she stood up carefully and spoke to Concubine Qing.
He also mentioned the childhood sweetheart relationship between Ruyi and the emperor.
Faced with the two people's questioning, Concubine Qing just chuckled.
"Haha, Concubine Yu, the Queen is confused, are you confused too?
If the emperor still had a childhood sweetheart relationship with the queen, he would still be so infatuated with the princess.
Obviously not."
Concubine Qing's words really hurt Ruyi's heart.
Ruyi's eyes widened as she glared at Concubine Qing.
The more Ruyi acted like this, the happier Concubine Qing became, and the more she spoke harshly.
"My Queen, why are you looking at me like this?
You are old and ugly and no longer favor the emperor, but that is not something I can change.
You, just follow the emperor's lead and let Princess Xiangjian enter the palace.
You are not favored by the emperor, so you cannot prevent someone who is favored by the emperor from entering the palace."
Ruyi couldn't say a word in defense and could only stare at Concubine Qing.
As for the emperor, he just watched coldly. Listening to every word that Concubine Qing said, the emperor felt a sense of relief as if he had finally gotten rid of years of resentment.
Seeing that Concubine Qing had almost finished her speech, the Emperor said to Ruyi again:
"Empress, you are tired too, please go down. Concubine Chun will take care of the palace banquet."
As he said this, he looked at Han Xiangjian with a smile.
"Xiang Jian, I am very happy that you care about the Han tribe. I have decided to make you Han Concubine. You will live in Chengqian Palace.
From now on, the Qing Dynasty and the Han tribe will naturally be like you and me."
The emperor said as he stepped down from the dragon throne and tried to pick up Han Xiang.
Ruyi still stood there, waiting for the emperor to come over. Ruyi didn't want the emperor to see Xiang, so she blocked the way.
"emperor……"
Before Ruyi could say anything to dissuade her, Nanny Qian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Ruyi.
"Empress, please stop being confused, the Emperor won't listen.
You secretly sent the princess out of the palace yesterday, which is already a serious crime. Please don't make the emperor unhappy again."
