Chapter 196 Dress Up
Chapter 196 Dress Up
I didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear and spoil the mood.
Jingyan frowned, but remained composed. She stood up and nodded slightly.
"What Empress Jia said is a bit too serious. Besides, Empress Jia, don't you know that the Emperor has already made Concubine Xiang a concubine? How can you still call her Princess?"
Jiapin snorted coldly: "It was only a verbal appointment. There was no ceremony for the appointment. I will report this to the Emperor. It is not certain whether I can still enter the palace as a concubine."
Jingyan was too lazy to bother with such people, but the Empress Dowager was now worried about the special situation of Concubine Xiang, and Jingyan was afraid that she would have a bad impression of Hanxiang after knowing it.
"You are wrong, Lady Jia. Lady Xiang is now the envoy of peace between the Qing Dynasty and the Hui people. Besides, the Emperor's words are golden. How could he withhold the title just because of a single word from you?"
Jiapin naturally knew this, which was why she was jealous.
Hanxiang was afraid that Jingyan would offend Concubine Jia because of her, so she stepped forward and said, "My lady, I don't know you, but we are just having fun and haven't done anything wrong. We haven't disturbed you either, so why don't we just leave each other alone?"
Unexpectedly, when Jiapin heard this, she looked at her with even more contempt.
"Tsk, who knows if you're secretly using some kind of sorcery? Maybe the two princesses have been bewitched by you and are now speaking up for you."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qing said, "No wonder I've been feeling dizzy, chest tightness, and shortness of breath since just now. I wonder if it wasn't some evil spell you cast on me!"
Seeing that the two people's words were getting more and more excessive, Jingyan was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Qing'er stepped forward and gently patted Jingyan's hand, signaling her to calm down. She turned and said, "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager specifically instructed the concubines to treat Concubine Xiang well and not cause trouble. Has Concubine Jia forgotten today? Why don't we go to the Empress Dowager and have a final say?"
When he heard that they were going to find the Old Buddha, Jingyan looked at Qing'er anxiously. Qing'er was confused. If the matter was brought to the Old Buddha, the Old Buddha might be even more afraid of Hanxiang when he knew the situation.
Qing'er smiled slightly: "Or you can find the emperor."
Everyone knows how crazy the emperor is about Concubine Xiang. Do you still dare to go to the emperor and ask for a beating?
These two people have always been favored by Karl Lagerfeld, so if she goes to Karl Lagerfeld, she may not help her.
Jiapin knew that she would get nothing good from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so she turned around and went to Jingren Palace to complain to the Queen.
"Hmph! The Empress will definitely not tolerate people like you causing trouble in the palace!"
Seeing the two of them running away, Hanxiang felt a little worried: "If she goes to complain to the Queen, will it affect you? I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Jingyan took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the Emperor's aunt is a very good person."
Qing'er nodded. "Actually, the Empress Dowager and the Empress are both very kind people. Whenever you want to meet them, we can accompany you to pay your respects. They will definitely like you as much as we do."
Thinking about what Jiapin had just said, Hanxiang smiled bitterly: "Perhaps, I should go and pay my respects to the old Buddha. As for the Empress, I will pay my respects to her formally on the day I am officially canonized."
After hearing Hanxiang's words, Jingyan realized that Hanxiang didn't seem to object to the canonization.
"Okay, Qing'er and I grew up under the care of the old Buddha. Let's go back to Baoyue Tower and we'll introduce the old Buddha to you."
Qing'er nodded: "Yes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles."
Along the way, Jingyan and Qing'er talked to Hanxiang about the old lady.
When Hanxiang learned that the Buddha had gone to Mount Wutai to practice asceticism for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, she sighed with emotion: "I used to be a little afraid of the Buddha, but now I know she is such a kind and great person, I admire her a little bit."
Qing'er smiled and nodded. "To be honest, I'm afraid you're a bit like the Empress Dowager in some ways. You're both people who sacrificed yourself for the people."
Hanxiang nodded, and she suddenly understood something, the significance of doing these things well.
"By the way, Hanxiang, the old Buddha is actually quite particular about rules. Do you think you could temporarily learn the Qing Dynasty's way of greeting? Perhaps the old Buddha would be very happy to see your sincerity."
Hanxiang readily agreed: "Of course, since we are going to pay our respects, we should do these things well."
Qing'er and Jingyan taught Hanxiang how to etiquette, but it always felt awkward.
Jing Yan: "Hanxiang, maybe we're just used to seeing you perform the Hui tribe ceremony, or maybe it's because of your clothes, but it just feels weird. Why don't you try wearing something similar to what we wear?"
Qing'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard Jingyan's cautious test.
Fortunately, Hanxiang accepted the suggestion naturally: "Then I'll try it. If it's suitable, I'll wear the Manchu dress when I pay my respects tomorrow."
yeah!
Jingyan secretly gave herself a "yeah" in her heart. She was really smart. Hahahaha!
Qing'er smiled slightly and asked Jin Lingzi to find the Manchu dress that the emperor had prepared for Hanxiang.
Jin Lingzi and Yin Lingzi didn't know how to wear the clothes, but fortunately Jing Yan had the palace maid Nian'er with him.
The little palace maid helped Hanxiang change her clothes and combed her hair into a simple bun. By the time Hanxiang was done, she looked completely different.
Jingyan and Qing'er exclaimed, "Hanxiang, it's true that beauties look beautiful in anything they wear. You look absolutely stunning like this."
Hanxiang stood in front of the mirror for a long time and was very satisfied with her outfit. It was not as awkward as she had worried about. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was worried that it would look out of place on me."
“Not at all, it looks super good!”
In addition, Hanxiang has been learning dancing since she was a child and has a strong ability to balance her body. She adapted to the flower pot bottom after just walking for a while, which attracted another round of praise from Jingyan and Qing'er.
No one doesn't like to be praised, especially the sincere praise from their friends. Hanxiang has been lost in the free but abundant praise from Jingyan and Qing'er.
"Tomorrow morning I'll have to trouble you to send Miss Nian'er over to help me change my clothes and comb my hair."
Seeing that Hanxiang accepted it well, Jingyan was very happy. "Of course. Don't worry, I will definitely let Nian'er come to you as soon as possible."
In Jingren Palace, Jiapin had already finished her complaint, crying.
"Empress, please take care of this. Otherwise, I'm afraid that not only the Emperor, but also the princesses, princes, and Empress Dowager will be bewitched by this Princess Hanxiang."
The Queen didn't think that Concubine Xiang had such great ability, but she knew about Concubine Jia's little thoughts.
"Alright, this matter will be handled by me and the old Buddha. If you don't provoke her, Jingyan won't provoke you. Go back to the palace and don't cause any more trouble."
"Are we just going to watch her perform these seductive tricks and do nothing?"
The Queen didn't believe in any witchcraft. She sighed and said, "I will find out more about this matter."
"Your Majesty!" Jiapin wanted to say something, but the Queen had no interest in listening anymore.
"Okay, I understand." Jiapin could only withdraw reluctantly.
After everyone left, Rong Mama stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to discipline this Fragrant Concubine? Or are you going to go find the Old Buddha?"
"No matter what, I don't know who Xiang Fei is, but I know Jing Yan, Qing Er, and Jiapin very well."
It must be that Jiapin was fed up with the argument and was looking for trouble, but she couldn't win the argument, so she came to her.
Since Jingyan and Qing'er can be on good terms with Xiang Fei, it means that Xiang Fei at least has good intentions.
"Your Majesty is so wise!"
Of course, no matter what the queen said, it was the best in Rong Mama's eyes.
