This time it was Chang Da who accompanied Little Yanzi out of the palace.

After Little Swallow came out of Qin Tianjian, for the first time, she didn't stay outside the palace, she rushed back to Shufangzhai to see Ziwei.Ziwei woke up early and was drinking the rice soup that Jinsuo prepared for her.Little Yanzi felt relieved when she saw her like this, and then turned to go to the study.

Ziwei called Xiao Yanzi to stop, saying that she couldn't get out of bed today, and asked Xiao Yanzi to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the empress instead.

Little Yanzi said: "That's not right, the emperor just accepted a new concubine yesterday, why bother to join in the fun today."

Ziwei was surprised and said: "Where did a new concubine come from? Tell me quickly."

Little Swallow smiled and said, "I'm not worried about your illness at all now. Your lips are cracked due to the high fever, so it won't stop you from chewing your tongue."

Little Swallow told Ziwei gossip, and she was a little wrong, and she didn't know the specific situation at the time.

Because of Hanxiang's incident, a moderate confrontation was triggered in the Compassion Ning Palace.

Ali and Zhuo dedicated their daughter to Qianlong, which was a kind of compromise and show of favor.Qianlong had no reason to refuse.Of course, he didn't want to refuse either.

Ali and Zhuo were defeated and came to Beijing to seek refuge. He could only send Hanxiang to the palace, but he had no capital to fight for any position for Hanxiang.This is very different from the situation of the Manchus and Mongols.

Seeing that Hanxiang is a foreigner, the queen mother used the precedent of the ancestors and the ancestors to compare Han women who did not raise the flag. No high position was granted, and Hanxiang was called a nobleman.For the sake of "Ali Hezhuo", a title is added above the nobleman to show her favor, and it is enough to confer her the title of "Heguiren".

Qianlong didn't think so.Hanxiang danced and was startled as a heavenly man.He wanted Feng Hanxiang to be a concubine.But he couldn't refute the queen mother clearly, so he had to use the name of harmony and common prosperity of the two clans.

Back and forth, the mother and son stuck together.

Concubine Ling knew how to wink, and when she heard them talking about Han Xiang, she immediately left and left.

The remaining queen can't go.She must participate in the harem concubine.

The queen waited until both the queen mother and Qianlong had said what she meant, she considered it for a while, then took a compromise method, and told Qianlong and the queen mother tactfully.

The empress didn't dare to refute the empress dowager first, so she had to say: "My concubine, please forgive me. The position of concubine is too important. In our dynasty, even the full Mongolian Gege, there is no example of concubine being appointed as soon as she enters the palace. Besides, please forgive me, your majesty." Thinking about it carefully, the youngest of these concubines is in his early thirties and has served the emperor for more than ten years, if you confer a concubine on a woman who has just entered the palace, I am afraid that people will not accept it, and it will be unfair."

The Empress Dowager listened with a smile on her jaw and said nothing.

Qianlong didn't speak when he heard the queen's words, because he knew that the queen's words had not been finished yet.

Sure enough, the queen said again: "Returning to the Lafayette, the concubine said: the Uighurs in Xinjiang must not be compared with the Han people. Long live God has always shown both kindness and power to the frontier. We have been sending troops in these years, and we have dealt enough blows. Now is a good opportunity , form marriages with them, and let the Uighurs far away in the frontier see that our Qing Dynasty is also tolerant. As long as you are willing to seek refuge, you can put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. This is the best way to win over, only for A 'noble person', if they know it, they won't say that it is our rule, but they will say that we are stingy, and we are not even willing to give it a higher title."

Hearing that the Queen's words were well-founded, Qianlong admired them in his heart, and jokingly said, "What the Queen said is fair. Unfortunately, what you say to the Uyghurs about 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately' is only a waste of effort. People don't believe that."

The queen wanted to laugh, but when she saw the queen mother was beside her, she dared not answer.

The queen mother looked at the queen and said, "According to the queen's wishes, what should I do?"

The queen said: "The concubine is terrified. Why don't you name her a 'concubine'. Then, according to Lafayette's intention, add a title as a favor, how about that?"

After listening, the Queen Mother nodded her head in agreement after a while.He said again: "It's okay to be with a nobleman, but it's not good to be with a concubine."

Seeing this, Qianlong quickly laughed and said that he had to bother the Queen Mother, and then rewarded him with a title.

The Queen Mother thought about it, smiled and said: "The so-called 'De Rong Yan Gong', it is enough to be named 'Rong Concubine'."

After all the discussions were over, Qianlong and the queen talked with the queen mother for a while, and when they saw that the queen mother was calm, they left.

Qianlong walked out of the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and laughed with the Queen: "The living habits of the Uighurs are different from ours. They have their own style of food and even daily life. Why don't we open up another place for Concubine Rong to live in? It's convenient for each other. Well."

The queen also laughed and said: "The emperor is thinking about it, but the concubine is negligent. Then, there is a large piece of land on the southwest corner, where there are only two vacant palaces and one building. The concubine will have someone to clean it up. Hurry up, and you can move in today.”

Qianlong said: "But, I also remembered that there is such a place." He laughed and said: "It's a pity that there is a scene but no name."

The queen smiled and said: "Then please give the name to the emperor, just let them make the shutter plaque."

Qianlong rubbed his palms together, laughed and said, "That's it. I'm going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first, and I'll let Xiao Fuzi deliver the words later."

The queen got into the sedan chair, returned to Kunning Palace, and immediately ordered people to prepare for Concubine Rong's residence.

It is also strictly ordered that the utensils used by Concubine Rong in daily life must be purchased by the clansmen who came with her, and no one from Kunning Palace is allowed to handle them, so as not to inadvertently offend and cause more troubles.

Nanny Rong looked at the empress' arrangement and knew that it was true that the empress said that she wanted to be like Empress Xiaoxian.

Xiao Fuzi came with some large sheets of paper. The queen opened them and saw that there were three big characters "Baoyue Tower" written horizontally.There are also a few vertically written ones, and the queen is too lazy to read them again.She asked someone to take it away immediately, and "Baoyue Tower" was made into a plaque and hung up.For other characters, just look at them according to the specific terrain.

After the queen finished speaking, she saw that Madam Rong was standing there hesitating to speak, she smiled and said: "A building like ours, if there are no plaques and couplets on it, it will lose a lot of interest, as if it lacks the finishing touch. No matter how beautiful the gardens and pavilions are, I always feel that things are not done yet.”

After finishing speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the air above her head, as if imagining the beautiful scenery of Baoyue Tower.

Mother Rong said: "Since the master is so devoted to Baoyuelou, why not make a 'Xiangfei' as the emperor wishes, after all, the power is stronger."

The queen said: "I need to learn about this Concubine Rong's abilities first."

The queen said to Nanny Rong again: "She is not capable enough, that's all. As a concubine, she is neither high nor low. If she is determined not to compete with the world, she can be safe and secure. If she is capable, it will be easier. The concubine is going to give birth in a few months, and Lafayette has returned to Beijing. No matter if the concubine gives birth to a boy or a girl, she will be promoted to be a noble concubine. Why don't I take advantage of this good time to seal the harem once. Rong It will be a good thing for her and me for my concubine to be a 'concubine Rong' again."

Mother Rong said: "What Your Majesty said is true."

The queen smiled and sighed again: "It's really boring."
