Scarlet Fang of the Pearl

If Qianlong was an old man, a middle-aged man with a big belly, then Hanxiang was sure that his heart would be stable and unshakable.But this man she wanted to offer her was so handsome and domineering, he ruled the world.So perfect, even more perfect than Meng Dan in her heart.And her father kept telling her that she had no way out for the sake of the tribe, and she had to sacrifice herself, otherwise, it would bring disaster to the tribe.

Feeling apprehensive, there was a faint sense of anticipation on the way forward.At this night banquet, because Qianlong never expressed interest in Hanxiang, Ali and Zhuo never had the opportunity to offer Hanxiang.But after returning to the place where they lived, Ali and Zhuo spoke well of Qianlong in front of Hanxiang.With Qianlong's appearance like this, Ali and Zhuo's previous feeling of being reluctant to sacrifice their daughter was completely gone.

But at the same time, he was also worried, "Hanxiang, the emperor seems to have no interest in you, so what should I do? If he doesn't accept you, does he have doubts about our sincerity in returning to Xinjiang? Well... People in the Qing Dynasty have always Cunning. Hanxiang, you should meet the emperor a few times before I leave, and try to make him interested in you. When Daddy is here, you are the noble princess of Huijiang, However, if daddy offers you up, then after I leave, you will be the most ordinary concubine without the emperor's favor. You can't neglect the queen mother and queen. The queen mother is the emperor's mother, and the queen is the emperor's son. First wife, they are in charge of the harem. If you can't get the emperor's favor and protection, then you must get along well with them..."

Ali and Zhuo worriedly asked Han Xiang to make a bunch of them, and Han Xiang had heard from it that no matter whether the emperor was interested in her or not, his father would definitely offer her up.The only difference now is whether it was the royal family's request, or their return to the Ministry to offer it on their own initiative.If you ask for it, it will naturally be more expensive, and you will be favored in the future; if you offer it, the price will drop a little, and you may not be favored in the future.These two sentences will make her future life go in two different directions.

But now, Hanxiang just nodded blindly, what she was thinking about was still her Mengdan.I don't know what happened to Meng Dan, whether he was injured seriously last time, and whether he will come again.Or, have given up.Now Hanxiang doesn't know whether she wants him to give up or continue to save her, a kind of contradiction pulls in her heart.

At the same time, in Qianqing Palace, Qianlong had a banquet, and several older brothers were summoned.Among them, Qianlong was more like their eldest brother than their father.

"Okay, there's no one else here, so get up." All the elder brothers responded and stood there quietly, behaved.

"Yongzhang, Yongxuan, Yongrong, you have been doing well in each other for a while, but you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be modest and prudent, you know?" Qianlong glanced at them majesticly.The three stood up together, "I would like to follow Huang Ama's teachings."

"Well, starting tomorrow, Yongzhang, you go to the Ministry of Officials, Yongxuan, you go to the Ministry of Rites, Yongxuan, you go to the Ministry of Industry. Yongxuan, this time the Ministry of Rites is still busy with Ali and Zhuo. Before he leaves, the Ministry of Rites has a heavy workload. , you have to be careful to ask the veterans there, you know?"

"Yes, Huang Ama!" The three of them thanked and retreated to the two sides, but their faces were filled with joy. Men still need careers.

"Yongxuan, you have reached the age to be able to do things. Starting tomorrow, you will have classes in the morning and study at the household department in the afternoon. Remember, it is study!" Yongxuan looked at Qianlong with shining eyes, and Qianlong also showed a smile Mind you, this kid is still a bit childish and needs to be honed.

"Yong Xing, you said before that you want to be a general in the future, right?"

"Yes, Huang Ama!" Xiao Yongxuan yelled loudly, making his brothers all smile.

"Okay, I allow you to study the art of war after you study part of Sinology. I hope you don't let me down." Yong Xing excitedly returned to his seat and stood up.In the end, only Yong Jing was left. Yong Jing was still young, and Qianlong didn't recruit him.

"Okay, you guys go down." To everyone's astonishment, Yong Xin didn't get any order or dispatch.After everyone had exited the Qianqing Palace, Solante happened to meet him.Only then did they remember that Huang Ama hadn't summoned his favorite prince.

"Yongyan? Huang Ama didn't summon you?" Yongyan was surprised to see so many of them coming out of Qianqing Palace together, "What's the matter?"

"Uh, the three of us were sent to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, Yongxuan went to the Ministry of Households to study, and Yongxuan started to learn the art of war. Huang Ama didn't...?" Yongzhang asked strangely.

"Huang Ama started to enslave you?" Sorante wasn't unhappy at all, but smiled gloatingly.Well, not a little bit, is very obvious gloating.

"..." The people surnamed Aixinjueluo were suddenly speechless.

Yongrong looked at Yongzhang and the others, shrugged his shoulders, "Well, we know why you have nothing to do. But..."

"But what?" Solante's eyes flickered, and Yong Xin looked particularly sad among the brothers, with a flash of understanding in his eyes.Patting Yongzheng on the shoulder, "Yongzhen, what you want to learn is not the art of war. Now your ability needs more training."

"Ninth brother, do you know?" Yong Xin raised his head and looked at Solante excitedly.

Solante pursed his lips and shushed with his ten fingers on his lips, "You will know when the time comes, this is a secret."

After speaking, Solante touched his head to say hello to everyone and left. All the brothers surrounded Yongxi, guessing endlessly about Solante's words.However, Solante had been living with Qianlong all along, and no one believed the news leaked from him.

"Have you met Yongzhang and the others?" Qianlong put down the memorial, and when he looked up, he saw Solante lightly about to play a prank.

Solante blinked, looked towards the roof, and pretended nothing happened, "Well, Yongxin looks pitiful."

"As an heir, he still needs to temper himself." Qianlong was not surprised at all.

"Have you chosen Yongzheng?" Seeing that Qianlong didn't want to care about it, Solante climbed onto Qianlong with a smile.

"Well, he has good aptitude and is still young, so there is still time to make some changes."

"Why did you make up your mind so quickly? I thought you still had a lot of plans..."

Qianlong closed his eyes, put down the vermilion pen in his hand, put his arm around Solante's waist, and squeezed his little ear with the other, "Didn't you say that this place is boring and you are going to travel around the world? So I cultivate a qualified heir, If you pass on the inheritance of your ancestors earlier, you can travel around the world with you."

Solante straightened up, looking at Qianlong with bright eyes, like a puppy.Qianlong smiled and kissed those blue eyes, "I also feel that this place is boring! There are endless memorials, endless things to deal with, and those women, my intuition tells me. If you don't plan early, you The little vinegar jar will be overturned sooner or later!" Holding the little bun's nose and shaking it from side to side, a certain bun was dissatisfied and bit Qianlong's finger, "No, I'm not so stingy!"

Is it true to see Qianlu? With questioning eyes, a certain steamed stuffed bun pouted, "Okay, only a little bit."

"Okay, go to sleep, don't you want to accompany me to see Ali and Zhuo tomorrow? That Princess Hanxiang will be there too! If you haven't woken up when I come back, then I will have to go alone I." Qianlong put his finger into Solante's mouth.Xiao Baozi's canine teeth gently crushed his fingers, slowly sucking blood from them.

When it was over, Sorant threw himself limply on Qianlong, "You still want to approve the memorial? Then I will stay here with you, you are more comfortable than the bed..." He yawned lazily, and the little bun stopped What Li Qianlong said, he stuffed himself into his neck, and wrapped his waist tightly.

Qianlong didn't say anything anymore, just indulged in patting Xiao Baozi's back lightly, helping him fall asleep in his arms.

The next day, the sky was clear and sunny.But for the blood race, this is not a good weather, just as annoying as the cloudy sky for ordinary people.

"I have met Huang Ama, please greet Huang Ama." With a smile on his face, Sorant ran over by himself when Qianlong was in court.

"Come on," Qianlong waved to him with a smile, and said to Ali and Zhuo, "Ali, this is my ninth elder brother. You met yesterday."

Ali and Zhuo, who are rumored to be the most favored elder brother, looked carefully at each other, then pulled Hanxiang and greeted Yongyan.Although Ali and Zhuo met him at the dinner yesterday, they didn't speak to him, and now it's the official introduction.

Hanxiang followed her father, and took this opportunity to look at Solante carefully, but found that this elf-like handsome and lovely child, like his father, didn't even look at her.

"Hanxiang has met Brother Nine." Hanxiang crossed her hands and bowed slightly in return, and Solante also politely replied, and her eyes were immediately glued to Qianlong again.In fact, as long as these two people are in the same place, most of their attention will be on each other. This is not intentional neglect, but just getting used to it.

At the request of Ali and Zhuo, Qianlong placed wine in the imperial garden, and the little eunuch next to them filled up the wine for several people.Qianlong stopped him when he arrived at Solante, "There is no need for Yongyan, go and exchange him for juice."

"Hey, don't." Solante stopped the little eunuch, turned to Qianlong and said, "Huang Ama, I'm old enough to drink!" As he spoke, his subordinates still shook Qianlong's hand.Unmoved, Qianlong gave the little eunuch a wink, and the little eunuch immediately went down to change the juice.Little Baozi hummed in dissatisfaction, Qianlong laughed at Ali and Zhuo, "Look at him, he doesn't look like an adult, just drink your juice obediently!"
