Long's joy and anger are closely linked, and after clarifying this point, Hanxiang is no different from other concubines, and began to learn to compete for Qianlong's favor in order to improve her status and get better treatment.

In the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong missed the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River and decided to tour the south, but the empress Ulanara was ill and could not accompany her.

Qianlong visited the Chen family in Haining, and the Chen family asked the fourth lady Chen Zhihua to perform a dance for the emperor. The accompanying concubines were naturally dumbfounded when they saw that Chen Zhihua's movement included raising their legs, but Qianlong admired Chen Zhihua very much. Zhihua, completely disregarding what he said just now that he and Chen Tinglun are friends, he hired Miss Chen Si that night.Miss Chen Si is good at housework, and she served Qianlong comfortably. The satisfied Qianlong ordered Miss Chen Si to be Ming Changzai the next day, and thoughtfully told Chen Zhihua to rest and recuperate. Someone came to pick her up.

As soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, some officials presented Xia Yingying, a famous prostitute.Xia Yingying has an outstanding appearance, is proficient in music and dancing, and has been raised as a skinny horse for many years. She understands men's minds well. She is neither humble nor overbearing to Qianlong.Qianlong is the son of heaven, whether it is the noble daughter of the Eight Banners drafted into the palace, or the Xiaojiabiyu Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake, the rich eunuch Haining and the daughter of the Chen family are all gentle and obedient in front of Qianlong, Xia Yingying treats herself like an ordinary guest. It made Qianlong feel fresh, and suddenly he had the desire to conquer, as if he had found the feeling of his youth again, he loved Xia Yingying very much, not only accompanied Xia Yingying every day, but also claimed that he would bring Xia Yingying into the palace and seal Xia Yingying For the imperial concubine.

The highest status of the concubines in the entourage is nothing more than the position of concubine. Seeing that a woman from a brothel who came from a lowly background wants to be a noble concubine and put it on her head, they are all jealous, especially the concubine Ling. However, Qianlong would not listen to them When the persuasion was exhausted, he recommended the most experienced concubine Ling to take the lead in asking Lin Anan.Lin An'an was happy to watch the show, so no matter how the concubines cried and complained, they didn't say a word.

Seeing that the empress dowager didn't say a word, the concubine felt that her position as the most favored concubine by Qianlong was in jeopardy, so she went to see Qianlong herself.She probably relied on Qianlong's love for her, and gave birth to Qianlong's youngest son, the fifteenth son of the emperor. Her waist became stiff. Seeing that Qianlong was very protective of Xia Yingying, she said that she had worked hard to serve Qianlong. In 20 years, she has been promoted step by step from a nobleman, and now she is just a concubine, and Xia Yingying is just a brothel girl who has never served the emperor, so she is suddenly named a noble concubine, which may cause criticism.

In the heart of Qianlong who admired her wholeheartedly, Xia Yingying was like a goddess. He absolutely could not tolerate anyone slandering Xia Yingying. Seeing that Lingfei dared to compare himself with Xia Yingying, he scolded Lingfei for being a slave in clothes. Being able to serve herself was already a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life, and she dared to bargain with herself. If she disliked the concubine position, she would deprive her of the concubine position. So this time, the one who was secretly escorted back to the capital from Hangzhou Yuqian became the concubine Ling.

(Returning Pearls) Through the Empress Dowager ([-])

Little Yanzi had already been secretly executed by Qianlong, but Xiao Jian who appeared from nowhere and claimed to be her brother was still alive and well.Knowing that his younger sister, Xiaoyanzi, died strangely shortly after entering the palace, Xiao Jian, who was suspicious, captured a young eunuch to threaten and lure him. After vomiting it all out, Xiao Jian's hatred for Qianlong went up to another level, and he vowed to avenge his family with his enemies.

He has been paying attention to Qianlong's movements, but it is a pity that Qianlong is in the palace, surrounded by a group of guards, and there is no certainty of victory in a rash assassination, so he has been waiting for the time to come.Knowing Qianlong's southern tour, Xiao Jian thought the opportunity had come, and followed Qianlong's chariots and boats all the way to Hangzhou.Seeing that Qianlong fell in love with a brothel girl, Xiao Jian scolded Qianlong for being a fool and obsessed with women, while secretly thanking himself that he found a chance to do it.

Through observation, Xiao Jian discovered that Qianlong had to meet Xia Yingying every day. On this day, because Xia Yingying slept a little longer in the afternoon, she did not go to Qianlong's dragon boat as usual in the afternoon. Qianlong waited eagerly for the beautiful woman's arrival in the dragon boat .Until the night was filled with darkness, Xia Yingying's boat sailed over gently, seeing Miss Xia's boat, the guards didn't dare to stop it, and immediately let it go, unaware that Xiao Jian was lurking in Xia Yingying's boat.

Qianlong waited for the beautiful woman for a long time, and saw her boat arrive from a distance, instead of letting Xia Yingying into his own dragon boat like the previous few times, he jumped into Xia Yingying's small boat impatiently, Xiao Jian was overjoyed when he saw this.

Qianlong and Xia Yingying were in love, Xiao Jian took advantage of Qianlong being teased by Xia Yingying, and made a sudden move. Qianlong was caught off guard and was stabbed.Seeing this, Xia Yingying screamed, and the guards who heard the movement quickly surrounded her. Seeing that she couldn't leave, Xiao Jian stomped her feet and cursed "God won't help me." An alert and thoughtful imperial guard named Su Yan threw his sword at Xiao Jian with just enough strength, and it hit Xiao Jian's shoulder. Xiao Jian lost his breath and fell into the water. The guard jumped into the water in a hurry and caught him.

Several guards brought Qianlong back to the dragon boat, and the accompanying imperial doctor arrived quickly.Fortunately, Qianlong's knife didn't hurt the vitals, but shed some blood, so it would be fine after a careful recuperation.

After Lin An'an got the news, he only summoned a few relatives and noble clans who accompanied him to tell the truth, and declared to the outside world that the emperor occasionally had a cold and needed to rest for a few days.

The emperor was assassinated right under his nose, which shamed many guards, and the censure of the clan made them even more angry. Fortunately, the assassin was caught, and the guards had a channel to vent their anger. The self-proclaimed tough guy Xiao Jian also failed to withstand the torture, and vomited out the reason for his assassination.

When Qianlong woke up, he learned that the assassin was Xiaoyanzi's brother, and the little Yanzi brothers and sisters were the descendants of the rebellious minister Fang Zhihang. The fifth son of the emperor, a decree was sent from Hangzhou Yuqian to the capital, and the fifth son of the emperor was revoked from his family status and deposed as common people for disobeying the holy will; the Fu family who once protected Little Swallow was also exiled by the whole family.Of course, Xiao Jian also failed to escape Qianlong's butcher's knife.

Such a thing as being assassinated made Qianlong, who always claimed to be a holy king, ruled a peaceful and prosperous world, and was deeply supported by all people, only felt that he had received an unusually loud slap on the face in front of everyone, and never heard of it again. The interest of the southern tour.The southern tour had no choice but to end in a hurry, and when Qianlong's health improved slightly, Sheng Jia set off for the palace.

Even though Qianlong was stabbed for meeting Xia Yingying, Qianlong was still unwilling to break up with her and insisted on taking Xia Yingying into the palace to accompany him. Lin Anan, under the banner of being sympathetic to the emperor's feelings, agreed without hesitation.

Chen Zhihua, who was anxiously waiting for the news of Qianlong in Haining, learned that Qianlong had acquired a new favorite in Hangzhou, and even made a brothel woman a noble concubine, his heart suddenly turned cold.But it's a done deal, and the king's order is hard to disobey, so he had to follow the attendants who came to pick him up to join the big army.

Although for the sake of Xia Yingying's status, Qianlong did not hesitate to demote his concubine Ling who had loved him for many years, in fact, Qianlong also knew that it was inappropriate to confer Xia Yingying a noble concubine rashly. After returning to the palace, Xia Yingying was not given a status, but only allowed to enjoy the treatment of a nobleman. In the Kangxi Dynasty, there were also precedents for women from Jiangnan to enter the palace as imperial concubines, but these people were all women from good families, and their backgrounds were stronger than Xia Yingying's. too much.Seeing that Qianlong doted on Xia Yingying so much, Ulanara was naturally not happy, but there was the imperial concubine Wei and the nobleman Hanxiang before, and she also saw that Qianlong was a person who was easy to be tempted and difficult to pay attention to, considering her status She is stable, and she is self-confident in her status, so she disdains to be an enemy of Xia Yingying, but treats Xia Yingying as nothing, and does not blame Xia Yingying.

When she was in Hangzhou, Xia Yingying's life was extremely carefree, mixing with men of all colors every day. After entering the palace, no matter how much Qianlong loved her, she was just a concubine. If you don't look directly at yourself, you don't even have a place to greet her every day. The status of the empress is stable, and the status of concubines, concubines, and concubines is higher than her own. She needs to salute and greet them. The arrogant Xia Yingying finds it hard to accept this. In fact, when she learned that the imperial concubine had prevented Qianlong from sealing herself, she kept crying to Qianlong.The beauty cried until Qianlong's heart was broken. In order to appease Xia Yingying, Qianlong made a decree to confiscate all the concubine's concubine edict, gold book and gold treasure, and Jin concubine's edict. The concubine first became a concubine, and then became Wei Guiren, Wei Changzai, and Wei Xuying. She was sent to the Buddhist hall for Qingxiu, and no one was allowed to serve her. The fifteen sons of the emperor were also handed over to Concubine Qing to raise them.Xia Yingying, who harbored a grudge, kept going to the Buddhist hall to provoke Wei. With her in the lead, all the low-ranking concubines who had been offended by Wei also flocked to add insult to injury.When the Wei family served Qianlong in the past, they passed the promise and were always there, and they were directly canonized as nobles from a wrapped court lady. The difference is that her youth is no longer there, and she no longer has the advantage to attract Qianlong.The lack of material supplies made her very unacceptable, and the mental blows followed one after another. So far, Wei's situation is even more difficult than that after the Ulanara family was abolished.The Ulanara family had completely given up on Qianlong back then, and had no love for things outside of him.
