His words made Hongli's eyebrows move. Polonidu's words were right. Qiluo represented not only herself, but also the entire Hui tribe. Accepting her would be equivalent to accepting the Hui tribe, making the two of them close and seamless from now on.
Moreover, Qiluo amazes him with both her appearance and dancing posture. He is really moved by such a woman.
After some consideration, Hongli said: "Okay, I will accept Qiluo, make her my concubine, and give her a title..." Staring at Qiluo's outstanding appearance, a title jumped out, "Rong!"
Qiluo knelt down happily and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After her, the two Polonidus also thanked her gratefully. That night, they were left in the palace to have a banquet. As for Qiluo, Hongli opened the Chuxiu Palace for
She lived there and held the canonization ceremony on December 19th.
The harem can be said to be the place with the most secrets, but it is also the place where the most secrets cannot be hidden. This matter quickly spread throughout the East and West Palaces, and everyone had different reactions to it. Some were curious, and some were even jealous.
Since Hongli ascended the throne, except for those in Qiandi, there has never been a woman who has taken the throne as soon as she entered the palace.
The woman made an exception, so how could they be convinced? Driven by such thoughts, each of them tried their best to inquire about Qiluo. When they found out that she was dancing in front of the temple, emitting a strange fragrance that attracted butterflies, they all secretly scolded her.
Humei Luozhu is basically a vixen, especially after knowing that Qiluo's appearance is stunning, his jealousy is even greater.
They didn't dare to speak in front of Hongli, so they came to Yanxi Palace one by one and told Xianyue about all the shortcomings of this Fan woman, and asked Xianyue to advise Hongli and send Qiluo back, not to stay in the palace.
.
After they were comforted and ordered to go back one by one, Xianyue leaned on the bedside with her eyes closed and her face was a little pale. Zhichun came over lightly and said: "Master, the ginseng soup is stewed. You can drink it while it's hot."
After Xianyue drank the ginseng soup, she asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling better?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."
Hearing this, Zhichun said angrily: "It's all Zhang Guiren's fault. Since he doesn't want to let the concubine enter the palace, he should go and tell the emperor himself. He doesn't dare, but let the master do it. It's really too much.
.”
Seeing her angry look, Xianyue said funnyly: "Okay, they are just that kind of people, why are you angry with them?"
"I'm just so angry." After saying this, Zhichun said angrily: "The same goes for the emperor. Why did he accept a woman from the Tibetan country into the palace for no reason? And he caused a lot of troubles for no reason. Is it possible that in the palace?
Aren’t there enough empresses and nobles?”
Xianyue's face darkened slightly, "You girl, the more you talk, the more you go too far. Are you allowed to interfere with the Emperor's affairs? If anyone hears it, it should be said that I can't even discipline a servant."
Zhichun lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."
Seeing her like this, Xianyue sighed and said: "I know that you feel sorry for me, but some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. For example, even if the emperor doesn't like Concubine Rong, she will still accept her.
She entered the palace and was made a concubine."
This sentence made Zhichun and Qi Kuan feel strange. The former couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is this? Would the emperor still choose a concubine he doesn't like to be by his side?"
"Because she is a girl from the Hui tribe." This sentence was not said by Xianyue, but came from outside. Zhichun and Qi Kuan were shocked when they heard the sound, and quickly knelt down and said: "Kowtow to the emperor."
The person who spoke was none other than Hong Li. He strode in, glanced at the two people who were full of fear, and said coldly: "You are so courageous, talking about me behind my back?"
"My slave deserves to die, please forgive me!" Zhichun complained in his heart, never expecting that Hongli would suddenly appear.
Hongli stopped in front of her and said with a straight face: "After all, you are also an old man in the palace. I ask you, what is the crime of criticizing the king?"
Zhichun Zhan said tremblingly: "In the lightest case, you can be punished with a stick, and in the most serious case, you can be executed."
"Then tell me, how should I deal with you?" Hongli's voice was so condensed that it made Zhichun panic. At this moment, Xianyue chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, don't scare Zhichun.
Once I frighten her out of my wits, I will have no one around to help me."
These words were like the spring breeze in March, instantly removing the chill from Hongli's face, and he said with a smile: "You are always protecting her like this. No wonder she is getting bolder and bolder, and she even dares to take matters into my own hands."
talk."
Xianyue said with a smile: "The one who protects her is not my concubine, but you, the emperor. You are not really angry with Zhichun at all, but you are just deliberately scaring her."
Hearing this, Hongli laughed loudly and said: "That's all, I really can't hide anything from you. Sometimes I really wonder if you have the ability to see through people's hearts."
Xianyue smiled and said to Zhichun, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Why don't you thank the emperor for your grace?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Xie En stood up, Zhichun secretly raised her eyes to look at Hongli. Unexpectedly, the latter was staring at her and quickly lowered his head.
Her appearance made Hongli very funny, and he said: "Do you want to ask me why, because Rong Bin is a girl from the Hui tribe, I still want to stay by my side even if I don't like her?"
Zhichun gritted his teeth and said boldly: "Yes, I don't understand very much."
Hongli smiled slightly, sat down in front of the bed and said, "Xiayue, do you understand?"
"The forces in southern Xinjiang have always been a serious concern for the emperor. Among them, the troops of the Hui tribe are the strongest. Once they cause trouble, they will cause chaos. In order to avoid war, the emperor must try to win over them, and marriage is the best way."
Hongli nodded approvingly and said: "What you said is exactly what I thought, but when I saw Qiluo today, I was really surprised."
"I heard that Concubine Rong is stunningly beautiful, has outstanding dancing skills, and also has a strange fragrance. I think that when the Emperor sees her, he will be extremely surprised."
Hongli looked at her funny and said, "What's wrong, is the imperial concubine jealous?"
"Concubine, why don't you..." Before she could finish speaking, Hongli had already held her hand and said, "If you want to talk about stunning things, the Imperial Concubine has given me the deepest surprise. No one else can compare to you."
Xianyue lowered her head and smiled: "When did the emperor become so good at coaxing people?"
"What I said is true." After saying this, Hongli turned and said, "Actually, you and I met Rong Bin more than a month ago."
Xianyue looked at him in surprise and said, "Really? Why do I have no impression at all?"
"Have you forgotten about the night when A Luo and Fu Heng got married?" Under Hongli's reminder, Xianyue remembered what happened that night and said in great surprise: "You mean the woman who sang in the middle of the night?
?”
"It's her." Hongli said with a smile: "When I saw butterflies flying on the street that night, they were chasing the fragrance emanating from her body. Even on such a cold day yesterday, there were butterflies flying. It was really shocking.
Surprised." As he said that, Hongli told the story of Qiluo's arrival in the capital more than a month in advance.
