Chapter 5(1/3)

On that day, Ali and Zhuo arrived at the Forbidden City with his Princess Hanxiang.

The palace gate was wide open, and drums and music were heard. Qianlong brought the prince, prince, prince and ministers to welcome the hall.

As Uyghur music was playing, Ali and Zhuo took the lead. The team, horse team, flag team, band, camel team, beauty team, and guard walked into the palace gate one by one. Among the huge team, the most eye-catching thing was the exotic sedan chair. The sedan chair was hexagonal with six golden pillars, and above the pillars were blue gold-cut roofs. Under the top of the sedan chair, there was no door, and white veil floating like snow. In the white gauze tent, Hanxiang was wearing red Uyghur clothes, white down headdress, and a silk scarf covered his mouth and nose, sitting upright in the middle of the car. Two Uyghur maids, one purple dress, sat beside Hanxiang. Hanxiang's clothes fluttered, without looking sideways, and sat there like a beautiful picture. Qianlong was involuntarily attracted by this picture.

The carriage and horses stopped. Ali and Zhuo dismounted, and the sedan chair stopped. Vina and Gina helped Hanxiang down.

Hum and Zhuo, with Hanxiang and all the teams, knelt down and said:

"My Me Ali, please see the Emperor! Long live my emperor!"

All the followers shouted in a crowd:

"Long live my emperor!"

Qianlong welcomed forward with great momentum.

"Ali and Zhuo don't give great gifts, come from afar, thank you for your hard work!"

Ali took a step back and brought Hanxiang to Qianlong.

"This is the little girl Hanxiang."

Hanxiang crossed her hands on her chest, bent down to perform the Hui ceremony, and said:

"Hanxiang pays homage to the Emperor!"

Qianlong suddenly felt a strange fragrance, as if he was in a world full of flowers. The fragrance, like the combination of osmanthus and jasmine, was fragrant but not sweet, fragrant but not harsh, fragrant but not harsh, fragrant and drunk. Qianlong was extremely surprised. Could it be that Zhaohui said that it was the fact that the Uyghur famous "Princess" was a fact? He looked at Hanxiang curiously, but saw the scarf half-covered, but could not hide the charming beauty. The pair of crystal eyes, half-melancholy and half-sorry, looked at him quietly. Qianlong and Hanxiang's eyes met, and his heart was waving for no reason. He hurriedly closed his mind and said to Ali and Zhuo:

"What spice did Ali and Zhuo bring? How could it have such a wonderful fragrance?"

"The little girl came to bring Qixiang, so she named her Hanxiang."

Qianlong confirmed his guess and looked at Hanxiang in surprise.

"Oh? So this is the famous 'Princess Xiang'!" Qianlong was very interested and wanted to take a closer look at Hanxiang, but Hanxiang had already lowered his head. Qianlong turned around and introduced: "These are my sons! Those are princes and ministers!"

Yongqi and Erkang also stood among the crowd, bathing in surprise in the strange fragrance. Yongqi led the princes to greet him and bent down to salute:

"Welcome to Ali and Zhuo and Princess Hanxiang!"

Qianlong shouted happily:

"Everyone should not be too polite! Go to the palace to give me a banquet!"

That night, there was a grand welcome party on the large stage of the palace. The stage was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively.

There were many tables under the stage, and almost all of them attended the grand event, from the empress dowager to the princess and princesses. Qianlong, Ali and his princes were sitting at the middle table. The empress dowager led the empress, Ling and other concubines sat at the table. Qing'er was still sitting next to the empress dowager.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, and the princesses sat together.

Yongqi, Erkang and the prince belle sat at another table.

On the stage, Qianlong lit a lively "Making a Fight in Heaven", and Sun Wukong was rolling on the stage. Gongs and drums were ringing loudly. Ali had never seen such a play before, and he kept applauding. Everyone clapped and applauded.

Yongqi and Erkang sat together. Yongqi looked at Qing'er and whispered to Erkang: "Did you 'record' about Qing'er?"

"I've said it! It's 'recorded', which made Ziwei think about it and even cried." Erkang replied.

"Oh! Women are really elusive." Yongqi said in confusion, "You are attracted by many people. It should be her pride. How could you cry?"

"Don't say it easily. If this princess of Huijiang likes you, look at what will happen to Xiaoyanzi."

Yongqi immediately became uneasy and said:

"It won't be that coincidence! You may be a little bigger if you fall in love with you!"

"How could this happen? Both brothers were chosen by others?" Erkang immediately became uneasy, "Anyway, I hid far away this time and just didn't stand out!" "The big fuss in the Heavenly Palace" had been finished, and the actor knelt all over the ground, shouting long live the mountain.

Qianlong applauded and shouted happily:

"reward!"

A eunuch had already given him a reward. The actor gave him a thank-you and retreated.

Ali turned to look at Qianlong and said:

"The following is the dance given to the emperor by the little girl! It is our national dance, vulgar and simple, and it is not respectful. Please take a look at it!"

Qianlong was smiling and full of interest.

At this time, the band changed back to others. Hui music suddenly rang out, and everyone felt novel and were all excited.

On the stage, many powerful men with Kong Wu, wearing red vests, danced with drums. The drums rumbling, and the dancers leaped all over the stage, full of "power", making people dazzled. Then, Hanxiang was carried out by several warriors, and they were all white, still half-covered with white veil. When they arrived at the center of the stage, Hanxiang landed gracefully. Under the support of many male dancers, they danced gracefully with the music.

The sound of drums and horns is full of exotic atmosphere, with a graceful fragrance, and the dancing is very beautiful. The white gauze is like snow. Among the many men, there is the charm of women, which is outstanding and graceful.

The Queen Mother was stunned and said to Qing'er:

"This dance back to Xinjiang is really different from ours! I never knew that men could dance too!"

Qing'er looked on the stage, nodded and explained:

"Laofu, they designed it specially! 'Strength' and 'Softness' are both beauty, and they cleverly combined these two beauty! With 'Strength' as ​​a foil, the 'Softness' will be even more prominent. We have an idiom saying 'Softness can overcome hardness', and that's probably what it is!"

The queen hurriedly praised:

"Qing'er is so smart! We will understand it only after giving you this explanation! It's true!"

The Queen Mother looked at Qing'er with pampering eyes, interface:

"It turns out that this dance also requires 'knowing' to watch'!"

"Thank you, Lafayette and the Queen!" Qing'er smiled.

The empress dowager looked at Qing'er and couldn't help but turn to see Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi.

Xiaoyanzi stared at the stage intently, staring in a daze, and couldn't help but jump up and shout:

"Oh! That Princess Hanxiang is so beautiful, amazing!"

Ziwei hurriedly held her down and said warningly:

"Just just appreciate it, don't be so excited. Master Lao Fu is watching us there!" Xiao Yanzi quietly glanced at the Queen Mother and said with a pout:

"She is so strange. If she doesn't watch such a beautiful dance, what do we do?" Ziwei was very uneasy. She went to see Qing'er from time to time. Seeing her talking and laughing with the Queen Mother, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Xiaoyanzi sniffed and asked Ziwei:

"Did you smell a strange scent?"

Ziwei came to her senses, took a deep breath and said:

"I heard from Erkang that this princess is very famous in Xinjiang and is the most beautiful beauty in Xinjiang. She is also 'unique'. Without incense, she will naturally bring fragrance! "Little Swallow was so surprised and asked:

"Really? Can we buy two of this 'What kind of cake from Tianfu'?"

Ziwei couldn't help but smile when she heard Xiaoyanzi explain "genius talent" as "the cake of Tianfu". Xiaoyanzi didn't know what she was laughing at, so she followed her foolishly. The empress dowager cast dissatisfied gaze at Ziwei's table.

The queen seized the opportunity and quickly said to the queen mother:

"Laofu, have you seen it? In this kind of occasion, the folk princess is not as good as the genuine princess! Talk and laugh, point fingers, and there is no moment of silence!"

The queen mother nodded without saying a word. Concubine Ling glanced at the queen. Faced with such provocation, she dared to be angry but not speak out. In her heart, she really made a cold sweat for Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi.

Qianlong was so selfless about Qianlong's table that he stared at the stage and said to Ali:

"Ali and Zhuo! You princess, I have heard General Zhao Hui mention it several times! It's better to meet than to be famous. It's really not as beautiful as a woman in the world! The beauty I think I've seen has been in a car, but this is the first time I have seen a person like Hanxiang!"

Ali smiled and said:

"She is my most precious daughter and also the treasure of our Uyghur people. When she was born, the sky was full of colorful clouds and the fragrance was filled with it. Our astrological family said that the nobles from Hui tribe were born!"

Qianlong stared at Hanxiang, his eyes fixed on him:

"Yeah?"

The fragrant dance becomes more vivid and more graceful as the dance becomes, and the music becomes more and more intense.

After a fierce and wonderful dance, Hanxiang suddenly danced to the middle of the stage and crawled on the ground towards Qianlong. The male dancers all knelt down neatly, and the music stopped.

Qianlong was fascinated by it, and was stunned for a while before he stood up and applauded wildly.

The Queen Mother and everyone also applauded. The little swallow slapped her palms sore.

Qianlong couldn't help but walk forward and helped Hanxiang up with his own hands.

"Get up, Princess Hanxiang!"

Hanxiang stood up and lowered her head.

Qianlong said softly:

"Raise your head! Let me see!"

Hanxiang looked up passively, with a sad beauty in her expression. Qianlong was shocked by such beauty.

Ali walked to Qianlong, stared at Qianlong, and said seriously:

"Emperor! In order to show our Hui tribe's respect to the emperor, if the emperor likes it, I will present my precious daughter to the emperor!"

As soon as Ali and Zhuo said this, the audience was shocked.

The concubine changed color, the queen changed color, and all the concubines changed color, and the queen mother was shocked.
