Chapter 195 Attracting Butterflies
It was getting late, and they had agreed to accompany Hanxiang to visit the Imperial Garden the next day, so they said goodbye to Baoyue Tower.
On the way back to the palace, the two walked very slowly.
Qing'er sighed, "Hanxiang is so naive. I didn't expect she would tell us such a big secret so easily."
Jingyan nodded: "Yes, I really like Hanxiang, she is so sincere."
Qing'er was a little distressed: "But we came here with a mission, but I think this matter must not be told to the old Buddha. But lying to the old Buddha, I..."
There is always a feeling of shame in my heart.
Jingyan also felt a little guilty, but if he said this, it would be a betrayal of Hanxiang's trust, and the palace would be turned upside down, so he absolutely could not say it.
"Hanxiang treats us as friends and tells us this secret, so we must protect her secret."
Qing'er nodded. "Of course. Let me think about how to respond to Master Buddha."
"Don't think about it. The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Let's just hide the heart-to-heart talk and talk about the rest directly."
Sure enough, when the Empress Dowager learned that the two of them had dinner with Hanxiang, and that Hanxiang was willing to try to accept the living habits in the palace, she was very satisfied.
"Okay, as long as Xiang Fei isn't too paranoid, I can accept it. As long as she stays peacefully in the Emperor's harem and doesn't cause any trouble, I'm willing to protect her."
Hearing this, Jingyan and Qing'er looked at each other happily.
"Old Buddha, Yan'er actually thinks that this Fragrant Concubine is very innocent. She doesn't seem like a scheming person, and she doesn't have any bad intentions."
Of course, the old lady didn't believe it at the moment: "You have only been with her for one day, how can you see so much? You still need to be more careful."
Jingyan sighed silently. It would be difficult to change the Empress Dowager's suspicion. She would probably have to see the real changes in Concubine Xiang first. They had a long way to go.
"Oh, right, since that's the case, I have one more thing to tell you. It would be best if you could persuade her to change into our Manchu clothing. Otherwise, it would be too strange to wear Hui clothing in this palace. At the very least, she must wear it during morning and evening visits and other solemn occasions."
Well, one task has not been completed yet, and a new task has been added. However, this one should not be difficult. As long as Hanxiang really gets used to the life in the palace, she will naturally be willing to try Manchu clothing.
"Okay, wait until Hanxiang slowly adapts to life in the palace, and we will persuade her."
The next day, Jingyan and Qing'er accompanied Hanxiang to visit the Imperial Garden.
Perhaps because she finally had a friend to talk to, Hanxiang was in a good mood.
It was spring, and the imperial garden was in full bloom, with all kinds of flowers competing for beauty, just like the harem, and Hanxiang was the most special and beautiful flower among them.
"There are so many kinds of flowers in this imperial garden that I have never seen before. They are so beautiful." As she spoke, Hanxiang lowered her head and gently sniffed a white peony.
This peony flower looks like the clothes that Hanxiang likes to wear. She loves white very much.
"Does Hanxiang like flowers very much?"
Hanxiang looked up at Qing'er, smiled and nodded, with stars twinkling in her eyes, "I like it very much."
"That's easy. The greenhouse cultivates all kinds of beautiful flowers. I will definitely ask the people there to decorate your Baoyue Building beautifully."
"We can also ask the gardener to plant flowers around Baoyue Building so that you can see them when you stand by the window."
Hanxiang smiled and nodded. "Just imagining it makes me think of how beautiful it will be. But will it be too much trouble for the gardener?"
"It's no trouble. They're good at transplanting flowers."
Besides, compared to the useless craftsmen in the gorgeous Baoyue Tower, transplanting some flowers is just a small problem.
Hanxiang was somewhat delighted. She ran to an open space and said loudly, "Perhaps you don't know that I can attract butterflies."
"Butterfly?"
Seeing the two people's surprised faces, Hanxiang smiled slightly and danced in the imperial garden.
She seemed to smell even more fragrant when she danced. Even from a distance, Jingyan and Qing'er could smell the rich fragrance.
Just as Hanxiang said, one or two butterflies really flew over.
Gradually, more and more butterflies flew over and gathered towards Hanxiang. The butterflies circled around her and danced with her, following her dance steps. It was really beautiful.
“So many butterflies, so beautiful!”
Jingyan and Qing'er applauded excitedly.
Jingyan was very happy. It seemed that only when Hanxiang danced happily could she attract butterflies. Does that mean that Hanxiang is in a good mood now? At least she is happy when she is with them.
Hanxiang danced to Jingyan and Qing'er, and butterflies instantly surrounded the three of them.
Looking at the various beautiful butterflies around them, both of them felt extremely amazed.
Hanxiang smiled and pulled the two of them up, and the three of them danced with the butterflies in the imperial garden.
Jiapin and Qing Guiren, who were admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden, naturally noticed that the butterflies that were originally circling around the flowers suddenly flew in the same direction as if they were inspired, and they couldn't help but wonder.
Concubine Qing pointed to the sky and said, "Sister, look, why are all the butterflies flying away?"
"Let's go and take a look." She wanted to see who was playing tricks here.
As I got closer, I saw Jingyan and the other two having fun.
Watching the butterflies dancing around them, Concubine Qing exclaimed softly, "Is this some weird photo?"
Jiapin was also undecided for a moment, and with Princess Jingyan here, she didn't dare to say anything: "Let's hide and see."
After a while, Jingyan and Qing'er were tired of dancing and left the stage.
Hanxiang smiled and said, "I'm so happy."
Even though Hanxiang no longer dances, the butterflies still circle around her reluctantly.
"Hanxiang, your ability is amazing, isn't it because you smell good?"
Hanxiang smiled, shook her head, and then nodded. "Oh, I don't know either. I just know that ever since I was little, I've always attracted a lot of butterflies when I dance happily. Maybe it's because of my fragrance."
"It must be because of the fragrance. I clearly felt that I smelled better when you were dancing just now. It's amazing."
As Jingyan spoke, he smelled himself, as if he had also been contaminated with Hanxiang's fragrance.
Hanxiang chuckled, stepped forward and took Jingyan's hand, "Then I'll give you a little more fragrance."
"The butterflies must have mistaken you for a fairy among the flowers." Qing'er looked at Hanxiang with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.
Hanxiang felt a little embarrassed by Qing'er's praise: "Not at all."
Jiapin and Qing Guiren, who were observing secretly, also concluded that it was the Fragrant Concubine who could attract butterflies.
Thinking about how much Hanxiang has been favored by the emperor these days, and how she was promoted to a concubine as soon as she arrived, while they had been working hard in the harem for so many years and were only noble ladies and concubines.
I felt a little jealous for a moment, "Fox Charm!"
As she spoke, Jiapin stepped forward and said, "Princess Hanxiang, right? You openly practice such witchcraft in this palace and even try to lead my Qing princess astray. What is your intention?"
