Having to endure Mardan's harassment, she preferred to come to the palace to see the person she had been waiting for.
She never imagined that her childhood act of sneaking out of her room and unintentionally helping Mardan would lead to her being entangled with him ever since.
She refused, yet he still tried to force her, and her father showed no intention of stopping her, only wanting to use her to gain the greatest benefit. If it weren't for the few deadly self-defense techniques that her older sister Huairou had taught her when she was young, she might have already been taken advantage of by Mardan.
If it weren't for their defeat in this war and their desire to seek peace with the Qing Dynasty, and the fact that she was born with extraordinary signs and was the best "gift," her father might have really given her to Mardan.
But how come when I grew up and had the chance, Sister Huairou was no longer there?
Looking at Chen Nian's face, which resembled Shen Huairou's, sadness gradually resurfaced in Hanxiang's eyes.
If it weren't for Sister Huairou, she would have left long ago. She had really had enough of that dark and hopeless life.
It was Sister Huairou who gave me the opportunity to see the sunshine.
The dance is over.
Everyone applauded, and Ertai Yongxuan and Fu Yuxing joined in, as if to say that someone was more attractive to them than Hanxiang.
Confused and lost in thought, Qing'er is elegant and intellectual.
The two of them were enough to attract their attention.
As for the Emperor, he had already personally stepped down from the platform and helped Hanxiang up, his gaze never leaving Hanxiang from beginning to end.
As they got closer, the emperor's gaze became unfocused, and he couldn't bear to look away for even a moment.
“Your Majesty, to show our respect to you, if Your Majesty does not object, I will offer this precious daughter to Your Majesty.”
When Ali Khoja announced that he would present the Fragrant Jade to the Emperor, everyone in the stands was stunned, their eyes wide with surprise.
They did not expect that Ali Khoja's target this time was the emperor.
Only those who knew the plot remained silent, showing no shock in their eyes, slowly eating the snacks on the table.
I got up "early" but haven't eaten yet.
Are you telling the truth or not?
As soon as Ali Khoja spoke, the emperor quickly turned his head to look at Ali Khoja.
“If I weren’t sincere, I wouldn’t have traveled all that way to Beijing with Hanxiang.”
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Ali Khoja knew that the gift had been given correctly.
Fortunately, he didn't give Hanxiang to Mardan for even the smallest benefit, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do this time when seeking peace.
"Hahaha—, Ali Khoja, I've decided to be your friend. This gift is too precious; I will treasure it dearly. I assure you, you will never regret this decision."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer from Ali Khoja, the emperor's spirits lifted.
The scene ended with Emperor Ali Khoja drinking a cup of wine.
Just like in the original drama, Hanxiang moved into Baoyue Tower.
However, with the relationship between Chen Nian and the emperor in place, there was no incident of Han Xiang refusing to change into Hui clothing, nor was there any deterioration in the relationship between the emperor and empress.
Besides the matter of Hanxiang being granted the title of Fragrant Concubine, the news of Consort Ling's pregnancy also occurred.
However, Hanxiang still did not readily submit to the Emperor.
Baoyue Tower.
"Hanxiang, please say something to me, okay? I truly love you. Can't you understand me? I'll find you a translator, alright?"
Looking at the cold, indifferent person in front of him, the emperor sighed.
After many years, he never expected to meet someone he liked again.
"Your Majesty, Hanxiang is ready to be offered to you. However, if you truly love Hanxiang, please give her some more time."
To be honest, the Emperor's attitude surprised Hanxiang. She had thought that the ruler of a country should be domineering and arrogant, and would not allow anyone to refuse him anything.
And the emperor before me...
