| He read the Emperor Yong Zheng's note and the letter written by his natural mother, which said correctly that he had a red birthmark on his left buttockThere could no longer be any doubt about his true originsHe ordered a eunuch to bring him a brazier and threw the documents one by one into the fireAs the flames leapt up, he began to feel more at ease, and on an impulse, threw the small wooden box into the flames as well, filling the room with heat and smoke
He stared for a moment at the jade vases on the table, then said to the eunuch: "Send her up The eunuch disappeared, and returned on his knees to report: "Your slave deserves to dieThe lady refuses to come
Qian Long laughed shortly and glanced at the jade vases againThen he stood up and went downstairsTwo eunuchs followed carrying the vase
One floor down, a maid servant pulled aside a curtain and Qian Long walked through into a rolex sea dweller room full of fresh flowersTwo other maids servants took the vases from the eunuchs and carefully placed them on a table
A girl wearing a white gown was sitting facing the wallWith a wave of his hand, Qian Long dismissed the maid servants from the roomHe had just opened his mouth to speak when the door curtains parted and two bodyguards came in and stood quietly by the entrance
"What are you doing here? Get out," he said angrily
"Your slaves have orders from the Empress Dowager to protect Your Highness," said one of the bodyguardsWhat do I need protection for?"
"The Empress Dowager knows she that the lady is not that she is strong-willed, and is afraid that she will inflict injury on Your Highness's precious self
Qian Long glanced down at his bandaged hand, and shouted: "There's no needGet out!"
The two bodyguards kowtowed frantically but did not retireHe knew that no matter pink gucci watch what, they would not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's orders, so he took no further notice of them, and turned back to face the girl in the white gown
"Turn round, I have something to say," he said in the Muslim tongueThe girl took no noticeIn her hand was a daggerShe gripped it even tighter"Look at what is on the table," he saidThe girl ignored him for a moment, but finally her curiosity got the better of herShe glanced round and saw the pair of jade vases, and at the same moment, the Emperor and the bodyguards were dazzled by the sight of her beauty: it was Princess Fragrance
She had been captured by General Zhao Wei's army and sent to Beijing under special guard to the EmperorQian Long thought it would be more interesting to be able to talk to the girl directly, so he called for a teacher to teach him the Muslim tongueHe was an intelligent man and studied diligently, and after chanel j12 watch a few months he could talk in a halting fashion
But Princess Fragrance was already tightly bound to ChenFurthermore, Qian Long had been responsible for the death of her father, making her even more adament in her refusal of his advancesSeveral times she had been forced almost to the point of suicide, but each time she thought of Chen and restrained herself
"I will be just like I was when surrounded by the wolves," she thought"That large wolf wanted to eat me, but my knight finally saved me
Qian Long watched her becoming more haggard day by dayHe was afraid she would die of melancholy, so he called for the capital's best craftsmen and had the Precious Moon Pavilion built for her to live in
But Princess Fragrance took not the slightest noticeThe priceless treasures used to decorate the pavilion were ignored, except for the murals covering the wallsThey depicted scenes of the gucci handbag new collection Muslims areas, and she stared at them glassy-eyed, reliving over and over the carefree happiness of the days when she and Chen had been together
Sometimes Qian Long spied on her secretly and saw her staring into distance, the trace of a smile playing around her lipsOne day he could resist it no longer and he stretched out his hand to grasp her armThere was a flash of a dagger, and only Princess Fragrance's ignorance of kung fu and his own sprightliness saved himBut his left hand had been cut and in a moment was covered in bloodHe was so scared by the incident that from that moment on, he did not dare to risk annoying her againWhen the Emperess Dowager heard of the matter, she ordered the eunuchs to take the dagger off her, but Princess Fragrance pointed it at her chest whenever anyone came near her and threatened to commit suicideSo Qian Long ordered them to stay away from her and not to gucci tote bag interf |
