The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

After Qianlong quickly washed up, he returned to his bedroom.

He lay beside Hanxiang and hugged her tightly, letting her feel his presence and warmth.

He gently stroked Hanxiang's back and said in a gentle voice

"Baby, go to sleep! Your husband is here with you, don't be afraid."

After listening to Qianlong's words, Hanxiang gradually relaxed and closed her eyes.

Qianlong continued to pat Hanxiang's back gently to help her fall asleep.

Gradually, Hanxiang's breathing became steady and deep. Seeing that she fell asleep, Qianlong closed his eyes.

Old Lady frowned and sat in the chair with a puzzled look on her face. She really couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.

She had clearly successfully stopped Yongqi and thought everything would go according to plan, but she didn't expect the emperor to come anyway.

She kept thinking about which link had gone wrong, resulting in a result completely different from what she expected.

Just then, a figure quietly walked into the Cining Palace.

It turned out to be Qing'er. She looked around carefully and found that the old man had not fallen asleep yet.

Qing'er's heart tightened, and she felt a little guilty. But she quickly adjusted her state of mind, pretended to be calm and walked towards the old Buddha, and smiled softly.

"Mr. Buddha, why are you still awake so late? You know, staying up late is not good for your health"!

The old Buddha raised his head and looked at Qing'er, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Qing'er, where did you go just now? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qing Er coughed lightly and then replied

"Replying to Mr. Buddha, Fu Zheng came to see me in the afternoon, so I chatted with him for a while.

When I was about to go to Shufangzhai to look for you, you had already returned to Cining Palace."

The old lady stared at Qing'er for a long time with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to find a clue from her eyes and expression to judge whether what she said was true.

Qing'er pretended to be calm and composed. Although she was a little nervous inside, she tried to remain calm and allowed Mr. Buddha to examine her.

As time passed, the whole room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Finally, the old Buddha broke the silence

"Qing'er, weren't you the one who went to Baoyue Tower to tip off the emperor today? You have to tell me the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Qing'er immediately knelt down and replied firmly:

“My Lord, it was indeed me who went to see the Emperor.

However, I didn't go there for Xiaoyanzi and the others. I was just worried that Mr. Lafayette would get angry because of them and affect his health.

Therefore, I requested the Emperor to come to Shufangzhai to see you, hoping to resolve this misunderstanding.

As for Xiaoyanzi and the others' affairs, they have nothing to do with Qing'er. Please understand, Master Buddha!"

After saying this, she kowtowed deeply to show that what she said was true.

The old lady looked at Qing'er kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then helped her up personally.

"Forget it, since it's already passed, let's let it go this time, but don't do it again, got it?"

The old lady said in a serious tone.

Qing Er hugged the old Buddha's arm tightly and said coquettishly

"Qing'er knows that the old lady is a kind-hearted person, and you are just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted"!

The old lady couldn't help laughing at her words, and then asked Qing'er to help her go to bed.

The next morning, when Hanxiang woke up, she found that Qianlong had not woken up yet.

This made her feel a little strange. On normal days, Qianlong should have gone to court by this time. Why was it like this today?

Hanxiang really couldn't bear to disturb him, so she just stared at him silently, her eyes full of concern and love.

Qianlong was half asleep and half awake when he suddenly felt a strong gaze staring at him and suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw Hanxiang staring at me intently with a shy smile on her face.

Qianlong raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and gently embraced Hanxiang in his arms, kissed her forehead gently, and asked softly:

"What's wrong, my darling? Don't you recognize your husband? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Hanxiang leaned lazily in Qianlong's arms, blinking her big eyes and asked curiously

"Husband, why didn't you go to court today? Usually at this time, you should have been in the Qinzheng Hall handling government affairs, right?"

Qianlong smiled and gently placed his hand on Hanxiang's back, stroking it softly.

Feeling her dependence on him and her warm body temperature, he replied softly

"My dear, your husband has taken a day off today because he wants to spend some time with you. I will go to court again tomorrow"!

Upon hearing this, Hanxiang's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

She suddenly moved closer to Qianlong, bit his nose gently with her teeth, and said mischievously:

"Hmph, my husband is letting himself go more and more now! I don't know how much he will have to worry about when Rui Ze grows up in the future"!

Qianlong was amused by Hanxiang's behavior and laughed out loud. He hugged Hanxiang tightly and said lovingly:

"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, Mu Jun is the crown prince. This is his responsibility.

However, when you are able to stand on your own, I will step down and take you wherever you want to go, okay?

We can travel together and explore this beautiful country."

Hanxiang was deeply moved. She felt that she was not a competent mother, but Qianlong was always able to understand her inner thoughts.

She hugged Qianlong tightly and said softly

"I always listen to my husband's arrangements, and he understands my thoughts best."

Qianlong gently stroked Hanxiang's beautiful hair, his eyes full of affection.

He knew very well that Hanxiang had always longed for freedom and hoped to live freely away from the constraints of the palace.

He decided to fulfill her wish and enjoy a happy time with her.

Qianlong hugged Hanxiang tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

The two of them stayed in bed like this for a long time, and only got up reluctantly when the sun was high in the sky.

After Qianlong finished washing himself, he took the initiative to help Hanxiang wash.

He carefully wiped her face and combed her hair, and every move was full of tenderness and love.

After everything was ready, Qianlong ordered Nanny Kang to bring breakfast into the room.

Only after Hanxiang had finished her meal did Qianlong start to enjoy his breakfast.

When the palace servants had cleared the table, Qianlong called Vina and Gina and asked them to bring Mu Jun and Cai Xi over.

Hanxiang looked at the two children in Qianlong's arms, and a deep feeling of maternal love surged in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh:

"Husband, I also want to hug Rui Ze and Jing Tao. I haven't hugged them since they were born."

As she spoke, she looked at Qianlong with her watery eyes.

Qianlong hurriedly comforted her

"Baby, you can't do that now. You are still in the confinement period and cannot hold the baby.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you hold on for a few more days, you will be back to normal soon.

When the time comes, your husband will let you hug Mu Jun and Cai Xi again. Your husband will never stop you. You can hug them as long as you want, okay?"

After saying that, he gently put Mu Jun and Cai Xi on the bed, hugged Han Xiang and kissed her soft hands to comfort her.

Hanxiang was full of doubts about Qianlong's words and was half-believing.

“My husband will just coax me and let me hold him as long as I want.

I am afraid that my husband will find an excuse and say:

Oh, baby, you just finished your confinement and you shouldn’t be overworked. It’s better for you to hold Mu Jun and Cai Xi less. Be obedient!"

Hanxiang imitated Qianlong's tone of voice and her tone was exactly the same as Qianlong's.

Qianlong was amused and hugged her and kissed her

"My dear, you really understand your husband. How can you be so cute? Your husband loves you so much"!

After Qianlong finished speaking, he buried his head in Hanxiang's neck, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself:

"Mmm~ It smells so good!"

Hearing this, Hanxiang pushed him coquettishly, "Oh, my husband is so annoying!"

Qianlong laughed, raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of doting.
