The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

Xiaoyan returned to the room and asked Ziwei

"Yongqi said he likes me, but how is that possible?"

Ziwei looked at Xiaoyanzi and said in surprise

"He confessed to you? It's true that when you haven't seen a man for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. I thought he could hold it in for a long time. But it's nothing more than this."

Look at Xiaoyanzi: "What do you think?"

Xiaoyanzi covered her head with the quilt

"I don't know yet, I need to think about it carefully."

Just hide inside and keep silent.

At this time, Erkang came forward and knocked on the door.

"The master asked us to have dinner together, so you two should come out quickly."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei hurried out of the room upon hearing this.

During the meal, Qianlong asked Xiaoyan

"Why are you so absent-minded? Why is the little swallow, which usually chirps, silent today?"

Hanxiang looked at Xiaoyanzi and then at Yongqi and said meaningfully

"Maybe the girl is thinking about love? It seems that the master will arrange a marriage for Xiaoyanzi when she arrives at the palace."

Upon hearing this, Qianlong turned his head and looked at Hanxiang, looking at Xiaoyanzi in disbelief.

"Xiaoyanzi, is what Hanxiang said true? Who is it?"

Hanxiang smiled

"Master, it is you who are going to have a daughter-in-law, and she was not abducted by someone else."

When Qianlong heard this, he looked at Yongqi, who bowed.

"Please help me, Father."

Qianlong thought for a while and said: "Let me think about it."

Hanxiang thought for a while and said

"Now that Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi have talked about it, I want Erkang and Ziwei to get settled as well, so that we can have double happiness."

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang

"You've noticed all this? We're together every day, why didn't you tell me if you found out?"

Hanxiang looked at him funny

"Why bother yourself with their own business? They will come to you for help when they have thought it through. I will just do you a favor."

Qianlong thought about it.

"Well, since you two lovers are finally getting married, I will go back and arrange a marriage for you."

Upon hearing this, the four of them stood up and said, "Thank you, sir."

After the meal, Hanxiang looked at Xiaoyanzi

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianlong pulled her to his side and said to them both: "You go down, I will talk to her."

Hanxiang was dissatisfied after hearing this.

"You two are not allowed to leave."

He stared at Qianlong with wide eyes and an unhappy look on his face.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei didn't know whether to leave or stay, and they wished they could disappear right where they were. They could only lower their heads and look at the lines on it.

Qianlong felt a headache looking at her

"Why do you sleep separately from me?"

Hanxiang turned his head away

"You ask even though you already know the answer."

Qianlong felt wronged

"I sleep in the side hall every day, and when I go out I sleep on a couch. You still want to sleep separately from me."

Hanxiang looked at him helplessly.

"How dare you tell everyone that you are such a grown-up sleeping on a couch? It makes me sad to see you feeling uncomfortable."

Without waiting for him to say anything, she took Xiaoyanzi and hurried into her room.

When Yongqi heard that his father slept in the side hall every day, he dismissed all the servants and retreated to the pavilion. This information was too shocking and they could not listen to it.

Qianlong returned to his room, looked at the empty house, and thought about her every move and smile. When he lay on the bed where she had slept, he was filled with her scent and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Xiaoyanzi and the other two lay on the same bed, teasing each other and no one gave in to the other. They played for most of the night before going to sleep.

At dawn, all three of them had dark circles under their eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Hanxiang saw Qianlong also had dark circles under his eyes and asked

"Master, did you not sleep well last night? How come you are the same as us?"

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang with resentment as if she was a heartless man.

Hanxiang glanced away and pretended not to see

"I'd better sleep over tonight. Xiaoyanzi is too noisy. Ziwei has to sleep with her every day."

Ziwei smiled when she heard this.

"She was so noisy last night because you slept with her. Usually she falls asleep early."

Hanxiang looked at Xiaoyanzi with gritted teeth

"Xiaoyanzi, please explain it to me."

Xiaoyanzi feels guilty

"It's because you smell so good that I can't sleep, so I just want to play and fight with you. Suddenly I envy you so much that I can stay with you every night. I also want to sleep with you every day."

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang, who was wearing a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with long sleeves and an emerald green gauze skirt with scattered flowers.

Her waist was tied with a big bow made of soft gold silk gauze, and her hair was in a bun with small braids hanging horizontally.

Wearing a pink flower on the middle finger, the figure is slender and charming, and the soul can't help but sigh

"I kind of regret letting you go out. Look, Xiaoyanzi always wants to snatch you away from me."

Hanxiang ignored the person in front of her and walked away leisurely.

As soon as they reached the suburbs, they met a father and daughter running towards them as if someone was chasing them. Xiaoyanzi immediately chased after them.

Yongqi rushed to help Xiaoyanzi when he saw this. Erkang Ertai immediately joined the battle when he saw Yongqi going up, and soon he knocked down the servants in front of Qianlong.

Qianlong glanced at Fulun, and Fulun understood.

"Who are you and your daughter? Why are those servants chasing you?"

The old man answered

"In reply to your Excellency's question, my name is Zhang Laosan, and this is my daughter Cui'er.

We were working on Lord Luo's farm, but unfortunately the harvest was poor this year, so Lord Luo wanted my daughter to be his nineteenth concubine.

It wouldn't be a big deal, but Lord Luo is already sixty years old and my daughter is only fifteen, how can I bear to let her go?

He took her away, but was discovered by Lord Luo, who sent his servants to snatch her away. Please help, Lord."

Qianlong heard the words and looked at the servants.

"Is what Zhang Laosan said true?"

The servant heard this and stood up and said rudely

"Since you know that my master is Lord Luo, you'd better let us go. My master has someone in the capital, and that is our Lord Luo's godfather.

That gentleman is a favorite of the Emperor, be careful or you will get into trouble."

Before he could finish his words, Yongqi kicked him to the ground.

Xiaoyanzi smiled when she heard Mr. Liang's name.

"Lord Liang snatched someone to be his daughter-in-law in the capital, and his godson snatched someone else's girl to be his concubine here. This can also be inherited."

Upon hearing this, Qianlong asked Xiaoyanzi

"Does Lord Liang have a bad reputation?"

Xiaoyanzi answered

"He was a corrupt official. The woman he robbed already had a lover, but he still forced his son to marry her.

And sir, don’t you know that even the floor of that corrupt official’s house is made of pure gold?”

Upon hearing this, Qianlong ordered Fuheng to send people to investigate. Fulun brought people to Luo's house and carefully inquired about the details. He wanted to confiscate the property of some people and exile some people.

When they returned to the house, Hanxiang looked at Qianlong's angry expression and comforted him.

"Why are you so angry? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from anger? Besides, hasn't Lord Fu already passed away? I think there will be a result soon."

Qianlong holds Hanxiang's hand

"I knew there would be corrupt officials, but I still couldn't help but get angry when I heard about them."

Hanxiang looked at him without saying a word, and for the first time took the initiative to lean into his arms

"You have done a great job. If you have to do all these things by yourself, then what's the point of supporting those people? You might as well go home and farm."

Qianlong calmed down after smelling the unique fragrance of Hanxiang.

"You are right. My salary is not for living off of. Next year, I want to select useful people for the imperial examination, and those parasites should be exiled and their property confiscated."

Hanxiang rarely said anything nice: "Master is wise."

Qianlong looked at the little man in his arms and teased

"You're rarely good at flattering people."

He placed a kiss on her forehead and sighed.

"I shouldn't have asked you to wait until next year's birthday. It's too long to endure."

Hanxiang glanced at him when she heard this.

"That's not right. You promised it yourself. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You can't go back on your word."

Qianlong's eyes darkened

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not the real Liu Xiahui. If you fall in love with me sooner, maybe you will want to be my real husband and wife."

Hanxiang listened to his increasingly inappropriate words and said shyly

"I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore."

Then I went to find Xiaoyanzi.

Qianlong sighed

"The road to chasing a wife is long."

Thinking about the way she looked at me just now, I felt that life was hopeful again.

At dinner time, Fulun came back and said to Qianlong:

“Not only did Lord Naro forcibly seize women, he also allowed his men to bully the weak, causing widespread complaints.

I have already searched Luo's mansion and executed Lord Luo. The rest of the people have been exiled to Ningguta as a warning to others."

Qianlong nodded with satisfaction

"I'll wait until I return to Beijing to meet Lord Liang."

Fulan bowed and said, "Yes."
