The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

Hanxiang asked Ziwei with concern: "Is there anything you particularly want to eat? Maybe it can help you suppress your nausea.

"Ziwei thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "I want to eat something sour."

Hearing this, Erkang immediately ordered his servants to prepare. Ziwei finally felt better after eating a sour plum.

Seeing that Ziwei liked to eat sour food, Hanxiang specifically asked Gina to go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a serving of sauerkraut fish for lunch, because she knew that sauerkraut fish was very appetizing.

Ziwei looked at Hanxiang gratefully, while Hanxiang looked at Ziwei and couldn't help sighing.

"Back then, your father lost several pounds for me.

The morning sickness was so uncomfortable, luckily he helped me bear it. At that time, your father also liked to eat sour food.

At first, he could only eat what I fed him, but later he started vomiting all over the place.

However, after three months, the morning sickness will gradually ease, and by four months you’ll be able to eat a lot of food.”

After Hanxiang finished speaking, she remembered something and continued, “Oh, by the way, I’ll write down all the things you need to pay attention to during pregnancy for you.

This way, you just need to follow this list! Just prepare one for Xiaoyanzi and Qing'er.

This will save them from being in a rush, as this is something your Royal Father personally summarized!"

As she spoke, she turned around to get a pen and paper, carefully wrote down various precautions during pregnancy, and handed it to Ziwei.

He also copied two copies and kept them, thinking that he would go to Fu's house later to give them to Qing'er.

When Ziwei saw that Hanxiang was able to leave the palace today, she asked curiously, "Why did you leave the palace today? Is the emperor willing to let you go?"

Hanxiang thought about the way Qianlong had just given her instructions and smiled, "Didn't I hear Xiaoyanzi say that you were pregnant yesterday? I was worried about you, so I came to see you, right?

You too, you didn't even report your pregnancy to the palace. If Xiaoyanzi hadn't mentioned it to me and your father yesterday, we wouldn't have known about it."

Ziwei couldn't help but talk about Xiaoyanzi.

"Xiaoyanzi, this is a big megaphone. I originally wanted to tell you in three months.

As a result, a few days ago, Xiaoyanzi came to see me and saw me vomiting. She knew it right away.

"I told her not to tell you yet, and to wait until the fetus is stable."

Hanxiang smiled and said: "If Xiaoyanzi were obedient, she would not be Xiaoyanzi anymore."

Ziwei also thought of it, chuckled and changed the subject.

"How are Mujun and Caixi? You didn't even bring them out for me to see."

Hanxiang smiled when she talked about the two children: "Ruize is very smart and well-behaved. Jingluo is a little naughty, but cute.

The two siblings can now speak a word or two, and they will be a great companion when your child is born.

If Xiaoyanzi and Qing'er also have good news, the palace will be lively. Mother will like it!"

Ziwei talked to Hanxiang for a long time, and Qianlong waited in the palace but did not see Hanxiang.

Finally, he could no longer sit still, so he sent his two children to the Cining Palace and went to find his beloved wife.

Hanxiang was chatting enthusiastically with Ziwei when Fulun walked in and said, "Empress, the Emperor is here."

When Hanxiang heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face and she hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Qianlong strode in, and when he saw Hanxiang, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

"You little heartless boy, I have been waiting for you in Baoyue Tower for a long time. Seeing that you have not come back yet, I couldn't help but come to look for you."

Qianlong's tone sounded somewhat resentful, as if Hanxiang was a woman who had abandoned her husband and children.

Hanxiang smiled gently, walked to Qianlong, took his arm, and said coquettishly: “Ziwei and I were so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot the time.

Husband, don't be angry! I'll accompany you properly in the afternoon, okay?"

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang lovingly, shook his head and said: "How can your husband bear to blame you? He is just worried that you are tired."

As he spoke, he took Hanxiang to the seat at the top. Fulun's family knelt down and bowed to Qianlong, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor!"

Everyone also knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Qianlong exempted them from the ceremony, waved his hand with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Ziwei.

He said kindly: "I'm here just to find Xiang'er and to see Ziwei. You don't have to be so polite."

Fulan bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

Qianlong asked him to sit opposite him, then turned to look at Ziwei and asked with concern: "Is this child well behaved? Did he bother you?"

Ziwei was a little flattered. She quickly stood up and replied with a slightly blushing face: "Thank you for your concern, Father Emperor. The child is a little naughty, but Hanxiang just checked it for me and said it is a normal reaction."

Qianlong looked at Ziwei with a gentle smile on his face, and then he remembered how Hanxiang looked when she was pregnant.

I couldn't help but sigh, "When Xiang'er was pregnant with Mujun and Caixi, I was so worried.

Fortunately, the two children knew how to love their mother and didn’t let her suffer"!

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong and said with a sweet smile: "I have never suffered, but my husband has suffered a lot! He has lost a lot of weight visibly."

Qianlong waved his hand indifferently and looked at Hanxiang lovingly: "As long as you are fine, my dear, it's fine as your husband has thick skin."

The two chatted for a long time as if no one was around, and Ziwei couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

I seriously suspect that the Emperor did it on purpose. He felt that he had snatched Hanxiang away from him, so he said these words to her.

Hanxiang talked for a long time before she realized that something seemed wrong. She hurriedly pulled Qianlong's sleeve and whispered, "Husband, let's be low-key. We are still in Lord Fu's house!"

Qianlong touched his nose, realized his mistake, and ended the topic.

Just at this moment, the servant reported that lunch was ready, so Qianlong took Hanxiang into the dining hall.

Hanxiang warmly invited Ziwei to sit next to her so that she could take better care of her.

Erkang couldn't help but twitch his lips, muttering to himself: "Ziwei is obviously pregnant with my child, why does it feel like this Queen is more like my child's father?"

Hanxiang was busy taking care of Ziwei and had no idea what Erkang was thinking.

If she knew, she would probably sneer at it! Who made her take a fancy to Xiaoyanzi and the others?

Hanxiang said to Ziwei, "Try this pickled fish, it should be quite appetizing.

If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll come back to the palace and think of a recipe for you. These are your father’s favorite dishes when I was pregnant with you!”

Ziwei picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, tasted it, and then said.

"Well, this pickled fish tastes good and it really whets my appetite"!

When Hanxiang heard Ziwei say this, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face and she quickly spoke.

"That's good. I'll ask the chef to make you a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes tonight. It will also be very appetizing.

How can a pregnant woman survive without eating something?"

Ziwei smiled and nodded in agreement, and said: "I understand, I will take good care of myself"!

Hanxiang was very pleased to see that Ziwei took her words to heart.

After lunch, she sat at Fu's house for a while, and then went back to the palace with Qianlong.

Qianlong sat in the carriage with a sly smile on his face and said to Hanxiang.

"Baby, now can we start talking about how you neglected your husband?"

Hanxiang blinked and asked in confusion.

"Didn't my husband just say that he wouldn't pursue the matter? Why are you suddenly bringing up this topic again?"

Qianlong couldn't help laughing, then teased: "Baby, you are so naive. You believe everything your husband says? Huh?"

Hanxiang was speechless. Qianlong hugged Hanxiang's slender waist tightly and whispered softly in her ear.

"My dear, I have never tried to spend a happy time with you in a carriage. Can my baby satisfy me this time? Hmm?"
