The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

Qianlong carried Mu Jun to the Qianqing Palace and put him down. Mu Jun looked around the Qianqing Palace. Everything was new to him. This was his first time here!

Qianlong was reviewing memorials, and would look up at him from time to time. He felt relieved to see Xiao Luzi's apprentice following Mu Jun.

"Your Majesty, look how cute the little prince is!" Xiao Luzi on the side couldn't help but praise.

Qianlong smiled and said: "Yes, my emperor is naturally the cutest."

Mu Jun looked around curiously and suddenly saw the books on the shelf. His eyes lit up and he reached out to take them.

"Hey, be careful!" Qianlong hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, held Mu Jun to sit on his lap, and picked up a book beside him and handed it to him.

Mu Jun said to Qianlong obediently, "Thank you, Father," and then lowered his head to start looking through the books in the collection.

Qianlong looked at Mu Jun with a smile, his eyes full of doting. He asked softly, "Mu Jun, can you understand these books?"

Mu Jun looked up at Qianlong, shook his head, and answered honestly: "Father, I don't recognize any of the words here."

Qianlong laughed loudly, reached out and gently stroked Mu Jun's head, comforting him.

"It doesn't matter, you are still young. In two years, Ama will send you to the study room to study, and then you will slowly understand the contents of these books"!

Qianlong continued speaking earnestly.

"Mr. Mu, you are the crown prince, and you will inherit the throne and become the emperor in the future.

Father has high expectations of you. He hopes that you can listen carefully in class and become a wise and responsible emperor.

When you go to school, you must study hard and don’t let your father down."

After listening to Qianlong's words, Mu Jun nodded firmly and said solemnly.

"I know, Dad. Don't worry, I will study hard and will not let you down."

Qianlong smiled with relief, touched Mujun's head, and praised him, "What a good child! Your father loves you well!

When you grow up, you must protect your mother and sister and not let anyone bully them, okay?"

Mu Jun nodded vigorously to show that he understood.

Mu Jun nodded heavily and said seriously: "I know, Father. When I grow up, I will definitely protect mother, sister, and Father as well."

Qianlong looked at his son's childish face and couldn't help but laugh at his firm tone.

He touched his little head and said, "Okay, Ama is waiting for you to protect us"!

After that, Qianlong began to teach Mujun to read, and the father and son learned the knowledge in the book together.

After a period of time, Qianlong let Mu Jun digest what he had learned on his own, and then turned to handle government affairs.

Time passed minute by minute. Qianlong looked at the hourglass and felt that it was almost time, so he took Mu Jun back to Baoyue Tower to have lunch.

As soon as Rui Ze saw Hanxiang, he excitedly asked Qianlong to put him down and ran to Hanxiang impatiently.

When Hanxiang saw Rui Ze running towards her, she quickly squatted down to greet him.

Ruize threw himself into Hanxiang's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, Ruize misses you so much"!

Hanxiang gently picked up Ruize and asked him with a smile: "Tell mother, what did you learn from your father in the Qianqing Palace today?"

Ruize hugged Hanxiang's neck and responded to her in a baby voice: "Father taught me the Thousand Character Classic today. Can I recite it to mother?"

Hanxiang held Ruize and sat down, letting him sit steadily in her arms and said: "Okay, let mother see how powerful our Ruize is"!

After listening to Hanxiang's words, Rui Ze recited them in his childish voice.

"The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and the moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up. Winter comes and summer goes, autumn brings harvest and winter stores. The leap year is made up, and the musical scale adjusts to the sun. Clouds rise and bring rain, and dew turns to frost."

When reading this, Rui Ze looked at Hanxiang and said with a blush: "Mother, my father only taught me up to this point. I can't learn the rest."

Hanxiang praised without reservation: "My mother's Ruize is so great. She can remember so much. It's amazing!"

Rui Ze felt a little embarrassed by Hanxiang's praise and hid in her arms.

Qianlong hugged Caixi and asked, "What did you play with mother today?"

Cai Xi replied: "I learned Uyghur from my mother. Can I tell you about it?"

Qianlong encouraged: "Okay, let father hear how you have learned."

Cai Xi said a few simple words to Qianlong and her brother.

Qianlong said to Caixi in amazement: "Our Caixi is so amazing. My father can't even speak Uyghur!"

When Cai Xi heard this, she raised her little head with some pride.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Qianlong and asked in a soft voice.

"Father, don't you know Uyghur? Then how about letting mother teach you? Mother speaks it very well"!

Qianlong was amused by her cute appearance. He touched her head and said softly, "Okay, Ama will learn Uyghur from your mother."

After getting a positive answer, Cai Xi's eyes sparkled and she continued, "And mother is so beautiful. I like the scent of mother the most. It smells so good!"

Qianlong couldn't help laughing out loud as he listened to her innocent words.

Following her words, he said, "Of course, your mother is a Uyghur herself, so of course she speaks Uyghur well.

And your mother will attract butterflies in the summer! She is even more beautiful then!"

When Rui Ze and Jing Tao heard what their father said, they looked at Han Xiang with sparkling eyes.

Jing Tao looked at Hanxiang expectantly and said, "Mother, I want to see butterflies."

Hanxiang smiled and touched her head, gently explaining: "My dear daughter, if you want to see the butterflies you have to wait until next year. The weather is too cold now and the butterflies have all flown away."

Jing Tao showed a hint of disappointment on her face after hearing this, but soon regained her smile: "Well, it feels like it will take a long time"!

Hanxiang smiled and comforted her: "Baby, don't be anxious, time passes quickly, just wait patiently for a while!

And after your sister Xiaoyanzi and sister Qing'er give birth to their baby, we can watch butterflies together!"

When Jing Tao heard this, he immediately became excited and began to count the days on his fingers: "One, two, three..."

Hanxiang couldn't help laughing when she saw this and gently rubbed her hair: "Okay, my little princess, let's go eat first. It's not good to be hungry."

So Hanxiang and Qianlong took the two little ones into the dining hall and sat down at the dining table.

These two little guys are now able to eat by themselves and don’t need to be fed by others. They eat very happily.

Even the old Buddha once sighed and said that Mu Jun and Cai Xi were really quiet and didn't make a fuss, and were extremely well-behaved and lovable.

After the meal, Hanxiang gently coaxed Ruize and Jingluo to sleep, then leaned tiredly in Qianlong's arms and slowly closed her eyes.

Qianlong kissed her hair gently and then closed his eyes.

About an hour later, Qianlong quietly stood up and went to the Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs.

Qianlong sat upright on the dragon throne, stared down at the mountain of memorials, sighed, and said to himself: "If Yongqi were here, I would not have to deal with these memorials."

However, after expressing his emotion, he quickly got down to work and handled the memorials efficiently.

Because he knew very well that only by completing the task as soon as possible could he return to Baoyue Tower to spend happy time with Hanxiang and the children.

Qianlong processed the memorials at an astonishing speed and hurried back to Baoyue Tower.

At this moment, Hanxiang and the two little ones had already woken up and were happily swinging on the swings in the courtyard.

Qianlong was worried that Mujun and Caixi would fight over Hanxiang's swing, so he had ordered the palace servants to make two more swings and place them aside.

This action fully demonstrated his love for Hanxiang, and he even gave up his own children to her.
