The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

Qianlong looked at his sensible children and nodded with satisfaction, knowing that it was a good idea to hide away.

At this time Gina brought the medicine over. Hanxiang took it and said to Qianlong: "Master, take the medicine."

Qianlong turned his head away: "I want you to feed me."

Hanxiang fed it mouthful by mouthful, and Qianlong nodded with satisfaction.

"This tastes good, much better than what Doctor Hu drinks. I'll come to you whenever I have a headache or fever in the future."

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong helplessly and said

"Master really doesn't fear taboos. Who wants to get sick? Hanxiang doesn't like to hear that."

After saying this, she wanted to get close to Qianlong, but was pushed away by him.

Qianlong sighed

"You're right, you can't get sick, otherwise I won't dare to hug you. Go sleep with Xiaoyanzi and the others for the next two days, so they don't get you infected."

Hanxiang was so angry that she laughed

"You want to push me away when you are sick? That's impossible. I will stay with you and you just take a good rest."

She turned around and sat down next to him.

Qianlong looked at her and sighed.

"Be good, what if you get infected? I would be so heartbroken."

Hanxiang is indifferent

"I know my limits. How can you live without someone by your side? Don't worry about me. Just remember not to get sick in the future."

Qianlong closed his eyes and rested

"I understand. I'll take good care of myself and won't make you worry." After saying that, he fell asleep.

Hanxiang touched his forehead after seeing that he was sleeping soundly, and since she didn't have a fever, she fell asleep on his lap.

The next day when Qianlong woke up, he saw Hanxiang sleeping soundly and he didn't want to disturb her. He just looked at her sleeping face quietly.

This was the first time he saw her sleeping, with her eyes closed, looking like a small child.

Qianlong was distracted by the sight of Xiaoyanzi shouting

"Master, are you awake? I'm coming in."

Hanxiang was awakened by the sound. She looked up and saw Xiaoyanzi's surprised eyes. Hanxiang saw Xiaoyanzi was stunned for a moment and then looked at Qianlong, then said calmly:

Now that the master is awake, let’s wash up first.”

He left the room without waiting for Qianlong's reaction.

Qianlong looked at Xiaoyanzi unhappily. What a good opportunity just now!

I was just about to get close to her, but was interrupted by Xiaoyanzi, who said unhappily, "Why are you here so early?"

Xiaoyanzi feels guilty

"I thought Hanxiang must have not slept well last night because she was taking care of the master, so I wanted to take her place for a while, but I didn't expect to see this scene."

Xiaoyanzi said the last sentence in her heart.

Qianlong looked at her speechlessly

"I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'm feeling much better now, so let's go for a walk today."

Hanxiang has changed her clothes. Her blue dress looks like ripples on a lake. The smooth texture of the silk and the tranquil color look like an ink painting.

The exquisite cloud pattern embroidery on her body seems to silently tell of the woman's grace and virtue.

Xiaoyanzi opened her mouth and said exaggeratedly

"Hanxiang, you are so beautiful. No matter how many times I see you, I am still amazed by you.

I hate that I am not a man. I don’t have to be the legal husband, I can be a maid.”

Hanxiang smiled and tapped her forehead

"I just can't remember what I said, 'Trouble comes from the mouth'. It's because you didn't copy enough words."

Xiaoyanzi stuck out her tongue, and Yongqi begged for mercy

"Your Majesty, please don't punish Xiaoyanzi by making her write. Otherwise, I really don't know whether you are punishing Xiaoyanzi or us."

Hanxiang was speechless for a moment when she thought about the last time when she punished Xiaoyanzi by making her copy a book and it caused her hand to hurt. Punishing her to recite the book was just torturing herself, she sighed as she thought about it.

Ziwei also thought of it and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qianlong thought for a while and said

"Next time if you speak without restraint, I will beat you with a stick. This way I won't tire you out."

I thought this was a good idea and smiled with satisfaction.

Little Swallow begs for mercy

"Master, I was wrong. I will never say nonsense again."

Qianlong nodded with satisfaction

"This child is teachable."

Then he took Hanxiang to wash up.

After finishing breakfast, they went out to the street. Xiaoyanzi took Hanxiang and Ziwei for a walk and they were attracted by a woman.

Little Swallow asked: "What's written on this paper?"

Ziwei replied

"My name is Cailian, and I spent all my money on my father's medical treatment.

Unfortunately, her father was unable to recover in the end, and Cai Lian was willing to sell herself as a reward for her father's rest in peace."

Xiaoyanzi asked Hanxiang

"Hanxiang, do you think this is true or false?"

Hanxiang looked at Cailian who was kneeling on the ground wiping her tears.

"You'll know once you take another look."

As soon as the words fell, a group of people came over with fierce looks.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. This is our young master's concubine. Who of you dares to buy her?"

Cai Lian cried when she heard this

"No, your young master did lend me money, but I paid him back. If you rape me, I can sue you."

The servant laughed as if he had heard a great joke.

"You're going to sue us? Your father owed us money when he was alive, go ahead and sue us."

Yu Yaozu saw that the performance was almost over and came out to say righteously

"How could you bully Xiaolian? You are so ignorant."

Then he turned around and said to Cai Lian in a lewd way

"The servant was ignorant and frightened you. Come with me, young master, back and calm you down."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Cai Lian up and wanted to leave.

Xiaoyanzi couldn't help herself when she saw this.

"The girl has already said she doesn't want to go with you, how could you force her to take her away?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaozu let go of Cailian and glared at Xiaoyanzi fiercely.

"Who are you? Stop meddling in my business."

Just as she was about to leave after saying this to Xiaoyanzi, she caught a glimpse of Hanxiang out of the corner of her eye and her eyes widened.

Hanxiang felt uncomfortable with this gaze and turned away.

Yu Yaozu was not angry when he saw Hanxiang ignoring him, his eyes were glued to Hanxiang

"My beauty, please come back with me. I promise to treat you well. How about that?"

He looked around at Hanxiang and reached out to grab her, but Hanxiang dodged him.

Yu Yaozu was not angry. He gave a lewd laugh and wanted to reach out to hug her, but was knocked to the ground by Xiaoyanzi.

When Xiaoyanzi saw that Yu Yaozu was trying to make a move on Hanxiang, she couldn't help but kick Yu Yaozu to the ground.

Qianlong shouted in a deep voice: "Yongqi, teach him a lesson."

He pulled Hanxiang to his side and clenched his right hand into a fist, obviously very angry.

Hanxiang patted Qianlong on the shoulder to calm him down. Yongqi and the other two attacked without mercy, not even looking at who the person was before being so presumptuous. That person was the apple of the emperor's eye and was tired of living like that.

After beating them enough, Qianlong ordered Fulun to investigate whether there was any corruption or abuse of power in their family, and if so, punish them according to the law.

Qianlong was so furious that he almost exploded because he was so unbearable to the person he was reluctant to touch.

Upon hearing this, Fulun bowed his head and said, "Yes," and went down to work.

Yongqi wanted to help others to the end, so he helped Cailian to handle his father's funeral before returning.

Back at the post station, Ziwei and Erkang went to a pavilion to talk.

"The master must be very angry today. Look at his livid face. Yu Yaozu must be in a miserable state."

Erkang looked at Ziwei and helped her sit down

“We’ll know what the situation is when Ama comes back, but Yu Yaozu is definitely not well.

The master is the ruler of a country, and he is afraid that Hanxiang will melt if he holds her in his mouth, or drop her if he holds her in his hands. If someone treats her so frivolously, he will definitely be furious."

Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi were talking about this topic while walking on the path. Yongqi said

"This is the first time I see my father getting so angry for a woman. Yu Yaozu will definitely have a miserable end. But I would also be angry if someone treated you like this."

Xiaoyanzi originally agreed with Yongqi's words, but she felt uncomfortable after hearing Yongqi's words.

"If anyone dares to tease me, I will beat him until his teeth are all over the ground. I am not a weak woman. I have no ability to fight back if someone teases me."

Yongqi laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Little Swallow is indeed different."

In the room, Hanxiang watched Qianlong caressing his chest

"Master is still angry? I saw that you didn't even have dinner today, and you said that you would take good care of yourself. You also said that a gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Qianlong snorted in response.

"I am just angry. I wish I could kill all of his clans when a lecher like me spoke to me like this.

I can't bear to say a harsh word to you, and I have to think twice before saying anything to you, so how can I allow others to treat me with such contempt."

Hearing this, Hanxiang leaned into his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat and said uncertainly

"I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse that the master likes Hanxiang so much?"

Qianlong held her in his arms and wished she could melt into his bones and blood

"Since I have taken a fancy to you, I will definitely protect you. You are my armor, not my weakness. I will not forgive anyone who dares to hurt you, including the Queen."

Hanxiang's heart trembled when she heard this. If the emperor knew that the queen sent people to assassinate him, then there would be no peace.

Qianlong looked at the person in his arms and silently straightened her up.

"Why aren't you talking again? What are you thinking about?"

Hanxiang answered

"Hanxiang is thinking that when she returns to Beijing, she will let the emperor treat her equally. Hanxiang doesn't want to be branded as a seductress who brings disaster to the country."

Qianlong glared at her fiercely when he heard this.

"Is there no place for me in your heart? Don't you care how many women I have?"

After asking this, he gently lifted Hanxiang's chin, looked into her eyes, and wanted to know what was really in her mind.

Hanxiang dared not look Qianlong in the eye and could only lower her head. Seeing this, Qianlong asked her

"Hanxiang, tell me what you really think."

Hanxiang heard this and whispered

“I didn’t care before, but now I don’t want the emperor to go to another palace.

But I was also afraid that the Emperor’s interest in me was only temporary, and I didn’t want to become one of them.

If the emperor is just in a whim, then I would rather never have gotten it."

Upon hearing this, Qianlong hurriedly expressed his loyalty

"I am not attracted to you on a whim. I admit that I was a playboy when I was young, and I was with women in the palace only to stabilize the government.

Maybe he was with Xia Yuhe because he was too lonely, and he forgot about her after returning to the palace.

It was not until I met you that I knew the meaning of the word love. With you, other people are nothing but passing clouds in my eyes.

If I don’t have you, I don’t think I will be happy in this life, understand?”

Hanxiang looked at him without saying anything after hearing this. After a long while, she whispered

“Hanxiang doesn’t dare to believe in promises, so let time prove it.

If one day the emperor changes, I will disappear from his side, and you will probably never find me again."

After hearing this, Qianlong hugged her tightly

"Okay, leave it to time, but I won't let you leave me, I'm even more afraid that you will change your mind.

Because I am so much older than you, and you are still young, don’t you see that when you walk on the street, many young men want to come up and chat with you?"

As he said this, he got angry again and became jealous.

Hanxiang hugged him again after hearing this.

"I didn't pay attention, but I remembered to keep an eye on Xiaoyanzi. There are so many people on the street, I have to keep an eye on her."

Qianlong snorted with jealousy

"I knew that you only had Xiaoyanzi in your eyes and there was no place for me. I should not have brought her out and attracted all your attention away."
