The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

She knew very well that as the child grew up, Jingluo must master the proper etiquette as a princess, which was an indispensable part of her growth path.

In such a family atmosphere, the brother and sister thrived.

Rui Ze's academic schedule was full. In the morning, he studied cultural knowledge in the Qianqing Palace, and in the afternoon, he learned martial arts with Qianlong. He had no complaints and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies.

Jingluo also worked equally hard, focusing on practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting in the morning and studying etiquette in depth in the afternoon.

Seeing how serious she was, Hanxiang taught her the basic dance skills, making the daily life of the brother and sister both fulfilling and colorful.

Hanxiang and Qianlong also lived a happy life.

During the day, they teach their two children separately, and at night they enjoy each other's love.

Although such a life sometimes makes Hanxiang feel a little overwhelmed, her heart is full of happiness and satisfaction.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaoyanzi has successfully passed her confinement period.

During this period, Hanxiang often took Jingluo to check on her physical condition and gave her meticulous care.

Xiaoyanzi's recovery is progressing smoothly. She looks at Hanxiang with gratitude and often brings Jingluo to see her so that she won't feel lonely.

Although Yongqi is always with me and I never feel bored, I sometimes miss the days in Shufangzhai.

At that time, Ziwei and I lived together day and night, and Hanxiang would visit her from time to time.

Now that they each have children, they are no longer as free as before.

So when Hanxiang still came to see me from time to time like before, my heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.

Let yourself know that she is always by your side and never leaves.

Maybe because she has a child she can’t leave sometimes, but she will also be thinking about herself in her heart.

They will always be close friends like before and will remain good friends for life.

On the day of the full moon in Yihua, the Forbidden City was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Except for Qing'er who was unable to come because she was still in confinement, almost all members of the royal family and important court officials gathered together to celebrate this special day.

Emperor Qianlong even issued an edict on the same day, officially appointing Yihua as the crown prince, which meant that he would become the heir to the throne in the future.

Emperor Qianlong placed high hopes on Yihua, expecting him to succeed his father as prince when he grew up, assist the crown prince, and make greater contributions to the country and the court.

As Yihua's parents, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi are filled with joy and pride when seeing their child receive such high honors and expectations.

They knew that this meant Yihua would shoulder great responsibilities, but they also believed that he was capable of handling the role.

At the same time, Yongqi also looks forward to Yihua taking on the responsibilities of a prince when he grows up.

He would be able to lead a free and happy life with Xiaoyanzi, no longer bound by the royal family.

Just a few days after Yihua’s full-month ceremony, Chenxi’s full-month ceremony arrived as scheduled, and the atmosphere was equally warm.

As the eldest grandson of Fuheng and the great-grandson of Empress Dowager Cixi, his full-month ceremony was naturally a grand celebration.

However, at this celebration, Fu Heng made a request to Emperor Qianlong: he hoped to resign from his official position and retire so that he could live a happy life with his grandchildren.

This request shocked everyone present, because Fuheng had always been Emperor Qianlong's right-hand man, and his departure would undoubtedly have a major impact on the court.

However, Emperor Qianlong did not easily agree to Fuheng's request.

He was well aware of Fuheng's talents and abilities, and also knew his importance to the court.

The most important thing is that he hasn't even abdicated yet! He's already thinking about taking care of his grandson in the mansion. How can Qianlong tolerate this?

Therefore, he politely rejected Fu Heng's request to resign and hoped that he could continue to serve the court, at least until Chen Xi grew up.

By then, Chenxi will be able to help the prince, and he can abdicate and take Xianger to where she wants to go.

Emperor Qianlong's words were full of expectations and trust in Fu Heng, and also made Fu Heng feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

He knew that he could not let go of this responsibility easily and had to continue working hard for the future of the court and the country.

"It is said that military generals do not have so many cunning minds. I really thought that Qianlong was reluctant to let him resign and retire, and I was deeply moved by Qianlong's words."

Fu Zheng, as Fu Heng's son, is obviously more intelligent and perceptive than his father.

He understood the hidden meaning of Emperor Qianlong's words and realized that Qianlong did not want Fuheng to resign and retire, but had other plans.

He looked at his father who was "sold" by the emperor and was still helping the emperor count money, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, but at the same time he also thought of his own little plan.

He thought that if his father could work a few more years, then he could work a few less years.

So, he chose to "sell" his father without hesitation, letting him suffer the consequences, while he wanted to play with Qing'er for a few more years.

This thought prevented him from reminding Fu Heng of the truth, but instead made him continue to be complacent.

Dong E, as Fuheng's wife, had actually long seen through Qianlong's true intentions.

She was about to quietly remind her husband, but was stopped by her son Fu Zheng.

Dong E was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. Looking at her son's begging eyes, she finally softened her heart and did not tell Fuheng what Qianlong was really thinking.

She didn't expect that her son thought the same way, which gave her a headache.

She actually wanted her husband to spend more time with her, but faced with her son's request and Qianlong's intention, she chose to remain silent.

As for Qing'er's failure to attend her son's full-month ceremony, it was because she had injured herself during childbirth, so Hanxiang suggested that she take a double month of confinement to recover.

When the news came out, Qing'er felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

She had seen Hanxiang go through all the pain during her double confinement period, and now she had to go through all the pain herself, which made her feel helpless and troubled.

She found that her life now seemed to be put under an invisible shackle. She couldn't do this or that, and her every move was strictly restricted.

And Fu Zheng kept himself under particularly strict supervision, just like how the emperor had kept Hanxiang under supervision.

She couldn't even hug her own son, and this helplessness and pain made her feel extremely tormented.

She couldn't help but recall that she was still watching Hanxiang's fun. Now that it was her turn, she realized how difficult it was.

During the confinement period, she was not allowed to touch her feet with the ground, wash her head, or even take a bath. These cumbersome rules almost drove her crazy.

Whenever Hanxiang came to see her, she couldn't help but complain: "How did you get through the confinement period?

I feel like I'm going to die just lying in bed. Look, I've gained weight."

Hanxiang smiled and counselled her: “Didn’t you think the emperor was very kind to me at first?

You're always fussy about the smallest things, afraid that I'll get sick. Why, now you can't stand it anymore? You know how sad it is, right?"

Qing Er nodded helplessly: “I know, this pair of confinement is not made by humans.

He wants to control everything, and I really feel like there is no hope. I want to hug Chen'er, I haven't hugged him since he was born! He is too much."

Hanxiang gently patted the back of her hand and consoled her, "Fu Zheng is doing this for your own good. Didn't I go through this the same way back then?

You have to learn to persuade yourself. Fortunately, Fu Zheng will accommodate you in everything, and Lord Fu and Fu Jin are also good to you, so just think positively!

You will be able to get out of bed and walk in at least a month. I will prescribe a prescription for you to lose weight if you take it on time.
