The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The two smiled at each other, and the worry and reluctance in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

They knew that although this southern tour would take them away from their son temporarily, it was also a rare opportunity for them to spend time together as a couple.

They are looking forward to this southern tour, hoping to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the south together and experience different customs and cultures.

At the same time, they also look forward to returning to their son as soon as possible and continue to accompany him as he grows up.

In Jingren Palace, Xiaoyanzi jumped up excitedly after hearing the news.

"That's great, I've wanted to go out for a walk for a long time, and now I finally have the chance! It's a pity that Yihua is still too young, otherwise I could take him with me."

Yongqi smiled and said, "If we bring Yihua with us, we won't be able to have fun.

Mu Jun and Cai Xi were both abandoned by the Emperor. How can we possibly take good care of the children?

Maybe the Queen is arguing with the Emperor at this moment, but I am afraid she will be persuaded by him in the end."

Xiaoyanzi said with a frown.

“Over the years, the Emperor’s possessiveness has become stronger and stronger. He wishes he could hold Hanxiang in his arms all the time and take her with him wherever he goes.

If it were me, I would definitely not be able to endure such a life."

Yongqi smiled and replied, "Between the Emperor and the Empress, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten.

In our eyes, this seems to be the emperor's excessive possessiveness, but in fact it is the result of the empress's indulgence.

Perhaps for the Empress, this way of getting along makes her feel happy.

So, we can call it a special taste."

Xiaoyanzi clicked her tongue twice and showed a look of disgust on her face: "If it were me, I couldn't stand this kind of fun. I would have to run away from home in a minute. It's too suffocating."

As she spoke, she shook her head exaggeratedly.

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi, his eyes full of tenderness and love, and he said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you no matter where you want to go. I am not as possessive as the emperor. I will accompany you as long as it is something you like."

When Xiaoyanzi heard Yongqi's words, she was deeply moved.

She raised her head, looked into Yongqi's eyes, and said affectionately: "Yongqi, you are so kind."

Yongqi gently touched Xiaoyanzi's head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, if I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?

Okay, stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

After saying that, he held Xiaoyanzi tightly in his arms, letting her feel his warmth.

Xiaoyanzi leaned on Yongqi's chest, feeling extremely relieved. She closed her eyes, with a happy smile on her face.

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her gently on the forehead. Then he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The moonlight shone through the window onto them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

The two of them slept in each other's arms, and a sweet scent filled the air.

Two days later, Qianlong led everyone on the journey to Jiangnan. In the capital, Rui Ze was in charge of supervising the country, while Yongji and Master Ji assisted in handling state affairs.

Before leaving, Ruize and Jingluo held Hanxiang's hands, with looks of reluctance on their faces.

"Mother, if you had come back earlier, we would have missed you."

Hanxiang squatted down and hugged them.

"You all stay in the palace and wait for your mother to come back, especially you, Rui Ze.

You are now entrusted with the important task of supervising the country. If you have any questions, go ask your twelfth brother or Master Ji, they will help you."

Rui Ze said solemnly: "I understand, mother. You and father have fun. My sister and I will be waiting for you to come back in the palace."

Hanxiang touched their heads, looking reluctant: "You are so good. Will you wait for your mother to come back and bring you gifts?"

Rui Ze and Jing Lu hugged Han Xiang on each side, and the fragrance on her body was full of aftertaste.

The old lady was reluctant to leave her two children. She had never left them, but she started missing them before she even left.

Qianlong looked at this scene and felt a little emotional. He patted Ruize on the shoulder and said.

"Mr. Mu, you have grown up. You must learn to take responsibility and protect your sister and our country.

I hope to see a better you when Ama comes back."

Rui Ze nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Father, my son will definitely work hard"!

Qianlong smiled with relief, then turned around and got into the carriage.

As the convoy slowly moved forward, everyone waved goodbye.

Hanxiang's eyes were full of reluctance, but she knew that this southern tour was very important to Qianlong, so she could only pray silently that everything would go well.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, the prefect of Hangzhou had been waiting for a long time with a group of officials.

They stood respectfully on both sides of the road, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Qianlong.

When Qianlong's carriage slowly drove in, the prefect hurried forward and knelt down to salute: "Welcome to the Emperor, the Buddha, and the Empress!"

His voice was loud and solemn.

After Qianlong helped Hanxiang and the Empress Dowager down from the carriage, he said to them, "No need to be so polite."

His tone was calm and authoritative.

The prefect of Hangzhou stood up and bowed to Qianlong: "Thank you, Your Majesty. You and Empress Dowager have traveled a long way. Please come in and rest."

His attitude was respectful and enthusiastic.

Qianlong nodded slightly to show his approval.

He looked at the mansion in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. Although this mansion was luxurious, it also made him feel the luxurious life of local officials.

Fang Zhihang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "My humble home is simple, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

There was a trace of panic on his face, fearing that his mansion would not meet Qianlong's expectations.

When Xiaoyanzi saw this scene, she couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Fang, if your house can be called a humble abode, then other people's houses should be called shelters."

Her words were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction, implying that Fang Zhihang's mansion was too luxurious and in sharp contrast to the lives of ordinary people.

After hearing Xiaoyanzi's words, beads of sweat the size of beans instantly appeared on Fang Zhihang's forehead and his face turned as pale as paper.

He knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty is wise, please believe me, I will never do anything illegal or disorderly."

Qianlong walked into the hall with an expressionless face, then went straight to the first seat and sat down.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

His eyes were sharp and cold, making people shudder. After a while, Qianlong finally spoke: "Whether Mr. Fang's achievements are true, someone will naturally investigate it.

When the time comes, all the truth will be revealed, and I will naturally give a fair verdict."

After saying this, Qianlong no longer looked at Fang Zhihang, but stood up, turned around and left.

Fang Zhihang stood there trembling with fear and anxiety in his heart.

He didn't know what he had done wrong to cause such a strong reaction from the emperor.

He secretly made up his mind to find a way to prove his innocence and regain the emperor's trust in him.

The next morning, Qianlong changed into plain clothes, quietly left the palace, and walked into the street with Hanxiang.

They shuttled through the bustling streets, watched the people coming and going, and felt the prosperity and vitality of the city.

However, when they walked through several streets, they found that there was not even a beggar here.

Hanxiang couldn't help but wonder: "My husband, this is so strange, why are there no beggars in this city?

We have been to other towns and have always encountered a few beggars, but how come there were none here? It was really abnormal."

She frowned, a puzzled look on her face.

Qianlong also noticed this unusual phenomenon. He pondered for a moment and responded in a low voice.

“It seems that this city is hiding some secrets.

Let's not alert the enemy yet, but continue to observe secretly to see if we can find more clues."

There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and he was determined to uncover the truth behind this city.
