The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The next day, they walked to a pavilion and saw many old people in the distance. Hanxiang quickly asked Gina to go and ask. After a while, Gina said to Hanxiang

"Those old men were writing poems to bid farewell to their friends."

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong after hearing this.

"Master, do you want to join in the fun?"

Qianlong thought for a while and said: "There's no need to join in the fun, let's go to the pavilion and take a rest."

Fulun heard Qianlong's words and replied

"Listen to the master." He ordered people to make arrangements before letting Qianlong sit down.

Hanxiang walked to the pavilion and looked around. Suddenly her eyes lit up.

"There is a lotus pond over there."

At this point, Hanxiang turned around and said to Qianlong

"I really miss the lotus flowers in Baoyue Tower. They should be in bloom when we go back, right? I wonder how Grandma Kang is doing?"

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang with a smile

"Want to go back? If so, we'll walk faster from now on. If you still want to play, we'll go further away and show you this beautiful land."

Hanxiang turned to look at Qianlong, thought for a moment, and said

"Okay, then let's appreciate these different customs and cultures."

He turned his head and continued to stare at the lotus pond.

Ziwei teases Hanxiang

"I guess you, Hanxiang, are the only one who can enjoy the lotus without going out."

Hanxiang raised her eyebrows and said to Ziwei

“It would be nice to come to Baoyue Tower to enjoy the plum blossoms in winter. I am the only one in my family who has a large area of ​​plum blossoms.

I will make plum blossom cakes for you when the time comes. In summer, you can enjoy the lotus by eating lotus dew, lotus pods, and lotus cakes. In winter, I will make plum blossom cakes while enjoying the snow.

How about you and Xiaoyanzi come over then and I cook for you myself?"

Ziwei sighed when she heard Hanxiang's words

"If you know how to enjoy yourself, you won't have to go out in all four seasons."

Fragrant and charming

"Spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn exhaustion and winter hibernation are all not suitable for going out", he said with a smile.

Qianlong looked at her lovingly, his eyes tender and affectionate.

"You are a little lazy bug. You would never stand when you can sit, and you would never sit when you can lie down."

Hanxiang looked at Qianlong

"Master's description is quite apt. I'll just sit here."

Xiaoyanzi was amused

"Hanxiang, you have changed. You were not like this before."

Hanxiang heard this and looked at Xiaoyanzi

"Yes, I feel much more relieved after I said it out. I always felt like there was something heavy weighing on my heart before, but now I feel much better."

Xiaoyanzi stared at Hanxiang for a long time

"You should smile more. When you smile, all the spring scenery in the garden is not as dazzling as you. I love to watch it."

She is fragrant

"You still don't remember that the mouth can cause trouble. If you get beaten with a stick one day, I won't be able to save you."

Xiaoyanzi stuck out her tongue and didn't even look at Yongqi, as if she didn't exist.

Hanxiang looked at Xiaoyanzi and then at Yongqi, and happened to see him looking at her for help.

Hanxiang felt a little amused but ignored it and turned to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of her.

"The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun."

Ji Xiaolan praised

"Good poem, I'll take it."

Looking at the lotus in the pond

"The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it."

Hanxiang read this poem and praised it, "This poem is very beautiful."

Then he said: "The round lotus has small floating leaves, and the fine wheat has light falling flowers."

Ji Xiaolan immediately followed

"The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face."

Hanxiang thought about it

"The lotus-picking girls beside the Ruoye River, talk and smile across the lotus flowers."

Ji Xiaolan was amazed when he heard this poem.

"What a good poem. I was sad for a long time last time when Xiaoyanzi interrupted my poem. Today I must compete with the girl."

Then he said: "The lotus flowers are so beautiful that they want to speak, which makes the boatmen worried."

Hanxiang said: "The green bamboo contains new powder, and the red lotus sheds old clothes."

The two of them exchanged words and ended with the fragrant "The wind carries the green Xiao, which is clean and graceful; the rain wets the red lotus, which is fragrant".

Ji Xiaolan bows his head

"I admire the girl's talent, and I, Ji, am willing to admit defeat."

Hanxiang said with a smile

"Mr. Ji is too modest, it's just luck."

Ji Xiaolan felt a little unsatisfied

"Ji came up with the first line of the couplet, how about the girl taking up the second line?"

Hanxiang nodded: "Please, sir."

Ji Xiaolan thought about it

"This time we're going to focus on incense."

"I know it's not snow from a distance",

Hanxiang replied: "Because there is a subtle fragrance."

Ji Xiaolan continued: "The fragrant mist wets her hair."

Hanxiang followed up with: "The clear light and jade arms are cold."

Their conversation attracted the old men to come and watch, and they couldn't help but listen attentively to their poems.

Ji Xiaolan continued: "I would rather die on the branch with fragrance."

Hanxiang thought for a while and said: "How could it be blown away by the north wind?"

Ji Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited.

"The plum blossom is three points less white than the snow."

Hanxiang immediately followed up: "The snow is less fragrant than the plum."

Ji Xiaolan thought for a while, and Hanxiang did not urge him. After an incense stick of time, Ji Xiaolan said

"The girl is very talented, Ji is willing to admit that she is better than me." This ended this segment.

The old men left with reluctance, and Qianlong smiled and said

"Mr. Ji hasn't met a chess rival for a long time. I have never seen anyone who can beat him. Today I finally met one."

Ji Xiaolan laughed out loud: "I am sorry to have made you laugh, sir."

And bowed to Hanxiang

"I wonder who your teacher is? It's obvious that you are a very talented person."

Hanxiang smiled and shook her head

"The master can only teach me Chinese. The book says that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, but I learned it by myself from what I saw and heard on the road."

Ji Xiaolan was really shocked when he heard this, and Yongqi also looked at Hanxiang and sighed

"Yongqi feels inferior to me."

Hanxiang smiled at them

“I just like writing poetry, it can calm my heart.

My experiences are different from yours, so I look at things differently, there is no comparison."

Upon hearing this, Yongqi thought about Hanxiang's words and looked at Xiaoyanzi, but unfortunately Xiaoyanzi didn't even look at him. Yongqi sighed.

Hanxiang looked at the two of them helplessly and shook her head. Love is the most hurtful word. One man’s honey may be another man’s poison.

They had lunch in the pavilion and then headed to the next town.

Yongqi still sat with Cailian. Hanxiang shook her head, not knowing what Yongqi was thinking.

Back at the post station, Xiaoyanzi said to Qianlong

"Master, I have no appetite, so don't call me for dinner." Then he went to his room.

Hanxiang looked at Xiaoyanzi's back, shook her head and said to Qianlong

"Can I go and keep Xiaoyanzi company tonight?"

Qianlong held her back with a face full of grievance

"Do you want me to stay alone in the empty room again? How can I sleep without you? Xiaoyanzi is not a child anymore, you always have to stay with her."

Hanxiang sighed and said to Qianlong

"Why are you like this? Xiaoyanzi is your daughter, and you even say she is your happy pill."

Qianlong held her back and wouldn't let her go

"That's because she can make you happy, but now she wants to snatch you from me, even if she is a woman.

Anyone who steals someone from me is my love rival, and I am lucky enough not to take advantage of him."

Hanxiang was shocked, as if she was meeting Qianlong for the first time.

"Don't you recognize me? You will see more sides of me in the future."

Took her to have dinner.

After Hanxiang finished her dinner, she asked Gina to prepare Xiaoyanzi's favorite dishes and go to her room.

"Xiao Yanzi, eat something, otherwise your stomach won't be able to take it. Do you still want to go without food and drink for Yongqi?"

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating, mumbling

"You're right, I won't stop eating and drinking for Yongqi. At worst, I won't want him anymore and find someone else.

Hanxiang, you are right, he is the prince, and if I am jealous of him, I would rather die."

Hanxiang comforts her

"It would be best if you could think it through. Your relationship with Yongqi is still shallow, so even if you withdraw in time, it won't hurt you much.

I hope you and Ziwei don’t follow in my footsteps, it’s too painful.”

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei both looked at Hanxiang and went forward to hug her.

Hanxiang will hug them

"Luckily I met you and the master. You are all very nice to me, so I don't find it so hard."

Little Swallow wakes up

"I understand, Hanxiang. I must love myself first, and Yongqi should care less about him."

Hanxiang touches Xiaoyanzi's head

"That's right, we women are at a disadvantage when it comes to relationships, so don't be as stupid as me.

I was obsessed in the past, and from now on, just let nature take its course. So, Xiaoyanzi, you have to think things through clearly, okay?"

Xiaoyanzi nodded, and Hanxiang left the room after she was comforted. Ziwei looked at Hanxiang's back with gratitude.

"Hanxiang still has a solution. I'm already troubled by you. Now I can sleep well tonight."

Little Swallow made a face at her and went to sleep.

When Hanxiang returned to the room and saw that Qianlong had not yet rested, she asked, "Why haven't you gone to bed yet, Master?"

Qianlong walked up and hugged her

"I couldn't sleep without you, and I thought you wouldn't come back."

Hanxiang hugged him back

"Master has already said that he can't sleep without me, so how can he always stay by Xiaoyanzi's side?

Qianlong asked: "How is Xiaoyanzi?"

Hanxiang leaned in his arms and closed her eyes

"He looks much better. I've finished the meals delivered tonight. I think he's fine."

Qianlong was somewhat surprised

"Weren't you so hungry before dinner today? How come you can eat now?"

Hanxiang came out of his arms and whispered

"I advised her to be nicer to herself, love herself more and not be like me, which is too painful."

Upon hearing this, Qianlong hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead and eyes.

Hanxiang hugged his strong waist again, kissed his cheek and leaned into his arms

"I'm much better now. Fortunately, the master has been with Hanxiang all the time, so I don't feel it so hard."

Qianlong felt her approaching his chest, as if countless fireworks were exploding in his heart. He wanted to take a step closer but was interrupted by Hanxiang.

"It's getting late, Master, you should go to bed early." After saying this, he tried to escape but was stopped by Qianlong.

Hanxiang looked at him in confusion, but he just smiled and said nothing.

He bent down and kissed her red lips, not letting go until she started to push him away.

Qianlong glanced at her, then suddenly hugged her around the waist and took her to the inner room.

Hanxiang was so frightened by Qianlong's actions that she dared not move. Qianlong put her on the bed and said in a low voice

"I told you I would give you time to adapt, but you didn't have the strength to walk so I did it for you."

Upon hearing this, Hanxiang covered her face with the quilt and said in a low voice: "Master, it's time to go to rest."

Qianlong knew she was shy when he heard this, so he didn't force her. He just hugged her across the quilt and said

"I'm going to rest first."

Only after Qianlong left did Hanxiang come out from under the quilt with a red face.

But he thought this feeling was not bad, so he let Vinagina help him wash up and then fell into a deep sleep.
