Hanxiang lay on the bed, breathing slightly, with shyness and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She felt Qianlong's strong emotions, and a warm current surged in her heart. She said softly.

"Husband, you are such a fool. I haven't even washed up yet, and you're pressing on me without even waiting for me to say anything."

Her voice was full of coquettishness and tenderness.

After hearing her words, Qianlong smiled slightly and ordered the palace servants to prepare water.

He carried Hanxiang to the bathtub and wiped her skin carefully.

He whispered, "Who made my baby kiss me just now?

It's not too late now, how about we do it here too?" His voice was full of temptation and tenderness.

After saying that, he threw away the towel in his hand and instead hugged her slender waist, pulling her closer to him.

Their bodies hugged each other tightly, as if they were about to merge into one.

When she returned to the bed again, Hanxiang was already intoxicated by Qianlong's tenderness and lost consciousness.

Qianlong looked at her satisfied and happy face, his heart filled with endless love and satisfaction.

The next day, they set off for the next town - Luoyang City.

Hanxiang and Lao Foye sat in a richly decorated carriage. They gently opened a corner of the curtain and glimpsed the bustling street scene outside.

As an ancient capital with a long history, Luoyang City has bustling streets with people coming and going.

The cries of various vendors, the sounds of horse hooves and wheels interweave together to form a vivid picture of the market.

"Look, mother, how lively Luoyang City is!"

Hanxiang said to Mr. Buddha with a smile.

"Why don't we take a break here? I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow to see how the country is under the rule of your husband."

The old lady smiled slightly, a hint of kindness flashed in her eyes, but then she shook her head.

"Hey, I'm old, how can I have the energy to go out for a walk? You young people can go and have fun, I'll just rest here."

Upon hearing this, Hanxiang quickly advised, "Mother, please don't say that.

You have worked hard all your life, now is the time to enjoy yourself.

Besides, there are many places of interest and historical sites in Luoyang City. How can you not go and see them?"

Qianlong also agreed, "Yes, mother. Hanxiang is right. You should enjoy this southern tour.

Tomorrow, let me accompany you to go out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery of Luoyang City."

After hearing what they said, Lao Foye couldn't help but waver. She was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally spoke slowly.

“Well, now that you’re out, let’s meet each other properly.

Maybe what you said does make sense, and I should listen to different voices and see the outside world."

After saying that, she sighed softly, as if she felt a little helpless for making this decision, but also with a hint of expectation.

Hanxiang said gently, "I'm glad you think so, mother. My husband and I will pick you up after breakfast tomorrow. We will go to the streets of Luoyang together to walk around and feel the local customs and folkways."

The old man smiled and nodded, his eyes flashing with love and doting: “Okay, listen to our little sweetheart.

You guys can make the arrangements. I also want to see what the difference is between Luoyang City and other places."

After that, they went to the post station together to rest and prepare for the next day's activities.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the ground. After Qianlong and Hanxiang had breakfast, they took the Empress Dowager out.

Xiaoyanzi and others had been waiting outside the door for a long time. They were dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, as if they were literati and scholars coming from afar.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang City, Hanxiang said to the old Buddha.

"Mother, there will be a poetry competition here later, and all kinds of talented people will gather here to recite poems and show their talents.

Are you interested in taking a look? Maybe you can find some interesting souls in them! "

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity and anticipation flashed in the old Buddha's eyes: "Poetry competition? It sounds quite interesting.

Then let’s go and have a look, maybe I can get a taste of the culture from it.”

So, the group walked towards the venue of the poetry competition, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation about the unknown.

When they arrived, many people had gathered at the scene, forming a semicircle.

Lord Meng stood in the center of the circle. He looked around and when he saw that most people had arrived, he slowly walked out of the crowd.

He cleared his throat and said, "Today is our annual gathering of the best.

Making friends through literature is the purpose of our gathering of talented people.

I have offered fifty taels of silver as today's prize money. As long as the referee determines the final winner, he or she will get the fifty taels of silver."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the crowd.

The people nodded in praise, thinking that this activity was both interesting and meaningful.

Lord Meng continued.

"Participants must rush to answer my questions. Those who cannot answer the questions or answer them incorrectly will be fined a large bowl of wine. I hope everyone will answer the questions enthusiastically and show their talents and wisdom."

Karl Lagerfeld stood in the crowd and couldn't help but applaud.

"This is quite interesting. Making friends through literature, and the winner can get a bonus. This Lord Meng is really a genius.

Such activities can not only enhance friendship among everyone, but also allow everyone to learn new knowledge in a joyful way, it really kills two birds with one stone!"

With Lord Meng’s announcement, the gathering of talents officially began.

The people were eager to answer the questions and show their talents.

The whole scene was filled with joy and a warm atmosphere, and everyone was looking forward to this challenge that was both intelligent and fun.

Hanxiang smiled like a flower and spoke softly.

"I knew you were interested in this kind of activity, if you want to participate, we can also sign up."

The old lady turned her gaze to Xiaoyanzi and the others, her eyes sparkling with kindness and doting.

"Do any of you want to join in? It's a rare opportunity for us to come out and have fun, and I want to see your talents.

If you want to participate, go ahead and sign up. I won’t restrict you.”

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, her eyes sparkled with excitement and she spoke eagerly.

"Grandma, I want to try it out. It seems like a lot of fun.

I have learned a lot of idioms now. If I encounter a question that I don’t know how to answer, I can answer it first, and then let Hanxiang and Ziwei answer it. "

Hanxiang smiled even more brightly when she heard that. She patted Xiaoyanzi's shoulder and teased.

“You just need to raise your hand, you don’t have to answer the questions.

Yongqi will be responsible for covering your mouth. As long as you don't open your mouth, you won't be fined."

After she finished speaking, everyone laughed at Hanxiang's humor, and the atmosphere became even more joyful.

After hearing this, Lao Foye and others couldn't help but burst into laughter. Xiaoyanzi pouted and said unconvincedly.

"Hanxiang, you underestimate me. I still know this idiom."

Hanxiang smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm worried about you, so just watch from the sidelines, and don't get punished with a drink."

Xiaoyanzi wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the sound of a gong.

Everyone looked towards the stage. Lord Meng stood still and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Our competition will begin soon.

Our eligibility criteria is also very simple, whether you are participating alone, in a team, or as a family, you can participate.”

Everyone started talking and signing up for teams. Someone shouted, "We are the Moon Picking Team."

Then someone else shouted, "We are the Wind Team." Someone else shouted, "We are the Star Team."

Erkang thought about it and suggested, "How about calling it the Purple Swallow Team?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his words, and he was obviously quite satisfied with the name.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ziwei smiled and responded: "Team Ziyan, this name is really good. It has our name and also implies freedom and agility."
