The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

Xiaoyanzi understood.

"Is it because of Hanxiang that the Emperor dotes on Mujun and Caixi so much?"

Qianlong looked at Xiaoyanzi and raised his eyebrows, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"You reacted pretty quickly this time. Mujun and Caixi were conceived by Xiang'er and I. As long as it's what they want and it doesn't violate the law, I will satisfy them."

Xiaoyanzi murmured to Ziwei

"The Emperor is almost turning into a tyrant. When Mujun and Caixi grow up a little more and look exactly like Hanxiang, I wonder how the Emperor will spoil them."

Ziwei curled the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

Xiao Luzi ordered the palace servants to bring out the daughter's red wine that had been prepared in advance. Qianlong buried the wine one by one, then went to the small room to change his clothes before returning to the banquet.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and the ministers talked about it with great relish on their way back home.

"The Emperor really dotes on Crown Prince Zunchang and the eldest princess. I wonder how much he will dote on them in the future."

Lord Fucha retorted

"It's not the little prince and princess who are favored, it's the emperor who loves the queen. The son is honored by the mother.

The one who must not be offended is the Empress behind the little prince and the little princess."

All the ministers agreed upon hearing this.

"Lord Fucha still sees things clearly. You all admire him."

Qianlong had no idea what his ministers were thinking. He was sharing today's full moon banquet with Hanxiang in Baoyue Tower.

Hanxiang listened quietly without saying anything, listening to Qianlong's words. When Qianlong mentioned that he buried Nv'erhong for Caixi, she was surprised.

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang's surprised expression and said lovingly

"What? Baby, why are you so surprised?

Caixi is our daughter, so of course our child has everything that other children have, and she should have more than other children."

Hanxiang can already imagine how Qianlong will pamper his daughter in the future. She is undoubtedly a daughter slave.

"Husband, I don't know what the scene will be like when Caixi gets married in the future. Are you secretly wiping away tears?"

Hanxiang teased deliberately.

Qianlong felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but his eyes revealed a fatherly love that was hard to conceal.

He sighed softly, his eyes full of doting, as if he was imagining the scene of Cai Xi getting married.

"Of course our daughter must be married off in a grand manner."

Qianlong said in a decisive tone.

His eyes were firm and warm, as if telling Hanxiang that he would prepare a grand wedding for Caixi and make her the most beautiful bride.

But the sadness hidden deep in his eyes betrayed him. Hanxiang leaned in Qianlong's arms to comfort him.

"Caixi is still young now, why do you want to go so far away? Besides, I am here, I will always be with you."

Qianlong hugged Hanxiang tightly, smelled her unique fragrance, and rubbed her hair.

"My husband is content with you, but Mujun and Caixi Caixi look too much like you, and my husband is reluctant to let Caixi get married."

Hanxiang hugged Qianlong, and the two of them snuggled up to each other in love.

Xiaoyanzi was silent for a while and began to think about leaving the palace again. Ziwei tried her best to stop her this time.

"Xiaoyanzi, don't always think about leaving the palace. If the Empress Dowager finds out, we'll be in big trouble."

Xiaoyanzi doesn't believe it

"That shouldn't be possible, right? We've been sneaking out of the palace for so long and nothing happened.

Besides, Liu Hong has been married for so long and we haven’t visited them yet, so I’m going to leave this time no matter what.”

Ziwei couldn't resist her and asked helplessly

"Then how do you plan to get out? We can't disturb Hanxiang's rest. The emperor won't let us disturb Hanxiang either."

Xiaoyanzi thought about it and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"We can go out disguised as eunuchs and let Yongqi take us so we won't be discovered by the Empress Dowager."

The more Xiaoyanzi thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible, so she immediately took Ziwei to the prince's residence.

When they arrived at the prince's residence, Yongqi was reviewing memorials, and Yongji was completing the homework assigned by Master Ji.

Yongqi would look at Yongji from time to time, fearing that he would correct him at any time if he encountered something he didn't understand.

Little Swallow, like a cheerful little bird, came in hopping and said to Yongqi:

"Yongqi, I want to leave the palace, can you take me out?"

Yongqi felt a headache when he saw Xiaoyanzi

"Xiaoyanzi, why do you want to go out again? Didn't the Queen say that you are not allowed to leave the palace until you get married?

Last time you made an exception because the Emperor pleaded for you, but this time it would be disastrous if the Buddha found out."

Xiaoyanzi held his hand and acted coquettishly, her voice was tender

"It's okay. I can disguise myself as a eunuch and go out of the palace with you so no one will notice."

Yongqi knew that Xiaoyanzi had made up her mind and knew that he could not persuade her, so he could only tell her

"Then you have to listen to me in everything. If you are discovered by the guards, you must go back to Shufangzhai and don't mention the palace matters again."

When Xiaoyanzi heard that Yongqi agreed, she danced with joy and said

"No problem, as long as I can leave the palace, I will listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do. I, Xiaoyanzi, will never say a word."

Yongqi sighed and told Xiao Shunzi to go get two sets of eunuch clothes.

After they both changed their clothes, Yongqi asked her seriously:

"Have you made all the arrangements for Shufangzhai? Are you sure no one will find out?"

Xiaoyanzi patted her chest and said

"I have arranged everything. If someone comes, I will let Mingyue pretend to be me and lie in bed pretending to be sick, so no one will be suspicious."

Yongqi still felt uneasy, but he didn't want to disturb her interest, so he had to bite the bullet and take her out.

I thought of taking her out for a walk and coming back, so that she wouldn't be unable to stay in the palace and always want to leave.

When they arrived at Shenwu Gate, the guards stopped the carriage. Yongqi lifted the curtain and said, "It's me. What's the matter?"

The guards saluted respectfully when they saw Yongqi.

"Your Highness, may I ask what you need from the palace right now?"

Yongqi pretends to be deep

"I am leaving the palace on the orders of the Emperor. I have something to discuss with Lord Fu. You are not allowed to tell anyone, okay?"

When the guard heard Yongqi's words, he stepped aside and bowed his head.

"Yes, I obey your command."

The guards told the people nearby not to stop Yongqi's carriage, fearing that they could not afford to delay Yongqi's business.

Seeing that he had frightened the guards, Yongqi immediately asked Xiao Shunzi to drive the carriage out of the palace.

When they left the palace, they went straight to the guest house. When Liu Qing saw Xiaoyanzi and the others coming, he immediately went forward to greet them.

"Why did you come out? And dressed like this?"

Xiaoyanzi enters the inner passage

"Don't mention it. The old Buddha is watching me very closely. Besides, Hanxiang is very exhausted after giving birth to Mujun and Caixi.

The imperial physician said that she needed to rest for two months, and she didn’t even attend Mu Jun and Cai Xi’s full-month ceremonies!

We couldn't disturb her. The Emperor also ordered that no one should go to Baoyue Tower to look for him unless it was something important.

There is no other way, I can only resort to this last resort."

Liu Qing nodded to show that he understood. Xiaoyanzi asked about Liu Hong and Meng Erdan.

"Where are Liu Hong and Meng Erdan? Why don't I see them? Where did they go?"

Liu Qing helps Xiaoyanzi solve her puzzle

“Now Monerdan has found a job as a martial arts instructor, and Liu Hong has gone with him.

I am the one who is in charge of the guest house now, luckily I found someone earlier so I can still handle it."

Xiaoyanzi felt incredible after hearing this

"Monerdan has found a job now. It's true that married people are different. Liu Hong should be very happy to see the changes in Monerdan, right?"

Liu Qing thought of what Liu Hong told him when she said that Monerdan had found a job, and said to Xiaoyanzi with a smile on his face.

"Yes, now she finally got what she wanted."

Jinsuo looked at Liu Qing's slightly red face. She had always wanted to have a good chat with him, but never had the chance.

Ziwei saw Jinsuo's expression and understood it. She shook her hand and said to Liu Qing:

"Liu Qing, if you have something to do, just go and do it. There's no need to greet us. We are all family, so there's no need to be bothered with those empty formalities."

Just at this time, the waiter came to find Liu Qing, but saw that he was greeting Xiaoyanzi and the others, so he didn't come in.

Seeing this, Liu Qing said something to them and went out. Ziwei winked at Jinsuo.

Jinsuo understood and followed Liu Qing out.
