Return of the Pearl

After changing his clothes in the side hall, Xiao Jian looked refreshed, as if all his fatigue and worries had gone away. He walked with steady steps back to where Qianlong and Xiao Yun were, and enjoyed a warm and lively lunch with them in the palace.

During lunch, Xiao Jian chatted and laughed with Qianlong and Xiao Yun. They shared their experiences and interesting stories with each other. Laughter and joy echoed in the palace. Xiao Jian's face was filled with a warm smile, which showed his cherishment of family affection.

After lunch, Xiao Jian slowly turned around and left. His figure appeared firm and upright in the sunlight. From then on, Xiao Jian officially embarked on the road to the court, and Qianlong gave him many important tasks and responsibilities.

Despite his busy schedule, Xiao Jian always found time to go to the palace. Every time he went there, his heart was filled with complicated emotions. He not only came to visit his beloved sister Xiao Yun, but also to have more opportunities to spend time with Qing'er.

Every moment in the palace, Xiao Jian seemed to be extremely attentive. He would carefully pay attention to Qing'er's every move and capture every subtle change in her expression. His eyes were full of tenderness and expectation, as if he wanted to imprint everything about Qing'er deeply in his heart.

And Qing'er could also feel Xiao Jian's affection. Whenever Xiao Jian appeared, a blush would appear on her face and ripples would surge in her heart. The progress between them was rapid and beautiful, like flowers blooming in spring, exuding charming fragrance.

In this palace full of intrigue and emotion, the story of Xiao Jian and Qing'er is like the shining stars in the night sky, illuminating each other's lives and moving people. Their love seems so precious and beautiful in this complicated world.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Tenth Princess's first birthday. On this special day, Emperor Qianlong carefully prepared a grand banquet for the Tenth Princess in the magnificent Qianqing Palace.

Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the lights were bright and intertwined, making the entire palace seem like a dream. At the banquet, delicacies were laid out, with alluring colors, aromas and flavors. The tempting fragrance filled the air, making people intoxicated. Qianlong gazed at the Tenth Princess lovingly, his eyes filled with endless pampering and love.

In the court, Xiao Jian also showed admirable efforts and hard work. He was diligent and dedicated, and handled the country's affairs meticulously. His talent and ability made everyone admire him.

At this moment, the front court and the harem were filled with peace and tranquility, as if time had stood still in this beauty. What was even more surprising was that Ziwei also brought good news. She gave birth to a lovely baby boy. This news was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart, bringing infinite joy and expectations.

The entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and warmth, as if this beautiful moment was endowed with magic, making everything so colorful. The pace of time never stopped, but this happy moment will be forever engraved in the depths of people's memory, becoming a beautiful and poetic chapter.

When the grand and lively birthday banquet of the Tenth Princess came to a perfect end, Qianlong held the lovely Tenth Princess in his arms, held Xiao Yun tightly in one hand, and walked slowly towards the Jianjia Palace.

Unexpectedly, the tenth princess suddenly spoke. Her clear and tender voice rang like a silver bell, "Ah, Ama". These simple words seemed to have magical power, which instantly made Qianlong ecstatic. A smile as bright as the sun bloomed on his face, and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

On this night, the Tenth Princess slept with them. Xiao Yun looked at Qianlong's excited expression and couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his mouth. He secretly thought in his heart that this was not the first time he was the emperor, so why was he so excited?

However, since the Tenth Princess learned to call "Ama", Qianlong seemed to be possessed. He teased her almost all the time and asked her to call him "Ama" non-stop, and the Tenth Princess always cooperated obediently. The interaction between the father and daughter was full of warmth and joy. The scenes were like beautiful paintings that made people intoxicated.

Sometimes, Qianlong would even hold the Tenth Princess tightly in his arms when he was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace. The love between them as father and daughter was so deep and sincere that it moved people.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the tenth princess is already over three years old, like a beautiful flower, quietly blooming in the long river of time.

In the court, someone suddenly proposed to establish a crown prince. Everyone knew that there was no other candidate but that person.

When the Sixth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but feel panic and fear. This was definitely not his intention, and he had never had any connection with the ministers.

Qianlong knew this in his heart. Over the years, the Sixth Prince had always behaved himself and had not overstepped the boundaries. His cold, icy eyes swept across the person who submitted the memorial like a sharp blade, and he said in a low and powerful voice, "I am in the prime of my life, and there is no need to be so anxious about appointing a crown prince."

The ministers felt the determination in the emperor's words and naturally did not dare to persuade him any further. When night fell, Qianlong returned to the Jianjia Palace. He talked with Xiao Yun in detail about what the ministers had said. There seemed to be thousands of thoughts flowing in his words, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, shining brightly.

When Xiao Yun heard what Qianlong had discussed with him, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and found it funny in his heart. This was not a discussion at all, it was clearly that Hongli was thinking about having a child again. Xiao Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, thinking that the pain would not fall on him anyway, since Hongli was ready, then just give birth.

She slowly approached Qianlong, her eyes sparkling with tenderness and sweetness, as bright as stars. She gently tiptoed, climbed her hands on Qianlong's shoulders, then tilted her head slightly, opened her red lips, and took the initiative to kiss Qianlong's lips. This kiss was full of her initiative and enthusiasm, as if she wanted to convey all her love to Qianlong.

Qianlong's heart was ignited by Xiao Yun's actions. His eyes became hot and affectionate. He hugged Xiao Yun tightly with both hands, pressing her tightly against his body. His lips responded to Xiao Yun's kiss passionately. His tongue stretched out and entwined with Xiao Yun's tongue. Their breathing gradually became rapid and hot. His heart was full of love and desire for Xiao Yun, and he wanted to possess her completely.

In this passionate kiss, Xiao Yun could feel Qianlong's inner desire and expectation, and ripples surged in her heart. Her hands wandered over Qianlong's back, gently stroking his skin, conveying her emotions.

That night, Qianlong became more and more passionate. He and Xiao Yun were inseparable, immersed in the ocean of love, weaving together their romance and passion. That kiss, that hug, that fiery emotion, in the quiet night, was like a beautiful painting, intoxicating people.
