Chapter 31 Traveling outside the palace

Yangxindian

Qianlong obtained a rare Western gadget, which was an exquisite clock. This clock not only could tell the time accurately, but also had a uniquely designed device that would pop out a bird. When the time came, the bird would pop out happily, adding a wonderful fun.

Qianlong couldn't put this novel toy down, and he couldn't wait to bring it to Shufangzhai, wanting to give this surprise to Xiao Yun.

When Xiao Yun saw the clock in Qianlong's hand, her eyes lit up instantly and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on her face.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Xiao Yun exclaimed in amazement. She carefully took the clock and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of love and surprise. She gently turned the button on the clock and watched the bird pop out and fly back, as if she was in a magical world.

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yun's happy face, and his heart was also filled with joy. He looked at Xiao Yun with a smile, his eyes full of love and doting, "As long as you like it, I found it specially for you."

Xiao Yun looked at Qianlong gratefully, tears of emotion gleaming in his eyes. "Hongli, this is the most special gift I have ever received."

Xiao Yun and Qianlong began to communicate about the clock. They discussed the wonders of the clock and shared their feelings with each other.

Qianlong patiently explained to Xiao Yun the principles and production techniques of the clock, while Xiao Yun listened attentively and raised his own questions and ideas from time to time. Their interaction was full of warmth and harmony, as if they were a pair of close lovers.

At this warm moment, Xiao Yun felt Qianlong's love and attention for her, and her heart was filled with happiness and warmth. This clock that could tell time not only became her beloved treasure, but also a witness to the beautiful memories between her and Qianlong.

Qianlong took Xiao Yun out of the palace for a trip, which made Xiao Yun very excited. She changed into light and beautiful clothes and walked out of the palace gate that had been locked for a long time with Qianlong.

As soon as she left the palace, Xiao Yun was attracted by the lively scene outside the palace. Various stalls were set up on both sides of the street. The sounds of shouting and bargaining came one after another, full of the breath of life. She was like a cheerful little bird, shuttling through the crowd, looking curiously at every corner.

Qianlong followed closely behind her, his eyes full of love and doting. He patiently explained to Xiao Yun the origin of every scene, allowing her to have a deeper understanding of the world outside the palace.

They came to a stall selling sugar figures. Xiao Yun was attracted by the lifelike sugar figures. She looked at them with a gleam of desire in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qianlong smiled and bought her a candy man. Xiao Yun happily took the candy man with a happy smile on her face.

Then they came to a teahouse, which was full of people and very lively. Qianlong and Xiao Yun found a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks.

Xiao Yun was savoring the snacks while listening to the conversations of the people around her, and she laughed from time to time. Qianlong looked at her happy face and his heart was also filled with joy.

After taking a short break in the teahouse, they continued strolling on the street. Suddenly, Xiao Yun saw a circus performance and pulled Qianlong over to watch it.

The jugglers' skills were so superb that they drew cheers from the audience. Xiao Yun was fascinated by the performance and kept clapping and cheering. Qianlong watched her with a smile, as if he was appreciating a beautiful painting.

After watching the acrobatic show, they came to a small river. The river was sparkling and the water was clear. Xiao Yun was attracted by the beautiful scenery. She walked to the river, squatted down, and reached out to touch the water.

Qianlong also came to her side and admired the tranquil beauty with her. At this time, a small boat slowly passed by on the river. The people on the boat were laughing and talking, which made Xiao Yun envious.

Qianlong saw what she was thinking, so he rented a small boat and went boating with her on the river.

On the boat, Xiao Yun leaned on Qianlong's shoulder, feeling the breeze. Qianlong gently stroked her hair and admired the scenery on both sides of the river with her.

Sometimes they talked, sometimes they were silent, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty. Unknowingly, the boat reached the middle of the river. Xiao Yun raised her head and looked at Qianlong with love in her eyes. Qianlong also looked at her affectionately. Their eyes met, as if time had stopped.

After they got off the boat, they walked into the flower field and saw colorful flowers blooming, like a gorgeous rainbow falling on the earth.

Red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, each flower is so beautiful that it seems to be competing for beauty. The breeze blows gently, ripples appear on the flower field, and the flowers sway gracefully, as if they are dancing.

The air is filled with intoxicating floral fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the sea of flowers, butterflies are flying lightly, contrasting with the flowers, forming a beautiful picture.

The sunlight shining on the flower field makes every petal shine with charming luster. The whole flower field is dreamy and like a fairyland.

In that gorgeous sea of flowers, Qianlong and Xiao Yun stood quietly against each other. The breeze blew gently, and the petals fell like snow, lingering around them. Qianlong gazed at Xiao Yun affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Qianlong slowly stretched out his hand, gently cupped Xiao Yun's cheek, and gently stroked her delicate skin with his fingers. Xiao Yun raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation and shyness. Qianlong slowly approached, his breath gradually enveloping Xiao Yun, and their lips gently touched each other.

It was a gentle and lingering kiss, as if time had stood still. They felt each other's warmth and heartbeat, immersed in this wonderful moment. It seemed as if the whole world only had the two of them, weaving this beautiful emotional picture together.

In the evening, the sun gradually set. Qianlong and Xiao Yun came to a meadow full of colorful wild flowers. Xiao Yun danced among the flowers like a beautiful butterfly.

Qianlong sat aside, quietly admiring her dance, his heart full of joy. After the dance, Xiao Yun came to Qianlong and lay on the grass with him, watching the stars gradually emerging in the sky. They snuggled up to each other, feeling each other's warmth and enjoying this wonderful time.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Yun leaned on Qianlong's shoulder, still with a satisfied smile on her face. The experience of this day made her feelings for Qianlong even deeper. She knew how happy it was to have such a person by her side in this deep palace.

Qianlong was also full of love and cherishment for Xiao Yun. He hoped to accompany her like this forever and make her happy forever. This day's outing out of the palace became an unforgettable memory in the hearts of Xiao Yun and Qianlong, and also made their relationship even closer.
