Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "I grew up in the deep palace and had no chance to make friends. Do you think I am a lonely person?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "I really didn't expect the emperor to be so sad."

The Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan and said, "How can I be happy? During this trip to Jiangnan, I killed a governor and a provincial governor, and sentenced a governor to death and more than twenty local officials."

After saying that, he put away his folding fan and sighed.

Du Xiaoyue moved her stool, moved closer to the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiaoyue has an idea. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it."

Hehehe...

Emperor Gaizhang threw the folding fan on the table, picked up the tea bowl, and asked, "Is it a good idea or a bad idea?" He took a sip of tea.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Of course it's a good idea. Didn't the Emperor lament that there was no fun in the martial arts world? But this fun didn't fall from the sky, it had to be found by oneself. Why doesn't the Emperor go and find it and enjoy it?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "It's easy to say. Gold, silver and treasures can be dug three feet deep into the ground, but friends and fun can be encountered by chance but not sought after." He shook his head as he said this.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Your Majesty, aren't we going back to the capital right now? Why don't you give up the dragon boat ceremony, take off your court robes, change into casual clothes, take a few close friends with you, and travel around the country, enjoying the mountains and rivers along the way, and observe the customs and folkways. Wouldn't that be free and easy, killing two birds with one stone? You don't have to act like an emperor all day long, it's so tiring, it would be great to relax."

Emperor Gai Zhang put down his tea bowl, picked up the folding fan on the table, stood up, and said, "It's a good idea, but who are the three or five close friends you mentioned?"

Du Xiaoyue also stood up and said, "Of course it's me and Mo Li."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "With you around, I can't relax. You stir up trouble everywhere, and I have to fight with you."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Then I will be a good boy this time and definitely not fight."

Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan, thought for a moment, and said, "That would be boring."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Then... then I'll just do a small fight and not do anything serious."

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled and said, "It's settled."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will go and prepare first."

Emperor Gai Zhang put away his folding fan and said, "Okay, go quickly."

Du Xiaoyue returned and said, "Yes, yes, the emperor, please tell me clearly whether you will take Mo Li with you or not."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "You have to bring him. It will be no fun without him."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Okay, then I'll go first."

Emperor Gai Zhang picked up the book on the table, sat down, and continued to flip through the book while waving his folding fan.

……

One day, on the street, Emperor Gai Zhang saw a strange woman besides Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue, who were in casual clothes, and asked, "Who is she?"

Mo Li said, "Master Huang, let me introduce you. This girl is Xiumei, and she is Mo Chou's apprentice."

"Hello," Gai Zhangdi said, extending his hand to shake hers.

Xiumei was a little confused and asked, "Mr. Huang, why did you hold out your hand?"

Emperor Gai Zhang then realized that this was ancient times, and there was naturally no such etiquette as shaking hands. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was confused."

Xiumei didn't know that he was the emperor because this was the first time she met Emperor Gai Zhang.

Xiumei also stretched out her jade hand and held the hand of Emperor Gai Zhang.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "How do you know what I mean?"

Xiumei said: "Of course, I have seen many foreigners shaking hands like this. This is their etiquette."

Emperor Gai Zhang took a liking to Xiumei and praised her, "You are truly knowledgeable."

After being praised by him, Xiumei lowered her head shyly.
