Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li blew another puff of smoke at Heshen, and Heshen kept coughing.

"Prison boss." Heshen shouted.

The jailer said, "Master He, please give your orders."

"Hang a curtain in the middle. I never want to see this person again." Heshen said angrily.

Mo Li blew another puff of smoke at He Shen and then laughed out loud.

……

Emperor Gai Zhang angrily threw his tea bowl to the ground and said, "Can't you say a few words of insight? I am guilty all day long. Come up with some ideas. I feed you."

All the ministers said in unison: "I am guilty."

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his hand and said, "Back off."

"Yes." The ministers stood up and walked out.

……

He Shen sang incoherently, and Mo Li and Ji Xiaolan covered their ears. He Shen said, "What's wrong with you two? Why do you pick your ears when I sing Kunqu Opera?"

Mo Li said, "I want to get rid of all that ridiculous sound. Confucius, the sage, could not taste meat for three days after hearing the music of Shao. I haven't wanted to eat meat for three days after hearing your lewd voice. I feel sick."

Heshen said, "Mo Li, can you please be more careful with your words? You don't understand the charm of life." He started to sing opera again.

"The emperor has arrived." Someone's voice came at this time.

Heshen was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

The three knelt down and saluted, saying in unison: "Your servants, your servants, your servants, pay their respects to the Emperor."

"Get up, get up, get up. This is not the right place." Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan.

The three of them stood up at the same time.

"How are you three doing?" asked Emperor Gai Zhang.

After saying that, he sat down.

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, I will reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors. That's all."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I seem to have just heard you singing a song."

He Shen said: "It's just occasional entertainment, occasional entertainment."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Mo Li and asked, "What about you?"

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, Ji Xiaolan and I smoke all day long."

Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan and said, "I can smell it. Why is it so sour?"

Mo Li said, "I'm afraid the emperor will kill me. I won't be able to smoke this cigarette anymore."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You are still as talkative as ever."

After a pause, he continued, "I've been idle lately, so I came to see you. I also remembered four sayings that are popular among the people. They say there are four great blessings in life. Let me tell you about them."

The three of them said at the same time: "Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "That's what they say: a long drought followed by a downpour of rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. Think of them as the four greatest blessings in life. If a commoner could have these four, they would be very content. But blessings can often make people feel bored."

After a pause, he continued, "For example, this time, I was happily exiled after blaming myself. I could have been even happier killing corrupt officials and saving honest ones, but this time I went out and you four (one of whom is Liu Yong) made me unhappy."

The three of them said at the same time: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your slaves, deserve to die a thousand times."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Alright, alright, alright. I came to see you today, and I'll give you a test. Add two words to these lucky events and turn them into great misfortunes. First, it's just a game. Second, it will ease my depression. Third, you guessed it right and won the prize. You've all experienced the last two lucky events, so I won't tell you about them. Just think of them as rain after a long drought, or meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

Mo Li thought to herself, how can I even go through the wedding night when I haven’t gotten married yet?
