Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

The Queen Mother continued, "What on earth is it?"

He Shen thought about it, and with a plan in mind, he said, "Oh... To the Queen Mother, this is a great joyous event."

The Queen Mother asked, "Where does your joy come from?"

He Shen continued, "It is like this... The Emperor is going to choose a consort for the Eighteenth Princess."

Emperor Gai Zhang was startled when he heard this, and asked, "Eighteenth Princess?"

He Shen continued, "This is the Eighteenth Princess's lifelong event, so the Emperor and I have been very cautious and careful in our selection, not daring to disturb the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Gai Zhang and asked, "Is that so, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Um... it's like this, it's like this, the Eighteenth Princess has grown up."

The Queen Mother asked, "Then who does the Emperor have in mind?"

Emperor Gai Zhang stammered, "Um...that...that prince consort..." and poked Heshen with his folded folding fan.

He Shen said, "The son-in-law is this year's top scorer, Zhu Junhao. He is handsome and well-educated. He is the perfect choice for the son-in-law."

At this time, Mo Li walked in, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

He Shen glanced at Qiqi, wondering why he was here. This person must be up to no good.

Behind Mo Li was a eunuch who said, "Your Majesty, I tried to stop him just now, but Lord Mo insisted on barging in."

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can leave."

The eunuch said yes and left the imperial study.

The Queen Mother said, "Mo Li, please get up."

Mo Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I just heard that you are going to choose a consort for the Eighteenth Princess. I think your son Fengshen Yinde is a good candidate."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Although Zhu Junhao is a good man, he is a Han Chinese after all. I think what Mo Li said is right. We should choose Fengshen Yinde as our consort."

He Shen immediately said nervously: "Empress Dowager, this is absolutely not allowed."

Mo Li looked at He Shen and said, "Master He, why not?"

He Shen's mind raced as he said, "Well...well...Fengshen Yinde already has a sweetheart."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother was startled. "Whose daughter is this?"

He Shen said, "To be honest, it was Chun Tao, the maidservant in Lord Mo's house."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Fengshen Yinde is from a noble family after all. How could he fall in love with a maid? This is not a good match. Heshen, you must discipline your son well."

Heshen said, "Yes, yes, yes..." He thought to himself, Mo Li, you bastard, I will never let you go.

Mo Li looked very proud.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Lord Mo, if that is the case, then you should propose marriage to Fengshen Yinde on behalf of the Eighteenth Princess."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely fulfill your mission."

……

"Son, you could have married Chuntao, but just as I said that, Mo Li came and disrupted my plans."

Heshen walked into his son's study and said with a sad face.

Then sat down.

Fengshen Yinde asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

Heshen briefly told his son what had just happened.

Fengshen Yinde said, "I know Chuntao is a maid and doesn't fit in with our family, but I like her and I don't like that Eighteenth Princess. Isn't the Queen Mother forcing me?"

He Shen said, "Son, speak softly, don't let anyone with ulterior motives overhear. This marriage is settled. The Queen Mother's words are final, and there's no way to change them. Father can do nothing about it, so blame Mo Li if you want to."

Fengshen Yinde said, "But Daddy, how did Lord Mo know that you were discussing choosing a consort for the Eighteenth Princess? This is really strange."

He Shen said, "Son, this Mo Li is weird. He seems to know a lot of things in advance... Oh, now I remember, he has a friend named Wu Shudu, a Taoist priest. Maybe he figured it out in advance."
