Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Inside the palace, there were magnificent halls. Guards stared blankly ahead, ready to react immediately to any disturbance.

In the main hall, the Empress Dowager sat on the left and the Emperor Gai Zhang sat on the right. Between them was a screen with the word "Shou" written in gold on a red background.

A eunuch said, "Fukang'an has come to present a birthday gift."

Two attendants came in carrying a banner with four large golden characters "Long Live Me" written on it.

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Fu Kang'an with a smile on his face.

Fu Kang'an bowed and said, "Fu Kang'an wishes the Queen Mother a long life."

The Queen Mother said, "Stand up, Fu Kang'an, what gift do you have?"

Fu Kangan said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. This was made when Fu Kangan conquered the enemy chieftain's golden crown."

The Queen Mother said, "It is very good, very good, to have the good news delivered as a birthday gift."

Fu Kang'an said, "Thank you, Queen Mother," and stood aside.

A eunuch said, "Mo Lijin presents a birthday gift."

An attendant walked in with an exquisite treasure box in both hands.

Mo Li quickly opened the treasure box and revealed the item inside, which turned out to be a relic.

Mo Li bowed and said, "Mo Li wishes the Queen Mother a long life."

The Queen Mother said, "Stand up, Mo Li, what gift did you give?"

Mo Li said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. This is the relic that was blessed by the senior monks in the Huguo Temple when Mo Li was practicing there."

The Queen Mother said, "Namo Amitabha, very good, very good."

Mo Li said, "Thank you, Queen Mother," and stood aside.

A eunuch said, "Zhangjia Agui is here to present a birthday gift."

An attendant came in holding a golden helmet.

Ah Gui bowed and said, "Ah Gui wishes the Queen Mother a long life."

The Queen Mother said, "Stand up, Agui, what gift do you have?"

Ah Gui said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. This is the spoils that Ah Gui and Fu Kang'an captured when we suppressed the rebellion in Jinchuan."

The Queen Mother said, "You have done a great job in suppressing the rebellion. Very good, very good."

Agui said, "Thank you, Queen Mother," and stood aside.

A eunuch said, "Heshen is presenting a birthday gift."

An attendant came in carrying a large cabbage.

Just kidding, this is not real cabbage, it is made of glass.

He Shen bowed and said, "He Shen wishes the Empress Dowager a long and healthy life."

The Queen Mother said, "Stand up, Heshen, what gift did you give me?"

He Shen said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. This is a jade cabbage made of colored glaze by me. It symbolizes purity and innocence."

The Queen Mother said, "Very good, very good."

Heshen said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager," and stood aside.

A eunuch said, "Ji Xiaolan presents a birthday gift."

An attendant came in holding a scroll.

Ji Xiaolan bowed and said, "I wish the Empress Dowager a long life."

The Queen Mother said, "Please stand up, Ji Xiaolan, what gift did you give me?"

Ji Xiaolan unfolded the scroll and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. This is the birthday poem I wrote myself."

He then read out the birthday poem.

At this time, Emperor Gai Zhang noticed that the scroll was empty, without a single word, and asked, "Ji Xiaolan, where are your words?"

When Ji Xiaolan looked back, he was shocked and wondered why the words he had written disappeared.

Someone must have switched the gifts. Judging from the emperor's expression, it might have been the other person's doing.

Emperor Gai Zhang looked very proud at this time.

Mo Li immediately came to Ji Xiaolan's rescue, saying, "Your Majesty, Ji Xiaolan's calligraphy is unrivaled in the world. He must have wanted to write on the spot."

Ji Xiaolan also nodded repeatedly.

The Stamp Emperor said, "Oh? Interesting. Bring me the pen and the four treasures of the study."

Soon someone brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Ji Xiaolan glanced at Heshen and said, "Master He, please help me grind the ink."

He Shen thought to himself, "I won't do this," and shook his head. Mo Li gave He Shen a look of disdain, then walked over to Ji Xiaolan and helped him grind the ink.

Ji Xiaolan wrote a birthday poem very quickly.

After the Queen Mother looked at it, she said, "Not bad, not bad."

Ji Xiaolan said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager," and stood aside.

A eunuch said, "Liu Yongjin presents a birthday gift."

An attendant came in with some old books.

Liu Yong bowed and said, "Liu Yong wishes the Queen Mother a long life."

The Queen Mother said, "Stand up, Liu Yong, what gift did you bring?"

Liu Yong said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. These are the secret recipes for longevity that I collected from some of the centenarians while visiting the people."

The Queen Mother said, "Very good, very good. It is rare for you to have such a filial heart."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Yong stood aside.

……

In the theater, the sound of musical instruments is endless.

The actors on the stage performed various shows.

Backstage, Du Xiaoyue was sitting in front of the mirror quietly putting on makeup.

At this time, a familiar voice came: "Xiaoyue."

Du Xiaoyue turned around and saw Mochou, and said, "Sister, why are you here?"

Mo Chou looked extremely anxious and said, "The soldiers are looking for me everywhere."

Xiaoyue said, "Sister, hide in the theater. If anyone dares to catch you, I will fight them."

Mo Chou took out something and said, "Xiao Yue, please keep this for me. Don't lose it, okay?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "Sister, don't worry. When has Xiaoyue ever lost anything?" After a quick look, it turned out to be a book.
