Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

The smile on Qianlong's face never faded. For thousands of years, which emperor had ever been able to soar through the heavens like him? He truly was a man of great fortune!

After hearing what Yongji said, Qianlong was also filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "This is extremely amazing. I think it must be the magic of the immortals that can achieve such a miracle! Ziwei, this sword can actually fly on its own, and fly so smoothly. Could it be that it already has its own consciousness?"

Ziwei smiled softly upon hearing this and replied gently, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry or fear. This sword hasn't yet developed any sense of self. To make it move, I'll need to channel my inner spiritual energy to guide it. Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Don't worry about falling from the sky. We're heading south now, and the temperature will gradually warm up. Once we reach Hainan Island, we won't need to wear such heavy clothing; light clothing will be enough to withstand the warm weather."

The Queen gently stroked her swollen belly, a gentle smile on her face. She spoke softly, "My mother is fine, but I'm just wondering where Hainan Island is located. Is it really warmer and more pleasant than Jiangnan? I've heard that Jiangnan winters are not cold at all, and that people in the south have never even witnessed snowflakes dancing in the air. Are these rumors true?"

How would Ziwei know this? But there is no global warming now. The four seasons are distinct. It is extremely cold in the north as soon as late autumn comes. Now it is so cold in winter that you can't even stretch out your hands. Can the temperature in the south still be so warm now?

"It's really warm there. Although there are historical records of snowfall, it's rare compared to the north! Hainan Island, this beautiful island, is located in the northern part of the vast South China Sea. Its climate is even warmer and more pleasant than that of the Yangtze River Delta!"

"The scenery there is enchanting, with beaches as white as snow and as fine as silk. When you walk on them, you can almost feel the soft caress of the sand beneath your feet. And the crystal clear blue waters, so clear you can see the bottom, sparkling and beautiful."

"The climate here is warm and humid, and it's as vibrant as spring all year round. It's simply the perfect place to escape the cold! If the Empress Dowager takes a liking to this place, then from now on, every winter, Ziwei will personally escort the Empress Dowager to Hainan Island to escape the cold."

Ziwei's mind was filled with images of her playing with her bestie on the beach in Hainan in her previous life, and her eyes were filled with smiles. The other three people didn't notice. They were attracted by Ziwei's description and yearned for Hainan Island even more.

"Alas! Is there such a wonderful place in this world? I have traveled south many times to inspect the Jiangnan region, but the farthest I have ever reached is only the shores of the world-famous West Lake. As for the vast and boundless ocean, I have never had the opportunity to see it with my own eyes."

"I've heard that there are many islands in the sea and that pirates are rampant. Is this true? If so, next year, why not have Fu Kang'an lead the army to wipe out those abominable pirates? That way, the fishermen and people living along the coast won't have to suffer their wanton harassment anymore!"

Pirates? Life is truly tough for the fishermen along the coast these days! They lack advanced boats and efficient fishing tools, so going out to sea to fish is simply a pipe dream. At best, they can only scrape together a few seafood catches along the shore to make a living. What could those pirates possibly steal from them?

However, in the future, I can pretend to be a pirate and go to the western waters to have some fun!

After all, this is our own land, but Qianlong is so indifferent to the people's livelihood! Look at the Guangdong region today. To them, it is nothing more than a remote, uncivilized and barbaric place. It would be better to take this opportunity to let him experience the real living conditions of the people firsthand.

"Father, look, there's really not much worth seeing along the way from here to Jiangnan. Why don't we speed up and get to the south as soon as possible to find a suitable place to rest and recuperate? And by the way, let Empress Dowager and Brother Yongji taste the unique southern cuisine."

Qianlong nodded slightly in agreement. Although he still felt a little regretful, he had been south many times before, and this time the schedule was quite tight. The mysterious and deep underwater world was exactly what he longed for.

"Okay, then I'll have to speed up! If Empress Dowager feels any discomfort, please tell me!"

By increasing the input of spiritual energy, the flying sword shot out like a rocket, but the four people on it did not feel any discomfort at all, but they could not see anything below at all.

Yongji cheered excitedly, but fortunately he was held in Qianlong's arms, so he did not jump up and down.

The flying sword was moving very fast. The three of them could not see the situation below, but Ziwei could see it clearly. When it entered the range of Guangdong, she slowed down the speed of the flying sword.

"Ziwei, have we arrived in Lingnan?" Qianlong squinted his eyes and looked down. The living standards of the people here were obviously not as good as those in Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Ziwei nodded. "This is Guangdong. The lychees that Yang Guifei loved to eat are all grown here. It's a pity that lychees aren't in season yet, but there are many other fruits besides lychees. Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, bananas, pineapples, strawberries, kiwis, persimmons, dragon fruit, and loquats."

"Each fruit has different nutritional properties. Eating more is good for the body. We can collect more and take some back home. When transportation develops in the future, the north and the south will be connected, and the flow of goods will be faster. People in the north will also be able to eat fruits from the south."

Yongji clapped his hands excitedly. "Okay, let's buy some more to take back. There's not much fruit in the capital. I haven't even heard of many of the fruits Sister Ziwei mentioned. How about we take the Imperial Mama with us when we pass by Mount Wutai on our way home? It's snowing there now, and the roads along the way must be difficult to travel."

Qianlong had always been filial, and when he heard his child suddenly mention this, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. There had been a lot of things going on recently, and he seemed to have really forgotten the Empress Dowager.

I didn’t expect that my youngest son would be so filial. I couldn’t help but look at Ziwei. Is that okay?
