In stark contrast to the noisy and chaotic scene in Shufangzhai, the Kunning Palace was filled with a rare warm atmosphere at this moment.

Yongji's big watery eyes looked up at his mother with longing. This was the first time since he could remember that the Empress Dowager treated him so affectionately, and for the first time ever, she held him tightly in her arms.

"Empress Huang..."

The Queen gazed at the admiration in her son's eyes, and a pang of pain pierced her heart. She held Yongji's arms tighter and tighter, "Yongji, it was all the Queen Mother's fault in the past. She owes you too much. From now on, if you miss the Queen Mother after class, you can come over anytime. In a few days, your Royal Father will take us out for an outing, and then we'll be able to show you the outside world!"

Upon hearing this, Yongji's eyes lit up with excitement, and he peppered himself with questions like a cannonball: "Really? Father, are you really going with me? Will you, Empress Dowager, come along? And Sister Ziwei, will she go too?"

The clear and sweet childish voice was like the sound of nature, instantly softening the Queen's heart. She extended her long and slender hand, gently caressing Yongji's little head, and asked tenderly, "Does Yongji particularly like Sister Ziwei?"

"Yes, Sister Ziwei can play with Yongji and teach him many things, which Master Ji doesn't know! Madam, I want to give the jade cicada you gave me to Sister Ziwei."

The queen was a little surprised. The jade cicada was Yongji's favorite thing. She didn't expect that he wanted to give it to Ziwei now. It showed that he really liked Ziwei.

"If Yongji likes the jade cicada, he can keep it. The Empress Dowager has other good things."

Yongji pulled out the jade pendant hanging around his neck and took it off. "No, I want to give this to Sister Ziwei. Sister said that the world is actually very big. There are many countries, especially on the other side of the ocean. There are many white-skinned, yellow-haired, green-eyed people, and there are also black people whose bodies are blacker than coal. We are yellow-skinned, black-haired yellow people... Queen Mother, when Yongji grows up, I really want to visit those places!"

It was the first time that the queen had heard such words. She wanted to ask for clarification when she heard familiar footsteps outside.

"Where does Yongji want to go? Let me hear it too." Qianlong stepped into the room, helped the queen up, and then looked at little Yongji with a smile on his face.

Yongji subconsciously moved closer to the Queen, her body trembling slightly. The Queen patted her head lovingly and encouraged her, "Be good, speak boldly."

Hearing his mother's words, Yongji looked up at the emperor's beaming face, feeling somewhat flattered. He then carefully repeated what he had just said, "Imperial Father, when Yongji grows up, can he go see the outside world? I want to see the different customs of different countries. Sister Ziwei said that every country has its own strengths, and we should have a broad vision and not just sit in a well and look at the world from a small perspective."

As an emperor, Qianlong naturally came into contact with foreign missionaries and knew that in addition to the Qing Dynasty, there were many countries with people of other skin colors.

But he didn't expect that Ziwei, a weak woman, actually knew all this. This girl really makes people look at her with admiration time and time again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yongji asked cautiously, "Father Emperor, is Yongji okay?"

Looking at his moist eyes, Qianlong took his little hand and said, "Yongji, if you want to go, go ahead. But you have to study hard. Every country has a different language. If you can't even speak their language, how are you going to survive there? And you have to learn martial arts well, so that you can protect yourself and not let your mother worry."

"Is the Emperor speaking Y language? Yongji knows it. He nods yes and shakes his head no. He says "e" for coming and "go" for leaving. I am I and you are you. When you meet someone, you say "Hello"... "

Yongji spoke skillfully, leaving the Empress dumbfounded, not understanding what he was saying. Qianlong was a little surprised; he knew a few simple words, but this was the first time he had heard such a jingle.

Qianlong applauded. "Great, great! Yongji is amazing! He can even speak Western bird language. I will give you whatever you want."

This was the first time he had been praised in his life. His tender little face flushed with excitement, which was very cute. Qianlong felt itchy and directly pulled him over and pinched his cheeks twice. This action directly shocked everyone present.

"Ahem, Yongji, go call your sister Ziwei over." Qianlong withdrew his hand, calmly sent the person out, and then pinched the queen's cheek, which made the queen so embarrassed that she dared not raise her head.

"Hahahahaha~~"

Ziwei held Yongji's hand and heard Qianlong's exaggerated laughter from a distance. His lung capacity was really extraordinary. No wonder he could become the longest-lived emperor in history.

"Sister Ziwei, the Emperor not only smiled at me today, but also praised me!" Yongji said excitedly while shaking Ziwei's arm.

"Yongji did a good job. This is for you." Ziwei stretched out her other hand, revealing the lifelike katydid in her palm.

Yongji took it and realized that the katydid was actually made of weaved grass. "Sister Ziwei, you are so amazing. You can actually weave weaved grass into small animals. I want to show it to the emperor father and the emperor mother."

After saying that, he ran away with the cigarette in his hands, leaving Ziwei laughing in silence.

Yongji is a really cute kid, but he is too naive because he is protected by the queen. If this kid is trained well, he will not be any worse than the brainless Yongqi.

When she stepped into the room, everyone inside looked over.

"Ziwei, come quickly." The queen happily pulled her hand. "You are really capable of everything. You can even make grass come alive. Rong Mama, go get the flute from my dowry and give it to Ziwei."

Aunt Rong hesitated, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. That flute is..."

The Queen interrupted her, "It's okay, Ziwei is not an ordinary person, and that flute is probably only used by her."

When Rong Mama saw the queen's unique face, she finally reacted and happily went to get the things.

Ziwei looked at the wooden box in her hand. She didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, but it looked very valuable. After opening it, she found an emerald green flute lying quietly inside.

It looked very extraordinary, and Ziwei closed the lid without hesitation, "Empress, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
