Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

Ji Yun has always had a special liking for delicious food, and the piece of barbecue in his hand at this moment, which was not coated with any seasoning, actually exuded a unique and tempting aroma that was unforgettable.

He licked his lips with a look of satisfaction, then raised a thumbs-up with his greasy hands and exclaimed, "Oh my! This rabbit caught by waiting is truly extraordinary! This really opened my eyes today. Miss Ziwei, well done!"

Emin, standing by, was completely bewildered as Ji Yun spoke. Miss Ziwei was a delicate, frail woman, powerless as a chicken. How could she possibly have anything to do with catching rabbits? Emin couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'waiting for the rabbits to come'? Didn't you catch these rabbits yourself?"

Hearing this, Ji Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered to himself: These generals are really simple-minded and strong-limbed.

He cleared his throat and explained, "I'm just a weak scholar. How could I possibly catch those nimble hares? See that big tree over there? These rabbits just stupidly bumped into it on their own. Isn't it amazing? This is what they call waiting for the rabbit by the tree!"

However, Emin obviously still didn't quite believe it. He frowned and said doubtfully: "How can there be such a stupid rabbit in this world? You are not deliberately fooling me, are you? Also, why did you suddenly mention Miss Ziwei just now?" As he said that, he gently poked Ji Yun with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"You are such a fool, think for yourself." Ji Yun showed him his white teeth and bit off a piece of rabbit meat.

Emin: …

Yongji ate until his mouth was dripping with oil. "Sister Ziwei is amazing. She knows everything."

The queen chuckled and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

It was very lively here, but the atmosphere on the other side was a bit depressed.

Yongqi led the Fu family, father and son, into the dense forest, but they didn't venture deep into it, staying just a short distance from the edge. Hidden by the underbrush, they could just make out the figures of the Emperor and his companions in the distance. Witnessing the Emperor's meticulous care for Yongji, Yongqi felt an indescribable bitterness well up in his heart.

Among the many princes, he was the only one who was doted on. Yet, even so, the Emperor never personally fed him, not even a morsel of meat, nor did he ever ask if he was thirsty. And now, how could a mere child, Yongji, who was still wet behind the ears, deserve such treatment?

Fu Erkang stared at Ziwei's blossoming smile in ecstasy, his mind racing with thoughts of how to find the right opportunity to approach her. This time, she and the Twelfth Prince were almost inseparable.

Fu Lun, standing by, stared longingly at the fragrant rabbit meat and swallowed his saliva uncontrollably. He felt so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back...

Fuertai first glanced at Yongqi, then turned his gaze to Fulkang. After pacing back and forth twice, he suddenly lowered his voice and growled, "Didn't you all notice that Xiaoyanzi has disappeared without a trace?"

"What? Xiaoyanzi is missing? Wasn't she fishing by the river? When did she disappear?" Upon hearing this, Yongqi's lingering annoyance instantly vanished, replaced by endless anxiety and worry. He frantically grasped Forte's shoulders, shaking him desperately, as if trying to wring any information about Xiaoyanzi's whereabouts from him.

"Yongqi, calm down first! Xiaoyanzi will definitely not be too far away. Look at the empty space around here, there is nothing. She is very likely to have run into the woods. Let's split up and look for her." Fuerkang held Yongqi's hands tightly and pulled him hard to prevent him from bothering Ertai again.

Yongqi slowly withdrew his hand, then knocked his forehead hard and said in annoyance: "Well, you are right, let's do it! Whether we find it or not, we will return to this place to gather in the end." After that, he took a deep breath and randomly picked a direction to look for it.

Fu Lun on the side sighed helplessly, his eyes swept over the unfinished barbecue in everyone's hands, and then walked in a direction where no one went, and began to look for Xiaoyanzi's whereabouts.

"Little Swallow... Little Swallow..." Urgent calls came from afar. The people who were chatting and laughing stopped what they were doing and looked towards the forest where the sound came from.

Qianlong frowned, turned to look at Ziwei with a serious face, and asked, "Ziwei, do you know where Xiaoyanzi is now?"

Ziwei nodded gently and replied in a very firm tone: "Don't worry, Father, Xiaoyanzi didn't go far, she just fell asleep."

Hearing this, Ji Yun and Emin were utterly surprised. They looked at each other, bewildered. After all, Ziwei hadn't left their side the entire time, so how could she have known Xiaoyanzi's whereabouts so well? Furthermore, this forest was quite large, and it would be difficult to pinpoint a person's exact location without seeing them firsthand.

Just a short distance away, Forte's sharp eyes caught sight of what looked like a scrap of clothing hidden in the grass. He approached with trepidation, his movements gentle, as if afraid to disturb anything. As he gently parted the grass, the sight before him stunned him—the person lying there was Xiaoyanzi!

The next moment, Forte's cheeks flushed red as if they had been burned by fire. Little Swallow's front was wet, and even the color of her bellyband was faintly visible.

After a moment's thought, Forte decisively took off his outer robe and carefully draped it over Little Swallow. He then took two steps back. Then, he cupped his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Little Swallow is found—Little Swallow is found—"

The shout echoed in the air, finally waking up the sleeping little swallow. She stretched lazily, opened her eyes drowsily, and asked in confusion, "Ertai, why are you here?"

Before he could finish his words, Yongqi hurried over. Seeing Xiaoyanzi lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled and still covered in Ertai's coat, he felt a surge of inexplicable anger. He reached out and grabbed Ertai's coat tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he demanded, almost frantically, "What on earth did you do to Xiaoyanzi?"
