Ziwei was walking by the lakeside of West Lake, looking at the shimmering West Lake with a strange beauty under the illumination of the lights, singing and dancing on the painted boats in the center of the lake, and Qianlong was probably on one of the painted boats, Ziwei looked at the distant The painting boat was in a daze, her back was a little sore, and she just stared at the painting boat in the distance as if she didn't notice it.

Qianlong is a man who loves the new and dislikes the old. Ziwei is his new favorite, so he often gets lucky opportunities. However, now that he is in love with Xia Yingying, even if he can't touch Xia Yingying, Qianlong will stay on the boat all night long. , even if it was purely covering the quilt and chatting, he would prefer to stay with Xia Yingying, not to mention he enjoyed the process very much.

"I have been completely fascinated by Miss Xia Yingying. The emperor is really passionate. He obviously just visited my mother. As expected..." Ziwei twisted her veil, her face was full of sadness, "Obviously... I also said that The one who loves me is really a flirtatious... hateful man."

At night in the West Lake, the moonlight is like water, like a dream. Qianlong accompanied Yingying every night, and gradually distinguished Xia Yingying from Yuhe, and paid more attention to Xia Yingying's distinct personality. Sometimes Qianlong summoned Xia Yingying, and she unexpectedly He would politely refuse and decide whether to board the ship to meet the emperor entirely based on his own mood. Qianlong Cong had never been rejected by a woman before, so he immediately felt the novelty and valued Xia Yingying even more.

Compared to Yuhe's tenderness, Qianlong obviously liked Xia Yingying's waywardness in addition to being gentle. Such a woman made him feel novel. Xia Yingying once squatted in front of Qianlong and softly whispered treacherous words: "The emperor , please forgive the disrespect of Minnv, Minnv thinks that people talk about fate, and it is fate for Minnen to meet the emperor by chance, if you are not in the mood, it is meaningless to reluctantly accompany the emperor."

Qianlong looked at Yingying with even more pity. He had never seen this woman in his life. He didn't belittle himself because he was the emperor, nor did he despise himself because he was a singing girl. Such a person is the one who can be with him. Qianlong silently He had an idea in his heart, he wanted this woman to follow him into the palace and stay by his side forever.

So Qianlong found Xia Yingying again on the eve of leaving West Lake: "Yingying, you... what do you think of me?"

Xia Yingying didn't say a word, she just stared at Qianlong with her clear eyes, there was an unspeakable tacit understanding between each other in the meaningful eyes, Qianlong looked at Yingying's eyes, and suddenly understood what Xia Yingying didn't say, He decided to bring Yingying back to the palace and make her a concubine, so that the tragedy between him and Yuhe could not be repeated. Life is too short, and he didn't want to miss out on a beautiful relationship.

Qianlong thought that he and Xia Yingying had a heart-to-heart connection, so he naturally didn't know who Xia Yingying's sarcasm was aimed at. Xia Yingying was sold into a brothel since she was a child, so how could she not understand these self-righteous benefactors In Xia Yingying's eyes, Qianlong was nothing more than a benefactor with more power behind him.

The next day, Qianlong specially summoned Ziwei, looking at Ziwei who bowed her head, Qianlong felt a little uneasy, but he quickly adjusted, and asked with a shy face: "Ziwei, you have seen Yingying, right? Do you think she looks a little familiar, I remember that when I saw Yuhe for the first time, I was under such a scene."

"Your majesty, my concubine thinks that Miss Yingying is as picturesque as a poem, but she is soft yet masculine, a strange woman with quite a personality. She is quite different from such a submissive wife. Your majesty, you miss your wife so much that you have this illusion." Let's go." Ziwei was impeccable when she spoke, and she didn't intend to let Qianlong find out her fault.

Qianlong paused for a long while before he said in a low voice: "My concubine, you know my feelings for Yingying. In fact, I regard Yingying as a substitute for Yuhe, so... I hope to see Yingying every day, but I really don't know how to arrange Yingying's identity."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Miss Yingying is a prodigal person, she is a performer rather than a prostitute. In addition, she is from a scholarly family, so she is still innocent. If the Emperor wants to let Miss Yingying enter the palace, it is nothing more than bringing Miss Yingying with her. By my side, after returning to Beijing, I will casually re-arrange Miss Yingying's identity as a wrapped flag, and there will be no major problems in entering the palace, and it will not damage the emperor's reputation, but..." Ziwei is considerate and naturally provides a solution Methods.

"But what!" Qianlong Hou grabbed Ziwei's hand anxiously, saw the flash of injury on Ziwei's face, suddenly realized something, and let go of his hand embarrassingly.

"However, Your Majesty, Lafayette has always been slightly dissatisfied with Miss Xia Yingying's identity this time. If the emperor wants Miss Xia to enter the palace, he must first ask Lafayette for instructions. The concubines are not liked by Lafayette, and they cannot be in front of Lafayette. Say something for Miss Xia, I am ashamed, please punish me." Ziwei looked guilty, and apologized first, presumably Qianlong would not be able to embarrass herself any longer.

Speaking of this, how could Qianlong have the nerve to push the matter to Ziwei again, and what Ziwei said made Qianlong feel guilty towards Ziwei. After a few words of reassurance, Qianlong decided to confess to the Queen Mother himself, even though he knew clearly that his family My mother hates these Han concubines the most, especially this Xia Yingying is a prostitute. However, Qianlong did not turn against the queen mother once or twice for women, and did not mind one more time. Qianlong has always advertised that he ruled the world with filial piety. case of a woman.

"Emiang, I have something to discuss with you, I..."

"Your Majesty doesn't want much, and Ai's family just happened to want to talk to the Emperor," the Empress Dowager said coldly, and she didn't even look at the Emperor. Qianlong also turned cold when he was treated so coldly by the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, he still remembered that this was his own mother. So I endured it and pretended to listen respectfully, "Emperor, you seem to have been in and out of some romantic places recently."

"This... my mother, today I met a woman who is not stained in the mud in this dusty place, she..."

"Hmph!" The queen mother put the quilt on the table heavily, "It is muddy but not stained, do you think that this dusty place is full of strange women like Su Xiaoxiao? How do you see these in the palace all year round? How did this j□j deceive the benefactor, if you bring such a j□j back to the palace, how will Aijia have the face to meet the late emperor after a hundred years!"

"Shut up!"

"..." Qianlong looked at the empress dowager with a bad face, so he ignored it. He paused and said, "Emiang, you just say that because you don't know Yingying. She comes from a scholarly family, and she does not sell herself..."

The Empress Dowager listened to Qianlong's obsessive chatter with a pale face: "Enough, Emperor, the Ai family knows that you don't listen to Ai's words, and the Ai family also knows your plan. They want Xia Yingying to enter the palace with a different identity. As long as the Ai family The family doesn't allow it, even if you are the emperor, it's useless, even if the Ai family dies, they won't let such a picky thing enter the palace, you should give up."

A death-like silence filled the gap between the two people who were facing each other. Qianlong's face was not good-looking. Since he became the emperor, no one dared to disobey him like this. Even his own mother was unforgivable: "My mother, your age When I grow up, I will continue to stay in Wutai Mountain to pray for the Qing Dynasty, and the matters in the palace will be handled by Concubine Dai for the time being." After saying that, Qianlong walked away.

"Lafayette, Lafayette, what's the matter with you, imperial physician, pass on the imperial physician!" Qianlong didn't seem to see the fainted queen mother behind him, and Zhihua's panicked scream could only be heard on the whole ship. A few days later, the queen mother used a sharp The hairpin cut his wrist and committed suicide.

Qianlong was busy with the empress dowager's funeral, and at the same time he had to think about how to bring Xia Yingying into the palace. The fifth elder brother had to kneel in front of the empress dowager's coffin to accompany the emperor. No one paid attention to the whereabouts of the little swallow, and no one found the little swallow It can even be said to be mature when it becomes calm a little bit.
