The Empress Dowager passed away in the Old Summer Palace, and Qianlong was so sad that he did not return to the Forbidden City all winter. He stayed in the Old Summer Palace to remember the Empress Dowager, crying like rain every day, and often recalled the past when the Empress Dowager Feng traveled to the south of the Yangtze River.

Knowing that the emperor mourned the empress dowager, officials from all over the country did not dare to be negligent, and they asked the emperor to travel to the south of the Yangtze River again to comfort the empress dowager.

So, just after the first month, Qianlong took the harem concubines, princes, and underage princesses to the south of the Yangtze River again.

Because it is a memory of the Empress Dowager's travels, along the way, in addition to the necessary inspections of government affairs, reviewing the army and summoning celebrities, Qianlong also frequently met and praised filial sons and chaste women. Anyone who wholeheartedly takes care of the elderly over [-] years old can be rewarded tax-free, so as to encourage the world People should put filial piety first.

The policy of public libraries and library buildings implemented by Yong Cong years ago also began to bear fruit at this time. During the southern tour team, local officials often reported to Qianlong how many new schools, libraries, and books had been built in the local area. Lou, studying and studying is becoming a common practice in the local area.

Qianlong liked Fengya, and when he heard about this, even though his face was damaged and he couldn't easily see others, he immediately asked the officials to arrange a carriage to take him to a teahouse near the public library to check the situation.

The carriage stopped in front of the library, and Qianlong saw through the curtains the literati in front of the library entering and leaving, and sitting in the teahouse, he saw Professor Hongru giving lectures in the opposite library, and praised: "As expected of the child of my mother and the queen! Yong Cong has talent and learning, which can be put to great use!"

The surrounding officials hurriedly followed suit and flattered them, saying that Brother Qi had this talent and knowledge, all because of the emperor's good teaching.

Qianlong had heard of flattery, and his gloomy heart finally had sunshine.

After the secret investigation was over, Qianlong went back to the palace, drinking tea in the Humble Administrator's Garden on the way home, and saw a female teacher playing games with female students in the pavilion from a distance, and asked, "What kind of novelty is this?"

The official said: "Your Majesty, this is the girls' school that Eleventh Brother launched after he took office in the Ministry of Rites. It only recruits female students and only employs female teachers. Those who have spare money send their daughters to the girls' school to study with female teachers. Writing, female celebrity cooking, managing accounts and financial management, and marrying into a better family in the name of talent and learning after completion of studies."

"It's a good idea."

Qianlong liked talented women, and he did not agree with the popular saying that "women are virtuous without talent", but this idea was beneficial to his rule, so he never publicly reprimanded and opposed it.

Now Yongxing promotes women's schools, and the teaching purpose of women's schools is to enable women to better care for their husbands and children after marriage, which does not violate Qianlong's ruling philosophy. The school selects outstanding and beautiful female students to go back to Beijing with him.

The local officials deliberately let Qianlong meet a female teacher and play games with the female students in the garden. Seeing that Qianlong was really happy with his words, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Although the female teachers in the women's school are daughters, But they are also quite talented, the emperor might as well send them to the palace to study."

"Do you want to go to the palace to test your knowledge?"

Qianlong pulled his lips into a smile, and said: "The women's school is Yongxing's idea, I really want to study it myself!"

"Slave, go down and make arrangements!"

The local officials were overjoyed and stepped aside.

……

……

The news that Qianlong wanted to summon the female teachers and female students of the female school in the palace soon spread to the ears of Yong Cong and others.

Yong Xing was young, when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and said: "Is this what Huang Ama agrees with us?"

Yong Qi looked solemn, and said to Yong Xing: "You think things too simply."

"Which is easier?"

Yong Xing looked at his elder brothers in puzzlement.

Yong Cong didn't answer, and said to Yong Xing: "Let's go to Huang'er Niang, tell Huang Er Niang about this, and let her make up for us."

"it is good."

Yong Xing simply agreed.

Several princes came to the queen's place together and reported that Huang Ama was going to meet the female wife.

She Shuxian and Qianlong have been a plastic couple for so many years, how could she not know that he summoned his wife, children and students because of another sexual illness, and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to add a younger sister to the palace again."

"what!"

Yong Xing was shocked, and said: "Emperor Niang, how could Huang Ama be like this—"

"He is the emperor, and all the women in the world belong to him. Naturally, he can be lucky to whomever he wants."

She Shuxian said slowly: "Fortunately, your Empress Ama prides herself on being romantic and affectionate. If a woman swears to die, the Emperor will not force her."

"But how many women in the world can stop the wealth of the Forbidden City?"

Yong Cong sighed worriedly.

At this time, Prince Hongzhou and Prince Hongzhou walked into the palace with the parrot cage, originally to share with the queen how to raise parrots, seeing several elder brothers standing in front of the queen like wooden stakes, they were surprised: "What happened? Why do you all..."

"Huang Ama came back from a private visit today. He wants to hear about his wife and students. We are worried that he is going to bring Jiangnan girls back to the palace again, and we are at a loss."

Yong Cong looked melancholy, and said: "Not to mention whether such actions will leave bad words in the history books, Huang Ama is already very old now, and really can't bear to toss about."

"That's right, if Huang Ama likes women from Jiangnan Road, local officials can choose gentle and well-educated people to send to the capital, so why—"

Yong Qi also sighed.

She Shuxian looked at Hong Zhou and said, "Prince He, what do you think about this matter?"

"Things are tricky!"

Hong Zhou sighed, and then said: "Jiang Ning Zhizao bought a batch of lean horses from Yangzhou a few years ago, and they have been trained almost, and they are going to be sent to the emperor's brother in a few days. Since the situation has changed, the king has decided to send these lean horses immediately. Take them back to the palace, and let them sing and dance in front of the emperor tonight, to make the emperor happy, and then wait for the opportunity to persuade him to change his mind."

"The emperor's temperament has changed drastically since his face was damaged, and he is often irritable and angry. Indeed, he can only make him happy first and then persuade him to change his mind."

She Shuxian agreed with Hong Zhou's idea.

Yong Xing said: "Uncle Wu, what exactly is the skinny horse you mentioned just now?"

"The beautiful-looking and thin women in the south of the Yangtze River are often sold to rich families by their families because of their poor family background. They teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework women's red. The outside world calls this type of woman a skinny horse."

"It sounds pitiful," Yong Xing rubbed his chin, "but it's hard for a girl from a poor family to live, and being bought and sold by her family as a skinny horse seems to be a way out."

Yong Cong said: "I hope that one day, under the bright moon of the Qing Dynasty, no one will have to sell their sons and daughters because of suffering."

She Shuxian said: "Seventh elder brother loves the people personally, works hard to govern, and will definitely make the Qing Dynasty strong, the people rich, and there will be no more inhumane tragedies!"
