Feng Laiyi

After another half a month, after the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, the lively atmosphere in the palace gradually faded away, and Qianlong also took time to check the homework handed in by the little swallow—fifty times "Female Commandment" and "Internal Training" ".

There are all kinds of handwriting on the rice paper. Qianlong had already guessed that someone would help little Yanzi, so he was not surprised. It was just that the most beautiful handwriting with the largest number of words caught his attention. He took out a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. Unexpectedly, the figure of the maid who played and sang in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day appeared.

So that night, Qianlong only brought Wu Shulai alone, and suddenly appeared in Shufangzhai. When the night was darker, the hall of Shufangzhai was brightly lit, and there was a faint singing voice accompanied by the sound of the piano. Qianlong couldn't help but frowned.

The eunuchs and maids in Shufangzhai thought they had already fallen asleep, but no one was guarding them. Qianlong stood and listened for a while in the courtyard, and then walked over and opened the door. Only Little Yanzi, Xia Ziwei and Jin Suo three were in the hall. Personally, when I heard the door knocking and raised my head to see Qianlong, I was startled.

"Huang Ama, why are you here in the middle of the night?" The sleepy little Yanzi suddenly woke up, and quickly jumped up to greet her. These days, under Xia Ziwei's "earnest and kind temptation", she has learned a lot of rules.

Xia Ziwei and Jin Suo also knelt down hurriedly, Qianlong didn't answer Little Yanzi's words, just looked at Xia Ziwei, and asked: "Last time I heard you say, your name is Xia Ziwei?"

"Yes." Xia Ziwei answered with her head lowered, but her heart was turned upside down, and she wanted to shout out: "He remembers my name! He remembers my name!"

"Get up." Qianlong said lightly, found a comfortable chair and sat down, while Xia Ziwei and Jinsuo hurried back and forth to serve tea and water.

"Your Majesty." Xia Ziwei held a cup of tea and said, "This is the Biluochun from West Lake. I heard that the emperor's favorite drink was this Biluochun when he was on a tour to the south. The slaves have carefully selected it, and only kept A piece of leaf heart is the tenderest."

"You have intentions." Qianlong was a little surprised, took a sip of the tea, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"The servant is from Shandong." Xia Ziwei replied respectfully.

"Shandong? It's a good place." Qianlong sighed, put down his teacup, and asked again, "Where is Shandong?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it's Jinan, Shandong." Xia Ziwei bit her lip and replied with a slightly trembling voice.

"Huang Ama!" Little Yanzi interrupted suddenly: "Ziwei and I are fellow villagers, we two have known each other since we were young, and she and I are sworn sisters, why don't you accept her as a 'goddess' too!"

"Nonsense!" Qianlong glared at Little Yanzi, and shouted, "Do you think it's easy to accept a foster daughter?"

Xia Ziwei was taken aback, afraid that Little Yanzi would blurt out something she shouldn't say, she hurriedly said: "Ge Ge has no intentions, please don't misunderstand me! Ziwei is already very content to be by Ge Ge's side and be a court lady." .”

Qianlong smiled again, and suddenly asked, "Can you play chess?"

"Your maidservant knows a thing or two." Xia Ziwei replied, looking at Qianlong with bright eyes.

Then, Qianlong and Xia Ziwei played five games of chess in a row. After the last game was over, it was only half an hour before the court time. Qianlong got up and left. Before leaving, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ziwei said, "I didn't expect Shufangzhai to hide such a talented woman like you. If I guessed correctly, it must be your handwriting."

After Qianlong finished speaking, he took another deep look at Xia Ziwei, and turned around with Wu Shulai.

Xia Ziwei opened the paper in her hand and saw that it was a page of "Women's Admonitions" that she had copied for Xiaoyanzi. She felt admiration, excitement and panic in her heart, and murmured: "Little Yanzi, he is indeed the most The wisest and greatest emperor."

Qianlong actually played chess with a court lady in Shufangzhai all night, and that court lady was Xia Ziwei who played and sang in the Hall of Preservation and Harmony on New Year's Eve. It didn't take long for this story to spread to all palaces and courtyards. , Xia Ziwei has become the target of public criticism, but she doesn't know it yet.

As the weather warmed up day by day, Qianlong became interested again. After discussing with the queen, he decided to choose a sunny day for a tour in micro-clothes. Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, Fu Erkang, and Xia Ziwei were among the four who accompanied him. On the day they got the letter, they gathered in Jingyang Palace and muttered for a long time, deciding that this tour was a great opportunity, and everyone's heart was filled with various expectations.

Although it was a tour in micro-clothes, Qianlong was the king of a country and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty after all, so the team was still mighty, with chariots and horses, generals and followers, although everyone tried to "ride lightly" as much as possible. "Simple dress", but the team is still very spectacular, fortunately Qianlong is pretending to be the master of a rich family, which makes sense.

Qianlong, Hechun, Xiaoyanzi, and Xia Ziwei sat in the carriage behind, Ji Xiaolan followed the imperial doctor Hu and sat in the front carriage, Yongqi, Fu Heng, Fukan'an, Duolong, Fuer Kang, E Min and some attendants rode horses to follow the carriage, front, rear and sides.

"My lord! Look at the scenery outside, how beautiful it is, the blue sky, the white clouds, I am so happy, I want to sing a song for you!" Once out of the capital, he walked on the suburban road with fewer people , Little Yanzi seemed to be having fun, almost everyone inside and outside the car could hear her "loud and clear" voice, compared to He Chun and Xia Ziwei, both seemed very quiet.

"You can sing?" Qianlong looked in a good mood and said with a big laugh.

"Master, don't look down on people!" Little Yanzi yelled loudly, and said unconvinced: "Although the songs I sing are not as good as Ziwei's, they are not far behind."

"Oh?" Qianlong sat up straight, raised some interest, and said, "Then you sing and listen."

Little Swallow raised her head and opened her mouth, and sang: "Xiao Erlang, carry that schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, nor afraid of the wind and rain, only afraid that the master will say that I am uneducated and shameless to see my parents."

He Chun really wanted to [cover her face], she really didn't dare to compliment Little Swallow's voice, it was comparable to a broken gong, it's really a shame that she could say that she sang well, and I felt ashamed for her .

"Little Swallow? Are you singing?" Qianlong stared at Little Swallow dumbfounded, feeling a dull pain in his head.

"Yeah, how's it going? Master, I can sing pretty well." Little Swallow said with a smile.

"Puchi." He Chun finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, the other three immediately looked at her, and He Chun coughed twice, pretending to look out the window.

Qianlong is the "Master" and Hechun is the "Miss" this time, while Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are both "maids". Xiaoyanzi was a little dissatisfied and pure on her head, but now she sees Hechun making fun of herself The singing sounded even more agitated, and just as she was about to explode, Xia Ziwei tugged at her sleeve, signaling that she couldn't be reckless, so she had to hold back.

"Actually, there is another way to sing this song." Xia Ziwei said softly, and sang it before Qianlong could speak: "Little girl, go to school with your homework, look up to see mice, and look down to see cockroaches. Afraid that I will be asked to write, Yujia ladybug, the paper is full of absurdity."

Compared with Xiao Yanzi's just now, Xia Ziwei's soft and beautiful voice is like heaven and earth, and she also cleverly changed the lyrics temporarily, making He Chun couldn't help but admire that she really has a skill.

It's a pity that the weather was unpredictable, before the end of Xia Ziwei's song fell to the ground, a thunder rang out, and in an instant, the clouds were covered with thunder and lightning, and in a short while, there was a torrential rain. It was drenched in the water, but at this time the carriage also sank into a big pit with a bang, unable to move.

Seeing this, Vulkang jumped off the horse's back in a jiffy. Unexpectedly, the ground was slippery, his feet slipped and he rushed forward two steps, almost falling off the horse. Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw it. But due to his identity, he could only endure it, but Duolong laughed unscrupulously, which made Vulkan blush.

But Fulkang didn't care about that much, and ran to the front of the carriage a few steps, and said to Qianlong and the others: "Master, Miss, Little Swallow, Ziwei, are you all right?" He only looked at Xia Ziwei alone.

What can Qianlong and the others do in the carriage?The question Vulkan asked was really superfluous, He Chunxin thought, this is not the way of flattery, is it?

It must be difficult for everyone sitting in the carriage to get it out of the pit, and maybe something dangerous will happen, so Qianlong and others got out of the carriage. He picked up Little Swallow with an umbrella, Fu Erkang picked up Xia Ziwei with an umbrella, and Fukang'an picked up He Chun with an umbrella.

Little Yanzi stood aside and saw a group of people waiting for a long time without pushing the carriage out of the pit, so she rolled up her sleeves and ran forward to join the army of carts. The fifth elder brother was worried and hurriedly followed. I don't know if it is Because of the joining of the two of them, they only pushed the carriage a few times and "climbed" out smoothly, but the little Yanzi "crashed" into the ditch, the fifth elder brother jumped down, and quickly pulled the little Yanzi up, she It has become a "clay figurine".

Qianlong frowned, looked at the pouring rain that showed no signs of stopping, knew it was not good, and continued on. There happened to be a small town not far away, and Qianlong got in the car lazily, and took everyone on foot to find a home The inn stopped there.

The heavy rain didn't stop until late in the evening, and He Chun played two games of chess with Qianlong. Little Yanzi came over with Xia Ziwei, and yelled at Qianlong that Xia Ziwei played chess well and asked her to play with the master, He Chunzheng Happy to be at leisure, he directly handed in shifts with Xia Ziwei, turned around and went out to get some air.
