Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When the noodle shop opened, Qianlong was inspired to compose a poem.

The little boy didn't know yet that this calligraphy and painting would become his heirloom.

Many years later, the boy became a wealthy local businessman and was extremely grateful to himself for his pragmatic attitude and Hexi for helping him.

Later, he learned that the people in the group were Qianlong and Hexi and others. The boy also worshipped Hexi's Changshenglu at home.

Of course, that is a story for later. Now the boy is just an episode in their journey.

***

He Xi found that Qing'er had been absent-minded recently and often stole glances at Hailancha.

He Xi: Don’t think I didn’t notice! I’m very smart!

But Hailancha was like a piece of wood, indifferent.

At night in the room, He Xi asked carefully.

"Did you notice it too?"

"Yes, but the Emperor probably didn't notice."

Qing'er looked worried.

"What's wrong? Sister Qing."

"My marriage has never been decided by anyone. The old Buddha and the emperor have their own ideas."

Before she met Xiao Jian who went crazy, Qing'er was a person who listened to the old Buddha very much.

It can be said that Qing'er and Lanxin both have a sense of crisis of being dependent on others, even when they meet Hexi.

I don’t know how Qing’er in the original novel had the courage to escape.

Maybe it's really the plot that's at work. Qing'er's father died for his country, but she married someone who once wanted to murder the emperor. It's ironic.

If Prince Yu’s spirit in heaven knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.

But now Qing'er seems to have developed a liking for Hailancha, who has a good family background.

I hope Xiao Jian can just be the carefree young man who travels the world with his sword and Xiao, and not harm Qing'er anymore.

"Sister Qing, what are you worried about?"

"I, I don't know..." Qing'er sat back on the bed, looking at the crabapple flowers outside the window, "Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part."

"How could that be! My Qing'er is gentle, generous and kind."

Qing'er chuckled. Hexi always had a kind of magic that could make people suddenly see the light.

"The old Buddha..."

"The old Buddha loves you the most, whatever you want is up to you." He Xi comforted her. She was not speaking nonsense, as everyone could see how much the old Buddha doted on her.

In this palace where people flatter the weak and look down on the powerful, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for the protection of the Empress Dowager, how could Qing'er, an orphan, live so comfortably.

The husband that Empress Dowager Cixi arranged for her was also the Fifth Prince, the emperor's favorite candidate.

It’s a pity that there were a few mistakes in the process.

In fact, as long as it is not too outrageous, the old lady will gladly accept it. Xiao Jian is simply out of line.

With Hexi's comfort, Qing'er felt much better.

Hexi was speechless at this stupid guy. There was actually someone even more stupid than Fukangan.

Hailancha: Haqiu, haqiu...

Because of what happened before, Qianlong was not as affectionate towards Ziwei as before.

Ziwei was confused. She didn't understand why Qianlong suddenly became so cold towards her.

The emotions between the boy and girl seemed to sprout during the journey.

On this day, they came to Ji County, where a flower pole climbing competition was being held. This is a major tradition in Ji County to celebrate the harvest.

As usual, there were many people watching the fun. There were a lot of rice hanging on the tall poles, and the contestants were eager to try.

This competition has always been funded by local philanthropists.

Xiaoyanzi pushed Yongqi, Erkang and others to participate in the competition.

The few people couldn't persuade Xiaoyanzi, so they went in reluctantly. Qianlong watched the show happily.

At a command, everyone climbed up the flower pole, pushing and shoving each other. Many people were defeated, and only a few nimble people were left.

Among them were Yongqi and his men. After all, their martial arts were enough to be used in this county.

No matter how bad it is, there are always some fancy things.

"Why aren't you going?" He Xi seemed to have never seen Fu Kang'an participate in such a glamorous competition.

"Wouldn't it be an unfair victory if I went there?" Fu Kang'an's face was full of confidence. Yes, he had won it on the battlefield.

He Xi looked at Fu Kang'an with an indescribable look, then looked at Yongqi and the others who were still fighting over the flower pole.

Well, it is true that there are still differences in the levels of martial arts.

The result was obvious, Erkang won the championship and received the reward of rice.

Erkang really enjoyed the admiring looks from everyone, and the rice was secondary.

Erkang then distributed the rice to the onlookers and received a lot of gratitude.

Erkang returned to the team contentedly.

He Xi: ...Forget it (＿＿)ノ

He Xi had another important matter on his mind that needed to be resolved urgently.

According to her impression, she had no memory of what happened during the incognito visit, but she remembered one thing.

The White Lotus Sect seemed to have carried out an assassination attempt, because of which Ziwei saved the emperor and obtained a golden medal of immunity from death.

But it happened so long ago that she couldn't remember when it happened.

So she has been living in fear these days.

But everything was safe and calm for several days.

Just when she thought she had avoided the assassination attempt, the accident happened as expected.

They arrived at Qijiang Town that day and happened to encounter the Fire Festival.

Local residents came out to celebrate, so the market was crowded with people.

How many are there? Probably if you follow them, you will be dispersed.

Hexi was alarmed when she saw this scene and wanted to stop Qianlong from joining in the fun.

"Ama, I think there are too many people. Why don't we not go?"

Xiaoyanzi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Coward! Master, let's go to the front and take a look!"

After saying that, he led everyone into the crowd.

He Xi stamped her feet in anger. What a jerk! He is always causing trouble but can't do anything for him!

"He Xi, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er was a little puzzled. He Xi didn't seem like the kind of person who would spoil the fun, so why was she so repulsive today?

He Xi also had no words to express her grievances, so she could only laugh it off.

Seeing that they were getting further and further away from Qianlong, Hexi had no time to think and took Fu Kang'an's arm.

"Fukangan, help me. I'm worried that my father is in danger. There are all kinds of people here."

Fukang'an immediately became nervous when he heard this. Looking at the growing crowd, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

These people came so unusually that it felt like they appeared out of the blue.

"Princess, please wait here. I will go find the emperor." Fu Kang'an was worried about He Xi.

"No, no, I want to go with you." He Xi was very determined. If she wanted to stay here and feel uncomfortable, it would be better for her to go with him.

"Okay, Princess, I'm sorry." Fu Kang'an has always been unable to resist He Xi's request. With a slightly red face, he held He Xi's hand. Only in this way could they not be easily separated.

He Xi took Fu Kang'an through the crowd, searching along the way based on his memory.

He Xi wanted to shout but it was too noisy and it was impossible. He Xi became more and more anxious.

This scene is too similar to the assassination.

Although according to the original novel, Qianlong will be able to escape danger, but nothing is absolute. She has a feeling that everything that is happening now is different from what she remembers.

So she didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble.
