Huanzhu's love life

The author has something to say:

Little Swallow and Ziwei played until dinner time before riding back.The two put down their horses, changed their clothes, and went to greet the queen.

On the way, I met Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong not only came to say hello, but also came to beg for food—Qianlong asked the young eunuch to pass the decree, and concubine Rong wanted to accompany him and the queen to have dinner together.

When Qianlong arrived in Chengde Li Palace, the rules and etiquette restrictions were relatively less, and the number of times he invited concubines to eat together was much more than in the Forbidden City.

All three rushed to nothing.It turned out that the queen went to Songhezhai, where the queen mother lived, and had not yet returned.

Little Swallow didn't dare go to the Queen Mother casually because she was fine.Qianlong knew her difficulties, and thought that he also suffered from the Empress Dowager's face for a few days because of the little swallow.

Little Swallow looked up at the sky, then said to Ziwei: "Let's go back first, don't delay people's dinner. Why don't you come back tomorrow morning." Ziwei naturally nodded in agreement.

Concubine Rong said, "You obviously have a watch in your pocket, why do you still look at the sky to tell the time?"

With a smiling face, Little Swallow took out her pocket watch and opened the cover.

Also asked Rong Pin and Zi Wei to also take out their watches, and the three of them got together to check the time with each other, yo, they all laughed.

No hour is the same.

Concubine Rong's watch was the fastest, followed by Ziwei's, and Xiao Yanzi's was the slowest.The difference was nearly a quarter of an hour.

Little Swallow smirked again: "It's only a quarter of an hour, not much. This kind of western mechanical watch has the problem of being fast and slow. How can the hourglass invented by our ancestors be reliable? For thousands of years, it has never been missed. Once. Hey, I heard people say that it was also our Qianlong dynasty, but more than 20 years ago, there was a bachelor and minister of military affairs, and he was a first-class public. His watch..."

Both Ziwei and Concubine Rong listened attentively to her gossip, when a Mongolian warrior came up, bowed his hands to salute the three of them, and said a few syllables as hard as stone, "Hello."

He said again, "Excuse me."

Later, he stood there and chattered for a long time, Little Swallow, Ziwei and Concubine Rong looked at each other, he spoke Chinese, right?It's Chinese, but unfortunately I can't understand it.The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are not like human speech.Little Yanzi could not wait to find someone to give him a pen and paper, and let him write it down.

I also saw the Mongolian warrior sweating anxiously stretching his arms and pointing at random. It seemed that he was lost.

Little Yanzi scratched her head, and gestured with her hands, there was nothing she could do to help.

The girls and nuns around didn't understand either, they all looked bitter.

Little Yanzi suddenly remembered that Ziwei could speak Mongolian.She turned to look at Ziwei, squinting her eyes and smiling.

Ziwei understood what Little Yanzi meant.There are so many nuns testifying in front of me, and there is another concubine and Gege, she helps others, and no one can gossip.

Ziwei went up and asked the man where he wanted to go in Mongolian, and seeing that the man still wanted to answer in Chinese, she said something in Mongolian, and the man replied in Mongolian.

Little Yanzi and Concubine Rong were at a loss when they heard it, but in the end, Ziwei spoke Chinese, and the person spoke Mongolian. They asked and answered easily, and the people around them were overwhelmed.

After a while, the man saluted again, and then left.

After the man walked away, Xiaoyanzi and Concubine Rong asked Ziwei who it was.Ziwei said it was from the Harqin tribe, and got lost after coming down from the paddock.He said that he had never been to Chengde Palace before.

Little Yanzi just listened to it and was about to leave with Ziwei, when she saw Concubine Rong standing there thoughtfully before leaving, Little Yanzi suddenly remembered that the person looked very familiar just now, could it be her and Concubine Rong The one you met?

If so, that's odd.That person has even been to the capital, but he has never been to Chengde Palace, which is the closest to Mongolia?

Little Yanzi just thought of this, and was dragged away by Ziwei to leave.

Qianlong and the queen were still sitting with the queen mother.

Because the group of little Mongolian warriors mentioned just now have grown into men who are indomitable in the sky, the queen mother said: "Today, there are only a few of us, and there are no outsiders. The Ai family is planning that the marriage with Princess An cannot be delayed any longer. Princess of the royal family, how can she not marry at this age? It makes it even more unreal to outsiders."

Qianlong said: "The emperor's wife taught me that."

The queen mother smiled and said: "The Ai family has never taught you a lesson. The Ai family understands the emperor's intentions, and Princess An is the apple of your eye that you lost and regained. It is human nature not to be willing to leave home if you haven't kissed her enough."

Sighing a little, he said again: "The Ai family sees that Princess An is also sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. The most rare thing is that her whole body is not inferior to the Royal Princess. Since the fifth child is still there, she personally recognizes her. The daughter who came here is currently being raised under the name of the queen, so even if she is married to a Mongolian prince, it is very suitable, not inferior to Da Gege and Princess Wan of the old five family."

Qianlong understood that the Empress Dowager's words were admiration for Ziwei who was born in the folk.Then he asked: "Which one do you think is better for your grandson-in-law? The Lavandorji you mentioned just now, how about it?"

The queen mother asked Lavandorji's age, and said with a smile: "It's good for age. It's one year older than Princess He'an."

The queen mother remembered something again, smiled and said to Qianlong and the queen: "Do you still remember that when Princess Jia married Fulongan, the emperor personally officiated the marriage in the palace. When the two got married, they were still young. The princess is one year older than her son-in-law, but the second child of Fu Laoliu's family, who hadn't grown up that day, was a head shorter than the princess from a distance. It's so interesting that the two little people are married. "

The queen also laughed and said: "Fu Long'an is doing well now, not to mention his size, but he is also very stable. The ministers and concubines don't know about the affairs of the outer court, but Fu Long'an is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is really neat and tidy. It is rare for him to He is so young. I heard that he is a good painter.”

Qianlong also jokingly said: "Things in the outer dynasty are also very good. Back then, Fu Heng was good at military affairs and literary affairs. All the documents that passed through his hands were smooth and concise, and he couldn't find a single mistake. Fu Heng Long An is very similar to him in this aspect. In the past two years, the Minister of Military Aircraft has done well. The grandson-in-law of Lafayette is not wrong."

The queen mother said: "Fu Heng's Mandarin and Mongolian are much more fluent than his Chinese."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, "Lafayette is so funny."

Seeing Qianlong sitting silently, the Empress Dowager felt amused in her heart, and just happened to let the Empress say what she said, so she also became amused.

Qianlong and the queen bid farewell and returned to the queen's residence together.Concubine Rong was waiting there.

After dinner, Qianlong felt embarrassed and left with Concubine Rong, so he told Concubine Rong to leave first, and sat down for a while, chatting with the Queen.

The queen didn't talk too much, after sending everyone away, she said to Qianlong: "It's not right to choose Lavandorji as Princess He'an's consort."
