Prince in the same boat

In the early morning, Yuanmingyuan Jiuzhou Qingyan, where the emperor works.

He Prince Hong Zhou originally wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was caught by the emperor who sincerely wanted to drag him into the water, and stood in the audience with a mournful face, unwillingly getting involved in this matter.

In front of Qianlong's imperial platform, there is a scroll and a folding fan. When you unfold it, it is the picture of lotus and misty rain after the rain, and the pen, ink and seal are all written by him.

There is also a stack of paper, which is full of dense handwriting. I have to admire the methods of the palace guards. In just one night, they checked the situation of the Xia brothers and sisters in the capital for more than a year.

Although the people sent to Jinan overnight have not yet returned, but in Qianlong's heart, he has already believed [-]%!

And now, in front of Qianlong, there is still a beautiful girl in plain clothes kneeling.

Her bright eyes are like water, and her brows are graceful. Although she is not as handsome as the incarnation of heaven and man like Yong Fan, her clear and soft appearance is more like the woman in her memory who once held a lotus and smiled at him.

That's right, yes, looking at Xia Ziwei in front of her, she has a soft and beautiful face that is [-]% similar to Xia Yuhe's, but her brows are full of a three-pointed nobleness that Xia Yuhe doesn't have.

When Qianlong saw Ziwei for the first time, he was far more shocked than when he saw Xia Yongfan, and it made her feel deja vu!

In other words, unlike Yongfan, Qianlong was able to faintly conjure up a vague shadow of Xia Yuhe from his mind after receiving his reminder, but seeing Xia Ziwei and Xia Yuhe's appearance with [-] imaginable appearances, then Only then did the woman who had been forgotten in his mind emerge completely and clearly.

That woman, who was once so beautiful and gentle, looked at her with the same respectful eyes as Ziwei.

That woman who was once let down by him has been on the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan for 16 years!

How did she spend these 16 years, did she ever think about it day and night, did she ever have sleepless nights, did she ever complain, did she ever hate...

Qianlong felt that his heart, which had been silent for many years, began to overflow in a strange mood mixed with guilt, vanity and so on.

He seems to have returned to the years when he was a young man in his prime more than ten years ago, and he has not been moved by this kind of affection for a long time!

All the women in the harem said they were in favor of the emperor, but Qianlong knew more or less in his heart that they were more or less for the prosperity of the family, their own glory and wealth, and the status of their children...but Like Xia Yuhe who just loves him purely, and even ignores the world's eyes and scolding for him, resolutely gives birth to a child, raises it up, and finally dies young, without even a title in the end.

Such a pure and blazing emotion, I am afraid that it is impossible to have a second one in my life!

Qianlong, who was already a little bit guilty, instantly magnified his guilt by [-]% when he saw Xia Ziwei who was very similar to Xia Yuhe!

"National girl Xia Ziwei kowtows to the emperor." Now Xia Ziwei is not the little girl in the original book who can only cry and cry when she sees Qianlong for the first time, and even her thoughts stop when she sees Qianlong for the first time.

Although the sensibility in his nature could not be pulled out that day, and he still looked like tears filled his eyes, but he didn't give people the slightest feeling of being petty, instead he appeared generous and noble.

This pair of brothers and sisters is not easy!Prince He has such a sophisticated eye, and he doesn't have the potential of brain twitching like Qianlong, because his eyes flashed, and he really watched the play quietly.

Although he has always been trusted by Qianlong, and now Qianlong has nothing to hide about this matter, but seems to be ordering him to do something, but he still knows when to speak and when not to speak. .

"Get up. You are Xia Ziwei, are you... like Yongfan, the child of Zhen and Yuhe?"

Damn it!Can anyone tell me what the situation is?Could it be that the emperor already knew about his mother?How about brother?

Thinking of what Yong Fan once told her, the matter of recognizing relatives is no small matter, it is not just a simple recognition, after all, the royal family.There is no need to think about the prince and princess, what is more likely to be assassination and house arrest!

Xia Ziwei was in a state of confusion, she had rushed over Yongfan's situation with great concern just now, but Qianlong's eyes were fixed, as if he was worried about something, he just said that Yongfan was resting now, so she didn't need to worry.

Xia Ziwei... It's time to test you!

Brother...how can you be so ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable!

How can you throw such a difficult problem of recognizing your father to a helpless and weak woman like me!Brother, how cruel are you!

Xia Ziwei's psychological quality is still very good. After mourning a lot in her heart, she quickly entered the state.

Phew... He secretly took a deep breath, and when he slowly raised his head, he had already changed into a face full of excitement and tears.

Respect, longing, fear... and many other expressions flashed in the beautiful water eyes.

The look in this child's eyes is like that of Yong Fan who has blocked the knife for me and fell into my arms!Qianlong was a person with extremely rich emotions, and he understood in an instant that the emotions revealed in this pair of beautiful eyes were so sincere and profound!

"Your Majesty forgive me, the girl of your question knows the answer, but she doesn't know how to answer..." Ziwei said softly.

"Why?" Qianlong couldn't help being stunned.Could it be that Yuhe only told Yongfan the whole story, but kept Ziwei from it?No... No, Ziwei said 'I don't know how to answer' but, 'I know the answer'.

"How does the emperor want the girl to answer? To ask the emperor, 'Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake 16 years ago?' Or, 'Pampas grass is as tough as silk, is the rock immutable?'" Ziwei sighed. , asked faintly.

Qianlong was shocked, as if the beautiful woman who smiled at him with a lotus on the bank of Daming Lake appeared in front of him again, those youthful and frivolous past events, those passionate lingering emotions that have never been seen for many years...

Qianlong recalled this scene, and his face was unconsciously moved.

"'After the rain, the lotus flowers bear grace and dew, the city is full of spring scenery reflecting the morning sun, the scenery on Daming Lake is beautiful, and Taiyue Peak is high and holy and long." Xia Ziwei read this poem faintly, but secretly slandered her in her heart. At best, it can only be regarded as doggerel. It's really hard for a talented woman of my mother's generation to collect it like a treasure all day long.But there was still a look of great admiration on his face: "Perhaps what the emperor wants to know... is this."

"Yuhe...does she often read to you the poems I left behind?" Qianlong's face was full of nostalgia and sadness.

It is indeed a constant recitation, and it is a sad spring and autumn recitation all day long. My ears can hear cocoons when I read it. I don’t know how many times my brother almost ran away when he heard it. A ball of cotton is always ready to quietly plug the ears.

"Minnv has often heard her mother recite this poem since she was a child, and asked her curiously who made this poem, but every time she just sighed faintly, and then kept crying, Gradually, Minnv didn't dare to ask any more..." Ziwei said sadly, "It wasn't until my mother passed away that... I told all the ins and outs to the Minnv brothers and sisters. , Minnv and elder brother know now... then know..."

Qianlong was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, you... how have you been all these years? How did you make it all the way to Beijing? Yuhe... she can leave with peace of mind Is it?"

Qianlong didn't ask too many things, maybe in his eyes, Ziwei was far less important than Yongfan, and in his view, Ziwei was just a girl who was raised in a boudoir and didn't know much, so rather than ask She, it's better to wait until Yongfan wakes up.Besides, the people who went to Jinan haven't come back yet, so it's not easy to ask too many questions.

"Yes." Ziwei secretly rejoiced in her heart, finally Qianlong didn't ask too many questions, and she was afraid of making too many mistakes, Qianlong didn't ask too deeply, so it couldn't be better.

At the moment, Ziwei organized her language a little bit, and said some things in an orderly manner. She knew that she was no better than Yongfan in deceiving people, so she didn't dare to say more, and avoided some topics skillfully. It directly tells about Xia Yuhe's life and the growth history of his brothers and sisters, focusing on the emotional person, who is completely a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, which frightened Qianlong for a moment.

What a well-behaved daughter, although not as outstanding as Yongfan, but is it a daughter's family? Although the momentum is a bit small, it also has a different temperament, not bad... not bad.Qianlong nodded secretly.

If Yongfan was here at this time, she would be pleased to award Ziwei a big medal and write: Queen of the Movies!

Finally, Ziwei concluded: "Ziwei doesn't know, did my brother say a few words to the emperor, it was my mother who entrusted us to bring it to the emperor, and my mother said when she was dying, 'I have waited for a lifetime, hated it for a lifetime, and thought about it for a lifetime , I have complained all my life... But I am still grateful to God for letting him have this person who can wait, hate, think, and complain! Otherwise, life will be like a dry well... lifeless! '" After speaking, Ziwei's eyes dimmed, as if falling into endless sorrow.

After Ziwei finished speaking, Qianlong was shocked. Those distant past events, that period of youth and frivolity, he had put away in his mind, but there was a woman who kept this relationship in his heart forever.

Aixinjueluo-Hongli, how lucky you are to have such a woman who loves you so much.But...you have failed her deeply after all!

Qianlong stared intently at Ziwei, who was [-]% similar to Xia Yuhe, and recalled the way Yongfan collapsed in his arms last night, so satisfied, so sad... This is indeed his son.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how is my brother? Is there anything wrong with him? Can I... can I see him?" Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Ziwei remained silent, with a look on his face. His expression was unpredictable, but He Prince looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he was a little panicked, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm..." Looking at Ziwei's appearance as a delicate girl, Qianlong didn't dare to tell her about Yongfan's injury. She needn't worry.

"I've been seen by the imperial doctor, but I suffered a slight injury. Rest for a few days, and it will recover naturally." Qianlong said.

Capture the assassin?Ziwei had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak up, but judging by the emperor's appearance, it seemed that there was nothing else going on.

"You can't make arrangements right now, so let's go to the side hall to rest first. When Yongfan wakes up, he will bring him to see you." Qianlong said: "It's just...um , your current status is a bit inconvenient, so don't wander around, I will arrange it myself."

Ziwei withdrew.
