Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

"Antique cultural relic destruction enthusiast" Hongli was holding a seal bigger than his fist, looking up and down at the fragments of the spring picture of Fuju Mountain on the table, thinking for a while, and finally found the place he liked--"click" , the bright red and dazzling ink pad is located in the center of the scroll like the rising sun, which is extremely eye-catching.

Unknowingly destroying the overall simple and elegant artistic conception of the picture, Qianlong put down the "murder weapon" in his hand and smiled contentedly.

The eunuch Wu Shulai, the leader next to him, immediately offered a warm wet handkerchief.Qianlong was wiping the ink pad on his hands when Li Yu, the chief eunuch, walked in and softly notified Prince Zhuang to see him.

Hearing that Uncle Sixteen asked to see him, Qianlong immediately let out a deafening laugh, "Quick, please come in Uncle Sixteen."

When Prince Zhuang entered the palace, he couldn't help looking up at the beams of the roof. He didn't see the dust being shaken down, so he went in to salute Qianlong with confidence.

"Uncle Sixteen, you don't need to be too polite!" Qianlong quickly walked over to help Prince Zhuang up, and he dragged Prince Zhuang to the table, "Uncle Sixteen came just in time, look at this spring picture of Fuju Mountain ~ how does it look?" Like a child who just got candy and couldn't wait to show it off to his friends.

Prince Zhuang only took one look, and was stimulated by the fist-sized bright red mark to make his heart beat faster and his blood rushed to his brain, Hongli, you prodigal son!

Prince Zhuang almost burst out!Fortunately, Qianlong's devilish laughter reminded him that Hongli is the emperor and he is a courtier.Hongli is not a kind and generous person who likes to listen to advice.

Prince Zhuang couldn't bear to look at the famous painting handed down from generation to generation, he quickly took a step back, bowed to Qianlong with his hands clasped in fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Seeing Prince Zhuang's seriousness, Qianlong was very surprised and said, "Oh? What's the matter with Uncle Sixteen, just tell me!"

Prince Zhuang looked troubled, and looked around: Are you sure you really want to reveal your love affair in public?

The frequencies of the frequency bands are different. Qianlong did not receive Prince Zhuang's brainwaves. He laughed loudly, "If Uncle Sixteen has something to do, it's okay to talk about it!"

Prince Zhuang had no choice but to wave his hand, and the little eunuch behind him immediately presented the scroll and spread it out on the table. Prince Zhuang paid close attention to Qianlong's expression, "Does your majesty remember this painting?"

Qianlong only glanced at it, then laughed and said, "Could it be that Uncle Sixteen is confused? This is my handwriting, how can he not remember?"

I don't believe you can still laugh later!Prince Zhuang's ears had been tortured by Qianlong's devilish laughter, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he continued to ask, "Does your majesty still remember who gave this painting to?"

Seeing that there was something in Prince Zhuang's words, Qianlong put a smile on his face, stared at the painting carefully, and fell into deep thought...

"Uncle Sixteen," Qianlong said, as if waking up from a dream, with nostalgia, entanglement, doubt, uncertainty, surprise and excitement flashing across his face, "Where did you get this painting?"

Prince Zhuang said calmly, "What did the emperor think of?"

"Uncle Sixteen, don't be a fool!" Qianlong said anxiously, "Did the owner of the painting come to your house?"

Seeing that Qianlong was a little unhappy, Prince Zhuang didn't dare to shirk, and quickly told about Xia Ziwei's affairs in detail, and at the end he added, "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not delay, so the truth of the matter has not yet been found out. False, I will report this matter to the emperor immediately, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Once Qianlong heard that his daughter (he automatically ignored the word "suspected" by Prince Zhuang) was left behind among the people, how could he sit still? "Wu Shulai, change clothes!"

Seeing Qianlong's burning appearance, Prince Zhuang quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

"What are you going to do? Uncle Sixteen, I will go back home with you as soon as I change into my casual clothes!" Qianlong's paternal love was like a sudden eruption of a volcano, pouring out continuously, wishing to fly to Ziwei immediately, and pour his father's love into his heart. Love pours out.He even changed his clothes in a hurry.

As the emperor, he ran to the palace just for such a trivial matter, and when Hongli came back to his senses, wouldn't he scold him to death?Prince Zhuang shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty—no!"

"Uncle Sixteen!" Qianlong roared with a grumpy face, his two thick eyebrows twisted, "This is my daughter! A daughter who has been left behind by the people for 18 years! Do you want to stop me from being with you?" Ziwei recognizes each other?"

Prince Zhuang was buckled by Qianlong's big hat, sweating profusely: Fourth Brother~ Why did you choose a stick to be the heir!What exactly do you see in Hongli?

Prince Zhuang didn't care to wipe off his cold sweat, and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to prevent your father and daughter from recognizing each other, but the royal blood, so there is no room for error! Before the matter is investigated clearly, you must not rashly recognize it."

In Qianlong's mind at this time, there was only one vague picture: a young woman with a blurred face holding a paper umbrella, looking at him with affection in her eyes, and softly calling Emperor~Emperor~Look at that Ruoliu Fufeng's slender figure is obviously a beauty.

The beautiful memories processed by time surged out from the depths of Qianlong's soul, which reminded him of his wanton youth in high spirits.

Prince Zhuang's words were clearly a denial of his past.

Qianlong was very dissatisfied, "Yuhe is not such a person! She must really love me! Otherwise, why did she wait for me for 18 years? I believe her!"

Prince Zhuang groaned inwardly. As the president of the Jade Document Hall, if he let Ziwei recognize her ancestors and put her name on the royal Jade Document just because of a few casual words, let alone the Holy Grandpa would not agree, I'm afraid that the cold-faced and taciturn fourth brother will crawl out of the coffin in anger and scold him to death!

"Your Majesty, if you confuse the royal bloodlines, I'm afraid that the holy ancestors will not agree, and the ancestors of the Aixinjueluo family will not agree." Prince Zhuang knelt down and kowtowed, "True gold is not afraid of fire. In the house, Fujin has settled her properly, and when the truth comes out, it won't be too late for you to see her again!"

Prince Zhuang mentioned Kangxi's name, even though Qianlong was wandering around the hall in a hurry, he had to suppress his desire to see Ziwei immediately.Qianlong thought about it, and was really upset, "Uncle Sixteen, who do you think will handle this matter?"

Prince Zhuang pondered, in case Ziwei is a Xibei product, it would be better not to get involved. "The matter is of great importance. It is not appropriate to leak the news. We must be cautious. I am sorry that I am incompetent. I did not think of a suitable candidate for a while."

Qianlong didn't want to procrastinate, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Chen Jinzhong—" If you want to do things quickly and well, you have to stick to the person at the pole.

A eunuch with an ordinary face appeared out of nowhere, saluted and kowtowed to Qianlong. Qianlong threw him a token, "Chen Jinzhong, take someone to Jinan as soon as possible to find out about Xia Ziwei without delay."

Chen Jinzhong replied cleanly, "Yes!" He stood up and prepared to leave——

"Wait—" Qianlong called him, thought for a while, and then ordered, "Take more good hands, don't let the wind leak."

"Uncle Sixteen, you go back first and help me take good care of Ziwei, this child has been left behind in the folk for 18 years, what a pain!"

Prince Zhuang immediately reassured him, and then he rolled his eyes and backed away.After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Prince Zhuang wiped the cold sweat off his back, let out a long sigh, and finally got rid of the matter.

Seeing that Prince Zhuang had left, Qianlong looked around at the maids and eunuchs in the palace, and said in a gloomy manner, "Whoever dares to reveal what happened today, I will never forgive him lightly!"

A group of court ladies and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed.

Qianlong was impatient, and after only a few days, he became impatient with waiting, his face was often clouded, and he would get angry at every turn, which frightened the palace ladies and eunuchs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, wishing they could turn into cats and walk on tiptoe.

Even his beloved concubine Ling was in no mood to hug her.

A few days later, there was still no news from Chen Jinzhong.

Qianlong couldn't sit still any longer.

Wearing casual clothes, he brought Wu Shulai and quietly went to Prince Zhuang's mansion.

When everyone arrived at the door, Prince Zhuang didn't dare to push Qianlong back, so he could only welcome him in with a smile.

The paper fan in Qianlong's hand was rattling, "Uncle Sixteen, I heard that the lotus planted in your mansion grows very well, please take me to have a look."

Prince Zhuang couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't see that Hongli was still an infatuated species!How could he come up with such a lousy excuse!It's only the end of April, and the lotus buds have just emerged!After entering the door, I didn't even want to drink tea, so I couldn't wait to see the 'Lotus'!

If you continue to stop it, maybe Hongli will hate you for wearing small shoes!Prince Zhuang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the lotus in the Yuhu Pavilion in the mansion blooms the best, but right now there are delicate guests living there, so it's hard to see outsiders..." Seeing Qianlong's face completely darken, Prince Zhuang immediately added a sentence , "For the sake of the girl's reputation, I have to wrong the emperor and watch the lotus quietly."

Qianlong immediately let out a deafening laugh, "No grievance! No grievance!"

Prince Zhuang couldn't help but looked up at the sky, and sadly found that the cleaning of the roof of his house was not as clean as that kid Hongli's Hall of Mental Cultivation!Fine dust drifts down from the roof...

Ah!

Prince Zhuang couldn't help but sneezed.

Qianlong, who ran out with big strides, was already yelling outside the door, "Uncle Sixteen, let's go!"

Fourth brother~ Hongli is so lively at this age, is it true that you are also like this in private?Prince Zhuang couldn't help feeling resentful.

Guo Luoluo got the instruction of Prince Zhuang, and took Ziwei to sit in the pavilion by the lake with the reason that "Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon" and sat together in the pavilion by the lake. She was very moved by her kindness, and she also sat by the lake watching, uh, the lotus leaves.

There are tall willow trees planted by the lake, with long willow branches hanging down to the ground. The willow leaves grow wildly and fluffy, and the canopy is like an umbrella. From a distance, the gaps between the leaves are denser than straw stacks.

At this time, Prince Zhuang was accompanying Qianlong helplessly, peeping in the willow leaves.One is the prince, and the other is the emperor. It is dishonest to do such a degrading thing.Prince Zhuang resented: Fourth brother~ Were you also so naughty when you were young?

Qianlong couldn't care about Prince Zhuang's face now, he was just looking at Ziwei infatuatedly, with Ziwei's delicate appearance, gradually enriching the image of Xia Yuhe in his memory.There is actually a woman who has been in love with him for 18 years, how can he not be vain?Not moved?Not guilty?

He was so excited that he pulled the willow branch tightly, and the willow tree made a rattling sound, and his father's love burst forth from his heart. He wished he could jump to the other side of the lake and bring his long-lost good daughter back to the palace.

"Uncle Sixteen, look, Ziwei looks exactly like her mother!"

I have never seen Xia Yuhe again!Prince Zhuang tugged at the willow leaves in boredom, without answering.

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, Ziwei is my daughter!" Qianlong was so excited that the whole willow tree trembled, the sound was so loud that even Ziwei and Guo Luoluo on the other side of the lake looked over in surprise.Guo Luoluo smiled dryly, "It is estimated that there are birds making nests in the trees."

Ziwei said unknowingly, "It's so loud, it must be a big bird!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Prince Zhuang quickly persuaded, "Wait a few more days, anyway, I have waited for so many days, and it will not be too late."

……

Ziwei and Guo Luoluo blew the wind by the lake for nearly an hour, Guo Luoluo said his mouth was dry, he had nothing to talk about, so he left.

Qianlong smacked his lips, feeling unfinished, reluctant to part.It's just that Prince Zhuang, who is over 60 years old, hides in willow branches and leaves for so long, his whole body is itchy.He was so annoyed that he couldn't help scolding Niu Gulu in secret, look at your wonderful son!

In the name of preparing for the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qianlong took the opportunity to reward Prince Zhuang's mansion with a lot of things.Guo Luoluo looked worried at the many more rewards than in the past: all kinds of brightly colored high-quality fabrics, jewelry and novelties that girls like... As for making it so obvious?How can someone use this for Ziwei?

Qianlong didn't care about these things, and within a few days, he took the opportunity to visit Prince Zhuang's Mansion again.

The emperor visited Prince Zhuang's mansion frequently, and the reputation of the beautiful scenery of Prince Zhuang's mansion disappeared. Prince Zhuang angrily dismissed the royal family members who came to join in the fun, and looked forward to Chen Jinzhong's return as soon as possible than anyone else!

Looking forward, looking forward, four days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Jinzhong finally came back!

He went there empty-handed, and returned with a full load: he brought back the mother-in-law who helped Xia Yuhe deliver the baby, the doctor who helped Xia Yuhe see a doctor, Xia's family servants, Xia Yuhe's relatives... It proved that Xia Ziwei was indeed Qianlong's legacy.

Qianlong waited for the exact news, and the stone he held high in his heart finally fell to the ground.He stood up abruptly, knocked over the decorations on the table without realizing it, "Hurry up, get ready, go to Prince Zhuang's mansion and bring Ziwei back!"
