When Qianlong heard Hongday's inquiry, he narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "If the two children in Xiao Guiren's womb are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, it would be the best, you can take a good omen of dragon and phoenix auspiciousness, however, Xiao Guiren's status is mediocre and his family background is not obvious, so there should be no such blessing." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's not bad to have two little Gege, you can give an extra grace, so that Xiao Guiren can keep them by his side, which is also in line with Xiao Guiren's current identity. And if the two children in Xiao Guiren's womb are really two little brothers, or Xiao Guiren's little brothers, then even if I love Xiao Guiren again, I can't break the rules in the palace. ”

Hongyang looked at the cold and solemn face of his fourth brother, his heart tightened, and he unconsciously worried about the two little nephews who had not yet been born, "What does the imperial brother mean...... Don't you really want to send away or execute one of the little brothers, right? ”

"Execution?" Qianlong was stunned for a moment, glaring at Hongyang like an idiot, "That's my biological son, don't you want me to □□ the first emperor of the Xinjueluo family to kill a son?" ”

Hongtian observed Qianlong's expression, relaxed slightly, touched his nose, and smiled, "It's the courtier's brother who misunderstands the emperor's intentions." So, how does the royal brother plan to deal with this matter? After all, the royal family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all stared at the emperor's decision, and they always had to give a reasonable explanation to the world. After all, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he must be unique, even his name needs to be avoided by the world, and there are rules and regulations for the clothes and accessories he wears, how can he have a sibling who has the same appearance as him? ”

Qianlong's eyes flashed slightly, smiled slightly, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Xiao Guiren's status is low, and unless the prince is talented and extraordinarily intelligent, I will never appoint such a prince as the prince." If the two little elder brothers are really very similar in appearance, then I will directly deprive them of their qualifications to be appointed as princes. In the future, at most, the two of them will be rewarded with the title of a prince or prince, so as to ensure that they can have no worries about food and clothing, and it will be enough to have a prosperous life. ”

Hongday's heart moved, and he always felt that there seemed to be some inconsistencies in what Qianlong Shicai said. Although Qianlong Shicai mentioned Xiao Guiren's humble background more than once, it seemed to be quite disgusting, but he took such care of the two unborn children in Xiao Guiren's womb. Even if Xiao Guiren really gave birth to two little brothers who looked exactly the same, Qianlong did not plan to execute or send away one of their children, but instead found a way out for them.

He Prince Hongday thought about his current title, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart: Look at how easy the fourth brother said just now, as if it was a trivial matter to reward a county king or prince with the title of two little brothers

。 However, has the fourth brother forgotten that some of the princes and brothers of the Qing emperors in the past dynasties were only bald brothers until they died of illness, and they didn't even have a title. The throne of the prince or prince is already a great favor and reward!

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong also had a suspicious and cautious personality. Although he has given Hongyang a lot of trust in this life, it is impossible for him to be a pair of good brothers who talk about everything with Hongyang. Therefore, Qianlong only used half-truths and half-truths to deal with Hongday's inquiry, but did not mention the importance he attached to the two sons in Xiao Yan's womb and his interest in Xiao Yan.

After all, what are the advantages and wonders of one's own woman, naturally it is for oneself to be full of appreciation and appreciation, how can such a secret private matter be revealed to others to know, so that others can evaluate their favorite concubines?

Since the harem concubines and concubines learned the news that Xiao Yan was pregnant, although they were all secretly jealous of Xiao Yan's good luck, they had some joy and expectation in their hearts.

According to the rules of the palace, pregnant concubines are not allowed to get close to the emperor and sleep for the emperor. So, since this Xiao Guiren, who has the best appearance in the harem, can't accompany him because he is pregnant, does it mean that they have another chance to get close to the emperor and compete for the emperor's favor?

As a result, the concubines and concubines of the East and West Six Palaces are all gearing up, secretly using a lot of beauty secrets, showing their strengths individually, and trying to attract Qianlong's attention.

Therefore, Qianlong soon found that the gifts he received from the harem concubines were increasing day by day, including purse fan covers with luxurious fabrics and exquisite embroidery, calligraphy and painting sketches with beautiful fonts and elegant artistic conception, and many fine soups made by the concubines themselves.

Qianlong was originally also a amorous, merciful and cherished emperor, if he had nothing to do, Qianlong was also happy to throw himself into the gentle countryside of all kinds of beautiful concubines and concubines to enjoy the tenderness and sweetness, but now Qianlong is full of enthusiasm to devote himself to national affairs, and he is so busy every day that his feet do not touch the ground, except for being able to spare a little time to visit the pregnant Xiao Yan and the two unborn little brothers in Xiao Yan's womb who he is full of expectations, there is no leisure to deal with other concubines.

Qianlong discussed with the Ministry of Officials Shangshu to revise the evaluation and supervision system for officials, continue to implement the system of maintaining honest silver, severely punish officials who are corrupt and accept bribes, and bend the law for personal gain, and even give heavy sentences to those who are serious, and implement the system of joint sitting, punishing their descendants for three generations not to participate in scientific examinations and not to be officials; Discussed with the household department the methods of improving agricultural tools and increasing grain production, and handed over the direction of the development of hybrid rice and nitrogen fertilizer to several capable officials of the household department, who first studied and tossed them, and gave some suggestions at the appropriate time; The Ministry of Industry was entrusted with the task of building water conservancy and reinforcing the embankment, and several honest and self-disciplined officials were dispatched to various places to supervise the progress of the project and the use of the money, in an effort to transfer funds exclusively in the hope of increasing the water storage and flood control capacity of the existing embankments as soon as possible, so as to avoid flooding due to abundant rain in the summer.

Although Qianlong has not yet sent a decree to the Ministry of War, he has made an extremely important change.

In order to strengthen his body, Qianlong used to have the habit of going to the practice room every afternoon to fight with the imperial guards and practice his skills, and sometimes he would go to the horse farm to ride horses and shoot arrows to enhance his physical strength. However, Qianlong recently had another hobby, that is, he had to practice marksmanship with the musket * gun paid by foreigners against the target every day, and he was also quite interested in personally dismantling a few muskets, drawing many sketches, and with the help of several capable ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, he finally developed a new type of musket gun that could fire continuously, which greatly improved the performance of the musket gun and increased the range and lethality.

As the saying goes, "If you give a good gift, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; If the righteousness is good, the people will not dare to disobey; If you have good faith, the people will not dare to be merciful." Qianlong's measures and methods have already borne fruit among the people, in addition to the gradual reduction of corrupt* officials, the most obvious change is that the clan ministers, the children of the Eight Banners, and even the wealthy businessmen and magnates have become interested in practicing muskets, and they are all proud to have the same preferences as the emperor.

As a result, when the foreigners who came to the Qing Dynasty to preach found that the muskets used by Qing officials and ordinary people for self-defense were much more advanced than those used by their own country, and even many of them were sharpshooters, they were deeply surprised and did not dare to underestimate the Qing Dynasty

Xiao Yan, who was in the deep palace, heard about Qianlong's recent measures, and became more and more sure that this Qianlong must be different from the Qianlong Emperor recorded in the history books, even if he was not crossed by others, at least he was very likely to be a reborn person.

Qianlong tossed like this, but he didn't turn over the cards for four months, and even when he was celebrating the New Year with Queen Fucha Ning Xiu, he didn't touch Ning Xiu, which made Ning Xiu annoyed, and he was even more resentful of Xiao Yan, who Qianlong had been very fond of recently, but because of Qianlong's prestige and means, he didn't dare to take action for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, it has come to the time when the spring flowers are blooming and the grass is growing and the warbler is flying. At this time, Xiao Yan was already more than six months pregnant, but because the twins were round and huge in the belly, she seemed to be like a woman who was about to give birth in □□ months of pregnancy.

Although Qiulan and Qiuyue are both excellent secret guards, they are also women who have not yet married, so the two of them will feel frightened every day when they watch Xiao Yan walking in the courtyard with a huge belly, and they can only follow Xiao Yan step by step, for fear that Xiao Yan will fall and break the two little brothers that their master has been waiting for for a long time.

When Qianlong reviewed the excerpts this morning, he was very angry with the excerpts requesting the sea ban one after another, and secretly scolded these ministers in his heart for being some short-sighted waste, completely forgetting that he had also very much agreed with the sea ban in his previous life.

Wu Shulai was in a unhappy mood when he saw Qianlong, and thought that Qianlong had no intention of eating, and was racking his brains to think about how to persuade Qianlong to eat, but he didn't expect Qianlong to take a look at the sumptuous dinner presented by the palace people, and he didn't know what interesting things he remembered, and he actually hooked the corners of his lips slightly.

Wu Shulai was secretly suspicious, so he listened to Qianlong's instructions: "I remember that Xiao Guiren has been unhappy with meat recently, especially this lotus leaf chicken and tangerine skin beef. Wu Shulai immediately sent these two dishes to the Chuxiu Palace and the Palace, and added dishes to Xiao Guiren. ”

Wu Shu came to see Qianlong's face, and he was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded his promise, and went on an errand with joy.

Xu thought of the beautiful woman he was interested in, Qianlong actually felt that he had a little appetite, and spent a lot of dinner under the service of the palace people, especially when he ate the two dishes of lotus leaf chicken and tangerine beef, he would unconsciously think of Xiao Yan's cute appearance with a puffed mouth and a satisfied face when eating these two dishes, and he would show a happy expression on his face, which attracted the hearts of the palace people who served around him.

After Qianlong's dinner, his mood has gradually calmed down. If you want to do things quickly, you can't reach it, and Qianlong still understands the principle that it should be done step by step and step by step. In addition, thinking about Xiao Yan and the two little brothers in his womb, Qianlong personally drove to Chuxiu Palace that night to visit Xiao Yan in the Body and Palace.

Because Xiao Yan didn't know that Qianlong would come to Chuxiu Palace to visit her, she didn't prepare to take over. At this time, Xiao Yan had just finished bathing under the service of Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue, and she was only wearing an aqua blue silk nightgown. Because the long hair was stained with water, it was not combed into a bun, but simply draped over the body after combing with a comb. The little jade-white face is fumigated by the heat of bathing, so it is dyed with an attractive flush, and it is as charming and lovely as a sweet and juicy peach.

When Qianlong walked into the dormitory of the Body and Palace, he happened to see this picture of a beautiful woman bathing.

Qianlong's sharp gaze slowly swept over Xiao Yan's ruddy face and plump breasts, his eyes darkened, and his body, which had not been relieved for nearly half a year, gradually warmed up, and the long-dormant desires in his body suddenly woke up, and the momentum surged.

Xiao Yan looked at the undisguised desire in Qianlong's eyes, subconsciously looked down at her waist that was now thicker than a bucket, and became more and more incomprehensible to Qianlong's preferences and tastes, but instinctively felt a trace of danger, not only forgot to salute Qianlong, but hurriedly fastened the buckle of the collar with her hand, shrunk back and retreated.
