Xiao Yan pursed her lips and looked at Qianlong, only to see that Qianlong was staring at her with interest, her bright phoenix eyes were full of fun, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she had a meaningful smile, which was not like an infatuated man looking at his beloved girl, but like a dangerous cheetah who had found the prey he was interested in, and was not in a hurry to dismantle the prey into his stomach, but teased the prey he liked by his own interest before officially starting the hunt.

Xiao Yan secretly scolded Qianlong for being bored, but her face showed a very natural look of confusion, and explained softly: "The concubine is naturally sincere, but the concubine is dull, and I really don't understand how the emperor wants the concubine to repay you." also asked the emperor to make it clear, lest the concubine misunderstand the emperor's intentions and make the emperor angry. ”

Qianlong smiled slightly, but he didn't go around in circles anymore, his slender fingers lightly tapped Xiao Yan's upturned nose, and said bluntly: "Yan'er's heart is exquisite and lovely, and I cherish it very much." Yan'er gives me your heart, okay? ”

Xiao Yan didn't think so, and secretly thought that if she really knew that Qianlong was a merry man with countless beauties in the harem, but she also handed over a sincere heart to Qianlong, then she would be really stupid!

However, no matter how slanderous she was in her heart, Xiao Yan had already instinctively made the most infallible reaction to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, only to see that her fair and pretty face was soon dyed with patches of red glow, and her white and tender little hands gently pulled Qianlong's sleeves, and explained softly: "The concubines are already the emperor's people, and their bodies and minds have naturally been owned by the emperor a long time ago." The concubine is in love with the emperor. Doesn't the emperor know? ”

Qianlong stared intently at the stunning beauty in front of him, only to see that her pair of crystal clear eyes were staring at herself shyly and timidly, exhaling like an orchid to pour out her admiration to herself, her eyes flashed, but she deliberately smiled meaningfully: "Yan'er really knows my intentions." Now that you have given your heart to me, you cannot go back on it. As long as your heart is on me for a day, I will protect your mother and son for a day, and I will not let you suffer grievances, okay? ”

Xiao Yan nodded again and again, "The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace, and on behalf of the fifth and sixth elder brothers, thank the emperor for his grace."

。 ”

Qianlong's eyes flashed slightly, with an ambiguous smile on his face, he stretched out his finger and lightly touched his thin lips, his sharp gaze slowly swept over Xiao Yan's scarred lips, and his low voice was a little hoarse, but it was particularly beautiful, "In this way, I have to take a good look at Yan'er's sincerity." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered if Qianlong's scum wanted her to take the initiative to kiss his lips? When did this big man with a strong desire for control actually like women to take the initiative?

Although Xiao Yan had some doubts in her heart, since she had even given birth to a child for Qianlong, she naturally wouldn't be entangled in these trivial matters now. Therefore, Xiao Yan only hesitated slightly, then slowly approached Qianlong with a shyness on her face, and imprinted a kiss on Qianlong's thin lips with a little water.

The delicate and sweet touch on his lips made Qianlong squint his eyes, and his powerful palm quickly clasped Xiao Yan's little head that wanted to retreat, and took the initiative to deepen Shicai's kiss that made him feel unfinished, but because of the scars on Xiao Yan's lips, he did not plunder as in the past, but kissed very lingeringly, and the gentle movements made people feel as if the woman he was holding in his arms was a treasure that he cherished in his heart.

After this toss, Qianlong really agreed to let Xiao Yan personally feed the two little elder brothers, but it was only during the day.

Xiao Yan once fought for the right to breastfeed the two children in person at night on the grounds of increasing * milk, but she didn't expect Qianlong to look at her bulging chest with interest, licked her thin lips with unfinished interest, and told her with a light smile that she didn't have to worry, and then regardless of Xiao Yan's struggle to resist, he forcibly occupied the right to use Xiao Yan's chest at night, which made Xiao Yan secretly slander Qianlong's bad taste, and occasionally some strange thoughts suddenly appeared. I feel that I am not feeding two sons, but three ......

The concubines and concubines in the palace originally thought that during the confinement of the concubine, even if Qianlong loved the beauty and young and delicate body of the concubine, it was impossible to get close to the concubine at this time, and thought that he finally had the opportunity to sleep for Qianlong, so he really took a lot of thought to plan, but he didn't expect Qianlong to ignore the rules in the palace, and every night he had to go to the Chuxiu palace where the concubine lived and the palace to accompany him, almost letting the vinegar flood the six palaces in the east and west.

Although the lowly nobles Chen Menglei, Liu Rongjia and others were jealous in their hearts, they didn't dare to find the trouble of the concubines who had just given birth to the fifth and sixth elder brothers for the emperor and were now spoiled in the harem.

However, to the disappointment of the concubines and concubines, for some reason, the Queen Mother Niu Hulu and the Queen Fucha unanimously took a blind and blind attitude to this matter, and the two not only did not have a word of criticism for the concubines, but even when the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother washed the third, they kept praising the good looks of the two little elder brothers, praising the concubine Xiao Yan for being a blessed person, and giving many valuable gifts to the two little elder brothers.

I still remember that at that time, Queen Fucha Ningxiu once held the fifth elder brother in her arms and was unwilling to let go, and praised the fifth elder brother Yongqi for her appearance and father Xiao, who must be a blessed child. He also said that Yongqi's appearance was six or seven points similar to the late Prince Duanhui, and he felt that he had a fate with this little brother when he saw Yongqi for the first time, so he wanted to raise Yongqi by his side personally, and promised to do his best to take care of Yongqi.

Qianlong looked at the scene in front of him that was very similar to his previous life, but did not agree to Ning Xiu's request.

In the previous life, in February of the sixth year of Qianlong, after the Haigui Keriette Zhilan gave birth to the fifth elder brother for Qianlong, the queen Fucha Ningxiu also expressed to Qianlong her wish to keep the fifth elder brother by her side to raise her. At that time, Qianlong had a good impression of Ning Xiu and regarded her as a virtuous queen, so he naturally would not refuse Ning Xiu's request, and Jin Feng Zhilan was Yu Concubine as compensation.

At that time, Ning Xiu did take good care of Yongqi, even if Ning Xiu was pregnant again in the eleventh year of Qianlong and gave birth to the seventh elder brother Yongcong, she still regarded Yongqi as her own. Because of this, Yongqi was not close to his biological concubine Yu when he became an adult, and he was only full of admiration for the deceased Empress Xiaoxian

Qianlong, who was reborn in the first life, naturally saw the secret calculation in Ning Xiu's heart clearly, although Qianlong specially gave the name Yongqi to this fifth elder brother who looked very similar to himself, and he did miss the fifth elder brother Yongqi of Prince Rongchun, who was both civil and military in his previous life, talented but died young, but he did not want to put his favorite son in the hands of this virtuous on the outside and cunning on the inside.

Therefore, Qianlong did not mention his promise to Xiao Yan, and only rejected Ning Xiu's request in public on the grounds that the fifth elder brother was still young and should not leave his biological mother.

Seeing this situation, the other concubines and concubines all had a deeper understanding of the degree of favor of the concubine Xiao Yan. Even the Wan Guiren and Liu Guiren, who were extremely dissatisfied with the concubine, decided to avoid their edge for the time being, and did not dare to provoke the concubine at this time, so as not to cause trouble and trouble to themselves, only when the noble concubine saw that Qianlong rejected the request of the queen Fucha clan to keep the fifth elder brother by her side in public, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and a sarcastic and disdainful smile line flashed on her face very quickly, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart, she must find a way to get the fifth elder brother to be raised by her side, so as to give the queen Fucha a resounding slap in the face.

However, at this time, Xiao Yan, who was envied and jealous by the concubines of the harem, was not as happy and nourishing as everyone thought. Because it was the height of summer, Xiao Yan was already about to be tortured and crazy by the rules of confinement for concubines in the palace.

Due to her work, Xiao Yan can almost be said to have a habit of cleanliness, but now she has not washed her hair or bathed for more than a month after giving birth, which has seriously impacted Xiao Yan's bottom line of her hygiene habits.

So, Xiao Yan used both soft and hard all day long, fighting wits and courage with Qiulan and Qiuyue, hoping to fight for the right to wash her hair in the right place, however, Qiulan and Qiuyue, who did not enter the oil and salt, refused to let go, at most took a cloth towel dipped in warm water every day to wipe Xiao Yan's body.

It was the first time that Qiulan and Qiuyue saw a pregnant woman who had to bathe and wash her hair in confinement, and they were puzzled, so they naturally told Qianlong about the matter.

After Qianlong heard about this, he suddenly remembered that women a hundred years later could indeed use hot water to wash normally during confinement, and that even stronger Western women did not need to be confined at all, and could even drink cold water when they had just given birth. Thinking about Xiao Yan's strong desire to bathe and shampoo now, Qianlong couldn't help but squint his eyes and think a little more.

That night, when Qianlong walked into the Body and Palace, he saw Xiao Yan getting off the bed in a huff, and insisted on going down to the ground no matter how Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue dissuaded her.

"It's really a little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, it's all nonsense!" Qianlong frowned, strode to the bed, and pressed Xiao Yan's shoulder, "What are you tossing about?" The original son himself is much thinner than others, so why don't you take advantage of the confinement time to recuperate! If you want to take a bath for a while, and then get out of bed, do you have to toss your body out of the problem, leaving a body of disease and hidden dangers that are difficult to cure in the future, so that you can stop? ”

Xiao Yan pursed her lips and explained aggrievedly: "The concubine is not messing around. The concubine just wants to go down to the ground, why not? The concubine body is not a difficult birth, and she was not injured when she gave birth, so why did she need to lie in bed for so long? Your Majesty, you will allow the concubine to go down to the ground and move around in the house! In this way, the body can recover faster. Lying in bed all day long, even a good person who is alive and well will be suffocated! ”

Qianlong stared, "Where are you like this, why are you not injured?" I remember that because the fifth and sixth elder brothers were too big, they tore your birth canal apart! ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, then her face turned red, and she explained hesitantly: "It's just a little tear, and you don't even need to use dressings, and it will heal itself in a few days." The concubine's body has long been out of pain, and I think the wound there should have healed! ”

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan looking at himself with aggrieved eyes, his pitiful appearance was like a little pet begging his master to have mercy and love, his heart moved, he involuntarily raised his hand and patted Xiao Yan's head gently to appease

。 "The little girl is a little restless, and the more than one month of patience has passed. The same is true of other women who have given birth to children. ”

Xiao Yan's body stiffened suddenly, and she secretly sighed in her heart that Qianlong scum was really a big-hearted scumbag. She hadn't washed her hair for five or six days, and although her hair was of excellent quality and would not be oily, if she didn't wash it for a long time, her hair would gradually dry out and lose its smoothness. Especially the scalp is itchy and uncomfortable. Even she herself was reluctant to touch her hair, but she didn't expect Qianlong to be able to touch it, which is really incredible.

If she had encountered such a situation at work in the past, because she was too busy with work tasks to take care of her long hair, Xiao Yan would choose to cut her hair short temporarily. Although she also likes long flowing hair, she doesn't want to waste too much time by taking care of her hair. Anyway, when you have time in the future, you can just keep your hair long. After all, hair grows longer.

However, Xiao Yan, who was in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, did not dare to cut her hair. Don't look at how she makes a fuss about taking a shower and washing her hair, Qianlong can tolerate it, but if she vainly says that she wants to cut her long hair short, it will anger Qianlong.

According to the Manchu rules, it is taboo for a woman to cut her hair, only when her parents or elders or husband pass away, she can cut her hair as a memorial service, if a married woman is fine on weekdays but wants to cut her hair, it will be regarded as a curse to her husband.

Legend has it that Qianlong's step-queen Wulanala was not abolished by Qianlong because she cut her hair privately and angered Shengyan, not only did she not even get the twelve elder brothers who came out of Qianlong to be favored, but even after her death, she could only be buried in the concubine garden as an imperial concubine. This is already an extremely serious insult and punishment for the woman who was once the queen.

Xiao Yan didn't want to let herself fall into such a miserable situation, even if she saw it as an opportunity for herself to go to the ground and bathe and wash her hair, Xiao Yan would be careful not to make Qianlong angry. Who let her still have the task of cheating her father unfinished, and it is undoubtedly very unwise to offend Qianlong before she brushes her favorability to a full score.

In order to persuade Qianlong to allow himself to have a healthy and hygienic confinement in accordance with modern medical methods, Xiao Yan was also full of hard work, and even knelt on the bed, pursed her pink lips, and made a cute appearance like a girl in the cardamom flowering season, pulled Qianlong's sleeves and shook it gently, and pleaded in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really too uncomfortable on the bed, and you can't open the window in the room and can't place an ice bucket to cool down. I'm afraid that the concubine's body is about to get hot prickly heat! You let the concubine go to the ground to move, and simply wash it with hot water, and the concubine guarantees that she will be careful and will not be cold! Besides, if you don't pay attention to hygiene, you are prone to other diseases, which are not good for your health, do you say? ”

Qianlong met Xiao Yan's longing gaze, and suddenly narrowed slightly, thinking that Xiao Yan's biological mother was suppressed by the main room when she gave birth, and she did not have a good confinement after giving birth, and fell into a disease that was difficult to remove, so that she lingered on the sickbed at a young age, and left her only daughter to die early.

According to common sense, Xiao Yan should pay more attention to the confinement matter than others, and she will definitely sit for forty days in accordance with the rules of the palace honestly, how can she be so tossed, she has to bathe and wash her hair? In this way, Xiao Yan really has some experiences and secrets that he doesn't know.

Qianlong knew that Xiao Yan was smart and clever, even if he pointed out the doubts in person at this time, he was afraid that Xiao Yan would not admit it, and would find other reasons to prevaricate, and the result would naturally not be satisfactory to him.

In this case, he might as well write down the little girl's doubts and flaws one by one, and when the time is right, he will put these evidences in front of her, so that she will have no argument and can no longer escape. Only then will it be possible for the little woman to confess her experiences and secrets to him.

Just when Xiao Yan was almost disappointed, thinking that Qianlong would not agree to her, but Qianlong suddenly relented, allowing her to wash her hair with hot water and simply bathe with running water under the service of Qiulan and Qiuyue, and also allowed her to get out of bed and move in the dormitory for half an hour every day

。 Even with the added grace of allowing the body and the temple to open the windows of the dormitory for ventilation when the weather was fine.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, and she didn't have the heart to think about the real reason why Qianlong would suddenly agree to her request, so she happily threw herself into Qianlong's arms, boldly hugged Qianlong's neck, imprinted a kiss on Qianlong's cheek, and then happily bathed and freshened up under the service of Qiulan and Qiuyue.

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan's back in amazement, reached out and touched the right side of his face that was kissed by Xiao Yan just now, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, shook his head and chuckled: "This naughty little girl ......"

Half an hour later, Xiao Yan finally got her wish and cleaned up, and changed into a clean fragrant color base decorated with moon white hibiscus flowers and cloud gauze bedclothes, and her waist-length long hair was not combed into a bun because it had not yet dried out, but it was simply draped behind her, but it looked even more like a high-quality satin, with a beautiful luster, black and soft.

Because this Xiangyun gauze bedrobe is a new dress made by Qianlong and the Internal Affairs Office according to Xiao Yan's figure after giving birth, Xiao Yan wears it very well on her body, and it actually looks more and more like a shaved shoulder, waist like a plain, and her delicate and graceful posture has no traces of pregnancy and childbirth at all.

Qianlong nodded, his eyes darkened, "It's indeed more pleasing to the eye than before." Yan'er came to my side and let me take a good look at you. ”

Xiao Yan was furious by Qianlong's dark phoenix eyes, whenever Qianlong showed this kind of gaze, she would be pestered for a long time to toss, Xiao Yan was stunned in her heart, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Yongqi and Yongying should be about to wake up, and the two little brothers should also feel hungry, so the concubine will go and see them." ”

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Those two boys have to sleep for at least an hour before they wake up every time, and now they have only slept for half an hour, where will they wake up so quickly?" If I tell you to come, you will come, or ...... When the two little brothers wake up after a while, you don't have to feed them yourself, just let the nurse feed them......"

Xiao Yan was suddenly stabbed in the death hole, and could only walk towards Qianlong obediently with a smiling face.

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan who came to him with a light smile, took this fragrant little beauty into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed Xiao Yan's white neck, and reached out to pick up the buckle at the neckline, the fine kiss gradually spread to the beautiful collarbone, leaving a little ambiguous kiss mark on the white chest, causing Xiao Yan's delicate body to tremble slightly, subconsciously put his arm against Qianlong's chest, and whispered "Emperor".

The seductive appearance of the delicate beauty in her arms who wanted to refuse and welcome back made Qianlong's heart hot, and she pestered Xiao Yan for a long time, although she thought that Xiao Yan's body had never really had sex, but she insisted on pulling Xiao Yan to do a lot of intimate things with a blushing heart beat.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan looked at her sticky and greasy palms that were reddened by the ravage, and then looked at the little white liquid stained on the new bedclothes on her upper body for the first time, she felt embarrassed and annoyed, and couldn't help glaring at Qianlong, but the coquettish appearance with affectionate eyebrows and red cheeks made Qianlong laugh loudly.

Qianlong not only did not blame Xiao Yan for being rude, but waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's just a bed coat, I will compensate you for a few new ones." ”

Qianlong said, first of all, he cleaned up briefly, sorted out the dragon robe, and personally scrubbed Xiao Yan's red palm with a warm and moist brocade handkerchief, and then ordered Qiulan to take a light blue mulberry cicada silk bedrobe and put it on Xiao Yan's body personally, fastened the buttons, took the warm goat's milk from Qiu Yue's hand and handed it to Xiao Yan's hand, and then mentioned it as if unintentionally: "Now that you are my concubine, according to the rules of the palace, there should be four palace maids by your side." Do you have a favorite candidate? If there are hearty maidservants in my mother's family, as long as the status is suitable, I can also allow them to enter the palace to serve you. ”

Xiao Yan was almost choked by the goat's milk in her mouth, thinking that Qianlong was really powerful, she had just done the most intimate thing between men and women with her, but now she could make an affectionate look without changing her face to test her, is it really a model of ruthlessness?

The system that had just lifted the shielding state also saw Qianlong's temptation, and hurriedly reminded Xiao Yan: "Master be careful, Qianlong is playing your words, the master must not be deceived by Qianlong's affectionate appearance, according to his current favorability towards the master, he will definitely not allow the master to choose a maid from his mother's house to serve in the palace for no reason, unless Qianlong has other plans."

。 ”

Xiao Yan comforted the system a few words in her heart, but there was a wry smile of disappointment on her face, and she explained softly: "When the concubine was in her mother's house, there was no servant girl by her side at all. As for the concubine after entering the palace, she only got acquainted with the palace maids who served the concubine, Qiulan, and Qiuyue, where are there any suitable candidates? Therefore, please ask the emperor to bother and order the Internal Affairs Office to arrange two more palace maids for the concubine. ”

Qianlong's expression eased slightly, and he rubbed Xiao Yan's long hair with a light smile, "That's fine, I will order the Internal Affairs Office to select two smart and clever palace maids with quick hands and feet to come over, and I won't let you worry about it a little." You already have Qiulan and Qiuyue two palace maids by your side, and these two new palace maids are responsible for doing some rough cleaning work. ”

Xiao Yan nodded with a light smile, looked at Qianlong gratefully, and said softly: "Concubine, thank you to the emperor for taking the trouble to arrange for the concubine." The concubine has been in the palace for a short time, and she doesn't understand anything, if it weren't for the emperor's considerate arrangement, the concubine would have made a lot of ridiculous jokes! ”

Qianlong didn't care whether Xiao Yan was really grateful to him, or if he acted wisely according to his wishes, all in all, so far, Qianlong was extremely satisfied with Xiao Yan, a beautiful and knowledgeable woman.

Qianlong's movements were extremely fast, and that night he ordered the Internal Affairs Office to send two palace maids to serve in the Chuxiu Palace and Palace.

To Xiao Yan's surprise, the two newcomers were twin sisters, and their appearance was extremely similar, and at first glance it was impossible to tell who was who. The two palace maids, one named Xue Qing and the other Xue Kite, looked like they were only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The two palace maids cautiously walked into the body and hall, and respectfully saluted Qianlong and Xiao Yan to say goodbye. The rules of the two are excellent, although they are beautiful and beautiful, they all hang their heads in accordance with the palace rules, do not squint, and do not look at each other in a flattering manner.

After the two palace maids reported their names separately, Qianlong said to Xiao Yan with a light smile: "Since the two of them will serve you in the future, whatever name do you like, choose a new name for them." ”

When Xue Qing and Xue Kite heard this, they both saluted Xiao Yan respectfully, "The slave respectfully asks the concubine to give her name." ”

Xiao Yan looked sideways for a moment and said with a smile: "I like your names very much, it's great to call them Xue Qing and Xue Kite, so you don't need to bother to change them." After thinking about it, he said: "There are not many errands in the body and hall, and you two only need to obey Qiulan's arrangement in the future." ”

Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan's reaction quietly, seeing that she turned a blind eye to the excellent appearance of Xue Qing and Xue Kite, and had never been dissatisfied with his arrangement of two beautiful palace maids and palace errands, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't say much, just waved his hand and ordered Xue Qing and Xue Kite to retreat for the time being.

At this time, Yongqi and Yongying, the two little brothers, woke up, but they didn't see their biological mother crying. Qianlong kept his promise to let the nurse carry the two little brothers to Xiao Yan's side, and allowed Xiao Yan to breastfeed the two little brothers by herself.

Don't look at Yongqi and Yongying were just born, but the two little ones eat a lot. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's milk is sufficient, and she can still satisfy the appetite of the two little babies. It's a pity that after a strong and domineering entanglement by Qianlong, the stock of milk on Xiao Yan's chest has been much less than usual, Yongqi and Yongying couldn't express the milk without a few sips, and they suddenly cried unhappily.

Xiao Yan was distressed and glared at Qianlong with disgust. Qianlong laughed and patted the little faces of the two little brothers full of grievances and tears, and taught seriously: "For the sake of your mother's face, I have already been extra kind to you two little guys, and you should also learn to be content and happy." After that, he ordered the two nurses to take the two little brothers down to feed.
