Although the folk Lantern Festival has gradually become lively as usual, because Qianlong has to keep filial piety for three years, the lantern festival in the royal palace is still very deserted. On the fourteenth night of the first month of Qianlong, he visited Zhang Tingyu, Ortai, Shi Yizhi, Sun Jiagan and Li Wei and other important military and political ministers one by one, and returned to the palace, but saw that in front of the weeping flower gate and the Yongxiang road, all the white gauze lamps were hung, swaying in the biting cold wind, flickering and darkening, and they felt very desolate, and they suddenly gave birth to an inexplicable jealousy. Qianlong thought about it and went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked at the watch, and just after the unitary, he called Gao Wuyong and ordered him to quickly pass Shuntianfu Yin into the palace. Gao Wuyong said with a smile: "Master forgot, Shuntian Mansion Yin Heqin had a vacancy last month, and he hasn't filled the vacancy yet!" Do you want the minions to pass on their knowledge to meet the driver? ”

"Don't." Qianlong was stunned for a moment before he remembered, and said with a self-defeating smile, "I'm a little angry, just a year after the death of the first emperor, look outside, it's like it's all right." Firecrackers, social firefighters, hundreds of plays, and dragon lanterns are full of tricks! I take leniency as a policy, and don't indulge, I am so careless under my head, I really can't raise a villain! You don't have to go to Shuntianfu, just send a message to Liu Tongxun and tell him to come in. ”

"Wow!"

Gao Wuyong agreed and retreated. Qianlong made up his mind and took a stack of concerts from the desk, the first one was Eshan's, but it was a report on the relief of the victims after the flood in Anhui. The previous details of the flooding of the Huanghuai River, the collapse of 17 places, and the disaster of 7 prefectures and 20 counties, and then plays:

…… Xing Qiwen, the political envoy of Anhui Province, only deceived him for the crime of failing to defend the river in seven places. The minister inspected Shuizhou County on the spot, and it was really a thousand miles away, but it was just ten rooms and nine empty? Today, although the winter clothes have been transferred from Jiangsu by request, the victims are all over the place, sleeping in the wilderness under the severe frost, and sometimes there are cold and hungry people thrown into the wilderness. The gentry from other provinces flocked to Anhui to buy slaves at a cheap price. The grass label of the yellow-mouthed children in the market is sold, and the sound of the child's cry and mother's crying is heard in the sky, and the ministers can't bear to hear it. Thinking about it, this is all the fault of Xing Qiwen and others who are greedy and ignorant, and Meng Sai Shengcong. At that time, Xing reported truthfully, our emperor is like a good birth, and the hungry people are so miserable, how can they not be gracious? Recently, it was reported that the White Lotus Sect members were quite involved in the disaster victims in the name of doing good. In order to prevent a change, the minister had the courage to ask the king to order the banner to behead Xing Qiwen. If you don't ask for an order and behead a big man, the ministers know the crimes, and the ministers know!

Seeing this, Qianlong's eyes jumped, and Zhu Pen was folding the book:

Well done! What is the sin? However, the congregation of the sect should also be carefully visited, and the first offender should be arrested in accordance with the law of the country--I will decree at the moment, and the decision will be as if it were a thief, and it will be an order forever. You can spread my will, and quickly dispatch reed mats and felt from Liangjiang, Shandong, and Zhili to the victims to calm people's hearts.

Then looking down, Eshan wrote:

Disaster relief food is far from sufficient according to its original purpose. Fortunately, when the former governor Li Wei was in office, each township had Yicang, which could still be supported until February. In accordance with the old system of disaster relief of the first emperor, thousands of victims set up a porridge shed, the porridge soup is not poured, the porridge is wrapped in a towel and does not seep, and the cold porridge is edible by hand. And since the establishment of the relief, the investigation and punishment of the embezzlement of disaster relief silver two illegal Mo officials county order seven people, Xu officials 473 people, dismissal of the flail number of punishment, has been reported to the second department of the household. However, the emperor silently checked the hearts of his ministers, observed the disaster, and hoped to quickly allocate 1.2 million taels of silver to prepare for the spring famine. Xia Mai opened the sickle, and the minister should return to Beijing to report the order, if the minister can't make the people here all over the emperor's grace, there is really no shame to see my holy monarch.

When Qianlong saw this, his heart couldn't help but be hot, his eyes stared at the bright candle in front of the case, he pondered for a long time, and criticized at the end of the fold word by word:

Qing's loyalty to the country is as bright as the moon, and the one who is not moved by this is the faint emperor. I take leniency as the government, and the aim is to ease the hearts of the people in the world, and the officials will govern the Qing and Li Shuning, and the world will be peaceful. There are many civil and military ministers who are negligent and slack and whitewash their merits, there are many landlords and business owners who act recklessly to increase their land endowments, and the sons of tenants who are poor and scoundrels have those who despise the law, which is really hateful! Qing took the golden mean and ruled by twisting and conquering, which won my heart. Qing and Lu Zhuo, Li Shiyao, Qian Du, A Gui, and Liu Tongxun were newly enthroned. I was optimistic about Liu Kang and his people, but now I have quite a few shortcomings. Reluctantly, don't live up to your heart, and you will have grace and you will do it!

After writing, Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of **, and took another copy, but it was the Zhejiang governor who reported on Lu Zhuo's governance of the Jianshan Dam Project:

…… The minister obeyed the order to check, the dam is six zhang high, seven hundred and forty zhang long, the strong city that stands majestically, all are covered with solid stones, and the river yamen of the inquiry, the flood of a hundred years is not enough to worry about. However, Lu Zhuo's shape is stubborn, and his body is extremely weak! Now that the embankment work is completed, Lu Zhuo is anxious to return to Beijing to report his life, and the minister thinks that the officer's body is very weak at the moment, and it is not suitable to go to the road immediately, so he is ordered to recuperate on the spot for three months before going to Beijing. In addition, the gentry and people here are quite discussed as Lu Jiansheng Ancestral Hall, this matter is big, and it is not for the ministers to be able to handle it.

Qianlong suddenly felt a burst of pride in his heart, in the end, his eyesight was not bad, and he had just criticized Lu Zhuo as a new person on that fold, and this fold immediately added face to himself, so he waved his pen and criticized:

You can take Lu Zhuo into the yazhong to recuperate, and I have sent the imperial doctor to the palace. The matter of the ancestral hall is subordinated to the will of the people, but it is a matter of the system, and one is allowed to be built. There are many, and I am afraid that Lu Zhuo will not be able to bear it, so I admire this!

As soon as she put down the pen and wanted to see other twists and turns, Qin Meimei quietly came in with a curtain, Qianlong saw it in a blink of an eye, and asked, "Did the queen call you over?" What's the matter? Before Qin Meimei could answer, a palace maid had already raised the curtain high, and the queen Fucha Xu stepped in, followed by a palace maid behind the queen of the Fucha clan, holding a cloisonné plate in her hand, and a hot pot on the plate was boiling and sneering with white smoke. The eunuchs and palace ladies of the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately knelt on the ground. Qianlong couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so late, it's hard for you to think about it." There are more than a dozen pieces here, and it was said that they would pass after reading them. ”

"Get up." The queen looked at the eunuchs with a smile, bowed slightly to Qianlong, sat on the edge of the kang opposite Qianlong, and said, "I just returned to Zhongcui Palace from Cining Palace, and Lafayette said that the emperor went out to visit the adults outside tonight, and told him that he didn't need to come over today to say goodbye." After returning to the palace, my cook just stewed a pot of pheasant cub fish head tofu soup, this is your favorite use, and the heat is okay, so come and have a look. Qianlong stood and listened to the queen's words convey to his mother, and said "yes". He smiled: "It's still my 'Zitong' who thinks thoughtfully." I want to pass some snacks for it! Stretching out his chopsticks, he took out a piece of white tofu from the hot pot and blew it, and scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "Good!" The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor still said that he doesn't like to watch dramas, and 'Zitong' has been called out, don't the people below laugh when they hear it?" ”

Qianlong smiled slightly, and only used a spoon to scoop the soup and drink. Gao Wuyong outside came in and said: "Liu Tongxun has already announced that he is waiting for the decree outside the Chonghua Gate." Seeing that Qianlong was eating sweetly, Fucha said busily: "Why are you so blind?" Tell him to wait a while! - It's so late, what does the emperor tell him to do? Qianlong picked up a few pieces of tofu and ate them, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said: "This tofu soup is really easy to use-yes: I went out for a walk tonight, except for the red light outside, it is no different from previous years, and the national mourning has not passed for three years, why are people happy?" Tell Liu Tongxun to go out tonight and have a look at the ministers' homes. I can't ban the people, can't I even manage my own minions? Even Ortai's family set off fireworks to entertain guests, which is too unusual! ”

"It's not my business." Fucha said with a smile, "What books hasn't the emperor read?" 'Relatives or sorrows, others have also sung', this is human nature. Isn't it because it's a holiday that you are walking around the ministers' homes tonight, and everyone is happy to go and comfort others? In this way, it has become a way to find fault with others, is it cost-effective? Besides, Lafayette just had a decree, this year's Lantern Festival does not have colorful lanterns, and the palaces have been detained for a year, but they can also be loose and loose, as long as they don't need to be happy. Cining Palace will set up a few tables of feasts tomorrow night, summoning the women to come in and have fun with Lafayette! You asked Liu Tongxun to toss so much outside, and even Lafayette's face was swept away. The queen persuaded eloquently, and Qianlong also smiled. Only then did I realize that I was lonely and wanted to force others to be lonely. But Liu Tongxun has already been called, and he has no business at hand, so how can he be good? Thinking about it, he ordered: "Call Liu Tongxun in." Fucha got up and was about to leave, but Qianlong stopped and said: "This is an upright courtier, and he is in the prime of life, and Yonglian will be able to use it in the future, there is no harm in seeing it." Then Fucha sat down.

Liu Tongxun was summoned to the palace at night, but he was blocked from waiting outside the Heart Nourishing Hall for a long time, and he didn't know what happened, and he was hesitant and uneasy. He stood outside the door of the weeping flowers and looked at the starry sky, one by one thinking about the cases he had handled recently and the messengers he had assigned, and reflected in circles, which one had any mistakes, which one still had a place to ask for an order, and conspired with the emperor to ask which thing and how to reply. Suddenly, it occurred to me that I should hand over the secret mission to do it myself? All kinds of cranky thoughts. Hearing the rumor, Liu Tongxun hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, trotted up the steps to the Danqi of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and reported softly: "Minister, Liu Tongxun is ordered to drive!" Gao Wuyong lifted the curtain and went in, but he tripped over the threshold.

"Gao Wuyong," Qianlong said in the warm pavilion, "this threshold is too high, and there are already a few foreign officials stumbling." Tomorrow I will tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to redo it, and drop it by three inches, but listen? Gao Wuyong hurriedly bowed and agreed. Only then did Liu Tongxun see that the Fucha clan was also there, so he hurriedly took a step forward and bowed his head and said, "Minister Liu Tongxun respectfully invites Sheng'an, respectfully invites Niang Niang Jin'an!" Summoning ministers all night, I don't know what to do? ”

Qianlong glanced at the Fucha clan with a smile and said, "You don't want Emperor Zhang, there is no important matter." Fang Cai went out for a walk, and went to the homes of several ministers. I want to see you too. Ge Yu is just a waiter, afraid that there will be something to discuss. The queen just sent a pheasant fish head tofu hot pot, and I was very useful, and I was not willing to finish it. Niangniang said that although Liu Tongxun's status is low, he is a loyal minister, so he rewarded you with food. Tomorrow, if you want to patrol the streets during the Lantern Festival, you will be rewarded and you will not be able to eat well. Eat it right here, finish it! "Fucha didn't expect Qianlong to do this. gave up the great favor to himself, couldn't help but smile, and actually got up and brought Qianlong's leftover hot pot over and put it on a few beside Liu Tongxun.

"Thank you, thank you, master, mother......" Liu Tongxun held back tears and swirled in his eyes, and finally opened the floodgates and flowed out, kowtowing to the ground, choked so choked that he couldn't speak, "How can the minister be virtuous, Master Lao and Niangniang are so caring and concerned......" He stood up tremblingly, sat on the pestle, and ate the hot pot one bite at a time.

Qianlong and the empress never spoke. For fear that he would not be comfortable eating, the queen took a piece of paper and drew embroidery patterns on it, but Qianlong looked at the piece one by one, until Liu Tongxun got up to thank him, then nodded and smiled and waved his hand: "You sit." There are still a few words to complete, and I still have something to say. After finishing speaking, he put down his pen and said, "What do you think of Liu Kang?" ”

"This person is quite diligent." As soon as Liu Tongxun heard it, he knew that it was for today's matter of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and he was secretly surprised that Qianlong was well-informed, and he pondered the words and said: "He is in Shandong for disaster relief, and he really doesn't take anything, and his official reputation is very good. Since he was transferred to Shanxi, there have been a slight whispers in the officialdom, taking too much care of the friendship of his colleagues, like a person who is delicate on all sides, and he is happy to become bigger and not want to forge ahead? The wall of the money touch this time is also for this. In fact, the Pinglu case really has nothing to do with him, and Qian Du made a fuss, and the minister also felt that it was too much. This is a private warning, and it can be dealt with secretly, so why deliberately publicize it? Qianlong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "This is the lack that must be seen outside." Both are good, and both are bearable. But Qian Du is gold in person, and he doesn't love money but cherishes his name, so he has the intention of selling his reputation and reputation, and he also has some small problems. Listening to the Shanxi general's performance, Liu Kang did not accept gifts before doing things, and dared to accept them after finishing things, I don't know if it is true or not. I remember that he was originally a private school teacher, and he was very down, and he donated 10,000 silver at once for disaster relief in Shandong. Since he is a Qing official, where does the silver come from? Alas...... There are too many things in the world that can't be guessed. Liu Tongxun hurriedly bowed down and smiled: "Yes." Reading the Di Bao in front, Fu Heng's recital, the lord is lenient for the government, the original is to seek governance, and the lower officials are all willing to welcome the holy will and whitewash the peace, in order to settle the reputation of a simple government and a lawsuit, some county officials dare to use a stick to punish the two sides of the original defendant to settle the lawsuit, which is inconceivable to people. ”

Qianlong nodded while listening, and sighed: "Exempting money and grain, repairing river defenses, this is a major policy, and the subjects of the world still benefit from it no matter what." It's just that there are some places where you can't be considerate, either resisting and not doing it, or being negligent and slack. It's strange that all the good things that are clearly done are crooked! There are cults in disaster-stricken areas, and this is a disease of scabies, and what is terrible is that there are uneven droughts and floods, and the blessings are not everywhere, giving traitors an opportunity to take advantage of. Liu Tongxun said: "The emperor's words are insightful. Chen Buyi was born and knows the taste. When most scholars were not officials, most of them had the ambition of helping the world and saving the people and benefiting one party. Once you become an official, you forget these fundamentals; When you are a petty official, you want to be a big official, and when you are a big official, you still want to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and it all depends on the color of the top, and it has nothing to do with the people. Who still thinks about reading the books of sages and establishing aspirations for governing the country? The upper officials want to please the emperor, and the lower officials want to please the constitution. So those who go to the yellow door use money, those who go to the red door send women, and all kinds of strange and ugly things come out. It's just a white cloth, soaked in this dye vat, and there's a good one? Qianlong laughed and said, "According to you Liu Tongxun, how should I correct it?" ”

"There's no way." Liu Tongxun shook his head with a smile, "Since the two hundred and seventy-two emperors of the ancestral dragon, no one has cured this one. In the past, Empress Wu Zetian called the system, hated corrupt officials to set up secret boxes, allowed the people to play directly to the imperial court, appointed cool officials to investigate and secretly visit, and the officials killed batch after batch, and every time the new scholars entered the court, the eunuchs said, 'There is another batch of dead ghosts' - it is still a corrupt official who cannot be killed and killed. Why? To be an official and powerful, to honor the ancestors, Yutang Golden Horse Qiong Liquor, its taste is irreplaceable. Only those who are the main body observe the people's feelings and take the people's will as the will of God. Trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice, correcting the evils of the times at any time, can only delay the revolution. ”

When Qianlong and the queen heard his comments, they couldn't help but be moved. After pondering for a long time, Qianlong got up, paced in his footsteps, and suddenly turned around and said: "Tomorrow I will make an order, you will also be the deputy capital of the left and the imperial history, well-Fu Heng has been outside for a long time, you will inspect Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Ganshan and Zhili for me as a messenger, and the situation will be played truthfully, it is late, you kneel down, and Ming'er will hand over the sign and talk about it." ”

Qianlong stayed at the queen's place that night. Because he knew that the queen was weak and hot, and she coughed slightly, Qianlong was suddenly shocked, and when he inquired carefully, he learned that the Fucha clan had not come to the water for two months. Qianlong smiled: "It's scary, it turns out to be happy!" I'm going to add another dragon to me! The queen seemed to be very preoccupied, her petite body was nestled in Qianlong's arms, and she shook her head slightly and said, "It's happy." He is also sick. It's been a few days since this nameless fever. Qianlong stroked her hair and said slowly: "You always can't lift your spirits, you are endowed and thin, a little cold and hot, how can you not be sick?" You are the queen of my love, the mother of the world, all I have is yours, you should be cheerful and happy! ”

The queen didn't answer, for a long time, she slowly turned her head, and pulled the veil and quietly wiped away her tears.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, happy."

"Happy or crying?"

"Women are not happy like men."

"Inexplicable." Qianlong couldn't help but smile and was about to speak, but the queen said: "If I die, what name will the emperor give me?" ”

The smile froze on Qianlong's face, Huo Di sat up, pulled Fucha's shoulder, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? The queen sat up, looked at the candlelight in the yarn lamp, sighed and smiled: "I think of the old lady Guerjia in front of me, who is also nameless fever, coughing, and less than twenty years old...... didn't even have a nickname, in vain because the emperor hurt her. I'm going to die, the emperor added the word 'filial piety' to me, and Jiuquan will be blind. Before she finished speaking, Qianlong covered her mouth and said, "I don't allow you to say such things again." There have been a lot of things since you ascended to the pole, and you are not in good health, so I haven't spent much of the night with you. We have been in the same place since childhood, and you still don't know me? Don't be cranky...... Sleep ......."

On the second day, Qianlong woke up, saw the queen bent her snow arms exposed outside the quilt, breathed evenly, fell asleep calmly, and there were tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. Several palace maids who kept watch came over to wait, Qianlong waved his hand and waved away, and asked Qin Meimei to come over and ask, "How much does the queen eat a day now?" Qin Meimei saw Qianlong's gloomy face, and said in a careful whisper: "Niangniang's meal is not fragrant, all of them are vegetarian, two meals, the slave looks at it, and one meal is only two taels of old rice." Occasionally add a little lychee melon fruit in your spare time. However, the meat dishes made by the former chef Zheng Er are still fragrant. After Zheng Er left, the slave never saw Niangniang eat meat dishes. Qianlong asked, "Where is Zheng Er now?" Qin Meimei smiled and said: "He stole a chicken blood red porcelain bottle from the imperial kitchen, buried it in a cinder truck and transported it out, and asked the Internal Affairs Office to find out and beat it-" Before he finished nagging, Qianlong waved his hand to stop and said: "You will go to pass the decree in a while, and ask Zheng Er to come in and wait, and the monthly routine will be doubled, and if you have money, you won't steal anything." Tell Zheng Er that the master Niangniang will enter one or two pieces of meat, and I will reward him with one or two pieces of silver! ”

"Ahh

Qianlong paused for a moment and asked, "Who is the imperial doctor who checked Niangniang's pulse?" "Ye Zhendong." Qin Meimei hurriedly said, "The number one doctor in the Tai Hospital will not treat people if he does not follow the order." said that, the mother's nameless fever is exhausted, and she wants to use fresh bear bile. Only this flavor medicine is too rare in winter. Dogs and sunspots don't come out of the nest in winter, where can they get so many fresh bear bile? "You should go back to me for these things." Qianlong said with a blank face, "There are still more than a dozen bears in the Changchun Garden Animal Garden!" Use it first. I asked General Heilongjiang to catch a live bear and send it over. Joke! Can't you catch the bears of the cat winter? Speaking of this, Qianlong felt a little cold, only then did he think that he was talking in a small coat, and when he got up and entered the inner room, Fucha had woken up, his eyes were blazing, and when he saw Qianlong coming in, he got up in his clothes and said: "I heard it all, life and death are shortened in the sky." I'm not going to do anything for a while. Your Majesty, you are too solemn, but I can't bear it. ”

"Respect the mandate of heaven and do your best, otherwise what do you want people to do?" Qianlong smiled, "If you open your mind a little more, you will know what to do when I ask." Several palace maids knelt or stood busily dressing Qianlong, putting a stone blue silk mink fur gold dragon gown on the outside of the yellow silk two-color gold black fox gold dragon robe, stepping on a pair of green satin felt soap boots, and wearing a crown of medium wool smoked mink satin Tai Zhengzhu on his head. The queen looked at each other, and personally came over to tie a gold-inlaid blue tie for Qianlong, flattening it to reveal the golden thread, and then said with satisfaction: "You go and do serious things." As soon as he looked up and saw Niu Hulu standing in front of the bead curtain, he asked, "When did you come in, I don't know." ”

Niu Hulu looked at the loving couple slightly sourly, listened to the queen's question, hurriedly squatted down and said with a smile: "I just came from Lafayette." Lafayette said, go and take a look at the master's body and bones, I said okay, Niangniang's kang table is not heavy, yesterday I went to see that the complexion was much better, and I could still afford to lift it [1]

......" she said that Qianlong was already laughing, and said: "It's all the queen's habit of you, so even she made fun of her." You go to Cining Palace first, and when I come back, I will go over to greet my mother. Whoever came in was ordered by the foreign officials to come in, and made a list to come in and show me and the queen. Niu Hulu smiled and said, "The list has entered Cining Palace!" The emperor can rest assured, what you should see and what you want to see, you can be sure to see it! ”

"That's good." Qianlong heard the chiming bell hit seven times in a row, no longer delayed, and said, "I will go over after the incense." Then he came out and sat in a warm sedan chair, the eunuch Ma Baoyu and Wu Jinxi led to the door of Shunzhen, and there were already guards Selenge and Su Lun to take over, and the foreman and old guard Zhang Wuge led the way, first to the big high hall to make incense, turn to the Shouhuang Palace to salute, and then to the Qin'an Palace, the altar to worship the incense, Kunning Palace West case, North case, Stove Jun also sacrificed, and went to the East Warm Pavilion in front of the god card, in front of the Buddha to salute. Just passing by the palace where Jinxia committed suicide, Qianlong's heart moved, and he ordered the public opinion to stop, and Ma Baoyu, who was with him, said with a smile: "This hall has been deserted for a year, and the ritual note list sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not arranged to sacrifice this ......hall" Before he finished speaking, Qianlong's eyes swept over, and Ma Baoyu trembled. Qianlong said: "Is it from the Ministry of Rites, or from the Ministry of Rites?" If you don't go anywhere else, I must sacrifice this temple. Open it! ”

This partial palace has been locked since Jinxia's death, and it is rumored that people in the palace often hear the sound of crying at night, and those who patrol the night are all out of the way. Qianlong pushed open the door, immediately a few snow chickens quacked and flew out, several eunuchs were frightened, had to come in with Qianlong, but saw that the artemisia grass growing in the crack of the blue brick was enough to be one person high, the dust blocked the key, the corridor was silent like an ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years, and the wind Xiao Xiao swept through the hall, making a slight sound, as if leaving people to cry. Qianlong's face seemed to be sad and happy, and he walked the withered path to the front of the house where Jinxia originally lived, and when he looked in through the window paper, the light was very dark, and he saw dust all over the ground, which seemed to be printed with a lot of rats and weasel footprints, and a few old books were scattered in front of the partition, and the sea red curtain against the bed was still held - everything was the way it was that night, only a stool was overturned under the corner of the wall against the beam, and a statue of Maitreya Buddha on the wall had become dark, and the Buddha looked at the house with a big belly and half open lips, as if he wanted to say something...... Qianlong couldn't help but tremble: Jinxia put the silk rope around her neck on this stool!

"I mistook you, I lost your ......" Qianlong took a step back and bowed slightly to the window lattice, said with tears, lit three incense sticks and installed the small incense burner on the stone steps, and silently recited in his heart: "There is a fate in this world, and there is no fate in this life, and there is no fate in this life to wish to be born in the next ......life" In the desolate barren smoke and vines, he paced, and whispered sadly:

The old dressing table of the remnant palace is full of artemisia.

Where is the pink gone? There is only one tear left!

was complacent and had nothing to dispel, Gao Wuyong hurriedly walked in, stood behind Qianlong and said: "Your Majesty, the middle hall of the relatives called the servants to come over to ask for orders, and the officials above the second rank in Beijing have gathered in the Qianqing Palace, please ask the emperor to go over and receive congratulations." "It's gone." Qianlong waved his hand, "Tell them to kowtow to the throne and go back for the festival!" ”

"Wow!"

"Come back." Qianlong suddenly changed his mind again, "I'm going to go!" ”

[1]

Here is an allusion to the story of Meng Guang and Liang Hong's eyebrows, referring to the love between Qianlong and Fucha.
