Chapter 5 The fifth chapter comforts the old ministers, tastes tea, discusses the leniency of the government, moves the love of spring, lives in the funeral, and plays the father and concubine

On August 23rd, Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and made a public announcement detailing the illness and death of Emperor Daxing in order to appease the world.At this time, Emperor Qianlong was only twenty-five years old, which was the time when he was proud and ambitious.When he was in the mansion, he practiced martial arts riding and shooting, exercised his muscles and bones, ate hard and stayed up all night, took care of funerals during the day, and handled government affairs as ordinary people. At the third watch and at the fifth watch, I got up again and went to the upper study.With such a struggle, not only Zhang Tingyu and Ertai were miserable, but even the brothers Hong Xiao and Hong Zhou found it difficult to support them.However, Qianlong was flexible. After seven days, he ordered his brothers to go inside to serve the spirit in three rounds, and the uncles and kings would keep their filial piety in their respective mansions after crying for the spirit every day.But Ertai and Zhang Tingyu couldn't be lazy and couldn't live in the big house, so they ordered to set up a shed for them in Longzongmen. The study room and the military plane are close at hand. Although they are tired, they can avoid the pain of trekking.During this period, imperial edicts were issued, respecting mother and concubine Niu Hulu as the empress dowager, and enshrining Fucha as empress Xiaoxian.In the first year of Qianlong's reign, the imperial edict of grace was issued, and the examination was given, and the world was amnesty.Until the 15th day of September, Qianlong ordered the Yongzheng Zigong to be enshrined in the Lama Temple, and he would be buried in the Tailing Mausoleum after three years of filial piety.After resigning from the coffin at Lama Temple, the vigorous funeral has actually come to an end.White flags were removed inside and outside the Forbidden City, and yellow gauze palace lanterns were replaced in one color.

September 16 was a day off, and Zhang Tingyu, who was exhausted, slept from the night of September 15 until Shenshi the next afternoon, and when he got up, he felt sore all over his body.He was dressed loosely in a maroon-colored woolen lake silk jacket. After having some snacks, he sat by the window in the study in the West Garden. He casually pulled out a book from the shelf. After reading two chapters, he heard the parrot under the eaves yelling: "A guest is coming, Lord Zhongtang! A guest is coming, Lord Zhongtang!" "This bird is really considerate." There was a sudden laughter from outside, and then the curtain slammed, Qianlong had already entered, and he smiled and said to Zhang Tingyu who was stunned: "It's rare to have half a day off in Fusheng. I'm bothering you." Then he went on Seeing Fu Heng, Hong Xiao and Pingjun Wang Fupeng - all close relatives of Qianlong, accompanying attendants of Yuqing Palace - they all entered the room with their attendants, standing behind Qianlong with their hands down, looking at Zhang Tingyu with a smile.Qianlong was dressed in casual clothes, held the bamboo fan of the concubine Xiang in one hand, sat down with his robe lifted, and said: "It's so quiet here, but the autumn colors in the garden are too heavy, so it's a bit chilly. I just went to Ertai Mansion to see him, and he was still asleep. I didn't disturb him, so I came to you again. Why, don't you even want to have tea?"

Zhang Tingyu kowtowed to the ground in a panic, and said, "Forgive me for my crime of disrespect! This servant has worked in the late emperor's hands for thirteen years, and there has never been such a case—how can a master come to visit this servant! Disgusting old servant!" It's done!" He said repeatedly ordering people, "Quickly, dig out the jar of snow water stored last year, and make tea for the master!" "Snow water brewing tea, good!" Qianlong smiled and nodded, "Just fry it in this outhouse. Let me know when the water is about to boil, and I will brew it for you myself. The eunuchs in Prince Bao’s residence are all good at making tea, and I taught them! ——Sit, sit down!” "Today we are all guests, don't be bound by the etiquette of the emperor and ministers. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to sit and talk about Taoism and drink tea?" Everyone saluted and thanked their seats.As soon as he sat down, before he could speak, he heard the boy who was digging the snow water jar in the garden exclaim in surprise: "Ah! What is this?" Zhang Tingyu looked through the window angrily. ,

"Master Xiang!" A young servant ran in excitedly holding a wet cup of soil, and said with a smile, "It's really a rare thing, a purple-red mushroom, like a crab shell, and it's still hard!" As soon as the light came on, he got up and said: "Ganoderma lucidum! Your Majesty is in the house of Xingchen, and he is born with auspiciousness—" He suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday Qianlong had scolded Sun Guoxi, the governor of Henan Province, for "speech of auspiciousness, and regard me as the one who can be deceived." He paused Yes, with a look of embarrassment on his face.What a delicate person Qianlong was, he immediately saw it, and said with a chuckle: "There is still auspiciousness. The world prospers, river maps and Luo books are published; the world is chaotic, mountains, rivers, and lakes collapse. Hengchen reads five carts, don't understand this reason? Like what Sun Guoxi said, "Thousands of silkworms weave one cocoon" and asked him to come in, he said it was a rumor; he said "nine ears of grain share the same branch", I saw it in the mansion in the past years-in fact, it was a big deflated ear, scattered It’s just divided into a few small spikes. I personally went to the valley in Shandong to see that there were a lot of them, and the common people called them ‘silly spikes’. They are so tall that they have no seeds in them! Can you believe such a “auspicious” spike?” Ping Jun Wang Fupeng interjected: "Long live's words are really a blessing in the world. Looking at the annals of history, Wang Mang's new dynasty has the most "auspiciousness". 'Coax yourself. Too much "auspiciousness" will cause a hundred harms and no benefits." Hong Xiao said beside him: "As long as it is true, what should be reported must be reported. Just like today, the master did not notify Hengchen, and suddenly came Fortunately, when I asked for tea by chance, there was a purple ganoderma in the world. It cannot be said that there is no intention in the dark. Seeing the relaxed atmosphere, Zhang Tingyu was so happy that his face lit up, and he smiled: "My master is lucky. This is the auspiciousness of the country, and also the auspiciousness of the Han family Chengze.No matter what the princes think, the old minister is happy anyway. "

"This is Hengchen's family fortune." Qianlong said with a smile, "But it just appeared when I came here, so I'm really happy." As he spoke, he asked for a pen and paper.Zhang Tingyu hurriedly came over with the inkstone, and Fu Heng smoothed the paper one by one.Qianlong dipped in thick ink and wrote solemnly, writing the four big characters "Zizhi Shushe" with great energy.His handwriting was good at first, but at this moment, he was so full of energy that his brush strokes were like the wind, and he looked like a dragon and snake flying in a majestic and luxurious manner. Zhang Tingyu called "Okay" first, and everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts.Qianlong himself was also satisfied, took out his small seal, and said: "My jade seal is still being engraved. This is the title given to me by the late emperor, so I can use it." Then the seal was sealed.When everyone looked at it, it was:

Changchun Layman The four seal characters form an interesting contrast with the dignified block letters.The seal is good, pointing to the paper and saying: "This is Ci Hengchen." Amid all the admiration, Zhang Tingyu kowtowed to thank him, put the paper on the long case with both hands, and told the servant: "No one is allowed to move, and I will call Tang's mounting shop tomorrow, and I will watch them mount." As he said, Li Wei broke in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "There is a fragrance of pen and ink here, and there is a small boy fanning the stove on the porch to make tea. Zhang Xiang is in a good mood today. It is better to catch up early. Li Wei is now—" He suddenly saw Qianlong Sitting in front of the desk, he suddenly stopped, and it was fixed in place like a nail!

"Today I want to have a good meal, don't you?" Qianlong said with a smile; "Why, Li Wei, don't you know me?"Said: "The slave is the master's dog, how could he not recognize the master! It's just too sudden, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while." Qianlong said: "Get up. I said that I summoned you, but today it's a coincidence—put your robe on Go, sit on Fu Heng and go down." As he spoke, he heard Tong'er shouting outside: "Master Xiang, the water is ringing!" Then he saw a young servant carrying several exquisite jasper cups on a stick and tea caddy come in.Zhang Tingyu hurriedly took it and held it in front of Qianlong.

Everyone carefully watched how Qianlong acted.He opened the teapot, took a look at a pinch of tea leaves, and said, "This Biluochun is not the best. Tomorrow, I will reward you with a bag of my daughter Biluochun. You can eat it." With a pinch of tea, he asked everyone Put a little of each in the cup like grabbing medicine, and a little Xitong has come in with a freshly boiled pot.Qianlong rolled up his cuffs and held the pot in his hand, and poured about half a tael of boiling water into the cups, and the dry tea leaves immediately sizzled.He listened quietly to the sound of tea leaves being stretched, carefully observed the color of the water in each cup, and added water bit by bit.Sitting down, he smiled and said, "Dew is the best for drinking tea, followed by snow water, followed by rain water. The lighter the water, the better the color and taste. Your snow water is not as good as it was in the past year. This is not true. The longer the wine, the better." Zhang Tingyu looked at the tea, which was as clear as amber, and filled the room with the fragrance of tea, and said with a smile: "How can I save this, I just think that drinking tea can refresh my mind and quench my thirst. It's just the same I have never smelled such a scent of water and tea before!" As he spoke, he wanted to serve it.

"Wait a minute, this tea is only half-warm. It tastes good. As for quenching thirst, boiled water is also good." Qianlong waved his hand to stop, and said: "It was the fragrance of the king just now, and now it is a hermit It’s fragrant, try smelling it.” Everyone held their breath and sniffed, and it turned out that the fragrance of the tea was different from before.Just now the fragrance was strong and mellow, but now it is a delicate fragrance, like the orchids in the empty valley, clear and refreshing.Li Wei shook his head and said in surprise: "Master, the sage learns from Yuanquan, it really makes people tongue-tied, there is such a knowledge in a sip of tea!"

When he said that, everyone was stunned: What is "a source of holy learning" and "Tangmu's tongue-tied"?Fu Heng covered his mouth and laughed, and said, "You're making a fool of yourself again. You must have pronounced 'Yuanyuan' as 'Yuanquan', and 'gazing' was mistaken for 'Tangmu tongue'!" Qianlong thought it was right, tsk smiled.Everyone roared with laughter.The dull atmosphere of mourning for many days was swept away. "You, Li Wei, still don't read!" Qianlong swallowed his breath with a smile, "I heard that you are still swearing at others?" Li Wei blushed and said coyly: "You also read a little, not much; Some changes have been made, but not all of them have been changed." Fu Heng jokingly said: "Forget it, you! Now who is scolding, who is promoted. Last time I went to Shandong, one of your Goshha greeted me and smiled. Said he was going to be promoted soon. I said how did you know, and he said, 'Our Li Zhitai scolded me yesterday as a "thief girl, fuck me well"!' Aren’t you making progress?" The voice fell into laughter. everyone.

So everyone began to taste the tea, and they felt that it was fragrant and refreshing. Every time they sipped a little, they felt the fragrance in their mouths, which was quite different from the usual brewed tea. "Tea is the gentleman in the water, and wine is the villain in the water." Qianlong sipped tea and glanced at everyone, everyone stopped joking immediately, and heard him say: "I am naturally fond of tea and not wine. I also advise all the ministers here to pay attention." "But a gentleman can only be close to a gentleman and stay away from a villain. You can't kill all the villains, and you can't smash up the winery. Because 'you can't raise a gentleman if you are not a villain'! Li Bai will be gone if he has no wine Poetry." Qianlong said, holding a cup in one hand and a fan in the other, got up and paced, looked out the window and said, "Confucius said that the way of the mean is the ultimate virtue. The more you chew, the more meaningful it becomes. Governing the world is also a principle, You have to work hard to get it right. For example, the holy grandfather has been in power for sixty-one years, and he has been benevolent and generous, and he has recuperated. In his old age, he really came to the state of being governed by benevolence, and the people are peaceful." Speaking of this, he He nodded meaningfully to everyone. This is an extremely important speech, and all the people straightened up and listened quietly.Qianlong smiled, and said: "Emperor Daxing came to the throne and succeeded to the throne. He saw that people's hearts were negligent, and everything was neglected. Misunderstood that the Sacred Heart lies in strictness, so he paved his official career along this line of thought. He would rather be strict than lenient in everything, and would rather be tight than loose. The dog jumps. The barren land cultivated, even the seeds can’t be recovered, and they beat their swollen faces to pretend to be fat. The hungry people in Henan have flocked to Li Wei’s place to beg for food, and the auspicious harvest is still being reported here! I’m not saying that Tian Wenjing is useless, this man is still He can be regarded as an honest official, but he is indeed a cruel official, and his tyrannical government is extremely bad!" His eyes flashed like sparks, and then went out in an instant.Everyone knows that in the second year of Yongzheng, Qianlong went to Henan for a private visit, and came back to report to Yongzheng that Tian Wenjing harshly inspected the "beautiful gentleman" and was severely reprimanded by Yongzheng. Now that it has been eleven years later, the case is about to be overturned. Qianlong said again in a daze: "So To take the mean, if you are lenient, you will help it with fierceness, and if you are fierce, you will correct it with leniency.Now the situation is too fierce.Clearing up the deficit, how many officials were forced to throw themselves into the river and hang themselves, and they were dispatched to the army, just like Jiang Ning weaving the Cao family, following the ancestors from the dragon to enter the pass, and following the holy ancestors to protect them, what kind of credit is that?With a single copy, the copy was inexplicable, and the copy was exhausted. I just can't figure out how these officials below are able to do it! "It didn't matter what the others heard. Li Wei tensed up when he heard this. Cao's house was seized, and he served as the governor of Liangjiang in Nanjing. Zhang Tingyu also shrank. He drafted the order for the seizure. "I don't want to hold anyone accountable. Today is the way of leniency and fierceness." Qianlong smiled, "In terms of today's situation, if you want to have a smooth government and create a prosperous world, you must use leniency to correct violence. This is the same as Ama's previous The principle of fierce correction and leniency is the same, it is both hard and soft, combined with yin and yang, and adapting to the time and place. I take the law of the emperor as the law, and the heart of the emperor as the heart. Even if there are villains who make criticisms, I will not hesitate." After finishing this lengthy discussion on "The Way of Gentleness and Severity", everyone is still contemplating intently.Zhang Tingyu frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "The slave has been working in the study for more than thirty years. The two hardships are love, as long as you are not sick, you can be with the ancestors and emperors day and night. Look at your heart at midnight and speak according to your conscience. In my private heart, I often have the idea that the emperor is wide and the emperor is strict. I am only a courtier, and I am loyal to my duty. I try to do my best to my master's will, thinking that this is a virtuous prime minister. Today, the emperor Fan Hong's theory, starting from the way of Confucius, Mencius, benevolence and forgiveness, for example, the political program of the three dynasties, although there are only three words 'towards the mean', it is deafening and shocking. The emperor's sages have really reached the pinnacle." Everyone listened hurriedly They all agreed, but Hong Xiao had always been on good terms with Ertai, and said, "Mr.Inside Li Wei's boots was the papers of impeachment of Governor Yue Juncao of Shandong Province and the cover-up of his subordinate Liu Kang. He thought of Zhang Tingyu to write a few words here first, and then secretly wrote it to Chen. Hearing Qianlong's words, he just touched it. Boots, coughing dryly as if nothing happened. "I said here to relax, but for no reason, I talked about the way of governing the world." Qianlong said, "The cooler the tea, the more fragrant it is. If you don't believe me, try it." , It's really sweet and fragrant.Qianlong got up and said: "Let's have a quick talk between the monarch and his ministers. Now it's time for Shen Weishi, so it's time to serve tea to see off guests." Zhang Tingyu stood up and walked out with Qianlong, saying as he walked: "I am going to embellish the emperor's will today tonight, and the emperor will have a look at it tomorrow. If there is nothing to do, I will send it to all provinces by court mail, and announce it to the whole world." The most important government affairs at the moment are Miaojiang affairs. The analysis of the emperor's will in the Hall of Mental Cultivation yesterday was very clear. It wasn't that the Miao people had a large number of people and powerful firearms that defeated the official army. I was defeated without going into battle. Therefore, it is very appropriate to lock Zhang Xi, Ha Yuansheng, Dong Fang and other generals who have misled the country. However, only imperial envoys are sent, and the slaves are a little scrupulous, so they are not in a hurry to deal with the ticket." Qianlong paced, "Hmm" while listening.Stopped here and asked, "What are your concerns about withdrawing an incompetent imperial envoy and appointing another capable one?" Zhang Tingyu smiled and said, "Zhang Guangsi is a slave who knows very well that he has great ambitions and few talents, and has a strong heart. The military order will soon be cleared up against the Miao rebellion. The master is pressing an imperial envoy, not only can he not let go of the errand, but there is a mistake, and it is mutual evasion. Therefore, I think it is better not to appoint another imperial envoy." Then he walked slowly. "Okay. That's it." Qianlong said while ordering the guards to prepare their horses; "Since you have to do business tonight, I might as well give you a little more. Make a list of the officials who were forced to leave their posts due to the liquidation of deficits. They need to be screened one by one. For example, Yang Mingshi, who was wrongly imprisoned for building Erhai Lake in Yunnan, has been in a deficit for three years. There is also Shi Yizhi, who not only needs to be released, but also needs to be reused. If you think about who else, they will all be released. But what I mean by "lenient" is not lenient and useless. The purpose of the first emperor to clean up the deficit and punish the ink officials is not wrong. Losing it in the "lenient" is not in line with the golden mean." Xiao, Fu Heng and others were sent to Donghuamen to enter the palace.Here Li Wei also resigned and did not mention it. It was getting late at this time, and the sky did not know when it was overcast.Qianlong, who had been exhausted for a day, was still in good spirits. He entered Da Nei and got off Chengyu.He only asked Chengyu to follow, and walked to Xukun Palace to meet the queen.Since Yongzheng's death, he and Empress Fuchashi lived separately for mourning. They hardly saw each other, and he really missed her.When we passed the Chengqian Palace, it was already dark, and there was a drizzle in the twilight, and the palace people were putting on the palace lanterns.As Qianlong was walking, suddenly the sound of a qin came over with the cool wind, and it seemed that there was a woman singing along with the sound of the qin.He loved listening to the sound of the piano so much that he wandered around and listened quietly before falling down in Xiamen.But seeing Qin Meimei, the little eunuch from the Hall of Mental Cultivation coming along Yongxiang, she asked, "What's the matter?" "Oh, it's Master!" Qin Meimei was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted Qian'er, "Just now, the master called someone to come over to ask if the master is back, and it happened that there was a message from Donghua Gate that the master had already come in. The slave is specially here Looking for the master. The master and the lady said that they are waiting for the Lord Long Live to go with the Queen Mother Lafayette." Qianlong casually agreed that he understood, pointed to the palace gate and asked: "Which concubine lives here?" Qin Meimei replied Said: "It was Jinxia who was waiting in front of the late emperor in the study, and later became the 'permanent'... Master forgot, the year before last—" Qianlong waved his hand to stop him before he finished speaking, and said, "You go Pass the decree, tell Cheng Yu to withdraw, tell Gao Wuyong to go back to the Empress, and ask her to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, and I will go there in a while." Hearing that it was Jinxia, ​​Qianlong's heart skipped a beat.How could he forget?The winter before last year, Yongzheng fell ill and recuperated in the study. Qianlong personally went out to ask Yongzheng to decoct the medicine. He lost his mind to see Jinxia's needlework, and the medicine was about to overflow. A full heart - except for Yongzheng, everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation takes it as a joke.Thinking of Jinxia's coquettish look and affectionate look when she looked at her, she couldn't stop wanting to laugh...Qianlong's heart felt hot, he stepped into the building, but stopped again: "Alas... Son of Heaven..." His eyes dimmed, just at this time the westerly wind swept the rain, and heard the sound of the zither, Jinxia chanted in a low voice: At first sight and the end of the world, the sorrow of parting and hatred is doubled.I'm afraid that Dongfeng will stop Meng and hide it from him.invade Xiao stole home with Yan.Recalling the small window screens, the precious mantle is heavy and the jade seal is inclined.month is boring Sleep and be colder.The door is covered with red pears and a tree of flowers... Qianlong couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked into the courtyard.Qianlong followed the sound of the zither into the west side hall, and saw Jinxia sitting in front of the lamp, playing the zither slickly.Her handsome melon-seeded face, her full-bodied upper body swaying slightly with the movement of her slender fingers, makes her ecstatic to see the beauty under the lamp.At this time, Qianlong was burning with desire, so he tiptoed behind her, and suddenly embraced her with both hands, holding her in his arms. Jinxia was startled, at first she turned her head and looked back, but Qianlong's head was tightly attached to her back, no matter how she turned her neck, she couldn't see her head and face, but she grabbed Qianlong's braid with one hand, she couldn't help being surprised , when he was struggling, he was bound like an iron hoop, and he couldn't get rid of it. He said in a low voice and sternly: "You little guard! Are you going to die? If you don't get out, I will yell out loudly, I can't see if you will be stripped Skin!" Qianlong stretched out one hand to his chest, and the other was about to insert his lower body into the small clothes, and he mumbled: "My dear, you are so cute..." Jinxia was really anxious, and she scratched with her nails with her backhand.When Qianlong flashed, there were bleeding marks on his cheeks, his hands loosened and moved aside, stroked his cheeks and said: "Your hands are so ruthless, you are grabbing me." "emperor!" Jin Xia was immediately dumbfounded.Qianlong saw that her face was pale and without a trace of blood, he smiled and stepped forward to comfort her: "It's because I didn't speak, I don't blame you, I think it scared you—" Just as he was about to move his hands and feet again, he heard the sound of the rain outside. Wuyong shouted from a distance: "Isn't that Qin Meimei? Lafayette asked the emperor to go up!" Qin Meimei replied: "The emperor is in this palace, I will go in right away." "That's it, I'm going." Qianlong was very disappointed, let go of Jinxia, ​​and walked out of the palace door reluctantly, before going out, he turned around and smiled: "It just corresponds to the phrase 'this time I have never really done it'—— - You wait for the letter!" Seeing Gao Wuyong and Qin Meimei looking in, Qianlong was so angry that he waved his hand and slapped each of them, and said: "What are you crying for?! Don't I have to pay my mother's peace? It's a thief. Yes, what a system!" When Qianlong rushed to the Palace of Compassion in the drizzle, Empress Fucha was kneeling on the edge of the Kang and beating the Empress Dowager's back, chatting casually.Seeing Qianlong coming in, all the maids and servants in the hall knelt down, and the queen also slowly got down from the kang to perform a squatting salute.At this time, it was late autumn and it was raining again. The Compassion Ning Palace even lit a fire for the fumigation cage. As soon as Qianlong entered the East Nuan Pavilion, he felt very hot. He hurriedly untied his oil coat to salute his mother, and said with a smile, "How is mother?" The Empress Dowager Niu Kulu laughed and said: "The emperor sit down quickly, I am discussing with the empress to fulfill my wish, and I am looking for you for this matter. I had a dream recently——why, look at your face flushed, I am afraid Did you catch a cold?" "My son is walking, and the room is hot." Qianlong smiled unnaturally, leaned over and said, "I don't know what kind of dream Lafayette had? It must be auspicious. Tell my son I'm happy too." The queen mother sipped tea and said, "I dreamed that I went to the Qingfan Temple with the emperor Daxing, and when I was offering incense, someone beside me said, 'You are a blessed person, even the old ancestor Xiaozhuang, the empress dowager, is not as good as you. Since you have taken refuge in my Buddha, why don’t you give up some good fortune? Look at the gold covering on the Buddha’s body has peeled off.’ For some reason, I replied, ‘Yongzheng Lord is the Bodhi of Buddhism. Why don’t you ask him?’ That man Said, 'If he fails, I want you.' When I looked back, the man was gone, and Lord Yongzheng didn't know where to go!" The queen mother said, wiping her tears, "What's wrong with the old man, he didn't say a word, really heartless!" "This dream is an auspicious dream," Qianlong said with a quick smile. "The "Book of Dream Interpretation" says that 'everyone encounters a dream of the Dalang Temple, it is auspicious'. The ancestor of Xiaozhuang lived to seventy-four, and you must live to be one hundred years old! As for the Buddha I will ask them to do it." The Empress Dowager sighed: "I entered the palace on the fifteenth day and followed you Aixinjueluo family for forty-three years. All the big dangers and dangers have been seen, and all the riches and honors are gone. Enjoy it, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? I know you don’t believe in Buddhism, so I pray for you more devoutly. Since you are willing to adorn the Buddha with gold, you can even repair the Buddhist Temple at the Mountain Gate and send the old man Zigong to the Qingfan Temple I saw that the temple characters are old. Do we have to wait for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to figure it out before we do good?" Qianlong hurriedly said: "This is not a big deal, mother just rest assured. After repairing the Qingfan Temple, go and fulfill your vows, and see that it is not satisfactory there. Son, just follow suit." As she turned to pick up the tea, the Queen exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with your cheeks? There's a bunch of blood spots?" Qianlong quickly covered it up and said, "I went to the garden of Zhang Tingyu's house today. Gou Tengzhi scratched it, why are you making such a fuss?" "What's the matter? Let me see." The queen mother moved her body to get off the kang, put on reading glasses and took a closer look, shook her head and said, "It's definitely not. It looks like someone has been arrested-don't worry, there are also people here." A bloodstain! What happened?" She no longer had a smile on her face, "Is there such a crime in this palace?" Qianlong was so embarrassed and at a loss in front of the empress dowager and empress in full view. , seeing that the further distinction would only make the description more and more ugly, she said eagerly: "It's Jinxia who is rude..." The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and sat back in her original position, her face turned livid, before she said after a while: "So it was her ! It must be because she didn’t get into the concubine’s seat, she pestered the emperor, and the emperor refused to agree, so she was so unrestrained—but what?”
