I'm Not a Playboy

Chapter 11

Because of Consort Xian's pleading, Na Li only suffered superficial wounds even though he looked miserable from the beating. His muscles and bones were not damaged at all.

In addition, the imperial physicians applied medicine in time. He would be fine after lying in bed for a month.

Unlike E Shan, who took bribes, he was punished by Qianlong with three thousand lashes.

It was said that he was about to die after being whipped for less than two hundred times, but he was immediately saved by the imperial physicians.

Even if he almost died, he couldn't escape the remaining lashes.

After he recovered, he would be tortured. After he was tortured to death, The Emperor would send an imperial physician to treat him. After he recovered, he would be tortured again …

He would be exiled when the beating was over.

As for the confiscation of property, Qianlong didn't let people take advantage of every opportunity like he did with the Gao family. He didn't even let go of a spittoon.

Huifa Nara's womenfolk's dowry was preserved under Qianlong's mercy.

Even though they couldn't willfully live a life of luxury, at least they could live a stable life.

Qianlong picked out some things that looked good and didn't have the Huifa Nara's mark. He kept them in his private storage as a reward for the ministers. The rest were given to Consort Xian.

Consort Xian could do whatever she wanted with it. Qianlong didn't care about it.

Even though he didn't care how Consort Xian dealt with Huifa Nara's property, Qianlong would still ask about Consort Xian's actions.

"Raising a dog?

Hmm … That's good. It saves her from being lonely in Chengqian Palace. "

This time, Gao Ningxin didn't raise a dog. It was Consort Xian instead.

He heard that it was a long-haired dog. Was she waiting to cut the dog's fur in the future?

Qianlong couldn't help but think about it in the wrong direction.

"Consort Xian also made a pair of shoes for The Emperor and asked me to give it to you."

In the summer, Qianlong did not wear boots except to attend court. He only wore cloth shoes.

In the beginning, one concubine would make a pair of shoes today, and the next day, another concubine would get a pair of insoles. The day after that, someone would give her a pair of socks that were said to be breathable and sweat absorbent …

Later on, Qianlong forbade the concubines from doing these little tricks.

Firstly, doing these things meant that they were fighting for favor. Secondly, they were not embroiderers. It was fine if the things they made were ugly, but it would be uncomfortable to wear.

He only allowed the Empress to make two sets of undergarments for him every season.

The fabrics were all cut and sewed together by the Empress.

The thicker and denser stitches were all the Empress's favorites. Even if some parts were uncomfortable, Qianlong still wore them happily.

"Sigh … Consort Xian is so thoughtful.

I just don't know if Huifa Nara's family still has a heart. Don't stick to him like a leech even though we've already cut off all ties. "

Consort Xian's mother was already ashamed when she received a portion of the family property. She felt that she had no face to enter the palace to see her daughter again.

Na Li was the main culprit who caused Huifa Nara's family to become like this. It was good enough that he was allowed to stay at home.

He also knew that he had made a big mistake, so he tried his best to eliminate his presence at home.

When Qianlong learned that Huifa Nara's family had returned to Shengjing, he pointed out a path for Na Li.

Let's farm.

This farming was not something that Qianlong wanted to mock Huifa Nara's family. It was a high-yield food that Qianlong had secretly researched in Shengjing when he first ascended the throne.

This land was about to usher in a period of rapid population growth. If there was not enough food to eat, there would be a big mess.

At that time, he would not be able to say things like why not eat minced meat.

When Na Li arrived in Shengjing and saw Qianlong's orderly division of the experimental fields for comparison, he immediately threw himself into it …

On a summer night, Qianlong asked Li Yu to move the rocking chair out to the courtyard. He smelled the jasmine flowers and looked at the stars in the sky.

The Empress sighed as she counted. Qianlong was a little surprised and asked what happened to her mouth.

"This …"

She had already prepared an excuse, but when the Empress and Qianlong looked at each other, she could not say it.

The Emperor trusted her so much. How could she deceive The Emperor?

It was better to tell the truth …

"Empress Niang told this concubine to remind His Majesty to rest with the other concubines … Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there hasn't been any good news from the inner palace … Empress Niang told this concubine to take care of Your Majesty's health …"

Qianlong forked a piece of iced watermelon with the seeds removed and put it into his mouth. He did not move much.

"I am not sick!

I am fine … If I want to have a baby, it will be with you, Yung Yin. No one else can think about it.

But it is said that women who have children are usually walking through the gates of hell. I am reluctant to let Yung Yin suffer again. "

The Empress touched her lower abdomen. She was already thirty years old. Could she still have another baby?

Fortunately, she had a son and a daughter now. Her son had been conferred as the Crown Prince. Having another child would be icing on the cake. She would have no regrets if she did not have another child …

"In a few years, when Yonglian gets married and has a child, I will pass the throne to Yonglian. I will take Yung Yin and my grandson to the Old Summer Palace to retire … It will be much more comfortable than living in this palace."

The Emperor was only thirty years old and he was already thinking about retirement?

Feeling the night breeze, the Empress quickly fell asleep.

After the Empress slept soundly, Qianlong gently picked up the Empress and put her back into the room.

The next morning, Qianlong saw that Fu Heng's hand was wrapped in bandages and asked him how he got injured.

When he found out that Fu Heng accidentally knocked over the teacup and scalded himself, he hurriedly asked him to go to the Empress to apply some good burn ointment.

"I will mark it as a work injury. Go back and rest well."

"You should be married and yet you are still so careless. You even scalded yourself …" Empress Fu Cha said to Fu Heng, but her heart was very distressed.

Fu Heng saw that Yingluo was present and was too embarrassed to say how he got scalded.

Yingluo saw that Fu Heng's eyes were evasive and knew that Fu Heng was lying.

After Fu Heng went out, she chased after him and asked Fu Heng how he got scalded.

The kettle that Yingluo gave was snatched away by Helanca. In the process, he knocked over the kettle.

The water scalded his hand and the kettle fell to the ground and was broken.

"I … I'm sorry …"

Fu Heng was afraid that Yingluo would misunderstand him and quickly apologized.

"No need to apologize. If you can knock it over so easily, it means that there is a problem with the kettle I gave you. I will make another one for you another day … Does your hand still hurt?"

Ming Yu saw that Yingluo chased after him and smiled at the Empress. The Empress also smiled and waved her handkerchief to allow Ming Yu to join in the fun and eavesdrop.

When Ming Yu heard the three words "Helanca", she immediately held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

Knowing that Fu Heng was scalded when he was fooling around with Helanca, Ming Yu wanted to rush to Helanca's crotch and pinch Helanca's ear.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. When Ming Yu had time, she immediately went to Helanca and pinched Helanca's arm.

"How old are you and you still fight over things like a child.

What kind of kettle can make you want it so much?

If you want it, you can tell me.

Do you dislike me for being clumsy? "

Of course not.

It was the first time that Helanca encountered such a situation. He immediately swore to the heavens that if he disliked Ming Yu, he would be struck by lightning.

Ming Yu was both angry and amused. She said that Helanca was like a silly monkey.

Seeing that Ming Yu was no longer angry, Helanca breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, I will ask Yingluo how to do it later, so that you don't steal other people's kettle. It is so embarrassing …"

In the evening, Qianlong was free and peeled lychees to feed the Empress.

The Empress looked at the crystal clear lychees and thought of Ming Yu and Yingluo beside her.

"Hey, don't look at the surface of the lychees. They are sweet inside."

Qianlong immediately guessed what the Empress wanted to say.

"Let them say it themselves. Let's watch from the side."
