I'm Not a Playboy
Chapter 15
Wei Yingluo thought about it until her head hurt, but she couldn't figure it out. But she had a general direction. She would secretly investigate it in the future …
Fu Heng saw that Yingluo had fallen asleep, so he ordered a maid to take good care of her. He also went back to rest.
Qianlong's bragging was very effective. The Mongolian nobles and ministers looked at him from "I am the master" to "you are my father".
Those who wanted to ask Qianlong for some benefits all closed their mouths. Only the old man came over to Yonglian.
In short, don't be too quiet.
"Yonglian, do you see? Strength overwhelms everything.
There's no need for any nonsense. They've already made their own arrangements. "
Seeing is believing. Yonglian nodded to show that he understood.
After returning to the capital, the Empress remembered about raising cats.
She immediately asked the eunuch in the cat and dog room to bring over a few weaned kittens for her to choose from.
There were black, white, and flowers.
Seeing that the Empress chose the ugliest tortoiseshell cat, Ming Yu was puzzled.
Yingluo also felt that the cat the Empress left behind was too ugly. The two white cats from before had mandarin duck eyes. How beautiful …
"You don't know. If I don't keep this little guy, I'm afraid that it will soon be sent away by the eunuch in the cat and dog room because of its unconventional appearance. No one will claim it and have to feed it."
'Send him away' meant that he was going to be executed …
The Empress was kind and couldn't bear to let the innocent little guy die. Ming Yu understood and nodded. Yingluo asked the Empress to give the cat a name.
"I am really not good at naming things. When The Emperor comes, let The Emperor name it."
This cat might really be intelligent. After circling around the room, it returned to the Empress' arms. It curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
Qianlong went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility after the court session. Seeing the Empress holding a cat in her arms, he felt that it was fresh and wanted to hug it.
However, Master Cat did not give any face. Before Qianlong could catch him, he jumped from the Empress' arms to the ground, stretched, and ran away.
"This little fellow really doesn't even give me face."
"I heard from the slaves in the cat and dog room that the kittens are lively and playful now. When they grow up, they will be lazy. Maybe they will lie down in some sunny place to sleep."
Qianlong secretly thought that he should also raise a little thing, or a black cat.
Hearing that the Empress wanted him to name the cat, he pondered for a long time and said, "How about Peach Blossom?"
'Peach' and 'escape' have the same pronunciation. Another little female cat …
"Then let's call it Peach Blossom."
The Empress felt that the name was not bad, so she asked Ming Yu and Yingluo to inform the others in Qiankun Palace.
After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Qianlong had someone bring a little black cat over.
Looking at the cat that was as black as a piece of coal, Qianlong emitted a sound.
"It's so black. Let's call it Tanhua. It matches Yung Yin's name. The contrast is cute.
Hmm … My cat also needs an official title. Let's call it a guard … "
On the 23rd of August, it was the anniversary of the previous Emperor's death. Qianlong purposely went to Hall of Immortals to stay for most of the day. At night, he rested in Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Other than expressing his respect for the Fourth Master, he also wanted the Fourth Master to praise him.
In the end, what he said came …
The Fourth Master, who could not keep the coffin lid down, really came to find Qianlong.
Of course, praising him was impossible.
The Fourth Master immediately pressed down on Qianlong. Qianlong could only watch as the Fourth Master sat cross-legged on him. No matter how much he shouted, he could not make a sound.
"Who the hell are you, occupying my son's body!"
"You've got guts. First, you let Tenth Master out to sea, then you crowned Fourteenth Master as King. You even dare to hold a bet on the autumn horse!
How much money in the national treasury is not enough for you to spend? "
Qianlong had a stomach full of grievances but could not say anything. He could only look at the Fourth Master pitifully.
The Fourth Master also noticed this awkward situation. He snorted coldly and floated from Qianlong's body into the air. He turned into a white light and entered Qianlong's mind.
It was better to say it in the dream.
Originally, he was living a good life. When he woke up, he had transmigrated. Qianlong was also very depressed. Unfortunately, he could not tell anyone about this.
Now that the Fourth Master was here, Qianlong immediately opened the floodgates to vent his grievances.
"Oh my, Fourth Master, you don't know how much the original owner of this body went overboard. Right after you breathed your last, you made Madam Gao an Imperial Concubine. She only mourned for twenty-seven days. She deserved to be smashed …"
Seeing that Qianlong had sincerely mourned for him for three years, the Fourth Master felt that this child Qianlong was not a treacherous person.
On the contrary, looking at his methodical plans, he was really a talented person.
"Fourth Master, you flatter me. I … I just stood on the shoulders of history and knew what happened later. I just planned ahead …"
When the history was mentioned, the Fourth Master's interest was piqued.
Qianlong was a liberal arts student in his previous life. He told the Fourth Master about the comparison between the past and the present, and the collision between the east and the west.
When he talked about the Old Summer Palace, Qianlong could not continue.
The Fourth Master saw that Qianlong's mood suddenly became very low and could roughly guess what had happened.
Maybe it was not only destroyed by the foreigners, but also by their own people …
"So you'd rather stay in the palace than move into the Old Summer Palace?"
Qianlong nodded.
"You did very well. You did better than me and Empress Ama."
He lived in fear every day, afraid that something terrible would happen.
Now that he had been acknowledged by the Fourth Master, Qianlong was so excited that he was about to cry.
He was about to cry after just a few words of praise. An emperor could not be like this.
Qianlong sniffed and asked the Fourth Master vaguely if he was still going to leave.
"If you're not afraid of me, I'd really like to stay here and see how you can rule the Qing dynasty."
The Fourth Master calmly said that Qianlong's black cat was very intelligent. He could possess the black cat during the day.
Uh … he was about to be overseen by the Fourth Master. Qianlong's little heart trembled violently …
When Qianlong went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility for breakfast in the morning, the Empress keenly noticed that Qianlong's eyes were a little red and swollen. She immediately asked Yingluo to go to the small kitchen to get two boiled eggs.
"I dreamed of Empress Ama last night. Empress Ama actually praised me …"
When the Empress heard the first half of the sentence, she thought that the former Emperor had scolded The Emperor.
She did not expect that he could cry after being praised. Were these tears of excitement?
The Emperor, just how unconfident are you …
"You have been conscientious all these years and have governed the Qing dynasty well. The former Emperor saw it and of course had to praise you."
Qianlong glanced at the third place who was licking his paws in Li Yu's arms. He silently let the Empress press a freshly peeled egg to his eyes.
Seeing the peach blossom put on the little clothes made by the Empress, Qianlong let Li Yu arrange for a guard uniform to be made for the third place.
While Qianlong was reading memorials, the third place who was possessed by the Fourth Master was also reading memorials on the imperial desk.
It was not a big deal, so the Fourth Master did not read them.
Knowing that the Fourth Master was bored, Qianlong immediately let Li Yu take the third place to walk around the palace.
If the Fourth Master felt that Qianlong was not handling things well, he would visit Qianlong in his dreams at night to discuss what to do better …
Time slowly came to the end of the year.
There was a famine in Gansu. Qianlong did not want to hold a grand 50th birthday for the Empress Dowager at all.
The third place meowed and pushed the memorials requesting a grand celebration to the Empress Dowager's birthday to the ground.
Qianlong immediately understood and gave the third place a thumbs up.
"Meow ~"
