Wu Shulai went to the warehouse to collect the things, and did not dare to delay any delay and sent them to Yongdian and Keshan Courtyard one after another.
Seeing the boxes of precious medicinal materials and supplements carried in by the palace people, the prince's expression was calm, and smiled at Wu Shulai, bowed and said, "I have a good father-in-law, thanked the emperor for his kindness."
Wu Shulai waved his hand quickly, avoiding his greeting, took an exquisite small box from the little eunuch behind him, and held it to the prince with both hands, and said with a smile: "Of course. The things in the box are specially explained by the emperor and are given to the prince for daily enjoyment. Otherwise, please open it now and see if you are satisfied. If you are satisfied, you can give me a message, and the servant can go back and report to the emperor."
The things that the emperor rewarded could not be opened and tested immediately, but Wu Shulai deliberately kept a careful eye, thinking that if the emperor asked, he would have an explanation, so he asked the prince in this way.
The prince grew up abroad since childhood. The etiquette there was to open it in public when he received a gift and to express his joy in time. After hearing Wu Shulai's words, he did not recall the taste for it. After nodding slightly, he simply lifted the lid of the box.
He originally thought that no matter what Qianlong gave him, no matter whether he liked him or not, he would pretend to be liked very much in front of Wu Shu. Unexpectedly, when he saw the things in the box clearly, he was stunned, with only a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes wide open, and his eyes were burning.
Wu Shu looked at the prince carefully and took out the book in the box, rubbed it carefully, looked through it carefully, narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, did not smile, and did not speak, and felt a little nervous. What was this reaction? Didn't be flattered? Isn't excited? What should I say when I go back?
Just when Wu Shu was unsure of his mind, the prince spoke, "Is this Yan Zhenqing's "Huzhou Tie"? The original one?" His vision was not wrong, it was indeed the original one. However, most of the original ones of Yan Zhenqing have been lost. This book, not to mention modern times, even in the Qing Dynasty, was priceless. In his memory, Mi Fu's copy was only precious enough to make the Palace Museum valuable collection.
Now, the prince was really in front of him, and he couldn't believe his eyes and needed someone to confirm it urgently.
When Wu Shulai heard the prince’s inquiry, he nodded quickly, "Return to the prince, this is what the emperor has worked hard and spent a lot of manpower to find. It must be the original work."
When the prince heard this, he lowered his eyes and nodded, stared at the thin letter in his hand. He couldn't bear to look away for a long time. After a while, he seemed to remember that there was a large manager standing in the room waiting for him to reply. Then he raised his eyes and smiled brightly, "The gift is very precious, I like it very much, thank the emperor for his kindness."
There are no long and full of gratitude words, nor are there any compliments from Chunpa Lizao. Just a few simple sentences and a sincere smile are enough for Wu Shu to understand the prince's joy. For the prince, who has always had a faint expression and even a very cold smile, it is really rare to show his teeth to let him feel the feeling of spring breeze!
Wu Shulai was satisfied and bowed respectfully and said he left.

In the Yangxin Palace, Qianlong had not yet rested, and he was reading a book in his hand, but the page was not turned around for a long time. Hearing a light footstep sound from outside the hall, he threw the book casually, straightened his body and looked at the door of the hall, with a few traces of urgency hidden in his eyes.
When he saw that it was Wu Shu who came back from the job, he slowly leaned back again, struggled for a while after pursing his lips, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is the thing still in line with their wishes?"
Although they were asked, Wu Shulai could naturally understand the profound meaning, and the rewards in the previous ones were exactly the same. However, when the prince got a priceless book, it was not difficult to see who the Emperor Long lived in. He secretly lamented that he was indeed as expected and worthy of being the number one general in the inner court, he hurriedly bowed forward and replied.
"When you go back to the emperor, everything is very consistent with the wishes of the 12th Prince and Prince Keshan. They asked the servants to thank the emperor for their kindness." At this point, Wu Shu stopped and looked at Qianlong's expression. Sure enough, he saw that he stared at him with dark eyes, and seemed to have dissatisfaction on his face. He quickly lowered his eyes and continued to reply, "Especially Prince Keshan, I like the book you gave him very much. I immediately opened it and enjoyed it. His smile was like a flower!"
Finally, Wu Shu came to make up for the interesting prince's words and indirectly flattered Qianlong.
"Well," Qianlong nodded calmly, and tried his best to purse the corner of his mouth that he wanted to raise high, and then waved his hand to send everyone in the hall, "I am tired, I want to be alone, you all retreat."
The palace people responded and came out one after another.
When Wu Shu came to pull up the door of the palace and blocked the eyes of the outside world, Qianlong couldn't help but smile, rubbed his jaw and pondered: "Like a flower"? What's that? The emperor repeatedly outlined the elegant face of the prince in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion: No matter what it looked like, it would be extremely pleasing to the eye! Then he thought that he had never seen such a smile, so he asked a slave to look at it first, and he was angry and regretful, thinking that he should not be restricted by his identity and wait in the Yangxin Palace, and he should go and see it in person.
But no matter how much regret it, this gift was given right, and Keshan liked it very much. Then the next step should be to re-establish his tall image of being wise and powerful in Keshan's heart, diligent and loving the people. In the Palace of Peaceful Heart, it is incredible that a generation of emperors took such pains to please someone, but he himself did not know that he should say that the emperor is indeed all incompetent people?

The fifth prince of the invisible prince was deposed and was banned from Beizi's mansion. His companion was sent to Tibet for marriage. The personal bodyguard was scolded by the emperor for a hundred times. Now he is still half dead. This is no longer news. The emperor intends to re-train the princes and choose one of them to be crown prince. This is the huge news recently. This news first came from the study room.
This statement is not groundless. Qianlong has been visiting the study room very frequently recently. He basically came here every two or three days, and as soon as he came, he took turns to take the exams to accompany the princes to read their homework, which made Ji Xiaolan privately suspicious. Seeing that the princes looked at the eyes of the princes, he guessed who would be the future crown prince.
In fact, Qianlong's mind was very simple. He felt uneasy after not seeing Keshan for a few days, and his heart was irritated. When he was idle, he would unconsciously move his steps up the study room, and he could not control it himself. When he came, he could not directly say to everyone: You read your books, and I would leave with my eyes. This practice was too incredible, and he could not accept it himself. He was confused and puzzled in his heart. He could only suppress it and pretended to be a special school exam.
Qianlong was worried about the prince every day, and he had to take a chance to see him. As the prince involved, he was ignorant and thought that Qianlong was indeed very diligent in the early days of his reign, and was even more strict in his teachings to the princes, and was a good emperor.
On this day, as usual, Qianlong took a group of people to the study after handling government affairs. His expression on his face was not as leisurely as before, and his slightly locked brow revealed his boredom at this moment.
Stepping into the door and facing the crowd's request, he sat steadily on the main seat, then raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and his eyes habitually searched for Keshan's figure first. Seeing that he stood between the crowd with a plain face, the corner of his mouth was still the usual light smile, distant and quiet. Just looking at it, the boredom in his heart gradually faded and then dissipated.
Qianlong withdrew his gaze and raised his lips slightly invisible. Although he was puzzled why every time he saw Keshan, his mood improved a little and his heartbeat became a little faster, but he didn't want to explore. This little thing was enough by his side.
"I won't take the school homework today, but I will take the school government affairs. You can speak freely. I will not blame you." Qianlong said in a deep voice with a stern face.
There was a rumor in the palace that he intended to re-cultivate the princes and choose their heirs, which is indeed true. Therefore, he deliberately increased the princes' learning of government affairs and contact with real politics. Today, he came to explore the qualifications of the princes.
After hearing Qianlong's words, he secretly looked at his serious expression. The princes did not dare to neglect them. They agreed in unison and mobilized their brains at high speed, just waiting for the emperor to ask questions.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Qianlong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today I have received a report that Jinchuan and Jinchuan will start another war. A few days ago, our army and the thief were in a stalemate, and the money, grain and troops were not allowed to continue. The losses are getting worse. Is it a war or retreat?"
After Qianlong finished speaking, he glanced at everyone solemnly, pointed his finger at the fourth prince Yonga and said, "Yonga comes first."
Yonga took a step forward and bowed to report: "Returning to the emperor, Ama, my son advocated Huairou as the main and attacked by force as the auxiliary. First, send envoys to recruit the ambulance. If the ambulance fails, then send reinforcements to attack. If Langka is tempted by interests, he will avoid our dynasty from losing its military strength. If he is unwilling to surrender, he will also give our army a breathing time."
This answer is thoughtful and is also a common practice of the imperial court to suppress bandits. Many of the people who were listening nodded in agreement. Ji Xiaolan smiled and touched his beard. Qianlong had no expression on his face, lowered his eyebrows, and raised his hand to signal him to retreat.
Ke Shan listened to Yong'a's opinion, and after listening, the corner of his mouth cursed slightly, implicitly ridiculed.
Langka is entrenched in Jinchuan, and has his own troops. It is definitely not an ordinary bandit crisis. How can he be resolutely recruited? This is undoubtedly a disaster for letting the tiger go back to the mountain and raising the tiger. Not to mention that he knows history and knows Qianlong’s true intention for this battle, even if he doesn’t know, he will never advocate the stupid method of the Fourth Prince. The dignified Heavenly Dynasty was provoked by several clowns and did not suppress the other party and kill him to ashes. How can I exaggerate my power?
Thinking of this, the prince frowned, and a few sharp streaks quietly floated into his eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and looked in the direction of Yongd worriedly. Seeing Yongd buried his head and thought hard, as if there was no conclusion yet. He left his head and stopped looking. If he wanted the eagle to learn how to fly, he should let go of the ring guard's hand first. He understood this principle.
After the fourth prince finished speaking, the sixth prince, the eighth prince, and the eleventh prince successively came out to explain their views. Some discussed the fourth prince, some changed the fourth prince's statement, and some blushed and undecided. Qianlong heard it one by one, all nodded expressionlessly and waved back without making many comments, which made the person who was not yet speaking even more nervous and kept thinking about the emperor's thoughts.
It was finally Yongd's turn to speak. Yongd's face turned red and he glanced at the prince. Seeing that the prince was looking away, he had no idea of his sight. He could only step forward with a sharp bullet and bit his lips and said in a muffled voice: "Son thought that this battle should be fought!" After saying that, his head was buried deeply and almost hit his chest.
It's that simple? After waiting for a while, seeing Yongd didn't have any further information. Qianlong twitched his lips, stroked his thin lips, concealed his unscrupulous expression, and asked, "Oh? Why should I hit me?"
Yongd looked up, glanced at his emperor Ama timidly, and then quickly lowered his head, "Langka wanted to monopolize Jinchuan, that was a rebellion, and the thief should be beaten!"
Ji Xiaolan lowered her head, covered her mouth and held back her laughter, thinking to herself: This twelfth prince is really a wonderful person. He seems to be stupid, but he can see the essence of things best and find the simplest and most direct solution. But this eloquence needs to be improved urgently!
Obviously, Qianlong was also thinking the same as Ji Xiaolan. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, the coldness in his eyes became softer, and he waved his hand and said warmly: "Well, go down."
Yongd quickly stepped back, stood still and took a deep breath, and naturally looked at the prince. Seeing that the prince smiled at him and nodded slightly. It seemed that he was secretly praising his good performance. He unconsciously opened his mouth and returned a brighter smile.
Qianlong saw the interaction between the two, and glanced at Keshan's rare sincere smile. His heart was hit hard, and his inexplicable throbbing mixed with strong dissatisfaction came to his heart. Why did he never show such a real expression to me?! He clenched his fists vigorously, controlling the urge to walk forward and isolate the two of them into sight, and his lips became tighter and tighter.
Feeling the change in the emperor's aura, Ji Xiaolan looked at him in confusion. The twelfth prince's answer should be the one that suits the emperor's wishes. Why do you feel that the emperor seems to be even more angry?
Receiving Ji Xiaolan's questioning eyes, Qianlong lowered his eyes to adjust his emotions. After a while, he spoke in a slightly stiff tone, "Keshan, tell me what you think."
The emperor looked at the ignorant prince with a dark and unclear eyes. Until the prince took a step forward and looked at him, his eyes only contained his figure, and only smiled at him. The surging desire and dissatisfaction in his heart gradually subsided.
