On November 11, the 49th year of the Kangxi era, Kangxi led the crown prince and Prince Yong of the Heshuo clan to hunt at the Mulan Paddock. There, Prince Yong encountered Li Jiashi, who later gave birth to Prince Yong's fourth son, Hongli, at the Mulan Paddock. In the 59th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi faced danger while hunting, and the young Hongli saved him from peril. Hongli's witty response to a couplet won Kangxi's favor. After Hongli ascended the throne, he changed the era name to Qianlong. During his reign, he established the Siku Quanshu Pavilion and compiled the Siku Quanshu. The chief editor, Ji Xiaolan, was caught without clothes in his study due to the heat when Qianlong visited, so he had to hide under the table. However, Qianlong called him out, and fortunately, with a clever explanation of "old man," Qianlong allowed him to work without clothing. Liu Yong presented himself to Qianlong to vie for the title “Luo Guo,” which could increase his salary by over 20,000 taels per year. Qianlong was reluctant and secretly ordered people to set difficult questions, but Liu Yong managed to resolve each one. In the end, Qianlong had Liu Yong jump into an ice hole. After receiving the order, Liu Yong stood by the ice hole for a long time before entering, and upon meeting Qianlong, he said he encountered Qu Yuan and questioned Qianlong if he was a tyrannical ruler who drove his ministers to death. Qianlong had no choice but to let him go. In the 16th year of Qianlong's reign, during a southern inspection with the Empress Dowager to Yangzhou, Qianlong disguised himself as a merchant, leaving his guards behind to go incognito. At the famous Yile Garden teahouse in Yangzhou, known for serving meat tea, Qianlong encountered a teahouse that only sold water. With the help of the talkative waiter, he learned that the teahouses in Yangzhou that served meat tea sold various snacks and alcoholic beverages, but no tea leaves. Qianlong had no choice but to go to the teahouse across the street to buy tea leaves. The waiter vividly introduced Qianlong to the local saying, “When one reaches old age in Yangzhou, the boat reaches Guazhou small,” explaining that the polite people of Yangzhou called him "Old Master," while in Guangzhou, everyone referred to people as “Lao.” This turned out to be an amusing lesson in local customs. While tasting the delicacies, Qianlong偶尔 saw a young man holding a "Spring and Autumn" by a vegetable stall, and learned from the waiter that the young man's name was Zhou Riqing, whose uncle was a Hanlin Academician. However, due to his integrity, he lived in poverty after retiring and only told Zhou Riqing to sell vegetables for a living. Just then, two officials came to demand money, but Zhou Riqing could not pay. The waiter revealed that it was Ye Hongyun in Yangzhou who falsely claimed to issue a decree for neighborhood donations, demanding money from all businesses. While they were talking, the two officials downstairs began to beat Zhou Riqing when they did not receive money. Zhou Riqing, forced to defend himself, resulted in Qianlong being attacked by numerous officials drinking tea in the teahouse for cheering him on. After they defeated many officials, when they went to have tea, they found that the previously bustling place had turned into a deserted street, with merchants and common people closing their doors and windows tightly to protect themselves. Helpless, Qianlong had to sit down in the middle of the street to rest. At this moment, Ye Hongyun led the officials to arrest Qianlong but was intimidated by Qianlong's presence. The arriving E Rong'an confirmed Qianlong's identity. The waiter, who had previously insulted Qianlong during their conversation, learned that the polite guest was Qianlong, and, in despair, attempted to hang himself but was saved by Qianlong's command at the critical moment. Afterwards, Zhou Riqing was promoted to lead Qianlong's horse, and the waiter was appointed as an official by Qianlong. Corrupt officials like Ye Hongyun were punished.
