Hong Yu was born on an excellent day, on the second day of August, just after the ghost month.

Although An Lingrong didn't believe in the idea that a child born in Guiyue would defeat his father and his mother, it was best to avoid it, so as not to be caught in some conspiracy in the future.

The Old Summer Palace is a summer resort, so it naturally gets cold earlier. Originally, it was time to set off back to the palace after the Hungry Ghost Festival.

But the emperor considered An Lingrong's health and planned to wait until she had given birth and was in confinement before setting off.

Anyway, he was taking care of everything, and An Lingrong didn't have to worry about it at all.

On the other hand, even if the emperor deliberately hid it from the queen mother, the queen mother still found out on the second day of the queen's grounding.

Immediately let the emperor go to see her. The emperor knew that she wanted to talk about the queen's affairs, so he excused himself from being busy with government affairs.

After pushing for a day or two, the Queen Mother could no longer bear it and came to Qinzheng Palace in person.

"The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and even if the Ai family wanted to see him, he couldn't make time."

The Queen Mother waited for the Emperor to stop what he was doing, and then she complained a little.

The emperor's face was calm and he said calmly: "The emperor's mother summoned me, and my son should not have postponed it. It is really too busy with government affairs, so it can only be delayed for a moment or two. Please bear with the emperor's mother."

A trace of displeasure flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. She was not happy with this son to begin with, and she became more disobedient after ascending to the throne. She was indeed not as considerate as her younger son.

"The government affairs are important, and mourning the family is not an important matter. With such a busy schedule, the emperor should recuperate."

The Queen Mother said as she asked Zhu Xi to open the food box she brought.

"This is your favorite duck soup. It requires carefulness and patience to simmer it to the fullest. It is the best for replenishing the body."

When the emperor heard the words "duck soup", his face darkened.

When it comes to duck soup, who doesn’t know that the Queen’s duck soup is one of the best?

"Although it nourishes the body, duck soup is cold in nature. I don't like to drink it recently."

The emperor didn't even look at the soup bowl that was handed to him. He just lowered his eyes and turned the prayer beads, and asked the queen mother calmly: "Does the queen mother have anything else to do? I still have a memorial that I haven't reviewed yet."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, feeling increasingly unhappy in her heart.

"The Ai family heard that you recently made a new concubine Xian?"

"Concubine Xian has done a good job in giving birth to a child, and this pregnancy has many twists and turns. I make her my concubine to express my relief."

The emperor's voice became colder and colder, but the queen mother seemed not to hear it at all.

She smiled and persuaded with a worried tone: "Concubine Xian has indeed made a contribution to giving birth to a child. But is this promotion a bit too much? Nian Gengyao contributed to the northwest war, and Concubine Hua was only a concubine. Concubine Xian became a concubine as soon as she gave birth to a child. Being granted the title of concubine may chill the hearts of meritorious ministers."

"The war in the northwest is certainly important, but building river embankments to protect the people of Haining from floods is not a meritorious minister?" The emperor paused, and then said: "Concubine Xian's father, An Bihuai, served the court wholeheartedly in order to protect the people from floods. He did not forget to build a river embankment during the heavy rain, but he accidentally got into an accident and now his life or death is uncertain. Isn't it considered a meritorious service? Concubine Xian gave birth to a son, and his father had merit. If he cannot be promoted to concubine, wouldn't it further chill the hearts of the meritorious officials in the court? "

The Queen Mother endured and endured, and used the endurance skills she had practiced in the harem for many years to restrain her urge to spit.

Does she think she is a fool? !

Did she not know that An Bihuai was sent there specifically to share the credit?

Talking about life and death for the sake of efficiency, it is clearly the result of lack of talent and incompetence that leads to the point where even building a river embankment will kill oneself!

The emperor had the nerve to say that he was doing it for the country! I'm so biased that I can't even see it, bah!

"In this case, Concubine Xian is worthy of this concubine position." The Queen Mother calmly said with a smile: "The Ai family has not yet seen Concubine Xian's little brother. Can you name it?"

"Take it. My son named him Yu."

When the emperor mentioned his youngest son, there was a hint of smile in the corner of his eyes.

The Queen Mother was shocked when she figured out which word was "Yu". This name was not inferior to that of Honghui back then. What did the Emperor mean by this?

Could it be that Concubine Xian was really so powerful that she forcibly tied the heart of her ruthless eldest son?

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed back to the former Concubine Shu, and she felt even more aggrieved.

As soon as Concubine Shu entered the palace, the late emperor regarded the Sixth Palace Fendai as a decoration. He wished to give Concubine Shu all the good things in the world, and he also loved Yunli extremely.

If Concubine Shu hadn't entered the palace late, it's really not certain who holds the throne now.

This Hong Yu may become another Yunli in the future, or he may be more favored than Yunli, just like the deposed prince back then.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother complained again to this idiot Yi Xiu.

If she didn't do things right, no matter who ascended the throne in the future, she would be the mother-in-law and the empress dowager.

If he could be on good terms with Concubine Xian and choose a girl from the family to marry Hong Yu in the future, wouldn't they complement each other?

But this idiot not only wanted to have an abortion, but he was also exposed before the abortion was completed, and ended up in the worst possible situation.

Even if he, an old woman, had to sacrifice his face for her, he would be so angry when he thought of the Queen Mother.

"This is a good name. If Hui'er hadn't had an accident back then, she would have grown up now." The Queen Mother sighed: "Recently, the Ai family has always thought of Hui'er, and they originally thought about asking Yi Xiu to perform a ritual ceremony for Hui'er. . I didn’t expect that Concubine Xian would give birth to a child, but it was quite a coincidence.”

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction, the Queen Mother added: "Now that the Ai family is getting older, they feel more and more lonely in the palace. It would be good if it could be more lively."

The emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold.

It turned out that he wanted to take Hong Yu away! He, the empress, is really a scheming person. Does she want to take Hong Yu away to take advantage of Rong'er, or does she want to use Hong Yu as a condition for him to release the queen?

Or, both?

"What does the Emperor think?"

The Queen Mother's smile seemed kind, but her eyes were full of calculations.

The emperor pondered for a moment and then smiled: "Empress Huang is right, Shoukang Palace is indeed a bit cooler."

The Queen Mother thought that he would either agree or disagree, and she had even thought about what to say after he objected. Unexpectedly, the Emperor's words made her confused.

"There are indeed a few princesses in the palace, and Hong Yu is too young. I'm afraid that the noise will make the emperor unable to sleep peacefully. But since the emperor wants to liven things up, let's raise Hong Li with you."

Queen Mother:? ? ?

She was dumbfounded.

Who, Hongli? Who is that?

The Queen Mother's memory was pretty good and she was stunned for a while before reacting.

Hongli is the fourth elder brother who is now raised in Yuanmingyuan.

But when she remembered who it was, the Queen Mother's face turned even darker.

Why would she want an elder brother who was not liked by the emperor and had no mother's family? If the emperor now said that Hongli should be recorded in Yixiu's name, the queen mother would definitely agree without even thinking.

But now Hongli is a useless elder brother. She knows the emperor's temperament very well.

If he raised Hongli, Hongli would have absolutely nothing to do with the throne in the future.

In that case, why would she bother raising a brother? I don’t know how happy every leisurely day is.

But the emperor has said that Hong Yu is prone to making noises when he is too young. Can't he just say that he likes to make noises?

The Queen Mother's face darkened again and again, and in the end she could only refuse firmly: "That's all, Hongli is a bit older after all, and is not as lovable as a child."

The emperor didn't care and just let her make her own decision.

No one could hold Rong'er's baby anyway, so he could see how much Rong'er looked forward to having a baby when she got pregnant again.

Besides, she had fought to the death to give birth to Hong Yu, so how could she give it to the Queen Mother?
