After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 102: No More Children

"I am willing." Concubine Hua knelt again.

"Good, very good!" The emperor was very happy. "I will choose an auspicious day and adopt the Fourth Prince under your name."

Hua Fei curtseyed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the emperor left the Yikun Palace, he summoned the Fourth Prince to the Yangxin Palace.

When the Fourth Prince heard that his father wanted to see him, he walked around the study room happily, "Father, you are finally willing to see me again."

He asked the palace maids to tidy up his appearance before going to the Yangxin Palace.

When the emperor knew he was coming, he put down the memorial in his hand and looked at his son carefully.

Although the fourth prince Hongli was underage, he was still quite tall and looked strong. Between his eyebrows, he was full of heroism, and the corners of his thin lips were slightly tilted, which was quite similar to the romantic charm of the previous emperor.

At first glance, the Fourth Prince is a handsome and vigorous young man!

The emperor looked very pleased. He had left his son in the Old Summer Palace for all these years, leaving him to fend for himself, but he never thought that the child would turn out to be quite capable.

"Son, pay your respects to the Emperor!" The Fourth Prince bowed to the Emperor.

"Stand up." The emperor sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at the Fourth Prince with a smile, "What Hua Fei said is right, you are indeed very good."

The Fourth Prince raised his head slightly, his eyes brightening, "Did Concubine Hua praise me in front of the Emperor?"

The emperor nodded, "Yes."

The Fourth Prince was amused, with his hands placed awkwardly at his sides.

After all, the Fourth Prince was only fourteen years old at that time, still a half-grown boy. He was always happy when he heard someone praising him.

"Hongli, what do you think of Concubine Hua?" the emperor asked the fourth prince.

The Fourth Prince smiled and replied, "Empress Hua is gentle, kind, and has a dignified character. She is a good empress."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, looked at the Fourth Prince, and asked without blinking, "Then are you willing to be the son of Concubine Hua?"

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a long while, then nodded quickly, "Yes."

The emperor slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, then I will pick a good day in two days and adopt you to Concubine Hua!"

"Father Emperor, Concubine Hua... "

"Don't worry, Concubine Hua likes you very much. She was the one who asked me to ask for your opinion."

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince grinned and said, "That's what I am willing to do, too."

From now on, he also has a mother who is a royal concubine!

Inside the Changchun Palace.

Hearing the maid's reply, Concubine Qi stood up suddenly, her face panicking, "The Emperor actually adopted the Fourth Prince under Concubine Hua's name?"

The Third Prince was reading nearby. When he heard Concubine Qi's movement, he turned his head.

"Mother, what happened?"

When Concubine Qi heard the Third Prince calling her, she came back to her senses from her rage and told him what had happened.

"Mother, are you angry and worried about Fourth Prince's affairs?" The Third Prince looked at Concubine Qi and asked.

Concubine Qi nodded.

The Third Prince smiled and said, "Mother, why should you worry? Don't you know that the Emperor doesn't like my fourth brother?"

"Yes, your royal father does not like your fourth brother. But, your fourth brother now has a mother of noble status, and she will be superior to you in the future." Concubine Qi was worried.

"Mother, don't worry. My son will study hard. My fourth brother started late and will definitely not be able to catch up with my son."

What the third prince Hongshi said was also true. When the fourth prince Hongli was in the Old Summer Palace, he had no proper teacher to teach him. He had to rely entirely on self-study, which was very difficult. Therefore, by the time he was this age, he had already fallen behind in his studies.

At this moment, no matter how hard the Fourth Prince tries, he will never be able to catch up with the Third Prince.

Concubine Qi hugged the Third Prince with relief, "My dear son, you must work hard, and don't let the Fourth Prince outperform you."

Inside Jingren Palace.

The queen placed the teacup heavily on the table and sneered.

"Hua Fei, by adopting the Fourth Prince as your adopted son, do you think you will not have any children in the future?"

Jianqiu lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Doctor Chen checked Concubine Hua's pulse and said that she could not have children anymore."

The smile on the queen's face deepened.

"So, she set her sights on the Fourth Prince."

Jian Qiu smiled coldly, "So what? After all, they are not my own children, so they will always be alienated."

The queen gently rubbed the side of her temple and said, "That depends on Concubine Hua's ability."

As if she wanted to prove it again, she looked at Jianqiu.

"Is it really impossible for Concubine Hua to have children again?"

Jian Qiu said seriously: "It is absolutely true. This is the exact information I got from the Queen Mother's personal maid."

As soon as the Queen heard the word "Empress Dowager", she felt relieved.

"Without an heir, even if the emperor bestows great favor on her, she won't be able to turn the tables." This is what the empress dowager and the emperor are planning.

On the surface, Concubine Hua enjoyed endless honor and favor, but she also paid the most painful price.

"The Queen is right. Concubine Hua made this move because she really had no other choice." Jianqiu began to help the Queen grind ink.

The queen was in a very good mood and began to practice calligraphy again.

Broken Yuxuan.

Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and Zhen Huan gathered together again.

"Sister Wan, Sister Mei, have you heard that Concubine Hua has taken the Fourth Prince in as her keeper." This time, An Lingrong took the initiative to raise questions, which was rare.

Ever since Shen Meizhuang was framed, she has become much more clear-headed and insightful towards people.

Seeing An Lingrong taking the initiative to find a topic for the first time, he asked, "Rong'er, why are you concerned about Concubine Hua's affairs?"

An Lingrong smiled and said, "This matter has been circulating in the palace recently. I also heard about it."

Zhen Huan said, "Hua Fei has been with the emperor for more than ten years, but she has never had a child of her own. If it weren't for the last resort, I don't think anyone would adopt someone else's child as their own."

Shen Meizhuang asked, "Huan'er, do you mean that Concubine Hua feels that she will never have children again?"

Zhen Huan shook her head gently, "This is just my guess. It is a pity that Concubine Hua has been favored for many years but has no children. Being the mother of the Fourth Prince means that she will have someone to rely on in the future, which is a good thing."

Shen Meizhuang also nodded.

"In fact, Concubine Hua is also a pitiful person. She looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, she is quite miserable behind the scenes. After all, no one can guarantee that the emperor's favor will last forever. Only offspring can provide support in this harem."

Shen Meizhuang said this and looked at An Lingrong, then at Zhen Huan.

"You have all been favored recently, so you must work harder and don't be like me."

Zhen Huan held Shen Meizhuang's hand and sighed, "Sister, the emperor still cares about you. As long as you..." lowered her head.

"I think it's good to get along with the emperor like this." Shen Meizhuang interrupted Zhen Huan, her eyes and eyebrows showing a hint of coldness.

Zhen Huan knew that Shen Meizhuang had lost interest in the Emperor, so she stopped asking her and changed the subject.

"Since entering the palace, Concubine Hua has been very helpful to us. Why don't we go to Yikun Palace in a couple of days to see Concubine Hua and congratulate her on taking in the Fourth Prince as her adopted son."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "Okay."

An Lingrong also forced a smile and said, "Listen to Sister Wan."
