If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

In the Changchun Xian Pavilion, the Queen sat at the head and said, "Princess Wen Yi's birthday will be in half a month. There are not many children in the palace, so a one-year-old birthday must be celebrated properly. The Emperor meant that even though we are not in the palace, we cannot keep it simple, and we must make it lively. We have already told the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle this matter."

Concubine Cao was overjoyed when she heard the Queen's words. She immediately stood up and bowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The princess and I are grateful."

"You have given birth to a dragon offspring for the emperor, so you have made great contributions. No need to thank me." After saying that, the queen raised her hand and made a gesture to stand up.

Concubine Cao also stood up and retreated to her seat following the Queen's gesture. The Queen continued with a fake smile, "Having many descendants is a blessing for the country. The Emperor doesn't have many descendants, so please help the Emperor share his worries."

Everyone responded to Empress Xie listlessly, except Concubine Cao, who answered most straightforwardly and excitedly.

"There weren't many dragon descendants to begin with, but now there's one more." Hua Fei said with a smile. She just couldn't stand the Queen's false virtue. She obviously hated herself for not having children, but she still pretended to be virtuous.

"Hua Fei, please don't break the taboo." Qi Fei said coldly. Qi Fei knew that Hua Fei was talking about the Fourth Prince who had been raised in the Old Summer Palace. The child looked pitiful, but his biological mother was disliked by the emperor, and they all disliked him as well.

When Concubine Hua heard Concubine Qi's words, she sneered and leisurely picked up the teacup and said, "Everyone is taboo, but I am not."

"Is the child born by me worthy of being a descendant of the dragon?" After hearing what Concubine Hua said, this was the only sentence left in Concubine Qi's mind: the Fourth Prince was not worthy of being compared with her Third Prince.

"It's true that the Fourth Prince's biological mother is a lowly maid, but the Emperor's child is the Emperor's child, and he is also the Third Prince's biological brother." The angrier Concubine Qi got, the happier Concubine Hua was to provoke her.

"He doesn't deserve it." Concubine Qi was annoyed after all. How could her Third Prince be compared with such a lowly guy?

"Well, why are you saying all this for no reason?" The Queen looked at the useless Concubine Qi and really didn't want to listen to her brainless words anymore. "We are all old people around the Emperor. Even if we don't care about the taboos in the palace, don't we care about the Emperor's feelings?"

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes, and Concubine Qi replied to the Queen in a submissive manner, "I dare not."

"When you have time, accompany the Third Prince to review his studies, and the Emperor will inquire about it carefully," the Queen directly arranged Concubine Qi's future schedule, which was basically telling her not to go out unless necessary.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The Third Prince is very diligent today, studying until late at night every day." I don't know if Concubine Qi understood what the Queen said.

"That's right. The Third Prince is the Emperor's eldest son and he should set an example." The Queen is still optimistic about the Third Prince because he is the Emperor's eldest son. Currently, the Emperor only has the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are not liked by the Emperor and have been kept in the garden.

"What's the point of just working hard? I'm afraid you're no better than a worthless bastard. When I came here just now, I saw the Fourth Prince reciting a book by the lake. He recited the book much more fluently than the Third Prince." Hua Fei was laughing directly at Qi Fei's face. She didn't care about the Fourth Prince, but she knew that the Third Prince was stupid. The Queen actually pinned her hopes on the Third Prince, which made her laugh out loud.
