Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The emperor was furious and his blood rushed to his head. He staggered and almost fell. Zhen Huan hurried forward to support the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. You must not get angry and hurt yourself because of this matter! If you fall ill because of this, it will be my fault!" Zhen Huan helped the emperor to sit down, then stood behind him and stretched out her hand to massage his head.

"Imperial Concubine Xi, you are right. I cannot fall! Now the Ulanara clan of the previous dynasty has been forcing me to establish the position of crown prince as soon as possible. Do they really think I am old?"

The emperor was very suspicious and was in his fifties, his body aging rapidly. Naturally, he did not want to see power fall into the hands of others.

Just at this time, the third prince came outside to ask for a meeting.

Zhen Huan suddenly had an idea and thought to herself, the Third Prince is the Queen's adopted son and he is stupid. If he took the initiative to plead for the Queen at this time, the Emperor would definitely feel disgusted.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan said:

"Your Majesty, since the Third Prince is here, I will take my leave and not disturb him from paying his respects!"

When she reached the door, Zhen Huan happened to meet the Third Prince.

The third prince Hongshi bowed and said:

"Greetings to Empress Xi, long live Empress Xi!"

"As expected, the Third Prince is really filial. He comes to pay his respects to the Emperor so late at night. What a deep love between father and son!" Zhen Huan nodded slightly and said with a smile.

Hongshi did not have much hostility towards Zhen Huan. He just said calmly:

"The Emperor doesn't like me, so I just pay my respects to him as a matter of routine every day, but he doesn't seem to care!"

Zhen Huan advised:

"Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, filial piety has been the guiding principle for governing the country. If you can show your filial piety and let the emperor know your filial piety, then you won't have to worry about the emperor not liking you in the future."

Hongshi thought it made sense and started thinking about what he could do to show his filial piety.

He thought about it and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was now calm, but he still felt resentful about what the queen had done and could not forgive her. As he was sighing, Hongshi came in and bowed, saying:

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health! Today, I have finished reviewing all the lessons I needed to study. Please check them!"

The emperor was pleased to see his son so respectful. He took a book and asked Hongshi to recite a passage.

Hongshi worked very hard during this period and had memorized chapters of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

He recited it skillfully word by word. The emperor was delighted and repeatedly praised Hongshi for setting an example for his younger brothers as the eldest son.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Hongshi knelt down and said:

"Father, I am able to make today's progress thanks to the careful guidance of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is now under house arrest in Jingren Palace. After all, she is the mother of a country. Please let her out for the sake of her many years of accompanying the Emperor!"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He asked coldly:

"Who told you to say these words?"

Hongshi continued foolishly:

"I want to say this myself. The Empress Dowager treats me very well. No matter what mistakes she made, she is still your wife! I beg you to release her and not let the subjects panic!"

"How dare you! How can your subjects speculate? I am your royal father, but you cannot distinguish right from wrong and always defend the guilty woman. Am I such a tyrant in your eyes?" The emperor was furious. He stepped forward and kicked him.

"You are a rebellious son! If you dare to say one more word, I will no longer recognize you as my son!"

Hongshi knelt on the ground. He couldn't understand why his father, who had been so kind just now, suddenly became so furious?
