After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua

Chuxiu Palace

Yu Ying'er looked out the door from time to time, expecting the person she had missed for a long time to come in and relieve her longing for him. This time, Fubao was busy with his business and had no time to reminisce with Hongyao, and Nian Shilan and others also had their own things to do, so Yu Ying'er was left alone, anxiously waiting for Hongyao to come out of the Yangxin Palace.

Chunle and Xiaolingzi had been waiting at the door for a long time, wanting to report to Yu Ying'er as soon as they saw Hongyao.

"Xiao Lingzi, look quickly, isn't that the Sixth Prince?" Chun Le had sharp eyes and immediately saw that Hong Yao had grown a head taller and was now 1.85 meters tall.

He is thinner and darker, but he has grown older and looks better.

"Go and tell the queen quickly." Chun Le patted Xiao Lingzi on the shoulder and asked him to go into the house to report, while he went to meet her.

Hongyao looked at Chunle and called out with a smile, "Sister Chunle."

"Sixth Prince." Chunle wanted to salute, but was stopped by Hongyao. As they got closer, Chunle saw that his little prince had grown up. Suddenly, he felt a sore nose and tears welled up in his eyes. "You are finally back."

"Well, I'm back, and I won't leave anymore." Hongyao looked at Chunle who was thinking about him, his eyes full of tenderness, which was much more real than when he was with the emperor.

Chunle cried with joy, but she felt that crying was a real spoiler, so she quickly wiped away her tears and said cheerfully, "Sixth Prince, please come in quickly. The Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hongyao nodded, and he and Chunle entered the house one after another.

Yu Ying'er in the room couldn't help but stand up after hearing Xiao Lingzi's report and asked Chunxi if she looked okay and if there was anything wrong.

"Your son pays his respects to mother. Please forgive my unfilial son. I have been away from you for so many years, and I have never been in your presence to serve you and show my filial piety to you." Hong Yao bowed and paid his respects to Yu Ying'er seriously and respectfully, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He felt that he was lucky in this life. He was doing what he wanted to do in front of him, and he had his mother and several concubines behind him who were blessed to consider and plan for him.

Yu Ying'er quickly helped Hongyao up, and gently stroked his face, looking very careful, as if she was looking at a treasure. But how could her own child not be considered a treasure?

"Silly child, how could mother blame you? Mother can only be proud of you. You are the Baturu of Qing Dynasty, the pride of Qing Dynasty." Yu Ying'er put down her hand that was touching Hongyao, and felt his increasingly thin body. Her face was full of heartache, "Are you hungry, child? Eat first and talk while you eat."

As Yu Ying'er finished speaking, Chunxi and Chunle hurriedly had the meal served. The mother and son had long forgotten the rule of not talking while eating at the table. They talked to each other about their longing for each other and the interesting things that happened over the years.

After dinner, when Hongyao talked to Yu Ying'er about the emperor's plan, his brows were always frowned. He really couldn't believe that the fourth brother didn't try it.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ying'er fully understood the emperor's plan and whispered, "Of course, 90% of what your father said to you is true. Maybe 10% is a test, but now you are the only one. So... just rest assured, do what he says, don't think too much, and don't rely on him too much and trust him wholeheartedly."

When Yu Ying'er said this, Hongyao looked up at his mother in disbelief, but seeing her expression, he suddenly felt relieved and replied softly, "I understand."

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Following Su Peisheng's shout, all the people in Chuxiu Palace gathered outside the hall and knelt down to receive his order.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, has decreed the establishment of an heir and the veneration of the foundation of the country, so as to inherit the family line and guard the artifacts, so as to continue the cultural legacy. You should respect the previous teachings and follow the rules and regulations. I hereby advise you, the sixth son of the Emperor, Aisin-Gioro Hongyao, who has the spirit of the gods and the virtue of the saints. You are deeply rooted in the harp and have the aura of a leaf blowing a copper. Since you left the bright moon and have been in the empty palace, you are worthy of respect for the virtue of the earth and are under the jurisdiction of the people and gods. I shall follow the rules and regulations and carry the emblems. Now I am appointing you as the Crown Prince." Su Peisheng finished reading the imperial edict to appoint the Crown Prince word by word and handed it to Hongyao.

[This paragraph borrows from the paragraph about enthroning Hongli as the crown prince, and is modified from Baidu]

"Your son accepts the order." Even though Hong Yao was mentally prepared, he did not expect the imperial edict to come so quickly. After receiving the imperial edict, he was about to stand up to thank Su Peisheng, but he saw Su Peisheng take out another imperial edict and quickly knelt down.

The second imperial edict explained the matter of the granted marriage. Fu Cha Langyu, the daughter of Li Rongbao, the governor of Chahar, was made the principal wife, Niu Hulu Ninghua [privately appointed] the daughter of Niu Hulu Shanbao [Heshen] was made the concubine, Gao Mingche, the daughter of Gao Bin, was made the princess, and An Jia Shuting, the daughter of An Jia Changheng [privately appointed], was made the princess.

"I thank the Emperor for granting you the marriage." Hongyao accepted the second imperial edict in accordance with the rules. The mother's family of the girl granted here were both excellent supporters and would be of great help to Hongyao in his future ascension to the throne.

The two imperial edicts had already determined the future heirs to the throne. Those families who had married off their daughters early, or married off their daughters to the wrong people, were extremely envious of the families that were granted marriages. After all, this would be considered a half-achievement in the future, right?

Yu Ying'er quickly asked someone to give tips to Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi who came with him, and even pretended to invite them to stay for tea.

"I dare not. I have something to talk to the Crown Prince about. Please, Concubine Rou, give me a chance." Su Peisheng's attitude was more respectful than before. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, this was the future Empress Dowager.

Yu Ying'er frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Hongyao. When she saw Hongyao nod, she relaxed her brows and said with a smile, "Please do as you please, eunuch. I still have to go back and sort out the new clothes I prepared for Hongyao. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

About a cup of tea later, Hongyao came back into the room. Yu Ying'er didn't ask any questions. She took a pile of clothes in her hand and said with a smile, "These are the clothes that mother made for you when she heard that you were going back to Beijing. There are three pieces. Take them and try them on."

Seeing this, Hongyao didn't say anything more, and went to try on clothes with a smile. This could be considered a tacit understanding between mother and son. She believed in him and would not ask too many questions, so he naturally had an idea in his mind.

The clothes fit well and the stitching was good, which showed that Yu Ying'er put a lot of thought into it and it was a perfect fit.

"I like it very much." Hong Yao put on one piece of clothing after another and walked around in front of Yu Ying'er for a few circles. "I will wear it back to Xiefang Palace in a while."

"Silly child, deal with whatever you have to deal with quickly. Mother is always here. No matter when you come to visit, mother will be there." Yu Ying'er waved her hand patiently, indicating that Hongyao could go and do his work first.

Hongyao did have some things to deal with, so he immediately bowed and knelt before turning around to look for Fubao. Some things might have to be done faster.

After the emperor issued the imperial decree to grant the marriage, he also stated that the princess would enter the palace in a month, the concubine would marry in three months, and the principal wife would marry in half a year.

That afternoon, Fubao went to the Yangxin Palace to have a meal with the emperor. After the meal, Fubao looked very bad. She was eager to run to find her mother, but she was afraid that the emperor would stare at her, so she rubbed her face and returned to Xiefang Palace with an expressionless face. She could only find Hongyao or find an opportunity to pass the news to her mother.

The situation was urgent, so she couldn't help but panic.
