Seeing Yu Ying'er like this, Hongyao thought she was worried about him, and said quickly: "I know all this, I won't make any mistakes, I always abide by the rules in front of the emperors, and I dare not slack off. Mother, don't be too tense, don't think that you will hinder your son, just be yourself, I will take care of everything, I will cover for you."

He never experienced maternal love in his previous life, and then he became a wandering soul for hundreds of years. His heart had become numb, but Yu Ying'er gave him a lot of love. Someone cared about his food, clothing and daily necessities, and even asked about whether he ate well and slept well. She also kept buying him useful things.

Even the most hard-hearted person will shed tears because of maternal love, so in addition to fulfilling his own ambitions, he must also protect Yu Ying'er and never let her get hurt. Hongyao thought that the emperor still doted on his mother, but the new girl would enter the palace at the beginning of the year, and he was afraid that the emperor would be bewitched by the new girl, which would make his mother suffer, so he decided to spend more time with his mother to avoid making her wait in sorrow.

What Hongyao thought and even saw in his eyes was that his mother liked and valued the emperor, and he was afraid that his mother would be sad. Little did he know that Yu Ying'er's behavior in front of the emperor was really like a love-brained person who loved the emperor terribly, which made people ignore Yu Ying'er's indifference and never competing for favor when the emperor was not around.

"Okay, my Hongyao has grown up and can also be a support for mother." Yu Ying'er touched Hongyao's face and smiled with relief, "Yao'er, don't just think about mother, no matter when and where you are, you must take care of yourself first, so that you can plan for the future. Although there are not many princes in the palace now, and you are the only one who can accomplish things, you also know the temper of your royal father, so don't force it too much and hurt yourself, understand?"

"I understand what you said, mother. You don't have to worry." The new clothes Hongyao was wearing were embroidered by Yu Ying'er herself. This was the first time she had sewed a decent piece of clothing after learning for many years. Therefore, Hongyao did not want to disappoint Yu Ying'er, so he put on the clothes and paid his respects to Yu Ying'er.

Although he was somewhat worried that the Emperor Qianlong Hongli mentioned in the course of history was a variable, but now that variable was being suppressed, which displeased the emperor, and there was no help from Zhen Huan, he did not take it seriously for the time being, but just sent people to follow and keep an eye on him, fearing that something might go wrong.

Yu Ying'er took out the thickest red envelope from the box on the table and handed it to Hongyao: "Although my mother's things will be given to you and your wife in the future, it's the New Year, so we always have to seek happiness. This red envelope is wrapped for you. I will ask your aunt Chunxi to bring you your New Year's gift later. You can stay for dinner today and rest in the side hall in the evening. Today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor will not blame you."

After saying that, Yu Ying'er handed the box to Chunxi and told her that these were red envelopes from the people in Chuxiu Palace, each of which had a name written on it. She gave them to Chunxi to distribute on her behalf, and also to remember to distribute the gifts that had been prepared long ago, which were also marked, so there was no need to worry about taking the wrong ones.

After thanking his mother, Hongyao saw her actions and took out his purse and put it on the table. He then said, "Aunt Chunxi, put a silver coin in each of the red envelopes. It will be considered as a red envelope given by me to everyone in Chuxiu Palace. I was once the master of Chuxiu Palace, wasn't I?"

Hongyao knew that her mother was also a capable person. She managed the Chuxiu Palace in an orderly manner, and all the palace servants were loyal to her mother. Although this was also due to her and the emperor, it did not prevent her from re-establishing her mother's authority.

Seeing this, Chunxi subconsciously looked at Yu Ying'er and asked her what to do. After seeing Yu Ying'er nod, he took the bag of silver and left.

"Kid, you have little pocket money to begin with, and now you're giving out so much as rewards to the servants in Chuxiu Palace. I'm afraid your life will be tight in the future?" Yu Ying'er felt distressed, thinking of giving some to Hongyao before leaving, for fear that he wouldn't have enough money for his work and expenses.

Hearing this, Hongyao smiled and shook the red envelope containing the banknotes in his hand, saying, "Mother, you have given me a lot of rewards, so I will just sprinkle some water on it. Wouldn't it be better to win the hearts of the people below?"

"You are such a smart kid!" Yu Ying'er smiled helplessly, "By the way, has your sister Fubao gone to see Concubine Hua?"

"I don't know about that. I didn't go to school today. After attending the banquet, I went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. I haven't seen Fubao, so I don't know whether she went to see Concubine Hua." Hongyao naturally knew what his mother was worried about. It was nothing more than that after Fubao had an unhappy incident last time because of her desire to marry to Mongolia, Fubao almost stayed in Xiefang Palace and was unwilling to return to Yikun Palace. His mother was afraid that Concubine Hua would be sad.

Yu Ying'er felt a little headache. Chao Gui had returned to the court and was present tonight on New Year's Eve. She was able to stay in her boudoir for a day. Fu Bao also wanted to get in touch with Chao Gui. Yu Ying'er was afraid that Fu Bao would suddenly lose his mind and go to see Chao Gui instead of his mother! If that happened, how sad would the queen be?

Hongyao may have sensed what Yu Ying'er was thinking, and hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry too much. Sister Fubao will definitely not be so ignorant."

In fact, Hongyao felt a little unconfident when he said this. He always felt that Fubao was a man who had talent and knowledge, but he was a little selfish, which was a fatal flaw.

"Oh, I hope so." Yu Ying'er could only pray like this. After all, her legs could not bear the torment of running to Yikun Palace to comfort Nian Shilan. Although she really wanted to go, she needed to have the strength to do so, right?

Hongyao noticed Yu Ying'er's hand suddenly touching her thigh, and remembered what the emperor said, and asked hurriedly: "The emperor told me some time ago that my mother's legs were injured. Is it serious now? How could her legs be injured for no reason? Did anyone ask you to kneel? Logically speaking, with my mother's current status, I'm afraid only the emperor and the queen mother can ask you to kneel. Did the queen mother bully you?"

Hongyao respected and loved Yu Ying'er very much, but he didn't like the former Concubine De, who was now the Empress Dowager and was ignorant of her own danger and cruel.

In her previous life, she acted gentle and treated me very well, but... in the end, she was the most selfish and the most capable of making trouble! I don't know why her father didn't deal with her earlier after she stirred up trouble in the harem for so long? She even dared to have an affair with a minister. Tsk... I feel sad for the former and current emperors.

Yu Ying'er touched Hongyao's head, smiled and shook her head: "No, how could the Queen Mother bully me? You, don't think too much."

"Mom, I'm hungry." Hongyao thought too much and was already depressed. However, he was afraid of scaring his mother and didn't want to feel so depressed at the moment, so he changed the subject by saying that he was hungry.

Seeing her poor little one touching her belly and acting coquettishly to her, coupled with that cute little expression, Yu Ying'er immediately felt that it was adorable, and hurriedly shouted: "Chunxi, Chen Luhai, your brother Hongyao is hungry, go and make some simple side dishes, make more, and you can share them later."

"Hey." The cheerful voices of a man and a woman were heard at the door. Being able to eat the same thing as the master was a reward!

Tonight there are red envelopes and rewards to be received, and we can also have a delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone is very happy and helps each other to make dishes and pastries. For a moment, Chuxiu Palace is filled with laughter and joy, making it the happiest palace in the entire harem.
