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

After a simple meal, Hongyao chatted with his mother for a while, also to prepare for what he was going to say next and his future plans.

Yesterday, he had asked the emperor for permission to go to sea with Prince Xun. He didn't know when he would be back, so he had talked with Yu Ying'er for so long tonight. This time, he had to go, after all, he thought that Fourteenth would not have a more intuitive understanding of what happened in the future, and he was afraid that Fourteenth would be deceived by others.

Yu Ying'er understood Hongyao's plan at first, but she was also surprised and reluctant. She thought that Hongyao was still young. How could he go out to sea when he was less than ten years old? There were swarms of pirates on the sea and it was an unfamiliar environment. Yu Ying'er didn't dare to imagine what Hongyao would encounter, what consequences would be caused, and what would happen to him.

But Hongyao patiently persuaded him, explained the pros and cons, and also told him the reasons why he must go. He said that he could learn a lot by going, and he could also be a pair of eyes for the emperor, staring at everyone's eyes, discovering for the emperor, and seeing the real outside world.

"Mother, don't worry. Since the Emperor has agreed to let me go, he knows that I have the ability to protect myself, or that someone he sent will protect me. Are you worried about me and the Emperor?" Hongyao patiently comforted Yu Ying'er. He made a deal with the fourth brother. He wanted to go to sea, but 90% of the people around him must be the fourth brother's men. It was a bit passive, but it was a constraint that he could not get rid of with his current identity. So he kept reminding himself to wait, wait for his body to grow up.

But it was precisely because he was forced to agree to such conditions that the Fourth Brother could openly send people to keep an eye on Prince Xun, for fear that he would make any moves in private. But it was also because of this that the Fourth Brother agreed to let him go along.

It was under the pretext of following Prince Xun to see the outside world and to gain experience, but in reality it was just an excuse to recruit more spies.

When Prince Xun learned that he was going to bring his favorite nephew, he was also very happy. He patted his chest in front of the emperor and swore that he would definitely protect Hongyao. He said it with such sincerity that the emperor almost twitched his mouth and felt that he was a little ungrateful. However, that emotion only lasted for a moment and disappeared completely.

Anyway, after much consideration, the emperor made this decision in private without telling anyone. He planned to wait until they left the capital and got on the ship before announcing it, lest the empress dowager and Yu Ying'er find out and make a scene, which would be ugly.

Yu Ying'er looked at Hongyao quietly. This child had never given her any worries since he was born. He took care of everything by himself and had thought about his future. It seemed that she could just lie down and forget about everything now that she had Hongyao.

But...my Hongyao is only nine and a half years old.

"Yao'er, you are only nine years old! Mother doesn't want to live such a tiring life. You are still young, so let's take things slowly. Can we wait until you are older before going out to sea?" They have been taught since childhood that there are ferocious pirates overseas and that those who go out to sea are risking their lives and there is no way back. Now that the maritime ban has been lifted, they have to go out to sea. She is really worried, even though the Emperor Shengzu ascended the throne at the age of ten and created a lot of wealth for the Qing Dynasty at a young age.

Hongyao was helpless. His mother was not as calm and composed as she looked. On the contrary, she was a silly girl who was naive and sometimes couldn't even figure out the situation. But she had to disguise herself and pretend to be the girl who was capable of standing on her own feet. She wanted to be herself and become the mountain that Nian Shilan could rely on.

This girl was so silly, but she really made him feel sorry for her.

"Mother, you have to believe me. I also want to be your sky, instead of just relying on your protection. I can also help you protect the people you want to protect, such as Mother Hua." Hong Yao looked at Yu Ying'er seriously and tried to make Yu Ying'er believe that he could also protect him, even though he was only nine years old and had not yet made a name for himself.

In his previous life, Hongyao lacked maternal love, which made it very difficult for him to get along with women. In addition, during the political marriage in his previous life, at the critical moment of the struggle for succession, he was extremely strict with the Crown Princess, even to the point of being insane. Now he feels very sorry for the Crown Princess. During the hundreds of years of wandering, he was most grateful to Li Xiuning, who taught him a lot about interacting with women. Then he was most grateful to Yu Ying'er, who made him feel the lost maternal love.

Hongyao's words made Yu Ying'er fall into deep thought. It's not that she didn't believe Hongyao. It's just that she believed him, but the situation overseas was unknown. Not to mention a kid like him, even an adult would be very dangerous. She couldn't feel at ease.

But... Yu Ying'er looked into Hongyao's eyes, as if she could see through these eyes his brilliant life in his previous life, but that life must have been full of regrets, so he was so eager for success, eager to perform, to prove himself, and also to protect what he wanted to protect.

"Okay." Yu Ying'er said with a smile.

She didn't plan to stop Hongyao. Hongyao was not a bird in the sky or a tiger in the garden. He should be a dragon in the sky, soaring in the blue sky and creating his own future.

Hongyao raised his eyes and looked into his gaze. The moment their eyes met, he felt as if he had met a confidant again, someone who understood him and was willing to support him.

"Thank you." Hongyao said sincerely.

Hongyao resolved his worry, and then said goodbye to Yu Ying'er and went to the side hall to rest. He had to report to Fourteenth tomorrow, so he couldn't stay up late.

"Go, there's no end to the journey, you have to be careful along the way, if you get a chance you must write to me and let me know you're safe." Yu Ying'er felt a slight soreness in her nose at this moment, and she was about to burst into tears. This was the second time she cried since she came to this world. The first time was when Nian Shilan had a difficult delivery. Obviously she had made all the necessary arrangements, but when she was in that situation at the time, she couldn't help crying and worrying when she thought of that scene.

Hongyao nodded slightly and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would cry before Yu Ying'er.

Damn, this kid's body is too sensitive.

The next day, Hongyao got up very early. Seeing that there was no movement in Yu Ying'er's room, he let Xiao Lingzi and Chunle help him wash up. He simply ate two meat buns brought by Chunxi, and then he was ready to leave.

"Aunt Chunxi, thank you for taking care of my mother. I will bring you gifts when I come back." Hongyao always kept in mind the habits of later generations. When he traveled to a place, he would definitely bring local specialties or gifts for his relatives and friends.

Chunxi smiled gently, just as gentle and kind as Hongyao remembered: "Yes, Sixth Prince, I will take good care of you and wait for you to return to the capital."

Hongyao nodded and left.

When Hongyao walked out of Chuxiu Palace, the door of the room that had been silent suddenly opened, and Yu Ying'er walked out of the room. She was still wearing the new clothes she wore when she chatted with Hongyao yesterday, which was enough to show that Yu Ying'er had not slept all night.

"He's gone?" Yu Ying'er tried to look to see if she could see his back. She suddenly felt that she was being so hypocritical. She had clearly thought before that she wouldn't be sad and reluctant to see him, but when Hongyao really left, she couldn't help but want to come out and see him.

Seeing Yu Ying'er like this, Chunxi could only sigh slightly and hurried forward to persuade her: "Madam, you haven't slept all night, your body can't hold on. You can't let Prince Hongyao come back and see you haggard, right?"

Yu Ying'er narrowed her eyes slightly, and moved her gaze towards Chunle and Xiao Lingzi, and said with some confusion but also worry: "He didn't even bring you."

The two looked at each other, knelt down quickly and said, "Sixth Prince said that he was going there to gain experience, not to enjoy himself, so why would he take us with him? Moreover, we are powerless, and taking us with us would only make us a burden to Sixth Prince."

"Yeah." Yu Ying'er hummed softly, and leaned towards Chunxi as if she was tired, "Chunxi, I'm so tired, I don't want to go to pay my respects, can you help me ask for leave?"

Yu Ying'er is now like a lazy and injured little animal, relying on the person she trusts, putting all her strength on this person, seeking a little warmth.

Chunxi supported Yu Ying'er and coaxed her patiently and gently, "Then, Madam, I will help you to go and rest, and let Chunle go and ask for leave for you and Imperial Noble Consort Jing, how about that?"
