On May [-]th of the lunar calendar in the eighth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Daqing, and changed the name to Chongde.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the third year of Chongde, the news of the death of Dorgon, the king of Duoluo County, came from Yangzhou. On that day, Huang Taiji ordered him to be posthumously named the hereditary Prince He Shuorui.However, after he had no heir, the imperial court withdrew his hereditary title, leaving only the title of Princess Heshuorui of his descendant Fujin Borzigit clan Bumbutai.

In April of the fifth year of Chongde, the red kapok in the imperial garden bloomed again.

March and April every year are big days for all the eunuchs and maids in the imperial garden, because the queen in the palace likes kapok the most.Because every year when this time is approaching, His Majesty the Emperor, who is busy, will ask the chief eunuch, Eunuch Quan, about this matter.So from the second year of Chongde, the palace simply arranged dozens of people to take care of the kapok in the imperial garden.

In the third year of Chongde, the emperor and empress visited the courtyard together.At that time, I suddenly saw that there were more red kapoks in the imperial garden.At that time, because of the matter of King Dorgon of Doro County, the empress, who had been depressed for a month, took the initiative to hug His Majesty the Emperor beside her.For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor, who was expressionless at the time, privately found the Minister of the Ministry of Industry afterwards, and discussed with him a week later.Since then, there has been a large red kapok garden in the imperial garden, with pavilions, corridors, stone chairs and rockeries in the garden.

After the completion of the kapok garden, it has become the place where the emperor and empress visited the longest in March and April every year.Since then, it has become the most special existence in the imperial garden.

Lying quietly in the gazebo in the courtyard, watching the son and daughter playing hide-and-seek in the distance.Xiao Yu'er raised her head and smiled, but gradually she nodded and fell asleep.

Rong Xin, who was waiting on the side, saw that Xiao Yu'er had fallen asleep, so he quickly took a small blanket from one side and covered Xiao Yu'er with it.

After hastily ordering everyone around to retreat, Rong Xin went up to persuade the three princes and the little princess to another place in person.

It was quiet in the Hongmian pavilion, and Huang Taiji, who had dealt with political affairs at the early court, slowly approached.After seeing the quiet palace guards around, Huang Taiji understood what was going on inside.

After raising his hand to indicate that everyone didn't need to salute, Huang Taiji walked in alone, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was fragrant.In the past, he didn't think much about these Huang Taiji, but all these years because he has been with Xiao Yu'er for a long time.Over time, you will get used to this taste, and gradually like this taste.

Going forward to look at Xiao Yu'er who was sleeping soundly for a while, Huang Taiji stepped forward and leaned on the couch opposite to Xiao Yu'er, at this moment Xiao Quanzi brought the historical records he wanted to read in front of him.

Not long after, in the exquisite Baiyu Pavilion in the courtyard, Xiao Yu'er fell asleep peacefully and sweetly.But Huang Taiji sometimes frowned and sometimes looked at the book in his hand comfortably.

It has been several years for Huang Taiji and Xiao Yuer to live such a peaceful and comfortable life.It has been so long that Huang Taiji knows what kind of expression and what kind of words Xiao Yuer will show when he opens his eyes and sees him later.

"Dorgon--"

But just when Huang Taiji was in a trance while reading, the soft whispering voice of Xiao Yu'er who suddenly fell asleep made Huang Taiji's face completely cold.

Putting the scroll in his hand on the couch, Huang Taiji slowly approached it.

"Dorgon, Dorgon---"

The sleeping Xiao Yu'er's forehead and ears were covered with cold sweat, gently put his hand on Xiao Yu'er's forehead, Huang Taiji whispered, "What's wrong, Yu'er?"

Xiao Yu'er, who was haunted by nightmares, naturally did not answer, but after calling Dorgon a few words softly.But suddenly stretched out his hands in the air and said anxiously: "Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, save me--"

How long had it been since I heard such a voice and such raving, and I suddenly became worried.Tightly holding Xiao Yu'er's hands stretched in mid-air, Huang Taiji leaned over and embraced Xiao Yu'er and said softly: "Don't cry, Yu'er, don't cry. It's just a nightmare, just a nightmare."

Xiao Yu'er slowly opened her eyes under Huang Taiji's body, and saw that Xiao Yu'er who had opened her eyes was staring at him in a daze.Huang Taiji caressed Xiao Yu'er's cheek and smiled lightly: "Dorgon died a long time ago, trampled by thousands of horses, his bones are incomplete and beyond recognition, Yu'er, have you forgotten that he is buried in Horqin now?"

"Really?" Xiao Yu'er wrapped her arms around Huang Taiji's neck, and unconsciously touched her own neck with the other.

Thinking of the woman who always came to visit Zhezhe in the palace these days, Xiao Yuer lowered her eyes and turned cold.If it wasn't for seeing her in the palace, how could she think of Dorgon.

"What did Yu'er dream about? Why is it always called Dorgon's name." Huang Taiji's voice was low while holding Xiao Yu'er.

Xiao Yu'er, who was attached to Huang Taiji's body, froze for a while before softly saying: "It's nothing, just being pinched---"

"Holded?" Huang Taiji slowly moved the hand on Xiao Yu'er's cheek to Xiao Yu'er's neck and asked softly, "Is it here?"

Nodding lightly, she pulled Huang Taiji's hand to her chest and Xiao Yu'er smiled wryly, "Just now you jumped so hard that you were about to jump out, I looked everywhere but you couldn't find it."

"How could it be?" Hugging Xiao Yu'er tightly, Huang Taiji comforted softly: "It's just a nightmare, maybe you dreamed of him because you were tired recently. Otherwise, Yu'er, I wouldn't do anything today Take you out for a walk."

Shaking her head, Xiao Yu'er raised her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, aren't you going to Mongolia once in a while? Just take me with you then. :

Huang Taiji nodded, watching him think of the past, Xiao Yuer smiled and said: "When you became the throne, you promised me to go horseback riding in Horqin together, this time you must let me fulfill my wish, otherwise I will grow old soon."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Looking at Xiao Yu'er who is only twenty-five now, Huang Taiji smiled and said: "This time I will let you get what you want, but you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise I dare not take you."

"En sure."

The two lay together on the soft couch in the pavilion. After a long time, Xiao Yu'er finally said: "Your Majesty, my sister always comes to visit my aunt in the palace recently. Every time she leaves the palace, I feel that Fulin looks at me in a wrong way." Such a young child looks at me with that kind of eyes, to be honest, I feel a little timid in my heart."

Huang Taiji was stunned and looked towards Xiao Yu'er.

Keeping his hand on her heart, Xiao Yu'er said softly: "I really hate her entering the palace. Every time I see her, I think of Dorgon and my days in the palace. You said she is not the most fond of Duo Dorgon? Why is Dorgon dead and she is still alive so - so energetic."

With a sneer, Huang Taiji said directly: "It's not because of vigor, but because of ambition. I just thought that her husband died and she had no children. That's why I granted her permission to enter and leave the palace freely. I originally wanted to make her feel better, but why did Thinking of her being like this."

Knowing that he understood why Bumbutai would enter the palace again and again, listening to the voice of the child in the distance.Xiao Yu'er laughed and said, "Who made Fulin her own, it's only natural for her to want Fulin to be successful."

Huang Taiji pondered and did not make a sound, knowing that some things should not be said too bluntly.So after that, Xiao Yuer never brought up the topic of Fulin again, and instead talked to him about other things.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the fifth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji ordered to summon the Imperial Concubine and Prince Rui who were in Jingren Palace.

The two who hadn't been summoned alone for a long time, even though they were both excited and apprehensive, hurriedly packed up and rushed over.

When the two of them knelt on the golden brick floor in Qianqing Palace and looked up at Huang Taiji sitting high above, they were both in a daze.

Hearing the voice of asking for peace, Huang Taiji gently put down the lake brush in his hand and said directly: "Everyone get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two sat down at the same time, when Xiao Quanzi brought up two cups of high-grade Longjing himself.Huang Taiji looked at Bumbutai who was dressed in a blue flag and asked softly: "I heard that you always go to Jingren Palace to visit Fulin recently?"

Not knowing what he wanted to say, Bumbutai could only bow his head cautiously and said: "The Emperor also knows about Yu'er's situation, and Yu'er doesn't want to remarry now. But Prince Rui's mansion has no queen, so Yu'er can only Come here often to see Fulin, and it can be regarded as finding something for myself to do."

"Your majesty, Yu'er has always been sensible. She never told Fulin what she shouldn't say. On the contrary, she often taught Fulin to be filial to the emperor and me, so—"

It has been many years since I was summoned by Huang Taiji, even though I always have a grudge against Huang Taiji in my heart.But at the moment for the sake of the child, Zhezhe is also smiling all over his face.

Turning his head and looking Zhe Zhe from head to toe, Huang Taiji suddenly interrupted: "Has Fulin paid his respects to the Queen recently?"

With a blockage in his chest, Zhezhe nodded quickly and forced a smile: "Nurse and eunuch will send Fulin there every morning, and they will send Fulin to the study room after they have paid little Yu'er well."

"Really? That's fine."

Leaning on the chair and looking at the smiling Zhe Zhe, Huang Taiji smiled lightly and said: "Courtesy cannot be broken, Zhe Zhe has always done a good job in this aspect, I forgot to think about it."

Thinking of how he had never kowtowed to Xiao Yuer since he was taken to Kyoto by Xiao Yuer's pleading, Zhezhe felt that there was something in Huang Taiji's words this time.

Sensing the stiffness of his aunt beside him keenly, Bumbutai quickly laughed and said, "Your majesty, you may not know that Fulin can draw a bow and dance a sword."

Bumbutai's voice was full of surprise and pride, Xiao Yuer just came in and said with a smile: "The emperor has known these things for a long time."

"Little Yuer---"

"Greetings to the empress!" Bumbutai hurriedly pulled Zhezhe, and Zhezhe made a gesture to bend over.

"Forget it!" With a smile, she stepped forward to support Zhezhe's body, Xiao Yu'er turned her head to Bumbu Taijiao and said with a smile: "Sister may not know, the eunuchs in the palace, and the masters of the princes Every few days, I will give the emperor a booklet. It’s all about the prince who drew the big bow today, the prince who wrote big characters today, and who the prince tripped up today. Although the princes are still young, But we will definitely hand over the country of the Qing Dynasty to a few of them in the future. Therefore, Brother Huang and I never dare to be sloppy or slack in the slightest to them."

"yes?"

Not knowing what to say for a moment, Bumbutai quickly looked at Zhe Zhe beside him.

But seeing Zhezhe lowered his head and began to fiddle with her gold finger cots again at this time, he was secretly worried and Bumbutai raised his head and smiled and said: "The queen has something to do with the emperor, or my aunt and I will step down first."

"Not urgent!"

"The emperor sent me here."

The two spoke at the same time, Xiao Yu'er smiled and watched as Huang Taiji stepped forward and sat opposite him.

Looking at the two sitting on the upper throne, Zhezhe and Bumbutai felt uncomfortable at the same time.

If I could give birth to a son for him, I, Zhe Zhe, would definitely be the one sitting on the Qingfeng chair today.

If there is no Xiao Yu'er, with my Bumbutai's ability, how could I be reduced to such a state.

When the two people below were still in a daze, Xiao Yu'er leaned over and smiled lightly: "The emperor recruited the three of us all at once, but there is something important to do."

Without answering immediately, Huang Taiji just held Xiao Yuer's wrist from below, and then said to the bottom: "Does Zhe Zhe think Da Yuer is good to Fulin?"

Not knowing what he meant, Zhezhe could only say again: "Naturally, she is Fulin's mother-in-law after all. No matter how everything in this world changes, only this blood relationship can't be erased and changed. No. Empress, do you think my aunt is right?"

Zhe Zhe's words sound harsh, but Xiao Yu'er, who has been married to Huang Taiji for many years, already knows his thoughts from the bottom up.

At this moment, Xiao Yu'er's whole heart is on Huang Taiji, so naturally she doesn't want to embarrass Zhe Zhe in this situation, so she can only smile and say: "Auntie is absolutely right!"

Seemingly satisfied with Xiao Yuer's answer, Zhezhe lowered his head and smiled.

And at this moment, Huang Taiji finally smiled and said: "Since Zhe Zhe thinks that Da Yuer is a good mother and will take good care of Fulin. From now on, I will hand Fulin to Da Yuer."

The celadon cup in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhezhe said in a daze, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Didn't you already give me Fulin? You promised me that Fulin would be mine in the future. "

His face turned cold, and Huang Taiji explained with a smile: "I also feel pity for Da Yuer, after all, I ordered her to remarry. Now that Dorgon is gone, she is alone. I might as well give Fulin branch office now , Fulin has loved poetry and books since he was a child, so I will help him. Let him become a rich prince holding a book since he was a child."

"Prince Fugui?" Zhezhe murmured repeatedly, thinking through the joints, Zhezhe looked at Xiao Yu'er, who was at the head, all of a sudden.

And Xiao Yu'er also smiled slightly and looked at Zhe Zhe coldly.

"you--"

"Your Majesty---" interrupting Zhe Zhe, Bumbutai, who was just startled, said anxiously, "My Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Aren't you helpless? Don't you like Fulin very much? Since even my aunt thinks that you are doing a great job, so please stop acting like a fool, Your Majesty. Well-intentioned, it is already an extra grace to treat you like this now, and you should be grateful."

"Your Majesty, you can't, you can't!" Standing up suddenly and kneeling down, Zhe Zhe cried loudly: "My Majesty, I have raised Fulin for seven years, and in seven years I have treated him better than my own. The only hope is him, please don't separate us, please? Your Majesty!"

Zhezhe, who burst into tears suddenly, not only frightened Bumbutai next to her, but also softened the heart of Xiao Yuer, who had always been hard-hearted.

Thinking of her own children, Xiao Yu'er took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Huang Taiji and begged, "Why don't you let my aunt move out and let her live with Fulin in the palace? This can be regarded as a care, As for Prince Rui, if she is willing, she can definitely live with Aunt Fulin."

"Do not---"

"don't want--"

Zhezhe and Bumbutai refused at the same time, while Xiao Yuer and Huang Taiji looked over at the same time.

"Your Majesty, Zhezhe doesn't want to move out of the palace." Even though Huang Taiji never came to see her these years, even though she knew that she might never have a chance in her life, Zhezhe was still unwilling to move out of the palace.

"Your majesty, Fulin is still young, he—he should stay in the palace." Thinking that everything might be caused by entering the palace one after another, Bumbutai quickly knelt down and promised: "Your majesty, empress , I -- I will never come to Fulin casually again. In fact, I only come here occasionally. Dorgon also left me a little princess, and I still need to take care of her to see her get married. And--and--"

Suddenly reacting, Bumbutai said in a hurry: "There is also the matter of Duo Duo. He can't make a sound because of Dorgon. I still want to find a famous doctor in the world for him, and I want to cure his throat."

"I have made up my mind on this matter." Standing up lazily, Huang Taiji said coldly: "I called you here today, and I just kindly let you know. If you don't want to, then I will let Concubine Li go out of the palace to take care of you." Fulin, I believe she will definitely get what she wants."
