Li Yu's sudden mission was to punish Mr. Zhang with a soft knife.

But he didn't dare to refute. Not only did Concubine Xiu persuade the emperor, but she also gave him suggestions. Can such advice be given casually?

That was the regent appointed by the late emperor!

Yu Suisui thought for a moment and said, "Should we hold a grand ceremony to commemorate the late emperor?" This was a big deal. The late emperor had been dead for more than three years, and Qianlong was already impatient and wanted to get rid of some of the late emperor's influence.

Holding all the power is what every emperor wants to do.

Qianlong did not want to hold a big ceremony. The emperor treated him well when he grew up, but during the ten years or so he lived in the prince's palace, before he was selected by the emperor to study in the palace.

His life in the palace was not good.

At that time, the emperor only cared about Nian's children and his eldest brother, the third brother. He and his fifth brother did not have an easy life in the mansion.

Their mothers fell out of favor after Nian entered the mansion.

The legitimate mother was not bad to them, but she was not considered the queen dowager either. In the mother's words, the legitimate mother had done a very good job.

The rest is not the legitimate mother’s business, it’s because the emperor did not take them into consideration.

At that time, the Emperor's father was determined to show that he was not interested in worldly affairs in front of the Emperor. He lived in a farm in the suburbs with Nian, farming and practicing Zen.

During those years, he could only see the Emperor during the holidays, and usually the Emperor would not smile at them. Only when he saw his third brother and Nian would his face soften.

Qianlong did not want to celebrate Yongzheng in a grand manner, but there was no other way in the first two years as he had to express his longing for his father.

Now that the mourning period has passed, he has not had any children in the past three years, which is a kind of respect for the imperial father.

Compared to what the Emperor did after the Emperor's death, he did better than the Emperor did.

Yu Suisui did not wait for Qianlong's answer. His silence itself was also a kind of attitude. "The last two times the late emperor held memorial ceremonies, I saw that the emperor and the empress dowager were very tired. How about this time, the emperor should not work so hard and send the prince to go."

You have to know that Qianlong's needs are actually very simple. He has no feelings for Yongzheng, and if he does have any, it is mostly hatred.

In the original owner's memory, Qianlong was not valued by Yongzheng until the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, because at that time, Yongzheng's favorite son, Prince Fuhui, born to Concubine Nian, died.

After losing his favorite son, Yongzheng had to face the dilemma of not having many sons. His eldest son, the Third Prince, was adopted by the Eighth Wise Prince, whom he hated the most. He died in the year that Qianlong married the Queen.

The eldest son died, and the beloved son also died.

Yongzheng had only two sons. One was Hongzhou, born to Geng, a bondservant, and also known as Prince Heqin; the other was Hongli, born to the empress dowager, who came from the prominent Niohuru clan.

After comparing the two sons, I knew which one to choose.

There was no choice but for Qianlong to become the emperor. It was all because Yongzheng had few sons and no competitors.

Compared with Kangxi's twenty or so sons who grew up, Yongzheng only had two sons left. No matter how he fought, he was afraid that both sides would suffer losses, so he had to adopt a son to inherit the throne.

Then Yongzheng’s lifelong struggle became a joke.

He had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​secretly appointing a crown prince to reduce the fighting between his two remaining sons.

If he says that he has no hope of becoming a prince, then he is not a prince.

Yu Suisui was lost in thought. When Emperor Qianlong heard such a suggestion that suited his taste, he was overjoyed. Neither he nor his mother wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to their father.

However, due to etiquette and because he had only been on the throne for a short time, he had to compromise on some things.

"How dare I say I'm tired of doing such a thing? It is my duty as a son to defeat the Emperor." Of course, Qianlong didn't mean that.

Yu Suisui hugged Qianlong's arm and said, "I don't want the emperor to be too tired. I see that the emperor has been busy with state affairs recently and has not even entered the harem. I feel sorry for the emperor."

"Your Majesty, please promise me that you won't have to travel this far. It's too tiring."

"Furthermore, if the late emperor knew how hard the emperor worked, he would definitely feel sorry for him and would definitely not ask the emperor to drag his tired body just to visit the imperial mausoleum."

Yu Suisui said these words without thinking. Qianlong's meaning was not clear yet, and he could not say it himself, but he just thought so in his heart.

Have a good reputation.

Now that he has just become an emperor, he wants to have a good reputation everywhere. He is a filial son to the late emperor and the empress dowager, a loyal and affectionate emperor to the empress and concubines, a loving father to his son, and a wise ruler to the people... and so on.

In short, Qianlong now wants all the good reputation.

Seeing Yu Suisui acting like a spoiled child, Qianlong's brows softened and he scratched Yu Suisui's nose with his hand. "It's a good thing you said that here. If you were somewhere else, I'm afraid you would be beaten with a stick."

Xiupin said this because she felt sorry for him. Standing next to him, she couldn't bear to see him work so hard, but he couldn't tell anyone.

"Your Majesty, please promise me that you won't be so tired! I'll be distressed." Yu Suisui's voice became softer, with a hint of pity, "When the Emperor gets busy, he won't come to the harem, and I won't be able to see him."

When Qianlong heard the latter sentence, all the doubts in his heart disappeared. After all, Xiupin was just a wild girl, so how could she know those things?

Whatever she said was from her own perspective.

She felt sorry for him as the emperor, but was even more afraid that she herself could not see him as the emperor.

Worried about falling out of favor.

"If you continue talking, the Empress Dowager will find out and punish you by making you kneel in Baohua Palace and recite sutras for the late emperor." Qianlong threatened Yu Suisui.

In fact, my mother didn't want to go. Last time, she used illness as an excuse to get away with it. In the end, because it wasn't even three years yet, she reluctantly went to the imperial tomb to pay homage.

Yu Suisui knew Qianlong very well and shook Qianlong's arm, "Your Majesty, I don't want you to be tired from the journey. The heavy snow has come so early this year, it must be a cold winter. Your Majesty, you will have to endure a lot of hardships on the way to the imperial mausoleum in the biting cold wind."

In fact, she would not catch a cold at all, but Yu Suisui just wanted to say that. She persuaded Qianlong not to go. According to Qianlong's personality, he would definitely give her other benefits.

Yu Suisui acted coquettishly for a while, then sat on Qianlong and tried to persuade him in various ways, and finally Qianlong nodded in agreement.

-

In Changchun Palace, the Queen was preparing for Yongzheng's memorial.

Yuzhu hurried in, not caring about her manners, and said in a panic, "Empress, the Emperor has decreed that Prince Heqin will perform the sacrifice on behalf of the late emperor this year."

How is this possible? The Emperor didn't even attend the late emperor's memorial ceremony? This was going to be a cause for controversy.

The Queen paused as she was turning the abacus. "When did it happen?"
