No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When Honghui was summoned to Jiuzhou Qingyan by the Fourth Master, all he could think of was???

No.

I deal with old men all day long, so how come I have become such a problem?

He was a little confused: "It's not necessary to like a girl, right?"

Lin Mingyan almost spit out her tea: No? Could it be...

"I don't have any intention of liking others," Honghui felt annoyed.

He has so many things to do, how can he have the leisure to think about this?

You're already so busy, wouldn't it be better for you to be alone?

Lin Mingyan finally felt relieved: Okay, as long as she doesn’t like men.

"Then what do you think, can your royal father point one out for you?" Lin Mingyan asked cautiously.

She was not in a hurry, but the Fourth Master was.

And among all the civil and military officials in the court, who is not eyeing the successor of the crown prince?

It can be said that in order for the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty to maintain his position, he must have the help of his son.

Although the Fourth Master and Honghui have a deep relationship, he is also worried about his heir.

Honghui certainly understood this principle, and he didn't have high expectations for love.

Especially compared with his family, country and the world, his other half seems dispensable to him.

In fact, this is the mentality of most people in high positions. If they are not people with a strong temperament like the Fourth Master, their expectations for love are actually not deep.

Honghui is such a person, but influenced by Lin Mingyan, he will also be loyal to his partner.

But this was only because she was his wife. As long as there was nothing wrong with her, he didn't care that much about who she was.

So he replied indifferently: "It's all right."

The attitude is, just don't bother him.

But when Lin Mingyan saw him like this, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

All of her seven children grew up in the love of their parents.

But the other six are either innocent and cute or unrestrained and straightforward, and they all live very vividly.

Especially since Yaliqi and Hongyun both found their true love, she felt even more indebted to Honghui.

Because he was the crown prince, he was forced to grow up early in this position.

There were so many things that needed to be carried on his young shoulders that she even forgot that he was also a child.

Until now, Lin Mingyan held Honghui in her arms distressedly: "Good boy, don't jump to conclusions so easily."

"Mother hopes that after you finish your political affairs, you won't think of the cold palace and a woman you don't know very well."

"She's someone who shares my heart and soul. When I think of her after I'm done with my work, I feel filled with joy and all my tiredness disappears."

"Life is very long. If you don't meet the right person, it will be very sad."

In her previous life, Lin Mingyan didn't believe in love at all. She had already decided not to get married or have children.

One person earns money and spends it alone. Just live happily every day.

But San Sheng was fortunate to meet the Fourth Master, who made her realize that there is another way to live life.

She hopes Honghui will also have the opportunity to experience this way of life.

Of course, she didn't force her children to live the same life as her.

If after coming into contact with her, he still thinks the original idea is good and wants to stick to it, then of course she will support it.

But if you arrange his life first, and then wait until he has gained more experience, then the old house will catch fire.

Not only would he suffer, but it would also harm a woman trapped in the deep palace.

Honghui still listened to Lin Mingyan's words and nodded in confusion.

Confused again: "But mother, I am either attending court or handling government affairs every day, I simply don't have time."

Unlike his younger brothers, he could spend time in the Imperial College and meet some different peers.

In his circle, he can hardly meet any girls, let alone have long-term contact with them.

Lin Mingyan also felt that this was a problem, and her eyes darted towards the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master sat at the side, feeling uneasy. "This... can't be blamed on me, right?"

He really wasn't using Honghui like this just to be lazy, he was just trying to reuse him!

Moreover, he had learned the lesson from the previous crown prince who was under suspicion, so he always brought Honghui with him in everything!

Lin Mingyan and Honghui both covered their mouths and laughed secretly. The Fourth Master was very excited.

Lin Mingyan comforted him, "I don't blame you, but I just can't go on like this."

"Honghui also needs an occasion to meet other people."

"Cha Cha, do you have an idea?" The Fourth Master knew she had one as soon as he heard it.

Lin Mingyan nodded. "I think the dragon boat race last time was very good. Not only did it give the children some exercise, it also strengthened their team spirit."

"After a game, the friendship can be deepened a lot."

The Fourth Master nodded. "That's right. You mean horse racing?"

After all, they are Manchus, and they are good at riding horses and shooting arrows.

Regardless of gender, they can start competing in no time.

Lin Mingyan shook her head: "This kind of competition is too formal. I'm afraid everyone won't be able to relax."

It’s easy to imagine who would dare to surpass the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty in riding and shooting!

"Then what are we going to compete in?" The Fourth Master was really curious.

No matter how mature Honghui is, he is still a child after all, and he showed curiosity about his mother's new ideas.

Lin Mingyan began to show off: "Cuju is a good game."

"When the dynasty began, the situation was unstable, so it was difficult to hold such a competition."

"Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, this kind of activity is exactly what we need. It's a good opportunity for Honghui to take the lead."

"There are also other good games like stone bowling, curling, and pot throwing..."

Lin Mingyan chattered on and on about all the competitions she had heard of in her later life, letting the father and son choose whatever they wanted.

Of course, she specifically brought up Cuju in order to cultivate the foundation of football from now on!

We Chinese people always plan ahead and roll up our sleeves!

Honghui didn't understand her good intentions, but he knew the charm of Cuju, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing his reaction, the Fourth Master had nothing else to say.

My wife and son both want it, so let's do it~~

The first Cuju competition in the Qing Dynasty was thus decided and the date was set in October.

Lin Mingyan had a clear understanding of the group stage, quarter-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.

If we were going to do it, we had to do something bigger, and so this national competition was decided.

Moreover, the team is not divided by gender. Men and women each have their own advantages, and strength and agility are both needed on the field.

Who would have thought that the original intention of the Cuju game, which later became popular all over the world, was to find a partner for the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty?

Not to mention that after the competition is held, there will not only be players, but also cheerleaders and spectators.

The Fourth Master himself was not a conservative person, and he and Honghui were directly immersed in studying the rules...
