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

Lin Mingyan said a few words of concern, but seeing that she wasn't really listening, she didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, and even the Fourth Master felt the difference.

He frowned and said to Wu Yunzhu in a gentle voice, "Your Royal Mother is doing this for your own good. You must take care of yourself."

"Children are important, but you are a princess, and your life is more important!"

He naturally favored his daughter over his grandson.

Wu Yunzhu was naturally happy to hear this and nodded quickly, "I understand, my daughter. Thank you, Father and Mother, for your concern."

Now that she has expressed her opinion, the Fourth Master feels relieved.

After a while, Hongshi and Hongyan also arrived.

Hongyu was dressed very cutely. He greeted the guests sweetly as soon as he came in. He received two big red envelopes and smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.

Hongshi was more timid. He had broken his foot bone before, and although he had been in bed for a long time, he still hadn't recovered.

He felt such excruciating pain every time he walked that he didn't dare to exert any strength. He greeted Lin Mingyan and the others, then huddled aside like a quail.

When Honghui and others saw them arrive, they stopped playing and came over to wish each other a happy new year.

Hongshi now spoke much more quietly than before, and looked a little frightened.

Wu Yunzhu watched coldly, knowing that no one could compare to the child born by the Queen.

But she is no longer at the age of dreaming. Now that she has a child, she just wants to raise the child well.

After all, she is just a princess and poses no threat to anyone. She is also the emperor's eldest daughter, so whoever comes to power will not treat her unfairly.

She stroked her belly, her heart filled with infinite longing for the future, thinking about the happy times after the baby was born.

However, Wu Yunzhu still couldn't control her mouth. When it was time for lunch, she took advantage of the fact that no one was watching her and ate a lot.

On such a big day, even if Lin Mingyan saw it, she would pretend not to see it. After all, it wouldn't be a big deal if she just had this one meal.

What's more, everyone's attention was attracted by Hongshi, because he ate a lot.

If he hadn't been concerned about not being disrespectful in front of the emperor, he would have wanted to eat from the huge soup bowl.

Everyone was stunned by him, and Hongyu even said innocently, "Fourth brother, how come you can eat more?"

Hongshi can eat it, but he has never eaten like this before.

Hongshi was so helpless. He hadn't eaten anything delicious for a long time.

After all, most of his salary had to be used to repay the loan, and the rest was not only used to pay for medical treatment and medicine but also to support his mother. It was really difficult.

Recently, they were so poor that they could not even afford to support the servants in the mansion, so they had to sell half of them, and this is how they were able to keep going.

Now that I have finally had a chance to enter the Old Summer Palace and see so many delicious foods, I must eat as much as I can.

After all, if you miss this opportunity, you might never find it again.

He was not a person who was afraid of losing face, so he expressed his difficulties in public with a sad face.

With his hands in his pockets, he touched the two red envelopes and calculated how much money he had and whether it was enough for him to have a few good meals.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, the Fourth Master sighed and said, "The Emperor also knows your difficulties, so..."

Does it mean that I don’t have to repay the loan?

Hongshi's eyes were full of hope, and he stared at the Fourth Master pitifully.

The Fourth Master continued, "After the marriage, I will assign you a position so that you can at least receive a salary."

"You can use this salary for your expenses, and I think you can live well."

Hongshi was not pardoned, but he was very satisfied to be able to earn another penny.

"Thank you, Father!" He expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He thought that the emperor still cared about him as a son and knew that he was having a hard time, so wasn't he providing him with some support?

Hongshi couldn't help but let out a greasy, goofy grin.

But what the Fourth Master said next left him dumbfounded!

"Going to Konbaung?!!!!" Hongshi's scream almost blew the roof off the house.

Not only is Konbaung a barren place, but the climate there is completely different from that of the capital.

I heard that it is extremely hot all year round, and there are countless poisonous creatures such as snakes and ants.

How is it different from being a gifted one if you take up a position like this? ! ! !

His smile froze on his face, and his open mouth took a long time to close.

The Fourth Master glanced at him and said, "What's the big deal? We've already conquered Konbaung. We can't just leave it there."

"I'm not asking you to be the boss, just an assistant. If you work hard under him, your monthly salary will not be less."

In fact, he didn't expect Hongshi to achieve much, he just wanted to give him some training and let the couple get along well.

No matter how dissatisfied Hongshi was, the pain in his foot reminded him that he dared not disobey the Fourth Master. He could only nod with tears in his eyes: "Your son understands."

This is just great.

If you run to such a remote place, what can you enjoy even if you have money?

Hongshi spent the first day of the new year in "exile".

Wu Yunzhu felt a little relieved when she saw Hongshi was so unlucky.

At least her husband went to the north, and Hongshi and his wife went to the south, and the emperor didn't favor anyone over the other.

However, she also kept an eye on Hongyun and Hongli, hoping that the emperor would not be partial to them when they got married.

As for Honghui, she had long since stopped competing with him, because he was the prince!

As for that little fool Hongyu, there was no need for her to compare him with others.

When Hongshi returned home at night, he felt like the sky had fallen and couldn't help bursting into tears.

Zhang, who had hurried over, widened her eyes. "Wait, did His Majesty ask me to go with you?"

Hongshi thought she wanted to go over and take care of him, and he was very touched, but he still shook his head: "No, the emperor only asked me and my cousin Zhang to go."

Zhang then patted her plump chest and said, "That's good, that's good!"

"Mother must be doing well in the mansion. Don't worry about her. Do something good for your father!"

Hongshi—No, are you my mother?

Of course, Zhang was unwilling to leave the capital. After all, her life now was like that of a god.

She has plenty of money and no one dares to bully her.

Not to mention having two guards, that's such a harmonious relationship between body and mind!

If she really had to give up everything and follow her son to a place like Konbaung, she would be absolutely unwilling to do so.

Hongshi did not find any comfort from his mother, but fortunately, after getting married, when he mentioned this to Xiao Zhang, she was very calm.

"Don't worry, cousin. I will follow you wherever you go," Xiao Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her aunt doesn't like her, and life would be difficult for her if she lived under the same roof with her.

The Emperor sent the couple away. Although the conditions there were a little difficult, it was a great thing for her.

All the hardships she endures outside will be due to her companionship with her husband in the future!
