After An Lingrong learned about Su Peisheng's experience from several spies, she laughed so hard that her face turned red.

"Bao Que, send a portion of osmanthus cake to the Yangxin Palace."

In less than half an hour, Baoque came back with a message.

"My Lord, the Emperor was originally going to dine at our Yonghe Palace. But just as he was leaving the Yangxin Palace, he ran into Aunt Zhuxi."

The Queen Mother invites you, who dares to stop her?

"Okay, I understand. Tell the kitchen to keep the dishes as usual, and keep half of them in the side room."

"Thank you for your consideration, ma'am."

After An Lingrong was promoted to the position of concubine, her treatment increased a lot.

Concubine Hua temporarily took over the palace power and did not blame her.

Moreover, she also took charge of Hongzhan's share of the prince's income.

In a word, she is not short of money now.

An Lingrong ate delicious food in Yonghe Palace, but the emperor, who was a vegetarian and accompanied the empress dowager, didn't have much time to eat.

The Empress Dowager was old and ate less. She stopped eating after just a few bites, and the Emperor had no choice but to follow suit.

"Your Majesty, please move to the side hall. I have made some milk tea."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhuxi."

The emperor sat down politely.

"The Empress Dowager has invited me to Shoukang Palace. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Emperor, expanding the royal family is of paramount importance. Although Consort Shu has given birth to a sixth prince and the Empress is pregnant, you still have a void under your knees."

"My son will follow the teachings of the Empress Dowager and will definitely have many children for the royal family."

The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with his favoritism towards Concubine Wan and advised him to treat everyone equally.

Zhuxi looked at the mother and son looking at each other in silence, and sighed in his heart.

The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor liked plain tea, but she still asked her to make the milk tea that the Fourteenth Prince liked.

It's not that she didn't try to persuade the Queen Mother, but it was of no use.

Zhuxi looked at the emperor who walked out of Shoukang Palace without looking back and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is also yours..."

"Zhuxi, it's time to worship Buddha. Please help me to the small Buddhist temple."

The two most noble mother and son in the world only have one thing in common: their stubbornness; neither of them wants to bow down first.

Zhuxi sometimes wonders who can be blamed for this.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, the emperor went straight to Jingyang Palace. When the golden crow set in the west, he stepped into Yonghe Palace.

"Rong'er, let's go see Hongzhan."

An Lingrong naturally obeyed.

The baby who was still breastfeeding was easily attracted by the sound, and An Lingrong sang a nursery rhyme as if no one was around.

She used her own voice.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the gentle woman. The emperor stared at her in a daze, unwilling to take his eyes off her.

"Your Majesty, it's your turn to read the Three Character Classic to little Hongzhan."

An Lingrong seemed not to notice his abnormality and gently poked the emperor.

That night the emperor stayed in Yonghe Palace and fell asleep holding An Lingrong in his arms.

After that, he summoned Noble Lady Fucha, Concubine Jing and Noble Lady Xin to the West Warm Pavilion to serve him in bed.

The promise to the Queen Mother will be carried out one by one.

During this period, he accompanied the Queen for meals three times and An Lingrong for meals once, but did not stay overnight.

She stayed in Hua Fei's Yiku Palace for the next five days.

"Your Majesty, Huanbi from Suiyuxuan has recovered and has been staying in her room making clothes for the past few days."

"Okay, I understand."

Since Huanbi has the ambition to improve herself, why not give her a helping hand?

A few days later, An Lingrong personally packed a box of osmanthus cake and brought it to the Yangxin Palace.

"How come Rong'er has time to come and see me?"

Ever since the emperor stopped favoring Concubine Wan, the Yangxin Palace has received a lot of soups and drinks every day.

He now feels upset when he sees those things.

"Your Majesty, I've been forgetting things since I gave birth to Hongzhan. Today, when I heard Haba Mama talking about her eldest grandson's hundred-day banquet, I remembered that we didn't celebrate Hongzhan's hundred-day banquet."

According to ancestral rules, the prince's third-day bath, full-month, hundred-day and first-year birthday should all be celebrated with great fanfare.

The emperor thought about it carefully and realized that Hongzhan’s third-day bath was perfunctory because Concubine Shu was in a coma, and the full moon and hundred-day baths were not held at all.

It's not that his father and son had a weak relationship in the past. The third prince, the only one who stayed by his side, was being watched by the queen, so there was no need for him to worry about these things.

The emperor put down the memorial, and his dark eyes scraped at Su Peisheng who was pretending to be dead like a knife.

"You little dog slave, why didn't you remind me?"

"I have failed to perform my duties properly. Your Majesty and Consort Shu, please punish me."

In fact, it is indeed his responsibility.

At that time, he suffered inhuman torture in the rockery outside the Suiyuxuan. Blinded by hatred, he completely lost his composure.

"You little dog slave, go down and get twenty lashes."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute. I came to see you not with the intention of asking Eunuch Su to be punished."

"Since the sun has risen today, I would like to invite you to take a walk in the Imperial Garden."

The emperor, who was already afraid of Concubine Hua's pestering, agreed immediately when he heard that her request was so simple.

"Su Peisheng, hurry up and get ready. I want to visit the Imperial Garden with Concubine Shu."

After receiving the order, Su Peisheng looked at An Lingrong with gratitude.

The Concubine Shu is so kind that she can't bear to see his old body suffer.

He silently decided that when his master gave rewards to Yonghe Palace in the future, he would pick out the best items.

As soon as the two of them left the house, An Lingrong stuffed the blanket from Haba Mama's hand into the emperor's hand.

"Rong'er, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, since you missed Hongzhan's hundred-day banquet, you must accompany him to visit the garden."

As she spoke, she adjusted the emperor's stiff hands to make the curious Hongzhan more comfortable.

As the saying goes, men prefer grandchildren to children.

But considering his age as an ordinary family, he should favor Hongzhan.

Before An Lingrong came to the Yangxin Palace, she specifically asked Doctor Wei.

He said that it would be no problem for a kid as old as Hongzhan to stay outside for an hour.

Aunt Baha also said that children from poor families did not stay indoors all day.

Spending more time outside will make you stronger.

In order to prevent Hongzhan from feeling uncomfortable, Xiao Linzi also brought out a big basket.

As long as Hongzhan yawns, there is a place to sleep.

Seeing that Concubine Shu had brought a little ancestor with her, the tactful Su Peisheng naturally sent a lot more people.

The group marched through the long street and headed straight for Qianqiu Pavilion.

On the way, An Lingrong expressed her concern for the emperor in a gentle voice from time to time.

"Your Majesty, Hongzhan has a good appetite and is a little heavy in the hand. How about letting the wet nurse hold him?"

"Your Majesty, I see that your forehead is sweating. Do you need to rest?"

"Your Majesty, how about I hold you instead?"

......

The sincere and caring tone of Concubine Shu made the Emperor unwilling to let go even when they got to the pavilion, and he just kept holding the Sixth Prince.

The subsequent tea and snacks were naturally taken care of by An Lingrong.

They made so much noise that Huanbi, having heard the news, stood behind a tree and looked at them enviously.

Suddenly an envious voice came from beside her.

"Which palace sister is this? You are here to see the Empress Shufei as well, right? The Empress's conferment ceremony a few days ago was quite grand."

"I came to see...to see the Concubine Shu."

"Empress Shufei is so lucky. She has only been in the palace for about a year and a half, and she has already climbed from a concubine to a concubine."

"The honor and favor bestowed upon Consort Shu is comparable only to Consort Yi, the late emperor's favorite concubine."

"Hey! Sister, what do you mean?"

"It is said that the elder Guo Luoluo entered the palace first... the younger Guo Luoluo... the sisters joined forces..."

Seeing the light in Huanbi's eyes growing brighter and brighter, the palace maid who had completed her task disappeared behind a nearby rockery.
