Two young eunuchs opened the painting "Emperor Kangxi Hunting Tigers at Tieling Hill Fort".

Yinzhen is standing in the center of the picture, with Prince Guo accompanying him on his left.

Yinzhen pointed to the tiger in the painting and said, "The Emperor was truly brave and valiant back then, and the artist painted it so meticulously."

With a smile on his face, he said in a strange tone, "Seventeenth brother's archery skills were taught by Father himself. They have always been very good, right?"

Prince Guo smiled and explained tremblingly: "My Royal Brother, you are joking. My Royal Brother was taught by the number one Baturu in the Qing Dynasty.

Your Majesty, Father, only knows that my younger brother is young and cannot stand a strict teacher like Baturu, so he only gives me some pointers occasionally.

Yinzhen stared at the figure of the brave man shooting arrows in the painting.

"I would rather have a strict father than a strict teacher."

Then he turned around, stared at Prince Guo and sighed, "It's a pity that I don't even have a loving mother."

Prince Guo was too timid to speak, so Yinzhen asked the eunuch to put the painting away.

Looking at Su Peisheng, he said, "I have already personally mounted the painting 'Lady Guo's Spring Outing' that Prince Guo liked last time. You can go back and hang it in the palace later."

Prince Guo knelt down quickly and said happily, "Thank you, my dear brother, for your gift."

Yinzhen picked up the green jade Buddhist beads and looked at the pomegranates in full bloom outside the window.

The bright red color made Yinzhen feel comfortable. After all, Liu Hua's pregnancy had always been relatively stable in the harem.

She didn't suffer from morning sickness, and besides, Nian Gengyao had another good news from the southwest.

Yinzhen recalled Hua Fei's recent tenderness and affection, and thought about the good news from Zhuozi Mountain last year.

Concubine Hua has never asked for credit, it turns out she really cares about me a lot.

Yinzhen asked Prince Guo, "The weather is still quite cool, and Nian Gengyao has been victorious again and again. It seems that the Qing Dynasty has many elite soldiers and generals. Why not organize a hunting expedition?"

Prince Guo hesitated and said, "But the Mulan Autumn Hunt is not at this time."

Yinzhen laughed heartily and boasted, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been frugal and have never gone hunting.

Unlike my father in Baiyangdian, who did it more than 40 times.

If I don't visit the four palaces there for a long time, I'm afraid they'll rot away."

Prince Guo also knew that Yinzhen was just asking him and he had no right to make the decision.

He quickly complimented him, "My Royal Brother is diligent and loves the people like his own children. This kind of thing that enhances the country's prestige must be done."

Yinzhen snorted, remembering the incident in which Zhen Huan and Noble Lady Fucha were forced to have miscarriages, and said disdainfully, "These small border countries have been dissatisfied with our Qing Dynasty for a long time.

I still hold a grudge against Korea. Let them come and see the might of the Qing Dynasty."

[Red Lotus Waterside Pavilion]

Su Peisheng bowed his waist and greeted Liu Hua with a smile on his face: "Empress Qian, the emperor has personally issued an order, requiring you to accompany him in the Dinghe River siege."

Liu Hua was once itching to go and wondered why Yinzhen didn't go on the Mulan Autumn Hunt to experience the beauty of the grassland.

Now it has come true, but it has turned into the white reeds and lotus flowers of Baiyangdian.

Dongli said with some concern: "My queen is pregnant, it is not suitable to move."

Su Peisheng patiently explained, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has examined the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital and found that your Majesty is in good health and has been pregnant for five months.

In addition, a special decree was requested to allow the Empress to accompany the Empress Dowager, sitting together in a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people.

It shouldn’t be a big deal.”

Liu Hua nodded happily and asked with great interest, "Can the families of the concubines from the Shuiwei Palace come this time?"

Su Peisheng looked embarrassed and replied respectfully to Liu Hua, "Generally speaking, those who come are male ministers.

But Her Majesty can ask for permission, and Her Majesty Hua did so, sending her sister, Miss Shishao, to come."

Liu Hua shook her head tactfully. Her mother had been to the palace many times, which also eased her longing for her.

Besides, she doesn’t have any sisters, so why can’t she really ask her sister-in-law and her younger sister to come over?

Moreover, considering the previous experience of Yinzhen's treatment of Chunyuan, Liu Hua still remained honest even though she saw her pregnant belly.

So he asked Dongli to escort Su Peisheng out properly and gave him a few silver notes.

After eating a few bowls of honey-flourished Sunai flowers and a handful of jujube flower pastries, Aunt Zhuxi became very alert and refused to let any food in.

Cai Ju said with a sad face: "Aunt, can I eat it? Madam, there are a few plates of cakes prepared. If you don't eat them, they will go bad."

Zhu Xi said helplessly: "That depends on what the Queen wants."

Liu Hua nodded reluctantly, and Caiju ran out happily with Dongli's permission.

After a while, Hongli came in holding a large stack of rice paper.

He bowed to Liu Hua and said, "Mother, you've been taking good care of yourself since you became pregnant, and you're in good health. But I'm still worried, so I wrote a lot of blessing characters myself."

Liu Hua took the separated rice paper, looked at the vigorous regular script, and praised: "It's written very well, with a bit of the style of the Empress."

Hongli was stunned and said to Liu Hua: "Son, I thought mother would say that you have the style of the emperor."

Liu Hua placed the rice paper on the table and raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Hongli, he said, "Mother has accepted the gift, what's the matter?"

Hongli immediately knelt down and admitted his fault, saying sincerely: "It was my fault that I made my mother angry.

The son hasn't seen the emperor for a long time. I heard that the emperor finally mentioned his son.

My son is very happy that my third brother is going to Shuiwei this time. But my son is already 14 years old this year, and his archery skills are a little better than my third brother's. He won't embarrass my mother. My son... wants to go too."

Liu Hua personally helped Hongli up and coaxed him carefully, "It's not a big deal. If you want to go, go ahead. But I will tell the Queen. If the Queen says no, then I have no other choice."

At this moment, Yinzhen, who was accustomed to eavesdropping, walked in slowly and said with a smile in his eyes, "It is shameless to brag about your archery skills in front of your own mother.

If you don’t shoot a few ducks, I won’t let you go easily!

When he saw Yinzhen coming in, Hongli no longer felt the inferiority complex he had in the previous two years in the Old Summer Palace.

He even started to joke, "If Your Majesty allows me to go, I will shoot ten ducks for you."

Yinzhen smiled indifferently and pointed at Hongli's forehead.

"My son is only fit to shoot ducks, not deer. You don't have to call me the Emperor."

Hongli quickly ran to the soft couch beside Liu Hua, leaned gently on Liu Hua's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mother, look at the emperor, he bullies me. You must make the decision for me and not be partial."

Liu Hua smiled awkwardly, looking at the father and son in front of him, and called them great actors in his heart.

But looking at the lively and cute Hongli and the somewhat thick-bearded Yinzhen, he immediately made a choice.

"Yes, your mother will make the decision for you right away..."

【Lian Xi Joyful Place】

Yunxia comforted the tearful Lingfeng and said, "My lady, please do not be sad. I just heard that our Kingdom of Korea will participate in the Emperor's Dinghe Water Surrounding."

A ray of light flashed in Lingfeng's already dim eyes, and he picked up the bronze mirror to look at his haggard face.

Frowning, he said sadly, "What would the young general do if he saw me like this?"

Yunxia tried to break Lingfeng's fantasy, "My dear, maybe the general has already returned to his country. How could he come to see you again? Besides, when you were chosen as a tribute girl, the general didn't say he would take you away."

Ling Feng sneered a few times and whispered angrily, "He was originally an envoy from the Qing Dynasty, and he came to my country of Korea to attend a banquet.

I was just performing a dance, but they took a fancy to me, so the king wanted to give me to their emperor.

If the young general stops him, what will happen to his family?

Lingfeng murmured and tightly stroked the Haeju Changshan, a unique piece of Korean culture, on his sleeve.

"I must go. I'm not under house arrest yet. Even if it's a temptation..."
