I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

After An Lingrong returned from her confinement, the Emperor became increasingly fond of visiting Jingyang Palace. Every time he set foot there, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

It was a sunny afternoon that day. The emperor had just finished his government affairs and could not wait to come to Jingyang Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived!" As soon as the eunuch's shrill voice fell, An Lingrong came out to greet him.

"My beloved concubine, there is no need to be so polite." The emperor helped An Lingrong up with a gentle look in his eyes.

An Lingrong smiled slightly, "Your Majesty has arrived early today, and I was just about to feed Sixth Prince."

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Then I will come and see our little one."

The two walked hand in hand into the inner room, only to see the Sixth Prince babbling in the cradle. Seeing his father coming, the little guy immediately smiled and stretched out his chubby little hands for a hug.

The emperor couldn't help laughing and carefully picked up his son. The Sixth Prince immediately put his arms around his father's neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, this brat!" The emperor laughed heartily, "It seems he wants to please father."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Sixth Prince loves Father the most. Every time he hears that you are coming, he gets so excited that he can't sleep."

The emperor felt a warm feeling in his heart and patted his son's back gently. The Sixth Prince yawned and slowly fell asleep in his father's arms.

"Come, I'll hold him, you go and rest for a while." The emperor said softly to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was a little surprised, "How can I let Your Majesty take care of the child?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I also want to experience what it's like to be a father."

An Lingrong was moved and nodded slightly before leaving.

The Emperor sat in a rocking chair by the window, holding his sleeping son. The sunlight bathed the two of them, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere. He hummed a little tune, recalling the time when his mother would coax him to sleep as a child.

Unconsciously, the emperor fell asleep. When he woke up, he found An Lingrong looking at him and his son tenderly.

"My beloved, how long have I slept?" The emperor felt a little embarrassed.

An Lingrong smiled and said, "It will only take an hour. Your Majesty looks very tired, I cannot bear to disturb you."

The emperor sighed, "Yes, the court is busy with affairs, and it is rare to have a moment of relaxation like this."

An Lingrong considerately massaged the emperor's shoulders, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Please take care of your health."

The emperor held An Lingrong's hand and said affectionately, "With you and the child by my side, I feel very happy."

An Lingrong's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "Your Highness, too."

At this moment, the emperor felt an unprecedented warmth and contentment. Here, he was no longer a high and mighty emperor, but merely an ordinary husband and father. This ordinary yet precious happiness made him yearn for his time in Jingyang Palace even more.

An Lingrong pondered this, a flicker of worry in her eyes. She recalled the plot hint the system had given her: the Emperor would die in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign. With the Sixth Prince still young, the court would undoubtedly be in turmoil.

"No, this must not happen." She made up her mind and looked firmly at the emperor who was teasing the Sixth Prince.

"Your Majesty, I have just obtained a kind of high-quality tea. Would you like to try it?" An Lingrong asked softly.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh? What kind of tea is it? I'd like to taste it carefully."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, turned around and told the palace maid to prepare.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly took out a fitness pill from the system space, crushed it carefully and sprinkled it into the tea.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." An Lingrong offered the teacup with both hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

The emperor took the teacup and sniffed it gently: "What a nice smell! What kind of tea is this?"

"This is the Longjing tea I got from Jiangnan. It is said to have health-preserving effects." An Lingrong said with a smile.

The emperor nodded and took a sip. "Mm, it's indeed fragrant and delicious. Rong'er is thoughtful."

An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God that the emperor didn't notice anything unusual.

An Lingrong lowered her head shyly, but was secretly proud in her heart.

"Your Majesty, look how cute the Sixth Prince is." An Lingrong changed the subject and pointed to the child who was sleeping soundly in the cradle.

The emperor followed her gaze, a loving smile appearing on his face: "Yes, my Sixth Prince is truly adorable."

An Lingrong's heart moved, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request."

"My dear concubine, please feel free to speak." Qianlong said with a smile.

"I would like to ask the emperor to give a name to the little prince." An Lingrong's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Let's call him Hongxi! I hope he can carry forward the legacy of our ancestors and create a prosperous era."

An Lingrong was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise and wise! Hongxi will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Gyeongin Palace

Upon hearing the news that the Sixth Prince had been given a name, the Queen was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the porcelain pieces scattered everywhere.

"What a great An Lingrong! She actually received such great favor from the Emperor!" The Queen gritted her teeth, anger flashing in her eyes.

The nanny beside her tremblingly advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. Be careful not to hurt your body."

The Queen took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She sneered, "Oh, this is just the beginning. The Emperor is paying more and more attention to An Lingrong and her son. It seems that it is time to take action."

She pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Go, invite Concubine Qi to me."

Not long after, Concubine Qi arrived. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. I wonder what you have summoned me for?"

The Queen smiled and pulled Concubine Qi to sit down, saying affectionately, "Concubine Qi, did you know that the Sixth Prince has just been given a name?"

Concubine Qi was stunned when she heard this, then she showed envy: "Really? That's really cause for celebration."

Seeing this, the Queen's eyes shone with a gloom. She sighed and said, "Alas, sister, you don't know. Ever since An Lingrong gave birth to the Sixth Prince, the Emperor has doted on her. Look, she's only a little girl, but he's already given her a name. And look at our Third Prince, he's already this old, and he still doesn't have a proper job."

After hearing this, Concubine Qi's expression changed immediately. She bit her lip, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that the fire was almost boiling, the Queen added another handful of firewood: "Sister, you must be careful. If An Lingrong becomes favored again, I'm afraid even your position will be in jeopardy."

Concubine Qi was shocked when she heard this: "How...how is this possible?"

The Queen said meaningfully, "Life is unpredictable. However..." She lowered her voice, "If anything happens to the Sixth Prince, I'm sure the Emperor's favor will fade."

Concubine Qi heard the hidden meaning and hesitated, "But...will this..."

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from outside. It turned out that the emperor was taking An Lingrong and the Sixth Prince to play in the imperial garden.

Concubine Qi looked at the happy family of three, a flicker of jealousy in her eyes. She clenched her fists and made up her mind.

Concubine Qi stood up and left in a hurry. The Queen looked at her back, a hint of pride in her eyes.
