There are five princes and three princesses.
Concubine Hui is also pregnant now.
She had almost forgotten how it felt when her schemes had caused those concubines to lose their children.
But now that the Queen Mother suddenly brought up this matter, Qingying was a little surprised.
"Aunt, do you mean you don't want any more children to be born in the harem?"
The Queen Mother casually picked up a jade ruyi from the side and held it in her palm.
After several moments of deliberation, she finally spoke, "The throne of emperor is a rare achievement. Auntie secretly wonders, even if it's not for the glory of the Ulanara family, you wouldn't want someone else to inherit the Qing Dynasty in the future, right?"
"Yongji and Yonghu are growing up, and the princes of the concubines in the palace are also growing up. If we let them do what they want, wouldn't it just add more difficulties and dangers to the children's future?"
"If it's according to my wishes, you can have concubines in the harem, but you really don't need too many children. Otherwise, if the situation of the nine sons competing for the throne during the reign of Emperor Shengzu is repeated, wouldn't that be a waste of disaster?"
Qingying listened silently to the Queen Mother's words, with a slight ripple in her heart.
Yes.
Isn't the safest thing to do to eliminate all future troubles by making sure there are no more offspring in the harem?
But Qingying was somewhat reluctant.
The reason for this reluctance is naturally not because of being soft-hearted.
When it comes to cruelty, even the empress dowager in front of me cannot compare to me.
But those who can become emperors are naturally not simple people.
Although Hongli did not seem to have achieved the same great achievements as the previous emperor, he was by no means a complete fool.
And anything in this world, once you take action, will leave traces.
If you really act recklessly, the harem's offspring will wither away.
This inevitably aroused the emperor's suspicion.
If he found out anything, even if Qingying were to live her life again, she would not be able to escape unscathed.
The best way is to sit back and wait.
Driving away the tiger and letting it devour the wolf is the only way to consolidate one's position as the center of the palace.
With thoughts racing through her mind, Qingying tightened her sleeves. "Aunt, I have a different opinion on this matter."
"Aunt, I am the Queen. In the eyes of the Emperor, I am the most virtuous person in the harem."
"I don't ask the emperor to have any affection for me, as long as I am a qualified queen in his eyes, that's all."
"If this impression were to collapse one day, it would surely bring about irreparable disaster."
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. I can't guarantee that the people below are clean, so just don't do it."
"After all, whether or not a child can be raised to be intelligent is a very difficult matter."
"Based on the skills of the concubines in the harem today, I don't think they can be my opponent."
Qingying's voice was faint, her eyes drifting into the void, and the words she spoke made the empress dowager nod in satisfaction.
"Since you have already made plans, I will not interfere. We will always have a future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jianqiu came in quickly. "Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, the Emperor is here and he's almost here."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Just invite the Emperor in."
The Empress Dowager has always been extremely lenient towards the Emperor.
Therefore, when Hongli came to the Yangxin Palace now, he was not as restrained as before.
He was already happy that Hailan gave birth to a baby safely.
The smile on his face when he walked in could hardly be concealed.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager."
"Greetings to the Emperor."
They both spoke, and Qingying gave up her seat for Hongli to sit down.
The other party then said, "Shupin is giving birth. Please trouble the Empress Dowager to look after her in the Yanxi Palace. Your son is very grateful to the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager had tea served to Hongli, then said with a smile, "They are all your children. It is only natural that I should pay more attention to them."
"Yes, my son went to see the Fifth Prince. He was born with a chubby face and was very cute."
"Yes, this child is older. Concubine Shu went through a lot of hardship during the birth."
The Empress Dowager had a hint of meaning, and Hongli understood it very well.
"Empress Dowager, there are not many children in the harem, and Concubine Shu has worked hard. My son is interested in me. I would like to promote her to Concubine Shu and have her attend the canonization ceremony on the fifth prince's full moon day. What do you think, Empress Dowager?"
"Shupin is a kind and gentle person. When the Empress was pregnant with Yonghu, she assisted in managing the six palaces. The Emperor appreciates her hard work during the pregnancy, and I am also eager for her contributions. Promoting her to Shupin is the right thing to do. I think it is very good."
