"The Emperor's decisions are naturally always good."

But for some reason, it sounded a bit insincere.

The emperor nodded and said, "Then it is settled. Hongli, I will decide the name of the child. You may return home today."

Hongli did not hesitate, bowed again and said, "Yes, your son will take his leave."

Hongli left, and the emperor waited until only the couple were left in the palace before he spoke again.

"Why do I look at the Queen but she doesn't seem happy?"

The Queen curled her lips and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Qingying gave birth to a child, and I was thinking about giving her a reward, so I didn't react for a while."

"You and I have been married for many years, why do we have to be so formal?"

The jade beads in the emperor's hand made a slight sound. "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The queen was already feeling impatient at this moment.

If the other party really wanted to confer the title of prince on me, why would he have to ask for my opinion?

I'm afraid this trip today is just to test myself.

If I had no objection, the other party would probably suspect that I, the queen, had already secretly contacted the Fourth Prince because of Qingying and was only eyeing his throne.

The Queen paused for a moment as her thoughts turned, then said, "Your Majesty, Hongshi is older and has no children yet. But if you only confer the title of nobility on Hongli and ignore Hongshi, I'm afraid that this child will be sad."

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Hongshi is now under your care, so naturally you can't treat him badly. You should make him a prince. What do you think, Majesty?"

Still speaking in such tentative words, the Queen no longer wanted to say anything more.

"Your Majesty has made the decision. This is a matter of state affairs, and I am not in a position to comment further."

"Alright, then let him be the Prince of He."

"Yes."

...

Qinglan Courtyard.

Qingying was leaning on the bed holding the child when Hongli suddenly strode in excitedly.

Before anyone knew what had happened, the other person walked up to Qingying in a few steps.

"Qingying, the Emperor has bestowed upon me the title of Prince Bao!"

"Prince Bao?"

Qingying was stunned. Before she could say anything, the child in her arms was suddenly frightened by the loud noise and started crying loudly.

Qingying lowered her head, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

Holding the child and shaking him, Qingying looked up and smiled, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"You and I are one, so we should rejoice together."

Hongli looked at the quiet child and felt happy.

He didn't get to see the child last night, so this was the first time he saw him.

He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, leaning halfway over. He looked carefully for a long time before saying, "Why is this child so red?"

Qingying chuckled and said, "Your Highness, most babies are like this when they are just born. They will be fine after a few days of care. Your Highness, don't worry."

He reached out and gently poked the child's cheek, causing his mouth to move, but he fell asleep again.

Hongli then lowered his voice and spoke again.

"Although the matter of conferring the title of Prince Bao has only been spoken by the Emperor, I think it is already a done deal. Qingying, this is all thanks to you and our child."

"And when the Emperor talked about this today, the Empress Dowager was also here."

Qingying couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's last sentence.

But when the queen is mentioned, one must think that this matter was discussed between himself and the queen.

Such thoughts would not do any harm to her, so she naturally would not deny anything.

"The Empress is my aunt, so naturally everything she does is for His Majesty."

"You are right. I am naturally extremely grateful to the Empress Dowager."

Hongli nodded, his expression brightening up for a moment. "The Emperor said he would personally give our child a name!"

Qingying was not surprised.

His son is the eldest grandson, and the emperor personally gave him a name, so it doesn’t matter.

Besides, her own child didn't have a name before, so she naturally didn't care what he was called now.

Just the appearance of this child is enough to make me give everything for him.

"Your Majesty is very kind. When I am out of confinement, I will go and thank you properly."

"Of course, the Empress Dowager must be eager to see our child."
