While the Queen is alive, she will not be given the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

This is customary.

But this is a posthumous title, something for the dead to see, so why should Qingying care about it?

Not to mention posthumous titles, even if Concubine Chun was still alive and Hongli wanted to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on her, she would not care.

But not caring does not mean allowing it.

It is hard to say whether he would take action personally in private and kill Concubine Chun.

"Your Majesty, I am your wife, so naturally, everything comes first."

"Yong Zhang and Jing Yan are the Emperor's children, and they are also my children. Naturally, I have to think about them."

"Well, then we'll do as you say. Concubine Chun will be posthumously named Imperial Concubine Chunhui, and the funeral ceremony will be conducted according to the rites for an Imperial Concubine."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After receiving Hongli's oral instructions and considering the funeral of Consort Chunhui, he suspended court for three days.

The Imperial Household Department has always been the most discerning, so naturally they dare not slack off.

The funeral was held with great ceremony.

It was seven days later when the golden coffin was moved.

The mourning clothes in the palace were completely removed, and the Forbidden City finally returned to its former splendor.

Before he had finished paying his respects that day, Hongli suddenly walked in.

Everyone just paid their respects, and Hongli took Qingying's seat, sat down with his horse and sword, and glanced around the scene, without any change in his expression.

"Noble Consort Chunhui has passed away, leaving behind a pair of children, Yongzhang and Jingyan. The children are still young. I went to see them yesterday. They hadn't changed their clothes in who knows how many days. The servants below are not serving them well enough."

Qingying's eyes turned slightly, and she stood up and knelt. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been busy with the funeral ceremonies these days and have neglected this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qingying is the queen and the biological mother of the prince and princess.

When the children were wronged, it was natural that the blame would fall on Queen Qingying.

Seeing Qingying kneeling down, everyone hurriedly stood up and knelt.

Hongli rubbed the beads on his hands and said, "Queen, please get up. I know you are busy every day, and I don't mean to blame you."

"Yes, I thank you, Your Majesty."

After Qingying stood up and sat down, Hongli continued, "The children are still young. Without their mother to protect them, life will naturally be difficult."

"I'm thinking that although Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui has passed away, there are still many high-ranking concubines in the palace. I plan to find a foster mother for the two of them. Does the Empress have any suggestions?"

Foster mother?

Qingying was surprised when she heard this, but not overly shocked.

Hongli himself grew up without a mother, so when it comes to difficulties, he understands them best.

Naturally, I understand why the other party is determined to find a foster mother for the two children.

only…

The funeral has only been over for a few days, and he is already in such a hurry to find another adoptive mother. I'm afraid someone is doing this deliberately.

After pondering for a moment, Qingying said, "Your Majesty, all the sisters who hold the position of concubines and imperial consorts have sons and daughters. If you want to pick someone who can raise two heirs at once, I really can't think of anyone."

Hongli glanced at everyone again and said, "Yongzhang is now living in the prince's residence. It won't be a big deal if you just take care of him."

"And it's not necessary for one person to look after both of them. It's also feasible to have them in two palaces, Concubine Mei."

Since giving birth to Yonghuang, Concubine Mei's body has been completely damaged and there is no possibility of her getting pregnant again.

Over the years, she had only seen Hongli a few times, and almost never had the chance to sleep with him.

At this moment, when he heard the other party suddenly calling him, he was stunned for a moment.

Then she quickly stood up and knelt, "Your Highness is here."

"Yonghuang and Jingyun are of similar age, so they should be able to get along well. You've taken good care of Yonghuang, and I intend to entrust Jingyun to your care as well. Are you willing?"

The emperor spoke, seemingly seeking opinion, but in reality, how could Concubine Mei refuse?

Concubine Mei paused for a moment, then responded, "Yes, I obey your order."

When Concubine Mei stood up and sat down, Hongli's gaze turned again and fell on Concubine Hui.

He rubbed his fingertips for a moment, but for some reason he didn't say a word.

He paused again before asking, "Is there anyone willing to take care of Yong Zhang?"

A prince who has already started studying has the memory of his mother.
