"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will have someone inform Hongshi of your intentions."
"Well, I am tired, Queen, please kneel down and pay your respects."
"Yes, the concubine is retiring."
After the queen left, the emperor paused for a moment again with his pen on the rice paper. He finally let out a long sigh and said no more.
……
That night, Hongli went to Qinglan Courtyard to take a look at the child, then turned and went into Qionghua Courtyard.
When I entered the room, I saw that only the wife was in the main room.
Hearing the noise, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to the prince."
"That's it, get up."
Hongli waved his hand and walked to the main seat and sat down. "What is it that Fu Jin invited me here?"
A hint of reluctance flashed across Fucha Langya's face.
But when he thought of what Su Lian said, a sense of determination rose in his heart again.
She walked over to sit opposite Hongli, forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, on the day that Sister Qingying gave birth, Huang served you. This matter..."
"I have already said that Huang is vicious and unfit to be a concubine in the palace. Not banishing her from the palace is already a special favor from me. From now on, let her remain your slave."
"My lord..."
Fu Cha Langya looked embarrassed.
But I can't help but persuade.
"Your Highness, I know that Huang said something wrong and made you unhappy, but after all, she was my dowry. Even if she didn't have any merit, she still worked hard."
"Besides, it's already a done deal that she'll be serving the prince. If the prince really keeps her as a slave, it would be bad if the news got out..."
Hongli frowned and said, "It's just a servant's business, what's wrong with that?"
"Your Highness, Sister Qingying has given birth to our eldest son. I am very happy and consider her contribution. However, if word gets out that Huang Shi was denied her position in the imperial court because of Sister Qingying's birth, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for Sister Qingying either."
"This is an internal matter of the palace. How could it be spread outside the palace? Fu Jin is too worried."
Fucha Langya lowered her head slightly. "Your Highness, what you said is true, but Your Highness, rumors are terrifying. Sister Qingying gave birth to a child, and Huang Shi slept with her. These details have already spread throughout the palace's backyard. No one can guarantee that some ignorant person will let it slip."
"Huang Shi alone is not worth mentioning, but the reputation of the prince and Sister Qingying cannot be damaged because of this one person."
"Please, Your Majesty, show me mercy and grant me the position of a concubine."
Fu Cha Langya's words finally moved Hongli.
After a long while, he nodded and said, "Forget it, let's do as Fu Jin said. However, there is no need to grant me another place to live. I will just live with Fu Jin in Qionghua Courtyard."
"Yes, I understand."
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
According to the custom, when a new baby is born, a bathing ceremony must be performed three days after birth.
And it needs to be grand.
Not to mention that this child is not only the eldest son of the palace, but also the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Naturally, the third-day baptism ceremony is held more solemnly.
The princes and ministers of each family had to send people.
But in the Qingying moon, I couldn’t get out of bed and couldn’t witness the third day bathing ceremony in person. I didn’t know what it was like.
In just half an hour,惢心 came in with her wet nurse, a happy look on her face.
"master."
Qingying motioned for the wet nurse Hun'er to be placed next to her and said with a smile, "How is it? Today's scene is quite lively, isn't it?"
"That's right, Master. The palace has issued an imperial decree that our prince is now Prince Bao."
Qingying had already known about this, so she wasn't surprised.
But before he could open his mouth,惢心 spoke again, "Master, the Emperor has granted our little prince a name."
"what is it call?"
"Master, I don't understand either. I only heard the imperial edict, and it seemed to mention the jade family of Jiqi, called Yongji."
"I also heard from Eunuch Xia, who delivered the imperial edict, that this name was arrived at after consultation between the Emperor and the Empress. The Empress said that you, my master, would definitely like it."
"Jiqi is a jade."
Qingying muttered a few words silently, then nodded, "Your Majesty, it's thoughtful of you. However, I'm not in a good condition to move right now. I can only wait until I'm out of confinement before returning to the palace to express my gratitude."
惢心 smiled, turned around and took out a thin booklet and handed it to Qingying, "Master, this is a reward from the Emperor, please take a look."
