Hearing what they said, Hongli became a little anxious, "No way, Huang Ama, E Niang and Uncle Thirteen have not aged, they are still the same as before."
"People will eventually grow old one day. If I tell the First Emperor to seek immortality and ask for immortality all his life, wouldn't he die in the end?" Yinzhen said with a smile: "Okay, let's go over and have a meal. I'm already hungry.
.”
"Huang Ama." Hongli suddenly walked up to Yinzhen, took off the jade ring in his hand and handed it to him: "I know that Huang Ama has always liked this jade ring. If it suddenly disappeared, he would definitely be reluctant to part with it, so
I want to return it to Emperor Ama."
Yinzhen was surprised and couldn't help but laugh: "It's just a ring, there's nothing to be reluctant to part with. Besides, since I gave this ring to you, you just have to wear it. Don't say anything else about giving it back to me. I won't give it back."
As for the stingy ones, they can’t even bear to part with a ring.”
Hongli shook his head repeatedly and explained nervously: "I don't mean that, I just don't want Huang Ama to lose what she loves."
"Everything in this world has its gains and losses. I got your outstanding bravery in the Ice Ice Competition, so I lost this jade ring. Isn't it fair?" Seeing Hongli, he wanted to say more, and he took the jade ring.
He put it on Hongli's thumb again and said: "Keep it and don't take it off easily again, you know?"
Seeing that Yinzhen's attitude was so resolute, Hongli had no choice but to agree. Yunxiang looked aside for a while, shook his head and smiled: "My brother is really more and more envious of the emperor for having such a sensible son like Hongli."
Yinzhen smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were full of pride. As a father, the happiest thing is to have outstanding sons and heirs, and even the emperor is no exception to this.
Although this dinner was not as grand as the lunch, it was extraordinarily warm. Hongli and Yunxiang still hit it off as always. They seemed to have endless things to talk about, but they left Yinzhen and Ling Ruo aside in the cold.
When the palace servants were removing the dishes, Hongli suddenly turned his head and said to Yinzhen: "Huang Ama, when will I be able to help Huang Ama handle the government affairs like my second brother?"
Yinzhen said in surprise: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Hongli said seriously: "My son has grown up, and he should take care of Emperor Ama, instead of staying in the palace every day and doing nothing except studying and practicing martial arts."
Ling Ruo scolded lightly: "Hongli, you are still young and don't understand many things. We will talk about these in the future."
Hongli shook his head and said: "Mother, my son is already fifteen and is no longer a child. Uncle Thirteen just said that the emperor is worried about the government affairs every day and corrects memorials day and night. I really can't bear to see the emperor.
Ma is so busy."
"But you..." Ling Ruogang said a few words, but Yinzhen raised his hand to stop him, "Hongli, please tell me, what can you do to help Huang Ama?"
"I don't understand anything now, but I can learn." Although Hongli was good at reading, he knew in his heart that books are not the same as reality, and relying solely on the knowledge in books is useless.
Yunxiang said at the right time: "Your Majesty, I remember that when you were about the same age as Hongli, you started to follow Huang Ama."
Yinzhen thought for a while and nodded: "Forget it, after you return to the palace, you can stay with me and see how I review the memorials. As for the affairs of the court, we will wait until you are old enough to build a palace."
Hongli knelt down happily and said, "Thank you so much, Emperor Ama."
Compared with Hongli's somewhat ignorant expression of gratitude, Ling Ruo was deeply moved. Yinzhen's words clearly asked Hongli to learn how to approve memorials, and the only person who needs to learn this is the future prince. Does Yinzhen really have the intention?
Legend has it that it was located in Hongli? Thinking of this, Ling Ruo's heart beat wildly and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yunxiang lowered his head with a special smile on his lips and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time for me to retreat."
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Let's go, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, I will go for a walk with you." Then he said to Ling Ruo: "Concubine Xi, please go back to Wanfang He'an with Hongli first."
After Ling Ruo agreed, Yinzhen walked out first, followed closely by Yunxiang. There was silence all the way until he was approaching the gate of the garden. Yinzhen stopped and said, "Why don't you talk to me yet?"
Tell the truth?"
A hint of smile flashed in Yunxiang's eyes and he said: "My brother doesn't understand what the emperor means."
Yinzhen turned around and asked sternly under the silvery white moonlight that filled the sky: "You thirteen old man, you still want to be cunning in front of me. Don't forget that I have watched you grow up. Yes, I am indeed ten thousand."
He has been with Huang Ama since he was four years old, but he has not had any involvement in government affairs."
Yunxiang was not frightened by the harshness of his words. Instead, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but even if my younger brother is playing tricks on me, the matter of allowing Si elder brother to learn from the emperor about reviewing memorials is something that the emperor himself agreed to.
My brother has nothing to do with it."
Looking at Yunxiang's cunning eyes, Yinzhen was both angry and funny. He couldn't keep his serious face, shook his head and said: "You, you, you are really getting more and more presumptuous. You dare to talk glibly in front of me."
After Yunxiang laughed for a while, he said seriously: "Your Majesty should know that Si Age is an excellent choice. It is not a bad thing to let him learn earlier."
Yinzhen signaled the palace people to step back and said: "It seems that Hongli is indeed good at the moment, but he is still too young in the end. There are too many uncertainties in the future. I still need to take another look. What's more, if he establishes the prince early, it will not be good for Hongli."
Historically speaking, it is not a good thing. You must not forget the disputes that Emperor Ama had in his later years."
"How could I forget, but not establishing a crown prince does not mean that there will be no disputes. What happened today is a good proof."
"You mean Hongshi?" After saying this, Yinzhen shook his head and said: "Judging from his current performance, he is not the candidate for the crown prince in my mind."
Yunxiang said sincerely: "But the second elder brother doesn't know all this. If the position of the crown prince is unresolved, the second elder brother is likely to go to extremes because of it. It would be better to decide it early, and it will be better for the second elder brother.
He does his own thing peacefully."
Yinzhen said: "Maybe, but I still want to take another look. Moreover, Hongli was born as a concubine and has been in the palace with no achievements. If he rashly established him as the prince, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will not agree. If there is a trouble.
It will be troublesome to get up, so let’s wait for a while. The burden of the Qing Dynasty is too heavy, and I must see it clearly before I can hand it over."
Yunxiang also knew that Yinzhen had many concerns about sitting in this position, so he didn't say any more and instead said: "Your Majesty, it's very cold at night, you'd better go back early." After saying this, he himself started to cough.
, Yinzhen patted him on the back and said: "Okay, take care of yourself. I see that your health has never been better in these years."
"There is nothing wrong with my brother. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." With that said, Yunxiang said goodbye and left. Looking at his leaving back, Yinzhen showed a smile on his lips.
