According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, princes must have status and status, either as legitimate sons or eldest sons, or because they have outstanding talents and can earn credit.
In the case of Yin Ti, all the sons were direct descendants of the middle palace, so naturally the eldest son Hong Han received the most attention. In terms of merit... considering their ages, Hong Han also had the advantage.
So when Yin Ti asked Hong Han to supervise the country, everyone felt that this was the emperor's clear statement to the world that the emperor's eldest son, Duke Duan, only needed to have the title of heir apparent in the future, and everything would be fine.
Ordinarily, under this situation, Duke Duan has established prestige because of the Duzhi Yamen of the outer vassal, so even if the emperor loves Chongsan's elder brother a little, it is not a big deal.
However, things never go as planned and plans change quickly.
Life goes back and forth, people die, and naturally there is new life. Hong Han's pregnant Gege Gua gave birth to the emperor's first granddaughter. Yin Ti was naturally very happy, especially the child's birthday, which was with the emperor.
Queen on the same day.
Even the Queen and the Queen Mother, who were gradually getting over their grief, took advantage of the opportunity to return to the palace during the winter festival to meet the child. Interestingly, when Brother Sude saw his little cousin with his grandmother and great-grandmother, he also
Tiao Tiao stuttered and said, "My sister is cute!"
The Queen Mother also smiled and asked Su De, "My sister is really beautiful. We Su De can also look at people!"
"Your Ama said, this child's name is Duoxihun." Daoqin also looked at her granddaughter with joy on her face, "What a good child." She really liked her granddaughter. When mother and son talked privately,
He also specifically told Hong Han, "Bloom first and then bear fruit. Isn't it my husband who gave birth to your sister to have your brothers and sisters? This is not something to rush."
"My son knows." Hong Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Duo Xihun is fine. Don't worry, my son and wife also like the child. My son also plans to let Duo Xihun follow Fujin. After all, her mother-in-law's background is not obvious, and she is more meek. But.
For the sake of the child, my son still plans to get her a blessing, and Duo Xihun will look good."
This sounds like she doesn't like Duoxihun's biological mother very much. She only asked for the title purely for the sake of her children. Dao Qin wanted to say something, but he swallowed it. He still had to let the children make the decision on such matters. After all, it was him.
Things in the house, things like that, when I'm not a mother, I keep an eye on my son all day long.
Yinti, who was still in the garden, also issued a series of decrees to give a bunch of rewards to his granddaughter, and said to Hongyu who was beside him, "Next year, when the mourning period of your brothers is over, it will be time to find a wife for you, so that I and your mother-in-law can feel at ease."
.”
Hong Chang really wanted to confess that he was willing to observe mourning for his great-grandmother for three years, but it was too much. He still did not confess too much, but responded with a humble and obedient smile as always, and said, "It's not just us brothers, Ama
I still have to worry about my second sister."
Su Rige is open and cheerful, Hong Han is solemn and generous, Hong Yu is transparent and unrestrained, Wu Zhina is kind and smart, Hong Yu, in the past, Yin Ti always felt that Dongdong was a bit awkward, but unexpectedly, as he got older, this child became more and more interested in studying.
Not to mention, their personalities have become more calm and reliable. Brothers Hong Yao and Hong Tan are still young, but they look smart and cute now.
Oops, it turns out that my wife and I have good enough genes to have a lot of good children.
The emperor was extremely happy and sad. He returned to the Forbidden City on a snowy day to host various banquets at the end of the year. But after all, Yinti was not twenty years old anymore. He caught a cold. When the banquet was over, he had to go back to the garden. All this trouble
, Yinti successfully fell ill.
The fever made him unconscious and frightened the Queen and the Queen Mother half to death. The Imperial Hospital waited day and night before the Emperor went to bed, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
It seems to be some common sense that if a person never gets sick, it will be particularly serious when he gets sick. What's more, the late emperor died of an illness after a big banquet. The Queen Mother and the Queen's mother-in-law knew this very well and were worried to the point of panic.
Not surprising.
The emperor was ill, but the country could not stop running. The Queen Mother and the Empress together appointed the emperor's eldest son Hong Han to supervise the country again. The other children, except Su Rige and Hong Yu who were still on the way back from Shengjing, were all in front of the sick bed.
Be filial.
Yinti felt that his bones were hot, and his entire frame seemed to be melted by fire. He felt dizzy for a long time. He wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids seemed to be tied with heavy weights.
"Master! Master, if you do anything bad, it will be the slave's fault, and the slave will not be alive!"
It sounded like crying, quite familiar. Yinti opened his eyes little by little, and sure enough it was the white-haired eunuch Qin Ji and Quan Quan, both of whom were kneeling and crying with their heads hanging down.
"You two are howling in mourning."
The feeble voice echoed in the room, and everyone jumped up for the first time, almost falling top-heavy, and shouted: "Master is awake! Call the doctor quickly!"
Although Yinti's condition has improved, she still feels weak. Although the imperial doctor's meaning is euphemistic, it is also very clear: after all, unlike when he was young, this disease has damaged his vitality, and he must take care of himself. Yinti will be with me now.
In front of his wife's red eyes, he could only admit defeat. Not to mention Su Rige who hurried back with Hong Yu, and Hong Han who came to say hello. The three of them were crying and laughing, which made Yin Ti feel blocked.
Gotta panic.
Throughout the winter, the emperor rarely left the garden. Most of the state affairs were handed over to Hong Han, who was in charge of the country. As for special matters, there were naturally people to report to him, but the frequency was not high.
The children were on their own, and Yinti didn't want to make them suffer in the cold weather, so he just let them wait for five days to come and say hello. In this way, the person who often appeared next to him became Hongyu again.
Even when Yin Ti was in a daze, Hong Chang comforted his mother and grandmother, took care of his brothers with Wu Zhina, and helped Hong Han, the supervisor of the country, pay attention to the situation in the garden, especially the clan members who came to pay their respects.
Ministers.
Third elder brother did a good job in everything, and later served Yinti with soup and medicine. Yinti couldn't bear it and asked him to rest, but the child always said, "My son is still young, so he should be filial."
"When I'm here." He is so considerate and always available. This kind of filial piety makes Yinti feel comforted in his heart.
At least compared to how he treated Kangxi back then, his son is always more sincere to him now. Thinking about it this way, he is still very lucky. In this way, thinking that Hongyun is not young anymore, Yinti conveniently gave his son a Baylor title
, saying that it makes him look good when he gets married.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have your own way."
Agudamu, the brother-in-law, said casually: "In the past, the emperor was very cautious when conferring titles... But this is to reward the third elder brother's filial piety, which is normal. In the future, we Su De will also be as filial as the third uncle.
"
He was holding his son, whom he rarely met, and was taking the time to connect with the father and son. Su De leaned in his arms and smiled. Only Su Rige looked a little gloomy and did not seem happy that his third brother was knighted.
.
"Hongyu went to sea for more than a year before he was granted the title of Baylor. Honghan is the eldest son and is now the county king... You are right. Amma was very cautious in granting titles and did not reward excessively."
"Princess, you can rest assured. It is only right for the son of the emperor to be crowned king. Although our family law is different from this, today is different from the past... Besides, Khan Amma is wise and decisive, and he always has his old man's ideas."
Maybe, Su Rige nodded and said nothing more. But she still had a bad premonition in her heart. That feeling was vague, and she always felt that the expected trajectory was beginning to deviate slightly.
Just like the thing she had seen in Shengjing, the machine gears must fit perfectly, otherwise the slightest difference can lead to a huge difference.
This premonition reached its peak after Amma recovered from the illness. Hongyu not only received the title of Baylor, but was also given a title. From now on, the third elder brother Hongyu will be "Yibele". Moreover, the emperor also allowed him to walk in front of the imperial palace.
This position makes me want to be with the emperor every day.
If an ordinary member of the royal family gets this job, it would be nothing more than a promising future and happy relatives and friends. But if it were Hong Yu, since the Xi Dynasty, few princes would be allowed to walk in front of the emperor.
Su Rige became more and more worried. What she worried about was not that the narrow-minded emperor was getting better and better towards Hong Yu. What she was worried about was that the emperor was unable to serve the emperor like Hong Yu day and night because Hong Han was in charge of the country when he was ill.
, resulting in estrangement between father and son.
Thinking about the late emperor and his second uncle back then, and then looking at Amma and Honghan today, Su Rige had a headache thinking about it, what should he do if this was really the case.
"Your mother has recovered from her illness this time, and she seems to be able to do as she pleases,"
Even though she was the queen who always felt that Yin Ti was doing everything right, it was inevitable that she would be a little puzzled by her husband's recent actions. "It's just that Dongdong was knighted, and he was also given errands. He is such a young man, he should follow first."
Brother or uncle, please learn from me, walking in front of the emperor is not that easy."
Su Rige was silent for the rare moment, but Wu Zhina said: "Dongdong has been serving the soup and medicine. I admire his tenacity. Sometimes I almost can't hold it anymore when I look at him. This kind of filial piety is also rare, Khan'a
It’s not surprising that Ma wants to reward him.”
But who has no filial piety? Hong Han tried his best to supervise the country, but also had to run in both directions. He and Hong Yu returned from Shengjing to Beijing non-stop, and several brothers and sisters could shed a lot of tears just by themselves.
Only then did Su Rige realize that this was what she was worried about. Khan Ama would make people think that it was because someone, or someone, was not very filial, so they promoted the third elder brother so much.
"...Your Ama must also use Hongchen. There are many things in front of you. If you grow up as soon as possible, you can share his worries." Dao Qin seemed to have thought of something, but didn't want to talk more, and instead talked about something else.
One thing: "You two are all married, and Uzhina's marriage is about to happen. Good girl, tell Eniang, do you have a crush on anyone?"
Uzhina only blushed, but Surig became worried. Such an obvious change of topic was not very like E Niang. Besides, Amma E Niang has been with Ama for decades, so what topics are the queen's scruples about?
It is impossible to think deeply about this. Thinking about it is so scary that it makes people feel chills down their backs.
