Seeing Hongli coming in, Fucha Langya quickly stood up with a smile, and together with the three people beside her, bowed and congratulated Hongli.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your son."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly."

Hongli laughed happily, then took a few quick steps towards Fucha Langya and carefully took the child from her arms.

The baby in his arms was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he left the warm embrace and woke up with a slight frown.

This made everyone who had been keeping their eyes on him hold their breath. Everyone present thought that he would cry like other babies, but they didn't expect that he would just stare at Hongli without crying or making a fuss.

His well-behaved appearance made Hongli very happy.

"This child looks fierce and aggressive, but I didn't expect him to be so calm."

Su Lujun, who was beside Hongli, had never seen such a quiet child before, and she exclaimed in surprise when she saw this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have never seen such a well-behaved child."

"The Third Prince's little eyes have been staring at Your Majesty. It can be seen that it is Your Majesty's handsome figure that has stunned the Third Prince, a little baby. It shows how much he likes you."

Seeing this, Jin Yuyan also complimented in a sweet voice, but unlike others, her words were all disguised praise for Hongli.

"The little prince's eyebrows and eyes look very similar to the prince's"

Huang Qiying then continued Jin Yuyan's words without giving in.

Everyone can say nice things, and this child is indeed different from others, so Fu Cha Langya also spoke with a smile.

"It seems that I have to congratulate the prince again. I think the third prince will definitely be an extremely intelligent prince in the future."

The continuous praise from several people made Hongli, who already liked compliments, even more in a good mood. He looked at the baby in his arms and liked him more and more.

For some reason, the more he looked at the baby in his arms, the more he felt that this baby would be extraordinary in the future.

"What Fu Jin said makes a lot of sense. This child has a promising future."

In order to prevent Fu Cha Langya from thinking too much, Hongli almost spoke the last sentence in a whisper.

This look of his made the women present at the scene pour out compliments on him without reservation.

It was not until the baby frowned and closed his eyes that the hall finally became quiet.

After holding the baby in his arms for a while, Hongli looked at the baby more deeply before finally handing the baby to the wet nurse.

"Go ahead and serve carefully"

After the wet nurses left with the babies, Hongli remembered to ask how Chen Wanyin was doing. He then rewarded the court doctors and midwives, and only then, at Fucha Langya's reminder, did he give instructions to Chunlai.

"Quick, send someone to the palace to tell the emperor the good news."

"Yes"

Hongli then turned to the women who were looking at him expectantly.

"You are tired after a day's work, go back and have a rest."

After saying that, he looked at Fucha Langya, thinking of going to her place to rest tonight.

But Fu Cha Langya had been waiting here for a whole day and didn't want to get close to him at all, so when Hongli just looked at her, Fu Cha Langya spoke first.

"Your Highness, please go check on Sister Xiyue. I think she must have been frightened today."

Since Fu Cha Lang Ya said so, Hong Li had no choice but to agree and went to Yue Ming Garden to see Gao Xiyue in dejection.

In Yueming Garden, Gao Xiyue, who had been worried all day, felt a little relieved when she saw Hongli coming to see her.

Later, she heard that it was the wife's idea that the prince came to her. Gao Xiyue's respect for Fucha Langya became even stronger, and she silently decided to follow the wife for the rest of her life.

In the palace, Yongzheng was very happy when he heard the news from Chunlai.

He did not have many offspring, and only five sons are alive today, two of whom are only in their early teens.

It would have been fine if he himself had little luck with having offspring, but Yongzheng thought of his three married sons.

The three of them got married in the same year. Hongshi has no children to date, and Hongli has only had three sons. Not to mention Hongzhou. His wife was very strict, so he only has two legitimate sons to date.

When you count them all together, the four of them, father and son, don’t even have half of the offspring that his royal father has.

Moreover, since Concubine Xi gave birth to Shuling in the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign, no one in the harem had been pregnant. Yongzheng probably knew that he would probably not be able to have children in the future.

Although Yongzheng felt it was a pity, he did not care much about it. After all, no matter how much he refused to accept his old age, the results of his body's reaction forced him to admit this fact.

Thinking of this, Yongzheng couldn't help but think of the issue of enthroning the crown prince that the court officials had been talking about recently.

Unlike most emperors, Yongzheng did not resist this proposal from his ministers.

In his opinion, as long as the person who succeeded him to the throne could bring prosperity to the Qing Dynasty in the future, Yongzheng would consider agreeing to it even if he was asked to abdicate now.

After all, in the past few decades of his life, except for the few years when he lived happily under the wing of Empress Xiaoyi Ren as a child, he has never had a happy life.

So when Yongzheng overheard Yinqi and Jinzhong enjoying the wonderful life of traveling around the Qing Dynasty in their later years, he thought this was really a great idea.

But when Yongzheng carefully considered all his five sons, he really could not convince himself that he could safely hand over the Qing Dynasty to any of them.

There is no need to mention Hongshi.

Although Hongli had done a good job in government affairs in recent years, Yongzheng's careful observation in recent years revealed his ambitious nature and his foolish treatment of the women in his mansion.

When Yongzheng saw this, he rejected in his heart the possibility of letting him succeed to the throne.

Hong Zhou could also have given up directly. Given his restless personality, the fact that he was allowed to be a prince or a general was because of Yongzheng's special favor due to his status as a prince.

Although the remaining Hongjing was intelligent at a young age, his gentle temperament inherited from Concubine Jing made Yongzheng uneasy about his ability to deal with the intrigues among the ministers.

Hongyun only loves poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is so immersed in the sea of ​​books that he cannot get out.

After thinking about all his sons, Yongzheng rubbed his forehead in pain. He could not rest assured and enjoy his old age if the Qing Dynasty was left in the hands of any of them.

When Li Dequan came in with the sweet soup, he saw Yongzheng in pain. He carefully put the sweet soup in front of Yongzheng and persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Have a bowl of sweet soup and take a rest."

Yongzheng then raised his head to look at the sky outside, then turned around and took the bowl of soup.

"What time is it?"

"It's already 2:15 PM."

"Um"

After taking a sip of the sweet soup, the familiar taste in his mouth made Yongzheng's frown relax a little.

"Did Qi'er send someone to deliver it?"
