"Father, I am just being realistic."

"What evidence do you have that I said such a thing?"

Hongshi looked at his royal father in shock.

"Father, I have no evidence, but I have made my intention known. I am only willing to marry Miss Qingluo in my lifetime."

"Well, now that you have grown up and become independent, you no longer need to be a prince. Are you still willing to marry only her?"

"Your son is willing." Hongshi pressed his head firmly to the ground.

"You are truly my good son. You even ignored your responsibilities for a woman."

"Father, even if my son is not a prince, I will still devote everything I have to contribute to the Qing Dynasty."

Yinzhen shook the beads in his hand and pointed at Geng Qingluo.

"What about you? He is willing to be with you for life as a commoner. Are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, I want to ask Hongshi a question."

"You ask."

Geng Qingluo looked at Hongshi, "Is it worth it?"

Hongshi smiled innocently, "I am a confused person, and my brain is not very useful. The things I know clearly in my heart can be counted on one hand, and this happens to be one of them."

"I don't have any big ambitions. I can only do what I can. If I marry you, I can't give you a prominent status, and there's a possibility that the child I give birth to in the future will be as stupid as me. I'm marrying above my station, so how can it not be worth it? It's obviously me who took advantage of you."

Geng Qingluo chuckled, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am willing."

"Hongshi, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you really willing to give up your status as a prince and be with Geng Qingluo for the rest of your life?"

"I am willing. Although I will no longer be a prince, I am still a citizen of the Qing Dynasty. I will definitely do my part for the development of the Qing Dynasty in the future."

"Okay, in that case, Su Peisheng."

"My third son, Aixinjueluo Hongshi, led the troops in the battle of Qinghai and fought bravely. He promoted the economic exchanges and development between the two countries by opening up new trade routes. After returning to the Qing Dynasty, he made great contributions to the border soldiers and the Qing Dynasty's economy by using his business. Hongshi was rewarded for his meritorious service and was named Beile and given the title of Rong."

Now there is Geng Qingluo, the legitimate daughter of the Geng family, who is virtuous, talented and virtuous. I have chosen her to be the wife of Rong Beile and will choose a date for the wedding."

"What? Are you stupid?"

The two of them finally reacted, and Hongshi's eyes were red, "Thank you, Father, for your help."

"I thank the emperor for his help."

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your mother. It was she who influenced my thinking and changed the Qing Dynasty."

"Thank you, mother, my son."

"Thank you, aunt, for your help."

Su He got up from the small couch and helped the two of them up.

"Hurry up and get up. Your Royal Father is afraid that you will be blinded by love, so he is giving it a try. When the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated the date, I will go to the Geng Mansion to discuss the process with your parents."

"Relax, after marriage you can continue to do business or study to become a female official, it's up to you. I don't have any rules, so I won't use them to restrict you. In the future, you can live your own lives behind closed doors and come back to see me occasionally."

"Okay, it's getting late, Hongshi, you should also send Qingluo back home early. I believe the eunuch who announced the decree has already arrived at your house. Go back quickly to avoid worrying your parents."

three days later

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."

Yinzhen frowned, "What's the big deal? Why are you so flustered?"

"Your Majesty~" Su Peisheng trotted into the room, fell to his knees with a plop, looked up at the emperor, and couldn't utter any words.

When Yinzhen saw Su Peisheng's expression, he knew that he was not exaggerating. He was very anxious and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Su Peisheng's heart was set, and his face was filled with an expression as if his father had died, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua has passed away."

Yinzhen's body swayed as he stood writing. "Say it again."

"Empress Hua has passed away."

"Emperor~"

"Emperor~"

"Doctor Wen, how is the emperor?"

"My Lady, the Emperor is extremely angry and overly sad. I have already given him acupuncture. He will wake up in half an hour."

Su He stared at the time in the space, and when the emperor was about to wake up, he wiped his eyes with Onion while no one was paying attention, and tears instantly flowed.

"Se-ran~Se-ran!"

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

"Xiao He, I had a dream. I dreamed that Shi Lan was gone."

"Wuwuwuwu~~, Your Majesty~~"

"Su Peisheng!"

"The slave is here."

"What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Xia Qie is here. I will invite him in right away."

"Your Majesty, I, Xia Qian, pay my respects to you."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Empress Hua suddenly collapsed seven days ago while checking the palace accounts. The other doctors were helpless. By the time Doctor Wei was called in, Empress Hua had already passed away."

"What are those people in the Imperial Medical Bureau doing?" Yinzhen swept all the pens, ink, paper, inkstone and teacups on the table to the ground.

"Imperial Doctor Wei said that Concubine Hua died of heart problems. It was caused by long-term mental depression, depression, poor sleep, and overwork. This disease develops very quickly and will not be discovered in the early stages."

[Sudden cardiac death? Not to mention this era, even in modern times it is difficult to treat. ]

"How is the Nian family?"

"I heard that Madam Nian fainted from crying several times, and General Nian has lost a lot of weight."

"Go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, it's too late. I think the Imperial Concubine will be buried in the next two days."

"Then I will go back to the palace too!"

"Su Peisheng, pack your things and leave immediately. Xiaohe, stay a little longer and go back after you have discussed the marriage with the Geng family."

"Your Majesty, I want to go back with you." Su He covered her face with a handkerchief, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, with tears rolling down her eyes.

Fat Ju held Su He in his arms and patted her back gently.

"Xiao He, relax outside and hurry back. Even if you can bear it, the children can't. Besides, we still have Hongshi's marriage to discuss. I will leave half of the secret guards to you. Even if I can't send Shilan off in time, I have to go back."

That night, Yinzhen and his entourage set out on the journey back to Beijing under the moonlight.

When Lingling saw Fat Ju leaving, she patted her chest. Fortunately, he was smart. As the system loopholes were gradually fixed, she successfully blocked out her sister's thoughts. Otherwise, she would have been exposed.
