After all, Hongli was still a child at that time and had no self-control when it came to delicious food.

Hongli watched Concubine He start to crack melon seeds, and he also stretched out his little hand, picked up a piece of cake and started to eat happily. In the meantime, Hongtao took out a lot of dried meat for Hongli, and only stopped when Hongli asked for a second bowl of Su He and was rejected by him.

"Hongli, it's not that the Empress is reluctant to give you some. You are still young. You ate so much, and it was cold food. I am afraid that you will have trouble digesting it and get a stomachache when you go back home tonight. When you leave later, the Empress will pack some for you. Then, every afternoon, the Empress will make some Sushan for you, okay?"

Little Hongli's eyes sparkled, "Really? Can Hongli eat so many delicious foods every day?"

Su He nodded, "Niangniang knows that you are a big kid, so Niangniang packed some delicious food for you, but you can't be greedy, just eat a little every day, and if you run out of food, or if you want to eat something else, come to Niangniang for it, okay?"

"Except for Nanny Chen, no one is so kind to me."

"Hongli, you were just wandering around outside the yard, is there something wrong?"

Hongli twisted his clothes with his two little hands and said, "Your Majesty, I want to see the Emperor. I haven't seen the Emperor for a long time." After saying that, he quickly lowered his head.

"Hongli, don't say you can't see your father. Ask Empress Rou and Empress Ying. We haven't seen your father for a long time. But don't worry, I will tell him that you want to see him. Just wait patiently."

Hongli got Su He's promise and happily said goodbye and went back.

An Lingrong was conflicted. In her dream, after her death, her soul kept wandering in the Forbidden City. It was not until the 15th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign that an underworld official came to take her away. She was very angry at the time because she had been stranded in the world of the living. She almost lost her soul. Later, she learned that people who commit suicide will become earthbound spirits and cannot be reincarnated. They must live out their lifespan in the world of the living.

During the years she was wandering in the world, she knew everything about the former and harems. She naturally knew that it was because of the Fourth Prince that the Third Prince was stripped of his yellow belt by the Emperor and became the next Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. But her sister should know all this, so why did she still help the Fourth Prince? For a moment, she didn't know how to start.

"Lingrong, why do you look so bad?"

Su He's voice interrupted An Lingrong's thoughts.

An Lingrong sorted out her thoughts and said, "Sister, why do you want to help the Fourth Prince? In the past dynasties, the royal heirs have done everything they can to fight for that position. Even our emperor went through nine sons competing for the throne. I think the Fourth Prince is so young, but he can go straight to you. It shows that he has put in a lot of effort, which is enough to show how smart he is."

Xia Dongchun ate the potato chips that Hongtao brought to her with a crunchy mouthful, and said nonchalantly, "If he can find He Jiejie, he can naturally find someone else. You said that the child is smart, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. It's not a bad idea for He Jiejie to do him a favor. Even if there really comes a day like that in the future, what if he can remember He Jiejie's kindness?"

An Lingrong shook her head, "That child doesn't seem like someone who knows how to be grateful."

An Lingrong recalled that in order to protect her own son, Zhen Huan adopted her child with Prince Guo directly to Prince Guo, completely cutting off the child's possibility of inheriting the throne. However, when it came to the time of marriage, Hongli sent both of Zhen Huan's daughters to marry without blinking an eye.

Su He actually didn't know whether this was the right move or not. "You two are both right. Hongli is indeed a smart kid. I am indeed doing him a favor, but I don't expect him to be grateful. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Let's take it one step at a time."

Xia Dongchun continued to crunch his potato chips. An Lingrong lowered her head, clenched her fists, and a dark light was hidden in her eyes.

"You two can eat and play. If you get bored, call Ruipin and Xin Guiren to come and play. But don't call Jingfei recently. I'm going to the Qinzheng Palace for a walk."

"They are a little worried. Sister, why don't you send someone to ask the emperor to come over."

"Nothing. It's not very hot at this hour, and I haven't been out for a long time."

Su He took Cuiguo and Xiao Yingzi and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall. Maybe because of his age, Su He saw Su Peisheng dozing off against a pillar from a distance, while Xiao Xiazi was gently fanning Su Peisheng beside him.

The eunuch standing guard nearby had sharp eyes. He walked over to Xiao Xiazi and gently tugged at her clothes. He signaled her with his eyes. Xiao Xiazi looked up and put the fan into the arms of the eunuch next to her. "Master, Master, please wake up. Concubine He is here."

While Su Peisheng was still confused, Xiao Xiazi had already run several meters away.

"My lady, why are you here on such a hot day?"

At this time, Su Peisheng also caught up and said, "Your Majesty, it's so far, why don't you send a sedan chair? Your Majesty has suffered a lot on the way."

"Give me some green fruit, and give me some too. Give me some too, and give me some too, the little eunuch holding the fan."

The three of them immediately smiled happily. In this palace, besides Concubine Hua, Concubine He was the most generous.

"Xiao Yingzi, share the popsicles in this lunch box with everyone."

Xiao Yingzi opened the food box, which was still steaming. Everyone was immediately interested when they saw rows of small wooden sticks with ice of different colors on them.

Su Peisheng greeted Su He and walked into the hall.

"Why are you here, Xiaohe? Come and sit down and have a rest."

Su He hadn't walked such a long distance for a long time, and he was indeed a little tired for a while.

"Your Majesty has not been to the harem for a long time. I missed you, so I came to see you."

Ever since Su He figured it out last time, he no longer had to think about the lines and he spoke them more fluently.

Yinzhen pricked up his ears and didn't hear Su He's complaints. He was very satisfied. It seemed that Xiaohe really missed him.

Yinzhen still liked to stretch out his cat paw, but this time he didn't grab Su He's hand, but touched Su He's belly, "It seems that what Doctor Wei said is right, it is indeed twins, and the bigger one will be."

Su He slapped away Fatty Orange's cat paws and said, "Don't disturb their sleep. I came here today for something."

Yinzhen didn't mind, and swept Su He's face with the tassel of the jade bead, "I knew you wouldn't come to my palace for no reason. I also have something to tell you today, so you go first."

Su He then told him about the Fourth Prince's visit in the afternoon.

Yinzhen's face immediately turned dark, "Su Peisheng~"

"Your Majesty~" Su He waved his hand and asked Su Peisheng to wait for a while.
