An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

For Concubine Qi, nothing was more important than her son.

Yongzheng was not as prosperous as his father, Emperor Kangxi, in terms of offspring. This was also the important reason why the Empress Dowager always advised the Emperor to "treat everyone equally."

Looking at the entire harem, there are only two princes still kept in the palace.

One is the third prince born to Concubine Qi. Because the two princes born to Empress Chunyuan and the Empress died in infancy, the third prince born to Concubine Qi, although a concubine's son, is the well-deserved "eldest son".

The remaining prince was the fifth prince Hong Zhou, born to Concubine Yu.

But this Fifth Prince, like his mother, has little sense of existence.

When Concubine Yu was in the prince's palace, she had already started serving Yongzheng and even gave birth to a son for him.

Having said that, until now, Concubine Yu is just a concubine.

Because of this, Concubine Qi did not take Concubine Yu and her son seriously at all.

Compared to Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince who had already become passers-by in the harem, she had the protection of the Queen!

Even if I lose the emperor's favor, so what?

As long as Hongshi works hard enough, he will have his own "good fortune" in the future sooner or later!

Therefore, whenever she saw her son, Concubine Qi never forgot to urge him to make progress.

But Hongshi did not like these words. For this reason, he did not dare to come to Changchun Palace unless it was necessary.

The reason why he took the initiative to come to see Concubine Qi this time was because Hongshi was praised by Yongzheng for his academic progress!

Although the emperor just said it casually, to Hongshi's ears, it was like the sound of immortals from the sky!

He couldn't have been happier than this. In order to make his mother happy with him, Hongshi ran over with big strides, which was rare for him.

"Hongshi, come here, come closer, let mother take a good look at you!"

When Concubine Qi saw her son, she was so excited that she instantly forgot the Queen's previous instructions.

While waving her hand to let her son come closer, she looked Hongshi up and down, as if she couldn't see him enough.

"My son greets my mother, may you be blessed!"

Hongshi didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed Concubine Qi's instructions, came in front of her, and then bowed respectfully.

"Good good!"

Concubine Qi was very happy. She quickly asked her son to get up and sit next to her. Her first words were praises for her son.

"Hongshi, you haven't been to my place for a long time! I see that you seem to have grown taller!"

Concubine Qi held her own grown son's hand and could not help but exclaim in amazement.

"Mother... my son probably won't grow any taller."

Hongshi never expected that even though he was almost an adult, his own mother would actually praise his height. The pride on his face was very obvious, but now it all turned into embarrassment.

"Oh, mother, I'm just telling the truth."

Concubine Qi didn't feel embarrassed about her son at all, and started chatting with Hongshi about all sorts of things.

She was just a woman in the deep palace, and there were actually not many topics she could talk about with her son, and most of them revolved around the emperor.

"By the way, Hongshi, has your royal father tested you on your studies recently? How long has it been since you last saw your royal father? Your royal father..."

Concubine Qi spoke like a string of cannonballs, not giving her son any chance to speak.

Hongshi could only helplessly say: "Mother, you asked so many questions, why don't you let your son answer you!"

"oh oh……"

After hearing what Hongshi said, Concubine Qi realized that she had said too much and looked at him expectantly.

"Ahem! When my son was in the study room today, he was not only praised by the teacher, but also when the emperor tested me on my homework, he answered the questions fluently! The emperor was very happy!"

Otherwise, Hongshi really wouldn't dare to visit his own mother easily.

To be fair, in Hongshi's heart, the pressure of meeting Concubine Qi was much greater than that of meeting the Queen, second only to facing his biological father, the Emperor.

This is also very simple. The Queen originally used Concubine Qi and her son, intending to let Hongshi inherit the throne after the Emperor passed away, so as to ensure that she could not only obtain the patriarchal position of "Queen Mother and Empress Dowager", but also obtain stronger power.

Therefore, the Queen did not care whether Hongshi was outstanding or not.

In fact, in the Queen's view, the most ideal situation is that Hongshi can be favored by the Emperor, but he himself has mediocre talents. This way, it will be easier for her to control the mother and son in the future.

Therefore, when treating Hongshi, the Queen was more kind than Concubine Qi. She never urged him to "study hard" and never gave him many stressful demands.

Over time, the Third Prince, like Concubine Qi, naturally felt that the Queen truly loved them and was a well-deserved "good person."

"Yeah! That's great!"

Just as Hongshi had thought before, after listening to his report, Concubine Qi smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

It was impossible for her to regain the emperor's favor, and Concubine Qi was very aware of this.

Therefore, her son became her greatest support, otherwise, Concubine Qi would not have forced the Third Prince every now and then.

Now, when Hongshi was praised, Concubine Qi felt that she and her son had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!

"By the way, mother, when I came here just now, I saw Aunt Jianqiu, and she said that you didn't seem to be in a good mood?"

Hongshi remembered that he had met Jianqiu on the way, so he looked at Concubine Qi with a worried look and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what happened?"

"No, it's nothing."

Concubine Qi didn't expect Jianqiu to tell the child such a thing. She immediately understood that the other party was using this to warn her not to disobey the Queen's orders.

Thinking of this, Concubine Qi, who was originally full of joy, suddenly felt her heart sink.

When she saw her son's worried expression, Concubine Qi had to force a smile.

"Mother...I am sad because I think of some past events. It's not because anything happened. You are a good and filial child. You don't have to worry about such things. Mother is fine!"

It was too obvious that Concubine Qi was not being sincere. Even though Hongshi was not considered a very smart kid, he could see it clearly.

But Hongshi was still very clear about his mother Qingliang's temper.

Since Concubine Qi was unwilling to tell him, no matter how he asked, he was afraid he would not be able to get the truth, so he could only ignore the matter.

They chatted and laughed for a while, and then Hongshi left Changchun Palace on the pretext that he had to go back to review his lessons.

"Ugh."

As soon as Hongshi left, the kind smile on Concubine Qi's face suddenly collapsed.

She sighed, waved to Cuiguo, and said, "You, go to Jiaolu Pavilion and tell Lady Fucha what I mean."

After saying that, Concubine Qi went into the inner hall alone and started busying herself with something.
