Chapter 137 You Are the One
Concubine Qi gave Cuiguo a look.
"Fourth Prince, why are you here so bright in the daytime?" Cuiguo understood her master's hint.
The Fourth Prince turned around and saw Cuiguo holding an umbrella with Concubine Qi smiling under it. He quickly stood up and saluted Concubine Qi.
"Your son greets the Queen Concubine Qi. Please don't blame me, I didn't see you here just now."
"It's okay, Fourth Prince, come over here and I'll talk to you."
"Yes." As he said that, the Fourth Prince walked out of the cave under the rockery and stood in front of Concubine Qi.
"The Fourth Prince is very hardworking. He is now old enough to be able to read The Six Kingdoms fluently."
Concubine Qi thought that the Queen would reject the Fourth Prince because the Emperor disliked him.
Because he had been following the queen for many years, he had never looked at the child directly.
I met him today and took a closer look. I found that the child has grown so tall.
"To reply to Concubine Qi, I didn't know the Six Kingdoms Theory at first, but yesterday I heard my third brother reciting it at night, so I asked him to teach me. Now I can read it by myself."
When Concubine Qi heard that the Third Prince was still studying hard last night, her heart ached.
But when he heard that the Third Prince could actually teach the Fourth Prince, he felt particularly proud.
Concubine Qi patted the Fourth Prince's head proudly, "Since your Third Brother is willing to teach you, then you should study hard. But your Third Brother has a hard time studying. If your Third Brother is not free on weekdays, don't disturb him from studying, understand?"
Concubine Qi was just an ordinary woman who protected her child. Now, hearing that the Fourth Prince was willing to submit to the Third Prince, although she felt much more lenient towards the Fourth Prince, she still favored her own child more.
"Yes, I know. Third brother also said that he taught me his lessons, and his understanding of the lessons became deeper. If it weren't for this, I would never dare to disturb you."
"Hongshi actually said that." Concubine Qi murmured to herself.
"Empress Qi, it's time for lunch. Nanny should come out to look for me. I'll take my leave first." Seeing that Concubine Qi had nothing else to do, the Fourth Prince bowed and took his leave.
After the Fourth Prince left, Cui Guo asked Concubine Qi, "My Lady, are we still going to Taohuawu?"
"No, let's go back first."
Concubine Qi already had other ideas in her mind, but when she thought about how the Queen frowned when she heard the words "Fourth Prince", she gave up the idea of going to Taohuawu.
Concubine Qi actually knew very well that the Queen looked down on the Fourth Prince and also looked down on her Third Prince. In her heart, the best child in the palace was her Honghui, who had passed away long ago.
Regardless of whether Honghui can really become a great talent, the fact that the Queen Mother is always thinking about her son who died early, looking down on the Third Prince and wanting to hold on to him is something that Concubine Qi can no longer tolerate.
How can you compare the dead with the living every day? The queen doesn't think it's unlucky.
Cuiguo was very happy that her master would not go to Taohuawu to bring trouble upon herself, and she also felt more grateful to the Fourth Prince.
After the Fourth Prince walked away, he quietly looked back at Concubine Qi, turned around and walked back the way he came, then turned back to his own residence.
All of this was seen by Aunt Zhuxi from a distance.
"Are you telling the truth?" The Queen Mother had lived in the Old Summer Palace for a whole summer and felt much lighter and had more strength to speak.
"Really, I saw that the Fourth Prince was a well-mannered and sensible child. He sat on the rockery and read by himself. He also knew to avoid the sharp edge when he met Concubine Qi."
"Didn't you say last time that this child was close to Concubine Hua? How come this child met Concubine Qi again?"
"Oh, Queen Mother, I've seen Fourth Prince in the Old Summer Palace and the maids don't care about him at all. He usually wanders around everywhere. It's not uncommon for him to meet Concubine Hua today and Concubine Qi tomorrow."
"In that case, it wasn't the child's intentional act." When the Empress Dowager first entered the Old Summer Palace, she heard from Zhuxi that the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hua were on good terms. Therefore, she was indifferent to both Concubine Hua and the Fourth Prince. It was impossible for Concubine Hua to have a child.
But the Fourth Prince is his own grandson. Now seeing that he can sit on the rockery and read with the help of the Third Prince, it is also a good thing.
"Go tell the emperor that I saw the fourth prince studying well in the garden, so I decided to bring him back to the palace and let him live in the prince's residence with the third prince."
After all, he is the emperor's flesh and blood. No matter how the child was born, it would not be right to let the royal bloodline roam freely in the Old Summer Palace.
"Yes." Zhu Xifuli responded, "The Queen Mother has mercy on me. The Fourth Prince is also a filial man. He will definitely be filial to the Queen Mother in the future."
"Whether he is filial or not, it's just like that." The empress dowager has been very sensitive to these two words recently. Her two biological sons have become enemies, so how can she expect a grandson who has not been around for many years to be filial to her?
Sometimes the emperor is too unfeeling.
"Then I will go to the Qinzheng Palace after I finish packing my luggage tonight."
"It's up to you." The Queen Mother picked up the Buddhist scripture and continued reading with a calm expression.
After Concubine Qi returned to the palace, she had lunch and then spent some time in the small kitchen to make a plate of date paste and hawthorn cake.
Thinking back to the past, when Concubine Qi had just entered the palace, she and the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, were in love and in harmony with each other. The prince had even said to her, "I will be with you until old age, and I cannot live without you."
At that time, she wore pink clothes every day and made delicious snacks for the emperor.
Later, more and more women entered the palace, and she was gradually left out.
By the time she became pregnant, the emperor's only lover had already changed to someone else. In order to protect the baby in her belly, she could only stand behind Yixiu and ask for her protection.
After so many years, it was the first time that Concubine Qi took the initiative to find the Emperor and made the date paste and hawthorn cake again, also for the sake of their two children's education.
Things and people have really changed.
Even someone as rough as Concubine Qi sighed, "The person is gone," when she saw the plate of date paste and hawthorn cake that looked the same as before.
"Your Majesty, everything is packed. We have to go to the Qinzheng Palace." Cuiguo packed the snacks into the lunch box.
"Okay, let's go."
"Your Majesty is so thoughtful, the Emperor will surely be touched."
"I only hope that Your Majesty will not despise my craftsmanship."
Just now, Concubine Qi specially changed into a sapphire blue dress. Ever since the last time the emperor came to her palace and said that she was blocking the light and shadow when he was reading, and also said "Pink is delicate, how old are you now", all the pink clothes that she cherished every day were locked in the deepest part of the box.
Beauty faded and love waned, but Concubine Qi Li was still as fond of the spring when they first met.
It's time to wake up now.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Xiao Xiazi came in and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi wants to see you."
