After thinking about this, those officials were extremely respectful to Hongshi, who came to toast, and did not dare to slack off. Also, who dares to offend the future crown prince is the emperor!

After this feast, Hongshi came to Kunning Palace, Nala was instructing the head of the Internal Affairs Office about the family banquet in the evening, Ling Ruo died, in the harem, no one could compete with her, and the power of the harem naturally fell back into her hands without exception.

Nala fiddled with the jade ring between his fingers and said: "The emperor is not in good health now, remember that the dishes presented to the emperor must be light and easy to digest, do you know the way?" ”

Qian Moduo bowed his head and agreed, "The minion has written it down." ”

When Nala saw Hongshi, he waved his hand at Qian Moduo and said, "Okay, go down and prepare." ”

"The minions are gone." Qian Moduo retreated as he said, and when he passed by Hongshi's side, he said to him: "The slave asks for peace for the second elder brother, and the second elder brother is auspicious." ”

Hongshi nodded slightly, and after Qian Mo and I withdrew from the main hall, he patted his sleeves and saluted to the Nala clan and said: "Erchen greets the emperor's mother, and wishes the emperor's mother a healthy phoenix in the new year, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

"Well, get up." After motioning for Hongshi to sit down, Nala smiled and said, "Is the banquet over there in the Taihe Hall dispersed?" ”

"Yes, all the officials have already gone back, and Erchen thought that there would be a family banquet in the evening, and there would be trouble going back and forth, so he didn't go back, just to ask the emperor for peace first."

"The emperor's mother knows that you are filial." After saying this, Nala said again: "Take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do now, and tell the palace about the situation in the Taihe Palace just now, is it very lively, and the emperor, everything is okay?" When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of worry in Nala's voice.

"Huang Ama is still the same as before, he has no appetite, but just now at the banquet, Huang Ama asked his sons to toast to the hundred officials on his behalf." Hongshi's words made Nala's pupils shrink, and he immediately showed a smile that was as deep as a secret, "It seems that the emperor's sacred heart has almost been decided, and he wants you to be the future prince." ”

Although Hongshi also guessed it, he was still a little excited when he heard Nala say this, and leaned forward a little bit and said, "So, the emperor will soon appoint his son as the crown prince?" ”

Nala fiddled with the jade bracelet on his wrist and said: "This palace can't be said for sure, but now among the princes, only you are the most suitable, besides you, who else can the emperor appoint!" However, ......" glanced at Hongshi, and said lightly: "You can't be careless, you still have to care more about your emperor Ama as before, and you can't relax on the affairs of the court." Hongyang will open his teeth and build a mansion in a few months, and this palace seems to be a little uneasy to see him recently. When the time comes, he will be on an errand in the court, so you should pay more attention to him, and don't make any more trouble at the end. ”

"Hongday?" Hongshi frowned slightly, and then sneered disdainfully: "In the past, in the palace, Hongli protected him, but now Hongli is gone, if he is no longer restless, but no one can protect him, his mother is still a concubine, and he can't set off the storm at all." ”

Nala picked up the teacup, lifted the lid of the tea, skimmed the tea leaves floating on it, and said: "No matter what, he is always a prince and is qualified to inherit the throne, what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to, but ...... Don't act rashly, the emperor has never liked your brothers to fight each other for the throne and rights, in front of the emperor, you must be a brother of leniency, you must not lose a big one because of a small loss, otherwise there is no way to regret it. ”

Hongshi hurriedly agreed: "Erchen understands. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Nala said, "How is Lanling doing, I didn't see her at the family banquet last night." ”

Seeing that the Nala clan mentioned Lanling, Hongshi was a little impatient, and said to Xingzi: "If you go back to the emperor's mother, Lanling is still the same as before, locking himself in the house all day long, and rarely going out. Yesterday, Erchen persuaded her for a long time, but she refused to come, and in desperation, Erchen could only lie to Huang Ama that she was sick. ”

Hearing Hongshi's words, Nala shook his head slightly and said, "This child, Xingzi is still so stubborn, and I don't know when the Dao will come out of the tip of the horns." If you are the emperor in the future, she is still like this, this palace really doesn't know how she wants to be this queen. ”

Hongshi's eyes moved, and he said tentatively: "Huang Eniang, Erchen thinks that if it really comes to that moment, and Lanling has always been like this, he should choose another sage as the queen." ”

Before he finished speaking, Nala's eyes suddenly turned cold, "What? You haven't ascended the throne as emperor yet, but you already want to abolish Lanling? ”

Hongshi hurriedly lowered his head: "Erchen doesn't dare, it's just that Lanling has been avoiding the world like this, it's really not a way, now the things in the house, she never asks, for Erchen, she also ignores it, Erchen really doesn't know how to get along with her." ”

Nala's gaze softened slightly, but he still stared at Hongshi tightly, so that he didn't dare to raise his head, "This palace will let Ingo go to persuade her, but in this case, don't mention it again in the future, since Lanling is married to you, she is your person, as long as she doesn't do anything sorry for you, you can't let her down." ”

"Yes, the sons and daughters remember the teachings of the emperor." After this temptation, Hongshi understood that the Nala clan would never allow him to abolish Lanling, and that he would ascend the throne in the future, no matter what Lanling looked like, he would be his queen.

"By the way, are all the injuries you suffered when you captured Hongli last time?" Nala's words made Hongshi's cheeks twitch for a while, and after a while, Fang said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, Erchen has nothing to do, Erchen only hates that he failed to catch Hongli and let him escape under his eyes." ”

"Sooner or later, I'll catch it." After saying this, Nala said again: "While the time is okay now, you go to Shoukang Palace to say goodbye to those concubines, and go directly to Qianqing Palace later." ”

When Hongshi was about to leave, the Nala clan called him and said, "By the way, can the king of Guojun return to the dynasty?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor's mother, Uncle Seventeen has not come back since he was ordered to go to Zhungar to pick up Jingyue." His relationship with Hanyan is not good, so when he mentions her, he only calls her by a title.

Nala nodded and said: "The king of Guojun was ordered by the emperor to send an envoy to Zhungar, so he can't return to Beijing for the New Year, you can prepare a gift and send it to the palace of the king of Guojun and hand it to Concubine Qin." ”

Hongshi would not object, according to his words, after he withdrew from Kunning Palace, Nala sat in the chair for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Ningzi, help the palace to go outside." ”

"Huh!" Xiao Ningzi carefully helped Nala to the courtyard, although it was not snowing this day, it was extremely cold, especially when he just came out of a warm place like spring, although he tried his best to endure it, he still couldn't help but shiver.
