What do you think?

That would be fantastic!

At first, Hongli didn't react, but after Fucha Jinyi's suggestion, it was as if he had suddenly realized something and immediately opened up his Ren and Du meridians.

Ouch!

Why didn't he think of this method? Indeed, none of the concubines in the harem who raised Yonghuang were quite good at it, except for the Empress Dowager!

Entrusting Yonghuang to the Empress Dowager for upbringing—it must be said, the Empress was truly a genius.

Putting aside the fact that the Empress Dowager was Yonghuang's biological grandmother, she usually had few things to do. In the Cining Palace, she would either chant sutras and pray for blessings or occasionally cause trouble for the Empress. Hongli had been observing this for many days and he did think that it was time to give the Empress Dowager something to do.

Yonghuang was in poor health and often fell ill, so he needed an elder to take care of him. The more Hongli thought about it, the more he felt that Fucha Jinyi's suggestion was just right.

Hongli glanced admiringly at Fucha Jinyi beside him and sighed, "Empress, you are indeed quick-witted and know how to leave room for maneuver."

Compared to the other concubines in the harem, the Empress Dowager was the most suitable person to raise Yonghuang.

Once the matter was settled, Yonghuang was handed over to the Empress Dowager, and he immediately returned to Cining Palace to deliver the message.

Incidentally, he could also have Yonghuang take care of the Empress Dowager and keep her company while he was busy.

This way, you get several benefits at once, which is wonderful.

Seeing how readily Hongli agreed, Fucha Jinyi knew that she had seized the perfect moment to make her suggestion.

It turns out that the Emperor also felt that Yonghuang was a burden and was eager to get rid of him.

Hahahaha, Empress Dowager, look at the good son you raised. He's not much better when it comes to selfishness.

After silently criticizing Hongli for a moment, Fucha Jinyi continued to persuade him to first check on Yonghuang's condition in the inner chamber.

"The child is unaware of this news yet. If he were to learn it from the Emperor, he would probably be overjoyed."

Having someone to rely on is definitely better than being all alone.

Compared to the Empress Dowager supporting princes with Niohuru blood, Fucha Jinyi preferred that the Empress Dowager and Yonghuang be mutually bound together.

In any case, both of them had their own shortcomings, and with Yonghuang as a constraint, the Empress Dowager no longer had a legitimate reason to interfere in the issue of offspring in the harem.

Heaven knows how much Empress Fucha Jin Yi disliked the Empress Dowager. All the things she did before were pushing the Empress's limits.

With her back to Hongli, Fucha Jinyi smiled, feeling a sense of relief.

Hongli was unaware that the Empress was secretly gloating. He had never paid much attention to Yonghuang, and his visit to the Prince's Residence was merely a routine matter.

But by a twist of fate, Yonghuang's miserable state awakened a sense of pity in Hongli's heart.

No one knows how long this thing will exist, but at this moment, the Empress's words do indeed tempt Hongli.

"Your Majesty, you are right. We should go and see Yonghuang. This child has been very well-behaved and sensible since Consort Zhe passed away. Over the years, I have not paid enough attention to him."

After Hongli finished speaking, he nodded to Fucha Jinyi and stepped into the inner room.

Seeing this, Fucha Jinyi turned around and followed. The couple came in one after the other, and their eyes met those of Yonghuang, who was looking out expectantly.

"Father Emperor, Mother Emperor"

Yonghuang was well-versed in the art of feigning innocence and playing the victim, understanding that in such a vulnerable state, it was the perfect time to speak up and seek benefits for himself.

Just as she was about to subtly introduce herself to the Cining Palace, Fucha Jinyi spoke directly, announcing the good news that Yonghuang was being raised by the Empress Dowager.

Yonghuang: ...Huh?

Yonghuang stared blankly at Hongli in disbelief. "Father, is this true?" He hadn't even exerted his power yet.

Hongli stood by the bed, smiling as he straightened the blankets draped over Yonghuang. "Your mother is right."

Your father thinks you are lonely in the princes' quarters, and your mother also suggested that you should have an elder by your side. It just so happens that your grandmother is lonely in the Cining Palace.

Now that you've gone to live in the Cining Palace, you must take good care of and be filial to your imperial grandmother.

Upon hearing this, Yonghuang was stunned into silence, never expecting things to proceed so smoothly.

Could it be that it was the Empress Dowager who gave her the advice? Otherwise, why would the Empress Dowager speak up for her?

In Yonghuang's memory, or rather, in Yonghuang's not-so-bright little mind, his mother clearly disliked and feared him.

When his mother was still alive, she said that he was of noble status and most likely to threaten his second brother's position, so he should be extra careful of his mother and his second brother and son.

But then her second brother passed away, and her mother gave birth to a little princess. Was this a reconciliation with herself?

Yonghuang was genuinely confused about the situation; he didn't even have the ability to analyze the situation, and his mind was filled with useless thoughts.

If Fucha Jinyi had known that Yonghuang could be so imaginative, she would have definitely sent him to Cining Palace long ago. After all, such a person who drags you down is an excellent candidate to be your opponent.

"Father, Mother, rest assured, your son understands."

"Alright, Yonghuang, take good care of yourself. Your father will come to see you when he has time."

"Yonghuang, if there's anything you need, send someone to Changchun Palace to find the Empress Dowager."

"..."

Hongli and Fucha Jinyi exchanged a few words of instruction before leaving the inner room one after the other.

They did not return to Changchun Palace or Yangxin Hall together; the couple parted ways directly at the entrance of the Princes' Residence.

Hongli had to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to handle state affairs, while Fucha Jinyi needed to go to the Cining Palace on his behalf, since Yonghuang was to be handed over to the Empress Dowager for upbringing (although the Empress Dowager had not yet received any definite news), and someone had to inform her.

Fucha Jinyi: ...Hongli, you're such a dog.
