Qian Shengyan didn't ask in detail. Yinzhen would take care of official matters. She only told Hongli about the affairs of the two residences in Ganxi and the situation of Fucha's childbirth. Finally, she said, "Fujin is good at managing the household. Lvliu has not done anything during this time. Everything in your residence is well-organized. Gao is also a capable person."

"Yes." Hongli smiled even more broadly when talking about the people in his own household.

“It’s just that Fucha’s childbirth this time has been a bit difficult. You should let her rest and recover properly, and don’t rush things,” Qian Shengyan couldn’t help but say. “Your father has already named the child Yonglian. You and Fucha can discuss choosing a nickname for him to call him for now.”

Yinzhen was also impatient. He couldn't wait to have a grandson, even though Hongli's eldest son from a concubine was almost three years old before he was given a name.

Hongli thanked his father and said, "Mother is right. I was also thinking that we should raise Yonglian well first, and then we can talk about other things later."

Qian Shengyan nodded and then told him about the events in the capital. Finally, she sighed and said, "Duanrou is a pitiful woman. Her husband suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away not long after the New Year. She was heartbroken. Fuerguochun took her to the estate for a while. In a few days, after Fucha has finished her confinement, you can take her there to relax as well."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Mother," Hongli replied.

The mother and son chatted for a while. Qian Shengyan tried to explain things concisely, then urged Hongli to go home and see his son without keeping him for a meal.

When Yinzhen arrived, he didn't see Hongli and asked about it. Qian Shengyan gave him a reproachful look, handed him a bowl of soup, and smiled, "Little Seven and Little Eight are so grown up now, and Your Majesty still wants to see them every day. Hongli has been away for so long without seeing Yonglian. How can I keep him any longer?"

"Alright, we'll bring Yaliqi over tomorrow. If not, let her stay at Yongshou Palace for a few days first." Yinzhen was still somewhat concerned about his granddaughter.

Qian Shengyan said, "It's fine to take her in, but let's not let her stay. I'm afraid her mother will worry about her."

Yinzhen didn't mind. The two ate their dinner and chatted about everyday things. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba would occasionally chime in. The family was happy and harmonious, just like any ordinary couple in the world.

In the second palace of Qianxi, Hongli finally held his new son. He had learned from Yinzhen that he no longer had the idea of ​​holding grandsons but not sons. At this moment, he sat by Fucha's bedside and the two talked slowly. However, not long after, Hongli was urinated on by his son. He was not angry. He just smiled and gently pinched his son's chubby face. Fucha did not need the palace servants to do anything. She went to get him new clothes herself.

Outside the Forbidden City, less than a mile away, in Princess Huaiyue's residence, Fuerguochun was angry, her cheeks puffed out as she went to find her riding whip. E Rong'an followed behind her, helpless and amused, and whispered words of persuasion. The letter in her hand, which was burned to half its original size, was eventually discovered by her. Fortunately, Fuerguochun was easy to persuade, and soon the two embraced again, whispering to each other for a while before kissing.

A full moon slowly rose in the sky, illuminating thousands of homes.

Okay, it's completely over!

Thank you all for your support over the past four months. I read every single comment on New Year's Eve. Some of you felt the ending was rushed, but actually, I started considering the ending as early as the beginning of October, around New Year's Eve. Having written this far, I can no longer bear to see anyone die, so I'll let time stand still at this moment. The story has ended, but their tales continue in their world…

Hope to see you all again in this new world!
