Then, the Third Prince Hongshi looked at Consort Qi and said solemnly, "Mother, I have always known that everything you have done is for my own good."

So Mother, you didn't harm me, you don't need to blame yourself at all.

Mother, if you feel guilty, how can your son bear it?

Consort Qi smiled, then sighed before saying, "So Hongshi, promise your mother you will live well."

Stop thinking about things that don't belong to you.

And similarly, we shouldn't be so stubborn anymore.

You have to face this reality.

When your father was still a prince.

Mother and Lady Nian were wives second only to the Empress.

Niohuru and Chen were merely concubines.

At that time, you were considered your father's eldest son.

Ah, if only nothing had changed.

You might end up like Hongxi and Hongchun, who were also born to concubines.

But everything changed after your father ascended the throne.

Third Prince Hongshi quickly said, "Mother, don't worry."

I am no longer the same young and impetuous person I was back then.

I'm not the same stubborn and arrogant person I used to be because of my status anymore.

Moreover, I now know perfectly well whether I have the ability or not.

Upon hearing this, Consort Qi nodded with a look of satisfaction.

At this moment, Third Prince Hongshi said with a worried look, "Mother, why don't you go and rest now?"

Tomorrow, I will also go to the palace to accompany you. Mother, if there's anything else you'd like to say, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

Consort Qi shook her head and comforted Third Prince Hongshi, saying, "It's alright, Hongshi, don't worry."

Before you entered the palace, your mother was already resting.

Oh dear, Mother has been resting for a long time today.

"Now is a time of boredom, you can keep your mother company and talk to her."

Third Prince Hongshi immediately said, "But Mother, you should rest for a while now."

Consort Qi nodded and said softly, "Yes, Hongshi, don't worry."

Mother isn't that foolish; she won't stubbornly insist on enduring it.

Mother is feeling a bit tired and will definitely need to rest for a while.

At the same time, she sighed inwardly and murmured to herself: Hongshi, your mother knows her own body.

Mother is afraid that before she can finish saying what she wants to say to you, she will never have the chance again.

Next, Consort Qi rested for a while.

After a long pause, Consort Qi continued softly, "Hongshi, your mother knows that Guarjia is a good person."

And your mother knows that you value her very much.

She is a very intelligent person. To be honest, you are lucky to have married her.

Cough cough cough, ever since she married you, your temper has become much more restrained without you even realizing it.

So you must treat her well from now on, and work together as a couple to make your life better.”

Third Prince Hongshi nodded and said solemnly, "Mother, Guarjia has indeed helped her son a lot."

Since she married me, I have gradually changed under her influence.

However, I was immature back then and caused her a lot of grievances!

Fortunately, I came to my senses later.

From then on, I never let her suffer any more grievances.

Consort Qi smiled and said gently, "Back then, when your mother saw how well you treated Guarjia, she was even jealous!"

The son she had raised with such care and effort had never listened to his mother before.

As a result, after only a few years of marriage, he became completely obedient to his wife's every word.

Third Prince Hongshi suddenly felt very sad, realizing that he had been extremely unfilial in the past.

If I had acted recklessly and indulged my own whims back then...

I'm sure I'll get myself into big trouble!

The person who will be most heartbroken at that time will definitely be her own mother.

I am my mother's only living child!

Seeing that Third Prince Hongshi's expression was off, Consort Qi quickly asked, "Hongshi, what's wrong?"

Third Prince Hongshi frowned and said, "Mother, I really worried you back then."

Consort Qi sighed and said softly, "Ah, let's not talk about this anymore."

Just like you told your mother not to blame herself, your mother doesn't want you to blame yourself either.

Upon hearing this, Third Prince Hongshi immediately said, "Okay, Mother, let's not talk about this anymore."

Consort Qi nodded, and then rested for a while.

Then, after thinking for a moment, Consort Qi whispered, "Hongshi, when you have time in the future, try to think of a way."

Think of a way to have two of your grandsons or great-grandsons adopted into the names of Hongfen and Hongyun.

Mother didn't want them to have no one to worship them in the future.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince Hongshi felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He knew that his mother was still worried about him.

She was worried that she might act recklessly after she left, so she arranged this for herself.

She wants to have something to do and something to do for the rest of her life.

The Third Prince Hongshi's eyes were red, and he said softly, "Mother, I promise you."

Is there anything else you want? I'll grant you anything.

...

At the same time, it is a place of exquisite beauty.

At this moment, Ituma Shushu was handling palace affairs in the main hall.

Suddenly, "Dawn Mall" started automatically.

A large red light suddenly lit up in the upper right corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall," flashing intermittently.

Ituma Shushu nearly dropped the ledger from her hand, and it fell to the ground.
