Rose was already used to this situation and could easily come up with all sorts of polite remarks.
"Your Majesty, the Empress said that the Fifth Prince has not seen Your Majesty for several days and misses his father very much, so she asked me to bring the prince here."
Big Fat Orange pulled Hongzhou into his arms, weighed him in his hands, and showed that he was more patient with his youngest son who didn't know any better.
"Yes, I was sick for a few days, but I feel a bit better now, and my chin is even more pointed."
Do you miss your father, the Emperor?
Hongzhou said in a childish voice, "Yes, Mother said if the mountain won't come to me, then I'll come to the mountain."
"Father is busy and doesn't have time to come and keep me company, so I'll go to the trouble of coming to keep you company."
The chubby orange cat moved its lips, but in the end, it didn't utter a single word. Hongzhou, seeing this, said ingratiatingly...
"Father, I didn't hear what you were trying to say. Mother said that Hongzhou is still young and doesn't understand many things. He should ask whatever he wants and not be ashamed to ask questions."
Su Peisheng said, "Fifth Prince, this word cannot be used to describe the Emperor."
Hongzhou tilted his head back innocently and asked, "Why? That's what Mother said. Also, is there a Consort Su in the palace? Why haven't I seen her?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Fifth Prince is still young and may have misheard something. Please forgive me."
Su Peisheng was also puzzled. Where did the Fifth Prince hear this? The Emperor had never bestowed the title of Consort Su upon anyone.
"Is the Fifth Prince referring to Consort Shu, the late Emperor's consort, who is now a nun and the birth mother of Prince Guo?"
Hongzhou didn't understand the terms "Prince Guo" or "becoming a monk," but he could distinguish who the late emperor was, and considerately explained...
"Mother said she was Consort Su, the Emperor's most beloved woman, and her rank was equivalent to that of the Empress."
"Father, what does it mean to be of equal rank to the Empress Dowager?"
"Fifth Prince..."
Before Rose could finish speaking, Big Fat Orange's cold gaze fell on her.
Rose immediately trembled and dared not say another word.
He inwardly resented the Empress for her loose tongue, saying whatever came to mind. Was the Fifth Prince so ignorant, and was the Empress ignorant too?
Su Peisheng finally understood; they were talking about him...
"Your Majesty... what are you talking about!"
