Big Fatty Orange pondered that since Sun Miaoqing's body would not be able to conceive again for several years, having her adopt a child would be a solution.
But which one should he choose...?
The Third Prince Hongshi is definitely not suitable. Consort Qi is still alive and has not made any mistakes. Even if he forcibly hands Hongshi over to Sun Miaoqing, Sun Miaoqing will definitely not be happy.
After all, Hongshi has grown up and is long past the age of forgetting things. No matter how much effort you put into raising him, he can't be truly acquainted with her because of his birth mother.
As for the Fourth Prince Hongli? The fat man frowned. He was very annoyed at the thought of this son who had been raised in the Yuanmingyuan Garden and whom he had hardly ever seen.
The eighth and ninth princes truly deserve to die for using an ugly and lowly palace maid like Li Jingui to humiliate and scheme against him.
As a result, he was not only reprimanded by his father, almost lost his title of Prince Yong, but was also ridiculed by the entire capital.
Even now, Fatty Orange still remembers how he was nearly scared to death when he woke up the next day. For the next two whole months, he had no interest in going into the inner quarters.
Since neither the Third Prince Hongshi nor the Fourth Prince Hongli were suitable, that left only the Fifth Prince Hongzhou.
Hongzhou's birth mother has passed away, and he is currently being raised by Prince Zhuang. He is not yet three years old, which is a suitable age, but his health is rather weak.
That penicillin...
Before long, the chubby orange had thought of all this and made up its mind.
However, Big Fat Orange still wanted to test Sun Miaoqing's thoughts.
"Since you put it that way, I owe you a child, so I will return a child to you. What do you say?"
Sun Miaoqing stopped crying, her eyes wide open, filled with surprise.
"What does His Majesty mean?"
The chubby orange said, "Although I don't have many princes and princesses, I do have a few. I'm thinking of entrusting one of them to you to raise, and you will be their mother from now on."
Sun Miaoqing was somewhat pleased, but then worriedly said, "I understand Your Majesty's good intentions. I have always dreamed of having a child, like Princess Wenyi, who is so adorable."
"Your Majesty, I am of limited learning and knowledge, and I fear I lack the ability to raise a prince. Both princesses' birth mothers are still alive, and I have only recently lost my child; I know how painful that is. How can I bear to let Consort Xin or Noble Lady Cao suffer such pain as well?"
[Big Fatty Orange is testing me. He probably doesn't want me to raise a prince, since I'm close to Fatty Hua.]
My brother said he would find a way to sever ties with Nian Gengyao and stay in a remote, impoverished place for a few years, so I shouldn't worry.
[So much time has passed, and we haven't heard a word. We have no idea what's going on at home.]
[Isn't it tiring to be so cunning? I'm such a simple person, it's really hard for me to adapt...]
Mental illnesses can be cured, but paranoia is incurable... Indeed, studying medicine couldn't save the Qing Dynasty.
The incurable fat orange...
Inhale ~ Exhale ~
Take a deep breath~
Having experienced a lot, he has developed his own way of regulating his mood, although it's not very effective.
Putting aside Sun Miaoqing's rebellious ideas, extract the key information.
Sure enough, no matter how good the relationship seemed to the concubines in his harem, it couldn't be taken seriously. Like this Consort He in front of him—he almost actually believed they were sisters!
With her worries eased, the chubby orange said, "Consort Xin and Consort Cao are of low status and are not qualified to raise the princess."
"But I am mindful of the natural bond between mother and daughter, and I cannot bear to separate them."
Sun Miaoqing's lips curled slightly, then quickly fell silent, and she asked hesitantly,
"Does Your Majesty intend for me to raise the prince?"
"The Third Prince is already so grown up, and Consort Qi is doing well, how can I..."
Big Fat Orange said, "There are many princes in the palace who do not have birth mothers to take care of them. Fifth Prince Hongzhou is still young. It is not right to always leave him outside the palace to be raised. You are the perfect person to be his adoptive mother."
"Is Your Majesty truly speaking?"
The sorrow and grief on Sun Miaoqing's face faded considerably after being hit by this unexpected treat. The tension in Da Pang Ju's heart finally eased, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
With the matter resolved, his guilt lessened considerably.
"My words are law, how could they be false?"
"Once you have recovered, I will have someone bring Hongzhou back so that you can have your wish fulfilled."
Sun Miaoqing "struggled" to get up and express her gratitude, but was stopped by the big fat orange.
"You are in poor health, so there's no need for such formalities."
Sun Miaoqing said with emotion, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your kindness. I will definitely take good care of the Fifth Prince."
【Oh dear, I have a son now! After my chubby orange cat dies, I can finally be taken away to enjoy my old age in peace. I won't have to worry about sleeping in a dormitory behind the Cining Palace anymore!】
[No, Hongzhou, wait a few more days and Mom will bring you back. I'll definitely raise you into a well-rounded successor to socialism, excelling in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor!]
Big Fat Orange: You think you can enjoy your son's blessings after he dies? Dream on!
He insisted on adding a sentence to his will, requiring Sun Miaoqing to guard the imperial tomb for the rest of her life!
