Emperor Mingxi's smile deepened. He walked over to Yan Chengyu and said, "Mother, please stop teasing Yu'er. If he cries, won't you be the one feeling distressed?"
A fat hand reached out and tugged at Emperor Mingxi's sleeve. "Ah ah." Yes, yes.
His baby talk made the two of them love him so much that the Queen Mother chirped twice, squeezing the little boy's face flat.

"Mother, I want to bring Yu'er to the Purple Palace to raise him." Emperor Mingxi had this idea a long time ago, but was hindered by the empress.
But now the maid in the Queen's palace has poisoned the Prince. No matter who is behind it, it is her dereliction of duty as a mother.
The Queen Mother frowned as she recalled the Queen's crazy behavior today. "The Queen won't agree. You should also think more about the Queen. If the late Emperor took you away, I would be separated from you and your child. I would also resent it."
Emperor Mingxi had naturally thought about this problem, but as he was the emperor, who did he need to discuss with about what he wanted to do?
But the Queen's motherly love for Yuer is too deep...
"I'm afraid Hui Niang has some resentment towards me." The Queen Mother sighed. She had some affection for the Queen, but it was more of a love for her and her family.
Emperor Mingxi knew the whole story long ago, and he could not deny it. "If I were to come, the result would be the same. Only by keeping Concubine Bao can we play the long game and catch the big fish."
The Queen Mother said nothing more. She was old and did not want to meddle in the affairs of young people.
As long as she can see her lovely grandson every day, that's enough.
-------------------------------------
Early the next morning, Emperor Mingxi came to tell the empress about this matter.
Unexpectedly, the queen did not object, but instead helped pack up a lot of supplies.
She did not mention Yu'er's matter. The Queen believed that His Majesty loved his son as much as she did.
"If you miss Yu'er, you can come to Zichen Palace at any time. When I am busy, I will bring Yu'er here." Emperor Mingxi said in a deep voice.
The Queen bowed and raised her beautiful face, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I was rude yesterday. Please forgive me."
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand and said, "I don't care. If I were in your place, I'd probably be even worse than you."
The little fat boy Yan Chengyu was still sleeping. I don’t know what sweet dream he was having, but his smile was so cute.
Looking at him, the Queen felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. "Your Majesty, please take Yu'er with you. I, the concubine, will also go to take care of the palace affairs."
Emperor Mingxi was very satisfied with the queen. "Okay, the affairs of the harem will be handed over to the queen."
Emperor Mingxi would hold Yan Chengyu in his arms whenever he had time, and this time was no exception.
The queen bowed respectfully and saw him off until the imperial carriage drove away.
Yunxiang saw the Queen's reluctance and felt a little distressed. "If the Queen doesn't agree, I don't think His Majesty will force it."
As the Queen walked towards the inner hall, she said, "Your Majesty loves Yu'er very much and has had this idea for a long time. Rather than letting Your Majesty feel bad about me, it is better to help him achieve his goal."
Besides, the harem will not be peaceful now that I have Yu'er. The concubines in the other palaces will also have this wish. Only power in my hands can protect my Yu'er. "
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
Outside the palace, Prince An’s Mansion.
Prince An was talking to the Crown Prince.
Prince An had no intention of seizing the throne, as he had been honest since childhood.
Otherwise, based on Emperor Mingxi's attitude towards his brothers, he and Prince Ping would have been either imprisoned or exiled, and no one would have cared about them even after their death.
But as his eldest son grew up day by day, until he came of age, His Majesty still had no children.
This must be adopted from a clan relative, and the candidate is either the Prince of An or the Prince of Ping.
Gradually, some ministers in the court began to make friends with Prince An in private, and His Majesty's attitude was also ambiguous.
Neither admitting nor denying, the message conveyed made Prince An feel very hot in his heart.
In a short while, Prince An's mansion was crowded with people.
All the civil and military officials in the court said that Prince An would be the next emperor.
This made the people in Prince An's mansion proud for a long time, and even the servants in the mansion held their heads high when they walked out.
But ever since the news of a concubine being pregnant spread in the palace, all of them, whether they were eager to curry favor with her or those with whom they had a close relationship before, ran away as fast as they could.
He was afraid that he would be involved with Prince An.
Prince An was unwilling, but what else could he do?
His royal brother has the entire Dazhao firmly in his hands, and the few secret agents he has are all wandering on the edge.
The most powerful one among them was lucky enough to follow the current queen.
Fortunately, he was used to acting as a grandson, so although there was a gap, it was not unacceptable.
The entire Dazhao was paying attention to whether the concubine was pregnant with a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, there would be someone to carry on the throne, and he would give up.
If it was a girl, he could at least dream about her. Although, given how protective his brother was of her, she might even become an empress.
But there’s a chance of that happening.
He waited and waited until the prince was born.
Unexpectedly, the prince was weak, and some rumors spread that the prince would not live long.
This frightened Prince An, and he didn't do anything even though his life was in danger! But His Majesty was definitely suspicious of him, which made him live in fear every day.
After being severely reprimanded by His Majesty yesterday, Prince An no longer had this idea at all. He had not lived enough.
But after thinking about it today, he decided to warn his eldest son.
"Did you listen to what Father said?"
Yan Zeli was unwilling to give in. "But Your Majesty scolded the ministers again yesterday. If that person wasn't weak, why would you oppress him so many times?"
Prince An's eyes widened. "If you can give birth to one, why can't you give birth to a second?"
Yan Zeli paused for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "I understand, father."
Seeing that the prince seemed to have listened, Prince An left with his big belly.
Yan Zeli was left standing there, looking at the fish swimming in the pond with a deep gaze.
