TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 154 Yixiu 23

"My son, please pay your respects to the emperor's mother."

"Get up, why are you crying like that? It's just a few words, it's not like you lost a piece of meat."

Although Hongli had hidden it very well, Yixiu could still see his sadness and cursed the emperor in her heart for being so unkind that he was afraid of such a young child.

This is my biological child. If you have the guts, come and scold me.

You want to save face but don't want to suffer any loss.

It was true that he was framed in the first place, but what does this have to do with the child? If you have the guts, go find the culprit.

Oh~yes, the real culprit behind the scenes was also dealt with by him.

"Empress Huang's mother!"

Hongli slowly raised his head, trying hard to control the tears from falling.

He was not frightened when he heard the queen's contemptuous words towards the king, but the grievance in his heart was aroused.

Yixiu asked Jianqiu to bring him some snow pear soup, and watched him drink it mouthful by mouthful with tears in his eyes.

It took a while for Hongli to calm down.

Just for this moment of warmth, he could no longer continue to cause trouble for the Queen.

"Empress Mother, the Emperor hates me. From now on, I will not be able to show my filial piety to you. Please don't blame me."

Yixiu chuckled when he heard this, "You thought about it for so long and this is the only thing you could think of?"

Hongli looked at Yixiu in confusion, "Please enlighten me, Empress Dowager."

"Don't worry about the emperor, and don't care too much about your background. Your mother was just being used. There's no need to feel inferior because of this."

"The emperor doesn't like you because he was incompetent in the past, which is why he was schemed against. It doesn't mean that your existence is unlucky."

Hongli clenched his hands tightly together, as if all his face had been peeled off. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and lowered his head little by little.

He was afraid of seeing the contempt in Yixiu's eyes that would frighten him.

There is no doubt that in the young Hongli's heart, what the queen said hit the mark.

However, his long-term vigilance made him dare not believe it easily. Such words were more like a provocation, a sweet cake wrapped in poison.

"Mother Empress, as a son, how dare I question my father? I will always remember your concern and care, and today's conversation will never be shared with anyone else."

After saying that, he kindly reminded me.

"In that case, it would be better for Empress Dowager to say less."

Yixiu stood up and walked down slowly, looking at Hongli's fearful look, she burst into laughter.

She walked up to Hongli and reached out to touch his head.

Hongli subconsciously moved closer so that she could easily touch his head.

Yixiu's hand paused, then rubbed the other person's head twice lightly.

The fleeting warmth made Hongli lower his head in disappointment, hoping that this moment could last longer.

"Don't think too much, little kid. Go back and study hard. You will understand later."

"Don't worry about other things. No one will make things difficult for you once you leave here today."

Hongli didn't know how he got out, his mind was full of the map that the queen showed him.

"As long as you have enough ability and resources, you can conquer the world with your own hands. You will be the new master there, and your father will only inherit the position of his ancestors."

A few casual words of instigation stimulated Hongli's heart, and he wanted to grow up immediately and establish his own power.

As for whether Prince Wuling could go out, this was not within his consideration at all.

Jianqiu felt helpless as she watched Hongli leaving.

"Your Majesty, will the Fourth Prince really be moved by your tricks? This is not a simple matter."

"If it succeeds, will the Third Prince really inherit the throne? But Concubine Qi is still here, after all..."

Yixiu raised her hand and motioned Huichun to bring over one of the vases.

He casually replied, "You underestimate the allure of entrepreneurship for the second generation. They are very persistent in surpassing the glory of their parents."

"Especially someone like Hongli who is not favored by his father, he has to work hard to prove his ability."

"The emperor has just ascended the throne, why are you worrying so much? Can't you tell whether the third prince is suitable to be the emperor?"

Yixiu frowned and fiddled with the lotus in front of her, not caring about Jianqiu's anxiety.

I’ve seen flower buds folded into blooming shapes before. How do you do it?

"My Lady, you need to make plans early."

Even if she knew many secrets, in Jianqiu's heart, Yixiu was still the weak and pitiful one who needed careful planning.

This mentality of an old hen protecting her chicks cannot be shaken in the slightest no matter how Yixiu shows off his strength.

The only thing that comforted Yixiu was that Jianqiu would not make any decision under the banner of doing good for her.

"This... the Third Prince's talent is a little dull, but he is the eldest son after all."

"Okay, I have my own plans, don't worry."

After getting the answer, Jianqiu stopped talking and concentrated on accompanying Yixiu to play with these little gadgets to relieve boredom.

The day of Wen Yi’s first birthday soon arrived.

According to the emperor's wishes, the banquet was held in a grand manner. In addition to the imperial concubines, members of the royal family also attended the banquet.

Concubine Cao was particularly happy about this. The more attention her daughter received, the better her future life would be.

No one was planning to cause trouble, so the banquet went smoothly and warmly.

Everyone prepared gifts for Wen Yi, among which Hua Fei's was the most precious. She did not bother to look at other people's faces. Wen Yi lived in the same palace with her, so it would not be a big deal if she loved her more.

All of this was seen by Concubine Li, and the entry of Zhen Huan and others into the palace had a huge impact on her.

Her presence has almost become the weakest. The Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin, whom she looked down upon in the past, now have children, even if it is just a princess, it makes a difference.

She tried to please the emperor several times but failed to win back his heart. Even her biggest backer, Concubine Hua, did not value her as much as usual.

All these made Concubine Li very depressed. She drank cup after cup, but she could do nothing about it.

"I see that Wen Yi is feeling better lately, and her complexion is also better. Concubine Cao is really taking good care of the princess."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Wen Yi has a gentle personality and doesn't cry or make a fuss. It's probably because she didn't eat enough during the summer heat."

Knowing that Concubine Hua didn't want to attract the emperor's attention, Concubine Cao didn't mention it any further.

Hearing that his daughter was in good health, the emperor was also happy. He waved his hand and gave her a lot of gifts.

"The weather is indeed hot. The princes and princesses must take good care of themselves."

Concubine Qi couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately started talking about the Third Prince. She had long been dissatisfied with this grand birthday party, as her son was the eldest son.

This year, the Third Prince’s birthday banquet must be held by the Emperor in a more grand manner.

"The Third Prince has grown quite a bit taller recently. He has always been in good health and rarely gets sick."

Yixiu almost couldn't help laughing when she heard this. The joke she had seen before had left such a deep impression on her that her mind was now full of the giants of the Qing Dynasty.

The Third Prince who is taller than the Forbidden City.

It’s all the system’s fault. Just broadcast the drama. Why broadcast these derivative products?
