Chapter 278 Consort Fucha
Once everything was ready, Fucha Peiyun boarded the sedan chair and headed towards the prince's residence.
Soon the sedan chair finally stopped in front of the prince's residence.
Fucha Peiyun slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, and Ye'er reached out to help her walk towards the prince's residence.
The palace maids and eunuchs behind them immediately followed.
Holding in her hands were the court robes and auspicious robes prepared for Hongchang, as well as several large food boxes.
The eunuchs of the Prince's residence were already waiting at the door. When they saw the Empress arrive, they all knelt down to pay their respects.
When Hongchang heard Ye Lanyi's report, he learned that his mother had come to see him again.
He was very happy and quickly put down what he was doing to get up and greet him.
Ye Lanyi and Xiao Huzi quickly followed.
Fucha Peiyun entered the prince's residence and saw Hongchang standing at the door.
With an expectant smile on his face,
A surge of tenderness welled up in her heart.
Hongchang is twelve years old this year, a time when he is full of youthful vigor and ambition.
There aren't many features in his eyes that resemble Da Pangju; rather, they resemble Fucha Peiyun more.
At this moment, Hongchang stood tall and straight, like a poplar tree, with a vigorous posture and elegant demeanor.
The four-step movement is light and powerful, each step exuding confidence and determination.
When he saw Fucha Peiyun, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
He quickly stepped forward, bowed, and greeted Fucha Peiyun.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
The voice was clear and melodious, full of intimacy and dependence on the mother.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Hongchang with a smile, her eyes revealing affection and satisfaction.
She gently helped Hongchang up and said softly, "Hongchang, your mother has come to see you and bring you some things."
Hongchang stood up straight and was a little taller than Fucha Peiyun, who was wearing platform shoes.
Fucha Peiyun was very satisfied with this, secretly marveling at how well she had raised her son.
Fucha Peiyun turned around and gestured to the palace maids behind her.
The palace maids understood and respectfully presented the magnificent court robes and auspicious robes.
Fucha Peiyun pointed to the clothes and said to Hongchang:
"These are the new Crown Prince's court robes and auspicious robes made for you by the Imperial Household Department."
You will be wearing them at the investiture ceremony in three days.
Fucha Peiyun's tone carried a hint of pride and anticipation.
Hongchang nodded, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
Fucha Peiyun saw all of this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm very satisfied with Hongchang's performance; Hongchang is still young after all.
She was initially worried that Hongchang would become arrogant and complacent because he was about to become the crown prince.
But now it seems that his son does indeed possess extraordinary composure and calmness.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and said softly:
"Your mother even specially arranged for someone to prepare your favorite dishes and snacks."
"It's been a long time since we've dined together. Let's eat together here at the Prince's Residence today."
When Hongchang heard that his mother had prepared his favorite food, his eyes lit up immediately.
His previously calm face immediately broke into a joyful smile.
His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he spoke impatiently:
"Great, Mother, I'm just hungry."
After saying that, he playfully touched his belly, which made Fucha Peiyun chuckle.
Fucha Peiyun smiled, took Hongchang's hand, and continued walking inside.
Upon arriving at Hongchang's residence, the mother and son went directly to the living room.
Fucha Peiyun had the palace maids open the food boxes, which were filled with various snacks and dishes that Hongchang liked.
The room was filled with an enticing aroma, and Hongchang couldn't help but swallow, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Looking at Hongchang, Fucha Peiyun said gently:
"Hongchang, eat slowly, don't rush, these are all specially prepared for you by your mother."
Hongchang nodded and eagerly picked up his chopsticks.
He picked up a piece of his favorite spicy chicken, took a small bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Fucha Peiyun watched quietly from the side, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
After Hongchang swallowed the food in his mouth, Fucha Peiyun said seriously:
"Hongchang, your investiture ceremony is in three days. This is the most important moment of your life."
Remember this: from this day forward, you are the crown prince, bearing the future of the nation and the hopes of its people.
Hongchang raised his head, looked firmly at Fucha Peiyun, and said earnestly:
“Mother, I understand.”
Your son will study hard, live up to your expectations, and become a qualified crown prince.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and nodded, her heart filled with confidence in Hongchang.
She knew that her son had grown up and was capable of taking on this responsibility.
"Your mother knows you've been very busy lately, but you still need to make time to visit your father and take care of him while he's ill."
Hongchang nodded and said solemnly, "Mother, don't worry, I understand."
Fucha Peiyun wasn't the type to particularly enjoy discussing serious matters during meals.
He gave a few brief instructions and then stopped talking, focusing on having a meal with his son.
After the meal, the palace maids and eunuchs quickly cleared away the leftovers.
Fucha Peiyun asked Xiaohuzi to prepare water for Hongchang to wash up quickly.
Have Hongchang try on the Crown Prince's court robes and auspicious attire to see if they fit.
Hongchang nodded and followed Xiaohuzi into the inner room.
A short while later, he came out dressed in the crown prince's court robes.
The golden court robe he wore made him look exceptionally dignified.
The dragon pattern comes to life under the light, as if it is about to ride the clouds and fly away.
Although Hongchang is still young, he has a tall and straight posture.
The court robes looked perfectly natural on him, instead accentuating his dashing appearance.
When Fucha Peiyun saw her son dressed in court robes, a look of relief and pride flashed in her eyes.
Wearing this court robe, one feels dignified and imposing, exuding a powerful aura.
This is far superior to those young heartthrobs; if I wore this out in the palace, many maids would probably be tempted by me.
Ye Lanyi and Xiao Huzi will probably have to put even more effort into taking care of those flowers and plants.
Fucha Peiyun stepped forward, carefully examined Hongchang, adjusted the collar of her court robe, and said:
"It fits perfectly. It seems the people from the Imperial Household Department are quite capable."
Hongchang stood before his mother, bowing slightly as Fucha Peiyun adjusted his court robes.
Although he is young, his eyes reveal a maturity and composure beyond his years.
Looking at her son, Fucha Peiyun was filled with emotion. She said softly:
“Hongchang, wearing this court robe means you have a responsibility and a mission.”
You must always remember that you are the future of the Qing Dynasty and the hope of the people.
Hongchang raised his head, looked firmly at Fucha Peiyun, and solemnly said:
“Mother, I understand.”
Your son will certainly work hard to live up to your expectations, and also to Father Emperor's expectations.
Fucha Peiyun watched as Hongchang tried on his court robes and auspicious robes one by one, and they all fit him well.
Only then were the court robes and formal attire properly put away.
Instruct Ye Lanyi and Xiao Huzi to be wary of anyone tampering with their court and formal attire.
Ye Lanyi and Xiao Huzi quickly agreed.
After explaining all this, Fucha Peiyun led her people back to Kunning Palace.
