No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 611 For Dreams

Yaliqi was showing off and Lin Mingyan was laughing so hard that she was shaking.

She was really interested in Lin Daiyu and wanted to meet her if she had the chance.

The book Dream of the Red Chamber did not exist yet, and she would not be the immortal grass that came down to earth to repay her gratitude. What an interesting little girl.

When the Fourth Master came, he was also amused.

The person who was most hurt in the whole audience was Hongyun. He even asked Yaliqi privately: "Second sister, Miss Lin...did she really say that to me?"

He has never had any competitive spirit and usually avoids doing anything if possible.

In fact, many people said behind his back that he was a useless prince, but he didn't care.

But when he thought that the person who said that was Miss Lin, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

I didn’t even enjoy my meal, and I even ate two fewer cupcakes.

Yaliqi smiled: "Ms. Lin would never say bad things about others behind their backs. This is what your sister said!"

"But think about it, are these words something Miss Lin could say?"

Hongyun... Hongyun was unable to refute. The tone was indeed imitated vividly.

Seeing that he had taken her words in, Yaliqi continued to poke her heart: "Don't you want Miss Lin to refute you with this statement when you ask someone to propose marriage one day?"

"Hiss~ Of course not!" Hongyun shook his head like a rattle.

Whenever he thought of such a scene, he felt uncomfortable all over and even couldn't sit still.

Yaliqi was very disappointed: "Then you have to make progress!"

"You've been reborn as a prince, and you're not talking about working hard to get promoted. You can't just lie around with your wife all day, right?"

Hongyun secretly clenched his fists and nodded.

After returning to the room, he began to think, how can he change?

He has become accustomed to laziness and has no energy to do anything.

Just like my mother said, he is one of those people who likes to lie down. He won't stand up if he can lie down.

If I force myself to study hard and practice martial arts for Miss Lin today, then will the hardships be blamed on her?

Not to mention that they haven't even started dating yet, he only has a vague affection for them in his heart, and the future is still unknown.

Even if they really get married in the future, will he blame all the pain on her?

Hongyun is confused. It is really difficult to change himself.

Since he couldn't keep problems to himself, he found Lin Mingyan the next day and asked for her opinion.

He reluctantly sent all the servants out of the hall, and then sat down next to Lin Mingyan.

"Empress Dowager, are you free now?" His tone was a little dizzy.

Lin Mingyan understood that even if there was a big problem, it was not as important as her son.

She hugged Hongyun and asked, "What's wrong? Yun'er, do you want to see mother for something?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Hongyun whispered his confusion.

Lin Mingyan couldn't help but think of a TV drama, which seemed to be about a poor boy who said he would work hard to marry a rich and beautiful woman before he even did anything with her.

Although Hongyun is not a poor boy, the prince, who is originally lazy, is also motivated by the person he likes. The same principle applies.

Lin Mingyan remembered what the heroine said at that time.

Don't put all this on my head. You work hard because you want to, not because you want to marry me.

Otherwise, every misfortune you encounter in the future will be blamed on me.

Lin Mingyan also advised Hongyun in the same way: "If you want to change, it is because you want to change, not for anyone else."

She stroked the little guy's head and whispered in his ear, "Even if Yun'er does nothing, the Empress Dowager and your Father-in-law will still love you."

When Hongyun was still young, she and the Fourth Master tried their best to correct him, but that was just the boy's nature and there was no way to change him.

But that doesn’t mean he is not a good boy, and they just let things take their course.

Hongyun thought about it seriously and nodded firmly: "My son wants to change, but..."

"how?"

"But my son doesn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, nor does he like martial arts. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."

Hongyun knows himself very well. If he is asked to study hard, he will definitely not be able to persist for more than a few days.

"Then what do you like?" Lin Mingyan asked patiently.

Hongyun couldn't think of an answer, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Do you like to eat?"

Lin Mingyan encouraged: "That's fine, you can also make a name for yourself by eating well."

"You see, Su Dongpo liked it, didn't he? He even invented Dongpo pork."

"Having the skill of eating well in life can also bring many surprises to your family."

Hong Yun hesitated and said, "But isn't this too shameful?"

"Of course not. We all live our lives. Why should it concern the public?"

Hongyun nodded: "Okay, then I'll start my research from food!"

He has been sitting back and waiting to die for so many years, and has never seriously thought about how the food is made?

Now that I've paid attention to it, I'm actually quite interested.

Seeing that the guidance was successful, Lin Mingyan reminded him, "Don't you like reading storybooks? This is also a direction."

The Qing Dynasty was the period when novels were on the rise. Hongyun was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, but vernacular novels were an exception.

Moreover, at that time, apart from singing and dancing, there was opera, and the form of stage play had not yet emerged.

If Hongyun is interested, she can also give him some pointers, and then she will have a good stage play to watch~~

Sure enough, when Hongyun mentioned this, his eyes suddenly widened and became bright.

"Mother, are you saying that your son will write his own storybook?" Hongyun opened his eyes wide and looked cute.

Lin Mingyan nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, aren't all storybooks written by people?"

Not to mention thirteen or fourteen years old, even in modern times, some great players have signed contracts at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

What's more, many vernacular books in ancient times were written by poor students to make money to support their families. Some of them started writing as soon as they could recognize all the characters.

Hongyun had never thought about it from this perspective, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Miss Lin is also an elegant person. They are also discussing setting up a poetry club in the Imperial College where they can compete in poetry.

He is pretty good at writing poetry, and it has some spirit, but he hasn't studied enough, so his level is not very high.

But if he joins a literary society and writes storybooks, he will be like a fish in water.

After all, he has read quite a few novels, many of which he secretly took back from the Empress Dowager, hehe.

"Empress Mother, I know what to do!" Hongyun immediately felt full of fighting spirit.

What he was fighting for was something that interested him, which happened to be the same as Miss Lin's.

At this moment, he no longer changed himself for others, but for his dream!
