Because in this way, you won't be trapped by love.
He can not only balance the government and the opposition, but also control the harem.
The emperor's thoughts were always exposed in front of Lin Wanyi.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it is difficult to tell who his preferred successor is.
Nowadays, except for the fourth prince who has become disabled and has withdrawn from the throne, there are only a few candidates.
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince are all possible.
So everyone is watching closely.
Especially Yifei.
But if Lin Wanyi said it herself, she didn't want her child to sit in that high position.
The imperial road is destined to be lonely.
And the road is full of calculations and thorns.
If you serve the people diligently, it will definitely affect yourself. Therefore, emperors from ancient times have not been considered long-lived.
But if the government is neglected, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.
He will be blamed by God and the people.
Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing.
But now that the children are older, they say they are the second prince.
The only things she can intervene in now are small issues such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. As for what the Tutor teaches and what the Queen Mother recommends, it is not her decision.
She would not use her own thoughts to tie up the children, so she did not interfere.
Anyway, the children are still young, so everything should be done slowly.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the children coming back one after another.
The first ones to come back were naturally the fifth prince and the third princess, who were being held by the nuns.
Both of them have grown up now, and their appearance has become more and more beautiful.
There is a bright innocence in his round eyes.
But if you look carefully, you can still see the differences between the two brothers.
For example, the fifth prince's eyes are more cunning, while the third princess's eyes are more tranquil.
Silence and movement are really different at all.
Around their necks were white jade and gold locks given by the fourth princess.
It makes it even more cute.
Just like New Year picture dolls, they are festive and lovable.
As soon as they entered the door, they smiled when they saw Lin Wanyi.
Reach out for a hug.
Although I can't say anything yet, I am already laughing.
Especially the fifth prince, who had such a loud voice that Lin Wanyi's ears hurt sometimes.
But my own children can never be loved enough.
She wanted to take two of them in one hand, but she was so slender that there was no way she could hold them.
So the emperor stepped in and took the fifth prince away.
The fifth prince saw that he was his father, but he didn't refuse much.
It's just that compared to the soft and waxy body of mother concubine Lin Wanyi, the father's body is somewhat awkward.
But he is not a delicate little cutie, so just bear with him.
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking.
Just looking at his strong appearance, I felt very happy.
"The last time I saw him, he had slipped a little. I think he would be able to stand in May or June."
"Well, some of the nuns said the same thing, saying that he has very good bones and should be able to walk earlier."
"That's good. The riding and archery master I've found for him will come in handy soon."
Does a seven- or eight-month-old child need a riding and archery master?
Lin Wanyi's jaw was really shocked.
"Your Majesty, is it too early?"
Lin Wanyi expressed his concerns.
"Don't worry, children on the grassland can mount their horses as soon as they can walk, so it's not too early."
After the emperor finished speaking, Lin Wanyi completely shut up.
Suddenly I felt that it was better not to get entangled. Anyway, if I get entangled in the end, I probably won't listen to her.
Soon, the second prince, second princess and fourth prince also walked in.
One big and two small, facing the light.
Lin Wanyi felt warm in her heart when she saw it.
"My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father, and to my mother and concubine."
"Well, get up."
"yes."
The second prince has been running around outside for the past two days, so he is a little tanned.
But precisely because he has seen so many things, his whole person has a healthy look.
In a few days, he will be eight years old.
He was running very fast now, almost reaching Lin Wanyi's shoulders.
He finally took out a few bunches of candied haws, and then said to his younger brothers and sisters.
"This fruit is very delicious. Do you want to try it?"
The second princess naturally clapped her hands and said she wanted it. The fourth prince didn't know why, he only saw the second sister clapping her hands, so he also clapped her hands.
The third princess didn't have much reaction, but she saw that the fifth prince was making a fuss again.
His whole body was like a squirming little fat snake, trying to slip out of the emperor's arms.
After he succeeded, as expected, he climbed all the way to the second prince's legs.
When the second prince saw this, he squatted down and carried him directly to the imperial concubine's couch next to him.
Then he said seriously.
"The floor is dirty. Did you know that you have to wipe your hands before eating?"
I don't know if the fifth prince really understood or pretended to understand, he nodded like a rattle.
It made Lin Wanyi smile helplessly.
The second prince gathered his brothers and sisters together, took out the candied haws one by one, and distributed them to the second princess and the fourth prince.
The one he held in his hand was just put in the fifth prince's mouth and gave him a lick.
After all, he only has one tooth, so it is really impossible to bite the candied haws.
In the palace, we eat a lot of gold and expensive dishes, so when we go out, everything is delicious.
This candied haws is sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. When mixed together, it has a different taste.
The fifth prince didn't like sweets very much, so he gave up after licking it twice.
The meat rolled back to the emperor's side, and then he didn't forget to rub his mouth on his clothes.
After seeing a sugary saliva stain appeared under his robe.
The emperor's boiling fatherly love had cooled down a lot.
Staring at the fifth prince, his face looked very ugly.
Unexpectedly, the fifth prince was not afraid at all.
I don’t know who taught it, but I climbed up into the emperor’s arms.
She kissed him softly on the face.
This chirping sound made the emperor really angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
In the end, I could only give him a gentle pat on the buttocks.
Then he reluctantly found a handkerchief, wiped the saliva from his face, and then went to change into new clothes.
Lin Wanyi was already used to this situation.
Ever since the fifth prince started using rice cereal, this kind of drama of using other people's clothes to wipe his mouth has happened every day.
Auntie had obviously prepared a brand new veil for him, which could be used at any time.
If he doesn't like it, he'll do it this way.
Everyone present had been "bullied" by him in this way.
Only the three princesses survived.
I don’t know if it’s the principle of one thing reducing another.
In Lin Wanyi's view, the fifth prince is not afraid of heaven or earth, nor is he afraid of the emperor nor himself.
The only one I'm afraid of is the third princess.
Every time he tried to do something stupid, the third princess would always stop him with a cold look.
I have to say that the bond between the children is really extraordinary.
After eating the candied haws, not long after, the monks delivered the vegetarian meal.
Everyone sat around the table together, and after finishing their last meal outside the palace, they set off back to the palace.
