Shun'an Yan holds an official position and is now a prince consort, with the Tongjia clan supporting him. Naturally, he has many opportunities to meet the emperor on a daily basis.

"This fourth brother has been frequently asking Shun An Yan for tea lately..."

Consort De sensed amusement in His Majesty's tone. With a sense of certainty, she followed his words and said, "The Fourth Prince is also only thinking about Wen Xian. I'm afraid he has offended Shun An Yan's dignity. Tomorrow, I will have someone go and apologize to him on his behalf."

Consort De was unwilling to mention the late Empress Xiaoyiren.

At this time, His Majesty did not mention it. When the Fourth Prince was mentioned, His Majesty seemed to smile: "The Fourth Prince is a good boy. He is soft-hearted and values ​​relationships. He is the only one who is truly concerned about the Thirteenth Prince's marriage."

The word "soft-hearted" can be interpreted as weak and indecisive, but His Majesty added the phrase "valuing relationships" afterward, which naturally indicates His Majesty's approval of the fourth prince.

Consort De smiled, a hint of joy in her eyes: "If the Fourth Prince were here right now, upon hearing His Majesty's words, he would probably know his place. This is how brothers should be. Sister Zhangjia left early..."

Consort De seized the opportunity to play the victim, and also mentioned the two younger sisters of the Thirteenth Prince who had been married off to Mongolia.

The Emperor pondered for a moment, but couldn't recall what his two daughters looked like. He simply said he would ask the envoy when the Mongols came to offer their congratulations on the Golden Festival.

Consort De smiled again.

With His Majesty asking this question, the two princesses' lives will be a little easier.

As for the words of praise, Consort De brushed them aside without leaving a trace.

Before settling her in, the Emperor tapped her and said, "Your temperament is really..."

Consort De simply smiled, her smile gentle: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have a bad temper."

The Emperor waved his hand and laughed, a rare moment of genuine joy: "I didn't say that. You have such a good temperament..."

The two talked for a while longer before settling down together.

Consort De had already made up her mind that His Majesty did not dislike the Fourth Prince's help to the Thirteenth Prince... That was good. All she could do was occasionally try to find out His Majesty's intentions and guide the children in the right direction.

She was relieved that the children were doing well.
