What else could Ji Yunhuan say? The emperor had to be a strict father and train the future heir of Dazhao Kingdom, so she certainly couldn't hold him back.
Besides, Han'er is not an ordinary child, and he should indeed start learning to read earlier.
"I understand. Your Majesty went through the same thing when he was little. The late emperor had many children. If Your Majesty wasn't outstanding, you would be outdone and bullied. The Empress Dowager's eyes would tear up every time she mentioned this to me. That's why she dotes on her grandson so much."
"The Queen Mother has always felt sorry for His Majesty. She made His Majesty suffer so much since childhood, and when he grew up, he was sent to the northwest to do the most dangerous and difficult work, but he did not receive the honor and favor he deserved."
The past was gone like smoke, and the emperor had never been one to feel sorry for himself, but seeing how much Huan'er cared about him, he naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.
"When my eldest sister was born, the Northwest was victorious. But when I was born, the Northwest was defeated, and I was disliked by the late emperor. Later, when I grew up, I was the best among the princes in both knowledge and martial arts, but the position of crown prince was delayed. I was the target of public criticism, so I simply asked to go to the Northwest and quell the rebellion there!"
"Huan'er, feel these scars. They're from those early days in the northwest..."
The emperor said this, but his hands did not stop moving. He had already pulled Ji Yunhuan to the bed, revealing his broad chest.
There were several scars crisscrossing his chest, one of which ran down from his heart all the way to his abdomen.
Ji Yunhuan's eyes warmed up, and tears fell, hitting his strong abdominal muscles. She lowered her head and kissed him, following the hideous lines all the way down...
The emperor only felt his lower abdomen tighten, and his whole body seemed to be out of his body. The joy tonight was particularly silent, but also extremely passionate. It made him lose track of the world and wished that time would stay at this moment forever.
If he had known this miraculous effect, he should have shown Huan'er these scars earlier. Before, he was afraid of scaring Huan'er and always subconsciously covered them up.
"It must be very painful, right?" Ji Yunhuan said in a muffled voice.
During the reign of the previous emperor, there were repeated wars in the northwest, the treasury was empty, nine out of ten houses in the border areas were deserted, and there was widespread misery.
The Third Prince, who was less than twenty years old at the time, led his troops to war and finally pacified the northwest, bringing peace to the people. However, after returning to the capital, what awaited him was imprisonment.
How can I not feel pain from these injuries and the grievances in my heart?
Ji Yunhuan even hated the late emperor. How could he treat his own child like this?
The emperor took a deep breath, not because of the pain, as it was an old scar and he had long since lost all feeling. He just felt that Huan'er was being too demanding, and he didn't know whether she was caressing him or torturing him?
"Huan'er, except for you, no one cares about me anymore. Can you please love me more?"
The emperor turned over and pressed Ji Yunhuan under him. The room was filled with fragrance and lingering desire, as if it would last forever.
In the next few days, the emperor was so happy that he didn't want to leave. He seemed to have found a trick and told everyone about the grievances he had suffered since childhood.
Huan'er was indeed heartbroken and let him do whatever he wanted.
As for Qin Yunhan, he was taken care of by the Queen Mother most of the time, and both the grandfather and grandson seemed very happy.
********
In the blink of an eye, it was the Hundred Days Banquet.
Ji Yunhuan was tormented quite a bit by the emperor last night, so he slept until noon today.
Now she has the final say in the entire harem. Even if she lies down for a whole day, no one will say a bad word about her. Instead, the empress dowager will call the emperor over and scold him, asking him to be more restrained.
She didn't have to get up early to pay her respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager even hoped that she would go later, because as soon as she went there, Han'er would cling to her and would not be close to the empress dowager.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother has already carried the Crown Prince to the Hundred Days Banquet. The banquet has been arranged. Your Majesty only needs to accept the audience with the ladies. It won't matter if it's a little late."
Ji Yunhuan said "hmm" lazily and let Taohong help her to wash and dress up. The imperial concubine's dress was heavy and gorgeous, and it took a lot of time to dress up.
********
In the Imperial Garden.
The empress dowager held the little prince and accepted everyone's kneeling worship. The emperor was also there, but the little prince did not like his father and refused to let him hold him.
After everyone stood up, Prince An was the first to step forward and said loudly:
"The Crown Prince is healthy and intelligent, a blessing to the Kingdom of Dazhao. I don't have any good things, but this jade Buddha was blessed by Master Huikong of Izumo Temple. It's a token of my love."
The Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling. Ever since she had her eldest grandson, she felt happy and radiant, as if she was ten years younger.
She ordered someone to take the jade Buddha and hang it on the little prince. "Prince An is so thoughtful that he even made a special trip to ask for it. I heard Xiuqing just gave birth. When she is out of confinement, please bring the child into the palace for me to see."
Princess An gave birth to a little princess, which was what they had wished for, and the couple were very happy.
The Queen Mother rewarded the little princess generously according to the standards for a princess to show her love.
The Princess of Nanning entered the palace with Prince An, and the gift was also prepared by Prince An. It was standard and there were no mistakes.
Princess An was in confinement and could not enter the palace. After all, Prince An was a man and could not take care of the female relatives. He could only instruct his maid Xiaoying to take good care of them and report to him immediately if anything happened.
Nanning sat alone in the corner drinking tea. She actually didn't like such occasions, but she had to attend.
She was a county lady bestowed upon her by the emperor as an exception, and she represented the emperor's face. She had to live in glory so that the world would know that even a woman could be honored and favored if she was loyal to the emperor, let alone a man who could achieve great things.
The noble ladies in the capital did not like her, but among the common people, especially in the Jiangnan area, the people had great respect for the Princess of Nanning and even built a shrine for her.
