Ye Lanyin pursed her lips, unsure how to explain.
Finally, through a combination of coaxing and deception, they got Huaxin and Huamei to take Lin Wanwan outside the courtyard.
The three of them sat heavily in their chairs.
"Mother, what's going on? When did you hear my sister's thoughts?" Lin Rui'an broke the silence.
Ye Lanyin sighed, "On the first day of her birth, when the midwife tried to strangle her."
"So, what you told me that day, that the food in my yard wasn't found by chance, but rather because you listened to your sister's feelings and found it out."
Ye Lanyin nodded, and a tear fell.
Lin Rui'an and Lin Chang'an were flustered and didn't know how to comfort her.
The two quickly embraced Ye Lanyin.
"Mother, don't be sad. Your son understands now and won't let you face this alone." Lin Ruian felt a tightness in his chest.
Then, Ye Lanyin stared at them blankly.
"Shiming... is not your mother's son. He was switched at birth."
"What?" Lin Rui'an clenched his fists.
Ye Lanyin put her finger to her lips. "Shh, I only found out about this after hearing your sister's thoughts. She's still alive."
"So, the current task is to find his whereabouts."
"Don't alert him. If you anger him, he might hide you away."
My younger sister is three months old now, and I have endured this for three months.
For the past three months, they thought it was just about their own affairs.
Lin Chang'an burst into tears, "Mother, we've been calling you Father for so many years, and you're actually a liar."
"None of you can reveal that you can hear your sister's thoughts, understand?"
“I understand, son,” Lin Rui’an said calmly.
If it weren't for their sister, they would never have known that their fate was tied to someone else's conspiracy.
Ye Lanyin quietly hugged them, her vision blurred with tears.
"It was Mother who was blinded by lard, it was Mother's fault."
After a long while, Ye Lanyin and the other two opened the door.
Lin Wanwan rolled over on the ground, grinning happily.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and every time the little guy turned over, his chubby body was imprinted on it.
【tasty. 】
She grabbed some snow from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth.
He ate with smacking sounds, looking like he was savoring a delicious meal.
Upon hearing Xinwen's voice, Ye Lanyin quickly went over and saw that Xinwen's chubby little body was turned away from Huaxin and Huamei.
Ye Lanyin burst into laughter through her tears, "Wanwan, you can't eat this."
When Lin Wanwan saw Ye Lanyin arrive, she quickly stuffed a handful of snow into her mouth.
This caused Huaxin and Huamei dolls to shout.
Laughter echoed from inside the courtyard, which annoyed the old lady who hadn't gone far.
The next day.
In the imperial court.
Almost all the civil and military officials were present.
The Emperor was delighted, “You ministers seem to be in good spirits.”
When the emperor arrived, all the officials quickly shut their mouths.
"Your Majesty, the evil spirits this year are more terrifying than in previous years. I heard that several courtyards have been damaged by the wind."
"I thought I was going to die, but I was surprised to find myself completely unharmed. I saw the sunlight in just two hours."
"This year is better than in previous years. It must be because the Emperor and the royal family prayed for blessings, and the gods heard them."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Holy Kingdom has never seen such a sight in the past hundred years. It must be Your Majesty who has moved the gods."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty is overjoyed." He then raised an eyebrow. "Yesterday, I led a group of princes and masters to pray for blessings at the foot of the Nine Provinces Pagoda, and we have witnessed the scene. It is truly a case of 'after the clouds disperse, the moon shines bright.'"
The Grand Tutor suddenly frowned: "Huh, what's going on with the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
"Yes, that's strange."
"The Prime Minister has never been absent before."
Someone shouted, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
"I heard something big yesterday: someone was running in the streets of Bianjing wearing only underwear."
"It's truly an eyesore."
"My God, they dare to mess around on National Day."
"Hahaha."
The senior ministers below were whispering amongst themselves, their voices drowning out the sound of the wind outside.
Upon hearing this, the emperor sighed inwardly at the life outside the palace.
"Alright, the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Zhenbei have both sent people to ask for leave. They were both injured yesterday."
The old ministers below stroked their beards, smiled and nodded.
"Your Highness, you're in your thirties now. Why don't you choose a queen or at least a concubine?"
“Now that Chengyun is older, it’s not a good thing that he doesn’t have his mother by his side.”
"Now that all the ministers are here, if you think there's anything good, I'll make the decision for you!"
The Regent smirked. This event would last for thirty-two days in January.
Brother, aren't you tired?
The ministers had become numb; in earlier years, they would all think of their daughters.
Now that Prince Xiao has grown up, seeing his playful appearance, no one dares to push their daughter into a pit of fire.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision." The Regent glanced at the disapproving looks around him, and said lazily.
The Emperor's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yes." He nodded again.
"Since that's the case, Minister..."
"Your Majesty, my daughter is already betrothed." The Minister hurriedly knelt down and wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Your Majesty, my daughter may have been betrothed, and the matchmaker is on her way."
"Your Majesty, my daughter will be engaged in a few days."
"Your Majesty, my daughter has a cursed fate, bringing misfortune to the royal family..."
"Your Majesty, my daughter is not yet of marriageable age..."
······
These ministers are never this proactive when it comes to matters of state.
