Concubine Shu then called out to Su Chenyu, "Si Yi is playful, but the emperor has ordered everyone in the palace not to play with him. Isn't this just because he wants his husband to come and play with him?"
"You don't restrict him from studying in his study. With a mother like you, Si Yi can retain some of his childish nature."
The royal family was cruel, especially the princes, who had to learn countless things every day in order not to disappoint their fathers. The concubines in the harem forced their children to study hard in order to please the emperor.
"I don't have any big wishes in my life. I just hope that Si Yi can live happily." Even though she is now in charge of the six palaces, Concubine Shu's heart has never changed. She has never expected that Su Si Yi will be able to sit on the supreme position in the end.
Sitting in that position, he was destined to shoulder the burden of Dayu for the rest of his life. Concubine Shu knew that Su Siyi was not the kind of person who could bear so much. In the future, being an idle prince and living a carefree life would be the most comfortable life.
"It would be great if Concubine Yun could think the same as you do." When mentioning Concubine Yun, Su Chenyu asked, "Will she come tomorrow?"
"She is about to give birth. It is extremely difficult to keep this baby alive. The closer it gets to the birth, the more nervous she becomes." This is what means that Concubine Yun will not show up that night.
As soon as Concubine Shu finished saying this, she heard Concubine Yun's voice: "Concubine Shu, this is Si Yi's birthday banquet, why didn't you invite me to come?"
Concubine Shu looked at the door in surprise, and sure enough, it was Concubine Yun who appeared with a big belly: "I didn't invite you because I thought you were not able to move around easily. The most important thing is that you give birth to a heir for the emperor."
Looking at Concubine Yun's bulging belly, Su Chenyu always felt a little scary, as if the baby would burst out of her belly in the next second. But, are all pregnant women's bellies this big?
Seeing Su Chenyu's eyes on her belly, Concubine Yun stroked her belly proudly and said, "The imperial physician said that this baby of mine will definitely be a prince."
Concubine Shu did not comment: "You are a lucky person. Come in and sit down quickly. How can you stand like this with such a big belly?"
Not long after Concubine Yun entered the palace, Su Ruian, Lian Shizhao, Su Jinwei and Rong Ruobian all arrived.
After all, they are Su Siyi's imperial sister and brother, so it is impossible not to invite them over.
The gifts were handed over to the palace servants who were responsible for receiving gifts when one entered the house, but when Rong Ruo came in, he did not hand the gifts to the palace servants, but took them in instead.
"Fifth Prince, this is my birthday gift for you. Please open it and have a look." Rong Ruo handed the gift box to Su Siyi, who looked at Concubine Shu helplessly.
Just as Concubine Shu was about to say something, Su Jinwei spoke up: "Madam Concubine Shu, Rong Ruo came from Northern Rong and is used to being casual and enthusiastic. She wants to hand the gift to Si Yi in person, so let Si Yi accept it."
Since Su Jinwei said so, how could Concubine Shu refuse? So she let Su Siyi accept the gift.
Then, Rong Ruo's voice sounded: "Fifth Prince, I have prepared a top-quality whip for you. I heard that the emperor criticized you several times last time when he saw that you were not good at horse riding. I am sending you this whip today, hoping that you can make further progress in horse riding and not let your father worry anymore."
Upon hearing this, Su Siyi's face turned red instantly. She was in a dilemma as to whether to take the gift or put it down.
Concubine Shu didn't expect Rong Ruo to expose Su Siyi's scars at this time. She was angry and took a step forward, wanting to take the gift away.
Su Chenyu moved even faster. She took the gift from Su Siyi's hand and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was indeed a top-quality horsewhip.
Su Chenyu took out the whip and looked at it carefully. "The whip prepared by the Crown Princess is indeed made of high-quality materials, but looking at the length and thickness of the whip, it is difficult for a child to control it and it is inevitable that he will hurt himself. It is better to let Concubine Shu keep it for him and let Si Yi use it when he grows up."
