Ye Jingchen specially brought Ye Jingshu and the others to pay their respects to the emperor for several reasons.
Free meals are just one aspect of it.
Secondly, it's about exposing them to the emperor more often and fostering a stronger relationship between them.
If an emperor has been calling himself "I, the Lonely and Powerful" for too long, his subjects will respect and fear him, and place him on a high platform. If his children also treat him this way, then he will truly become a cold-hearted and lonely figure.
If we don't take advantage of the fact that they are still young and pose no threat to the throne, and therefore the emperor won't be wary of them, we won't have such a good opportunity when they grow up!
He hoped that in the future, whenever the emperor saw him, the first thought that would come to mind regarding his identity would be that of a son, rather than a crown prince.
A son is a blood relative, while the crown prince will become a contender for the throne; there is a big difference between the two.
Thirdly, once he takes Ye Jingshu and the others to pay their respects to the emperor a few more times and get a free meal, he doesn't believe that the concubines in the harem with children will be able to sit still.
Women in the deep palace mostly depended on the emperor's favor to survive, and those who had sons inevitably harbored some delusions about that position.
If one's child can appear more often in front of the emperor, then there will be a greater chance of gaining the emperor's favor or obtaining a higher position.
Driven by even a sliver of hope, they would naturally flock to the Wenhua Hall and to him, the Crown Prince.
Fourthly, it was a thought that suddenly came to Ye Jingchen while he was listening to Qin Feng talk about the law.
Knowing the law and understanding the consequences of breaking it will prevent you from easily breaking the law again.
If everyone in Daeyu understood the law, the weak could use it to protect themselves, and those in power would be more restrained and less likely to act recklessly.
At least, there won't be any more lawless outlaws like Liu Zhixing who disregard the law!
Unfortunately, the emperor had other concerns and did not immediately grant his request.
So he took the opportunity to bring up the matter of taking a break again.
Unexpectedly, the emperor rejected him again.
This made him wonder if he had fallen out of favor.
Before, he could easily get the emperor to agree to whatever he wanted by simply coaxing him. But this time, he practically threw a tantrum, yet the emperor remained unmoved.
Does this mean he'll have to fake being sick every time he wants to rest from now on?
It's easy to feign illness, but if you feign illness too often, it will give the emperor and court officials the impression that the crown prince is weak and sickly.
As the crown prince, having the label of "frail and sickly" would be very disadvantageous for him!
If this class is absolutely necessary, then he can only focus on how to conduct the class.
The next day, during my morning run, the sky was already glowing with the colors of dawn, a sign that it would be a good day.
The flowers in the small garden are in full bloom, but unfortunately no one is there to appreciate them.
Wu Zemin and Gu Beichen were always the first to arrive at Wenhua Hall every day.
However, as soon as they arrived at the East Palace today, they were led to the garden by palace servants.
"His Highness said the weather is nice today, and the flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully. He hopes we can have classes in the garden and absorb some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Fangfei said to them with a smile.
Wu Zemin: ?
Gu Beichen: ?
Two equally puzzled faces looked at each other.
What does it mean to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?
Although they couldn't understand His Highness's meaning, His Highness was the master of the Eastern Palace, and they were just his study companions, so naturally they had to follow His Highness's wishes in everything.
A desk had already been prepared beneath the flowers.
Wu Zemin and Gu Beichen sat down, and soon after, Yun Shu was also led here by the palace servants of the East Palace.
He completely agreed with Ye Jingchen's words.
"The flowers here are so beautiful, and they smell so good, even the wind smells sweet. It must be so interesting to study here!" He looked around and adapted well.
As usual, Consort Xian brought Ye Jingyu to Wenhua Hall for his class today. After hearing Fangfei's account, she didn't say anything else, but simply reminded Fangfei that it was windy in the garden and the children were prone to catching a cold, so it would be best for each of them to wear a cloak.
After giving her instructions, she left with her palace servants.
Fangfei went to consult Ye Jingchen.
"As expected of the Virtuous Consort, she is so thoughtful!"
Ye Jingchen was instantly charmed by the sight of all the cubs wearing capes.
He personally led his men to the warehouse to select cloaks, and he was very much looking forward to seeing the little ones wearing them.
Black represents mystery and solemnity. The people of Dayuan revere black and regard black gold as the most prestigious color.
Ye Jingchen's cloaks are mostly black and gold, with only a few being pure white.
Ye Jingshu is a girl, so Ye Jingchen specially chose a white dress for her; the rest of her clothes were black and gold.
As soon as he came out of the warehouse, he saw Ye Jinghe waiting outside.
Ye Jingchen took the smallest cloak from the maid holding the cloak and personally bent down to put it on Ye Jinghe.
"Brother, why are you wearing this?" Ye Jinghe stood still, letting Ye Jingchen tie the straps for him, and asked in confusion.
"The weather is nice today, so we're having class in the garden," Ye Jingchen explained.
As they were talking, the cloak was already fastened. He put the hood on Ye Jinghe and stepped back a few paces to examine him.
The floor-length cloak completely enveloped Ye Jinghe, even covering her feet, leaving only her fair and delicate face exposed, making her look especially adorable.
"Let's go." Ye Jingchen suppressed a laugh and led Ye Jinghe toward the garden.
After meeting the others, Ye Jingchen distributed the cloaks to them and reminded them to put them on.
After all, children are physically weak, and if they catch a cold from the wind, it would be difficult for him to explain it to his parents.
