The meeting with Xie Shaoling was completely different from what the emperor had imagined.
He never managed to make things difficult for Xie Shaoling, and Xie Shaoling also became different from before, becoming cautious in his words and actions, and sparing with his words.
The emperor had no interest in putting on a monologue in front of Xie Shaoling, and after saying only a few words, he dismissed Xie Shaoling.
Let's not torture each other.
Because of his depressed mood, he ate half a bowl less rice when he went to Weiyang Palace for dinner that night.
Of course, it's also possible that seeing Ye Jingyu eating like a kitten, taking small bites and getting full after only a few bites, made him lose his appetite.
Although Ye Jing and his wolf cub were unruly, the way they ate pleased the emperor.
Boys need to eat a lot to grow strong and healthy.
Otherwise, he was so thin in Changchun Palace that he was just skin and bones, but after recuperating in the East Palace for a while, he ate more and his face got fuller!
Ultimately, although his eldest son was still a child himself, he was quite talented in raising children.
"Wushuang, Jinghe and Jingyu are both taking classes in Wenhua Hall now. Why don't you send Jingyu there to take classes with them too?" the emperor said to Ji Wushuang during a casual chat after dinner.
Ye Jingyu resembles his mother, and is naturally beautiful with rosy lips and white teeth, looking like a girl. He is no less than Xie Shaoling's son. If he is raised with such pampering by Ji Wushuang, he will become incredibly spoiled. The emperor thinks that Ye Jingchen should be the one to take care of him.
Ji Wushuang immediately became alert.
"Jingyu has just gotten used to the Imperial Academy, and going to the Wenhua Hall would mean getting used to it all over again. It's too much trouble, so let's not go." She politely declined.
Those two wicked siblings and that little madman are all in the Wenhua Palace. The Virtuous Consort is willing to send her precious son to suffer, but she can't bear to see her own child suffer.
"Why don't you ask Jingyu if he's willing?" The emperor didn't miss the instant his eyes lit up when he heard that he would be sent to Wenhua Hall for classes, and deliberately said this.
"Mother, may I go?" Ye Jingyu looked at Ji Wushuang with anticipation.
Ji Wushuang held her precious son in her arms and couldn't help but glare at the emperor.
He actually encouraged Jingyu to go to Wenhua Hall right in front of her; he definitely had ulterior motives.
"No one comes to the temple without a reason." This scoundrel said nice things on the surface, that he was there to have dinner with her and Jingyu, but now he's really showing his true colors!
"No! You can't go!" Ji Wushuang refused Ye Jingyu without hesitation.
"What's wrong with studying at the Wenhua Hall? Brothers and sisters will all be together, which is a good way to strengthen their bonds," the emperor said, somewhat displeased.
He only thought that his rebellious son really wanted his brothers and sisters to study at Wenhua Hall, and he did have some talent in raising children, so he thought he would help him so that Ji Wushuang would take the initiative to send Jingyu to study at Wenhua Hall. He never expected that he would die before he could achieve his goal, and Ji Wushuang would not even give him face!
"It would be great to be able to study in the Wenhua Hall, but Jingyu will not join in the fun," Ji Wushuang said calmly.
Ye Jingyu's face drooped, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
"If you don't want to go, then forget it." This was originally just a sudden idea of the emperor's. Since Ji Wushuang was very resistant, he didn't say anything more and changed the subject instead, "Consort De's virtue has been lacking, and she is no longer suitable to manage the palace affairs. I intend to let you take over. Are you willing?"
"Even if His Majesty were to offer me control of the palace's food supplies in exchange, I would not agree." Ji Wushuang remained unmoved.
emperor:……
If Ji Wushuang weren't a daughter of the Ji family, with her personality, she wouldn't have survived more than three days in the harem!
"These are two separate matters, there's no need to exchange them," the emperor said coldly.
“But I have no experience in managing the central administration,” Ji Wushuang added.
"You, the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, can't even manage the household affairs?" The emperor was shocked.
He originally thought Ji Wushuang was just simple-minded, but he didn't expect that she really didn't know anything!
“My mother said that the Ji family will protect me for life, so I don’t need to learn these things,” Ji Wushuang said frankly.
She spoke with remarkable candor, while the emperor listened with utter helplessness.
As a family with a thousand-year history, Ji certainly has the confidence to say such a thing. Even if Ji Wushuang does not enter the palace as a concubine, the Ji family is fully capable of protecting Ji Wushuang for the rest of her life.
In fact, even if Ji Wushuang enters the palace now, isn't she still under the protection of the Ji family?
After all, Ji Wushuang was just lucky.
Not only was she reborn into the Ji family, but she was also the only girl in three generations of the direct line!
"In the entire harem, apart from Consort De, you are the most qualified to manage palace supplies. I will issue an edict tomorrow, so prepare accordingly," the Emperor said to Ji Wushuang.
Having repeatedly thwarted him before, Ji Wushuang was no longer willing to listen to her excuses this time, and returned to Chengqian Palace after speaking.
“Although I don’t know why your father suddenly put me in charge of the palace’s food and drink, I have a feeling that he’s plotting against me!” Ji Wushuang suddenly said after a long while, after the emperor left.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes.
The mother trusted her intuition too much. She always said that the Crown Prince was a little rascal, which was her intuition, but as it turned out, her intuition was wrong.
"I have no idea how to read account books. I've had a headache just looking at them since I was a child. How can I possibly manage the palace's finances?!" Ji Wushuang felt like she was about to collapse.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Many times, he felt that his mother was more like a child than he was.
That night, Ji Wushuang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Some people don't sleep well, while others sleep well.
Ye Jingchen slept soundly through the night and slept an extra half hour the next day. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and his morning grumpiness only lasted for a short while.
Today, they gathered in the garden as usual. He and Ye Jinghe arrived earlier than usual, but everyone except Xie Chang'an had already arrived.
Ye Jingshu changed out of her jeweled and jade-encrusted outfit, and even her usual wide-sleeved long dress, opting instead for straight-sleeved culottes.
"Once we start running, I'll leave you far behind. Just you wait and see!" Ye Jingshu declared war on Ye Jinghe with great momentum as soon as she saw him.
“I’m no worse than you!” Ye Jingyu followed up.
"A defeated opponent." Ye Jinghe only replied with four words.
The atmosphere among the three was tense and tense.
Xie Chang'an arrived right on time, but compared to the previous two days, he didn't look as tired or weak.
Ye Jingchen felt it was a bit of a pity.
He wanted to take advantage of his prior training to crush these kids.
But Xie Chang'an still has some strength left, so his crushing plan is probably going to fall through.
"Your Highness, I hope you won't disappoint me later!" Xie Chang'an said to Ye Jingchen with a meaningful look.
In order not to embarrass himself by running out of energy during the morning run, Xie Chang'an even begged his father to move some of his training to the evening.
He will definitely teach Ye Jingchen a lesson he will never forget!
