Emperor Jing spoke with great magnanimity, as if anyone who had become a father could handle this matter.
He used to think highly of the second son, and even if Jing Le hadn't been born, he planned to make him the crown prince.
“Father, I’m not cut out for this. How about we let Lele come instead?”
The second prince still didn't want to take on this tiring job, just as Emperor Jing had repeatedly wanted to give the position of crown prince to Jing Le.
None of the princes had any objections.
If Jing Le had become the Emperor of Dayong, it would have been a blessing for Dayong.
"I forgot to mention, I happened to be going out with Lele, so I'm leaving the affairs of the court to you. If you really can't handle it, you can call on a few of your other brothers."
After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving the Second Prince with a helpless, bitter smile.
The position that everyone wanted back then is now being looked down upon.

Upon returning to the palace, the second prince looked at his wife, who was already six months pregnant, and immediately felt aggrieved.
He immediately went over and carefully put his arm around her.

The matter of taking a concubine was thus dropped.
"What's wrong with Your Highness? Why did you suffer such an injustice after coming to the palace?"
The Second Prince's wife knew that her husband was just venting.
Over the past two years, she has come to realize that the people in the palace are not what she previously thought they were.
Despite the constant intrigue and backstabbing, the atmosphere is surprisingly harmonious.
They also value family ties.
"Father and Sister Lele are going on an incognito trip, and they actually entrusted me with the affairs of the court. You have no idea how hard it is to do this."
"No, I have to call the other brothers over. We must share the burden..."
See? She knew it. The Jing brothers truly had no desire to fight for power.
But this is for the best.
