After chatting about everyday things, Suhar and Qin Mo left first, while Lanqin had some private conversation with her two daughters.
"How have things been going for you two couples lately?"
Ushiha blushed, and Biechukang continued, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have always gotten along quite well."
Seeing that the two were alright and their expressions were relaxed, Lanqin said, "That's good, it saves your mother from worrying about you."
"We sisters will never forget what our Empress Mother taught us."
Seeing this, Lanqin thought that the two sisters got along quite well, and said, "That's good." She sighed and added, "Your father is turning fifty-seven soon, so don't upset him."
Lanqin instructed, "Go see your Emperor Father later. He has become much more haggard since the Thirteenth Prince passed away last year."
Five years ago, the Thirteenth Prince fell seriously ill and thought he was going to die. However, he and Lady Zhao Jia went to a mountain to live in seclusion and enjoy their old age.
Unexpectedly, he met a Taoist priest living in the mountains. The priest happened to know how to treat this disease and helped Thirteen improve his health, which allowed him to live for another five years.
Thirteenth Prince returned to the capital and lived a vibrant life for five years. Fourth Prince was also happy, as the bond between brothers was deep, and he hoped that Thirteenth Prince would be well.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye, seasons changed, and fate truly played a cruel trick. The Thirteenth Prince passed away in the twelfth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign.
Lanqin knew in her heart that everyone must die eventually. If she faced it bravely and kept a positive attitude, she might be able to adjust her mindset and live a few more years.
I've heard that the Taoist priest said that as long as you have a good mindset, don't dwell on your serious illness, and live according to your heart and follow the laws of nature, you can live a long life.
Lanqin sighed, "Perhaps your father is thinking of the Thirteenth Prince."
Upon hearing this, Ushiha said, "Father's temper has become strange these days; he gets angry at the drop of a hat."
"Yes, Father Emperor seems to have become a bit eccentric." - Bie Chuke
Lanqin knew that Fourth Master's health was not as good as before, and that he was being more demanding of those around him.
“Your father is no longer young. It’s not that he’s in a bad mood, but rather that he’s frustrated with his own health.” Lanqin continued, “You should try to understand your father. He has worked tirelessly for the country, experiencing things that most people can’t even imagine. As emperor, he holds a high position and bears a loneliness and responsibility that most people cannot comprehend. You two should go and see him.”
Bechuk and Ushiha nodded in agreement. Although their father's temper was getting worse, he was, after all, the emperor of a country. Many things would cause him trouble in his lifetime, and as his children, they should naturally understand and forgive him.
"Not long after, your Emperor will be celebrating his birthday. Bring Sasar and the other children to meet the Emperor. He has always loved children, and perhaps these children can ease his worries."
“We understand what Mother Empress said, and we will bring the child over. Please don’t worry,” Ushiha said.
Lanqin nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the air outside, and realized it was getting late. She said, "It's getting late, let's go and pay our respects to your father."
Alright, the two sisters went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation together.
"Your Majesty, it seems the Emperor hasn't been visiting Changchun Palace much lately," Cui Niang said from behind Lan Qin.
“Perhaps His Majesty feels he needs to be alone,” Lanqin said.
