After the emperor left, Gu Jiangli asked the prince, "Does Your Highness not intend to interfere in the emperor's affairs regarding his offspring?"
The prince gently shook his head and looked at Gu Jiangli's belly. "Heng'er said he has three children, so it must be true. What's the use of interfering?"
"Back then, didn't the late emperor go to great lengths to ensure I had no children? Now, Your Highness, aren't you carrying my child in your belly?"
Gu Jiangli laughed and said, "Isn't Your Highness worried that the Emperor's son might come and harm Heng'er?"
"I have already given Heng'er the empire he wanted. How he chooses to protect it is up to him."
He paused slightly at this point, then continued:
"However, I think that with Heng'er's abilities, he will definitely become a popular emperor in the future, a beloved emperor who will rarely arouse any thoughts of rebellion."
Gu Jiangli also agreed with this point.
This son is exceptionally capable; he is no ordinary person.
If he has the ability to ensure that the people live in peace and prosperity, then Heng'er, as emperor, should be able to sit on the throne securely.
It is said that after the emperor returned to the palace from the Prince's residence, he immediately arranged for people to implement Heng'er's method.
Everyone was astonished that the emperor had come up with such a brilliant method, but the emperor stated frankly:
"It was not my idea; it was the young prince's idea."
"What?!" The ministers were dumbfounded.
"The young prince... he seems to be only five years old, right? Your Majesty, are you implying that this was the Regent's idea?" a minister asked timidly.
He couldn't believe that a five-year-old could come up with such a method.
He was still playing with spinning tops when he was five years old!
The ministers whispered among themselves, all feeling that the emperor had made a mistake.
But the emperor once again confirmed that he was right, "I did not misspoke, it is indeed the young prince. I went to the Regent's Palace last night, originally intending to ask the prince for a solution, but Heng'er... the young prince immediately came up with this solution."
"I think this method is excellent, which is why I'm having you implement it immediately."
The emperor's words shocked the ministers even more.
Such talent from a child!
This is truly a gift from heaven!
"My dear ministers, why aren't you taking action? Is there something wrong with yourselves?" The emperor asked again when no one moved.
This time, no one objected.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will take care of it immediately!"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the expressions on the ministers' faces, they all seem to approve of Heng'er's method.
After the ministers left, the hall seemed somewhat empty, with only a few eunuchs and palace maids standing quietly on both sides, heads bowed and not uttering a word.
He was filled with emotion.
It turns out that the difference between geniuses and ordinary people can be seen from childhood.
The ministers acted swiftly; as soon as the funds arrived, the royal pharmacy began preparations in earnest.
The pharmacy was located in a pavilion not far from the palace, and with simple renovations, it became a large pharmacy.
The prices of medicinal herbs here are lower than those in any other pharmacy.
Before long, the situation where poor people could not afford medicine improved.
Gu Jiangli, who was in the Prince's mansion, also heard about this matter.
Besides praising the emperor, people also praise Heng'er.
Heng'er had already gained a good reputation even before ascending the throne.
At the height of Heng'er's fame, Gu Jiangli's child was born.
Twins, two boys.
The mistress and Heng'er each held one, their mouths stretched wide to their ears.
The prince took care of Gu Jiangli the whole time. He only glanced at his two sons, and his heart ached most for the princess after she gave birth.
Three-year-old Mu Qing stretched her head, wanting to see her younger brother as well.
So Heng'er sat down, making himself the same height as her, and showed her the little brother in his arms.
"Qing'er will have a younger brother from now on~"
Mu Qing, with her hair in two buns, had a rosy face full of anticipation. She carefully poked her younger brother's cheek with her finger, but he was fast asleep and didn't wake up because of the gesture.
Mu Qing was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! I have younger brothers now! And two of them!"
After saying that, she ran to the mistress's side, wanting to see the child in the mistress's arms.
The mistress smiled and bent down, "Qing'er, look, he's sleeping so soundly!"
Mu Qing blinked her big, watery eyes. "Grandma, my two younger brothers look exactly alike! I have two younger brothers who look exactly the same!"
The mistress beamed, "Yes, I wonder if Qing'er can tell which one is the third brother and which one is the fourth brother!"
Mu Qing shook her head with difficulty, "I can't tell. So from now on, whoever calls me 'sister' first will be the third brother, and the rest will be the fourth brother."
Everyone burst into laughter at Mu Qing's innocence.
To make Zhao Jingyu happy, Heng'er pulled him into the room to see the two identical children together.
The children's laughter made the entire palace lively and bustling.
To distinguish between the two babies during infancy, Gu Jiangli wrapped them in fabrics of different colors.
As the two children grew up, they looked even more alike, so they dressed them in different clothes.
The two children were named Zhao Chengyi and Zhao Chengyun, and the twins' unique skills were also displayed in them.
Telepathy and sharing emotions are very simple skills.
Thus, Gu Jiangli and the prince now have four children.
As Heng'er grew older, her temperament became increasingly refined and otherworldly.
Sometimes Gu Jiangli would even hallucinate, seeing shimmering golden light on him, as if that was the so-called imperial aura.
