As for her, it wouldn't be difficult for a Consort Shu to promote a Consort Bao Lin.
Even if they don't get promoted, at least their lives will be better than they are now, right?
I can't just drift along like this, waiting to die, can I? A higher rank means a better life, and maybe I'll even have more opportunities to see His Majesty.
Who would want to wait in Baolin's position until they die of old age?
As for what will happen to Lu Xiaoyi after her failure, who cares if she dies.
As for the Eighth Prince, Sun Baolin didn't care either. He wasn't her son.
Lu Xiaoyi was naturally stupid.
Otherwise, how could someone who was perfectly fine lose the right to raise their own child?
Even now, only Consort Ning from back then, because she was a member of the Ning family and the Empress had miscarried, was allowed to raise her eldest prince.
But she has already taken it back.
But Kim's case is for a different reason.
Lu Xiaoyi, however, was directly deprived of the right to raise children.
Therefore, she was easily fooled by Sun Baolin.
The wild geese fly south, unaware of what those below are plotting.
Right now, she's with her daughter.
The sixth princess is also here; she is quite an extraordinary woman.
Not only is she not afraid of geese flying south, she also particularly likes to act coquettishly like the Seventh Princess.
Grabbing Yan Nangui's sleeve, she kept saying, "You look so beautiful, Mother Chen, you're so fair-skinned!"
My mother-in-law wants some snacks...
Well, good-looking cubs are always blessed with good looks.
Even if it wasn't your own child.
The two sisters were eating and making a ruckus at the same time. The seventh princess had said she would learn the piano, but now she has long since abandoned that idea.
He actually wants to learn martial arts.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and sixth brother all want to learn! Me too, and sixth sister too!" The seventh princess said, hands on her hips.
"Dream on," Yan Nangui retorted.
"Why not?" the Seventh Princess asked angrily.
"Then tell me, why did you quit learning the piano after only two days? Will you also only learn martial arts for two days?" Martial arts? Can this pampered brat endure that kind of hardship?
Unless forced, could she bear to do that? She has such a precious child; if she were allowed to suffer, Yan Nangui wouldn't need to strive at all.
But the seventh princess was just faking her tears...
Yan Nangui sighed, "Alright, I'll take you there."
He then called over Shuanzi: "Go, take these two to the training ground and have them practice horse stance."
Shuanzi exclaimed, "This...this is something the princesses can't possibly endure!"
Before Yan Nangui could speak, the Seventh Princess exclaimed, "I can! We can all!"
Okay.
So, Shuanzi took the two little princesses to the palace's training ground.
The drill ground was located in the southeasternmost corner of the palace, which also crossed the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
At this time, it was the princes' time to practice martial arts. They were not expected to become masters, but at least they had to learn how to ride horses and shoot arrows.
They are all descendants of the Helian clan. Even if they no longer need to fight on horseback, they should still have this much skill, right?
When the two little princesses arrived, everyone stopped fighting.
After paying his respects, Shuanzi smiled and said, "The Sixth and Seventh Princesses have been clamoring to learn martial arts. So this is... brought along."
He winked at the instructors who taught the princes martial arts and archery: "Our empress said the princesses can't stand it, but they won't listen."
The craftsmen immediately understood, thinking that the empress still loved her child and that they had to put on an act to coax her.
"Sixth and seventh sisters are so naughty." The eldest prince smiled and patted his two little sisters' hair.
The masters didn't dare to act rashly. Even if they were gentle, they were afraid of hurting this princess who was like a flower bud.
You have to practice the horse stance to learn martial arts.
The two princesses failed at this very first step.
Sure enough, he returned crying in less than half an hour.
The return of the wild geese south did not discourage them.
She simply asked someone to help her wash up: "You're exhausted today, have something good to eat tonight. It's normal for girls to be weaker than boys. Don't compare your weaknesses to their strengths. You have to face that fact."
The sixth princess asked, "Do we have any strengths?"
"Of course. Being thoughtful and emotionally rich are natural advantages. You can't compete with boys in terms of strength, and that can't be forced, but other things can be cultivated gradually. So you must not lose to them in reading and writing. You are all born royal children. You have natural advantages. Being physically strong is certainly good. But what you need most is a clear mind."
Yan Nangui knew that what she was saying now was beyond their comprehension.
So he didn't say anything more, just smiled and said, "Anyway, you must study hard and pay attention in class."
The sixth princess nodded thoughtfully.
The seventh princess hugged her mother's waist and nodded.
When it was almost time, the Sixth Princess went back first.
After half an hour of tinkering at the Seven Princesses' training ground, they were quite exhausted and ate little for dinner, going to bed early.
The next day, His Majesty learned of this and laughed.
He was naturally even more reluctant to let the Seventh Princess learn martial arts.
He almost gave up halfway through learning martial arts when he was a child, because he was exhausted at first.
However, the seventh princess is quite gifted when it comes to learning to write. Although her handwriting is terrible, she is very smart overall.
They're still young.
Outside the palace, renovating the residences of the three princes wouldn't be difficult. There were the old residences of the princes from the previous emperor's time, which had already been repaired.
There are also quite a few empty residences belonging to high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
The residence for the eldest princess was newly built, so the process was a bit slower.
But it's alright, after all, a princess's residence can't compare to a prince's; it's always a little inferior.
Yan Nangui didn't concern himself with this matter much, since how to decorate it was the responsibility of the Imperial Household Department, and what to add was also the Emperor's decision.
She could help with some of the decorations and such, but it's not the right time yet.
Besides, Consort Ning would take care of the eldest prince, but she didn't intend to interfere much with the third prince.
There's no need to take good care of the second prince; we can just give him some money later.
It's quite practical.
However, regarding the wedding arrangements, the matrons still came to report.
Consort Xiangxian also has to worry; now she's the one coming to Zhaochun Palace.
The more he came, the more he saw the Seventh Princess. The more he saw the Seventh Princess, the more dissatisfied he became with the Eighth Prince.
The seventh princess is still young, but she is very clever and quick to understand things. She can also speak.
But the Eighth Prince was a blockhead.
Consort Xiangxian felt truly bitter.
I hate it so much.
She was clearly intelligent, yet she couldn't conceive for a long time. When she finally did, she couldn't keep the pregnancy. Despite having served His Majesty countless times in the past, she could no longer become pregnant.
But even the most dedicated imperial physicians couldn't help with this health issue.
She serves His Majesty less and less these days, and it's even less likely that she'll get pregnant.
Besides the Eighth Prince, it's impossible to raise another prince.
But this eighth prince...
Consort Xiangxian, upon returning to Wanchun Palace, became furious upon hearing the Eighth Prince's halting recitation.
Unable to retaliate, she waved him away.
"Your Majesty is too impatient. The Eighth Prince is still young," Lingjiao said cautiously, feeling that Her Majesty's expectations of the Eighth Prince were too high.
