53. Let the second older brother be the study companion.
Wei Xiuming paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, then couldn't help but chuckle: "It's that simple?"
"Yes!" The little dumpling nodded vigorously, her little hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. "Second brother will teach Yue'er martial arts, and he will also pick fruit from the trees for Yue'er..."
The young prince hurriedly interjected, "Father, Little Moon's second brother is really amazing! He, he..."
His little face turned bright red, but then he suddenly changed the subject: "Little Moon is so good to me! She even gave me a rag doll today!"
As she spoke, she took out the rag doll from her bosom and presented it to Wei Xiuming like a treasure: "Look, this is Little Moon's favorite doll, and she was willing to give it to me!"
"...Oh, so you're showing off your gift, huh?" Wei Xiuming wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back.
Great, he didn't get a gift again.
[Task Completed]
You have overcome countless hardships and obstacles, proceeded step by step with great care, and taken enormous risks, and finally succeeded.
You successfully placed the witchcraft doll in Wei Jiayou's palace and led the emperor to discover it.
Although this plan failed to depose Wei Jiayou, it successfully created a rift between the emperor and Wei Jiayou.
This is a major victory for you. It seems he won't be able to bother you for quite some time now.

Huh?
The little dumpling standing behind was a bit surprised, but quickly became happy again.
Mission accomplished!
Looking at his son's unusually lively demeanor, Wei Xiuming finally smiled: "Jiayou, I remember you used to hate these girly things the most."
"No, that's not it!" The little prince stamped his feet in frustration. "This was given to me by Little Moon, it's different!"
He carefully smoothed out the doll's skirt: "Little Moon said that I would be lonely alone in Chonghua Palace, so..."
The little dumpling nodded vigorously, "The little prince really likes this doll!"
“If I remember correctly,” Wei Xiuming deliberately put on a stern face, “someone said he wouldn’t play with dolls since he was three years old.”
The little prince's face immediately turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and he stammered, "That, that's because..."
He suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Because Little Moon said that men can like dolls too!"
The two chatted for quite a while on their way to the Imperial Study.
Wei Xiuming finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What a 'man'!"
He beckoned to the little prince to hand him the doll so he could take a look. He took it and examined it carefully. "Hmm, the stitches are very fine. It is indeed a good doll."
"Right, right!" The little prince immediately perked up. "So, considering how wonderful Little Moon is... how about letting her second brother be my study companion?"
Wei Xiuming shook his head helplessly: "You guys... well, since you insist on it so much..."
He deliberately dragged out his words, watching the two little ones hold their breath nervously: "I grant permission."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Father Emperor!"
The two little ones spoke at the same time, holding hands and about to kneel down and kowtow.
"Wait a minute." Wei Xiuming suddenly became serious. "I have a condition."
The two little ones immediately froze on the spot, exchanging a tense glance.
“From now on,” Wei Xiuming’s gaze lingered on the young prince, “Jiayou must treat his study companion well and not be as willful as before.”
The young prince immediately straightened his back: "Your subject swears!"
“And…” Wei Xiuming looked at the little dumpling again.
