Emperor Zhenming felt the fatherly feelings from the prince, and couldn't help but think of the time when he taught the prince to read and write when he was a child. For a moment, the fatherly love that had been buried for a long time seemed to be summoned and emerged involuntarily.
He carefully flipped through each painting here and began to comment on them.
The more I read, the more I missed Empress Yuan.
He suddenly realized that the first wife he had almost forgotten had always been very important. If it weren't for the fact that the prince was held hostage, which made him uneasy, he and the prince would have been the most harmonious father and son in the world.
Emperor Zhenming's favor came suddenly.
His eyes and brows are full of fatherly kindness.
The father and son were in a harmony they had never known before. Emperor Zhenming talked about many past events. When he spoke of the good things about Empress Yuan, the prince was very patient and listened with joy in his eyes.
The chief steward at the back was shocked when he saw this scene.
I thought the Crown Prince was going to be deposed, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed? Not only was he not deposed, but the Emperor even began to value the Crown Prince?!
"The Eastern Palace has been abandoned for a long time. The Ministry of Works has sent people to renovate it these days. It was fine for you to recuperate here before, but now I see that your complexion has improved a lot. Choose a good day and move in so that you will be closer to me." The more the emperor talked with the prince, the calmer his mentality became, and he felt very comfortable.
The prince's words were always just right, and he always put his father first. Even when talking about the past, he did not hold any resentment. He was more magnanimous than he thought.
"Thank you, Father!" The prince thanked him hurriedly, "But... this Prince's Mansion was also given to me by my father. I like it very much. Can I keep it? In the future..."
The prince stopped talking mid-sentence and immediately changed the subject, "There are a lot of fine wines buried in this palace, and I am reluctant to dig them out."
However, the emperor pretended not to hear the rest of the words.
I keenly grasped the meaning of the first half of his sentence.
This child is already prepared to depose the crown prince!
Once the crown prince is deposed, he naturally cannot live in the Eastern Palace. Even if he moves in now, he might have to move out again before long.
"If you like it, keep it. It's just a small mansion. How can I take it back easily after giving it to you?" The emperor looked at him with a smile.
Behind him, the chief eunuch and the guards were shocked.
Who doesn't know that the position of the crown prince has been shaky in recent years?
If the old ministers in the court had not supported the crown prince and the crown prince was not so popular among the people, he would have been deposed long ago. And now... His Majesty actually said that he would not easily take back the things given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Doesn't this imply... that the crown prince will not be deposed?
However, the prince seemed not to understand and simply thanked his father.
The emperor was in a good mood and stayed a little longer.
The father and son got along well, and after a long time they left the Prince's Mansion and went to Prince Lu's Mansion.
Ying Huaiji honestly saw his father off. Even after he left, he still had that surprised and bewildered look on his face. He was even in a good mood. He asked someone to order a few more dishes to celebrate and carefully hung one of the paintings in his bedroom. He looked so excited, like a child who had been praised.
About half an hour later, the prince's expression slowly returned to normal after he felt that the last ray of gaze lurking nearby had disappeared.
He rubbed his chin and sneered softly.
