Flowers bloomed and butterflies danced in the garden. Su Yushan sat on a swing, swaying in the wind, feeling relaxed and carefree. Hongli gently pushed her from behind. Yan Yan, who was chasing butterflies, found this amusing and happily ran to her father, joining him in pushing her mother.
"It's like Mom is flying!" Yan Yan clapped her hands happily, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.
Yan Yan, who was also interested, wanted to ride on the swing, but Su Yushan was worried that he was too small and wouldn't be able to hold the ropes properly, so she didn't dare let him sit on it.
Yan Yan pouted unhappily and complained to her father, "The Empress is bad, the Empress is bad!"
Hongli picked up his son and corrected him, "Your mother isn't bad. She's just afraid you'll fall. She'll let you sit down when you're older."
Yan Yan shook her head, her little chin trembling with grievance, her eyes instantly filling with tears as she looked pitifully at the swing, "I want to fly, I want to fly!"
Unable to bear seeing his son cry, Hongli's heart softened, and he immediately agreed.
Su Yushan grabbed Hongli, "Hey---he's still young, we can't let him do whatever he wants. You have to stop him and make him understand that this is dangerous behavior. Don't give in to him just because he cries."
Hongli reassured her not to worry, saying, "Don't let him sit alone, I'll hold him."
Then Hongli carried Yan Yan and sat on the swing, holding the rope with one hand and holding his son tightly with the other, swinging on the swing, while Li Yu helped push him from behind.
Yan Yan, delighted, giggled, her smile blooming like a flower, radiant and full of vitality. Yun Fang stood beside Su Yu Shan, smiling and praising her.
"Look how much our Fourth Master dotes on our little prince!"
They all felt that Hongli doted on Yan Yan, but Su Yushan felt that spoiling a child too much was not a good thing. However, seeing that Hongli was in a good mood at the moment, she didn't want to spoil the father and son. She would have to take the time to talk to him about it in detail.
Hongli sat with his son on the swing for a while until Demin came over, at which point he stopped.
Judging from Demin's expression, it seemed that he had something to report. Hongli did not ask any questions and returned to Huatang Pavilion with Yushan and the others.
The nanny took the young prince back to his room for some snacks. Hongli and Yushan returned to their room, and they did not allow anyone else to serve them, only letting Demin come in.
After entering the room, Demin truthfully reported that he had found out that the selection of the concubine was indeed related to Consort Xi.
