After Hezhuo married into the family, she discovered that Yinzhi was a loyal and affectionate person, so she wanted him to have a greater sense of belonging and responsibility to the family.
What to do? He often had to go to see Yinzhi. Yinzhi found it very enjoyable, feeling that his wife relied on him and trusted him. He also felt more responsible towards his wife and children, since he had been contributing more and more to the relationship. It had gradually become a habit.
Before He Zhuo could even mention the matter of servants in the main courtyard, Yin Zhi brought it up, saying he wanted to personally select some servants to supplement the existing ones. After all, since the wedding, apart from Consort Hui giving a maid to replace Su Lan, no one had been added to the household.
In an ordinary household, out of respect for the legal wife, the husband would not interfere in such matters as adding servants to his wife's room, and the wife would feel offended and question her ability to manage the household.
He Zhuo's legal wife, however, felt no aversion to him; on the contrary, she found her husband considerate.
He was happy to be idle. Yinzhi loved his children very much and would not let them be in danger. After the incident of Sulan climbing into his bed and Hongyu getting injured, he had already paid attention to these servants. Even without Hezhuo saying anything, Yinzhi would check the ancestors of servants for eighteen generations when selecting servants.
He couldn't let these lackeys harm his wife and children. This was Yinzhi's thought.
We often see this phenomenon: men who are "mama's boys" usually have very capable mothers. The reason is simple: they not only do their own things, but they also take care of their sons perfectly, treating them like children who haven't been weaned.
How can he not be a mama's boy?
They've all been spoiled.
Once Yinzhi feels more responsible and attached to his family, he will inevitably become more mature and consider his wife and children more in his dealings with others. What Hezhuo wants is simply more consideration and hesitation from him.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, which means the New Year is just around the corner.
Now that the year is almost over, the Ministry of War has stopped training troops. Yinzhi only needs to go to the Ministry of War to check the troops every day, so he has a relatively free time. He is happy to stay at home every day and play with his children.
That day, the couple lay in bed...
Yinzhi said, "I noticed that you don't seem to like the wet nurse very much, so I let the wet nurse of Little Treasure go out to live a life of leisure."
He Zhuo: "Well, as the saying goes, 'whoever feeds you is your mother.' Although I don't like wet nurses, I haven't mistreated them. I gave them a generous amount of money and released them from the palace."
Yinzhi: "What are you saying? You are the children's mother, and they are just servants. How could you be the children's mother!"
In the palace, it was customary for children to be raised by nannies and wet nurses. That's how the prince was raised too.
He Zhuo stood up and stared intently at Yin Zhi: "It is the rule that princes and princesses in the palace are raised by wet nurses and nannies."
The emphasis on "princes and princesses" implies that although our children are raised in the palace, they are not princes or princesses.
This was the first time Hezhuo had expressed his unwillingness to seize the throne. Yinzhi was not stupid; he was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on. He felt that his hidden thoughts had been exposed, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased.
He turned over, pulled the blanket up, and turned his back to He Zhuo.
What are princes and princesses?
Only the emperor's children are princes and princesses.
He Zhuo's meaning couldn't be clearer: they were just imperial grandsons, and the palace's upbringing was designed for princes and princesses. She didn't want to follow the same upbringing as princes and princesses.
He Zhuo noticed Yin Zhi's displeasure but didn't want to forcefully demand that he stop vying for the throne, since Yin Zhi had only just begun to have this idea and hadn't taken any concrete action yet.
So I didn't move him, I just lay him down and spoke slowly:
"I do not want my children to be close to their wet nurses, to be spoiled in their arms, while being respectful and deferential to their own mothers. Therefore, I personally take care of my children whenever possible." He Zhuo mentioned this matter briefly and then moved on, saying that she did not want her children to be close to their wet nurses.
