Fortunately, Yan Bao had prepared two things in advance: one big and one small, one for the emperor and the other for the thirteenth prince.
The Thirteenth Prince looked at the small hot water bottle that Ziyun handed over. It was one circle shorter than the one the emperor had, and was suitable for children like them. The outer cover was also a color suitable for children.
The Thirteenth Prince liked it very much and held it tightly, saying, "Thank you, Yanbao!"
Yan Bao smiled generously: [What's the big deal? This is just a side benefit. The main thing is to please the emperor, and gold will come from all directions.]
Yan Bao gave the emperor a hot water bottle, which the emperor carried with him every day. When he listened to the ministers speak in the court, he placed the hot water bottle on his legs, and sometimes he even held it in his arms, looking so comfortable.
My big hands with thick skin are no longer cold.
Sometimes my hands are too dry and the outer cover of the hot water bottle is worn out.
The emperor felt very distressed and asked Concubine Jing for hand ointment, which he applied every day and took great care of her hands.
After Shen Shoufu knew about it, he boasted in front of the emperor: "Yan Bao prepared several coats for me, in various colors and styles, saying that I can change one when I get tired of it. Doesn't the emperor have any? How about asking the little princesses to sew a few replacements?"
The emperor was so angry that his nose almost broke. Looking at the secretly smug Shen Shoufu, he said, "I didn't want to trouble the little princess, but Shen Aiqing's hot water bottle looks a circle less than mine. Otherwise, I would have used Shen Aiqing's. What a pity, they are not worthy!"
Shen Shoufu: “…”
It’s no big deal if it’s a circle bigger, it’s just a hot water bottle, not that place.
Humph, Shen Shoufu is not envious!
Yan Bao didn't expect that a hot water bag would cause so much trouble. The little princesses knew that she had given a hot water bag to the emperor and that their water bags were disliked by the emperor.
Everyone thought that Yan Bao was scheming and was deliberately stepping on them to please their father. They all looked unhappy when they saw Yan Bao and glared at her angrily.
Yan Bao has a lot of troubles that he cannot express in words.
Yan Bao was wronged, but he couldn't say anything.
Who made the emperor play the victim? He asked her to touch his cold hand. How could she refuse?
Dad, please don’t cheat your daughter next time, ah!
