"Father, what instructions do you have for me?" The Thirteenth Prince looked naive and gullible.
The emperor smiled and patted his head: "Thirteen, do you like Yan Bao very much?"
Here it comes, the scam that Yan Bao talked about is here.
My father really wants to trick me.
Humph, I already know my father's ways, I won't be fooled!
The Thirteenth Prince secretly clenched his fists, revealing an innocent and romantic look, like a silly and sweet girl: "Yan Bao is adorable!"
The emperor also thought Yan Bao was cute: "If father asked you to cancel your engagement, would you still like Yan Bao?"
The Thirteenth Prince looked frightened and cried: "Father, don't want it. I want to marry Yan Bao when I grow up. Why are you canceling the engagement?"
The emperor didn't really care about the failure of his mind-reading ability. He could tell at a glance that his naive son was easy to deceive: "Father knows that you are hiding something from me. I am unhappy, so I want to cancel your engagement and marry Yan Bao to someone else."
"Who?" The Thirteenth Prince looked like he was settling an account.
Seeing that he believed it, the emperor was so angry that his eyes turned red. He touched his head and asked, "What do you think of the Eighth Prince?"
Is that blind man worthy of it?
The Thirteenth Prince shook his head like a rattle: "No, not as good as me. Yan Bao said that she and I are the best in the world. She doesn't like the Eighth Prince."
The emperor's mouth twitched. How old are you? You decide whether you like someone or not. Do you know what love is?
We haven't fallen in love yet, so just saying you like someone doesn't mean you like them.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, the emperor said, "If you don't want to marry Yan Bao to the Eighth Prince, that's fine. Just tell me the truth. What happened in the lotus pond tonight?"
"Why was it the Eleventh Prince who fell into the lotus pond with the Concubine Xian, and not you?" Without giving the Thirteenth Prince a chance to think, the Emperor promised: "As long as you tell the truth, your father will not cancel your engagement with Yan Bao. No one can take away Yan Bao, the best and most precious person in the world."
The Thirteenth Prince's eyes lit up.
The emperor laughed secretly and said, it’s settled.
The Thirteenth Prince is so easy to fool. Look, hasn’t he been deceived?
The Thirteenth Prince showed a look of joy and said, "Father, I'm telling you not to tell anyone else!"
The emperor suppressed a smile and nodded: "Okay, father promises you."
The Thirteenth Prince lied, "It was the Concubine Xian who made a mistake. I didn't go to the lotus pond at all. It's just that my robes and the Eleventh Prince's are the same color. I don't know why the Concubine Xian made a mistake."
The emperor thought about it and agreed. They did wear the same color, but there were some differences in the subtle details.
About the same height too.
The emperor still didn't quite believe it and asked, "Really?"
The Thirteenth Prince nodded affirmatively: "I, your son, would not lie to your father. It is the little dog who lies."
The emperor's mouth twitched. Even if I am a dog, I am still an old dog.
The Thirteenth Prince was afraid that the Emperor would not keep his word, so he asked, "Father, is Yan Bao still my son's fiancée?"
The emperor was so embarrassed by his question that he said, "Yes, you didn't lie to me. My word is my bond. The Yanbao is still yours."
"Thank you, father, for your support!" The Thirteenth Prince was overjoyed. A bright smile spread across his little face, and his eyes were bright and dazzling.
The emperor could see that the Thirteenth Prince really liked Yan Bao.
Yan Bao is so cute, it’s a good deal for this kid!
The emperor dispelled his doubts and thought that the woman Cai Yuanyue was dazzled and mistook the eleventh prince for the thirteenth prince. Why did she have a grudge against the thirteenth prince and had to provoke him?
The emperor did not think that he was partial to the Thirteenth Prince. Even if he was partial, it was towards Yan Bao.
Could it be that Cai Yuanyue thought that I intended to appoint Thirteen as the Crown Prince?
To be honest, the emperor did not consider appointing the thirteenth prince as the crown prince. With a father-in-law who was the prime minister, the emperor had to be on guard to prevent his in-laws from coming to power.
Yan Bao is very good.
Shen Shoufu is also good.
It’s not possible for the Thirteenth Prince to be the Crown Prince.
After the Thirteenth Prince passed, Yan Bao and Madam Shen just went through the motions. After the emperor asked them if they had indeed been with the Thirteenth Prince all the way and confirmed that they had not lied, he waved his hand and let them leave the palace.
Shen Shoufu and Shen Erge were waiting at the second palace gate. Looking at the mother and daughter who came out safely, Shen Shoufu looked calm and not anxious at all. He knew that this matter would not involve them in any way.
With Yan Bao around, Shen Shoufu knew that Yan Bao would definitely pick himself out.
Second Brother Shen was not so smart. He was really concerned about Madam Shen and the others: "Mom, Yan Bao, are you okay? Did the emperor give you any trouble? Why did you get into this trouble?"
Mrs. Shen shook her head soothingly: “It’s okay, go home!”
Brother Shen wanted to hug Yan Bao, but his father got there first.
Shen Shoufu carried Yan Bao out of the palace gate. His good daughter didn't have much time left to hold him, so as long as there was no one else around, Shen Shoufu was willing to carry his daughter and walk.
Don’t ask him whether it’s hard or not, he’s not suffering anyway.
The carriage arrived at the bustling street. Yan Bao heard the noise and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look outside. The brightly lit Chenghuang Temple Street was very lively, and many people came to visit Chenghuang Temple.
It turns out that the Mid-Autumn Festival in the City God Temple is so lively. In the past, Yan Bao was always in the palace and rarely came out.
I left the palace early this year and met her.
Yan Bao's bright eyes tugged at Chief Minister Shen's sleeve, and his bright eyes seemed to speak: "Daddy, let's go to the lantern festival. There are so many people here, it's so lively, I want to go!"
How could Shen Shoufu refuse his good daughter's request?
After being looked at by her for three seconds, Shen Shoufu immediately compromised: "Stop the car." Then he said to Mrs. Shen in a flattering way: "It's very lively outside. I haven't been out for a long time. How about going to the City God Temple tonight?"
Yan Bao looked at Mrs. Shen expectantly.
