"..." Eunuch Liu cautiously stole glances at Qi Sichen's expression.
He helped explain to Lin Wanyue, "Besides our Emperor, there are six other princes of the late Emperor who are still alive today, and they are all older than our Emperor."
"It's also something to be proud of. Countless emperors in the world have gone through great difficulty in having sons, but our late emperor had so many sons, yet not a single daughter."
Lin Wanyue didn't care whether the late emperor, who had long since died, had any daughters. She counted on her fingers for a moment and asked in surprise, "The rule of this dynasty is that the youngest son inherits the family business?"
Lin Wanyue had heard of the principle of primogeniture, but she had never heard of the youngest son guarding the country's gates.
Even if such a place existed, it shouldn't be a place like the Great Yan Dynasty.
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Sichen held Lin Wanyue in his arms and weighed her in his hands for a moment. He seemed to be in a better mood, so he smiled at her and said, "Of course there is no such rule. However, he is the only son of the Empress Dowager, and therefore the only legitimate son. This world naturally belongs to him."
Lin Wanyue understood.
Although Qi Yuan was not the eldest son of the late emperor, he had a good mother, who was the empress.
That was enough for him to have a legitimate son.
As the only legitimate eldest son, it is not surprising that he was able to inherit the throne.
"Hiss—" The little pink butterfly, who had been following Lin Wanyue, suddenly whispered, "I think the Regent seems to have some connection with that Empress?"
oh?
Lin Wanyue's eyes flickered as she looked at Qi Sichen's excessively handsome face.
They haven't even met the late Empress Dowager yet, so how could Little Pink Butterfly say such a thing?
The little pink butterfly pulled out an embroidered handkerchief from somewhere, covered her lips, and revealed a shy smile.
"Oh dear, you're just a little girl, you wouldn't understand, but I've seen it all!" Little Pink Butterfly laughed with a gossipy look on her face. "His face was as black as the bottom of a pot just now, it was as ugly as could be, but when he mentioned the words 'Emperor's sister-in-law,' the corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes lit up with a smile. If he wasn't talking about the Empress's sister-in-law, I'm afraid he was talking about his own wife."
After hearing Little Pink Butterfly's gossip, Lin Wanyue's heart was also burning with excitement.
However, she dared not ask about such things, for fear that she might accidentally learn some royal secrets or scandals.
"Wanwan." Qi Yuan quietly took Lin Wanyue's hand and whispered to her, "I've prepared a lot of fun things for you in the palace. Shall I go get them for you now?"
Qi Sichen didn't object to anyone wanting to hang out with Qi Yuan, but for him, business was clearly more important.
"Wanwan, do you have any way to help him recover properly and keep those ghosts away from him?" Qi Sichen asked carefully, as if he were his own son.
Seeing how earnestly he asked the question, Lin Wanyue felt that this man seemed to treat his nephew like a son.
Could it be that he actually has feelings for that man's mother?
"Hmm..." Lin Wanyue silently swallowed the gossip in her mind and said seriously, "This matter is not difficult. How about I put up a few talismans in his sleeping area first? At least it will ensure that those ghosts don't dare to come in casually. Once he gets a good night's sleep, his health will naturally improve!"
"Is that really the case?" Qi Sichen frowned and said.
Lin Wanyue nodded: "Of course there is. In fact, no matter what kind of medicine or food supplements you use, none of them can compare to the impact on your body if you eat well, drink enough, and get a good rest. If you can really do that, then it's just a matter of time before you recover your health."
"What Wanwan said is so true!" Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened from the side, even clapping happily, feeling that Lin Wanyue's words made sense.
"..." Qi Sichen silently glanced to the side, but in his heart he was already eight or nine parts convinced.
If a person can eat and drink their fill and not think about anything, isn't that the life of a wealthy and leisurely person that others envy?
How many people who can live that kind of life are in poor health?
Qi Sichen quickly ordered the necessary items to be brought over, all of them top-quality purple gromwell and cinnabar.
Lin Wanyue drew six pictures for Qi Yuan, and she took the rest without any hesitation.
I plan to find an opportunity to draw several more for my home, and I also need to make sure I have the talismans for exorcising ghosts and demons.
Now that we have so many raw materials, we can store several stacks of them ourselves in the future.
If she encounters any more ferocious ghosts that dare to disobey her commands, she will simply scatter the talisman.
She wanted to see whether her spells were more powerful or the spirits of those ghosts were more powerful!
"Wanwan, isn't this a bit too few talismans?" Qi Sichen asked indirectly, seeing Lin Wanyue so openly taking the extra materials into her own possession, but only giving Qi Yuan six talismans.
“There are plenty of ducks. Look at the front door, the back door, and the other doors on the side; they’ve all been sealed off. Don’t worry, as long as those ghosts have any sense, they absolutely won’t dare to break in. If they’re really that brainless, they’re doomed! I’ve added a Heavenly Thunder Spell here,” Lin Wanyue said confidently.
Qi Sichen watched from the side with his eyes shining.
Heavenly Thunder Spell!
How powerful must that be?
I wish he could see how it works.
However, by then, the ghost will probably already be beside him.
Just thinking about it is scary enough.
Qi Sichen realized that she really couldn't understand the meaning behind his words. Considering that the child was only five or six years old, although she had some talent, she was still just a child.
He simply said, "These few talismans can only protect this small area. Wanwan, why don't you write a few more? Maybe you can get rid of all the ghosts in the entire palace?"
"Of course not!" Lin Wanyue refused without hesitation. "In this world, everything is interconnected and interdependent, and everything goes through cycles. There is a natural order to things. If you were to eliminate all the little devils in the palace, that would be bad. It would be the destiny of heaven and earth, and you might even raise a super ghost king. If even I can't deal with it, that would be a real problem."
"Uncle, as long as those ghosts don't dare to bother me, let them drift around outside. We can't see them anyway. What do you think, Uncle?" Qi Yuan said, helping Lin Wanyue persuade Qi Sichen.
Although Lin Wanyue's posture in drawing talismans was beautiful, Qi Yuan felt sorry for her, such a young child, having to work for him.
If the Imperial Uncle continues to shamelessly exploit child laborers and wants Wanwan to cast spells on the entire harem, how exhausting that would be!
He would rather suffer some fright himself than tire Wanwan out.
"You ungrateful little brat!" Qi Sichen snorted unhappily. This ungrateful little brat didn't appreciate it at all, even though he was clearly doing it for his own good.
This kid only remembers his Wanwan.
