"Brother Rui is our favorite, this person, I plan to leave it to Brother Rui." Seeing that Qing Huan seemed to refuse, the emperor pointed her red lips, "I look very old, or ... the end of life soon?"
"Your Majesty, don't say such things, I don't like to hear them."
Alas, this good baby. The emperor felt that he might be really mean by fate, and when the imperial concubine frowned, he was more afraid than anyone else. Immediately, his big hands started to grope her body, and made a nondescript joke: "I feel that I am in the prime of life, full of energy, and you know it best, Aifei."
shameless. Qing Huan's eyes said so.
The emperor coughed lightly, and turned the topic back: "Brother Rui is the child you gave birth to me, so the meaning is different, not to mention, you don't have the support of your parents, so it's better." Seeing Qing Huan showing doubts With eyes in his eyes, he held her small face in his hands and kissed her again. "I am thirty-five years old, and I can live for at least another twenty years. In these twenty years, I will train our brother Rui well. I think that the child you give birth to will be a wise king in the future. The third child Marrying the daughter of the Fu family, the Fu family will definitely stand behind him in the future. And you don't have a natal family, and you have Brother Rui by your side. If Brother Rui succeeds the throne in the future, there will be no situation where your relatives monopolize power. I was only seven years old when I was enthroned. Today, the empress dowager's family is powerful and controls the government. I didn't fully grasp the government until I was 23 years old, so I will never leave such a hidden danger for Brother Rui. Before my funeral , will clean up all the obstacles for us, Brother Rui. As for the third child...you don’t have to worry. He is obedient, and it’s okay. He had other thoughts..."
The emperor's eyes became extremely cold in an instant. "I won't allow anyone to be a threat to Rui Ge'er."
"Your Majesty..." Qing Huan looked at him, her eyes suddenly turned red.
The emperor was playing tyrannical and cool at first, but when the beauty cried, he immediately limp, hugged and coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry, you have the right to rest assured, Brother Rui must be filial, even if I If you are gone, he will take good care of you, and after a hundred years, Rui Geer can still bury you and me together, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
Qing Huan burst into a smile. "Your Majesty won't leave the mother to keep the child, or let me be buried?"
"Hmph, when the time comes, many people will be buried, not least of you." The emperor narrowed his eyes, "You are twenty years younger than me, how can I be willing to... let you wither at the age of a flower. There is no one but you You have a soft temper and are not easy to make enemies. When Rui Geer grows up and I let go, you will have something to rely on. Before you met me, you had a hard life, but with me, everyone Don't try to bully you."
Qing Huan was so moved that she hugged the emperor's neck and murmured, "Your Majesty treats me so well!"
"You are cold-tempered and not easy to get close to. I have no other requirements. Just smile at me from time to time, and I will be satisfied."
Qing Huan followed her words and smiled sweetly. The emperor was so fascinated that he lost his mind, and hugged him again.
Although the emperor had already decided in his heart that Li Rui would be the crown prince, he did not make an order immediately, so as not to push Qing Huan, the imperial concubine of Jiarong, to the forefront. Although he has great power, but people's hearts are unpredictable, especially gossip can kill people, he considers Qing Huan and Rui Ge'er mother and son wholeheartedly, so naturally every step is perfect.
On the day Ruige'er turned one year old, the emperor was nervous. The day Rui Geer was born was full of sunshine, which was a great auspicious omen, so if you catch Zhou Zhou today, for the sake of Rui Geer's future, you must not catch a bad one. Grab Yuxi, that's not good!
For this he also cheated.
Rui Ge'er is usually fed by a nanny, but the emperor secretly trains Rui Ge'er without telling Qing Huan. When Ruige’er was hungry, he didn’t give milk to him, and he didn’t go to the nanny. When Ruige’er was too hungry, he asked Jinchuan to give the jade seal to Ruige. At first, Ruige didn’t like it because it was heavy and he couldn’t He didn't even look at the food he ate, and later realized that unless he hugged this thing up, the nanny would come over. After a long time, I developed the habit of holding Yuxi first among countless good things.
When breastfeeding this morning, the emperor pretended that he was watching, and didn't let Qing Huan come to the side hall, and didn't dare to let her know that Rui Ge'er was not breastfed at all. Brother Rui was so hungry when he was catching Zhou, but after lying on the small bed for a long time in the morning, no one gave him Yuxi to hug him. He was just sad, and the little guy couldn't even speak clearly, so of course Qing Huan didn't know that he was wronged.
Now it was put on the table, surrounded by a circle of good things, such as books, inkstones, daggers, and silver. Brother Rui saw Yuxi at a glance, and after being put on the table by the nanny, he immediately twisted his little buttocks all the way wildly. Climb, hold Yuxi tightly in his arms, and then go to find the nanny—but the nanny has already gone down now. Although the emperor cheated, he was afraid of being cheated.
He looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "As expected of my son! Good! Promising!"
All civil and military officials congratulated for a while, but the third prince's face was a little gloomy. It's nothing more than the name is Xi, but he even caught Zhoudu—the meaning of the father couldn't be more obvious, he wants to surpass himself and pass the throne to this little prince who can't even walk!
He clenched his fists, without showing the slightest bit on his face, he acted like a friendly and loving brother.
The emperor held Rui Ge'er in his arms, and stroked his usually round, soft and flat belly, probably really hungry. If it wasn't for Zhou Zhou, he wouldn't be willing to starve this little baby so quickly, so he quickly let Jin Chuan hold him down and ask the nanny to nurse him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing Huan also heard about Brother Rui's capture of Yuxi, but she didn't think much about it, and she never thought that such a proud emperor would be so vain. He was too cautious, but he also seemed more sincere.
The days passed by like flowing water, and soon, Rui Ge'er was three years old. The originally chubby little dumpling gradually grew taller, walked steadily, was weaned, and spoke fluently, and at the same time showed a very high IQ. The little guy is gifted and intelligent, the emperor dotes on him, and he usually wears it in the imperial study room when he goes to court, but when he goes down to court one day, he hears the little dumpling muttering something, and after listening closely, he realizes that the three-year-old kid actually put the little boy in the palace just now. Wei's words were memorized!
Gossiping, the emperor immediately began to care about it. After a few more days of observation, the emperor was convinced that Rui Ge'er never forgot, but he could repeat everything he heard immediately, and there were no mistakes or omissions!
So he carefully selected and selected the most respected and knowledgeable veteran from among the ministers to be Rui Ge'er's tutor. The old lady Fu is sixty-two this year, but she is still energetic and bright-eyed. The emperor was also enlightened by him back then, and the emperor was very relieved when he handed Rui Ge'er into the hands of the old matriarch.
The old matriarch is not only the emperor's mentor, but also the emperor's confidant. Knowing that this little dumpling will be the East Palace in the future, even though Ruige'er is still young, he still does his best, wishing to pour all his knowledge into the little guy's head.
In the end, this teaching was incredible, the little prince's mind turned very fast, and he could often draw inferences without saying anything. No matter what he was talking about, he could immediately memorize it and the words were correct!
But he is only a little over three years old!
The old matriarch was excited, he held back his passion and enthusiasm, and taught the little prince more attentively.
The emperor naturally saw it, and was very proud. His emperor's son was naturally a good one, and no one else could compare to him!
But as the little prince's fourth birthday passed, he found that the imperial concubine's mood was getting lower and lower, and she was always a little out of control, and he didn't know why. At first the emperor thought it was his own illusion, but later he was convinced that it was true, the imperial concubine really had something on her mind!
One day after the cloud and rain, he hugged the limp imperial concubine and put his hands up and down. This yearning for her grew more and more, she was so beautiful and gorgeous, she was really the best in the harem, and the emperor couldn't put it down even more. "What's wrong, Concubine Ai, are you unhappy?"
Qing Huan sighed: "Your Majesty, Brother Rui has changed."
"That's natural. He's grown taller and more sensible." The emperor was very happy with his son's transformation. He has become a general at a young age, and his future achievements are limitless. He absolutely believes that he will pass on the throne to this little dumpling. , What kind of prosperity will usher in the future!
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Qing Huan thumped his chest, then glanced at him again, "Hasn't Your Majesty noticed that Rui Ge'er is not smiling now?"
"You don't laugh often." The emperor said as a matter of course, in exchange for being bitten on the neck, he gasped and begged for mercy, "Ai, Aifei, don't bite...don't bite."
Qing Huan let go of her mouth resentfully: "Brother Rui was so cute when he was a child, he looked like a glutinous rice dumpling, he is only four years old, and on weekdays children don't like to play, they only know how to read books, practice calligraphy, and do everything well." Well behaved, he is still young!"
"Don't think that I don't know, didn't that little guy complain to you because of too much homework?" The emperor squinted his eyes, looking at the concubine in his arms, but refused to look at him. "You are still holding him and crying together, what, you want to lie to me?"
"...Anyway, Brother Rui is only four years old. Your Majesty asked the Taifu to assign too much homework. He has to go to court with you every day and go to the imperial study. He doesn't even have time to play, just like a little old man. , Your Majesty, if you continue to be so harsh on Rui Geer, don't blame the concubine for ignoring you!"
She resorted to the trump card of ignoring him, which worked more than anything else. Hearing this, the emperor sighed: "Okay then, a little less is a little less."
"Give him at least two hours a day to play and do what he wants to do!"
"My concubine, you are pushing your feet...well, listen to you, hey, don't be angry, turn your face around. Concubine love, concubine love~~" The emperor rushed to please, rubbing his face against Qing Huan, that appearance doesn't have the slightest majesty as usual, it looks like some kind of large animal.
