Princess Yonghe was raised by Queen Fang since she was a child.
Before the Fourth Prince came along, Queen Fang treated her no differently than her own daughter. She had also tried very carefully to please her stepmother at first, but as time went by, she realized that Queen Fang really didn't mind raising her like a kitten or a puppy.
After so many years, Yonghe understood Empress Fang's personality very well. Knowing that she was not angry, he pouted and acted coquettishly with Empress Fang: "Mother... ..didn't my aunts also follow the late emperor around in the past?"
She paused, lowered her head and muttered, "And Aunt Changle, before she married the Marquis of Pingxi, didn't she get the permission of the Emperor's grandfather to pay homage to her biological parents? I've checked, there are precedents..."
Queen Fang looked at her with both anger and amusement: "You've checked this too?"
Yonghe was obviously concerned. While playing with his brother with the cloth tiger, he whispered, "Mother, I have thought about it carefully. Shen Chen is indeed a good candidate."
She raised her head and looked at Queen Fang seriously, and said softly, "I know Shen Chen is a playboy, but he is also a capable playboy, isn't he? The anti-Japanese theory he wrote back then was praised even by the Governor of Jizhou."
That was a long time ago. Queen Fang was a little dazed. After a while, she shook her head and sighed: "But you also know Shen Chen's temper. He is capable, but he is also a person who easily acts on impulse. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been separated from the Linjiang Palace..."
The implication is that since Shen Chen said he doesn't like Yonghe, then he really doesn't like it.
Princess Yonghe's movements were a little slow, and the Fourth Prince, who had long been a little impatient, suddenly pounced on Princess Yonghe and scratched her face.
Queen Fang frowned immediately, hugged the Fourth Prince in her arms, and scolded him in a low voice: "Why are you becoming more and more ignorant as you grow older?! Why do you even hit your sister?!"
When the Fourth Prince went to visit the Fifth Prince yesterday, he knocked over the Fifth Prince's medicine, and the scalding liquid poured all over the bed. If the Fifth Prince's wet nurse had not been quick to jump on him and block the water for him, the Fifth Prince would have been disfigured.
Emperor Longqing was very unhappy about this matter, and told her privately that she should teach the Fourth Prince well, saying that it was not a good thing for him to be so violent at such a young age.
Queen Fang was already filled with anger, and seeing her son still being so violent, she could no longer bear it.
It was Princess Yonghe who hurried to hug the Fourth Prince, who burst into tears, and lowered her head to coax him patiently.
Empress Fang was anxious and angry. She was about to ask the nurse to take the crying Fourth Prince away when the voice of Emperor Longqing rang out from outside: "What happened again? Why is A-Man crying again?"
Queen Fang and Princess Yonghe looked at each other, both a little flustered.
Princess Yonghe bowed her head and greeted the Emperor Longqing who had already entered. The Emperor Longqing said goodbye and went to see the Fourth Prince with a friendly look: "Why is Ah Man crying again?"
Yesterday, he severely scolded the ignorant Fourth Prince because of the Fifth Prince. After calming down, he felt a little regretful.
He only has these two sons, and he values each of them dearly.
Before, the Fourth Prince was in poor health, and he was always terrified that he would die, so he indulged him even more. Although he is a little disappointed because of his increasingly bad temper now, he is still his own son, and he still feels sorry for him. Today, he hurried to see his son after returning from Xiyuan.
Queen Fang quickly winked at Princess Yonghe, who understood and quickly turned around to leave.
Emperor Longqing was distracted and called Princess Yonghe: "There is a family banquet at the Chang'an Princess's residence today, so you can go out for me..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the bloodstains on Princess Yonghe's face. He stopped talking, squinted his eyes to look at his son who was still scratching and nagging his nurse, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
It was too late for Princess Yonghe to retreat. She bit her lip, covered her face and knelt on the ground, hastily explaining: "I stole my brother's cloth tiger, which made him cry, and I wanted to hug him..."
Queen Fang hugged her son with cold hands: "It's because Xiao Si has a bad temper..."
Emperor Longqing didn't say anything. He glanced at her calmly and coughed gently at Princess Yonghe: "Go back and ask Wang Gongfeng how important a girl's face is. I wanted to ask you to go to Chang'an tonight, but seeing your face, don't go."
He cleared his throat and said calmly, "Shen Chen is stubborn, but he is not ungrateful. Since you like him, you should spend more time with him. There have been many happy events recently, including your uncle Zheng's wedding and the weddings of the princes of the vassal states. There are many opportunities for you to interact with him."
Princess Yonghe didn't dare to say anything else and just responded in a low voice.
After Princess Yonghe left, Emperor Longqing stood up with an expressionless face.
Queen Fang was a little flustered. She knew that Emperor Longqing had been dissatisfied with the Fourth Prince recently, so she forced a smile to tease the Fourth Prince and asked him to call him father.
The fourth prince is about to turn two years old. With the coaxing and teaching of his wet nurse and palace maids, he can occasionally call out the words "Father".
When Emperor Longqing heard it for the first time, he was overjoyed. But now that Empress Fang mentioned it, he just waved his hands and frowned: "If you want to waste your time on this, you might as well teach him how to calm down."
How can a child be taught these things? How can he understand them
Queen Fang felt aggrieved, but Emperor Longqing didn't even look at the Fourth Prince and turned away.
Without asking, one could tell that they were going to the Lanyue Palace. Queen Fang angrily poked her son with a finger and bit her lip. She wanted to scold him, but when she looked at her son's eyes she couldn't say anything harsh, so she could only hug her son and sulk.
It was Aunt Xiao who carefully advised: "The Fourth Prince is indeed a little impatient..."
Queen Fang herself knew that unless she fell asleep, she would not let go of something. As for things, once they were in her hands, she would not let them go. As long as others touched them, she would lose her temper and cry, and she would never want that thing again.
I don't know who I inherited this temper from.
But he is so young and he can't understand when you talk to him.
Queen Fang sighed softly, rubbed her brows, and was about to speak when she heard that Princess Jin wanted to see her. She had no choice but to wink at the wet nurse and ask her to take the Fourth Prince away.
The wet nurse quickly responded, bent down, hugged the still crying Fourth Prince, and quickly retreated.
Princess Jin came to talk about letting the children stay in Beijing.
Queen Fang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Are the others staying?"
Princess Jin quickly replied yes.
