Ye Jun rolled his eyes at him and acted very speechless.
"It's fine for others to speculate, but Your Majesty, please don't speculate. According to this concubine, if Your Majesty hadn't called him today, Jing'er wouldn't have gone to Your Majesty. Your Majesty always loves to play with children when he comes to Zhaochunxuan. Jing'er is close to you, and he recognizes Your Majesty among all the faces. Children are afraid of strangers, so they will go to the familiar ones."
"Okay, okay, I haven't said anything yet. You don't have to worry. I'm not a tyrant." Ning Chen said helplessly.
Actually, I had some other ideas originally, but after this woman talked about it, nothing was left for me.
If it were someone else, they would definitely seize the opportunity to say something about the crown prince, but Ye Jun quickly distanced himself from it.
Since this matter was ignored as a trivial matter, it was not mentioned again.
The three of them had dinner together again.
The Fourth Prince had his own small table, while Ye Jun and Ning Chen ate at the big table.
Only after the child had eaten and drunk his fill did she ask the wet nurse to take the child away.
After everyone in the room left, Ye Jun lay down on the small couch with a soft pillow in his arms without any image, not wanting to move at all.
"What happened? You're so tired."
Ning Chen sat down next to her, turned her over, and looked at her with a smile.
"My smile was so stiff from entertaining guests at the banquet this morning. Not long after I came back, I was talking to the princess again. Then the emperor came. Look, I didn't even have time to change my clothes." Ye Jun said.
As he said this, he raised his arms.
Only then did Ning Chen notice that Ye Jun was wearing the palace dress she wore at the banquet, which was much heavier than usual.
Ning Chen took her arm and coaxed her in a low voice.
"You are tired, I know, but you have to wash up before you can lie down. Get up quickly, the servants have already prepared water."
"No, Qingqing can't get up, Qingqing wants to sleep." Ye Jun made a fuss on purpose.
He looks at people with the corner of his eyes, cunning like a little fox.
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, knowing that this woman was up to no good again, and followed her very tactfully.
He reached out and untied Ye Yun's belt.
"In that case, you have to take off your outer clothes. My dear, you are tired. I will serve you."
This happened right outside the room. Ye Jun was not willing to let him behave like a hooligan, so she hid immediately.
When Ning Chen dodged, his hands missed and his eyes darkened.
It was no longer about unbuckling the belt, but about tickling.
He circled the man and pushed him onto the couch, scratching his waist without mercy.
Ye Jun was ticklish to begin with, and felt even more itchy when she laughed. After a short while, tears started flowing from her eyes due to laughing, and she begged for mercy in a hurry.
She dodged and twisted on the couch, and her hair became loose.
At this moment, there were some sparkling tears in the corners of her eyes. She finally stopped laughing and was breathing slightly. Her red lips were translucent, which was really charming.
The water for bathing is ready, and it is time to go.
He picked the person up and carried him into the inner room.
Mandarin ducks playing in the water, the room is charming.
By the time I lay down, it was already late at night.
They were too tired to speak, so they lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning.
Ye Jun woke up and rolled to the side. The place next to him was empty, but the quilt was still warm to the touch.
Look at the sky again. It’s still early. I guess he just got up.
So he got off the bed, pulled on his outer coat, put it on, and left the inner room.
Sure enough, Ning Chen was being tied up with a thin belt by the servants and had not left yet.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw a woman in a plain nightgown with a loose Xiangfei-colored coat draped over her. She walked out with small steps and misty eyes.
"Why aren't you sleeping? I woke you up."
Ning Chen caught the little concubine who was still sleepwalking and asked in a low voice.
"Is the emperor leaving? Will he come again?" Ye Jun asked half awake and half confused.
Seeing her like this, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
He hugged her and kissed her forehead, "Be good, I'll come back after court to have lunch with you."
After saying this, he picked up Ye Jun, walked back to the inner room and put her on the bed.
"It's still early. Sleep for another half an hour."
"Um."
Ye Jun nodded, turned over, faced the outside and closed his eyes.
There is some acting involved, but I am really sleepy.
Anyway, she is so cute in Ning Chen's eyes.
He looked at it several more times before leaving.
My heart was stirred again early in the morning.
Half an hour later, Huiyue came in to wake everyone up, and helped them get up to pay their respects to the queen.
There is no doubt that there will be a war of words today.
Sure enough, before they had even started chatting for a few words, the conversation turned sharp.
"Although Ming Shunyi is young, he is good at raising children. No wonder the emperor loves you, especially the fourth prince. Others should learn from him." said the queen.
It is impossible to praise you, but it is certain that you will attract hatred.
"That's right. The Fourth Prince is smart. He can even make the Emperor so happy by doing the one-year-old ceremony. I guess Ming Shunyi must have put a lot of effort into teaching him this way." Yi Shunyuan smiled and said, "Fang Xiuyuan should learn more. The birthdays of these two children are compared every year."
Yao Xiang's eyes darkened and he felt disgusted to death.
But she remained calm, "Thank you Shunyuan for your advice. I will do my best to educate the Third Princess."
Her stubborn attitude was boring, so Yi Shunyuan didn't bother to pay attention to her.
He looked at Ye Jun again, who had the same indifferent expression. He felt uncomfortable and snorted.
"Although it's just one birthday, the birth mother took more care and gave more special instructions, which really makes a difference."
"Of course you have to take more care of your own children. A few days ago, the Third Prince ordered someone to bring soup to the Emperor. He knows how to love others at such a young age. Yi Shunyuan is the one who really teaches him with all her heart. The Fourth Prince is only one year old, so he is not as easy to teach as the Third Prince."
Ye Jun raised his eyes and retorted coldly.
It is obvious to tell which one can be taught better and which can follow the adults' wishes, a one-year-old child or a three-year-old child.
If you suspect others of doing the same thing as you did, you are really judging others by your own standards.
Hui Zhaorong also took the opportunity to give it a push.
"The Third Prince is so filial at such a young age. Yi Shunyuan has really taken great pains to teach the child. The Emperor must like the Third Prince very much. We have so many princes, but none of them has thought of sending soup to the Emperor."
Anyway, it's just a series of retorts.
Even if the Fourth Prince was taught by adults to do the one-year-old ceremony, wasn't it adults who did it for you, the Third Prince, when you delivered the soup
"Well, they are all the emperor's children, and they are all good children. It is a good thing for you mothers to take the trouble to educate your children, but just don't use them for evil purposes."
The Queen spoke at the right time to end the topic.
In the eyes of the queen, these concubines are all the same.
It would be better to die cleanly.
Everyone fell silent, and then the queen spoke again.
"Hui Zhaorong, I heard that the eldest prince had a tantrum last night and was in a rage for a long time. Is this true? Is the child feeling unwell? Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"
"Your Highness, I have asked the imperial physician to examine her. There is nothing wrong with her body. I think she is not familiar with me yet. Yesterday, I saw the Empress Dowager again. She missed the Imperial Grandmother and got mad. I was thinking of taking the two children to pay respects to the Empress Dowager this afternoon."
