My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The eunuch leader on the side looked at the old emperor's mouth, which was almost turned up to the sky, and complained in his heart: Your Majesty, before you say this, please suppress the corners of your mouth first, so that it will sound more credible.

He even tried to be funny: "This is because Lord Fu and Princess Le'an have always been filial and pious. It has not changed over the years."

These words brought back memories for the old emperor.

Think about it, wasn’t it the same for the couple during those years in South Vietnam?

Silver notes or rare and precious items were usually sent along with the secret letters.

At first I just thought it was normal.

Now, he retreated to the Summer Palace to recuperate and let the crown prince govern the country.

In addition to some trusted old ministers, many young officials have already defected to the prince openly or secretly. They probably think they are doing it covertly, but how can they hide it from the emperor who has secret guards?

It's just that because the prince is still stable and has not taken the opportunity to win people's hearts and minds, form cliques and factions to expand his power, he endures it and does not take action.

The emperor also knew that Le An and his wife had a good relationship with the prince's family.

Not to mention that Le'an, the Queen and Changle are as close as real mother and daughter and sisters.

He is the prince, and he had a good relationship with Fu Zhiyi before.

However, after Fu Zhiyi became an official, he had no contact with the prince in order to avoid suspicion.

In fact, the emperor knew in his heart that whether the two of them had really cut off contact or not was only known to them.

However, whether or not they really severed ties was not important. What was important was that Fu Zhiyi had expressed his intention not to participate in the fight for the throne among the princes.

It now seems that the attitudes of Le An and his wife have been very correct so far.

Even though the prince made great efforts in this trip to Gan Ningdao, and now the prince is in the limelight, it is rare for the couple to still be the same as before.

Most importantly, the couple secretly lit a perpetual lamp for him to bless him with a long and healthy life.

This was the blessing the emperor was most happy to hear after recovering from a serious illness.

This also shows the sincerity and honesty of the Le'an couple.

This is better than anything else.

The emperor held the amulet in his palm, looked at it for a long time, and then carefully put it into his purse.

He looked up and met the eunuch's gaze, coughed, and explained uncomfortably, "After all, this is a gift from Le An and his wife, and I can't let it go to waste, right? I'll just wear it for two days reluctantly."

What else could the eunuch chief say? He naturally nodded in agreement.

The next day was the day when the prince came to pay his respects to the emperor and report to him what had happened in the court recently.

When the emperor left the palace to recuperate, he said he was not going to take care of state affairs, but the prince did not dare to take it seriously.

He knelt down and begged the emperor crying, saying that he was young after all and had never dealt with so many important state affairs. He still needed the emperor to grasp the key direction and give him some advice, otherwise he was afraid that he would not handle it well and be looked down upon by the officials below.

The emperor was extremely satisfied when he saw that the prince was crying sincerely.

He said this just to test the prince.

Since the prince was so sensible, he just went along with it. He was angry and couldn't even rest for a few days.

The prince naturally pleaded guilty repeatedly, saying that it was all because his son was incompetent and that his father had to take more care of him.

The father and son decided that the crown prince would pay his respects to the emperor once every ten days and submit important memorials within those ten days for the emperor to review personally.

Of course, if it is particularly urgent, the prince will send it to the emperor on the same day.

After the prince presented all the memorials to the emperor, the emperor had no objections after reading them.

Just breathed a sigh of relief.

The most difficult position in the world is probably that of the crown prince.

Especially when the emperor's father is old and the prince is still at the peak of his career, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, my father seemed to be in a good mood today and did not make things difficult for me or scold me.

This made the prince feel a little better.

After the emperor finished reading the memorial, he reported to the emperor the important things that had happened in the court in the past few days.

The prince wanted to take his leave.

Before he could say anything, the emperor, who had rarely stayed for dinner, said, "It's getting late. Stay and have lunch with me. After lunch, go see your mother."

The prince was startled, but quickly came to his senses and nodded in agreement.

It's still a little early for lunch.

The prince is sitting below, but he can't just sit there.

If I want to chat for a while, I have to plan my words carefully, for fear of saying a wrong word.

After thinking about it, it wouldn’t be wrong to start the conversation by talking about caring about your health, right?

I asked the emperor if he had slept well these days and if he had eaten well. What medicine had he taken?

The emperor didn't say anything, but the chief eunuch next to him answered respectfully.

After the prince asked these questions, the atmosphere fell silent again.

The chief eunuch standing by was getting anxious and tried to wink at the prince.

The prince finally saw it when his eyes were almost cramping.

Following the eunuch chief's gaze, the emperor was playing with a purse in his hand.

Although the purse is exquisite and luxurious, it is also ordinary.

Is there anything special about this purse?

The prince looked at it again and again suspiciously, but couldn't figure out anything.

The prince's action was so obvious, and the emperor was not blind, so he naturally saw it.

He cursed in his heart, saying that he was so tactless. He had been playing with him for a long time and only noticed it after the chief eunuch reminded him. Such a stupid son was actually his own!

But fortunately, I saw it, so I pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The prince shuddered, "I've been seeing this purse your father has been wearing lately. It looks exquisitely crafted, but I've never seen your father wear it before."

The emperor had been waiting for half a day, and this was the moment he was waiting for.

In a nonchalant, yet somewhat boastful tone, he said, "This purse is fine, but the amulet inside has a history."

The prince finally understood what the emperor was trying to show off.

What's so great about showing off a piece of amulet?

However, anyone who is favored by the emperor must be extraordinary.

The prince immediately chimed in: "A peace amulet? I wonder which master made it? Could it be Master Huian from the Huguo Temple?"

The emperor scoffed and said, "This is the amulet that Le An and his wife asked for from the Changshou Temple in Ning County."

The prince was delighted: "Have they reached Gan Ning?"

Then she looked at the amulet in the emperor's hand with jealousy.

He tried to hold it back, but couldn't hold it back any longer, so he said bitterly, "Princess Le'an and his wife are so biased! They went to ask for amulets, but only asked for one for you, my father? They didn't even give one to my mother, so I should have brought some too."

"It makes them look filial and devout, and makes us, their own sons and daughters, look like outsiders."

"No, I must write a letter to scold them. They were sent to Gan Ning to do serious business, not to travel around, pray to the gods, or ask for amulets."

He looked like he was having an itchy tooth.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and began to protect his son. "What do you know? Le An and his wife are filial and always think of me. They are much better than you, the rebellious sons who only know how to anger me all day long."

Seeing that the prince was about to refute.

He glared at her and said, "If you keep whining, I won't leave any more food for you."

The prince immediately became timid.
