She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

She was always worried. As soon as the morning court started, her heart felt like it was hanging in mid-air and could fall at any time.

Her biggest worry was that the "Emperor" would be exposed on the first day. If his identity was revealed, both her and her son's lives would be in jeopardy.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything went smoothly. As you expected, Prince Rong strongly opposed it, but fortunately, the Prime Minister intervened and your position as consort has been restored. I will go to the Imperial Study in a moment and have someone draft the decree."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Cang for your help."

Wanpin breathed a sigh of relief and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

She didn't expect that the people left behind by her third brother were not only capable, but also really worked for her wholeheartedly.

For this plan, almost all of them were mobilized and so many subordinates were sacrificed.

Before, she had always worried that these people were vindictive.

After all, the death of her third brother left them without support, and she knew they must have resentment in their hearts.

In order to test Mr. Cang's loyalty, she specially found a poison and made him take it in front of her to ensure his sincerity.

At that time, Mr. Cang took the poison and swallowed the pill without hesitation. Then he said to her calmly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Third Prince and have no second thoughts. You can rest assured."

Since then, Mr. Cang regularly asked the Third Emperor for the antidote and never complained.

His loyalty and responsibility allowed Concubine Wan to completely put aside her doubts.

She secretly thanked her lucky stars that she had not misjudged the people. These people left behind by her third brother were truly her and the emperor's greatest support.

"We can't rush things, otherwise Prince Rong will notice something. Let's postpone the Third Prince's title of Crown Prince for two days." Concubine Wan said again.

"That's what the Queen said."

The two discussed for a while before the "Emperor" went to the imperial study to read the memorials.

In order to impersonate the emperor, Mr. Cang also learned the emperor's handwriting and practiced for many days before he learned to be very similar. If you are not a professional handwriting reader, you can't tell the difference.

He spoke as little as possible and handled the memorials on the imperial desk in an orderly manner.

Eunuch Hai watched his nose and his heart, standing quietly by and serving.

The "Emperor" personally wrote the imperial edict, stamped it with the seal, and asked Eunuch Hai to go to Concubine Wan's palace to announce the edict in person.

Eunuch Hai has followed the emperor for many years. Today he feels that the emperor is a little different from before, but he can't put his finger on it.

When he received the imperial edict, he respectfully withdrew.

He went to the harem to announce the imperial edict, but when he opened the edict and prepared to read it, he found something wrong. Why was the handwriting a little different from usual?

He often read the emperor's handwriting and was most familiar with the emperor's notes.

However, this was not the time to discuss this. He formally announced the decree, offered congratulations, and returned to the imperial study to continue his duty.

Normally, the emperor would finish a cup of tea every half an hour, and he would add some hot water from time to time so that the emperor could always drink hot tea. But today, an hour had passed and the emperor hadn't even taken a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, is today's tea not to your liking?" Eunuch Hai asked respectfully when the "Emperor" stopped writing.

Only then did the "Emperor" notice that the tea on the imperial desk had already gone cold.

"Eunuch Hai, you are also an old man serving me. The tea is cold, why don't you know to change it?" The "Emperor" suddenly shouted coldly.

Eunuch Hai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will change it for you right away."

Eunuch Hai did not dare to delay at all, and immediately stood up and poured the "Emperor" another cup.

Then he walked out of the hall and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The emperor would never scold him like this for a cup of tea.

What's wrong with the emperor today?

Just at this moment, the seventh prince came over in a haphazard manner.

"Eunuch Hai, is father here?" The seventh prince was already thirteen years old, the age when even cats and dogs disliked him.

Although he was born of a legitimate wife, he knew that he had no chance of becoming an emperor, so he had already determined a position for himself, and just wanted to be a prince who knew how to have fun.

When I study in the study room, I often work for three days and rest for two days.

Fortunately, he was smart and passed every test, so the emperor turned a blind eye.

"Greetings, Seventh Prince. The Emperor is here. It's just..."

"Just what?" The Seventh Prince was puzzled. When did this old servant start to speak hesitantly?

"The emperor seems to be in a bad mood today." Eunuch Hai whispered.

"Oh?" The Seventh Prince's eyes rolled. "Father loves it most when I tell him jokes. I'll go in and make some jokes right now. I'm sure I can make Father laugh heartily."

The seventh prince straightened his clothes, and with a confident smile on his face, he tiptoed into the emperor's study.

Inside the room, the "Emperor" was holding the newly served tea by Eunuch Hai, holding a scroll of memorials in his hand, and seemed to be worried about something.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor." The Seventh Prince saluted, with a hint of mischief in his voice.

The "Emperor" looked up and saw that it was the Seventh Prince. His expression eased a little, but his brows were still not completely relaxed: "No need for formalities. Why are you here instead of studying in the upper study?" The "Emperor" asked seriously.

The Seventh Prince chuckled, moved closer to the Emperor, and said mysteriously, "Father, I've brought a treasure with me today. I guarantee it will make you laugh."

The emperor raised an eyebrow and asked with feigned interest, "Oh? What treasure is it?"

The seventh prince blinked and took out a booklet from his sleeve. The cover of the book had the words "Xiao Lin Secret Book" written in large letters.

"This is a collection of various jokes that I have collected from the people. I guarantee that every one of them will make your father burst into laughter!"

The emperor was amused by his exaggerated expression and twitched his lips, but he still said seriously: "If you can't make me laugh, watch your skin!"

The Seventh Prince nodded vigorously, opened the booklet, cleared his throat, and began to tell the first joke.

“One day, a crab and a shrimp were walking on the beach when they suddenly saw a dolphin leaping out of the sea.

The crab said to the shrimp, "My friend, look at how powerful that dolphin is! It can jump out of the water so high!"

The shrimp listened and replied calmly: "Humph, that's nothing! If you put me in a pot, I can not only jump out of the water, but also jump out of the pot lid!"

The emperor didn't laugh heartily after hearing this. Instead, he just curled his lips and said, "You are such a clever kid! This joke is novel, but it's not funny at all."

Seeing that his jokes were ineffective, the Seventh Prince quickly told a few more humorous jokes.

Some are interesting stories about the palace animals.

Some imitate the daily embarrassing moments of court officials.

Some of them were simply made up by him.

But he performed every joke very hard,

The palace maids who heard this tried to hide their laughter with their hands covering their mouths, but none of them could make the "Emperor" laugh.

The seventh prince was very puzzled.

Normally, the emperor would laugh heartily when he heard him tell jokes, but today he racked his brains and the emperor didn't show any reaction.

The seventh prince looked at the "Emperor" pitifully.

"Okay, what do you want from me?" The "Emperor" had long seen that this kid had something to ask him, which was why he was working so hard.

But he couldn't laugh out loud, because he was in disguise, and if his expression changed too much, people would notice something.
