Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The sixth prince, who was already married, was vying for the emperor's favor with the young tenth prince, while the emperor just watched and laughed from the sidelines, showing no intention of rescuing Yin Yin.

"Father," Yin Yin called out in a roundabout and melodious way, which made the emperor unable to help but smile even more brightly.

"Alright, alright," the emperor coughed lightly, barely managing to hold back, before sending someone to fetch Chengsi. "Let the children play."

The sixth prince considered himself the elder and naturally took good care of Chengsi. Although the tenth prince was young, he followed his brother's example and called Chengsi "nephew" repeatedly.

Chengsi was also good-tempered, calling these two living ancestors "uncle" repeatedly, which made them both very happy. As soon as they were free, they gave him a lot of good things.

Yinyin shook her head: "He's never lacked for food or other necessities, so why does he have to ask for his uncles' favorite things?"

"What's wrong with uncles giving their nephews a few things?" The emperor watched with amusement, a touch of nostalgia creeping in. "Yinyin, don't mind them, let the children handle it themselves."

Yinyin had no choice but to agree, and she had more opportunities to bring Chengsi with her when she entered the palace regularly.

The tenth prince was not allowed to leave the palace, so Chengsi was usually allowed to study with him at the Hongwen Academy.

The sixth prince has already married and is living outside the palace. He enjoys eating, drinking, having fun, and socializing with others, never forgetting his share of the inheritance.

Fortunately, Yin Yin had made it clear in advance that the Sixth Prince would not dare to take Cheng Si to places he shouldn't go.

Despite this, Chengsi was both literate and martial, yet also a spendthrift.

Yin Yin had a good opportunity to mention this matter to the Emperor, but the Emperor stopped her and told her not to interfere.

"I've been short of your household expenses? If Chengsi wants to buy something, let him buy it," the emperor said nonchalantly. "With so much wealth in his hands, he won't care about those little things in officialdom in the future."

Yinyin should still teach her child in private, otherwise, how can she manage if he becomes an official and is arrogant and disdainful of others?

But now, facing the emperor, she still said, "Father, if you say that, you will have to take care of Chengsi's future."

“If he’s used to being extravagant and makes any mistakes, I’ll say it’s all because you taught him to do it.”

"I'll take care of it," the emperor replied irritably, then turned and sent Yin Yin away to inspect the training of the Western Guard.

Now that Grandpa Wu is old, he has handed over many of his duties to his godson, Little Grandpa Wu, but he still takes care of sending Yin Yin out himself.

Upon reaching the entrance of Xuan Shi Hall, Yin Yin asked Eunuch Wu to stop: "I heard that you are leaving the palace this month?"

Eunuch Wu nodded, his back hunched: "The princess knows too? This servant is old and may easily delay His Majesty's important business. It is time for me to go out now."

"Where does Father-in-law plan to stay when he goes out?" Yin Yin asked. "If Father-in-law doesn't plan to go back to his hometown, why not come and stay at my residence? I'll talk to Father Emperor about it, and he'll definitely be willing."

“How can this be?” Eunuch Wu was unusually at a loss. “How can this servant possibly live in the princess’s residence?”

“Why not? I was raised by my father-in-law. I’ve already had a place prepared for you,” Yin Yin laughed. “Your father-in-law should go back and think it over. As long as you’re willing, this can definitely be done.”

In fact, regardless of whether Eunuch Wu was willing or not, Yin Yin had already made up her mind.

Eunuch Wu served the emperor closely, unlike other senior eunuchs who married and acquired property outside the palace. His adopted sons also served the emperor in the palace.

If he were to return to his hometown after leaving the palace like other senior eunuchs, not to mention whether he would have any future prospects, the officials he had offended over the years while managing the Mingjing Hall would be enough to cause him a lot of trouble.

Yinyin was mainly afraid that Eunuch Wu would die mysteriously on the way.

She hadn't forgotten that when her mother had just passed away, her life was cold and lonely. It was only when Eunuch Wu came out on the emperor's orders that he made a special trip to see her and gave special instructions to Xi Yan and the others around her that her life began to change.

Later, when she was three years old, she was old enough to enter the palace, and Eunuch Wu often spoke well of her to the emperor.

Yin Yin remembers all these kindnesses.

After returning from her trip to Xiwei, Yinyin immediately brought up the matter with the emperor.

The emperor was somewhat surprised, but more pleased. He said to Eunuch Wu, "If you are not going back to your hometown, then go back with Yinyin."

“Going back to his hometown is fine,” Yinyin said from the side. “If Grandpa Wu wants to go back, I can send someone to go with him. We’ll bring him back the same way we sent him there.”

"If Eunuch Wu misses Father Emperor in the future, I can help deliver a message. If Father Emperor wants to see Eunuch Wu, he can still see him often, just like he does now."

Having said that, Eunuch Wu naturally wouldn't refuse anymore.

The emperor was pleased, feeling that Yin Yin was thinking what he was thinking. He pulled Yin Yin aside and gave her a few more instructions, mostly about small things related to Eunuch Wu. Eunuch Wu was so moved that he burst into tears and almost said that he would stay in the palace and serve the emperor until he died.

The emperor was also moved, but he was now at ease and did not insist that his old friend stay.

After leaving the palace, Eunuch Wu lived happily at Yin Yin's house. All the officials who were waiting for him to leave the palace, intending to settle their scores, were dumbfounded.

Some officials who couldn't stand seeing Eunuch Wu doing well secretly tried to persuade Yin Yin and Liu Cheng, saying that it wasn't right for her to bring a eunuch into her home. Yin Yin pretended not to hear and simply ignored them.

Those with ulterior motives had no choice but to back down, since they lacked the ability to cause trouble at the princess's residence.

With Eunuch Wu living a good life, the emperor felt less comfortable in the palace. He was used to having Eunuch Wu by his side and would call on him first for everything.

After Yinyin found out, she went to the palace several more times.

The emperor said that she was always around and he was always bored, but at the same time he was very happy and loved to talk to her.

It was during this time that Yin Yin noticed that not only Eunuch Wu had aged, but the Emperor had also aged.

The emperor's temples were already turning gray, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before.

Now that the courtiers have once again requested the establishment of a crown prince, the emperor, after careful consideration, has chosen the tenth prince.

The ministers thought it was because the tenth prince was the legitimate prince, but the emperor said to Yin Yin, "This boy is young, but he is very clever. He is not arrogant and is willing to lose face, making the palace servants who serve him very clever."

After listening for a few moments, Yin Yin asked, "Father, are you sure you're referring to Prince Kua Shi?"

“How can this not be a compliment?” the emperor said meaningfully. “To be an emperor, one cannot be too obedient and compliant.”
