A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

Sacrifice to heaven is a big deal.

After the emperor proposed it, the Ministry of Rites quickly began preparations.

The day falls on the Double Ninth Festival, which is a good time to climb high and pray for blessings.

Coupled with the crisp autumn weather, Mount Tai is not too cold yet and climbing is not that strenuous.

Soon, the date was set.

The emperor, on his side, stayed up late at night to resolve the issue.

He went to pray for blessings, but there was not even a prisoner.

Those adult princes were killed, imprisoned, and none of them could be used.

Every time at this time, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, after twenty years of hard work, he came back alone.

He was not young anymore, and he had to cultivate his offspring. When he looked among the princes, he found that none of them were pleasing to his eye.

Something that is slightly pleasing to the eye has to be guarded against, and it is impossible to take advantage of it.

The emperor said that it seems that there will be a draft next year, and the big thing is to spread the branches.

This time I went to pray, hoping that God would give me an excellent successor.

Yan Bao knew that whether she could go to Mount Tai was not decided by her father, so she packed up the next day and asked Mrs. Shen to take her into the palace. On the surface, she was going to visit Concubine Jing, but in fact she was going to see the emperor.

Soon, Eunuch Fu carried a box to the imperial study, where the emperor was processing the papers. When the emperor was resting, Eunuch Fu sent the things he had prepared: "Your Majesty, Miss Yanbao has entered the palace. She said it was because of your hard work. , I specially brought canned yellow peaches made for the New Year, and they were made by Miss Yanbao herself!"

It was just a few words written on the bottle.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Has Yan Bao entered the palace?"

"Yes, in Concubine Jing Palace."

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Go and tell me that Bao will have dinner in the palace. I will go to Jingfei Palace later."

Eunuch Fu guessed this, nodded with a smile, and immediately went down to arrange for someone to tell Concubine Jing so that they could be prepared.

He also asked: "Your Majesty, would you like to try the canned food?"

The emperor nodded.

Soon, the can of sweet and refreshing yellow peaches was opened, tested for poison, and allowed to eat again. After confirming that there was no problem, the emperor took a bite of the yellow peach. The flesh was thick and plump, with a strong yellow peach aroma, and the soup was clear. Sweet but not greasy, the taste is excellent.

The emperor was satisfied with the meal: "This can tastes really good. Yan Bao is so smart at such a young age. The thirteenth prince is indeed a lucky one."

"Miss Yanbao is blessed to be praised by the emperor!" Eunuch Fu is a good flatterer, and the emperor really liked this trick, with a smile on his face and wrinkles on the corners of his eyes.

On Yan Bao's side, he chatted with Concubine Jing and the others, ate some snacks and pastries, and ate a bowl of canned yellow peaches. He brought a lot of them to the palace this time, all to honor Concubine Jing and the emperor.

The Thirteenth Prince is in the academy at the moment and will be picked up when he finishes school.

Knowing that the emperor was coming, Concubine Jing smiled a little more on her face.

If Yan Bao is willing to visit the palace more often, Concubine Jing will welcome him.

As long as she enters the palace, the emperor will basically come and sit there.

Many people in the harem joked that Concubine Jing was just following Yan Bao to take advantage, otherwise the emperor would not have come to her palace to pick up a prince, and she was given a good way to win favor.

Especially those who had looked down upon the Thirteenth Prince before, but now seeing Concubine Jing's glory, they were all furious and regretful.

Concubine Jing doesn't care. Isn't it because they are so bitter that they are jealous?

As long as she lives her own life well and takes care of the Thirteenth Prince as her own child, she will have a backer in the future.

As for the emperor's favor, you get it if you have it, and don't force it if you don't have it. The harem has kept a low profile for these years, and Concubine Jing knows how to protect herself.

The most taboo thing for people is not being satisfied.

Concubine Jing is very content now. The Thirteenth Prince is well-behaved and obedient. The emperor is kind to her, not to mention doting on her. He comes to her palace once or twice every month. Even if she doesn't have to sleep with her, it is the greatest thing if she can stay in Concubine Jing's palace. favor.

With this favor, those in the harem who flattered others and disdained others did not dare to say anything.

When the emperor arrived, Yan Bao and the others greeted him at Concubine Jing Palace.

Don't look at Yan Baopi. She has learned all the rules very well. She can pretend to be a lady from a well-known family or a lady from a famous family. She can't find any fault with her.

The emperor saw Yan Bao bowing obediently and smiled kindly: "Yan Bao, come here, I heard that the can you presented to me was made by yourself?"

Yan Bao nodded and shook his head.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what does this mean?"

Yan Bao took out a charcoal pen and wrote: "Yan Bao dare not deceive you. Except for the words written by Yan Bao, everything else was done by others. Yan Bao didn't pick the peaches, peel them, boil them, or fill them."

Yan Bao's honest performance made the emperor laugh: "You kid, what are you telling the truth about? I just like those few words you wrote."

Yan Bao wrote words on each bottle, either "Long live my emperor", "Your emperor is lucky", "Your emperor is mighty and domineering", "Your emperor is wise and powerful"...

The compliments were direct and warm, and each one was different. The emperor admired them for a long time and asked Eunuch Fu to put them away. They were all his. He wanted to keep them for himself, but he could not take advantage of others.

Yan Bao was so attentive that the emperor was flattered.

The emperor was in a good mood and couldn't help but hug Yan Bao. When Yan Bao got older, the emperor wouldn't be able to hug her anymore. He felt regretful just thinking about it.

Originally, he was supposed to have a little prince or princess, but it was all Cai Yuanyue's fault.

In the past few days, she asked to see the emperor, but the emperor ignored her and did not allow anyone to send messages.

Cai Guiren completely fell out of favor.

Even when the eleventh prince broke his leg in the academy, the emperor did not go to see him, but asked Eunuch Fu to take a look.

Don't think that the emperor doesn't know that the leg-breaking was intentional, just for the purpose of a bitter trick.

At this time, Cai Guiren still wants to use the bitter meat trick to get the eleventh prince to return to him.

Knowing what Cai Guiren wanted, the emperor refused to let her get her wish.

The emperor had no intention of passing the throne to the eleventh prince anyway, and he didn't care whether he had a broken leg or hand.

Seeing Yan Bao, the emperor thought, what if God could give him a prince who was as smart and cute as Yan Bao, who could read people's words, and be a little cunning, and a clever and clever prince?

Of course, be healthy.

The mute prince doesn't want it.

Yan Bao didn't know that she was being disliked again. She was working hard to please the emperor!

After the meal, Yan Bao wrote a few words and asked the emperor: Is Mount Tai far far away? Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, so take care of your dragon body!

The emperor saw it and smiled: "Has Yan Bao been to Mount Tai?"

Yan Bao shook his head, looking at the emperor expectantly with a pair of big watery eyes, and showed a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, you understand what I mean, take me with you, I will ensure that you turn disaster into good luck!" 】

Mrs. Shen didn't see it, but fortunately she was the only one who could hear Yan Bao's heart.

If the emperor could hear it, the Shen family would be gone long ago.

The Thirteenth Prince could also hear it. He knew that Yan Bao wanted to go to Mount Tai, and he wanted to go too. He also wanted to be wherever Yan Bao was.

Thinking of this, the Thirteenth Prince pulled the emperor's sleeves to please him, revealing the same look in Yan Bao's eyes that was looking forward to pleasing him. His eyes were not as big and round as Yan Bao's, but his begging look was not annoying either. .

The emperor saw their little thoughts and frowned: "The road is very long and the mountain is very high. We can't use a carriage. We have to climb it by ourselves. You are young, so I'm afraid you won't be able to climb it."

Yan Bao heard the looseness in the emperor's tone, and she patted her chest with a relaxed look on her face: "It's just climbing a mountain. I can't climb up. My dad can climb up. Let my dad carry me!" 】

Taishan will cure everyone who talks harshly. I have a father, so I am not afraid.

Mrs. Shen: "..."

Husband, your little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air!

Chief Shen, who was handling matters, couldn't help but sneeze: "Who said anything about me?"

The Thirteenth Prince secretly clenched his fist, "Yan Bao, I can carry you, I have the strength."

Later, the Thirteenth Prince lay on Brother Shen's back, but Brother Shen was exhausted.
