Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem
Chapter 187 Ruyi and the children both want to protect each other
Originally, the emperor wanted to promote Zhang Minmin, but Zhang Minmin's identity was too special. Even though she now relied on the status of the adopted daughter of the Ulanara family, the old ministers of the previous dynasty were all shrewd people. How could they be easily deceived?
I'm afraid that if the emperor just appoints Zhang Minmin as a concubine today, some of the ministers will risk their lives to make suggestions in the court tomorrow.
At this time, Ruyi was looking at Yongji, who was sitting at the desk and concentrating on writing, with a gentle face. She couldn't help feeling a little emotional: the chubby little boy who was in her arms back then has grown so big now.
But in the past few days, Jingsi has been unusually lively and energetic during the day, but becomes very sleepy at night.
Ruyi felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't bear to see her so exhausted, so she let Jingsi go to rest early these few nights.
At this moment, Yongqi came over and asked expectantly, "Mother, take a look. Has my son's handwriting improved recently?"
Ruyi smiled and responded, "Okay, bring it here and let mother take a look at it for you."
Yongqi happily handed the words he had just written to Ruyi. After Ruyi took it, she looked at Yongqi's work carefully with a gratified smile on her face. Although Yongqi's talent was not outstanding, he had been working hard for many years. Although the articles he wrote could not be said to be outstanding, they did have unique and brilliant features in some aspects.
"My dear Yongji, he has been getting better and better recently! When the day comes, let the emperor come to see him. He will definitely be very happy!"
Ruyi looked at the smart, well-behaved and lovely child in front of her with a smile on her face, her heart filled with relief and pride.
However, when the Emperor was mentioned, Yongqi, who had been enjoying Ruyi's smile with great joy, suddenly had a look of loneliness and sadness in his eyes. He quietly huddled in Ruyi's warm embrace and said with a slight cry:
"Mother, the Emperor hasn't come to the school to check on my studies for a long time. I heard from people in the palace that the Emperor has been particularly fond of my fourth brother recently. I'm so afraid that the Emperor will no longer love me in the future... If I lose the Emperor's favor, it will definitely affect you, mother..."
Ruyi looked at this heartbreakingly sensible child with heartache, gently stroked his little head, and said softly:
"Silly child, stop thinking about it. The Emperor treats every prince equally, not to mention that you are his legitimate son, so it is natural for him to be like that. Besides, our Yongji works so hard, how could the Emperor not like you? As for your studies, as long as you continue to study hard, the Emperor will naturally see your progress. Moreover, even if one day the Emperor no longer dotes on you like before, your mother will always be by your side, loving and supporting you forever. So, don't worry about these things anymore, you are still young, and you don't need to think so much."
"But mother, Yongji wants more. I heard from the Royal Madam that Aunt Hengchu was married off as a princess. Yongji doesn't want Jingsi to marry off. Yongji wants to protect mother and Jingsi in the future."
Yongqi raised his head and looked at Ruyi seriously.
Ruyi looked at the little person in front of her with a firm and responsible look in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel touched and relieved. She gently touched Yongqi's head and said softly:
"My dear child, I am very happy that you have this intention. But Jingsi will grow up one day and find her own happiness. As a brother, you must learn to be strong and brave so that you can better protect your family. You are still young now. If you blindly rely on your father, it will only backfire."
Ruyi thought of her past life and felt full of regret and self-blame. She knew that she was too obsessed with her relationship with the emperor in her past life and neglected the education and care for her children. Now, facing Yongqi's sensible words, she seemed to be touched by something in her heart, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed and flowed down.
She used to think that as long as she gave her children freedom and happiness and let them grow up as they wished, it would be enough. However, she never realized that as a mother, she should shoulder more responsibilities and teachings. Especially for a child like Yongji who was smart and was the legitimate son, she should pay more attention to cultivating his moral character and ability.
Although the emperor had clearly stated that he would not allow Yongqi to become an idle prince, Ruyi still did not change her mind. Perhaps it was because of this stubbornness that she lost many precious things in her previous life.
In her previous life, Ruyi cut her hair because she was disappointed with the emperor, and no one knew what happened to Yongqi afterwards.
Ruyi pursed her lips distressedly, and finally held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She continued in a slightly slower voice:
"Mother gave birth to you and Jingsi, so she naturally wouldn't stand idly by. You are just an adult, why do you have so many concerns? Yongji, do you believe in mother?"
The person Yongqi admired most since childhood was his mother. No matter how angry his father was, his mother could always find a way to make his father smile immediately.
Yongqi nodded without thinking too much and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, the person Yongqi trusts most is my mother."
"Then Yongji should stop caring about mother and Jingsi's affairs from now on. Mother will take care of Jingsi's affairs. You are just a prince without any real power now. Thinking too much will only make you more worried. Since mother gave birth to you and your sister, she will help you take care of everything. You are such a worrywart."
"Mother~"
Yongqi buried his head back in his mother's arms somewhat embarrassedly. His heart felt as if it was being gnawing at by millions of ants, and he felt a surge of worry and fear.
In fact, the reason why she always wanted the favor of the Emperor was that she hoped that the Emperor would be better to her mother in the future. If there were foreign tribes asking for marriage in the future, she could ask the Emperor to protect her sister.
Although he did not have good qualifications, Yongqi understood that if he wanted to protect his family in the future, he had to desperately maintain his status as the eldest son and the respect of the emperor. Only in this way could he win what he wanted in the future.
But Yongji also felt that his mother was right. Now he only had a heart that wanted to protect his mother and sister. When he really grew up and had the ability to protect everything around him, that would be the time for him to worry. Now he should study hard so as not to disappoint his father and mother.
