Paralytic officials do not seem to learn, the Son of Heaven study hard to improve;

The beauties of the harem were fortunate, but the Emperor's heart was still in one place.

Everyone around the palace knew that the Emperor had become depressed ever since Suxaha was executed, and seemed no longer interested in the affairs of the imperial court. Every day, he would not be in the Hall of Mind, where he would be with the ministers of the Hongwen Courtyard, such as Mingzhu, Xiong Shijin, and Suojiao, to talk about the Confucianism of the Chinese, or else he would be hanging out with a group of newly recruited cloth vaults at the Arrow Pavilion, watching them fight each other for pleasure, while at night he would indulge himself in the harehab. When the news from the palace spread, it made Fu Baoguo relax his vigilance. He believed that the emperor was still a child after all. After suffering a small setback, he lost all confidence and became even more indifferent to the emperor, becoming even more unscrupulous in the imperial court.

After dinner, the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau once again brought up the signboard. Xuan Ye casually picked up a signboard and said, ”Agree to Yin Ruo Lan.” Then, thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn't seen her for a long time.

In this period of time, the Imperial Concubine Zhao had already favored the rich and powerful. Although the Imperial Concubine Zhao, New-Lu Dongzhu, had a lively personality, he actually felt very willful and overbearing, and actually asked him to visit her often. The more he requested him to, the more annoyed Xuan Ye became, and the more he didn't want to go, he would rather go see the Queen often, but Old Zhong Tang had just passed away, and the Queen was still in her filial mourning period. Although he often went to comfort her, he didn't stay there. Furthermore, Yue Yang was very dissatisfied that Yue Yang would help the Zhou Empire to pay respects, and Imperial Concubine Zhao was even his goddaughter, so he was naturally a little angry at Imperial Concubine Zhao. Currently, Ming Zhu was one of the subjects he trusted and relied on the most. Therefore, Xuan Ye was somewhat willing to rely on her. However, this person did not like to talk, so he could not say anything that Xuan Ye liked to hear. Xuan Xuan Xuan felt a little bored.

After dinner, Xuan Xuan went to visit Gai Rong'er in the chamber from the Palace of Preservation and Peace as usual. His favors had already been shared among the others, and now that Rong'er was pregnant, he felt that it was only right for him to do so. No one could say that they were wrong. Rong'er was already nine months pregnant, and his stomach was already round. Therefore, it would be inconvenient for him to send her to the Peace Faction, and Xuan Xuan Xuan had repeatedly warned the palace maids waiting upon him to take care of her, as well as the Empress Dowager and Empress taking care of her.

In Rong'er's room.

Gai Rong'er laughed and said, ”Your majesty, Rong'er thinks that this child must be a prince. He's too mischievous, and has a restless life in Rong'er's stomach.”

Xuan Ye smiled and said, ”When he comes out, Zhen will give him a good lesson in your place. How can you let your eldest mother suffer so much?”

Gai Rong'er lightly stroked his belly and said: ”Oh dear mother, I can't bear to let your royal father teach you a lesson, haha.”

Xuan Ye held Rong'er by the shoulders and softly said, ”Rong'er, thank you for all the trouble you've gone through. You've been tormented to death by this kid.”

”It can't be!” Gai Rong'er smiled and replied, ”This is Rong'er and the Emperor's son. They are the first sons of the Emperor. No matter how much trouble Rong'er has to put in, he will still be happy.”
