Chapter 273 Mother and Son
The eldest prince was shocked by the Sixth Prince's gaze and paused. Then he saw the Sixth Prince slowly smile at the Fifth Prince: "Fifth Brother, you don't have to worry about my schoolwork. You must complete yours well!"
The Fifth Prince's expression froze, and his usually lively tongue could not move at all. He was most afraid that Emperor Shenwu would check his schoolwork. If such a thing happened tomorrow, he would definitely be punished and unable to leave the palace. For a moment, the Fifth Prince's face was filled with worry.
The Second Prince glanced at the Fifth Prince. This Fifth Prince simply didn't learn his lesson. Why would he go and provoke the Sixth Prince for no reason? He hadn't changed even after so many lessons.
The fifth prince and the third prince are very interesting. Perhaps because his mother's family is not prominent enough, the fifth prince really wants to make progress, but unfortunately his qualifications are limited, and he is a real playboy.
The third prince was actually very outstanding in both civil and military affairs, but he always kept a low profile and pretended to be an ordinary and untalented person.
The clever Sixth Prince already knew all of this. As for what his legitimate younger brother thought, that was a matter of opinion.
The eldest prince finally realized what was happening and said cheerfully, "Then I'll make the bed ready for you!"
The princes discussed some archery techniques, and when they reached a fork in the road, the Sixth Prince took the lead and said, "I have to go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I'll take my leave now. My brothers, please do as you please."
The second prince replied first, "Give my regards to Queen Mother for me. I will go to Fengqi Palace to pay my respects to her in person another day."
The remaining princes also responded, and the Sixth Prince's phoenix eyes showed real warmth: "Okay, I will convey it to Mother!"
After the Sixth Prince left, several other princes soon dispersed and returned to their own palaces.
When Lan Qingwu returned to Fengqi Palace, he was already fast asleep in the arms of Emperor Shenwu.
When Lan Qingwu woke up, Emperor Shenwu had long disappeared. Lan Qingwu's eyes moved and he realized that Emperor Shenwu had returned to Qianzheng Hall to handle state affairs.
Ruping Ruyan quietly entered the bedroom to help Lan Qingwu wash and dress. A quarter of an hour later, the Sixth Prince entered the bedroom.
The Sixth Prince had great admiration for his mother. When he was born, there was a dangerous situation, and his mother, who had always been delicate, wanted to leave him a chance of survival at the first opportunity.
As the emperor's first legitimate son, the Sixth Prince already had his own confidants early on, and these palace secrets were not kept so strictly guarded, so he naturally knew about them.
The Sixth Prince bowed respectfully to Lan Qingwu. Lan Qingwu asked him to sit beside him and asked him about his archery with a smile.
The mother and son were affectionate and affectionate. The Sixth Prince hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother, my eldest brother invited us brothers to a small gathering at his palace."
Lan Qingwu was slightly stunned before smiling, "That's exactly what should happen. The eldest prince hasn't been back to the palace for many years, so I imagine he's a little unfamiliar with you brothers. You should get to know each other better."
The Sixth Prince nodded and was about to say something when he saw the wet nurse and the palace maid come in with the swaddled Seventh Princess in their arms. Lan Qingwu reached out and took her in. In the swaddle, the Seventh Princess had just opened her pair of distinct black and white eyes, which were rolling back and forth. The Sixth Prince looked at this delicate and delicate little sister, and his heart had already softened. He and Lan Qingwu teased the Seventh Princess for a while.
The Sixth Prince looked at Lan Qingwu's gentle expression and said, "Mother, did you hold me like this back then?"
Lan Qingwu paused for a moment and replied, "Of course. You are the first child of our mother, the queen, and our father, the emperor. Naturally, I have held you in my arms."
Lan Qingwu was still thinking silently, could it be that he was a little jealous because he saw himself holding the little one?
Even when Emperor Shenwu finally waited for the birth of his legitimate son, he couldn't hold him enough all day long.
The Sixth Prince, Zhou Chengchen—literally, the one the Emperor had been waiting for for years before being born! How could he not love this son?
