When the emperor arrives, the family banquet will officially begin.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao are both smart children.
They have no doubts about Mrs.
Fang sitting at the top, with the father and the noble concubine on the left and right.
The emperor looked around and saw that this time was a real family banquet.
Today, it was not a family banquet for those so-called noble relatives and clan members.
There should be only a few people at the family banquet that he recognized.
Even Princess Yubing was in good spirits at the moment.
She was brought over by Liu Shanggong to show her face and salute the emperor.
Although the words of greeting were vague, Liu Shanggong had to be on the side to give some advice, but after all, it was a great improvement compared to before.
The emperor personally brought a glass of wine to Madam Fang: "Thanks to Madam for taking such good care of me, Yu Bin asked you to take more trouble."
Mrs.
Fang shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that."
Mrs.
Fang talked a lot to others, but she rarely talked to the emperor.
As for the emperor, he was also a little awkward with Mrs.
Fang, and he didn't know what to say.
In fact, according to Xie Ning, Mrs.
Fang definitely did not want to be cold to the emperor.
The emperor also wanted to get along well with Mrs.
Fang, but the estrangement for many years could not be eliminated in an instant, and both of them were introverted people. , not used to showing emotions.
However, with Xie Ning and a few children here, the meal was quite enjoyable.
After the banquet, Xie Ning sent the two younger ones back first.
Mrs.
Fang saw the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao playing chess together, and it felt like she had gone back to the past.
At that time, the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao had just arrived at Yong'an Palace. soon.
"Your Majesty is also tired today.
I'll have someone make some soothing tea.
Your Majesty can have a cup of tea before leaving."
Seeing that Mrs.
Fang had something to say, the Emperor helped her sit down on the edge of the Kang: "You have been tired these past few days.
You should rest more."
They obviously care about each other deeply, but the mother and son speak so dryly, and they sound more polite than to outsiders.
"These days, there is a lot of chaos everywhere for the festival.
After the Lantern Festival, I want to go to the Yuquan Palace.
My wife will also be in the palace to have a good rest."
Mrs.
Fang held the tea cup and was silent for a moment before saying: "I understand the emperor's intention.
It's just that going back and forth will inevitably delay government affairs.
It's better not to use too much effort."
As soon as the words came out, it became quiet again.
Mrs.
Fang's original intention was also for the emperor's benefit, but her words sounded stiff for some reason, as if she was repelling him thousands of miles away.
The emperor didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was already getting late, and it was time for the emperor to go back if he delayed for a while longer.

Mrs.
Fang simply said: "In the past two days, someone has sent me a message asking about the arrival of another person in the Spring Palace."
Many people are concerned about this matter.
Many people were jealous of the imperial concubine and the Lin family, thinking of using their daughter to gain wealth.
In the past, most of the selections were from the private sector, and there were not many daughters from official families.
If we choose again this time, I am afraid that many people will be tempted to insert their own daughters into it.
These people also know that the imperial concubine is now in charge of palace affairs, and she can make most of the decisions about who to choose and who not to choose.
If the imperial concubine wants to exclude dissidents, then the most beautiful lady will not be able to get in front of the emperor, so they moved their ideas to Mrs.
Fang.
Coming.
These people thought very well.
Mrs.
Fang was so powerful when she was in Yong'an Palace.
Now she has dignity and honor, but no real power.
She only ends up idle and retiring.
It is expected that she will not be reconciled and may not want to see the imperial concubine.
The power is overwhelming, so I want to start with her.
If she fights with the imperial concubine, wouldn't others have a chance?
This wishful thinking is crackling, how could Mrs.
Fang not see through these people's plans?
“I don’t know what the emperor’s plan is.”
The emperor quickly replied: "The draft is a waste of people and money.
In the past few times, because of the draft, some people used the draft to make money for personal gain and harm the people.
I have long wanted to stop the draft and officially issue the decree after the New Year." " Mrs.
Fang nodded, and after a while she asked again: "Does the Emperor mean to stop just this time, or in the future?"
"I think there are enough people in the harem.
Sometimes I feel ridiculous when I think about it.
They are all my concubines, but when we were together last night, I didn't even recognize who was who."
Not to mention those who have not been lucky enough to be summoned before.
Even if the woman he has been lucky enough to be summoned before, standing in front of him, the emperor only feels very strange.
Although he knows who this person is, there is no trace of this person in his memory. .
Li Zhaorong, Liang Meiren, and Bai Meiren were all concubines who had slept with him before, but the emperor could not remember their appearance at all.
It was not that he had forgotten them over a long period of time, but that he had never paid attention to what they looked like from the beginning. .
To the emperor, these women all looked the same, wrapped in gorgeous palace clothes, speaking the same words, with similar stereotyped smiles, and the same light shining in their eyes.
This is probably what it means to be a thousand people alike.
Sometimes, from the Changning Hall to the Harem, he was the master of this huge palace, but after passing the closed palace doors, the emperor felt that the people living in those doors were strangers, or slightly strangers.
Somewhat familiar, just like the neighbors who only know their names.
There was already so much resentment in the palace, why bother adding new people?
There are only so many people that can be accommodated in one person's heart.
The emperor asked himself that he could no longer hold the new people in his heart, not to mention that when new people were brought in, new rights and wrongs would be introduced.
"That's good, so that I don't have to worry about those people all the time."
Mrs.
Fang was not surprised.
From the birth of the second prince to now, the emperor has never summoned anyone else.
Even though the imperial concubine was pregnant again and could not sleep with the third prince during the period of giving birth, the emperor never looked at anyone else.

"Actually, I have another plan these days."
Mrs.
Fang leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to what the emperor said next.
Xie Ning is currently coaxing the child.
The second prince was tired after a day of hard work.
When the palace servants washed his feet, he was already sleeping soundly there.
He didn't wake up even after his clothes were taken off and he was put into bed.
The third prince had already slept and woke up.
After being fed by the wet nurse, he had probably slept enough, and now he was energetic.
Xie Ning did not ask for help and wanted to re-swaddle the baby.
As a result, the third prince did not cooperate at all, and his two chubby legs kicked very hard.
Fortunately, the room was warm.
If there were no earth dragons and no heating, how could he be as comfortable as he is now?
Xie Ning held his chubby feet and looked at his small toes.
The toenails seemed to be a little longer.
Should I cut it shorter?
But this kid is so dishonest.
What if he moves around while cutting and cuts some flesh?
Well, it would be safer to cut it while he is asleep.
"Feng'er Feng'er, this is your name.
Your father gave it to you.
Do you think it sounds nice or not?
But this character is not easy to write.
It will definitely be a headache to learn how to write your own name when you enter school in the future."
The third prince chuckled and grabbed his feet, completely unaware of the huge troubles waiting for him in the future
