Chapter 235 Ruyi's Expectations; Hailan's Worry
As soon as Ruyi stepped into Yiku Palace, she was surrounded by two children.
The two of them were chattering and dancing, each talking about their own thing, and for a moment it was impossible to hear clearly what they were saying.
Ruyi smiled and said, "Alright, alright, speak one by one."
Yongqi pulled her sleeve and said, "Queen Mother, please come and draw us an orchid. Her drawings are too ugly."
Yongqi's words were still a little unclear, and he was very anxious: "Empress...I need a big axe."
Yongqi's voice is so cute and funny.
Ruyi pulled them both to the desk in the corridor and said, "Yongqi, you want to paint orchids, right? The Empress Dowager will paint them for you."
Yongqi: "Big...brain axe!"
"Big brain axe!"
Ruyi: "But the big tiger is too difficult, the Empress Dowager can't do it!"
Yongqi curled his lips and looked aggrieved and about to cry.
At this time, Hailan walked out of the main hall with a newly made tiger doll in her hand.
"Yongji, look, Empress Yu has made a big tiger."
Yongqi clapped his hands happily: "Big axe, big axe!"
Ruyi: "Fortunately, you are deft, otherwise I would have upset Yongji, and he would have held a grudge."
Hailan chuckled: "Sister, who told you not to learn from the women's work every day? The stitches are so thick!"
Ruyi: "You just laugh at me."
Hailan smiled and took out two more purses: "Look, sister, this one is for you. I embroidered green cherry on it, this one is orchid, and this one is rose for sister Xiyue."
Ruyi stroked the Qingying pattern on it, and her heart warmed: "You are so thoughtful. I will definitely wear it every day."
Hailan smiled shyly: "Sister understands me best."
Yongqi suddenly said, "Today, Empress Yi... brought her brother Yongxuan to Xiefang Palace."
Hailan nodded: "Yes, I saw it when I went to pick up the children."
Ruyi asked, "Yongxuan is still young and hasn't started to learn. Is she worried?"
"Is she trying to emulate the late queen? Her son can't possibly become the crown prince, right?"
Ruyi: "The only two candidates who can take the throne of Crown Prince are Yonghuang, Yongsheng, and Yongzhang. However, Your Majesty is in his prime, so it would be a bit hasty to appoint a Crown Prince."
Hailan: "Who says it's not true? But the fact that she's so anxious to send her child to school is enough to show her ambition."
"However, how could the Emperor allow a child of foreign blood to be the Emperor? Besides, with her sister Yongqi around, she would just have wild ideas."
Ruyi shook her head and said, "Since the previous dynasty, the crown prince has always been chosen based on merit, not age. Yongji, I just hope he lives a peaceful life. It's better for him not to be crowned or to be emperor."
Hai Lan couldn't help but advise: "But the emperor has high hopes for Yongji, sister, you can't think like that!"
"Hai Lan, you haven't seen it before. Do you think the emperor has been happy since he ascended the throne? This throne is a shackle. I would rather Yongji be an idle prince than an emperor."
Yongqi looked at Ruyi and smiled. He said, "Give me a hug, Empress Dowager."
Ruyi opened her arms and hugged him: "Yongqi, from now on, can you be a leisurely prince?"
Yongqi blinked his bright eyes and asked, "Will there be plenty of food?"
"Of course I will."
Yongqi nodded: "Then I agree."
Children speak without restraint, and Ruyi laughed when she heard what he said.
Hailan was extremely worried. Yongqi took her hand and asked, "Mother, what is a prince? What does a prince eat?"
