1964 A natural-born Emperor
....
“I know, you must think that there’s a problem with him asking niannian to teach him how to make fireworks and he wants to use it on weapons.” Gu shouxin smiled and said, ” this kid has long heard the Emperor mention it.
“Eh? Why is the Emperor telling him this for no reason?” Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.
“Oh?” Cai Xiaolian had rarely heard Gu shouxin praise a child like this.
“Yes, a natural-born Emperor.” Gu shouxin nodded with certainty and said a few more things. like our children, Xiao Qi, Xiao BA, and the rest are all older than the Crown Prince. However, no one could listen to court Affairs with great interest like the Crown Prince. At first, I thought he was just curious, but when I asked him, he actually remembered half of what we said. Although he didn’t understand everything, he could still listen. He had patience. He’s different from ordinary children. Ordinary children need their parents to comfort them, but he’s the one who does it. ”
“What?” Cai Xiaolian was truly shocked.
“When we just came back, I went to the Imperial study to report. After that, the Emperor asked me to go to Imperial grandmother’s place to eat. The Empress and Crown Prince were also there. I noticed during the meal that this child didn’t like to eat vegetables. The Empress was very worried. Although she didn’t say it out loud and her expression was very calm, the Crown Prince could see that he was really holding back his dislike and forcing himself to eat the dishes that the elders said he didn’t like but ate the good dishes. It’s not because those dishes are good for him, but because he doesn’t want the Empress to worry about him!” Gu shouxin said.
“How can you be sure?” Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.
“Our boy doesn’t like to eat vegetables either. All children were the same. He actually also had the characteristics of a child, but the Emperor loved to instill in him some things like “son, you have to grow up quickly. Your father is old and can’t take it anymore.” In any case, that’s all. You know what the Emperor often says, right? This child really took it in. Later, something happened to an Empress in the inner palace. The Empress went to deal with it and the Crown Prince stayed with Imperial grandmother. I spoke to him for a while. So, I can be sure that his situation is different from that of you and niannian. He’s really like an ordinary child, but because of Xinxin’s Jade bead, he’s smarter, more flexible, and has a better body.” Gu shouxin said.
“In other words, the reason why the Crown Prince is like this is all because he ate too much Jade Pearl water?” Cai Xiaolian said after thinking for a while.
“That’s right. Think about it, at that time, I felt that no matter if it was the third Prince, the fifth Prince, the seventh Prince, or the ninth Prince, none of them would be able to take on great responsibilities. I don’t want to rebel, and I don’t want to keep looking at other people’s children. Therefore, it would be better to train them from a young age. At that time, in order to protect this child, we could have used a lot of jade beads.” Gu shouxin recalled the time when the Empress was pregnant.
