Nian Shilan pretended to be worried, hurried forward, and leaned forward to stand in front of the children.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The princes are young, but they were just naughty and playful. Your Majesty, please... forgive them."

Yinzhen was furious at this time, and the Third Prince was not young anymore.

What I just said was simply nonsense.

As a prince, he doesn't even have the basic moral qualities that a prince should have. It's really a waste of his and the queen's hard work!

"Forgive, I can forgive him. He should ask the Queen of Jingren Palace who worries about him day and night, ask his biological mother, and ask his own heart whether he can forgive himself!"

The majesty of the emperor is not just talk.

For a moment, no one in the hall dared to speak, and the Third Prince was so frightened that he kept shaking. He could only kneel on the ground and kept talking.

"Father, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

Nian Shilan glanced over, and the Fourth Prince turned his face slightly and quickly accepted her gaze.

He thought for only a moment, then immediately said: "Father, this is all my fault, not my third brother's fault. Today, it was my fault that caused my third brother to miss his studies. My third brother is usually very hardworking and serious. This is all my fault. If you want to blame someone, please blame me."

He spoke earnestly, kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up.

The Third Prince listened, trembling, and turned his shoulder to look over. He met the Fourth Prince's eyes with a face full of gratitude.

"Kid, you are playful all the time, but now you even dare to drag your third brother into it. That's simply nonsense!" Nian Shilan raised his face, his words full of blame.

The Fourth Prince naturally didn't dare to say anything, he just said softly: "Mother, I know I was wrong."

At this point, Nian Shilan looked at Yinzhen and saw that although he was still angry, his expression was much better.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my fault that I spoiled this child. It is my fault that I allowed Hongli to lead Hongshi astray. I should be punished."

She spoke in a charming voice and looked at Yinzhen with her watery eyes.

Yinzhen was unwilling to blame anyone, so he pulled Nian Shilan up with one hand and said, "Okay, stop covering up for him. I don't want to see what happened today again."

The children were so frightened that they dared not look up, and at this moment, they even forgot to reply.

Nian Shilan coughed and said, "Ahem, you haven't thanked the Emperor yet, do you want to be punished again today?"

"No, no, I thank Father Huang and Empress Hua."

The two spoke one after another, and their words were in unison.

Nian Shilan held Yinzhen's arm, laughed dryly, and racked her brains to change the subject, "Why did the emperor suddenly come to my place today? I thought the emperor might not come today."

Yinzhen snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to his disappointing son.

The main reason is that this is not a good place to educate children. This matter was originally just the laziness and mischief between the princes. A few words of scolding in front of others is the best ending.

As for the rest, after closing the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he would naturally educate the Third Prince.

As for the present, he was a little worried and was really tired, so he should relax.

He held Nian Shilan's hand, rubbing her soft white jade fingers in his palm, "You have good intentions, how can I not come."

Nian Shilan said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is still talking about this. I don't know how many times I have sent people there, eagerly hoping that Your Majesty would come, but Your Majesty didn't come. Now, while I was taking a nap, Your Majesty came quietly."

The two left the side hall.

The Third Prince also stood up from the ground. He brushed off the dust on his knees, feeling secretly unlucky and with a bitter look on his face.

"It's so miserable. We won't be able to escape the teacher's scolding tomorrow. I don't know if the emperor will really let us go." As he said this, the third prince looked at his fourth brother with sorrow.

But I saw my fourth brother staring at the door, as if in a trance, with an indescribable expression on his face, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

"Fourth brother..."

"Fourth brother!"

After calling several times, the Fourth Prince finally came to his senses, "Ah, Third Brother. What...what happened?"

"You look so serious, what are you thinking about?" The Third Prince hummed strangely.

The Fourth Prince touched his head and said, "I, I was just thinking..."

He couldn't say what he was thinking.

He was just thinking of what excuse to make, but it turned out that the Third Prince didn't take his action seriously at all.

The Third Prince patted his shoulder and put his arm around him, "You must be worried that the Emperor will scold you, right? Don't worry, you are smart and can memorize. You can memorize most of that thick book. The Emperor will definitely not scold you. But I am really miserable."

The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Third Brother, how about we hurry up and carry some on our backs now?"

As he said this, he took out the book.

The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. If the Empress Dowager knew I was in the Yikun Palace, she would be angry. I have to go back. See you tomorrow, Fourth Brother."

"Third brother, slow down. Do you want to take these things away? They are made for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The Fourth Prince grabbed the things on the table and chased after him.

The Third Prince didn't even turn his head, but raised his hand and waved, "No need, Fourth Brother, keep it for yourself."

……

After dinner, Yinzhen stayed in the Yiku Palace.

The next day, Nian Shilan got up early and helped Yinzhen change his clothes, and reminded him softly.

"Your Majesty, please do not blame the Third and Fourth Princes too much for their laziness and playfulness yesterday. Actually, it is my fault. It was because I did not teach my children well that the Fourth Prince led the Third Prince astray."

"You are too soft-hearted. If I hadn't seen this, it would have been fine. I would have just regarded them as teenagers who were being willful when they occasionally slacked off and played around. But now Hongshi's schoolwork is in a mess, and he doesn't know anything when asked a question. It seems that I can no longer indulge them."

Yinzhen just closed his eyes and enjoyed Nian Shilan helping him dress and dress.

Nian Shilan remembered something and lowered her eyebrows. "I have never been a mother, so I don't know whether this child's studies are important or not. The emperor knows that Shilan doesn't like these flowery things, so she doesn't require Hongli to be strict. She just hopes that this child can be healthy and well."

"It's good that you think so." Yinzhen was not very interested in the Fourth Prince's affairs and just snorted.

Nian Shilan's heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you for a favor."

Having said this, Yinzhen opened his eyes lazily.

"Oh? What's that?"
