He looked at his son who was chatting with the ministers seriously.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong looked at each other and saw a deep smile in each other's eyes.
This kid is just six years old. He is as old-fashioned as an old scholar. Who does he look like?
Li Zongheng sent away several ministers and bowed his hands to Li Yunze and Ye Yutong. "Father and mother, please take your time and stroll around. I will go back and do the homework assigned by my husband."
Ye Yutong quickly pulled him and said with a smile: "Heng'er, can you do your homework later? Now accompany your mother to the garden to pick some vegetables. My father and mother will prepare delicious food for you in the evening."
Speaking of delicious food, Li Zongheng looks like a child. He looked at her with bright eyes and gently pulled her sleeves.
Ye Yutong smiled and leaned down. Li Zongheng put his small hands beside her ears and said in a low voice:
"Mother, I want to eat the big crabs from the gods, and I also want to watch cartoons. Can you and my father take me in tonight?"
Ye Yutong smiled and nodded, imitating him and whispering: "Okay, then you have to sleep with us tonight."
Li Zongheng looked at them both in embarrassment.
When he was four years old, he stopped sleeping with his father, the emperor, and his mother.
Now he sleeps in a room by himself, but he really wants to watch cartoons.
After thinking for a while, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Yutong held back a smile and touched his head, "Then go and do your homework first. Later, my mother will cook your favorite hairy crabs, and then watch cartoons in the evening."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
He cupped his hands towards Li Yunze who was standing aside and said, "Father, I have gone there."
Li Yunze said gently: "Okay, slow down."
The couple watched their son and the maids and guards return to the courtyard, and then slowly walked towards the garden.
Ye Yutong asked with a smile: "Ping An, last time Master Wuchen came to the palace, he said that you were so old-fashioned when you were a child, and that Heng'er has almost the same personality as you."
She squeezed Li Yunze's hand in a funny way and teased: "Were you so cute when you were a child?"
Li Yunze turned to look at her, imitating his son's tone and said seriously: "Yes, your husband-in-law was so cute when he was a child."
"Hahahahaha..." Ye Yutong leaned into his arms and laughed.
Li Yunze also raised the corners of his lips.
"Tongtong, next year I plan to ask my eldest brother to send Heng'er to Chaoyang to stay for a while, and then go to Mantang's place, as well as Beidi and Northwest, to let him get familiar with it."
Ye Yutong frowned, "It's too early. Heng'er will only be seven next year. I originally wanted to wait until he turns ten before taking him around."
Li Yunze said: "Tongtong, it's getting late. He will live in each place for half a year, and then return to the palace to live for a while. Let him see the local customs and get to know the borders of Yunchao Kingdom. I am going to let him start at the age of sixteen. Ascend to the throne.”
Ye Yutong was very surprised after hearing this, "You asked Heng'er to ascend the throne at the age of sixteen, but what about you? You were only in your thirties at that time, and you were in your prime. Did you start to take care of yourself in old age?"
Li Yunze held her in his arms, "Tongtong, in the past few years you followed me in the wars and suffered a lot. Now you are confined in this palm-sized palace and cannot go anywhere.
So I want to retire early, walk around with you, and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. If I miss my son, we will come back and stay for a while. "
Although Ye Yutong yearned for what he said.
But she was a little reluctant to leave her teenage son alone in the capital, dealing with those difficult old foxes in the court.
Li Yunze knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our son is not as weak as you think.
Besides, aren’t there eldest brother, second brother, Dayuan, Zhang Erqian and the others? With a few of them here, who among the ministers in the court would dare to be so presumptuous? "
Ye Yutong was convinced by him, touched his chin and giggled.
She was now looking forward to the days when her son would succeed to the throne, and she and Ping An would go out and live happily.
"By the way, Heng'er is six years old this year. When are we going to have our second child?"
Ye Yutong suddenly remembered that their mission was not completed yet.
In the past few years, many ministers in the court have advised Ping An to adopt a concubine and spread the wings of the royal family, and also hinted that she should be more generous.
It made the two of them very annoyed. Last year, Ping An got angry in the court, and those people restrained themselves a little, but they started to bring it up again some time ago.
The reason why they haven't had a second child in the past few years is that they think Heng'er is too young.
I am also afraid that the two children are too close in age. What if the second child is a boy and he is ambitious, and he competes with his brother for the throne?
They are all our own flesh and blood, how can we watch them kill each other?
So after discussing it, the two decided to wait until their son was older to have a second child.
By the time the second child was sensible, the eldest brother had already secured his throne.
If the second child still has other ideas after this, the only way is to take him to the space and never let him come out.
Li Yunze hesitated for a while before saying: "Tongtong, why don't we just give up? If there is another one who fails to live up to expectations, then we both will be pissed to death by him."
"But isn't one child too few? We are not an ordinary family."
Ye Yutong held his hand and said, "Ping An, let's have another child. Then we will teach him well. I believe our child will not do things like brothers fighting against each other."
Li Yunze looked at her and smiled gently, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
