As the saying goes, sickness comes like a landslide and disappears like silk. Lin Jiabao's cold gradually recovered, and his whole body became thinner.

Xuanyuan Hancheng's heart ached when he saw that his darling's body had regained a bit of flesh after much difficulty a few days ago, and now, it had returned to its original state.

Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered Shu Ya to prepare medicinal cuisine for Jia Bao every day. In the past two days, Guai Bao had finally gotten better.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, Xuanyuan Hancheng rejected Lin Jiabao's idea of making Lantern Festival. To him, Guai Bao's health was the most important thing.

As long as he could spend the festival with his baby, nothing else mattered.

That night, they had delicious Lantern Festival. The sweet red bean paste filling was Lin Jiabao's favorite.

Lin Jiabao ate six Lantern Festival in one go. He wanted to eat more, but Xuanyuan Hancheng stopped him.

"Although Lantern Festival tastes good, it won't melt easily if you eat too much. It won't be good if it gets indigestion … If Guai Bao likes it, we can ask the kitchen to make more …"

When Lin Jiabao heard this, he could only obediently put down his bowl and chopsticks …

Xuanyuan Hancheng held Guai Bao's hand. "Guai Bao is so good … Come with me … Guai Bao …"

Xuanyuan Hancheng brought Lin Jiabao out of the courtyard. Ever since Lin Jiabao fell ill, he had not been allowed to leave his room.

The weather was cold, and Xuanyuan Hancheng was afraid that Lin Jiabao would catch a cold again. However, he also knew that Guai Bao was a little bored.

Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Jia Bao was looking forward to the Lantern Festival, so he specially prepared a surprise for Guai Bao …

Lin Jiabao was stunned by the scenery in the courtyard. The trees in the courtyard were filled with colorful lanterns of different shapes. There were peony lanterns, lotus lanterns, and other beautiful lanterns. There were also lanterns in the shape of small animals, such as tiger lanterns, rabbit lanterns, cat lanterns, deer lanterns, and so on. All of them were very lifelike.

Lin Jiabao walked around the courtyard with Xuanyuan Hancheng by his side. He stopped in front of every lantern.

"Guai Bao, which one do you like?

Hmm … the rabbit one? "Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Jia Bao with one hand and took a rabbit lantern from a tree branch and handed it to Guai Bao.

Lin Jiabao took the rabbit lantern and held it carefully in his hand. When he was young, he had heard about the Lantern Festival. In operas, there were scholars and beautiful women who fell in love at first sight during the Lantern Festival … Lin Jiabao had never been to the Lantern Festival, but now he understood why the beautiful woman gave her heart to a lantern …

Lin Jiabao looked at Xuanyuan Hancheng with a smile. This was his Crown Prince, his husband, and the home of his heart …

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked greedily at his baby's smiling face. He stroked Guai Bao's small dimples.

He bent down and lowered his head to plant a kiss on that small mouth, repeatedly kissing that soft lips of Bao Bao.

Lin Jiabao closed his eyes and opened his small mouth slightly. Xuanyuan Hancheng's tongue entered and intertwined with Jia Bao's small tongue …

"Guai Bao, let's go back to the house …" Xuanyuan Hancheng said hoarsely. Jia Bao had been sick for the past two days. He didn't even have the privilege of being intimate with Guai Bao …

Lin Jiabao looked at the lanterns hanging on the tree. "What should we do with these lanterns?"

"Guai Bao, if you like them, then let them hang up …" Xuanyuan Hancheng said casually.

"It's a pity to hang up such beautiful lanterns. Let's distribute them to everyone. Kang 'er and Le' er will definitely like them too," Lin Jiabao said after thinking for a while.

Xuanyuan Hancheng called the Yuan Fu over. He pointed at the two peony and lotus lanterns and said, "Send these two lanterns over …"

"Yes." The Yuan Fu immediately ordered his subordinate eunuchs to send them over.

Lin Jiabao continued, "Also, give some to Shu Ya, Shu Qin, and Yuan Fu. Oh right, and also to Yuan Qing. Is he feeling better now?"

"This humble one thanks Young Master Lin for your reward. I also thank you on behalf of Yuan Qing. I've been thinking about him … Yuan Qing is recovering well. He will be able to return to Young Master Lin's side in a few days."

Yuan Qing was really lucky. Although he was injured in such a dangerous situation, his vitals weren't injured. He would be able to jump around again after a few days of rest.

Lin Jiabao was relieved when he heard that Yuan Qing was recovering well.

When Madam Yu received the lantern from the young eunuch, she hurriedly gave him a reward.

"Thank you for your trouble …"

The Yu Clan held up the lotus lantern and showed it to An 'er. "An' er, look … your father still cares about you. The next time you see him, you must be smart and sweet, okay?"

"Yes." An 'er nodded obediently as she touched the exquisite lantern.

The Song Clan also received the lantern and handed it to Kang 'er so that she could carry it.

"Look … this peony lantern is so pretty. Kang 'er, be careful when you carry it. Don't light it up …"

The Song Clan said as he gestured to Kang 'er's wet nurse, "Keep an eye on it …"

Kang 'er ran around the room with the beautiful peony lantern in her hand. She seemed to be very fond of it.

Kang 'er's wet nurse followed behind Kang' er and said nervously, "Young Mistress … run slowly … be careful not to fall …" Kang 'er didn't listen to her wet nurse and continued to run around the room. She even giggled from time to time.

Kang 'er's wet nurse followed behind Kang' er and coaxed her, "Young Mistress, look. This lantern is so pretty. It won't be pretty if you break it.

Young Mistress, stop running … Young Mistress, stop and look at this lantern. It's so pretty … I'm guessing that this peony lantern must be the most beautiful one in Pingle Park. "

"Pingle Park?

A monster's courtyard! "

Kang 'er stopped running. Suddenly, she threw the lantern on the ground in fear and anger. The candles in the lantern immediately lit up and burned.

The wet nurse quickly went forward to extinguish the fire. The Song Clan heard the commotion and immediately came over.

"What's going on? Why is it burning?

Kang 'er … didn't I tell you to be careful?

This is a lantern sent by the crown prince … "

The Song Clan was a little angry and said to the wet nurse, "Didn't I tell you to look after Kang 'er?"

"Master, this old servant has been following Young Mistress. I don't know why Young Mistress suddenly threw the lantern." The wet nurse said, feeling wronged.

"It's from a monster's courtyard. I don't want it!" Kang 'er said loudly.

"What monster?

Kang 'er, don't talk nonsense. "The Song Clan reprimanded Kang' er.

Kang 'er struggled. "It's from a monster's courtyard. The monster pestered Father and didn't come to see Kang' er.

The monster killed … "The Song Clan covered her daughter's mouth and asked sternly," Kang 'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Kang' er, who told you these things? "

"How do you usually follow Kang 'er?

Who told her these things? "The Song Clan looked coldly at Kang 'er's wet nurse. Kang' er's wet nurse knelt down and cried for mercy.

"Master, this old servant really didn't say anything. You can't wrong this old servant …"

The Song Clan looked at her tears and snot and felt disgusted.

This wet nurse couldn't stay by Kang 'er's side anymore.

Kang 'er didn't know where she heard this nonsense from. If this was heard by the crown prince or Xiao Shi Lin, it would be terrible …

Although the Song Clan looked honest and slow, she wasn't stupid. She knew how to keep a low profile.

She knew how to protect herself. She was the crown prince's first woman and also the first to bear his child.

Otherwise, how could she live peacefully in the crown prince's courtyard and never become a threat in the eyes of the crown prince's other women?

Kang 'er struggled again and ran into the inner room.

The Song Clan followed closely and said in Kang 'er's ear, "Kang' er, be good. In the future, you can't talk about monsters, okay?

Especially in front of your father, the crown prince, you can't say these things, okay? "

Xiao Shi Lin was in the limelight now. Although she looked innocent, she hid her scheming.

She was able to gain the crown prince's favor in such a short time. She got rid of Xu Xueying and now she had the Empress as her backer.

She didn't dare to provoke her … The Song Clan repeatedly emphasized in her daughter's ear. She only stopped nagging when Kang 'er agreed.

On the second day of the second month, an imperial edict shocked the entire crown prince's Eastern Palace.

Everyone in Pingle Park knelt down to receive the edict. The imperial edict was read by Zhao Yong, who was by the emperor's side.

By the will of the heavens, the emperor decrees: Xiao Shi Lin Lin Anzhu, the crown prince's personal attendant, is virtuous and cautious, diligent and gentle, and gentle in nature.

Because of her meritorious service in saving the Empress, she is specially conferred the title of crown prince and Vice Prince.

Lin Jiabao stepped forward to thank the emperor and received the imperial edict. All the palace servants in Pingle Park paid their respects to Xiao Shi Lin … Oh, no … Vice Prince Lin.

Xuanyuan Hancheng also asked Mama Qiu to open the treasury and reward all the palace servants in Pingle Park.

Pingle Park was lively and jubilant. Everyone felt extremely lucky and happy to be able to work in Pingle Park and have Vice Prince Lin as their master.

When the Yu Clan heard that Lin Jiabao was conferred the title of Vice Prince, she was so angry that she smashed her favorite peach blossom porcelain vase. "Why is he so lucky?!"

She was the woman who had given birth to a prince for the crown prince. That Shun 'er was young and didn't have any children … Why is he …

The palace maids of the Yu Clan didn't dare to say anything. They silently cleaned up the broken vase on the ground, thinking that it would be great if they could work in Pingle Park …

When the Song Clan heard the news, she wasn't as excited as the Yu Clan.

Instead, she used the excuse that the wet nurse by Kang 'er's side wasn't feeling well and had Mama Qiu replace the wet nurse.

She also became stricter on Kang 'er's education …

The next morning after receiving the imperial edict, Xuanyuan Hancheng brought Jia Bao to pay respects to Empress Empress.

Empress was very happy to see the crown prince bring Jia Bao over. "Jia Bao, come over and let me take a look …"

Empress carefully looked at Jia Bao's thin little face and said, "You've lost so much weight?

Your complexion looks good.

Have you used all the tonics that I had Mama Qiu send over? "

"Jia Bao thanks Empress Empress for the tonics. Jia Bao uses them every day …" Lin Jiabao had been coaxed by Xuanyuan Hancheng to drink a lot of nourishing soups and water for the past few days. His complexion was much better now.

Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that Imperial Mother's attitude towards Lin Jiabao was amiable and amiable, and he was very happy in his heart. His obedient baby was really loved by everyone. In the future, there shouldn't be too much resistance from Imperial Mother's side.

"Jia Bao, you're still young. You have to know that it's taboo to injure your foundation when you're young. You have to take care of your illness this time.

Jia Bao, if you take care of your foundation now, you'll be able to give birth to a child for the crown prince in the future … "Empress said to Lin Jiabao. Although Lin Jiabao was a twin and had difficulties giving birth, Empress still hoped that Lin Jiabao could give birth to a child for the crown prince.

"Yes." Lin Jiabao replied somewhat shyly.

After that, Empress invited the crown prince and Jia Bao to eat lunch together.

In the following days, Lin Jiabao went to pay respects to Empress every day as usual.

The concubines in the imperial harem clearly felt that Empress's attitude towards Vice Prince Lin was very different.

Everyone understood that this Vice Prince Lin was now a popular person in front of Empress, so they were even closer to Lin Jiabao to curry favor.

The court also began to pay attention to Lin Jiabao as the crown prince and Vice Prince. This was the crown prince's first Vice Prince, and he was also indebted to Empress.

It was a good thing that this Vice Prince's background wasn't enough, and he was also a Shun 'er.

Otherwise, his future would be limitless …

In the sixth year and second month of Yuntai, Emperor Akinori Zhaoshen sent out two imperial decrees.

He condemned Prince Li and his Xue Clan.

The decrees followed the will of the heavens, and the Emperor decreed: Prince Li has been executed for his rebellion, and Prince Li's entire family will be executed.

The Xue Clan has committed treason and assisted Prince Li in his attempt to usurp the throne. They will be punished by the heavens and earth, and their entire family will be executed.

Imperial decree.

For a time, all the clans that were related to the Xue family came forward to beg for forgiveness, and cut off all ties with the Xue family.

Everyone kicks a man who is down. Many clans that were close to the Xue family were punished.

The Xue family's power was uprooted, and the once powerful Xue family was completely destroyed …

Afterwards, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace released news that the Crown Princess Xue Caiyu had passed away due to illness. This news didn't cause too much of a stir.

Xuanyuan Hancheng requested that the Crown Princess Xue Clan be the daughter of a guilty official, so she didn't have the right to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. He requested that she be buried elsewhere, and the Emperor approved.

All the officials understood that the Crown Prince didn't want this Xue Clan to occupy the position of his first wife.

Lin Jiabao was now the highest-ranking person in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. Xuanyuan Hancheng handed over the management of the Eastern Palace to Lin Jiabao, and Mama Qiu assisted him from the side.

Lin Jiabao was very serious about the tasks the Crown Prince gave him, and he worked hard to learn from Mama Qiu.

Even though he was still a little immature, he slowly became more and more capable as time went by …
