Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 226 Taboo

"In another month, my aunt's mourning period will be over. Our Haitangguo will be almost three years old. Let mother hold her. Has Haitangguo grown stronger? Why do I feel like she hasn't grown in height or weight at all?"

Concubine Zhen Lu Xinyin held the Sixth Prince and weighed him for a few seconds, then rubbed his forehead affectionately, feeling a little worried.

"Your Highness, this is too much, how could it not grow at all?

Her Majesty sees His Highness every day, and carries Him for a walk every day. His Highness grows little by little, and Her Majesty's strength also increases little by little. They are all used to it, so it is natural that she can hardly feel the changes in His Highness.

How did that saying go, "When you enter a room full of orchids, you don't smell their fragrance"? This is what I heard from the nobles when I was working in Ci'an Palace. I think it's just right here." Gao Yun, who was standing aside, retorted.

Lu Xinyin smiled and nodded.

"Begonia fruit, 'Living with good people is like entering a room full of orchids. If you don't smell the fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed by it... Therefore, a gentleman must be careful about who he surrounds himself with.' This sentence comes from Confucius' Family Sayings, which means that a gentleman should carefully choose the friends and environment he lives with. If he keeps company with vermilion, he will be red; if he keeps company with ink, he will be black."

"Mother, what is a gentleman? Is a gentleman the son of the monarch or the monarch or father?" The Sixth Prince tilted his head and looked at Lu Xinyin with clear eyes.

Lu Xiyin was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"

She didn't understand at once and said, "When His Majesty comes, Haitangguo might as well ask your father. Your father is the monarch, the father of the king. You can tell your mother that she wants you to be a gentleman."

Before Lu Xiyin could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Sixth Prince.

"I understand. Mother said that I should be a gentleman. A gentleman does not mean the son of the emperor, because Haitangguo is the biological son of the emperor. I was born the son of the emperor. I don't need to do anything to become the son of the emperor."

Gao Yun held a cup of warm honey water and handed it over, saying, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince doesn't look like a child who is less than three years old. When I was a child, I also took care of younger brothers and sisters. I have also seen many children of noble ladies in Ci'an Palace, but I have never seen one as smart as Your Highness the Sixth Prince."

The Sixth Prince took the honey water and drank it in big gulps, nodding in approval, looking like a little adult.

Lu Xinyin was worried that he would choke, so when she saw that he wanted to take another sip, she took away the honey water.

The Sixth Prince was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Of course not. Haitangguo is definitely the smartest child in Dayong, mother, don't you think so?" As he said that, he raised his eyes and saw Lu Xinyin smiling at him but not speaking. The Sixth Prince lowered his head and hugged Lu Xinyin, burying his face in her chest, his ears red.

"Yes, my mother's Haitangguo is definitely the smartest child in Dayong. Haitangguo has nothing to be ashamed of. But when you are away from my mother, you have to be more humble, understand?"

"Mother, Haitangguo knows."

"Mother, I saw the palace maids secretly celebrating their birthdays yesterday. It was very lively. Mother, Haitangguo also wanted to celebrate his birthday."

"Are they the palace servants and eunuchs who were imprisoned in the cold palace last time?"

"Your Highness, those blind people are not only disrespectful to their master, but also make trouble from time to time. Why don't you report them and drive them out while your Majesty is here?"

"Complain? I like to settle this account myself. There is still a long way to go. If we drive them out, who will do the work? The masters behind these palace servants hold power outside Chongde Hall. If I complain about these palace servants, even if His Majesty doesn't think I'm a nuisance and clears them out, he won't personally arrange staff for Chongde Hall. I came to Chongde Hall to reflect on my mistakes, not to enjoy myself."

"Haitangguo is a smart child. Don't be willful. Mother has told you that your birthday is on the same day as your grandmother's death anniversary."

"Alas!" The Sixth Prince sighed, pretending to be an adult.
