Chapter 124 Parenting and Children

The third prince Qin Mingjin and the fourth prince Qin Mingyin were both born in February of the sixth year, but one was at the beginning of the month and the other was at the end of the month.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since his second birthday. He has reached the age where he can run and jump. He is full of energy and very noisy.

The royal heirs in the palace always seem to mature precociously, just like the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, who was born in October of the fourth year of Jingzheng. He is just over three years old and not yet four years old. He is very serious and well-behaved.

Meng Xinghe didn't want to comment on whether the eldest prince Qin Mingyu was brought up well or badly by his adoptive mother Shi Qingzhang. She had no exposure to children's education, did not understand parent-child relationships, and did not understand feudal society. She had to rely on herself to figure out everything and teach her children.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Yi, even the Emperor, and many ladies from other courts who had met the eldest prince Qin Mingyu had all praised Shi Liangren of Lanlin Palace in public, saying that she had taught the eldest prince very well, that the eldest prince was well-mannered and sensible, worthy of being the eldest son of His Majesty, and that although he was young, he had already begun to show the bearing of an elder brother.

Whether it is sincere or false is not the point for now.

In the original plot, Liu Yiren, who was still alive, was not able to be made a concubine, let alone posthumously named a noble concubine. Liu Yiren was only promoted to a noble concubine. The eldest prince, who was raised by Noble Concubine Rou herself, was not very smart and was simple-minded. Although he was reckless, he was not as dull as he is now.

Moreover, no matter how close the relationship between children and their father is, it should not be a situation where one side avoids and the other side ignores, or both sides become alienated.

Even if the eldest prince did not intentionally distance himself, in Meng Xinghe's opinion, Qin Zhi must be blamed for this.

No matter how much the eldest prince longed for a father, how could he get close to his father who not only lived far away but also seldom visited him?

Regardless of whether Shi Qingzhang did it for the eldest prince or not, she must have tried her best.

Qin Zhi often went to the Pepper Palace, and Shi Qingzhang often took the eldest prince there to please the queen and show his face in front of Qin Zhi. However, such roundabout tactics, coupled with Shi Qingzhang's cautious and respectful, even humble attitude towards Qin Zhi, would also affect the eldest prince's attitude towards his father.

There is too much fear, but not enough closeness.

In the current imperial palace, whether Meng Xinghe's background can be compared with Yan Shu'er and Shi Qingzhang, who were born as palace maids, is a matter of opinion. The fourth prince Qin Mingyun has obviously completely lost at the starting line in terms of his mother's family.

If you need to compete for favor, you have to compete.

Even a salted fish would want to turn over and let the other side get some sun.

There are some things that you can do without, but you can’t live without them.

Regardless of whether the Fourth Prince wants to fight for it in the future, he has no bargaining chips if he cannot fight. As a mother, Meng Xinghe thinks she must lay the foundation for this right of choice.

My mother's family has become a burden, I can't even lose the favor of my father.

If the mountains don't come, I'll go to them, and I'll go to the mountains.

It is impossible for father and son to be so close when they grow up, so we should build a good relationship with our father, who is both a king and a father, while we are still young.

After the Fourth Prince Qin Mingyun was able to stand up unsteadily, Meng Xinghe would often carry him to visit Qin Zhi. Every time the Fourth Prince acquired a new skill, she would carry him to Qin Zhi to perform, so that Qin Zhi could have a greater sense of participation in the Fourth Prince's growth. The relationship was built on good relationships, and only the crying child gets the candy.

If you sit in your own palace and wait for a long time, to put it in an exaggerated way, the king or father who is busy with all kinds of affairs will probably forget who you are.

The young children often came to express their love and respect for their father. When Qin Zhi would suddenly remember the cuteness of the Fourth Prince by chance or in his spare time and come to visit him, Meng Xinghe's goal would be achieved.

"Aunt Huaixu, come and take a look at this painting. It's really childlike and cute. Where do you think I should hang it?

Mingyun, come and take a look, do you like it?"

Meng Xinghe was sitting on a mat on the ground. He saw Qin Mingyun sitting four or five steps away with a little tiger doll in her hand. Her attention was completely attracted by the painting in her hand and she was staring at it intently.

Before he could make any move, Meng Xinghe quickly rolled up the scroll, raised his hands high, and with a smile, used his body to block Qin Mingyun who was rushing towards him, preventing him from falling to the ground. He also successfully avoided the little claws of the Fourth Prince Qin Mingyun.

If a child of this age were to grab the painting, it would shatter into pieces.

Meng Xinghe originally thought that ancient paintings were either landscapes or flowers and birds. She did not have the artistic talent to appreciate those delicate or magnificent paintings. She preferred to look at real landscapes and flowers and birds. However, this painting of a cute and chubby little tiger won her heart.

Very nice drawing, so cute.

like.

Is this the little prince's ration? The supply in this palace is really humane!

"Aunt Huaixu, please quickly take Mingyun away so I can see if the other paintings are good looking."

Qin Mingyun did not cry and make a fuss to force Meng Xinghe to give him the painting. Instead, he chose to do it himself. He stepped directly on Meng Xinghe's thigh with his bare chubby little feet and tried to climb up. He grabbed Meng Xinghe's hair with one hand and stretched out his other hand to grab the painting that Meng Xinghe was holding above his head.

Huai Xu hurried forward and hugged the Fourth Prince, held his hands, and coaxed and pried them apart, finally rescuing Meng Xinghe from his little clutches.

Seeing that Huai Xu had completely subdued Qin Mingyun, Meng Xinghe quickly put the painting aside, raised his hands, smoothed his messy hair, and tucked the hanging hair behind his ears.

"That's too much, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you can rob, but how can you pull my mother's hair?

My son is rebellious and has broken my heart. My scalp hurts so much. Is my hair going to fall out? Woo woo woo woo."

Meng Xinghe was worried that Qin Mingyun would ignore her and run to get the painting. She pretended to kick the painting far away. She covered her eyes with one hand and began to cry.

The fourth prince Qin Mingyun struggled to get out of Huai Xu's arms. Huai Xu saw that Meng Xinghe had finished cleaning up and was about to start teasing the child again, so he immediately let the fourth prince go.

Qin Mingyun stumbled forward, hugged Meng Xinghe, puffed out her cheeks, patted Meng Xinghe's back soothingly, and said, "Don't cry, mother," while blowing air on Meng Xinghe's drooping head.

"You can't do this again in the future. It's not like Mother doesn't want to give you the paintings. If you promise Mother that you won't tear them up for fun, Mother will give you all the paintings and hang them in your back hall, okay?"

"Okay." Qin Mingyun's eyes sparkled.

Seeing that Qin Mingyun agreed, Meng Xinghe held him in his arms, and the mother and son talked to each other, and unfolded the rest of the paintings. The paintings were all of vivid and cute fat tiger cubs in various poses and movements.
