“So, it’s not good to get close to anyone now.”

“I understand.

“By the way, according to Wanning, the Emperor wants to bring the people in the harem to the imperial manor to avoid the summer. Does he also have the intention of avoiding crowning a prince?”

“Maybe. A monarch’s heart is hard to predict. We just have to do our job and live our lives well.”

After that, as expected, the number of invitations received was much higher than before. If there were nothing to do, they would even find an excuse to hold a flower banquet or something.

When Zhou Ying saw this, she immediately brought the three children to the hot spring manor.

It was not until the Emperor returned to the capital that Zhou Ying returned to the capital. However, she did not stay for long. Instead, she took the two children back and forth in various ways, busy with the autumn harvest.

At the end of the year, He Jiahui gave birth to a son.

The call for a crown prince was getting louder and louder. Gu Wanning naturally received the news as well.

When Zhou Ying came to deliver the New Year’s gift, she pulled her into the bedroom and asked, “Does Sister-in-law know about the request for a crown prince?”

“I do. There was movement half a year ago.”

“What do you and my cousin think about it?”

“How should I put it? There are pros and cons.

“The good thing was that if the Crown Prince’s position was taken over early, he would definitely be able to nurture a group of his people. If there were no accidents, he would be able to ascend the throne rightfully.

“Of course, this is also a disadvantage. The Emperor is in his prime. Even if another forty years passed, the Emperor would only be in his sixties.

“If he lived longer, it might be even longer.

“Who would want their throne to be constantly in the eyes of his successor?

“Once there is fear, the Crown Prince will be suppressed. If the Crown Prince had a good temperament, it would be best.

“However, no matter how good one’s temperament was, it was impossible for him to be suppressed for more than ten years or even decades.

“If any people had terrible intentions to sow discord, the Crown Prince would not have ended well.

“Therefore, it’s better to wait until they’re of age and compete with their abilities.”

“So, you don’t agree with the crown prince being appointed now.”

“Yes, there’s no need. Being a crown prince sounds nice, but he’s sometimes a living target for people.

“So in the end, it still depends on the Emperor’s intentions. Don’t be too enthusiastic.”

Gu Wanning nodded and did not say anything else, but she was shocked by the meaning behind her words.

Yes, the Emperor is in his prime. If possible, living for forty years is not a problem.

Forty years. The First Prince would be in his forties by then. Being the Crown Prince for the rest of his life would make anyone impatient.

It seemed that being the Crown Prince was not that easy.

The Emperor naturally knew that Zhou Ying had entered the palace. So, after dinner, he specifically asked, “Wanning, the ministers have submitted a memorial asking me to appoint a Crown Prince. What do you think about this?”

First, he wanted to hear her thoughts. Secondly, he wanted to understand Gu Chengrui and the others’ true thoughts.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the couple, but the benefits involved were too great, so he had to be cautious.

Gu Wanning’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Luckily, she had asked her sister-in-law for her opinion. Otherwise, she really did not know what to say.

“Hmm, do you want to hear the truth or lies, Your Majesty?”

“Of course, the truth?”

“I feel that it’s better to wait a little longer. We’ll talk about it when they’re older. Right now, all of them are only focused on eating and playing.”

“Don’t you want the First Prince to become the Crown Prince?”

“I’m afraid that when he grows up, he will not have the ability and will betray your trust.

“Also, you are in the prime of your life. If you are healthy, you can be the Emperor for another 60 years. What’s the hurry?”
