Fireworks bloomed one by one in the night sky, dazzling and resplendent for a moment before disappearing. (Please remember our website) Amidst the fluttering snowflakes, Jiang Wan and Ji Yan stood at the back of the crowd, she raised her hand to shield the snowflakes falling on her face, turning her head to look for shelter. At this time, she heard people in front whispering: "It's snowing, everyone make way, the masters are going to enter the pavilion to avoid the snow."

  Jiang Wanru immediately reached out and pulled Jiyan away from the center, and the crowd suddenly parted to make way for a large path. The elderly queen, dressed in a brown long-haired cloak with a dignified and kind expression, was supported by the queen who wore a black-and-white fur cloak and smiled like spring breeze, and they walked out first. The wife of the crown prince, wearing a pure white fur cloak, and Liang Xuan's wife, wearing a gray fur cloak, also followed closely behind them, their bodies swaying as they gazed at each other with smiling faces.

  Jiang Wanru had already seen the pavilion path in the distance, and she followed the crowd with Ji Yan to retreat there. The pavilion path was long and deep, and several older women from the clan surrounded the old princess, smiling and praising the rare luster of the fur on her cloak. The old princess's face was filled with comfort, and she stretched out her hand to gently stroke the fur, laughing and saying: "This is a hunting trophy personally shot by my third grandson, he made it into a cloak and sent it to pay his respects to me."

  A few women's eyes sparkled, and one of them smiled and said: "I just took a closer look at the fur cloak on the queen, it's this year's new style, and the fur is also rarely good." The old queen heard and laughed, patted her hand lightly and said: "That was also a gift from my third grandson to his mother.

  "He and his mother each gave us a windbreaker, but he specifically asked us to wear them when it snows, saying he was afraid we would get cold. He is filial, and as elders wearing them also feels warm."

  The women have a natural keenness for clothes, and the ladies measured with their eyes the cloaks on the bodies of Shi Zai's wife and Lian Xuan's wife. Among them, a woman tentatively asked: "Why do I think that Shi Zai's wife and the second lady's cloaks are also this year's new style?" Old Wang heard this and immediately became enthusiastic, saying: "That is also a gift from San Sun to his two sisters-in-law. His two sisters-in-law usually treat him with kindness, it's hard for him to have such a careless personality, but he still remembers to give his two sisters-in-law a cloak."

  The old queen's mouth was saying slightly disdainful words, but her eyes were full of proud smiles. The women quickly followed with praise for Lianhao's ability and knowing how to cater to the old queen's preferences, and immediately asked: "Will the third master accompany the emperor on a hunting trip this year? He must have hunted many good furs." The old queen always understood her own position, she smiled and said: "He doesn't have that honor to accompany the emperor on a hunting trip, he is just one of the people in the team, I heard that when they were guarding the perimeter, each and every one of them was very diligent.

  The Emperor, seeing that they were doing their duty, rewarded them by allowing those who had been relieved of their posts to participate in the hunt. This year's luck was quite good, and a total of five game animals were hunted. The animal meat was distributed among the colleagues in the team, and the hides were brought back. He still has a kind heart, found that the hides were made into five cloaks by his family. He had been hiding this from us until he brought the five cloaks to me, I thought he had wasted money buying them outside, thinking of helping him persuade his mother a few words, who knew he had already invited someone to invite his mother over to take a look together.

  Old Wang's wife spoke, and the people listening beside her looked at Queen Wang's expression. Seeing her smile and nod in response, she said: "That day, I saw that the finished cloak was thinking that San'er was old enough, but still so inexperienced, my heart was angry. I saw Mother's difficult expression and thought of Mother usually spoiling him, not wanting to hurt Mother's heart, could only hold back and not get angry. Who knew that after hearing him say it was his own hunting, thinking of the cold weather, making a new style outside, a ball of filial piety sent to Grandmother and Mother.

  At that moment, I was so moved that my tears almost fell. Our whole family has loved him for over a decade, and no one expected him to repay us. As long as he's safe, that's all that matters. He's always been less steady than his brothers, often getting into trouble outside and having his two brothers cover for him in front of us. I never thought I'd receive a gift hunted by his own hands." The queen said, dabbing at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. The old queen shook her head slightly on the side, telling the women: "That day, when our third grandson finished speaking, his mother burst into tears, scaring the child so much that he hurried to hug his mother and say 'I won't dare do it again.'"

  The old queen said with a smile, looking at the queen with affectionate eyes. Several women of the same age as the old queen looked at each other and nodded, saying: "Your Majesty, these are tears of joy." The women thought to themselves that since the birth of the third prince, the relationship between the two had become even better, from a superficial closeness to a genuine affection. The queen said with some embarrassment: "I'm not used to this, after hearing him say it, I don't dare anymore," and suddenly burst out laughing, saying to him: "Such gifts, I'll have to accept again in the future." The people around them couldn't help but laugh at these words.

  The women looked at the four people inside, then turned to look at Jiang Wanruo, who was not far away and wearing a brocade robe. They smiled knowingly and withdrew their gaze, exchanging unspoken glances with each other. An old woman chuckled and joked: "We've seen four of the five beautiful cloaks, I wonder what the fifth one looks like? It's said that Third Master is very filial to Old Madame Wang, so she must have the last one. What kind of fur and style is it? Can't Old Madame Wang tell us about it? That way, we won't have to guess in our hearts."

  The old queen laughed at this and said to the women, "This time everyone guessed wrong. Your third master is usually the most filial to me, but in fact he is the most filial to his mother. That piece of clothing was kept by her after she saw it, with great pleasure in her eyes, and given to his maternal grandmother as a gift for the New Year's festival." The crowd listened to this joking remark and those who understood didn't respond. The queen laughed and said, "This is also because my mother treated me well, so I dared to be reckless and snatch clothes from my mother's hands in front of her."

  The old queen stretched out her hand and patted the queen's forehead several times in mid-air, seeing the queen smiling and dodging to cover her forehead. Only then did she withdraw her hand, laughing as she said to the women surrounding her: "Look, look, she always says I've spoiled the three grandsons rotten, but with a mother as mischievous as this, the three grandsons are getting more and more steady - that's all thanks to me! I think it's actually the other way around, I'm the one who's been spoiled by her. It's only right for a filial daughter-in-law like her to be obedient to her mother-in-law, but she still teases me about it." The two women chatted and laughed together, earning everyone's unanimous praise: "The old queen and the queen are closer than real mothers and daughters - we can only look on with envy!"

  Jiang Wanru stood not far from them, naturally hearing these words clearly, and also saw the fur-lined cloaks on Old Princess Wang and Princess Wang, which showed a bright luster under the night sky. The wife of the Crown Prince and the second wife were on the side, naturally hearing those words, they still leaned in to talk, occasionally when the fireworks went up, the two simultaneously looked up at the sky, lowered their heads and smiled and spoke a few words. In the empty space, the Crown Prince led his two younger brothers to direct the young servants to light the fireworks, the three brothers had always been closer than usual noble families' brothers.

  Next to the empty land, Old Master Wang and Master Wang stood side by side, smiling as they looked at the three people in the empty land. Old Master Wang said in a low voice to Master Wang, "The fraternal love of these three brothers is truly heartwarming. On the day the young master was born, we decided on that great matter. Now it seems we did the right thing. Although the young master's temperament is gentle, he has a strong sense of responsibility and principle. I indeed didn't choose the wrong person. Looking at other families, how many brothers fight openly and secretly for that position, turning brothers who could have relied on each other into sworn enemies not even as good as outsiders."

  The king nodded repeatedly as he listened. On the day the crown prince was born, even his temperament and appearance were unclear, it was Old King who made the decision to step down from the throne and determine his identity as the crown prince. The king could not directly oppose his father's decision. However, in that year, he had been anxiously watching the crown prince grow up, waiting for him to learn how to walk and speak, and when he heard him say his first words, the king's heart finally fell from high above to reality.

  Old Master Wang looked at the king and stroked his beard, saying: "The eldest son of the prince, I think it's not bad after considering it. His status should be determined as soon as possible, so that the brothers won't be affected by external factors." The king heard Old Master Wang's words and stared at him with wide eyes, saying: "Father, when is it suitable for me to present a memorial to the emperor to abdicate?" Old Master Wang glared at him in anger, speaking in a low voice: "Foolish, I stepped down back then because the previous emperor was always ill, and the princes were all unwell."

  "If I didn't know when to quit and stayed on the throne for too long, our whole family would eventually become a thorn in the eyes of the imperial family. Look, after I stepped down, the previous emperor allowed the princes to come and go from our house without any qualms about them being close with the crown prince. You are different now, the current emperor is young and vigorous, it's his time to soar like an eagle. Your calm and steady temperament can keep the palace stable. The crown prince has always been close to the emperor, as long as he doesn't hold the power of the head of the household in his hands, they will remain close. When his eldest son grows up, if their good relationship with the emperor remains unchanged, you will be able to keep this throne in your hands."

  The king listened to the old king's words, as if he was entrusting his last will, with a pale complexion and looking at the old king. He looked at him with a shocked and frightened expression, calling out in a low voice: "Father, I will listen to your words and determine the position of the eldest son. I won't easily step down, I'll stabilize things, so don't say that again, it's hard for me to hear." The old king shook his head slightly and looked at him, saying: "Then I'll just say one more thing, Your Majesty is wise, you can't speak lightly of abdication. It's just that the previous emperors, after middle age, were often ill, like him too, so you should prepare to step down immediately."

  Old Master Wang looked at the nodding Master Wang and sighed softly, saying: "Alas, I was too gentle with you, and you were the same with the young master. Fortunately, you were born in peaceful times. As long as our family members don't act recklessly, the royal mansion won't easily collapse. The nature of this wooden head is unknown to whom it resembles. These days, I've been thinking about it, and I only thought of the previous two generations. There was an ancestor in our family who had a similar temperament. At first glance, he seemed reckless and unscrupulous, but actually, his actions were very methodical. From now on, let him handle his own affairs. People with this kind of temperament, being pampered by us to the point of arrogance, once they make up their minds about something, they will absolutely not change."

  "Alas, one's children and grandchildren have their own blessings, this child is a worry."
