As Fang Yun's first child, it was quite difficult. There was no doubt that Fang Yun loved the fourth prince very much.

This has nothing to do with gender. It is because the fourth prince was so weak when he was born that the imperial doctor said that he must be raised to be ten years old before he can grow up safely.

There is such a saying, which mother who loves her children would not take care of her carefully?
Fang Yun was not afraid of others saying that she had raised her children delicately. She just wanted the fourth prince to grow up safely.

Therefore, the fourth prince has been taken care of extremely carefully since he was born. It is completely appropriate to describe it as holding it in your hand for fear of falling off, and holding it in your mouth for fear of melting.

The imperial physician came to diagnose Ping'an Pulse twice a day, morning and evening, and the wet nurses and other people who served the fourth prince were almost half-experts in pediatrics.

Of course, Fang Yun knew that it was hard to take care of a frail child like the fourth prince, so he was very generous to those who served him, and gave him many rewards and subsidies. And because she was favored, the people below him did not dare to be careless, so in the past few years With such meticulous care every day, the fourth prince was no different from an ordinary healthy child by the time he was five or six years old.

Even Dr. Zeng lamented that Fang Yun had indeed put 100% of his efforts into the fourth prince.

Outsiders can see his intentions, and the fourth prince himself naturally knows how well his mother and concubine treats him.

Therefore, the fourth prince has loved Fang Yun since he was a child and was filial to Fang Yun.

This kind of filial piety was especially reflected after the fourth prince began to study for enlightenment. With the guidance of his master, he learned the rules, etiquette, benevolence and filial piety, and became more and more sensible.

In particular, Fang Yun made a clear distinction between taking care of his children's health and educating them.

She felt sorry for the Fourth Prince, but feeling sorry for him was not doting on him, so she was not lenient at all when it came to educating him.

When the fourth prince teased his master, Pei Yao didn't think it was a big deal, but Fang Yun changed his usual gentle attitude and gave the fourth prince a hard education.

If you love your children, you can't raise them crookedly. This is what Fang Yun has always thought in his heart.

In fact, she was right to teach him this way. The fourth prince grew up extremely well.

He respects his elders, is friendly to his brothers, and is diligent and excellent in his homework.

But even though the fourth prince was so outstanding, Fang Yun really never thought of letting him compete for the crown prince's position from the beginning.

First, Fang Yun was worried that the fourth prince was in poor health and would not be able to withstand all kinds of twists and turns. She accompanied Pei Yao through the battle for the rightful son, and she knew all too well the hardships along the way.

Just be an idle prince and have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. What's wrong with that?

Furthermore, after seeing too many overt and covert fights among the women in Pei Yao's harem, and the loss of the emperor's heir, Fang Yun really didn't want his son to live in such an environment in the future, without peace.

Besides, the fourth prince is neither heir nor eldest son, so it is not easy to fight at all.

At that time, nothing had happened to the fifth prince, and the relationship between the queen and Fang Yun was harmonious. Fang Yun had thought that as long as the fifth prince was a good boy and his legitimate son ascended the throne, there would be nothing wrong with it.

As long as the fourth prince and her can be accommodated, she will be stable for the rest of her life.

But nothing in the world can go as planned.

All the changes that followed gradually pushed the fourth prince to the position of prince.

At this time, even if Fang Yun knew that being a prince had all kinds of disadvantages, she could not help but plan for the fourth prince.

A prince who has been discussed as the crown prince will definitely become a thorn in the side of other ambitious people unless he completely loses power in the future and has nothing to do with the throne.

But what Fang Yun didn't know was that the fourth prince himself was interested in the position of prince.

Children who grow up in the palace, without speaking, can see a lot, listen a lot, and learn a lot, how can they not understand in their hearts?
Even though the Fourth Prince looked lively and out-of-the-box all day long, in his heart, this kid had as much on his mind as anyone else.

How could you not understand the principle of more wolves and less meat? There is only one father and only so much favor. If the mother and concubine take up almost all of it, others will naturally want to fight for it.

For so many years, it was never easy for his mother and concubine to protect him and his second sister as they grew up.

And although no one in the Yuzhang Palace mentioned it, the fourth prince also secretly understood Fang Yun's past, and he knew how difficult it was for Fang Yun to get to where he is today.

So, if he does not become the prince or the emperor, will the mothers of other brothers let go of the woman who has suppressed them for many years?

Even if you save your life, you will still be inferior to others in the future, so you must be restrained and careful at all times.

The fourth prince was the first to feel unhappy at the thought of his mother and concubine having to grovel in front of others.

So he studied hard and performed hard to make his father like him more and give him more opportunities.

But even though he was interested in the crown prince's position, the fourth prince never regarded the eldest prince and the fifth prince as enemies.

The eldest brother is kind-hearted and gentle, and has always taken good care of him. As a brother and friend, you should be respectful to your younger brother.

As for the fifth prince, he really didn't like this younger brother at first, but later his master said that a gentleman is upright and virtuous.

The fourth prince suddenly figured out that if he himself was not straight-minded and had no moral character, how could he take on a big responsibility? If he could not compare with the fifth prince in the future, he would deserve it.

Besides, as the saying goes, brothers, friends, and brothers respect each other.

As an elder brother, he disliked his younger brother from the beginning and treated him badly, so how could he gain his respect?
After figuring this out, the initial unpleasantness about the fifth prince was no longer there.

The friendship between children is always more pure.

In addition, the queen thought that the fifth prince was young, so she never said anything in front of him. Her daily teaching was centered on schoolwork, so the fifth prince had a pure mind. He would naturally be close to anyone who treated him well.

After going back and forth, the relationship between the two children actually became closer.

Later, the fifth prince experienced something like that. When the fourth prince found out, he was a little at a loss.

He could see that the eldest brother was not interested in the position of prince, and the third brother was not interested because of his birth. However, the talent of the fifth brother was not inferior to his, so in his heart, apart from brotherhood, the fourth prince , and secretly regarded the fifth prince as a competitor.

He was suddenly told that the fifth prince had no chance of becoming the crown prince and he was the only one left. The fourth prince had been in a state of confusion for several days.

But he soon adjusted.

No matter if he was the only one left, let him take care of everyone. His father often talked about the pain of fratricide. The fourth prince thought that as long as he became the prince, he might be able to make all the brothers well.

In fact, he did it later.

Pei Yao's seven children, four sons and three daughters, are all close and harmonious.

It can be said that no matter how far we go, no matter how far back we look, we have never seen such a harmonious scene in the royal family.

This was also one of the things that the fourth prince did that made Pei Yao most gratified and satisfied.

But such a child who is good at everything makes Pei Yao and Fang Yun worried about their marriage.

The other six children together were not as difficult to handle as the fourth prince alone.

Even the good-tempered Fang Yun couldn't help scolding him and drove him out of the palace.
