After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 425 Overjoyed, His Teeth Are No Longer Visible

The jade thumb ring that the twelfth prince mentioned was no ordinary item.

Although it is made of green jade, and jade thumb rings don't use much material, the jade is of excellent quality, and it was bestowed upon me by the Emperor just a few days ago.

Lin Yi himself also really liked those jingling jade artifacts.

A few days ago, my eyes lit up when I saw that jade thumb ring.

Upon hearing that the twelfth prince had bestowed the jade thumb ring upon him, he was overjoyed, his eyes practically popping out of his head: "This servant thanks Your Majesty for the gift."

After thanking the master for the reward, he hesitated for a moment, looking quite distressed, and said, "Master, I remember that the jade thumb ring was bestowed by the Emperor a few days ago. Why don't you give it to me now? Or else?"

"Father bestowed many gifts upon you a few days ago. This is just a jade thumb ring, which has no special meaning. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

The twelfth prince looked at Lin Yi with amusement and said, "Didn't you like that? You just thanked me for the reward, so why are you declining it now? If you really don't want it, then... how about giving it to Lin Shun?"

"Yes, yes, this servant wants it! Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness."

Lin Yi quickly thanked the Twelfth Prince again, fearing that the Twelfth Prince would really give the jade ring to Lin Shun: "I will go to the kitchen to find some good desserts for Brother Shun to eat later, Brother Shun likes to eat sweets."

Lin Shun loves sweets, so let him find some delicious sweets. As for the jade thumb ring and the like, he can have to bear it himself!
The twelfth prince shook his head helplessly: "Alright, what's yours is yours. Go to the storeroom and get it yourself later."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement and stood guard in front of the twelfth prince for a while. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he turned and went to the storeroom.

The Imperial Household Department has been very busy lately with the matter of the three young princes moving out of the palace, but fortunately, each prince has capable people around him to help him, so the arrangements in the palace and the department were quickly made.

The Imperial Household Department also sent out notices to various departments regarding the relocation dates for the three princes.

After reviewing it, the emperor nodded in approval.

Empress Li... is still under house arrest, so there's no need to say more.

Although the twelfth prince was ranked first, he had no objection to the date and naturally wouldn't say anything. As for the eighth prince, Consort Wu's status was slightly lower. The Imperial Household Department had set the date, and the emperor had already approved it. Although Consort Wu was reluctant to let the eighth prince leave the palace to live alone at such a young age, she could only nod in agreement, enduring her reluctance, to provide him with sufficient servants.

Consort Wei, on the other hand, caused quite a stir.

Consort Wei certainly didn't want the Tenth Prince to leave the palace so early.

Firstly, she couldn't bear to part with the tenth prince, and secondly, since the tenth prince no longer lived in the palace, he couldn't frequently visit the emperor and Empress Dowager Wei to make his presence felt.

She was naturally unwilling.

So these past few days I've been spending a lot of time visiting Empress Dowager Wei.

Unfortunately, it didn't end well, and the Imperial Household Department still arranged the date.

Empress Dowager Wei meant that the date arranged by the Imperial Household Department was an auspicious day for moving, and the Emperor had already approved it. There was no point in Consort Wei making a fuss; it would be better to make proper arrangements for the Tenth Prince.

The tenth prince himself, however, was quite willing to leave the palace.

Living outside the palace meant he wouldn't be under his mother's watchful eye anymore, much like Sun Wukong without his headband—he was more than happy about it.

It was Consort Wei who suffered.

He was already feeling down because he had been subtly reprimanded by Empress Dowager Wei.

As a result, when she turned around, she was hurt again by the way her own son looked like he couldn't wait to leave her side.

Then...

Whenever Consort Wei was unhappy, everyone in the Imperial Household Department would suffer.
