Time flies.
Three years have quickly passed.
During these three years, the little emperor has grown up a lot, shedding his original childishness, and, under the careful guidance of plenty, has become more and more steady, sometimes looking almost like a small adult.
However, that's only in front of outsiders; when facing Su Zhiruan's family, he drops his disguise and is still the rambunctious child.
Su Zhiruan has been handling state affairs for many years, and when the little emperor was five, she personally taught him by her side. The little emperor also liked Ming Yi and Ming Xi very much; the three children, without much age difference, loved playing with peers, and apart from them, there were no other children of similar age in the imperial harem, so the three of them played very well together.
