Parents always hope their children will succeed, and Song Zhiyuan is no exception. He himself is currently the Prime Minister, so he definitely has high expectations for his sons.
However, the reality is quite disappointing.
It's not that Song Lingsu is extremely poor; but compared to Song Lingjie, who is around the same age, he is slightly inferior.
Song Lingsu himself is not without talent, but judging by his writing and conduct, Song Zhiyuan understands that if this son were to become an official, his leisurely and indecisive nature wouldn't lead to great success.
Thus, Song Zhiyuan is somewhat disappointed. This child is the legitimate eldest son — how will he inherit the family business and lead the family?
Emperor Chu chuckled: "As they say, 'the wheel of fortune turns,' this year it's his family's turn. Song Yunzhi, you can't always expect fortune to favor your side."
