Although it was brought up by the Supreme Emperor to confer Yuan Chun as Crown Princess, it was the Empress who pushed for it.
What she wants is for the East Palace family to be harmonious, for the sons to support each other, and for everything to be perfect and no longer fighting.
So on the afternoon of the canonization day, Yang Qingyin sent a message to her sons, asking them to bring their families to the Kunning Palace for a banquet.
For the sake of the harmony of the whole family, Yang Qingyin put a lot of effort into it.
To this end, she specially invited the emperor and hoped that he could arrive early.
But when the appointed time came, the emperor hadn't come yet, so Yang Qingyin couldn't sit still.
Normally she wouldn't care, but at such an important moment today, she really hoped that her husband could arrive in time to resolve the conflict between her sons with her.
"I'll invite him myself!"
After saying that, Yang Qingyin set off to Qianqing Palace and they were about to arrive if they didn't delay the prince any longer.
The sun was setting in the west, lights were being lit inside and outside Qianqing Palace, and Yang Qingyin appeared directly in front of the emperor.
At this moment, Zhu Xianming was looking through the booklet. This was the case file of recent major cases, and Zhu Xianming was very concerned about this.
"I said... your butt is rooting on this broken chair? Why didn't you come after you agreed to go?" Standing in front of the imperial case, Yang Qingyin asked the emperor directly.
This scene made the eunuchs on duty dare not look at it. They only regretted that they were so unlucky that it was their turn to serve on duty at this time.
Facing the queen's question, Zhu Xianming ignored it and turned to the other side.
Seeing that the emperor didn't answer, Yang Qingyin looked around and said: "You all get out!"
The queen's words were now equivalent to an imperial edict. The eunuchs on duty retreated one after another, naturally filled with joy.
Walking around to Zhu Xianming, Yang Qingyin's tone became softer and asked: "Who made His Majesty angry?"
Zhu Xianming still ignored it, but took the book and turned to the other side.
Helpless, Yang Qingyin had to go around to the other side, but stopped talking and stared at the emperor.
After a few breaths, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but raise his head and met the queen's eyes.
"The report on the left side of the table, you can read it yourself..."
After hearing this, Yang Qingyin didn't say much, then came to the left side of the desk and picked up a memorial to read.
After looking at the front, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but put it down and said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I also placed people under surveillance in the fourth child's study. What's the point of doing this?"
"Look what he did!" Zhu Xianming's face became increasingly ugly.
Thinking that Zhu Jingyuan had really made a big mistake, Yang Qingyin stopped arguing with the emperor and picked up the memorial and continued reading.
The memorial records that after Zhu Jingyuan left Yuan Chun behind and returned to the study, he cried while holding the phoenix hairpin belonging to the former Crown Princess Lu.
Then, Zhu Jingyuan wrote Su Xueshi's "Jiangchengzi" in a state of sadness, and he was truly deeply affectionate for his deceased wife.
"A lonely grave thousands of miles away, no place to talk about desolation... Why do you say he is desolate?"
"We looked at each other without words, only a thousand tears... What do you think it looks like for a dignified prince of a country to cry for a woman?"
"With such a weak character, how can I have any fortitude and tenacity? How can I control the civil and military ministers? How can I bear the heavy burden of the world?"
From the emperor's point of view, what Zhu Xianming said made sense, so Yang Qingyin could not refute it.
"The prince has some shortcomings, just teach him carefully!"
"Today is a family dinner, and the fourth, sixth, and thirteenth are all coming. You can't not show up because of this!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming put down the book and said with great dissatisfaction: "I get angry when I see him!"
"Then why don't you destroy him? You don't like him anyway!"
"Anyway, since Lao Liu is here, why don't you just make Lao Liu the crown prince and everything will be fine?"
After hearing Zhu Xianming talk too much, the queen couldn't help but want to vent her anger, so much so that she talked like this.
Changing the prince will inevitably cause turmoil in the court. This will definitely not work if the prince is not at fault.
After all, what he, Zhu Xianming, wanted was an orderly inheritance of the throne, not a murderous nature like Li Tang.
All in all, the prince cannot be replaced easily.
"Since you have nothing to say, then come with me, the children are coming!"
Although Yang Qingyin's words seemed to be "submissive", the emperor was such a proud man that he would step down so easily.
Seeing that the emperor was still motionless, Yang Qingyin pretended to kneel down and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty..."
"That's all, why don't I go?"
Face was taken care of, Zhu Xianming stopped holding it, stood up and helped the queen up who was about to kneel.
But before he could say anything, he heard Yang Qingyin urging: "Hurry up!"
When the emperor and empress rushed to Kunning Palace, the prince and his wife had already arrived, but unfortunately they had nothing to say.
Just at the front and back, King Rui and his wife also arrived.
The furious look in the afternoon could no longer be seen on Princess Congrui Chen Zhi's face, instead she had a standard modest smile.
"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, when did you arrive? It's convenient for you. It will be a lot of trouble for us and Prince Rui to enter the palace!"
Chen Zhidang went in first, took Yuan Chun's hand and talked warmly, calling her "fourth sister-in-law" sweetly.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked lively, but the two brothers had nothing to say and could only return to their seats and sit in silence.
Chen Zhi is really a well-rounded person, pulling Yuan Chun from trivial matters such as eating and drinking, to topics such as housekeeping and raising children, and the conversation with Yuan Chun is really lively.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has arrived..."
Hearing the report outside, the four people in the hall rushed out to greet him, but saw the emperor's unsightly expression.
"Dad..." Prince Rui and Prince Rui all saluted.
Zhu Xianming glanced at the two brothers, and then asked: "Old Thirteen is not here?"
Yang Qingyin replied: "This boy arrived early. As soon as he arrived, he rushed into the east hall and was learning to write from Sheng'er!"
"Learning to write? Just him? What else can he do besides fooling around?"
"I didn't even come out to greet you when I arrived. I think he has more dignity than me!"
At this moment, in the east hall, there was a noise outside, and then a palace maid reported the situation. Zhu Jinghong was so frightened that he jumped off the soft couch.
When he ran out quickly, he saw that Zhu Xianming and others had arrived at the door of the main hall, and then they were stopped by his voice.
"father……"
This shout made him almost miss the step when he climbed up the steps. Then he turned around, and the queen, the queen, and others also looked behind them.
"Dad, the horse sent by King Beijing is really good. My son wears two layers of heavy armor and a vest. He can come and go like the wind..."
"My son named him Black Tornado... What do you think of this name?"
After saying the last sentence, Zhu Jinghong came to the bottom of the steps and saw clearly that the old man looked unkind.
"Boy, you're here. It seems that next time... I have to go and say hello to you!"
The emperor's words expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhu Jinghong's lateness and neglect. Although the latter understood at the moment, he had to pretend to be confused.
"Dad, don't be ridiculous, my son can't bear it!"
At this time, Yang Qingyin reprimanded: "Thirteen, why don't you quickly apologize to your father? You are so unruly. You don't rush to greet your father when he comes. Do you want to get slapped again?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianming said: "No need, let him stand here for half an hour and reflect on it!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong caught a glimpse of Zhu Yunsheng who was also "late", and immediately complained to the emperor: "Dad... Sheng'er didn't come out either!"
"Can you compare with Sheng'er?"
At this moment, Zhu Yunsheng was tiptoeing out. Hearing these words, he suddenly smiled and trotted to the emperor.
"Kowtow to Daddy!"
Zhu Yunsheng saluted obediently, which made Zhu Xianming feel particularly comfortable, so he led his daughter to the main hall, not forgetting to ask her about her homework along the way.
After looking at Zhu Jinghong, Yang Qingyin sighed helplessly, ordered someone to get Zhu Jinghong's cloak, and then turned around and entered the palace.
Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi also followed in, leaving the three brothers Zhu Jinghong alone outside the hall.
"Thirteenth brother, I will plead for you later, please bear with me for a while!"
"Yeah... Dad will calm down soon and will definitely let you in!"
The two brothers comforted their younger brother and then turned around and entered the hall.
Seeing everyone leaving, Zhu Jinghong didn't feel disappointed.
"Don't make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes... This is the way to hide your strength and bide your time!"
However, what happened to him made several people in the east hall feel very sad. They wanted to give him hot tea but did not dare.
