In the Wende Palace, the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince fought again.
The Seventh Prince mocked Concubine Rong for her poor health. The Ninth Prince was naturally very angry when he heard this and punched the Seventh Prince without saying a word.
Since that day when they were punished by the emperor as new recruits, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince did not dare to fight again. On weekdays, the two of them quarreled very fiercely and did not dare to fight.
Today, when the Ninth Prince saw the Seventh Prince laughing at his mother-in-law, he suddenly became furious and started fighting with him without thinking.
The Seventh Prince was thin and frail, no match for the strong Ninth Prince.
Fortunately, the husband appeared in time and took the Ninth Prince away, otherwise the Seventh Prince would have been injured by the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince was very bad and kept hitting the Seventh Prince in the face. The seventh prince's nose and face were bruised and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
The seventh prince ran back to Zhaoyang Palace to complain to Queen Xie. Seeing that her son had been beaten so badly, Queen Xie took the seventh prince directly to the imperial study to find the emperor.
After the emperor heard about it, he asked Sun Kui to call the Ninth Prince over.
Normally, the Ninth Prince would be very scared when he saw the emperor, but today he became a lot more courageous. He said he was not wrong, it was the seventh prince who spoke ill of his mother and concubine first.
The Ninth Prince also shouted to the Emperor why the Emperor didn't visit his mother-in-law when she was sick. Doesn’t the emperor love his mother and concubine the most? He also asked the emperor if he no longer wanted his mother-in-law?
Seeing that the Ninth Prince dared to yell at the emperor, Queen Xie who was on the side immediately assumed the posture of a legitimate mother, reached out and slapped the Ninth Prince, scolding him for his lack of rules, and said that Concubine Rong had spoiled him rotten.
The Ninth Prince covered his face, stared at Queen Xie with resentment, and called her a bad woman.
Queen Xie's face turned red with anger, and she was about to reach out and hit the Ninth Prince again. The emperor asked her to take the seventh prince down first.
Before leaving, Queen Xie asked the emperor to severely punish the Ninth Prince and Concubine Rong.
After Queen Xie and the others left, the emperor first reprimanded the Ninth Prince, and then asked the Ninth Prince to kneel at the door of the imperial study room. When he realized his mistake, he would get up.
The Ninth Prince was unconvinced and kept shouting that he was right and it was the Seventh Prince who was wrong.
King Dai learned that the ninth prince had beaten the seventh prince and was punished by the emperor by having him kneel at the door of the royal study. He hurried to the imperial study room.
When the Ninth Prince saw King Dai, he felt like he saw a savior. First I was very happy, and then I felt aggrieved and almost cried.
"Brother, I was not wrong. It was Zhao Jing who was laughing at his mother and concubine, so I beat him."
The King of Dai touched the Ninth Prince's head and comforted him: "I understand, please kneel here obediently while I go in to plead with Father."
"Brother, I'm waiting for you."
When Sun Doudou saw the King Dai coming, he went to the royal study and reported: "Your Majesty, I would like to see His Highness the King."
"Let him in."
Sun Doudou walked in and said respectfully to King Dai: "Your Highness, the Emperor will let you in."
King Dai nodded lightly to Sun Doudou and immediately walked into the imperial study.
The king was always very polite to the people who served around the emperor, and would not act like a king in front of Sun Kui and Sun Doudou.
After Dai Wang entered the imperial study, Sun Kui withdrew and stood with Sun Doudou.
Sun Doudou winked at Sun Kui and then nuzzled at the Ninth Prince who was kneeling not far away.
Sun Kui glanced at the Ninth Prince who was kneeling not far away with a stubborn look on his face, then at the Imperial Study Room, and then shook his head at Sun Doudou.
At this moment, the emperor's roar came from the imperial study, which startled Sun Kui and Sun Doudou.
With a bang, something fell hard to the ground.
Sun Kui, Sun Doudou, and the other eunuchs guarding the palace gate were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
The Ninth Prince, who was kneeling at the door of the royal study, was also frightened. His stubborn little face instantly turned pale, and his body, which was stronger than the Seventh Prince's, was trembling slightly.
The news that Dai Wang was scolded by the emperor soon spread throughout the previous dynasty and harem.
In the East Palace, the prince was having lunch with the eighth prince. After hearing about this incident, he was in a good mood and ate an extra bowl of rice.
"Brother, this is just the beginning." The Eighth Prince raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "There will be more fun to watch later."
His Royal Highness raised his wine glass and touched it gently to the Eighth Prince's wine glass, and then said with a smile on his face: "That's right, the fun has just begun."
"Jiang is still old and hot, Zhen Guogong's move is really amazing." The eighth prince said with great admiration.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that my uncle would find a woman who looks exactly like Si Youying." The prince smiled, "I was also very shocked when my uncle told me about it."
"Now it seems that Duke Zhenguo made the right bet. My father never forgot Si Youying and used all his debts to Si Youying on Concubine Ying." The eighth prince said in an admiring tone, "Since Concubine Ying entered the palace, , I have always been favored by my father, who has not seen Concubine Rong for a long time. If this continues, Concubine Rong will definitely fall out of favor."
"As long as Concubine Rong falls out of favor, the acting king will..." The prince said, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and then he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly, "I can't wait to see the acting king turn into a lost dog."
"Brother, you can calm down now." The eighth prince was worried that the prince would lose his temper and do something he shouldn't, causing the Duke Zhen's carefully arranged plan to fall through.
"Although I can't wait to see King Dai become a lost dog, I will not do anything impulsive in the heat of the moment." The prince said with a smile, "I have been waiting for the day King Dai falls. After so many years, I don’t care if I wait a little longer.”
"I thought eldest brother couldn't wait any longer," the eighth prince said jokingly.
"I can't wait a little bit, but I can still keep my composure." The prince picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the eighth prince's bowl. "What do you think the king will do next?"
The Eighth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The King will try his best to get Concubine Rong back in his favor, and the King's people will target our people next." As he said that, the Eighth Prince's expression suddenly became serious. "Brother, we have to be careful next time."
The prince nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle will take care of everything."
The Eighth Prince chuckled and said, "That's right. With the Duke here, we don't need to worry at all."
"Let's just wait and see the King become a lost dog." The prince just imagined the scene for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
The ministers in Lanyuan Pavilion were also discussing this matter. After all, this was the first time the emperor had reprimanded the king.
You must know that when the first king came back from Liangzhou after winning the war, he was so rude to the prince, and was even asked by the censor Zhongcheng to ask the emperor to severely punish the king. In the end, the emperor only punished the next king lightly, and did not even say a serious reproach to the king.
Ever since Concubine Ying entered the palace, Concubine Rong had fallen out of favor. Now, King Dai was scolded by the emperor again, and many ministers believed that King Dai was about to fall out of favor like Concubine Rong.
For the ministers who supported the prince or the third prince, they wished they had fallen out of favor on behalf of the king.
"Fourth brother, did second brother do something wrong?" Zhao Yao asked deliberately.
The fourth prince said: "I don't know."
Seeing Zhao Yao's curiosity, he said to him seriously, "Second brother and his master's affairs are not our concern."
When Zhao Yao heard this, he nodded obediently: "I understand."
The fourth prince changed the subject and asked what Zhao Yao wanted for his birthday. In a few days, it will be Zhao Yao's sixth birthday.
"Fourth brother, I like whatever you give me." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Fourth brother, I will be happier if you give me something valuable."
The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao amusedly: "What valuable thing do you want, gold?"
Hearing the word "gold", Zhao Yao's eyes instantly lit up: "Fourth brother, if you give me gold, I definitely won't mind."
Seeing Zhao Yao's money-obsessed look, the fourth prince smiled helplessly and fondly: "Then how much gold do you want?"
"Fourth brother, if you give me a lot of gold, I will be very happy." Zhao Yao was not polite at all.
The fourth prince deliberately teased Zhao Yao: "Yellow and white things are not good after all. How about I give you a book?"
"What book? Is it an orphan copy?" Zhao Yao weighed it in his mind. The orphan copy seemed to be worth more than gold. "If it's an original copy, then I'm willing to have it."
"You don't like reading, don't you think it's a waste to give you a solitary copy?" The fourth prince teased Zhao Yao, "Don't you like reading story books? How about I give you a story book?"
When Zhao Yao heard this, he glared at the fourth prince dissatisfied, and said unhappily with a puffed face: "Fourth brother, how could you do this."
Seeing that Zhao Yao was unhappy, the fourth prince quickly coaxed him gently: "I'm teasing you, I will give you something valuable."
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Yao's little face. He looked at the Fourth Prince with expectant eyes: "Then I'll wait for Fourth Brother's gift." He shook his little head and his calves swayed gently, "I really hope my birthday can come early."
Seeing Zhao Yao's happy and expectant look, the fourth prince's eyes were full of smiles.
"Little money fan..."
"Fourth brother, I have a birthday once a year. On my birthday, I can receive a lot of gifts." Zhao Yao tilted his little head and said, "It would be great if I could celebrate my birthday every month. Then I would be rich. "
"You think about your birthday every month, you are really greedy."
"It would be nice if I could celebrate my birthday every day, not every month."
The fourth prince reached out and tapped Zhao Yao's forehead, smiling and cursing: "What a beautiful idea."
Zhao Yao stuck out his tongue at the fourth prince: "Fourth brother, I can't think of beauty." After saying that, he jumped off the chair, "Fourth brother, I'm going to go and play with He Xiang and the others."
He Xiang and the others had just finished lunch and were waiting for Zhao Yao to come and play chess with them.
After lunch every day, Zhao Yao would come to He Xiang and the others to play chess.
When Zheng Rang saw Zhao Yao coming, he quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao.
"Your Highness, your letter."
Zhao Yao took the letter from Zheng Rang and immediately put it in his arms.
Zheng Qian writes to Zhao Yao every day and asks Zheng Rang to help deliver it.
Unable to get close to his lord Zhao Yao, Zheng Qian thought of writing letters so that he could contact his lord every day. Although his people cannot follow the Lord every day, his letters can.
Zhao Yao still found it incredible that Zheng Qian recognized him as his lord. Of course, at first, he refused. Later, I heard from Zheng Rang that Zheng Qian not only restrained his temper in order to be his adviser in the future, but also studied seriously in Taixue.
Seeing that Zheng Qian was so serious about accepting him as his lord, Zhao Yao couldn't refuse directly. He thought that when he grew up, Zheng Qian might change his mind and no longer recognize him as his lord. However, Zheng Qian wrote very seriously to him every day, telling Zhao Yao one by one what he did every day, what he learned, what books he read, and what he thought.
He also wrote to Zhao Yao to ask for advice on the art of war. His attitude was so pious that Zhao Yao could not refuse and could only write back to him every day.
In this way, the two wrote letters every day and became pen pals.
The second update is here.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message!
