When Concubine Xian heard this, her face turned pale with shock:
"Ye'er, shut up!"
Chu Chengye didn't care, he knelt down and broke the jar and said:
"I have seen the imperial brother since I was a child, and was taught by my father every day. While the children and ministers were envious, they also felt jealous in their hearts. When they grew up, they wanted to compete with the imperial brother in everything, just to make them feel better. The father can see his son. The son also wants to be like the imperial brother and always be by his father's side. Even if he is scolded every day, the son is happy with it."
Concubine Xian knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, Ye'er has been having nightmares lately and loves to talk nonsense. Please forgive me."
One of the mother and son begged desperately, while the other had red eyes and knelt straight, like a child who was not loved by his father and was venting his grievances.
Among the several sons, no one has ever been so bold. He obviously said that he was partial to the prince...
But as he grew older, he looked forward to family happiness more and more. The emperor's heart was completely softened by this son who was full of grievances.
"Get up."
He glanced at Concubine Xian who was sitting down and carefully looked at her expression. Looking at his still stubborn son, the emperor sighed and said with a smile:
"What a rogue! In the royal family, father and son come first, and the prince is the heir apparent. Naturally, I have to teach you more. Ask yourself, are you the most favored prince besides the prince?"
Chu Chengye raised his head after hearing this, his eyes full of admiration:
"Seriously? My father loves my brother just because he is the crown prince? So my father loves my son, do I just love him as a son? In comparison, does my father love my son more?"
Concubine Xian scolded: "Ye'er! Your Majesty is the king's father. How old are you, how can you still compete for favor like the heirs of ordinary people?"
Emperor: "What your mother and concubine said is that a person who is about to be crowned a prince is not ashamed to compete with his brother for favor."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Zhong Yi reported the news one by one:
"The third prince left the palace yesterday. Before meeting His Highness, he had not seen anyone or gone anywhere."
"The Third Prince's Mansion has recently gained two new staff members. One is named Jia Yu. His ancestors once joined the officialdom, and his family became a businessman. There is nothing special about him."
"The other one is called Sun Jian. He is from the Pioneer Battalion of the Zhenxi Army. He is Han Yaohui's confidant. He is probably the third prince whom he advised."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi paused, glanced at Chu Chengyao's face and then said:
"The third prince and your majesty just had lunch and left the palace. Your majesty rewarded the third prince with the snow."
A flash of injury quickly flashed across Chu Chengyao's cold face, and then he sneered:
"Oh, in order to win over the general, my father was willing to give up his love and give Zhufeng to Lin Jin'an. Now that the third child has made some show of force and acted like a brother and brother, my father is willing to give away Tuxue. Look, Come on, he is really old, and he starts to miss the family relationship between father and son."
After mocking him, Chu Chengyao ordered nonchalantly:
"Since the Duke's office has arranged for someone to impeach the prince, there must be a backup plan. The prince is nothing to worry about, but Qin Zongliang must be guarded against. Send someone to keep a close eye on him."
"yes."
Chu Chengyao: "More some cool people come to Kyoto to replace the current spies. Not only the Duke's Palace and the Prince's Palace, but also the Third Prince's Palace and the Fourth Prince's Palace will be kept under close watch."
Zhong Yi: "It is well known that the fourth prince has no intention of becoming powerful, so there should be no need to worry..."
Chu Chengyao: "Who wouldn't be tempted by that position? If you know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts, it's better to be on guard."
