Prince: "..."
The rest: "..."
Princess Yan: “(>﹏
Help, help!
Damn bastard!
You should take me to escape with you! ! !
Princess Yan clearly felt that following her husband's public defecation, countless eyes were cast on her, and while her toes were on the ground, she was really grateful that they didn't say anything and just stared. After looking at himself for a few times, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, no one comforted her.
Otherwise, she would really cry on the spot!
In the end, the prince coughed dryly, looked around, and called his son's name: "Brother Ying, go and see your fourth uncle. Don't let anything happen..."
After saying that, he took off his badge and handed it over: "Your fourth uncle has always been stubborn. If he does something stupid, you must stop him. If he doesn't listen, tell him that you are going there in my place." of."
Zhu Di took the jade medal with a complicated mood and said softly: "Okay."
The prince coughed again and said nothing more.
Everyone watched Zhu Di leave.
The atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
Princess Yan's heart finally stopped beating so fast.
She held on to the document in her hand as nonchalantly as possible, and asked Princess Zhou next to her: "When did the health plan drawn up by the Queen begin to be implemented?"
Princess Zhou was very considerate, and when she was about to answer, she was embarrassed by her contact, but her eyes suddenly fell behind her.
Princess Yan turned around stiffly.
Zhu Di turned back with an embarrassed expression and motioned to the attendant to bring the pair of boots that King Yan could not wear.
Princess Yan looked ferocious and flattened the thick stack of paper with one hand.
“It’s so annoying!!!”
She stood up abruptly.
…
King Yan didn't even have any shoes on, so he ran a few hundred meters away like he was running for his life. The guards guarding the palace gate saw only a flash of a figure in front of them, and the next second the person disappeared without a trace.
...What happened just now?
Not long after, the emperor's eldest grandson came over. He looked around and asked solemnly, "What did you see?"
Everyone understood instantly, and then bowed their heads with respect on their faces: "Reporting to the emperor, we didn't see anything..."
King Yan ran against the wind, feeling that the sadness in his heart was surging like a river flowing backward. The shame of being caught defecating in public, coupled with his father's unfair attitude towards his two biological sons, as he ran, he suddenly I cried.
This young man who was over 20 years old and the father of two children, and had always been strong, actually fell to the ground like a child and cried loudly.
…
After King Yan and Zhu Di left one after another, the atmosphere in the dormitory was actually not just awkward.
The prince's eyes were raised slightly, and he met the worried eyes of his mother. The mother and son looked at each other. The latter agreed to continue discussing the next health plan with the others, while the former wanted to discuss things with his father. The father and son went to the side hall not far away together.
The emperor rubbed the stiff muscles in his jaw and asked his son, "What do you want to say?"
The prince said: "Father, did you hear what the fourth brother said just now?"
The emperor was slightly startled at first, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "This kid usually looks very serious, but I didn't expect..."
But the prince frowned and said with a serious expression: "But I feel that the fourth brother is really sad."
The emperor disapproved: "You are overthinking. That kid has been strong since he was a child. He didn't cry even if he fell. He got up and patted his pants as if nothing happened."
The prince's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his tone became more serious: "He just has a more open-minded temperament, and he is not a fool. Doesn't he know the pain when he hits the ground? The fourth brother didn't even eat early this morning. He came to see you, why did you hit him?!"
The emperor's tone was slightly weaker: "Do you still need a reason to beat your son?"
"Don't you need it?!"
The prince said seductively: "My father didn't behave like a father, how can I expect my son to behave like a son?!"
emperor:"……"
The emperor knew that he was in the wrong, so he inevitably felt guilty. However, his always self-centered character made it difficult for him to accept his son speaking to him in such an accusatory tone.
Immediately, his eyes widened and he said displeasedly: "What's your attitude? How can you talk to me! My wings are really stiff, even if I hit you a few times, it won't work!"
The prince said seriously: "It has always been said that a father is kind and a son is filial. If the father is not loving, how can he expect his son to be filial? Even a wise king like Emperor Shun, when faced with his father's unreasonable beating, would It’s not just accepting the situation, but trying to dodge it, let alone people nowadays?”
When my father remained silent again, I knew that he was not completely untouched.
At that moment, the prince softened his tone again: "Yu Si, that is my compatriot brother, flesh and blood. I can't just watch him suffer injustice, but Yu Gong..."
He lowered his voice and sighed: "For what Brother Ruwen confessed, how much do we, father and son, owe him?"
"Dad, you may not know what kind of child the fourth child is, but I know it very well."
"He is open-minded, sincere in his treatment of others, good at martial arts, and also has the desire to study literature and art. What hardships has he endured and what setbacks has he experienced since he was a child?"
"When he was born, there was already trouble in the family. Lovely Banyi treated him well in terms of food and drink. When he was a little older, he rode with the army on horseback and never lost a battle. He was very popular with the soldiers. We admire him, what a proud man he is!”
"But such a good boy was forced into desperation by Brother Wen. He had to abandon his dignity and become a madman. In the end, it was he who supported the Huangfu family and saved the country from collapse... "
The prince's eyes were filled with tears, his voice was choked with sobs, and he could not continue: "It was not my fault that I died early in my previous life, and it was not my fault that I gave birth to that stupid guy Wen Geer. How could what happened next happen? I couldn't forgive him in my previous life, so I will make up for him in this life." It’s too late, so how can I bear to watch him suffer this kind of injustice!”
There was a moist temperature in the emperor's eyes. After being silent for a long time, he said: "He is also my flesh and blood. How could I not like it? Maybe there can only be one person sitting on this dragon chair. If he gives birth to something that shouldn't be Some ambitions, like the story about Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, actually harmed you two brothers!"
After hearing this, the prince lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Father, my son dares to guarantee it with his life. My fourth brother is definitely not this kind of person!"
The emperor looked at the top of his eldest son's head for a long time, and finally raised his foot to kick his shoulder, but turned away and asked him, "Where is the fourth child? Where did he go in the blink of an eye?"
The prince knew that he had agreed, and immediately smiled and said: "The fourth brother and sister have already chased him out. Dad, don't worry."
…
While King Yan was crying, he was suddenly kicked from behind.
He sobbed and turned his head to glare at the visitor. When he saw that it was his princess, his anger instantly increased to a higher level: "What are you doing, woman?!"
Princess Yan had been married to him for many years, and this was the first time she saw her husband crying with his face chapped.
Unlike the heroic young general on the battlefield, he looked more like a drowned dog that accidentally fell into the water and soaked its fur.
She wanted to laugh, but for some reason, seeing this always dazzling man in such embarrassment, the corners of her mouth turned up, and tears started to fall.
Princess Yan kicked him again bitterly: "You bastard, are you a human?!"
She cried: "After you humiliated me there, you patted your butt and left, leaving me alone there!"
King Yan cried even more sadly than she did: "Can you stop talking about this?! I'm so sad!"
Princess Yan: "..."
Princess Yan kicked him again, but this time it was much lighter.
She lifted up her skirt and sat next to her husband. She didn't even look for a handkerchief, so she wiped his face with her sleeves: "Isn't it a shame, a real man, crying like this!"
King Yan choked uncontrollably: "You, aren't you crying too?"
Princess Yan paused for a few seconds, then suddenly increased her intensity and rubbed his face hard several times.
King Yan cried like a child who had all his toys taken away: "Why are you here to bully me?!"
"No," Princess Yan held his hand and said forcefully, "I just, just feel sorry for you."
"Your Majesty, I know you feel uncomfortable. Your Majesty is partial, and he values the eldest brother more. Although that is because the eldest brother is the prince and has heavier responsibilities, but partiality is partiality."
"But I'm different."
She said: "I am partial to you, just like the emperor is partial to my elder brother."
Princess Yan wiped away the tears on his face, held her husband's face in her hands, and said sincerely: "Don't cry anymore."
"You are very good, but you are also a person who will be treated favorably."
Chapter 166
Zhu Di was sitting behind the rockery not far away. Hearing Prince Yan and his wife holding their heads and crying bitterly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a look of confusion on his face about the past and a nostalgia for the couple's companionship in the past, but besides that, he also felt more or less lonely.
Why didn't he appreciate the grievances and bitterness that King Yan had endured?
Of course, Prince Yan and his princess had feelings, and it could even be said that they were very affectionate. Princess Yan’s father had followed the emperor in revolt very early, so Princess Yan’s mother and the rest of her family would often He often visited Queen Duan, and when he was a little older, he was even raised by Queen Duan. It can be said that he and King Yan were childhood sweethearts.
But no matter how close the relationship is, it is difficult to achieve no barriers.
How many people can tell the person next to them without hesitation that there is a trace of sour jealousy towards their biological brother hidden deep in their hearts?
But at this moment, Zhu Di could feel that the invisible and intangible barriers between the young couple seemed to be slowly disappearing.
so good.
It has just snowed, the weather is still cold, but the air is fresh.
The cold wind was blocked by the rockery, and the sunlight cast a thin layer. Although it was light, it was still somewhat warm.
Bathing in the winter sunshine, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.
The several emperors in the space were impressed by what they saw, and Li Shimin couldn't help but ask him aloud.
"Hey, Judy, you seem to be looking away?"
Judy folded her hands and smiled leisurely: "I'm different from you. I've already been my father's crown prince. What else is there to dislike?"
His eyes fell on the young couple not far away, with calm expressions and as pale as a chrysanthemum: "Looking at them after jumping out of the chess game, it feels like an elder looking at a child, without any emotional fluctuations. Got it."
While he was talking, Zhu Di heard footsteps approaching from behind. He turned around and saw that his father and the emperor's grandfather were coming together. For some reason, there were no servants or palace people following him.
Four or five steps away, the prince made a gesture to his son to silence him.
