Yunchu ate quietly.
After traveling for half a year, the two children have grown up and become sensible. They don't need anyone to take care of them when eating, and they can eat well.
While Chu Hongyu was serving porridge to his sister, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Brother Yu, your mother-in-law is pregnant. Is it your younger brother or your younger sister?"
He turned around, saw Chu Lan's face, and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
"If your mother-in-law gives birth to a younger brother, there will be great things to see." Chu Lan looked like he was gloating, "My mother-in-law said that when your mother-in-law has a child of her own, she will definitely let her child do the same thing. As for you, the young prince of Pingxi Palace, you will be nothing by then."
Chu Hongyu pointed her finger: "Is your mother and concubine still telling you this?"
Chu Lan nodded: "Not only my mother-in-law said this, but also many maids in the East Palace said so."
She finished her words.
Chu Hongyu stood up suddenly and said, "Grandfather, my grandson has something to report!"
The emperor raised his eyelids: "What's the matter?"
"My grandson wants to tell the story that the crown prince's aunt is running the East Palace in a bad way. The top beams are not straight and the bottom beams are crooked!" Chu Hongyu said loudly, "What should the emperor do to deal with it?"
The Crown Princess turned pale, stood up, knelt down at the foot of the steps and said, "Father, I don't have any sons and ministers. It's Brother Yu who is making trouble."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I have evidence!" Chu Hongyu pointed at Chu Lan and said, "Sister Lan'er said that the crown prince's aunt said in the East Palace that my mother-in-law would give birth to a younger brother. She also said that when the younger brother is born, I will no longer be the Prince of Pingxi. The crown prince, not only the prince’s aunt said so, but also the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace said so. I dare to ask the emperor’s grandfather, is this called what goes up and what follows?”
Chu Lan's eyes suddenly widened and she stammered: "No, I'm not, I didn't..."
Chu Changsheng stood up and said softly: "Grandfather, I heard it too."
The queen's face was dark.
She couldn't handle everything on her own, and this girl Chu Lan was causing trouble for her.
Everyone in the capital didn't know about this trivial matter in Prince Pingxi's palace. Everyone was discussing in private whether the child was a boy or a girl, and who the future prince of Pingxi would be. They just discussed it in private, but Chu Lan, an ignorant girl, actually Say it in front of others!
What is even more unacceptable is that when the children were quarreling, Brother Yu actually brought it to the emperor.
The queen looked at Yun Chu coldly.
As long as Yun Chu comes to comfort them, she believes that the two children will naturally give up and the matter will be over.
But he saw Yun Chu sitting there with no intention of opening his mouth to smooth things over.
The queen had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I think this is just a quarrel between children and is not a big deal."
"In this case, a child can't say it." The Duke's wife smiled slightly, "Can a child understand that the prince is not the prince? It seems that the adults said such words, and the child took it to heart... The Crown Princess was in front of the child. It is indeed inappropriate to talk about the affairs of Prince Pingxi's palace."
The queen's face darkened.
Li Jingshu, Li Jingshu, are you openly provoking her, the mother of a country?
The Crown Princess was so frightened that her hands were shaking, and she defended out of instinct: "Father, I know my lesson, but I don't..."
The emperor suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table: "The Crown Princess has no skills in teaching her son and is incompetent in controlling her subordinates. She will be fined half a year's salary as a warning to others!"
The Crown Princess looked bitter: "...Yes."
She returned to her seat and looked coldly at her good daughter Chu Lan. Chu Lan shrank her neck and did not dare to look at her.
Before the Crown Princess could do anything, she heard the Crown Prince say coldly: "If you can't take care of your children, then teach them to someone who can!"
"Yes, Your Highness..."
The princess bit her lip.
Chu Lan kept shrinking her neck, and it wasn't until the Crown Princess excused herself from the table that she dared to raise her head.
She glared at Chu Hongyu: "The accuser!"
Chu Hongyu slowly ate a meatball, and after swallowing it, he said: "Don't let me hear these words again in the future. Hear them once and complain once. I like to complain. What's wrong?"
Chu Lan was so angry that she wanted to put the dinner plate on his head.
But she didn't dare. If she complained again, the emperor's grandfather would definitely be more sure that her mother-in-law had no way to teach her son...
Chu Hongyu came to Yun Chu's side proudly: "Mom, am I very powerful?"
Yunchu touched his head.
Borrowing strength to fight is indeed a means.
She smiled softly and said: "You children can use this method between you. If an adult bullies you, remember to tell me and your father first."
Chu Hongyu nodded: "That's natural."
The banquet quickly came to an end.
During the banquet, Yunchu noticed that the emperor and his wife had disappeared for more than a quarter of an hour.
And the queen's complexion became visibly worse.
At the end of the Laba banquet, the emperor stood up and toasted with everyone. At this time, there was only a clang sound, and a soft sword fell out from the body of the prince of the Duke's mansion in full view of everyone.
The blade was soft and the hilt was made of steel. It made a heavy sound when it fell to the ground.
The Crown Prince, who was nearly thirty years old and still holding a glass of wine in his hand, was stunned when he saw the sword falling from his body.
"Bold!" General Mighty drew his sword and pointed it at the prince, "Bringing weapons privately into the imperial city is a crime!"
When the ministers of this dynasty enter the palace, they must all remove their armor and remove their troops. They are not allowed to bring any weapons into the palace. The only people who can carry weapons are the guards of generals of the third rank and above, and the imperial guards.
As the prince of the country, he was not allowed to wear a sword at all.
"Wei Chen, you are wronged!" The Crown Prince knelt on the ground with a plop, "I am loyal to the emperor and the court, and there is no way that I could assassinate and commit rebellion. Please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate and clear my name!"
"This sword fell from your body, how can you check it!" The prince said coldly, "Father, I think the prince has been in this position for more than 20 years, and my father has never given him an official He holds a grudge against the knight, so he wants to use the banquet to seek revenge, and his heart is worth killing!"
"Impossible!" Li Jingshu, the Duke's wife, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way Qi'er could do such a thing. Someone must have deliberately framed him!"
The Minister of Punishment came out and said, "It's not difficult to investigate this matter. Just find out the source of this sword."
The Duke’s wife nodded: “We must find out!”
After she finished speaking, she saw the prince trembling all over. She asked with disbelief on her face: "Is this sword yours?"
The Crown Prince nodded slowly.
The sword was indeed his, but he didn't put it on him. He didn't understand why such a thing happened...
The Duke's wife turned to look at the Queen and saw the deep smile on the Queen's lips.
The queen's smile deepened as she met the Duke's wife's eyes.
Over the years, Guo Gong's wife has offended many people by relying on the emperor's favor. Once this incident comes out, many families will step on her and Guo Gong's mansion will disappear from the capital from now on.
It's not in vain that she spent 10,000 taels of silver to bribe the servants of the Duke's mansion...
