"Your father passed away long ago. Your imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother seemed to love you in every possible way, but when the critical moment came, they still gave up on you! Now even your father's identity as the crown prince will be taken away! This makes How can you gain a foothold in the palace in the future? Woohoo~~~"
The princess held her handkerchief and cried, looking miserable.
Hearing this, Zhongli Tao frowned: "Mother, my grandmother and grandfather must have their own reasons for doing this. My son is in poor health and is alive because of their careful care. Please don't say these words again in the future. It doesn’t sound good.”
He lost his father when he was more than a year old, so he naturally had no impression of his father.
But he was brought up by Emperor Mingde and Jiang Qianruo, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied with the Crown Princess complaining about them.
When the princess heard that her son did not stand on her side, but instead turned to accuse her, she became even more sad: "What sin have I done! The son I gave birth to was not caring at all, but turned away from me! You Tell me, if your father were not the prince, how would we and my mother live?! There is a huge difference in food and clothing, do you think you can adapt?"
"Don't you think your grandfather and grandmother love you? Go and beg for mercy and let them take their lives back! Otherwise, they will force us two to death!"
The princess said that she was about to go over to Zhongli Tao and take him to Yanfu Palace to ask for an audience with the queen.
Zhongli Tao naturally refused: "It's useless for me to hold this title now. Naturally, I have to give it to those who need it. I won't go!"
The Crown Princess' face twisted slightly: "If you don't want to go, you have to go! If you don't go today, I will treat you as my son!"
Zhong Lizao was shaken and looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing him like this, the Crown Princess softened her complexion, and big tears fell down in her eyes: "Tao'er, it's not that I'm forcing you, it's that I have no choice! If my mother loses the title of Crown Princess today, you Dad is not a prince, not only do we have to leave the East Palace where you grew up, but we will also be bullied when we go out in the future!"
"You are weak and you are bullied but you can't fight back. Mom is worried about your health!"
Zhong Lizhao pursed his lips and said a little stubbornly: "I have guards following me. They won't see me being bullied. Mother, don't worry."
Seeing that he was not getting enough, the Crown Princess became a little anxious and raised her voice: "What should I do, mother? I will no longer be the Crown Princess when I go out, but a widow of a dead prince! You know what will happen to Mother when she goes out? How much cold looks and ridicule? Are you unwilling to consider mother at all? "
Zhongli Tao seemed to understand something.
He remained silent: "I won't go."
After saying that, he shook off the Crown Princess's hand and returned to his room alone.
The Crown Princess looked livid with anger when she saw him like this.
——
Many people thought that Emperor Mingde was just temporarily hot-headed and confused.
But unexpectedly, as time passed, Emperor Mingde not only did not take back his life, but became more and more interested in teaching Zhong Lizhou.
In the early morning, he almost stopped taking care of things and left everything to Zhong Lizhou to take care of. He only occasionally gave some guiding opinions.
On the other hand, Zhong Lizhou, although he has not reached the top level yet, after this month of teaching, he has gone from being in a hurry to being able to do it with ease.
Even the neutral ministers who were watching with cold eyes began to soften their attitudes.
The faces of King Yi and King Xuan became darker and darker day by day.
The two of them were embarrassed on the surface, but they made a lot of small moves in private, but Zhong Lizhou easily resolved them.
With Ji Changying's help, Zhong Lizhou signed a "ten-year non-aggression" agreement with the prince of Beiyan on behalf of Dali.
With the advantage of high quality and low price, Dali sold a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes to Beiyan, and waited for the next year to pay and deliver them.
When the news broke out, people above the court realized it.
Good guy! It turns out they really have these two things!
And the yields of these two crops are so high!
What? It was actually done by Princess Hua? !
Liangzhou is already doing this quietly?
I don't know what other people are thinking. Wei Qiumao, the Minister of Revenue, was already scratching his head and head anxiously. He wanted to catch Ji Changying on the spot to have a good chat about how to do it.
But because he was still in court, he could only look at Ji Fengshou who was standing in the corner.
Wei Qiumao didn't have a deep impression of Ji Fengshou. In the past, he only thought that this person had a wretched temperament, was a bit rustic, and seemed useless.
At this moment, thinking that this man was the father of Princess Hehua, Wei Qiumao looked over again and felt that this man was hiding something.
Take a look!
They were all shocked by the news and couldn't recover. They were standing there motionless with their hands in their pockets, eyes lowered, how incomprehensible!
As expected, he is indeed the father of Princess Hehua. He is truly a tiger father and a dogless daughter!
Wei Qiumao looked at Ji Fengshou with awe in his eyes.
Ji Feng was so sleepy that he felt someone paying attention to him. He stood up straight in excitement and felt the gaze and looked over quietly.
He saw the Secretary of Tobe, his face flushed, looking at him with bright eyes, and the eagerness in his eyes could almost drown him.
Ji Fengshou couldn't help but wrap up his clothes tightly when he saw it, and quickly turned his head away.
God!
This bald man, doesn't he have any special 'hobbies'?
Looking at the ministers who were stunned by this news one after another, Emperor Mingde couldn't help but feel proud.
In the early years, these people used to laugh at him and the queen behind his back because they were in such trouble!
There were also people whispering behind their backs that it was because they had done so much killing that all the children were short-lived.
Although he was furious and dealt with some people at first, those words were like a thorn piercing deeply into his heart.
Now, it's finally out.
When no one spoke in the court, Emperor Mingde spoke: "It has been close to the New Year. From now on, there is no need to come to court every day. Everyone can relax. In addition, there will be a palace banquet the day after tomorrow. Dear Qinpin Anyone above can bring their family members to the palace to participate and have a good time together."
Emperor Ming De's oral instructions made everyone feel refreshed, and they couldn't help but glance at Zhong Lizhou.
"I obey your orders!"
There have long been rumors that Zhong Lizhou will be selected as a concubine. Now that the emperor specifically mentioned bringing his family into the palace, doesn't he mean that he is preparing to meet her?
Many people are thinking about notifying their families when they return home.
Ji Fengshou successfully spent another day. When he heard that he no longer had to go to the morning court, he was full of energy and ready to go home, but Wei Qiumao blocked his way: "Master Ji!"
Ji Fengshou trembled, turned around with a smile and said hello: "Master Wei!"
"We have been working together for such a long time, but Brother Wei has never visited me at home. Isn't this a break today? I wonder if Brother Wei has the honor to come to visit us for a cup of tea?"
