A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"Eunuch Liu, ?? Our brothers smell like a hot pot. It would be indecent to go to see the father like this." King Huai wiped his mouth and said, "Can we go back to the yard and change into clean clothes?"

"Your Majesty has seen all kinds of naughty appearances when you were young, you don't need to pay attention to these." Liu Zhongbao smiled and saluted: "Your Highness, please."

King Huai turned his head to look at King Chen, "My father always doted on the fifth brother, why didn't the fifth brother know in advance?"

King Chen silently shook his head, what was he doing?

The brother stood up and saw Eunuch Dali lift Yun Yanze onto the soft sedan chair, and followed him out.

"I knew I shouldn't eat hot pot today." King Chen sighed: "Eating for three days, even this king is tired of it."

The other three princes turned to look at him, at such a time, can you say something useful?

Entering the Taiyang Palace, King Huai looked around, the imperial guards were the same as before, the number of guards did not increase or decrease, and the palace servants who were serving also looked normal. He "touched" the jade pendant on his waist, took a deep breath, and stepped towards the gate of the main hall first.

"Everyone is here?" Emperor Longfeng glanced at his five sons, lowered his head and continued to write and draw on the paper. King Huai put his hands behind his back and secretly poked King Chen.

As the most favored son, it's time for you to step up.

King Chen took two steps to the side. No matter how favored his son was, he also knew how to look at Lao Tzu's face.

Does he look stupid, ?? would come out at such a time?

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the princes did not dare to come out.

After about two incense sticks, Emperor Longfeng finally spoke again: "Do you know, why did I call you here today? Boss, tell me."

King Huai shook his head calmly.

Was it the spy he was "inserting" in the Qi Wangfu who was discovered by the father? Or did the words of privately scolding Su Guifei and Yun Duqing spread to the father's ears?

Accidentally broke the royal gift?

Befriend certain officials privately?

Received the filial piety of the following people?

Find a sixth-grade real shortage for the princess's mother's cousin?

"Second, how about you?"

An Wang quickly shook his head.

Emperor Longfeng looked at King Jing, and before he could ask, King Jing shook his head sharply.

King Qi leaned back on the chair, clutching his chest and coughing lightly, his face pale.

"Imperial Father, don't look at Erchen." King Chen said cheekily: "You all know what Erchen does on weekdays, so there is no need for Erchen to repeat it."

The elder brothers turned their heads to look at King Chen, listening to his tone, are you quite proud?

"It seems that you don't know anything about your own affairs." Emperor Longfeng put down his pen and said in a low voice, "I haven't died yet, so you don't need to worry about this position every day!"

"Royal Father!" King Huai's expression changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. When the other princes heard the words of Emperor Longfeng, their faces turned pale with fright, and they knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

"Look for yourself." Emperor Longfeng smashed several thick books on his sons. I don't know if it was a coincidence.

"Young counselor, put on eyeliner!" Emperor Longfeng sneered: "In the years of Xiande, you would have been imprisoned long ago, and you wouldn't even understand what happened."

"If you raise counselors, you keep them in your own mansion. Why, I'm afraid I don't know?" Emperor Longfeng picked up the scroll and smashed King Huai's head twice: "You have the ability to accept people's filial piety, but you don't know how to do things. clean?"

King Huai shrank his head and did not dare to speak.

"And you, who have been both civil and military since childhood, turned a blind eye to what the Zheng family did." Emperor Longfeng pointed at King Qi, "Do you know how your Sixth Emperor Uncle died?"

"It was killed by his brainless grandfather's family." Emperor Longfeng sneered: "He was sent to Youzhou, and he died suddenly halfway through the journey in just a few days."

"What you are doing now is all that was left by those brothers in the past!" Looking at these sons kneeling on the ground, Emperor Longfeng became more and more angry, kicked King Huai, and King Huai rolled along. Just hitting the wound on King Qi's body, King Qi groaned.

"In the capital, if you don't have the ability to keep secrets, you won't do anything with your head. As a prince, it's not wrong to have ambition, but it's wrong to have ambition but no brain." Emperor Longfeng had no expression on his face, but he The anger is terrifying: "I blame you for being so good to you, for making you a bunch of idiots."

"You should be lucky, I am your father." Emperor Longfeng sat down on the steps and pointed to the books scattered all over the floor: "Pick them all up and take a look."

The princes did not dare to move.

"Show me!" Emperor Longfeng's chest heaved violently.

King Huai shook his hands and picked up the book that was in his hand. After a few glances, he didn't dare to read any further: "Father, this son is convicted! I beg the father to forgive my son, and my son will never dare to read it again. "

King Chen walked around the table, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Emperor Longfeng: "Father, calm down."

"And you, there were two spies who were "inserted" in the mansion, but they didn't find it." Emperor Longfeng took two sips of tea, turned his head and started scolding King Chen: "Why are you managing the palace?"

"Two?" King Chen was suspicious: "Isn't it three?"

"It's not that I don't know that they are spies. I'm not planning to find out who sent them. You were called into the palace before I had time." King Chen tapped on the back for Emperor Longfeng: "I can't do this either. Is it all the fault of Erchen? Erchen didn't expect that a few older brothers would "insert" spies into my house."

King Huai, whose forehead touched the ground, cursed in his heart, can you

do not know?

"I know all these things you have done." Emperor Longfeng said with a blank expression: "If I dare to do it again in the future, I am not afraid of the notoriety of killing children."

King Qi clutched his chest, the wound split open, and his lining was sticky to the wound, which was extremely uncomfortable. He looked up at the unfathomable father emperor, and bowed his head respectfully.

Father, how much do you know?

"Since I ascended the throne, I have invited famous ministers as teachers for you, and let you learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and you have learned these unworthy means."

"I am so disappointed in you."

Emperor Longfeng stood up from the steps, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Pass my will."

"King Huai and King Qi were disrespectful in front of the royal court and angered the emperor..."

"I beg your father for mercy." King Huai knelt in front of Emperor Longfeng: "My son is wrong."

"If you know it's wrong, change it." Emperor Longfeng looked at King Qi: "Old man, what about you?"

"My son...I know I'm wrong." King Qi kowtowed.

wrong?

His biggest mistake was that he was too good. He grabbed Yun Duqing's limelight and became a thorn in his father's side.

Listening to King Huai's plea, King Qi sneered in his heart, the boss blamed himself for occupying the position of the eldest son, which became an obstacle for Yun Duqing to inherit the throne.

In the eyes of the royal father, I am afraid that except for Yun Duqing, no one is his child.

Even if he smashed his head at this time, the emperor could not miss the good opportunity to pave the way for Yun Duqing.

King Chen saw that King Huai's forehead was swollen, and he almost stumbled to the ground. He stretched out his hand to help him: "Brother, be careful."

King Huai secretly complained in his heart, and kowtowed, listening to his father's tone, it was clear that he was going to cut off his throne!

"For the sake of King Huai's good attitude in confessing his guilt, he will be fined one year's salary, and he will not be allowed to leave the palace within half a year without an edict." To the King of Qi: "The King of Qi... cut off the prince's rank, demoted him to the king of the county, fined him a year's salary, and cannot leave the palace without an edict."

"Come here, after half a stick of incense, take King Huai and King Qi down and play fifteen big boards."

King Qi's body knelt on the ground and shook: "My son... take orders."

"As for you..."

Prince An and Prince Jing kowtowed in unison, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.

Emperor Longfeng glanced at King Chen: "The three of you have also made a lot of mistakes. All of you will be fined for half a year, and you will be allowed to stay in the palace honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Royal Father." Chen Wang whispered and reminded politely: "Now, there is only one and a half months left for the grand marriage of the son-in-law."

Not letting him out of the palace is inappropriate, right?

"Then you will get married in the palace." Emperor Longfeng said angrily: "There are so many empty palaces in the palace that it can fit your young couple."

King Huai, who was just glad that he escaped the catastrophe, suddenly became sour. His father actually let his adult son with a title be married in the palace?

Isn't that the exclusive treatment of the Crown Prince of the East Palace?

The other princes and princesses were all crowded in the small courtyard of Zhangliu Palace. When Yun Duqing got married, there was a palace?

King Huai felt very sad, but he didn't dare to say it. Not only did he dare not say it, but he also complimented his father's suggestion: "My father is right, the fifth brother's marriage is a major event, and it is better to be outside the palace than not inside the palace."

"This..." King Chen hesitated, the wedding ceremony was held in the palace, many guests could not attend the banquet, it was not lively enough.

Seeing that Yun Duqing was still not very happy, the other princes wanted to scold people. This is a good thing, is he not happy?

Being favored is great, can you be fearless?

At this moment, the Mingyue Palace is much more lively than before.

The biological mothers of the princes and princesses all sat in the Mingyue Palace in the name of Please An, and even Concubine Xu, who lived in seclusion, came with a slightly pale face.

"Everyone made an appointment today. Come and greet this palace together?" Concubine Su Gui sighed: "Why is this, everyone, this palace never pays attention to politeness, so don't do this in the future."

After the concubines and concubines exchanged a few words, finally someone couldn't help but started talking about the prince and the princess: "Miss, concubine heard that Your Majesty had summoned all the princes and princesses into Taiyang Palace, and did not let outsiders approach, the maiden knows, What is this... for?"

"Concubine Zhang, this palace remembers that Princess Roude came from under your knees?" Concubine Su flexed her knuckles and gently rubbed her chin: "How can this palace know about your majesty's whereabouts? If Concubine Zhang is curious, why not? Go to Taiyang Palace and ask in person, this palace will have people ready for you."

Concubine Zhang's face changed: "Concubine dare not."

"Since you don't dare, does this palace dare?" Concubine Su Gui leaned back lazily: "You don't have to worry too much, your majesty is the father of the prince and princess, how can a father harm his own child?"

It was rare for Concubine Su to tell them a few sincere words: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and wise man, and even if the princes have made mistakes, they will also take care of the father and son's love."

The concubines: "..."

Who believes this kind of nonsense, everyone is a concubine of the harem, it is interesting to tell such a lie?

When the late emperor was there, how many sons and daughters were trapped by him?

There is no father and son in the royal family, only monarchs and ministers.

"Niangniang, there is news from Taiyang Palace that your Highness has been fined for half a year." A maid of Mingyue Palace walked into the door: "The maid of Taiyang Palace also said that if there is no order from Your Majesty in the future, Niangniang, you are not allowed to send anything to His Highness."

When the other concubines heard the words, they suddenly "showed" a gentle smile of schadenfreude.

It turned out that it was King Chen who was punished.

"Also, the capitals of King Huai, King An, King Jing, and King Qi Jun

severely punished..."

Are you fined?

King of Qi County?

The king?

The schadenfreude smiles of the concubines froze on their faces, their faces pale.

What happened?
