Concubine De took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "My son, did someone say something in front of you? Mother has always been a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. There are many things that you don't understand yet because you are not yet grown up..."

"Well, I don't understand. My fifth brother and I are both the Queen's children. The Queen gave my fifth brother fifty green jade bracelets, but she would only occasionally give me one that he didn't want once a year. The Queen would accompany my fifth brother every day and coax him to sleep, but she would not come to see me for three months."

At this point, the Third Prince looked at Concubine De coldly, "Why?"

Concubine De didn't care about her manners and pointed at the Third Prince and said, "How many years older are you than Fifth Prince? Why can't you give way to your younger brother?"

"No." The third prince shook his head decisively.

Concubine De was so choked that she became angry and said, "You, how could you be so unfilial! No wonder you have a bitter face..."

"Yes." The third prince nodded, "So it's good for me to move to the prince's residence and live alone."

Concubine De: !!!

In her mind, the Third Prince has always been an expressionless and dull puppy, but he will stick closely to her.

No matter how badly she treated him, he still respected and loved her.

But now the puppy suddenly said that he wanted to abandon her? !

Defei couldn't accept it for a moment, and she was so angry that she actually fainted.

The third prince subconsciously took two steps forward, but soon he clenched his fists. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy in a group. The third prince stood there silently for a while, then continued to walk around the road and move forward.

The maid couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Concubine De..."

"Go find my fifth brother." The third prince had a blank expression on his face, tears falling from his eyes, and then he walked forward without looking back.

In less than a cup of tea, the news that the Third Prince had made Concubine De faint from anger spread throughout the palace.

The palace servants were all stunned by the news.

Yuan Ruan, who was nestling in Rongpin's arms and eating sweet soup, almost choked on his throat.

Rongpin hurriedly looked for a handkerchief nearby, but before she reached out to wipe Yuanruan's mouth, Qi Yue not only wiped Yuanruan's mouth, but also gently patted her back to help her breathe smoothly.

At this time, the emperor, the empress, and the third prince, the protagonist of the rumor, walked in together.

Rongpin picked up Yuanruan and bowed.

The emperor turned his head and looked at the expressionless Third Prince behind him: "Rongpin, you can also tell us about the Third Prince's impulsive personality..."

[Great! The Third Prince has always longed for maternal love and has been secretly bullied by his Fifth Brother. Now he has finally awakened! ]

emperor:……

He had a bad feeling. Wait, could it be that the Third Prince's rebellion was related to Yuan Ruan?

Rongpin didn't want to interfere in the affairs of other palaces, but seeing Yuanruan's attitude, she stood firmly beside Yuanruan.

Rongpin said, "The Third Prince will be able to come of age and start his own household in a few years. This may be a decision he has carefully considered."

[The beauty is indeed very understanding. She cannot be a brother-supporting demon! ]

emperor:……

What is a brother-supporting demon?

The Third Prince bowed and said indifferently, "Father, I am only a few years away from adulthood. I can almost take care of myself now. It would be good for me to open a mansion and be self-reliant later..."

[I have ambition. It is better to work on my own than to be sucked dry by others. ]

A hint of smile appeared in the third prince's eyes.

[But the way it was handled was a little clumsy.]

Third Prince:? ? ?

He did exactly what the teacher said before, is there anything wrong?

He resisted the urge to look at Yuan Ruan, but he had already prepared a small notebook in his mind to write down the key points.

System: [Aruan, why do you say he is stupid? ]

Yuan Ruan: [He was stupid because he complained too late, and Concubine De took the moral high ground. Without Concubine De's permission, how could the third prince's unfilial behavior spread so quickly throughout the palace? However, it may be that the third prince did not expect Concubine De to be so cruel to him. ]

Emperor and Empress: ...

The two of them looked at the Third Prince at the same time. Indeed, the fact that this news could spread throughout the entire palace so quickly seemed to show that Concubine De really wanted to destroy the Third Prince's reputation of being unfilial.

The Third Prince himself was very calm, not the kind of calm that is expressionless. His eyes did not fluctuate when he heard these hurtful words. He was in a state of complete enlightenment and indifference.

The Third Prince suddenly handed a large package to Yuan Ruan, opened it, and said, "This is for Ninth Sister, a gift for you... to stay at the Third Prince's Palace for a while."

Yuan Ruan looked at the dazzling array of jewels scattered out: ???

【A big dog owner! 】

System: [Yes. I’m not richer than your brother, but at least I’m more generous than him!]

The Third Prince smiled and added, "I wonder if Ninth Sister likes these shiny things. If she does, I will get some of these gadgets when I have the chance in the future to make her happy."

Yuanruan was so excited that tears were about to flow out of her mouth. She covered her mouth with her little hands and said, "I like it, I like it! Stick to me."

Yuanruan hugged the third prince and held him close.

System: [No wonder some people like the second generation of rich people who treat money as dirt. It’s so joyful to pick up money for free.]

Yuanruan: [Yes...from today on, you are my good brother! ]

emperor:……

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Just for some jewelry, he was demoted to a lower generation, right?

The Queen and Concubine Rong held back their laughter.

Yuan Ruan continued: [Wow, the Third Prince is so nice. If I wasn't afraid of scaring him, I really want to teach him my Book of Filial Piety so that he can deal with a biased person like Concubine De.]

The emperor was speechless at first, but when he heard the words "Book of Filial Piety", he suddenly became interested.

The Queen and Concubine Rong were also a little curious.

It turns out that gods also emphasize filial piety. I wonder what’s so special about that?

System: [Hahaha, Ah Ruan, I don’t think he would dare to do it even if you said it! I still remember your previous remarks.]

The emperor and the other two all looked sideways.

[Biased towards my younger brother? You say I am ignorant?! Fine, fine, then I will go crazy and prove that I am ignorant! ]

The three emperors: ...

Wait, why is the "Book of Filial Piety" different from what they thought?

[If Concubine De gets angry about this, don't panic. Just plunder all of Concubine De's palace jewels, then go to the emperor and tell him that Concubine De abused me. I don't believe she has the nerve to ask for it back. I want the same thing as family affection and money.]

The three emperors: ...

So, many of the jewels in that big bag had indeed been seen on Concubine De's neck and hair.

[If the other party scolds me for being unfilial? I will die of laughter. I will take this opportunity to move to the prince's residence and find a bride to be my new mother! ]

The three emperors: ...

Isn’t this exactly in line with the Third Prince’s trajectory?

I understand.

No wonder the third prince gave gifts to the little princess. This is like paying tuition!

……

Yuanruan was happily counting the jewels, and even responded with perfunctory “hmm, ah, oh”s to the emperor.

The emperor was speechless. He pinched Yuan Ruan's baby fat, then led the queen, the third prince, Rongpin and others away with an expressionless face.

They began to walk in the imperial garden in silence.

For half an hour, the emperor did not speak, and no one else spoke.

The Third Prince's eyes dimmed a little, thinking that his father would let him go back first to calm down Concubine De and the people with ulterior motives. After all, he still needed to dig a little deeper into the matter between Concubine De and the princes.

At this time, the emperor said calmly: "You should move to the Queen's place first. When you are older, you can move to the Prince's place."

The third prince's eyes lit up.

At the same time, the emperor suppressed the rumors, asked the third prince to change the jade book to the queen's name, and angrily denounced the "unfilial" rumors as false. As soon as the results came out, the former dynasty and the harem seemed to be bombarded out of thin air.

All the fish, big and small, surfaced.
