Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

The noble mansion.

Early this morning, the entire noble mansion was already bustling with activity.

Ling Hong was even taken care of by several maids and put on a Huazhong dress. However, Ling Hong pouted and said, "Why do I have to wear these things?"

"It's really heavy as hell."

"Your Highness, please don't say that. If His Majesty hears it, I'm afraid he will blame you again."

"Yes, today is the great day when our Highness turns nine, and His Majesty will be here in person."

"If your highness doesn't prepare, His Majesty will be angry."

Several maids tried to coax Ling Hong, who felt a headache coming on: "This is so annoying. Don't look at me like that."

"I'm not a kid anymore."

Although Ling Hong is not very old, he is a very smart person who is not comparable to ordinary people. When Ling Hong's thoughts came to an end, the voice of Concubine Han was heard outside the door.

"Hong'er!"

"Mother." Ling Hong immediately threw himself into Han Guiren's arms, and the latter smiled dotingly: "Hong'er, has mother ever told you to stay calm in the face of difficulties?"

"I……"

"Okay." Han Guiren comforted: "Mother knows you don't like this kind of thing, but this is the only way."

"You were born in heaven. When faced with some things, you have no choice but to endure them."

Ling Hong curled his lips: "Mother, I know."

"All right."

Han Guiren patted Ling Hong on the forehead and said, "There are some things you need to learn and try now."

"otherwise."

"How will you face the abyss in the future?"

Ling Hong nodded, not quite understanding: "Mother, I understand."

Han Guiren smiled dotingly, and then she saw Ma Changkong running over: "Miss, someone just came from above, and His Majesty has already prepared a banquet in the Imperial Garden."

"Now just wait till we get through."

"kindness."

Han Guiren nodded and said, "Hong'er, no matter what, you are the protagonist today. Don't be too impetuous. It will be bad if your father blames you."

"kindness."

Ling Hong nodded: "I understand, mother, I won't do anything rash."

"All right."

Han Guiren whispered, "It's getting late now, let's go first. If it's too late, your father will probably scold you again."

"it is good."

Ling Hong nodded and agreed.

Royal Garden!

Although there were many palace maids and eunuchs busy, there were not many dignitaries present. After all, they all knew that this was just the birthday of the eighteenth prince.

Giving a gift is a token of your thoughtfulness.

Why do you have to choose to continue to stand out at this time?

No matter what, the Eighteenth Prince will never become the Crown Prince. This poor prince is worse than a dog, and this is not just a casual remark.

When Ling Tian and the others arrived here, Chu Wan'er couldn't help but shake her head: "It seems that no one has taken this matter to heart."

“Isn’t this normal?”

Ling Tian didn't think much about it. He just found a place to sit down and started eating the fruit in front of him. Chu Wan'er looked upset and said, "Can't you pay attention to your image?"

"Ah."

Ling Tian smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I don't think many people will come anyway."

"and!"

"You don't really think that Eighteen would want a lot of people?"

Chu Wan'er was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, what Ling Tian said made sense. Among Emperor Wu's many princes, Ling Tian had the weakest power. Apart from him, there was the eighteenth prince.

It is a miracle that Concubine Han was able to raise the Eighteenth Prince to this age in the deep palace.

Before Chu Wan'er could say anything, she heard a commotion outside. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Third Prince and his entourage slowly approaching.

"I've met the third prince."

"I've met the third prince."

Many palace maids bowed and saluted at this time, their eyes full of respect. After all, the Third Prince was the most powerful person besides the Crown Prince, and the one who had the greatest hope of competing with the Crown Prince.

Ling Xu nodded in satisfaction, but the next second his eyes fell on Ling Tian, ​​a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered: "Sixth brother, you're really early today."

"I haven't seen you be so active on my second brother's birthday before."

Ling Xu was obviously provoking, and Ling Tian rolled his eyes at him: "Third brother, what you said is wrong. Who said I don't care?"

"I would like to care."

"Don't you want to think about it? I have been imprisoned before."

"Even if you want to see your second brother, it's hard."

"On the contrary, Third Brother came really early today."

Ling Xu's expression changed slightly: "Sixth brother, why do you have to be so distant with Third Brother? After all, Third Brother knows that you are going to the coastal area, and he has arranged a lot for you."

kindness?

Ling Tian tilted his head: "Third brother, you know I'm leaving, shouldn't you be very happy?"

"After all, as long as I'm not here, this is your world, Third Brother."

"Otherwise, if I stay here, you will be so worried, Third Brother. What if you get unhappy one day and find a killer to assassinate me?"

"you……"

No matter how good-tempered Ling Xu was, he couldn't stand Ling Tian's provocation: "Sixth brother, how can you say that?"

"Third brother is..."

"Third brother." Ling Tian interrupted Ling Xu: "I know you want to do this for my own good, but you really scared me in the hunting ground that day."

Ling Xu's eyelids trembled violently, and he wished he could beat Ling Tian to death with one punch.

"Hahaha."

Ling Yu's voice also came over: "Third brother, I told you a long time ago that Sixth Brother is timid and can't stand being scared by you."

"Now my sixth brother is about to go to the coast. What if you scare him?"

"I……"

Ling Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Second brother, wasn't it because I saw my sixth brother being assassinated that I had no place to vent my anger?"

"Ah."

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Are you just venting your anger, or do you have any other ideas?"

"Second brother, I don't understand what you are talking about." Ling Xu's eyes were full of gloom, but before Ling Yu could say anything, he saw Concubine Han bringing Ling Hong over, and when he saw Concubine Han.

There was a hint of heat in Ling Xu's eyes.

Ling Hong had a listless look on his face, but when he saw Ling Tian, ​​he trotted over and said, "Sixth brother, you came really early. The soap you gave me is really useful."

"I'll get you some next time I have a chance." Ling Tian didn't have any bad intentions towards Ling Hong. After all, he didn't provoke him.

Han Guiren stepped forward and glanced at Ling Tian, ​​then turned to look at Ling Yu: "Your Highness, it's great that you can come."

"Mr. Han, you are too polite. Father always teaches us to live in harmony." Ling Yu said, "I am just doing what I should do. Besides, today is my eighteenth brother's big day."

"How could I not come?"

Han Guiren smiled politely, but a sharp voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Follow the sound and look.

Emperor Wu, accompanied by several other princes, concubines and ministers, walked slowly towards them. Just by standing there, a wave of oppression emerged, making it hard for people to breathe.

Several people hurriedly saluted, but Emperor Wu snorted lightly, his eyes swept around, and finally landed on Ling Hong: "Hong'er, come here."

"Father."

Ling Hong stepped forward and bowed. Emperor Wu nodded, took out a hairband from his arms and put it on Old Eighteen himself. He patted Old Eighteen's forehead and said, "Hong'er, you are already nine years old today."

"We Daqian men use nine as our boundary."

"You can tell me what you wish for today."

"Really?"

Ling Hong seemed very happy, and Han Guiren quickly scolded him: "Hong'er, don't talk nonsense."

Emperor Wu seemed to be in a good mood: "I am the emperor, and once I say something, I cannot take it back!"

"it is good."

Ling Hong said decisively: "Father, I only hope that you will agree to let me follow my sixth brother to the coast."

"Suppress the Japanese pirates!"
