The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

The emperor looked at Prince Yi and said in an unrecognizable voice: "Zhao Xiaoshi is a small soldier under General Chang. Zhao Xiaoshi's meritorious service can also be regarded as General Chang's meritorious service."

Prince Yi snorted disdainfully, "Brother, this is true, but Chang Heng reported false information to you, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor! Moreover, even if it is General Chang's merit, the situation is different and the merit is different. Moreover, we cannot completely ignore the achievements of Zhao Xiaoshi.

If every talented person who is willing to sacrifice and make great contributions to Daxia is not treated fairly, wouldn't it be like the people of Daxia are going to give their all to Daxia? My brother, the impact of this matter does not lie in the size of the individual's contribution, but in the overall, social negative impact it brings."

My brother is really confused! Because the Chang family is the third prince's in-laws, he excuses them.

Because of Concubine Liang Shufei, the emperor is still very partial to the third prince.

Sometimes he really felt that there was something wrong with his brother's eyes. Empress Wei was more beautiful than Concubine Shu, and she was also very dignified, virtuous, and wise. But his brother just liked Concubine Shu, who was pretentious, a hypocritical person.

Thinking about the scene two years ago, Prince Yi still couldn't believe that the crown prince would rebel.

Alas, what a pity for his two handsome nephews.

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded, "Yier has some truth in what he said."

Prince Yi pointed to his head and said proudly: "Brother Your Majesty, although I am lazy, my mind is the clearest."

The emperor laughed and said, "You just flatter yourself!"

As the emperor was laughing, he suddenly remembered something and said softly: "You haven't visited your mother for a long time. Take some time to visit her so that she won't miss you."

"No!" Prince Yi stiffened his neck, looking stubborn, "She despises me for being useless and ugly, so I'd better not cause trouble for her."

Ever since he could remember, his mother told him that if he encountered danger, he must stand in front of his brother, because his brother was going to be the emperor in the future and no accidents could happen.

So, when he was six years old, he blocked a hot teacup for his royal brother; when he was eight years old, he blocked an arrow for his royal brother; when he was nine years old, he blocked a hidden weapon for his royal brother; when he was ten years old, he blocked a handful of poison powder for his royal brother; when he was thirteen years old, he blocked a falling wooden beam for his royal brother; when he was fifteen years old, he blocked a knife for his brother, resulting in facial disfigurement.

From beginning to end, his mother only had her brother in her eyes.

After his face was disfigured, he thought his mother would sympathize with him and hold him in her arms and comfort him tenderly, but her first reaction when she saw his face was to vomit.

In the future, whenever he goes to see the queen mother, he must wear a mask. This is her requirement.

No one knew that, in fact, he saw deep-hidden disgust in his mother's eyes.

That look of disdain was like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart, popping out from time to time to torment him.

From then on, he knew that in his mother's eyes, he was just a tool to help his brother win the struggle for imperial power.

When he had a good face, he could protect his brother, and when his brother was unfortunately killed, he could continue to fight for the throne and become the next bargaining chip for his mother. But his face was ruined, and he no longer had this function.

No matter how he tried to please his mother, he could not get her love, so he stopped getting close to her.

He learned how to please his elder brother, the Emperor, because doing so could save his life.

The emperor sighed helplessly, "Why are you being so awkward? How can there be any overnight hatred between mother and son?"

Before Prince Yi could respond, the eunuch's loud announcement came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince wishes to see you."

The emperor's face lit up with joy, and his voice became lighter, "Let him in."

Prince Yi stood up and bowed, saying, "Brother, do you have anything else to discuss with me? If not, I will take my leave now."

He didn't want to see the fake face of the Third Prince, and he was too lazy to deal with him.

Besides, it would be inconvenient for him to stay here while the father and son were plotting something.

The emperor nodded, "Okay, you can go down. Take it easy with your melon shop."

“Oh, Royal brother, I am not afraid of anything as long as you support me. Don’t worry, I will never do anything harmful to the royal family and the Great Xia court.” After saying that, Prince Yi playfully made a heart sign to the emperor and turned away.

He learned this move from Gu Qinghuai and it is very useful.

The emperor laughed, "You are so old, but you still act like a child!"

Prince Yi walked out of the main gate of Zhonghe Hall and passed by the third prince. The third prince Qi Yuanyu had a handsome face and elegant manners. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to those of Concubine Liang Shufei. His eyebrows were willow-shaped and the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, which was what later generations often called innocent eyes.

Prince Yi ignored him and walked forward, but the Third Prince stopped him, "Little Uncle!"

"What's the matter?" Prince Yi turned around, his tone somewhat impatient.

The third prince smiled and said, "Nothing, but when a junior meets an elder, he must naturally bow."

Prince Yi curled his lips, turned and left.

The smile on the Third Prince's face gradually froze, and a cold light slowly appeared in his eyes after the smile faded away.

He just found out that the owner of the shop selling "Young Hero" was actually the emperor's uncle.

What does it mean when the young uncle touches his people?

He had investigated and found that the young uncle had no connection with the eldest and fourth brothers, so he should not be helping them deal with him.

What surprised him even more was that the young uncle was actually very close to the newly appointed Princess of Qinghe County.

The Princess of Qinghe County was from Qinghe County, which was adjacent to Beilu County. Could it be that she told her young uncle Zhao Xiaoshi about his search for a horse?

If this is true, why does Princess Qinghe know it in such detail?

Seeing that the Third Prince was still stunned, Eunuch Tian said respectfully: "The Third Prince invites you. The Emperor is waiting for you."

The third prince turned around, straightened his expression, and walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty!" The third prince bowed to the emperor.

The emperor looked him up and down, with a loving smile on his face: "Yu'er, please stand up. Please take a seat!"

The Third Prince sat on a chair nearby and asked with concern, "How is Father's health these days?"

The emperor sighed, "It's still the same as always, I get tired easily and feel chest tightness."

The Third Prince's face showed worry. "What did the imperial physician say?"

The emperor waved his hand, "It's the same old story. Stop talking about me. Why did you come to see me today?"

The Third Prince asked, "Father, have you read the book "Young Heroes" that has been circulating in the imperial capital recently?"

"I have read it," the emperor nodded, his face becoming stern, "Chang Heng falsely reported his achievements and deceived me!"

The Third Prince's face changed slightly. "Father, Zhao Xiaoshi was a small soldier under General Chang. Even if General Chang exaggerated when he described his achievements, it was to enhance the prestige of our army and strengthen our country's courage. He did not do anything wrong. I hope Father will forgive him."
