After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

The emperor smiled and said, "You're welcome, Xiaowu. Are you used to everything in the Imperial Study?"

The Fifth Prince nodded his little head, his chubby face serious as he said, "In reply to your Majesty, I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern."

The emperor felt a little strange and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu's attitude towards me was not the same yesterday. Why is there such a big change today?"

The fifth prince said seriously, "It was taught by the Master. Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, the Parents, the Teacher. I, your son, should respect your father."

"Besides, today we were in the Imperial Study, where the emperor and his subjects came first. Yesterday we were in the Yanxi Palace, where father and son came first. As a son, I should pay attention."

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at the fifth prince with increasing satisfaction.

His Xiaowu... is really good!

"Good, good, very good." The emperor smiled and said, "Go and have fun. I have something to ask your teacher."

The fifth prince bowed and left with the palace maid.

The Fifth Prince's teacher had been waiting for a long time, and only now dared to step forward and salute, "This old minister pays his respects to Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said, "How did the Fifth Prince perform?"

The teacher in the imperial study was already an old man with a white beard, but his eyes were sharp. When he heard the fifth prince, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"In reply to Your Majesty, although the Fifth Prince is young, he has a heart for learning, is quite talented and willing to learn, and is humble..." The old man started praising him endlessly.

Finally, he concluded, "The Fifth Prince is the second most gifted and brilliant child I've ever met."

"The second one?" The emperor was very satisfied with the fifth prince when he heard the praise, but he was still shocked by such words and asked subconsciously.

The old man nodded and said, "The first one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The emperor's brows grew colder, and then he said, "I understand."

The emperor chatted with the old man for a few more words before leaving the imperial study.

He walked silently towards the Yangxin Palace. Li Dajian followed behind him and did not dare to say a word, but he could see that His Majesty was worried.

Suddenly, the emperor sighed, "If Xiaowu were a few years older..."

He didn't even consider the third prince at the time!

Thinking of this, the emperor felt somewhat relieved that it was the third child who got into trouble, not the fifth child...

Eunuch Li lowered his head even more, pretending not to hear what the emperor said.

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried towards the emperor and reported, "Your Majesty, news has come from the Third Prince's residence. The Third Prince is unconscious and keeps calling out 'Father.' The Imperial Physician said that if Your Majesty could go and see him, it might be helpful for his recovery."

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked unhappy.

Li Dajian immediately shouted: "Back off!"

The young eunuch dared not say a word, knowing that he should not help spread such words, and immediately crawled back.

He clearly remembered that His Majesty loved the Third Prince very much in the past. Otherwise, he would not have dared...

"I am overwhelmed with affairs of state. As a son, he is not only unable to share my worries, but he also bothers me with his own trivial matters, making me worry about him..." The emperor said, "He is really becoming more and more ignorant."

Li Dajian quickly said yes.

The emperor asked again, "How is the investigation going? Is there any news from Pei Chen?"

Li Dajian hurriedly said: "In reply to your Majesty, the Third Prince stayed in the other courtyard yesterday, and there were not many people with him, so there has been no progress on the side of the Zhenbei Marquis.

The emperor frowned, "Why would he go to the other courtyard for no reason?"

This……

The expression on Li Dajian's face was a little embarrassed. The real culprit behind this incident has not been found out yet, but the reason why the third prince went to the villa has been confirmed.

Li Dajian whispered, "The Third Prince has a mistress in his other courtyard."

emperor:"???"

He suddenly stopped and looked at Li Dajian in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Li Dajian gritted his teeth and spoke again, "I heard that it was Grand Tutor Xuan who hinted to Your Highness that you should keep yourself clean. That's why Your Highness..."

"In order to prevent Grand Tutor Xuan from knowing, the Third Prince always disguises himself and goes quietly whenever he goes to the other courtyard..."

When Li Dajian said this, the emperor's expression had become very ugly.

He sneered and said, "He really is my good son! He doesn't even listen to what I say on a normal day so seriously."

"He actually took Master Xuan's words as his guiding principle."

Eunuch Li wished he could find a hole in the ground to bury his head in. Your Majesty's words... were too serious.

He did not hide his opinions about the Third Prince and Grand Tutor Xuan at all.

Li Dajian knew clearly that not only did His Majesty no longer have any hope in the Third Prince, but it was also impossible for Grand Tutor Xuan to have any chance of being reused by His Majesty in the future.

Although His Majesty is now completely disappointed with the Third Prince, the Third Prince is still His Majesty's child after all.

No matter how much His Majesty blames his own child, he will find excuses for the child, and Taifu Xuan happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Of course, Li Dajian would never be proud of himself in this matter. He just made some small contributions...that's all.

Li Dajian did not say anything, and even tried to comfort the emperor at this moment, "Your Majesty, calm down. Grand Tutor Xuan has taught the Third Prince for many years. After all, the Third Prince is still young, so it is normal for him to feel grateful..."

Li Dajian's words made the emperor even angrier. He sneered, "Old Third is young, but Grand Tutor Xuan is definitely not young!"

"He's even more arrogant than me, his own father!"

Li Dajian lowered his head silently and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing more, but his sullen expression proved that he was in a very bad mood.

He turned around and walked in another direction, saying, "Let's go to Yanxi Palace!"

……

The Third Prince's Mansion.

The situation in the palace was slightly different from what the emperor knew. For example... the third prince was not drowsy, he was awake.

But the whole person was very weak.

He was already awake, but he wished he could faint again!

The thought that he had lost the most important thing for a man, not only was there no possibility of renewing it in this life, but also that everyone knew about it...

He just wants to die!

He was staring at the door, his face pale and his lips trembling, "Didn't the emperor...come to see me?"

This……

The people inside and outside the room looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads...

"Speak!" The third prince's voice trembled and he shouted again in disbelief. If it were usual, he would naturally understand the silence of the crowd.

But perhaps because of his injury, the Third Prince was even a little confused, and he looked like he had to get an answer.

"Father loves me so much, why wouldn't he come?" The Third Prince's lips trembled in disbelief, tears welling in his eyes. "You...you didn't tell Father about this?"

"You all, go and tell Father about this immediately!" The Third Prince's eyes swept over everyone, his weak voice filled with anxiety, "Go, go now! Go quickly!"

"Your Highness!" At this moment, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion knelt on the ground and cried, "I have already told His Majesty..."

"Nonsense!" The Third Prince picked up something nearby and threw it at the steward. "There's no way my father wouldn't just ignore me..."

For his sake, the emperor even called the doctor who saved the unconscious Xiao Ji's life. How could he not come to see him in person?

Father clearly, clearly has high hopes for him...

The steward knelt on the ground. Even when the Third Prince threw things at him, he did not dare to resist and could only passively endure it.

The third prince was already weak, and after making such a fuss for a while, he felt even weaker and had no strength to smash things anymore.

In fact, the things he just smashed hardly hit the manager.

He lay on the bed, panting, "Get out, all of you!"

The room soon became quiet.

The Third Prince's anger had finally subsided. He looked at the only remaining steward and asked, "Where is the Grand Tutor?"

The steward lowered his head and spoke in a very low voice, "To reply to Your Highness, the Grand Tutor...did not come."

boom!

The third prince was so angry that he smashed something again, and his expression was extremely ugly!

The steward whispered, "Early this morning, Taifu Xuan came to the palace to plead with His Majesty, and asked the palace physician from the Crown Prince's Mansion to come and treat His Highness."

"But until now... the Grand Tutor has not come to the palace."

The Third Prince clenched his fists, his tone cold and grim, sounding even angrier than if the Emperor hadn't come. "How could he not come?"

The steward didn't dare to answer at all.

The Third Prince practically gnashed his teeth and said, "Send a message immediately, have him come over!"

The words about asking the emperor to come over were said in front of everyone just now, but now these words were said in front of his confidants.

There was some acting in what I said just now, but now everything I said came from my heart.

"Yes." The steward did not dare to delay and went to deliver the message immediately.

The third prince was extremely tired, but he was unwilling to close his eyes and rest. At this moment, his eyes were burning as he stared at the door.

The attitude of waiting for someone is very obvious.

But in the end, the only person who came was the steward who walked in with his head lowered.

The Third Prince forced himself to look behind the steward.

There is no one at all!

The Third Prince's expression froze, his lips trembling, his voice slightly frantic, "Where are the people?"

The steward's knees softened and he knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, the Grand Tutor said that the matter of the other courtyard is still, still..."

Villa...

When these two words were mentioned, murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the third prince!

If it weren't for the other courtyard...how could something like this happen to him?

At this moment, the Third Prince felt that his anger had completely overwhelmed his rationality. He immediately asked, "Have you dealt with all the people?"

The steward said respectfully, "Your Highness, the matter has been dealt with."

When His Highness encountered such an incident in the villa, the villa immediately dealt with it. The man was already dead, and the villa was burned to ashes...

After hearing the steward's answer, the third prince still did not feel relieved, and his heart was filled with anger and hatred.

Even if I crush those people to dust ten, a hundred, a thousand times...

What he lost can never be regained!

Thinking of this... the Third Prince even felt resentful towards Grand Tutor Xuan. If it weren't for Grand Tutor Xuan, how could he secretly keep a mistress?

Although Taifu Xuan did not make such a request to him, he did this because of the Xuan family.

Because he wanted the Xuan family to know that he was devoted to Xuan Yue, and he also wanted Taifu Xuan to see his sincerity and assist him wholeheartedly.

After all, he is a man, and a noble prince, with high hopes placed on him by his father! His future is the supreme throne, so how could it be that there is only Xuan Yue?

However, Xuan Yue was jealous and did not take the initiative to prepare a concubine for him, which forced him to keep a mistress outside. In order to avoid being discovered by the Xuan family, he disguised himself to meet people.

When the Third Prince thought about this, he became more and more convinced of one thing: the Xuan family had an unshirkable responsibility for his misfortune!

Now he hasn't blamed the Xuan family yet, but Master Xuan is using this incident as an excuse to cause trouble for him?

He is a prince!

The future crown prince!

The Third Prince was so angry that his vision went dark, his wounds began to ache again, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

The pain made me want to faint, but I woke up because of it.

"you."

The Third Prince looked at the steward and said, "Send the night-shining pearls in the warehouse to the Xuan family."

He thought that Taifu and Xuan Yue... would understand what he meant!

The Xuan family can't wait to get rid of him?

That's impossible!

"Yes." The steward quickly turned around to deliver the night pearl.

The third prince's guess was correct. As soon as Master Xuan saw the night pearl, he understood what the third prince meant.

With a sullen face, he sent away the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion, and then he got very angry.

boom!

"This is too much!" Taifu Xuan looked extremely ugly and slapped the table.

He has only two legitimate daughters, both born to his first wife. They are his precious daughters who he has loved and raised since childhood. He has tried his best to find a good home for both of them.

Although he was the Grand Tutor, he saw through the Crown Prince's unpopularity and placed his hopes on the Third Prince instead.

The third prince was chosen for the eldest daughter. If the third prince goes one step further... then the eldest daughter will be the queen.

For his second daughter, he had originally chosen the Marquis of Zhenbei, but someone else got there first.

I originally thought that since my eldest daughter would become the queen in the future, I could easily arrange a good marriage for my second daughter.

But I didn't expect...

Now this has also caused problems.

It would be fine if the Third Prince had gotten into trouble, but it was such a big thing. Such a big thing would not be a big deal, but he had to go find a concubine!

In front of him, she pretended to be in love with Xuan Yue, but secretly she was keeping a mistress...

Master Xuan was so angry that he almost fainted just thinking about it!

He was naturally angry and blamed the Third Prince, but the Third Prince's current intention... was that he was still unwilling to let Xuan Yue go?

This huge night-shining pearl was originally the engagement gift agreed upon earlier.

The Third Prince's meaning is self-evident.

"Daddy." At this moment, a gentle voice sounded, and a light blue figure walked in gracefully.

It was Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue's gaze fell on the Night Pearl, and he paused for a moment before saying, "Is this what the Third Prince meant?"

"Don't be afraid, Yue'er." Grand Tutor Xuan said, "Your father will find a way to deal with this matter. You will definitely not be allowed to marry into the Third Prince's mansion."

"Father." Xuan Yue waited patiently for Grand Tutor Xuan to finish before speaking softly, "The Third Prince has made up his mind. He has suffered such a misfortune. As long as the Third Prince doesn't give in, His Majesty will not allow this marriage to be cancelled."

After all, when this marriage was decided, it was Grand Tutor Xuan and the Third Prince who went to His Majesty together to ask for the marriage.

Master Xuan's expression froze for a moment, and then he comforted his daughter, "Don't be afraid, you have your father."

Xuan Yue shook her head, "Dad, I know you're doing this for me, but I don't want to embarrass you."

"My daughter is willing to marry him."
