Is the prince abolished today?

The penalty of kneeling for three days set by Emperor Changping does not need to be kneeling all night. After the unitary hour and night falls, the princes can go back to rest and report back tomorrow morning.

"Eldest prince, the Empress has already prepared dinner in Fengyi Palace, and I have sent my servant to invite you to dinner."

Empress Ji's confidant, the eunuch, had been waiting by the side for a long time. Seeing that the time was up, she immediately stepped forward to help Mu Jue get up, and asked the palace servants to carry the shoulder pads that could not even stand because she had knelt for a day. The eldest prince who got up went to Fengyi Palace.

Almost at the same time, the maid in charge of Concubine Su's palace also came with a reclining chair: "Second prince, the imperial concubine has prepared dinner and your favorite pastries in Qingjia Palace, and specially ordered the servants to invite the prince over. Prince, you have suffered."

The maid said with red eyes.

Mu Xiao's face darkened, I didn't suffer, my heart was broken.

I prepared for so long, waited for so long, in the end, my idol didn't even look at me!

Some people even got two hawthorn pills that invigorate the stomach and eliminate food!

The third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince were also quickly called away by their own mothers.Even Mu Qi, who had the least sense of existence, happily threw himself into the arms of Lin Cairen who came to pick up his son in person.

"Qi, Qi'er are ignorant, and took His Highness's things indiscriminately. I hope His Highness has a lot of them, so don't be as knowledgeable as him. Concubine, concubine is here to apologize to His Highness."

At a distance of three steps, Lin Cairen timidly brought the cushion and the pair of knee pads to Mu Yun, saluted hurriedly, and dragged Mu Qi away in a hurry.

After walking out of Chengqing Hall, Lin Cairen reprimanded his son in shock: "You are stupid, you dare to eat what the prince gave you, what if there is poison in those biscuits! He is a former prince, and you There is no brotherhood at all, and I even wish to get rid of you, His Majesty's own princes, so you should be more careful!"

The palace people who held the lamps had already begun to light lamps for each hall one by one.

Gao Jili looked at the little Highness who was still kneeling alone on a piece of gravel, and coaxed with some distress: "Your Highness, why don't we go back too? I heard that there is a temple fair at the west gate today, and it's very lively."

"No, Gu can't leave yet."

The boy clenched his fist, and there were small flames in his eyes.

Gao Jili: Huh?

His Royal Highness said confidently, "I haven't got the title deed for the mansion in the suburbs of Gujing yet."

It is agreed to kneel down for one day, and the bill will be settled on the same day.

Dare not to give it, hum!

"This old servant has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Fulai came out of the Chengqing Palace with a smile on his face. Just halfway through the ceremony, he saw the young man stretching out his hand impatiently: "No, what about the land deed?"

Wang Fulai: "..."

Wang Fulai: "Well, it's like this, Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty knows that His Highness must be exhausted after kneeling for a day, so he specially prepared hot soup and dinner in the Chengqing Hall, and waited for His Highness to go over to eat. Wait. It’s the same if you’re full first, and then you get the title deed.”

Emperor Changping originally accepted the invitation of Empress Ji to go to Fengyi Palace for dinner, but as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw other princes had their own mothers to pick them up, and the prince was left kneeling there alone, looking at the Poor, he changed his mind temporarily and asked the imperial dining room to directly serve the dinner in the Chengqing Hall.

Nine dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, are all nutritious and good for growth, which is higher than the standard of meals that Emperor Changping usually ate.

"How? Is it still to your taste?"

Emperor Changping looked at Mu Yun who was gnawing on a pig's trotter with no expression on his face, and asked a little nervously.

Mu Yun gave a perfunctory "Yes", and continued to gnaw expressionlessly. After gnawing, he casually wiped his hands on his robe, and asked for the eighth time: "Where's the land deed?"

Emperor Changping: "..."

This kid, why is he taking advantage of money?

"Wang Fulai, go to my private treasury immediately and get the land deed of Mingxiu Villa."

In front of so many palace people, Emperor Changping didn't want to get the reputation of "deceitful and deceitful children".

Wang Fulai was slightly surprised.

Mingxiu Villa was awarded to His Majesty by Emperor Wen when His Majesty was the prince. It was built in the best location in the suburbs of Beijing. Just like its name, it has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is excellent.There is a steaming natural hot spring in Zhuangzi. You can take a bath frequently, which can strengthen your body and beautify your face. Chronic diseases such as old cold legs, rheumatism, and arthritis can all be cured without treatment.Previously, Empress Ji wanted to take the frail first prince to take a dip, but His Majesty didn't let go of her promise.This time... unexpectedly gave it to the crown prince as a gift so casually?

Although His Majesty has reasonable reasons for doing this, isn't it too conspicuous?It should be uncomfortable to spread to some people's ears.

"If you are told to go, you can go. What are you dawdling about? I am the emperor. Do you still have to look at other people's faces when you give a gift?"

Emperor Changping lowered his face in displeasure. Obviously, Wang Fulai's reaction brought back some unpleasant memories in him.

"Yes, Your Majesty calm down, it's all because the slaves are confused."

Wang Fulai also suddenly recalled, yes, although it has only been three short years, the situation in the court is now under His Majesty's absolute control, and all civil and military officials are also loyal to His Majesty, obedient and obedient, No one or any family can control His Majesty's will anymore.As long as His Majesty is willing, no one can control him, let alone a Zhuangzi, even a mountain of gold and silver.

After eating the pig's trotters, Mu Yun drank two mouthfuls of creamy mushroom soup, put his chin on his hands, and sat on the stool obediently waiting for Wang Fulai to come back.

"cough."

"I know that Ding Beihou's return to Beijing this time has caused you a lot of psychological pressure."

Emperor Changping cleared his throat, trying to find something to say, and break the awkward atmosphere lingering around the food table.

After all, the scene of Marquis Hou angrily pinching the little prince's wrist in Chengqing Palace this afternoon was widely circulated by the courtiers and ministers, and Emperor Changping inevitably listened to it a few times.

He was very worried about the prince's physical condition and psychological condition, so he took the initiative to mention it and wanted to know about the situation.

Who doesn't have a problem with short-term protection?

However, the boy on the opposite side only rolled his eyelids lazily, as if he didn't want to talk to him about the world.

Emperor Changping could only continue the topic alone: ​​"Don't worry, Marquis Dingbei is not an unreasonable person. I have already told him not to make things difficult for you. He..."

"Humph!"

"Why is Wang Fulai so slow!"

The young man suddenly complained irritablely, he only had money in his eyes.

"..."

Emperor Changping's Adam's apple rolled twice, and he had no choice but to temporarily end the topic.

……

"What did you say? Your Majesty is not coming to Fengyi Palace anymore, and you want to have dinner with the crown prince in Chengqing Palace?"

Hearing the news from the servant, Empress Ji was stunned.

She specially dressed up, and personally cooked a table of home-cooked dishes that Emperor Changping loved to eat. She waited and waited for someone to warm the dishes twice, but she did not expect this to be the result.

"Did you tell Your Majesty that the Palace and the First Prince are waiting here, why did Your Majesty not come all of a sudden?" Empress Ji still couldn't believe it.Although the relationship between her and Emperor Changping has gradually weakened over the years, because she loves the frail eldest son of the emperor, usually as long as Mu Jue is around, Emperor Changping will come to Fengyi Palace for dinner no matter how busy the government affairs are.Sometimes stay overnight.

"Back to your empress, the servant has already said it. Your Majesty said, let the empress and the eldest prince use it first, and he will come to see the eldest prince next time. And... there is one more thing, the servant does not know whether to say it or not."

Empress Ji nodded: "Speak quickly."

She couldn't wait to know what was going on in Chengqing Hall.

The servant looked at the face of the master and said: "I heard from Xiao Anzi, who is serving His Majesty, that Your Majesty, Your Majesty will give Mingxiu Villa as a gift to the Prince."

"This...how is this possible!"

Empress Ji could no longer maintain her composure.

Didn't His Majesty deliberately show favoritism to the prince in order to attract Di Ting?But to hand over Mingxiu Villa, isn't this kind of favoritism too much?

"What happened to the queen mother?"

After bathing and grooming, Mu Jue was already in good spirits. Seeing Empress Ji walking into the palace in a daze, she hurriedly got up and helped her sit down, and asked worriedly.

Empress Ji was silent and did not speak. After a long time, she suddenly stroked the back of her son's hand and said, "Yurun, have you found the golden silk soft armor that your mother asked you to find?"

Mu Jue nodded, and said with scruples: "How dare I neglect my mother's order, I was found out yesterday. It's just..."

"There's nothing just."

Empress Ji interrupted her son: "The queen mother is incompetent, and your grandfather's family is thin. Now the only one in the court who can fight against the Su family is Wei Zhao, so we can only rely on Wei Zhao. Besides, Wei Zhao has a relationship with the crown prince." Old grievances, in the future you don’t need to do anything, he will take the initiative to help you clear up that scourge.”

"After these two days, find a suitable time, and the queen mother will try to make you worship Wei Zhao as your teacher."

"That golden silk soft armor, let's take it as your apprenticeship ceremony."
