Emperor Chu snorted and said, "Do you really think that I don't know anything about your little private actions?"
Prince Feng immediately shook his head and said, "I am wronged. Father, please listen to my explanation!"
Emperor Chu glanced at Prince Feng who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, I want to hear what else you have to explain to me."
Prince Feng stood up angrily and explained: "It was Xu Qing, the Marquis of Anding County, who asked Erchen to do this. He wanted to balance the merits and demerits, and it had nothing to do with Erchen."
Emperor Chu asked: "Does it really have nothing to do with it?"
Prince Feng insisted: "It really has nothing to do with me. I am forced to do this. Please give me a clear warning from my father."
Emperor Chu sighed and said, "Let's go down for now."
Prince Feng immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will retire."
After King Feng retreated, Emperor Chu turned around and walked up to the dragon chair and sat down again. Looking at the empty hall, he murmured: "I can't believe that I, who have been an emperor for more than ten years, actually taught an emperor.
A son who doesn’t want to be an emperor is here, is my position as the crown prince of Chu really so terrifying?"
Wei Zhong, who has been accompanying the Emperor of Chu, said: "His Royal Highness Prince Feng must have felt that he was inexperienced and was afraid that he would be ashamed of his position as the crown prince, so he made this move. Your Majesty, please be at ease."
Emperor Chu smiled and said: "That's really how it is. These little guys are really big as little ghosts. That's all. After the emperor came back from the war, state affairs were not as heavy as before. He was in Kunning Palace.
I haven’t eaten dim sum from the Queen’s Palace for a while, so I’m going to try it today.”
Outside Qinzheng Palace
King Qi looked at King Feng who came out and asked: "How is the injury of the emperor's brother? Is it important? The Marquis of Anding County is so arrogant and arrogant that he dares to beat the emperor's brother like this. It's really abominable!
"
Prince Feng held his left arm wrapped in gauze and said, "My brother is not seriously ill. Brother Youlao, I am worried about you."
The King of Qi waved his hand and said: "Hey——, why are you and I brothers so polite? When my brother takes the position of crown prince, I will definitely make the Marquis of Anding County look good! When the time comes, my brother will definitely treat the emperor's brother ruthlessly.
Let out this bad breath."
Prince Feng forced a smile on his lips and said, "Then I would like to congratulate my brother on your victory. You are about to succeed."
King Qi patted King Feng on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, by then you and I will share the glory and wealth."
Prince Feng said: "My brother has to go back to his hometown to change his dressing. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you for a while, ah..."
King Qi nodded and said: "Okay, the emperor's brother will go back to his hometown to recuperate for the time being. The grievances the emperor's brother suffered today will be repaid tenfold for the emperor's brother."
Think about your faults in front of the wall, reflect at home, and do not enter the palace without being summoned.
This is a big punishment for the powerful ministers who have many party members in the DPRK and China. If they are not allowed to go to court, they will not be able to know the situation in the DPRK and China in the first time, and the party members around them will also act as helpers to find a new home for themselves.
But for Xu Qing, the dean of the State Business Academy who has never been part of the imperial bureaucracy...
Not only does it not matter, the more such punishments the better.
Originally, after Zhou Guo's peace envoy arrived, he, the deputy peace envoy, had to go to court one after another, because as soon as the weather got warmer, the peace talks would start, and the courtiers would always be brainstorming ideas.
But now he can stay at home again, which is simply a blessing.
Xu Qing, who rode back to Andinghou Mansion on horseback, once again spent time with his wife and teasing Xueer. His life was extremely comfortable.
Since the last time Xiao Ruxue lost interest because she couldn't eat fresh green vegetables in winter, Xu Qing built a greenhouse in Guoshangyuan to grow vegetables in winter, a season when fresh vegetables are not available.
It has been a month since the greenhouse was built. Some of the vegetables grown in the greenhouse have matured and can be picked and fried.
Under Xu Qing's guidance, Xiao Ruxue picked some of her favorite green vegetables and followed Xu Qing out of the greenhouse.
Just when he was about to leave the greenhouse door, Xiao Ruxue suddenly stopped him: "Xu Qing Xu Qing!"
When Xu Qing turned around, he saw Xiao Ruxue who looked embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruxue said pitifully: "My feet are stuck in the wet mud and can't get out."
Seeing this, Xu Qing reached out and took Xiao Ruxue's little hand and pulled it out, but Xiao Ruxue's boots were already covered with mud stains, and some even stuck to the hem of the light cyan clothes.
Xu Qing said: "Go and change clothes quickly, I'll go cook."
Xiao Ruxue agreed and ran to her room.
Now she also has her own residence in Andinghou Mansion, and she has carefully decorated it herself. Everywhere in the room is pink and pink, as pink as the little girl herself.
There are also some of her own clothes in the closet in the room for her own change.
The little girl went to change clothes, and Xu Qing went to the kitchen to cook. The lady hadn't had fresh vegetables picked from the fields for a long time, so she could cook more this time.
By growing his own vegetables and eating them himself, Xu Qing can be considered as living a semi-rural life.
While Xu Qing was cooking, Xiao Ruxue, who had changed her clothes, jumped over, looked at Xu Qing and said: "Xu Qing, this is the only pair of shoes I have. Can you accompany me to the capital to buy a pair of shoes later?"
?I know there is a shop in the capital that makes particularly good-looking shoes."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "This is not possible."
Xiao Ruxue pouted and said, "Why not?"
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty asked me to think about my faults in front of the wall at home. If I go out at this time, people will bump into me, but I will be read in the court."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, her bun almost stood up: "Did you make a mistake?"
Xu Qing said: "That's right. In short, don't go out during these days. Even if you want to do something, you have to do something decent."
After eating today, Xiao Ruxue did not go to Xuan'er to play around as usual, which made Xuan'er feel a little uncomfortable. Xu Qing thought she had listened and went out to buy shoes.
in the palace
After Xiao Ruxue walked into the palace gate, she went straight to the Tai Chi Palace where Emperor Chu rested. There was not even a guard who dared to stop her along the way.
Just when Xiao Ruxue passed by the Qinzheng Hall, she heard several eunuchs talking.
"Have you heard? The Marquis of Anding, who is the most popular person in the court, was punished by His Majesty and was banned from going to court."
"What you said makes it sound like the Marquis of Anding County went to court. Why?"
"He beat His Highness Prince Feng so hard that his forehead and left arm were wrapped in gauze."
"Isn't the Marquis of Anding County quite gentle on weekdays? Why would he fight against His Highness Prince Feng?"
"I heard that it was His Highness Prince Feng who first said rudely that the Marquis of Anding County was born with a mud-legged background and could not get on the stage, so the Marquis of Anding County was too angry..."
