Chapter 12 The Prince

Wangchun Garden is an palace built by the emperor for Concubine Zhao. It is located in the western suburbs of the capital. At first, the two of them spent more than half of the year. In recent years, the emperor was in poor health and was too lazy to move and no longer left the palace.
The third prince loved reading and asked the emperor for Wangchun Garden. He left the palace and lived there. He was like a fish in water. He became more and more obsessed. He was not satisfied with studying alone and wanted to prepare a literary meeting.
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace in spring, a pavilion was full of flowers, veils hanging from all sides, revealing the figures of people lying on the inside. A group of eunuchs with Kabuki holding various instruments retreated aside, and the dance music was obviously interrupted.
There were not many people who could interrupt the emperor to enjoy the dance music, except for the imperial concubine, the crown prince, and the third prince.
"Father, I have already thought about it. The rewards set up at that time must be unique."
A young man in his early twenties had a pretty face and a weak complexion. He was casually tied with a wooden hairpin. His clothes were wide and seemed to be incompatible. He seemed to have hurriedly pulled a piece of clothing on him and rushed over. But when he said this, he waved his hands, his eyebrows and eyes were full of energy.
"Reward, reward, reward gold, silver and jewelry, is inappropriate, reward precious or reward, reward father, do you write a handwritten copy?"
The emperor who seemed to be asleep in the pavilion snorted: "Why did you ask me to give me a reward?"
The third prince smiled: "Of course, you are the best-school master."
The emperor sneered: "No, I heard that you told people that my knowledge is very poor and my poetry is not well understood."
The third prince reached out and grabbed his hair bun: "Have I said it? I forgot, but Father, your talent is indeed not very good."
The eunuchs on both sides were used to watching their noses and their hearts, and they were used to it. This is how the third prince was - frivolous.
With a bang, a wine pot was smashed out of the gauze curtain. Fortunately, the wine pot was empty and only the smell of wine fell on the third prince.
"Gogun." The emperor scolded, "What's so proud of reading a few books? Look at what you look like now. The useless old scholar is more energetic than you."
The third prince was not afraid of his father getting angry and frowned and said, "How can a son minister be useless? The gentlemen praised his son minister's talent and knowledge, "Father, are you afraid you are not jealous?"
The third prince was not worried that the emperor would be angry to death, and the eunuchs were not worried anymore, and continued to stand calmly with their heads down.
Two people walked slowly in the distance and saw a plate of fruits and vegetables in the pavilion. The third prince, who was kneeling outside, hugged his head and dodged.
One of them was sturdy, wearing brocade clothes, with a black and red face, and his voice was also loud: "Third brother, you are here to make your father angry again."
As he spoke, he stepped forward a few steps and picked up the third prince.
He was only five or six years older than the third prince, and the two were about the same size. He easily picked up the third prince.
The third prince shouted angrily: "Let me go!"
The man laughed and let go of his hand.
The third prince shook his sleeves angrily: "It's a shame! What kind of prince do you look like like this!"
The eunuchs who were about to step forward to show their salute were standing firmly again, hanging their heads lower.
The man, the prince, was not angry, but said disdainfully: "How could you be like the son of your father? You are so gentle. Can you decide the country?"
The third prince became even more angry and sneered: "What does Jiangshan have to do with me!"
The more the two brothers talked, the more they became, the emperor in the gauze curtain spoke, but instead of interrupting the two, they called the other one: "Axun, come, come in and sit in."
The two eunuchs moved and stepped forward to lift the gauze curtain, revealing the emperor lying inwardly.
The emperor is very similar to the third prince, both have beautiful faces, but he is old and has thin cheeks. In addition to being weak, he is a little more dying.
He walked with the prince. At this time, Xiao Xun, who was standing a few steps away, quickly bowed his head and bowed: "I have seen Your Majesty."
His memory of the emperor was still in his childhood, when His Majesty was still a middle-aged man with great energy.
"No need to be polite, there are no rules here." The emperor said lightly, "You are so polite that you compare these two more indifferently."
This made people wonder how to react, and Xiao Xun was at a loss for a moment.
The prince laughed: "Father, just scold us, don't scare Ah Xun." After that, he grabbed Xiao Xun's arm and said, "Come on, sit with the orphan."
Xiao Xun was willing but unable to refuse, so the prince dragged it into the pavilion and sat next to the emperor together.
"Father, are you here to bother you again?" said the prince. "I heard that in the army, what kind of study club should be held by my third brother? This is not only to go crazy, but also to take the scholars in the capital to go crazy."
The third prince was furious: "You are just going crazy. This is the most supreme thing in the world, reading, reading."
The emperor ignored them and looked at Xiao Xun with a smile: "I heard from the prince that you have been in Beijing for a few days, but I have been in poor health and have not seen you."
Xiao Xun bowed and said, "I know that Your Majesty is in poor health and I dare not disturb you if I want to visit you. The prince took me to bow outside your palace with you."
The emperor said with a little drunkenness: "What's going on in Beijing?"
"Father, I told you that he helped the Tingwei Mansion for a little favor. Unfortunately, bandits appeared in the territory, and the quarrels were very big, so he sent the people to the capital and came to the court to receive the punishment." The prince answered first and pointed at Xiao Xun, "You are so cautious, what's there to get punishment? Besides, you don't need the court to receive punishment. Just take the people to kill the bandits completely."
Xiao Xun hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have ordered people to suppress the bandits. I have received the news before entering the capital that the bandits were strangled and the bandit leader was hung at the city gate for public display."
The prince still shook his head, looking regretful: "What's the point of strangling others? You should go in person." He waved his arm and brought up a gust of wind, "It's just that he's powerful."
Xiao Xun hurriedly smiled and said, "Although I am not afraid of bandits, I really can't kill them."
The prince pinched Xiao Xun's arm: "I remember that you liked martial arts when you were a child. After so many years, why are you not strong at all? You are abandoned? Don't become like this in the third brother--"
The third prince sneered: "Those who are good at using troops will be defeated by others rather than fighting, to pull out by others' cities rather than attack, and to destroy by others' countries without long-term use—"
Before he could finish his words, the emperor who had been half drunk and lost his mind suddenly scolded: "Stop talking!" He grabbed his face - he had just thrown it all, so he could only grab his shoes and smash it at the third prince.
"After reading for a few days, I dare to teach the prince a lesson." He cursed, "Will this prince be allowed to sit for you?"
The third prince was smashed to avoid it and said angrily: "Father, I don't mean this, you are misinterpreting!"
The prince was not angry, laughing: "Father, my third brother is indeed not teaching his sons a lesson. He is just pretending to do his own right. You don't have to be angry with him."
The emperor snorted coldly and did not grab his shoes and smash them.
The third prince shook his clothes that were smashed: "I really planned a grand event and wanted to invite my father to have fun together, but now I'm just here."
The prince smiled: "Don't be anxious, I'll go and support you."
The third prince was unhappy: "Your Highness, don't bring a group of martial artists to disturb my Wenhui." After that, he bowed his head and kowtowed, "My son is leaving."
