Hongli's words were sharper than before, and Hongshi was frightened when he heard them. He had already made plans and thought through his words. He thought that even if Hongli sabotaged things on the side, nothing would change. Little did he know that he hadn't seen him for more than half a year.
Hongli's words were much sharper than before, and he focused on the key points in every sentence, which made him
Suddenly he became unsure. He thought for a long time and was about to speak. Yinzhen raised his hand and said: "Let's end this matter here. I don't want to hear it anymore. Credit belongs to credit and fault belongs to fault. It's the Queen's business.
Don't ask me any more questions, don't say any more words about merits and demerits, and just be your betrothed prince, do you understand?"
Hearing these words, Hongshi secretly clenched his fists. What a great Hongli. He gave him such a big gift just after returning to Beijing. He was indeed the "good brother" he longed for.
"I understand." When it came to this, there was no need to beg any more, because Yinzhen would definitely not agree, and forcing it would be counterproductive, but he was not ready to give up completely, "Since Huang Ama refuses
Shi Huang's Niang, can you please allow me to go to Kunning Palace to see her? In the past six months, I have really missed Huang's Niang and wanted to know if she is well. I beg the Emperor's Ama to agree, otherwise I will not care about her.
I don’t feel at ease no matter what.”
This time, Hongli did not speak, because Hongshi's request was not excessive. If he objected to this, it would give Hongshi a reason to retort, saying that he was deliberately making things difficult, leaving Yinzhen with a careless and obstructive person.
impression.
As a prince, you must be careful in your actions and speech, especially when speaking in front of the emperor. Every sentence or even every word must be thought over and over again. There must be no rashness or sloppiness, otherwise it will be easy to be caught in the wrong.
The three words "Huang Ama" destined Yinzhen to them to be king first and then father. No matter how good the relationship between father and son is, they must not forget this.
Sure enough, Yinzhen didn't say anything else this time. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "Okay, I grant your request!"
When Hongshi heard this, he quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your grace!"
Seeing that he was still holding up the imperial edict, Yinzhen said: "The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no reason to take it back. From today on, you will be Prince Ding. After a few days of rest, I will assign errands to you. Don't do things like this again."
You are as willful as before, do you understand?"
Hongshi lowered his head and said solemnly: "I will never make the same mistakes I made in the past, otherwise I will die to apologize."
Yinzhen nodded happily, "Very good, I'll let Sixi go with you to Kunning Palace. No one will stop you. Just step back."
"Yes, I will retire." After Hongshi went out, Yinzhen turned his eyes and landed on Hongli's face, "Hongli, please answer me honestly. The reason why you came here to see me with Hongshi is because you are a member of the staff.
Something needs to be urgent
Are you writing a memorial, or did you expect that Hongshi would intercede for the queen?" Before Hongli could speak, he added: "I want to hear the truth, and if you insist on using a bunch of lies to deal with me, you can also
Retired."
Hongli's mind was racing, he lowered his head and said: "My son deserves to die, please punish me!"
A trace of sadness flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the most sensible and progressive among my sons. When did you feel that you started to learn these things? Have all my teachings to you over the years been in vain?"
"I don't dare." Hongli said in fear: "I really want to stop my second brother from interceding for the emperor's mother, but it's not because I want to go against my second brother, or because I'm selfish. It's because the emperor really doesn't want to."
He should be released. I am also a son of man. I don’t want my mother-in-law to be hurt again, so even if I shouldn’t, I will do it again. I don’t dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but in this matter, I
No regrets.”
"Every one of you..." Yinzhen sighed and did not continue. Although he tried his best to prevent the brothers from fighting against each other, the overt and covert fights between them could not be stopped. "Well, I don't blame you for this, but
Remember, between brothers, everything
You have to leave some points, don't go too far, do you understand? If you really feel something is wrong, you can tell me, but you must not secretly plot, otherwise, even if it is you, I will not take it lightly." Wait for the last sentence.
At this time, Yinzhen's tone was obviously much harsher than before.
Hongli quickly agreed: "My son, I must always remember Huang Ama's words and dare not forget them!"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Okay, you can go down too. I believe that even if something happens to the officials, it's not that important. We'll discuss everything tomorrow. I still have many things to approve at this moment."
"My son, please retire!" After Hongli retreated, looking at the palace door that was gradually closing, Yinzhen sighed softly, with a dark light dancing in his eyes.
He really didn't want Hongli to follow the same path as himself, where brothers turned against each other and became enemies of each other. This road was too difficult to walk, and every step he took was a kind of torture to people.
If there ever comes a day when brothers turn against each other because of the throne, he will definitely remove all troubles for the heir he chooses so that he can successfully ascend to the throne.
If he does this, he will inevitably bear the reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless, but it doesn't matter. He has been bearing the reputation for more than forty years since he was a child, and he doesn't care about bearing it any more.
Let's say that after Hongshi left Yangxin Hall, he rushed to Kunning Palace with Sixi. On the way, he felt more uneasy than when he saw Yinzhen just now. The words he had said to Nala kept flashing in his mind. At that time, he felt that
La Shi had taken advantage of him, so no matter what he said, he took it for granted. But now that he thinks about it, he regrets it endlessly.
"Second brother, Kunning Palace has arrived. I have already made an agreement with the gatekeeper. Just go in." Sixi's voice woke Hongshi up from his thoughts, and he quickly held his hands and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Xi, for your kindness."
It's really hard for you to make this trip, I'll treat you to a drink another day."
Although Sixi didn't have a good impression of Hongshi and knew that drinking was nothing but polite words, everyone liked to hear nice words. She immediately laughed and said: "What are you talking about, second elder brother? I'm just a slave running errands. How dare you mention it?"
Thank you for your hard work, please go in quickly, I think the Queen is also thinking about you."
Hongshi nodded, but until Sixi walked away, he didn't step into the palace gate. It wasn't that he didn't want to see Nala, it was just that... the more he wanted to see her, the more scared he became, and he didn't know how to face it.
However, after finally getting here, Hongshi would not leave just like that. After gathering up the courage, he finally walked in.
Kunning Palace, transcending the six east and west palaces, is the most noble place in the harem. The woman who lives here is a model for women in the world, and is the empress of the world.
Because of this, neither the furnishings nor the flowers and trees in the courtyard are allowed to have any flaws. If the flowers and trees show signs of withering, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be ordered to replace them immediately.
