There are five princes in the palace, and they all have different temperaments. Now the eldest prince is already twenty-three, and the third prince and the fifth prince are all past their prime. Logically speaking, the emperor should have established a prince long ago, but the emperor has only just
When he is in his forties, he is probably not in a hurry, so the position of prince has been vacant for a long time.
There are two factions in the court. One faction believes that the position of prince should be established by direct descendants, and that the eldest prince should be established as prince. The other faction believes that the position of prince should be established by virtuous and capable, and that the fifth prince is extremely talented and should be established as prince.
.
The eldest prince is the son of Concubine Xue. He has the support of the Yang family and the Xue family. Now that the eldest prince has been sent to the queen's knees, he has become the true eldest son. He has also been supported by all the ministers in the court. He originally thought that Zhou
The Zhou family will definitely express their opinions after the Queen's death. After all, if the eldest prince takes the position of Crown Prince and becomes emperor in the future, Queen Zhou will be the Queen Mother. However, Queen Zhou remains unmoved and never interferes with the Crown Prince's position.
This is quite puzzling.
The fifth prince is the son of the concubine Ji. The Ji family and its descendants naturally support the fifth prince. The fifth prince is the most ambitious among the princes. Although he has just passed the age of weak crown, he begged the emperor for permission early.
He led troops to fight with King Ling and made great achievements, but the emperor never let him go. He just let him stay in the capital, saying that he was not ready yet and could not be released so early. These words revealed his expectations for the fifth prince.
This filled the hearts of the ministers who supported the fifth prince with expectations.
Although most of the people in the court support the eldest prince and the fifth prince, there is still a strange phenomenon. No one dares to offend the third prince Qi Ziyan. This cynical third prince is a headache for even the emperor, but it is the emperor who hates this person.
The unruly son was also quite conniving. Even though what he did was nothing like what a prince would do, the emperor rarely interfered or restrained him. The three princes were happy and relaxed, but the court officials secretly guessed that the emperor was simply
There was no plan for him to inherit the throne, so it didn't matter how the third prince had fun.
Because of the emperor's attitude, everyone tolerated the third prince a lot. In addition, the third prince was also a rare understanding person. He never interfered with the affairs of the court at will. To say that he was arrogant and domineering was just his nature.
, at least he would never rely on his status as a prince to bully the people or use his power to bully others. The emperor was satisfied with this.
Therefore, not only people in the court but also the entire capital knew that they would rather offend the high officials than the third prince. This prince started to get angry but ignored anyone who tried to stop the fight. Even the emperor said that there was no need to follow any strict rules.
After restraining this maverick son, who else dares to rule the roost in front of this master?
Princess Liuli often visited the palace, so she was no stranger to the third prince. However, she actually had no good impression of him. She always felt that he had a ruffian air and did not have the elegance and dignity that a prince should have. He was just a local ruffian, and he would be a hooligan from time to time.
She made teasing remarks, but she didn't like the third prince very much anyway.
However, whether he likes it or not, Liuli still knows the status of the third prince very well, so the two have never had any conflicts. In Princess Liuli's impression, the noisy third prince has always been a playful smile, and never has a moment of disbelief.
Quiet time.
But this time she was wrong. The person standing in front of her was clearly the Third Prince Qi Ziyan, but when he stared at her expressionlessly, she felt as if she couldn't move. His eyes seemed to be covered with blood.
There was a layer of frost, and the coldness in the sky was like a sharp knife stabbing her hard.
This kind of Prince Qi was quite unfamiliar to Princess Liuli. Just such a look made her heart beat rapidly. The long-lost heartbeat actually appeared in such a situation.
"Huh, she is such a good princess. She dares to commit murder and harm people in the palace. She is really a good daughter of Uncle Luo." Qi Ziyan hugged Jin Han and felt her trembling. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He was
He likes to bully Jinhan and sees her helpless, but this does not mean that he can tolerate others bullying her.
"Your Highness, it was this girl who bumped into my maid first and knocked over the scented tea given by the Imperial Concubine. She also spoke rudely, so Liuli couldn't help but teach her a lesson." Princess Liuli showed her usual gentleness at this time.
Ru Shui pursed her lips and looked at Qi Ziyan pitifully.
If it were Qi Ziyan at ordinary times, he would naturally not embarrass her in public. Who doesn't know that His Highness the Third Prince is the most sympathetic to her, but at this time, he was only filled with anger and wanted to push her into the lake. What else could he think about?
Give her face.
"Even if you overturn the concubine's reward, you shouldn't have to kill someone. Princess Liuli's move to divert trouble to the east is really good." Qi Ziyan sneered and put a big hat on her, and immediately stood up to him.
The guard said dully, "Ask Concubine De if the things she rewarded are gone, will she have to pay for them with her life?"
By saying this, he directly drags Concubine De into the water. Although Liuli's original intention is to shirk responsibility and want to use Concubine De to suppress Qi Ziyan. After all, his look of wanting to eat people is really scary. Who knows?
He actually wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass Concubine De. Based on Liuli's understanding, it was not worthwhile to lose the face of Concubine De for the sake of a little girl.
But she forgot that the person standing in front of her was not someone who was good at calculations, but the third prince Qi Ziyan who had his own way of doing things. Everyone in the palace knew that this third prince would never give anyone face when he acted. In the past, he and the big prince
The prince got into trouble, and Concubine Xue intervened to mediate it. The third prince refused to give in to the concubine, and finally the emperor made the eldest prince think about his fault before he gave up.
"I...I didn't mean that..." Liuli was startled, as if she was frightened by his words, and for a moment she didn't know what to say in reply.
"Here comes someone." Qi Ziyan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Yes." The identity of the prince and the identity of the princess are not the same. The third prince gave the order, and a group of guards immediately came out to listen to the order.
"Princess Liuli and Miss Jiang are invited to sit in the emperor's palace for a while. Regarding today's incident, you will send someone to investigate who is right and who is wrong. Then send someone to invite Prince Luo and Master Jiang to come over and go immediately." Qi Ziyan said.
After saying this, he glanced at Liuli with a half-smile and said calmly, "I also want you to know who you can and cannot provoke."
Isn't this what she just said to Jin Han who was struggling in the lake? Liuli narrowed her eyes. Is the third prince trying to avenge that girl?
Thinking of this, Liuli snorted indifferently. Since Qi Ziyan was going to make things big, she really wasn't afraid of this. She was just a little girl. Could it be that he really turned against her for her?
The girl in his arms moved uncomfortably, Qi Ziyan said no more, picked her up by the waist, turned around and walked towards his palace. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Mu Ran. There was no trace of her there. He nodded and walked out of the crowd.
As for the destination, it is naturally Liluo Palace next to Qianling Palace.
