Emperor Ming Yong looked at his son expressionlessly, "What kind of trouble are you and your Crown Princess causing?"
Even when it came to his father, Situ Ji always said, "The Crown Princess made the decision without authorization and went against Gu's wishes. She deserves to be punished by Gu."
"The Crown Princess is virtuous. She knew she was pregnant and could not serve her, so she took the initiative to choose a concubine for you. The ones she chose were all noble girls. You still say she deserves it? What crime does the Crown Princess deserve?"
Emperor Ming Yong was very satisfied with this matter.
He felt that the Crown Princess was arrogant because of her ability to warn of disasters. At Princess Duan's birthday banquet, she was given six sachets, all of which were talented and beautiful.
It can be seen that this is really for the sake of his son.
Who would have thought that he would not want this son? How stupid must he be to refuse such a good thing?
Situ Ji and his father had different views on this matter. "A woman has three virtues and four virtues, and obeying her husband when she gets married is one of them. Gu Wu has a hospital to take concubines, but the Crown Princess still insists on her own way. This is the opposite of Gu Wu."
If her husband is disrespectful, isn't this her fault?"
He said he was fair and honest, but in his heart he was worried about what happened to the little woman.
Emperor Ming Yong was so angry that he pointed at him, "Are you a man? You actually refuse such a good thing!"
"Yes, there is no man in this world who would refuse such a good thing. For example, your father, he will not refuse anyone who comes, and he will talk about anything. In this regard, Ji'er, you are far inferior to your father.
"Yes." Queen Qin walked in at this time, glanced at Emperor Yong of Ming Dynasty and said indifferently.
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty immediately said: "Actually, I think Ji'er's idea is very good. It's just that the princess has suffered a lot. She has to be punished by him for having a big belly. Queen, please ask someone to comfort the princess. Don't let her go.
Take it to heart."
"The news just came in from outside that the Crown Princess is fine." Empress Qin looked at her son.
Situ Ji's expression remained unchanged, but he was relieved in his heart.
Emperor Ming Yong glanced at his queen and said to his son's puzzled face: "You are different from me. I didn't have the confidence you did back then. After all, I was not born under the knee of your grandfather's favorite woman.
, but you are the daughter of my queen. You can keep your crown princess if you want, and I won’t tell you anything. But you just go back to playing, don’t make fun of the child, this is your eldest son, you
I am only old enough to have this child!”
"What my father is teaching me is that I was reckless in this matter." Situ Ji nodded.
"If there is nothing else, just go back and see your princess. This is pitiful. It is neither progress nor retreat. In the final analysis, her background is a bit poor." Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty said.
Situ Ji didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
As soon as his son left, Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty spoke up and asked the queen: "Shu'er, do you think this young couple wrote and directed a play by themselves, or what?"
Empress Qin glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, I have selected two maidservants for you. They are both very good-looking and graceful. Your Majesty, please come over and enjoy them."
Emperor Ming Yong immediately said: "Shu'er, what are you talking about? Apart from you, who else can I hold in my heart? Do you still have to question my feelings for you?"
"Really, what the emperor just said to Ji'er..."
"Ji'er is our son. Of course I am partial to him and want him to enjoy the blessings of the whole family. But it has nothing to do with anything else. Shu'er, please don't get me wrong!"
Empress Qin then snorted softly, "I don't have a birthday this year, so please have someone evacuate me!"
"It's better to live it up. Princess Duan has lived up to it. Let's hold a palace banquet that's more lively and bigger than hers. We can't be outdone by her."
"Last year there were floods and plagues in Mingzhou, and this year there was an earth dragon in Qinzhou. I don't know how much the Yong Dynasty has folded in, so there is no need to waste money and effort."
"The losses are all within control, it's no big deal. Let's have a good birthday. I want to spend your birthday with you properly."
…
Situ Ji, who returned to the Prince's Mansion, walked straight to the west courtyard.
A group of servants in the west courtyard all knelt down to pay their respects.
The same goes for Jade Pot. After bowing, he quickly got up and opened the curtain.
Yin Ruhua was lying on the bed. When she saw him coming in, she got up to greet him.
But Situ Ji pushed him back and said, "Lie down and don't move."
Yin Ruhua just followed Shanruliu and lay down, "When did your Highness come back?"
"Just got back." Situ Ji waved his hand for the servants to get out, and then reached out to lift up her pants.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? I'm fine." Yin Ruhua quickly stopped her.
"Let me take a look."
"It's okay. I asked Yuhu early to prepare soft cushions to wrap around my knees."
Situ Ji still insisted on seeing it, and had no choice but to let her see it. As a result, Situ Ji saw that both knees were red and bruised!
In fact, Yin Ruhua wasn't telling a lie. It's just that her skin is too tender. She would leave red marks if she wasn't careful, let alone that she actually knelt down for an hour today.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. It just looks serious, but in fact, it will be fine if you rest for two days. It's nothing serious." Yin Ruhua saw that he was a little angry and whispered.
This time she really paid a lot of attention. After all, this kind of thing can only happen once, and the power of one time is enough. She might as well kneel down longer to be more convincing.
From this day on, it was said outside that the Crown Princess was pregnant with Liujia. She knelt for an hour but failed to persuade His Highness, so everyone was blocked.
It’s worth it too.
Situ Ji was either really angry or felt sorry for her.
Seeing that she was worried about him blaming her, she calmed down her anger and said, "You just need to have a good rest. There won't be any more jealous rumors about you outside."
Although this little woman's move was a last resort, it did work. Now that all the outside attention was attracted by his statement that he did not take concubines, no one was looking at her anymore.
Yin Ruhua is also happy. After this incident, no one will make an issue about it in at least three to five years.
Remembering that he had just come back, she looked at him and said, "Your Highness, can you please have dinner?"
"Not yet."
"The noodle soup made by the imperial chef today was extremely delicious. It used oil-free chicken soup as the base, and I ate a big bowl. Your Highness, do you want the imperial chef to make it?"
"good."
Although Yin Ruhua wanted to keep him here to eat, she still said: "Then your Highness should go back to Zhengyuan Yuan to take a bath. The imperial chef will be sent there when it is ready."
Situ Ji also wants to stay, but it is really not suitable to stay at the moment.
"I'll come over to see you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Yin Ruhua nodded.
Situ Ji then went back.
As soon as he left, Yu Ke and Bing Ke came in. Both maids were visibly happy.
Especially curling, her eyes were still red, she had been so frightened in the past two or three days.
"Are you crying again?" Yin Ruhua said amusedly.
"I am happy," Bing Hu said, feeling happy that the Crown Princess had not lost the Prince's favor.
"It's okay, the prince didn't really blame me, and he wasn't really angry with me." Yin Ruhua comforted her.
"Yeah, I know." Bing Ju nodded, "Let me keep vigil for the Crown Princess tonight."
"Just let Dong Yu come, there is no need for you."
"Come here, slave." Bing Ke shook his head and insisted.
"Prince Princess, please let this girl come, otherwise she won't be worried even if the servant comes." Yuhu said with a smile.
