For a long while, the huge Youzhi Palace was silent.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun, whose face was filled with frost, suddenly burst into a smile and said, "Haha, it's just a joke, Chen Shuyuan, don't take offense!"
"Are you kidding?" Chen Shuyuan was stunned by Zhao Hongrun's sudden change in expression.
I saw Zhao Hongrun slowly stand up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Youzhi Palace is Chen Shuyuan's bedroom, and Chen Shuyuan is my father's favorite concubine. How dare I really smash Youzhi Palace?"
This little kid...
Chen Shuyuan realized that she had been tricked, and her beautiful face suddenly turned gloomy.
But at the same time, her restless mood gradually calmed down.
"The Eighth Prince broke into my Youzhi Palace without my permission. Do you know that this is a serious crime?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "I know!... But well, everything happens for a reason. Even if this matter comes to the ears of my father, my father will be considerate of it... Are you right, Chen Shuyuan?"
Chen Shuyuan naturally understood what Zhao Hongrun was referring to, and after weighing it in her mind, she had no intention of pursuing Zhao Hongrun for breaking into her bedroom without permission.
After all, this incident was caused by her, and Zhao Hongrun was just venting his anger on his mother. Even if the trouble was brought to the side of Emperor Zhao Yuansi of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Hongrun could not be harmed. It is very likely that according to the emperor's current regard for Zhao Hongrun, at most
Just a few words of reprimand and nothing more.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuyuan sat down on the main seat in the palace, straightened the wrinkles on her robe, and asked casually: "That's all, I don't care about your junior... After all, what do you think of me?
What's the matter?"
Zhao Hongrun grinned when he heard this and said with deep meaning: "Don't you, Chen Shuyuan, know what is going on?"
"presumptuous!"
There was a scolding sound in the palace, not from Chen Shuyuan, but from an older palace maid.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince, is your elder. The Eighth Prince, regardless of his dignity and courtesy, asked your Majesty, how can you act appropriately?"
It turned out that when the palace maid saw Zhao Hongrun boasting about Haikou before Chen Shuyuan showed up, saying that she destroyed Youzhi Palace without seeing Chen Shuyuan, she immediately changed her tune when she saw Chen Shuyuan, and the previous panic in her heart disappeared.
After all, she is a palace maid in Youzhi Palace. Relying on Chen Shuyuan's position in the palace, she is used to being domineering in the past. Even when facing a prince like Zhao Hongrun, she probably won't have any scruples.
Maybe in their opinion, no matter what happens, with their empress Chen Shuyuan protecting them, everything will be fine.
Unfortunately, they met Zhao Hongrun this time.
"Lu Mu!" Zhao Hongrun picked up the tea cup and called out a name as if nothing had happened.
Immediately, Lu Mu, the Zongwei behind him, walked out, walked up to the palace maid with a heavy face, stretched out his hand to grab her hair, and dragged her out of the front of Youzhi Palace with her hair bun and collar.
The palace gate.
When the maids in the palace saw this scene, they immediately screamed.
"Zhao Hongrun!" Chen Shuyuan slapped the table in front of her with her hand, and sternly rebuked in an unbelievable tone: "How dare you openly commit murder in my Youzhi Palace, in front of me?!"
Zhao Hongrun drank tea with a calm face and said slowly: "When Chen Shuyuan said this, she must have real evidence."
"Real evidence?! Everyone here saw your Zongwei openly committing murder!"
"Chen Shuyuan misunderstood." Zhao Hongrun put down the tea cup in his hand with a smile, and said kindly: "His Royal Highness is a peace-loving person, how could he order Zong Wei under his command to commit murder? However, the name just now
The maid was too noisy and disturbed the conversation between His Highness and Chen Shuyuan, so His Highness asked his subordinate Zong Wei to temporarily retreat... After all, there are differences between the upper and lower parts of the palace, and the hierarchy is strict. A small maid made her own decision and interrupted His Highness.
This conversation with Chen Shuyuan is not in line with etiquette, right?" As he spoke, he cast a thoughtful glance at the stunned palace maids in the palace, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it is your Highness this time. If it were someone else with such a bad temper,
Okay, brother, I'm afraid that the palace maid will most likely be killed with a stick..."
The palace maids suddenly turned pale when they heard this. They originally thought that the eighth prince was just a coward who only knew how to talk, and they were prepared to add a few words from time to time to cheer up their queen. But now they saw the palace maid being dragged directly with their own eyes.
After leaving Youzhi Palace, they heard Zhao Hongrun say something that was obviously threatening. How could they dare to say anything? They all lowered their heads and trembled in fear.
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!... This Zhao Hongrun is very talented. He is very good at doing things at a young age. He can scare those useless guys with a few words and make them tremble...
Chen Shuyuan looked on with cold eyes. Of course she knew that Zhao Hongrun was trying to scare the monkeys.
"I hope so, but if I find that the palace maid is missing a hair later, I will definitely tell your majesty about it." Chen Shuyuan's words are undoubtedly supporting the palace ladies in the palace.
It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun smiled lightly and calmly responded: "The Zongwei of this palace has rough hands and feet, so what's weird about losing a few hairs? Besides, even if you lose a few hairs, it's better than losing your head, right?"
Faced with this naked threat, the maids in the palace who had calmed down suddenly became panicked again. Angrily, Chen Shuyuan cursed in her heart: These useless things!
Sighing bitterly, Chen Shuyuan stopped paying attention to the maids in the palace and said coldly to Zhao Hongrun: "Eighth Prince, I don't have time to chat with you. If you have anything to do, tell the truth. If there is nothing, please tell me."
Go back."
"Your Highness is still saying the same thing. Chen Shuyuan knows what your Highness is doing... If Chen Shuyuan is confused for a moment, it doesn't matter. Your Highness has plenty of time. When Chen Shuyuan remembers it, we will discuss it in detail!" Zhao Hongrun said slowly.
said.
A trace of resentment flashed in Chen Shuyuan's eyes, and she sneered and said, "Maybe your Majesty will come to Youzhi Palace in this palace today. Doesn't it matter?"
"Hey!... That's just right. When the time comes, I'll let my father be a notary." Zhao Hongrun had an indifferent expression on his face.
"You..." Chen Shuyuan was furious.
That's all, let this kid be proud for a while... This matter happened because of me. If I talk about it in detail in front of His Majesty, it will always be detrimental to me...
Having made up her mind, Chen Shuyuan had no choice but to give in in order to get rid of Zhao Hongrun as soon as possible.
"Is it because I accidentally broke the porcelain jar in Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace? Ah, for such a trivial matter, the Eighth Prince made such a big move. People who don't know about it would think that Concubine Shen Shu is really that petty.
.”
"..." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Chen Shuyuan lightly: "How did it break?"
"How else could it have been broken? Of course it was accidentally broken due to slippery hands." Chen Shuyuan pretended to have an innocent expression on her face.
"Ha!" Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly without commenting.
Seeing this, Chen Shuyuan frowned, holding back her anger and said pleasantly: "That's all, I just have to pay compensation..." As she said that, she deliberately glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and deliberately whispered in a voice that could be heard by him:
"I can't believe Concubine Shen Shu is such a stingy person."
Zhao Hongrun had no reaction to this and was neither sullen nor angry.
Not long after, a palace maid brought a brand new porcelain jar and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Hongrun.
Pointing to the porcelain jar, Chen Shuyuan said proudly: "This brand-new Dingtao Song porcelain is a national tribute presented by foreign countries to your Majesty, and your Majesty rewarded it to this palace. It is worth a lot of money and is used to compensate for it."
Concubine Shen Shu's humble old porcelain jar can always satisfy Concubine Shen Shu, right?" Her words were filled with a sense of superiority that a superior would give to a subordinate.
Zhao Hongrun continued to drink tea and said slowly: "As Chen Shuyuan said, my mother-in-law's porcelain jar is indeed inconspicuous, worth only thirty-fifty taels, but she has used it for nearly ten years, even if she accidentally bumped it during the period
Even if it's superficial, I can't bear to replace it. Why? Because after using it with familiar hands, I have feelings... Although Chen Shuyuan's fixed pottery Song porcelain is precious, it is not rare for my Highness, nor is it rare for His Royal Highness's mother-in-law.
.”
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, grabbed the rim of the porcelain bottle with his right hand, and handed it in the direction of Chen Shuyuan.
Huh! You are blind, this is a tribute to the country! ... If you don’t want to be the best, I am still reluctant to part with it!
Chen Shuyuan snorted coldly in her heart and motioned with her eyes to the maid in the palace to take over the Dingtao Song porcelain vase.
A palace maid understood and walked up to Zhao Hongrun in a few steps. Just as she was about to reach out to pick it up, she saw Zhao Hongrun suddenly let go of his hand.
This precious porcelain vase made of Dingtao Song porcelain, in front of everyone in the hall, slowly fell, fell to the ground with a clang, and shattered into pieces.
The palace maid was stunned, and all the palace ladies in the palace were stunned, even Chen Shuyuan was stunned.
You must know that it was not only a national tribute sent to the Wei Dynasty by foreign countries, but also a gift given to Chen Shuyuan by the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty. How can it be simply described by the word "precious".
As the person involved, Zhao Hongrun grasped his fists and showed an expression of surprise.
"Oops, my hand slipped."
"..." Looking at the debris on the ground, the people in Youzhi Palace were stunned.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun smiled playfully, raised his hand and gently pushed a large porcelain bottle on the floor next to a pillar.
"Bang--"
There was more broken porcelain on the floor in the hall.
"Oops, my highness's hand slipped again..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hongrun raised his foot and kicked a candlestick and the decorative wooden window behind it to the ground.
"Oh, His Highness's feet also slipped... No, it was His Highness... His whole body slipped!"
Having said this, Zhao Hongrun's face turned full of anger. He picked up the desk in front of him and smashed everything in front of him to pieces in front of everyone in Youzhi Palace.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
"laugh--"
All the porcelain was smashed, the wooden railings and wooden windows used for decoration were kicked away, and all the brocade curtains were torn down by Zhao Hongrun.
Chen Shuyuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she collapsed on the ground, looking with horrified eyes at the eighth prince who was so bold as to smash up her Youzhi Palace.
Even so, Zhao Hongrun still did not give up. He raised his hand and pointed at the entire front hall of Youzhi Palace, and ordered the Zongwei behind him: "Smash it! The entire front hall of Youzhi Palace, I don't want to see a single intact thing!"
"Yes!" The nine sect guards swarmed up and smashed them in the front hall, frightening the palace ladies in the hall to hug each other and collapse to the ground.
"Zhao Hongrun!" Chen Shuyuan came back to her senses, her beautiful face distorted in anger, and she screamed like a shrew, "You dare... you dare to smash my Youzhi Palace!"
Zhao Hongrun slowly turned his head and glanced at Chen Shuyuan, who was furious.
"Ah, His Highness has always kept his promise! If I say I want to destroy your Youzhi Palace, I will destroy your Youzhi Palace!"
"ah--!!"
Chen Shuyuan screamed angrily, threw herself at Zhao Hongrun desperately, and scratched the latter's face with her long nails.
She was already extremely angry.
She didn't notice that Zhao Hongrun didn't dodge, he just stood there.
Not only did he have no intention of evading, but there was also an inexplicable smile on his lips.
