Chapter 21: When the father of the pit is in progress
After Chen Shuai, came Liu Shuyi? What happened?
Could it be that Liu Shuyi also went to Ningxiang Palace to humiliate Concubine Shen Shu?
It shouldn’t be. The Eighth Prince smashed Youzhi Palace two days ago. The concubines in the palace should know that His Highness is definitely not a person who can be bullied, and they will not go to Ningxiang Palace to deliberately cause trouble. ↗
The three Zhongshu ministers looked at each other, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.
Think about it, those concubines in the harem, since they can sit in their positions, they cannot be fools. With Chen Shuai in Youzhi Palace learning from the past, how can they rashly go to Ningxiang Palace to deliberately anger Concubine Shen Shuai?
, aren’t they worried that their bedroom will be smashed by Zhao Hongrun like Youzhi Palace?
After such careful analysis, the three Zhongshu ministers felt more and more that something was wrong with this matter.
"Liu Shuyi's Fangxin Palace...could it be that the traitor also destroyed it?"
After a moment of silence, the emperor asked with a headache.
Unexpectedly, the young eunuch shook his head and said: "The Eighth Prince has never destroyed Liu Shuyi's Fangxin Palace, nor has he damaged a single item in the palace. The Eighth Prince only scolded Liu Shuyi for collaborating with Chen Shuai to bully Concubine Shen Shuai..."
"Huh?" Hearing that Zhao Hongrun didn't destroy anything this time, the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was actually a little confused.
"Does Liu Shuyi... have any friendship with Chen Shuai?" the emperor asked Tong Xian in a low voice.
Tong Xian was amused after hearing this, thinking that in the past, Liu Shuyi was competing with Chen Shuai for favor. The two were incompatible with each other and fought like a hot kiln. How could they have any friendship?
"Liu Shuyi and Chen Shuai are not friends, and as far as I know, the relationship between the two empresses is not harmonious."
The emperor frowned when he heard this: "Is that the traitor who caused trouble for no reason?"
"This... I don't dare to speak nonsense."
"I'm telling you to tell that traitor... to get out of here quickly!"
"yes."
After a while, Chui Gong Palace received news that the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun left Fangxin Palace. Although he did not damage anything in Fangxin Palace, he used words to make Liu Shuyi half angry to death, so that at this moment, Empress Shuyi was in her bedroom.
Lose your temper.
I thought this matter would be over, but what I didn't expect was that just half an hour later, another news came to Chuigong Palace, saying that the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun had a quarrel with Sun Shurong in Guanxue Palace. The rhetoric remained the same, and he still blamed that person.
Sun Shurong and Chen Shuai teamed up to bully Concubine Shen Shuai.
Likewise, this time Zhao Hongrun didn't destroy anything, he just used words to stimulate Sun Shurong. Sun Shurong was so angry that she wanted to explode but didn't dare to. It was hard to hold it in.
What does the traitor want to do? He is full and ready to offend all the concubines in the palace? What good does this do to him? What good does it do to his mother, Concubine Shen Shu?
The Emperor of Wei also gradually felt that this matter might not be as simple as he thought, so he did not send someone to warn Zhao Hongrun in time. He wanted to see what the traitor wanted to do.
In just half a day, Zhao Hongrun went back and forth to the bedrooms of the eight concubines and scolded them all.
Although those concubines did not dare to argue with Zhao Hongrun due to Chen Shuai's fate, how could they be willing to swallow this breath? So they unanimously made a decision: when His Majesty comes over, they must tell this matter
Tell Your Majesty to accuse the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun of being rude and bad.
Poor Wei Emperor Zhao Yuanxi didn't know this.
He did not choose Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace today. After all, Concubine Shen Shu's physical condition has been poor. It is okay to chat with him, but if it is to wait for sexual intercourse, then he will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, even if the emperor visits Ningxiang Palace these days, it will be better.
Diligent, but when there is a real physical need, he will still choose other concubines.
For example, Chen Shuai, who was very popular in the past.
Of course, the emperor will not choose Chen Shuai from Youzhi Palace in the near future. After all, Chen Shuai caused Zhao Hongrun, a prince who is increasingly valued by the emperor, to lose his appearance. The emperor has some grudges.
"Showing in Fangxin Palace."
The emperor finally made a decision.
Firstly, Liu Shuyi from Fangxin Palace was also a beautiful concubine. Secondly, the emperor wanted to ask Liu Shuyi about what happened today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into Fangxin Palace, Liu Shuyi, who came to pick her up, knelt on the ground and started crying. While she was crying, she accused the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun of being rude. The emperor of Wei was so annoyed that he was not in the mood to stay in this palace
.
"Don't worry, my beloved, I will handle this matter."
After saying a few words, the Emperor of Wei turned around and left regardless of the astonishment on Liu Shuyi's face.
It's no wonder, after all, the emperor was exhausted after a hard day's work on government affairs. He just wanted to relax and have fun in Fangxin Palace, but he was not in the mood to listen to Liu Shuyi talking to him about Zhao Hongrun's misdeeds.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it clear to the emperor of Wei that the evil deeds of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun were clear to him? Does Liu Shuyi need to talk too much?
"Your Majesty has changed his mind and is not going to stay at Fangxin Palace?"
"No, Liu Shuyi keeps crying and complaining about the misdeeds of the traitor. How can I still be in the mood? Go to another palace."
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"I..." Halfway through his words, the Emperor of Wei was suddenly startled. Only then did he remember that Zhao Hongrun seemed to have offended all the remaining eight concubines with unwarranted accusations this afternoon.
In other words, even if you go to the palace of another concubine, the situation may not be much different from listening to Liu Shuyi crying about Zhao Hongrun's misdeeds in the Fragrant Palace.
Could it be that...
The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he cursed through gritted teeth: "I see!... That traitor is really cruel!"
"His Majesty?"
"Go to Wu Guifei's Plum Palace."
"yes."
The next day, Zhao Hongrun did not go to the palace school for lunch. He made a rare visit to the Yafeng Pavilion, the dormitory of his brother Zhao Hongzhao, the Sixth Emperor.
Originally, Zhao Hongzhao was planning to go to the Palace Academy to discuss literature with the scholars, but when he heard that his eighth brother wanted to come to visit, he took a rare leave from the Palace Academy and waited in the dormitory.
After a while, Zhao Hongrun arrived at the appointment on time.
Zhao Hongzhao invited his eighth brother into the front hall and ordered people to serve sumptuous dishes that had been prepared.
"Does the Emperor know that I'm coming to have a meal?"
Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.
Zhao Hongzhao smiled and said nothing. In fact, he knew very well that his eighth brother had been living in embarrassment these days because his father had cut off his princely salary. Sometimes he went to Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace to have dinner, and sometimes he went to Zhao Hongxuan's.
In order to have a meal in the dormitory, yesterday, out of desperation, I made a rare trip to the palace school to attend a lecture.
It is unprecedented for a prince to be in this position.
"Hongrun is here for more than just a meal, right?" Zhao Hongzhao smiled pointedly.
He heard last night that after Zhao Hongrun separated from them, he ran to the concubine's palace for unknown reasons and blamed those concubines with unfounded excuses. In addition to Chen Shuai before, Zhao Hongrun can say
The ninth concubine was completely offended.
Zhao Hongzhao did not think that Zhao Hongrun was just idle and deliberately causing trouble.
Summarizing the causes and consequences, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the eighth prince.
"Eighth brother, do you plan to force your father in this way?"
Zhao Hongzhao asked curiously.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was looking at the walls around the front hall with bright eyes, because the walls of the front hall of Yafeng Pavilion were covered with the favorite works of the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao, and the floor was full of them, which in Zhao Hongrun's eyes
What a waste of money.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Sixth Emperor!"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at the sixth emperor brother and said with a smile: "Yes, my father broke his promise. Not only did he not allow me to leave the cabinet as agreed, he also deducted my monthly salary. This tone is really unbearable."
Zhao Hongzhao found it a bit funny that the current battle between the emperor and Zhao Hongrun was widely circulated in the palace.
Since ancient times, no prince has ever fought so fiercely with the emperor in order to leave the palace. It is simply unbelievable.
"Fortunately, my father is a wise king, otherwise, if you had acted like this, you would have been imprisoned in the clan's palace to think about it." Zhao Hongzhao shook his head with emotion.
After hearing these words, Zhao Hongrun curled his lips in disapproval and said to himself that he had to fight for it just because the emperor was wise. Otherwise, why would he fight? It would be over if he went home and pretended to be an ostrich until he was fifteen.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun said in a low voice: "I came here today because I have something to trouble Brother Sixth Emperor."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hongzhao waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, brother Yu will go to Mei Palace later to pay homage to his mother and concubine, and please ask her to speak ill of you in front of the father."
"Eh?" Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he would be a little shocked if someone could see through his thoughts at a glance.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Who is that person opposite? That is Zhao Hongzhao, who is known as Qilin'er, one of the best in the world!
"Brother Sixth Emperor...it's really..."
"It's easy to talk to smart people, right?" Zhao Hongzhao said with a smile.
After the contact, he found that the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan were relatively easy to get along with, so they no longer had any restrictions.
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun smiled.
"However, in this case, you owe Brother Yu a favor... How do you plan to repay it?"
"This...what does Brother Sixth Emperor mean?"
It seemed that Zhao Hongzhao had already thought about it. After hearing this, he said with great interest: "Next time when Brother Yu holds a poetry meeting, can Brother Eight also attend it?"
"Poetry party..." Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.
He had heard about the poetry gathering of the Sixth Emperor Brother Zhao Hongzhao. It was the Sixth Emperor Brother who invited some great scholars, or the learned nephews of the ministers of the court, and invited them to Yafeng Pavilion to drink together.
Drinking tea, reciting poems and writing lyrics, although this is a very elegant thing in the world, to be honest Zhao Hongrun is not interested.
"If the eighth brother is not willing, then let's drop this matter." Zhao Hongzhao said with a smile: "Anyway, with Brother Yu explaining it for me, it is absolutely impossible for the eighth brother to make Brother Yu's mother and concubine angry."
"...Is this a threat?" Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed.
"No, Brother Yu is just looking forward to having his eighth brother join the next poetry meeting." Zhao Hongzhao said with sincere anticipation.
Zhao Hongrun was quite helpless: "The feeling of being grabbed by someone and hurting my feet...it's quite annoying to be honest."
"Then...a deal?"
"Well, deal!"
That night, when Emperor Zhao Yuancai of the Wei Dynasty stayed at Wu Guifei's Mei Palace again, Wu Guifei changed her gentleness from the previous day and started to criticize Zhao Hongrun like the other nine concubines, which surprised and confused the Emperor of Wei.
Could that traitor want to completely offend the mothers and concubines of his brothers and sisters?
