The invitation is from the prince, and there is another concubine on the prince's side. A few days later there will be a hundred-day banquet.
Having more children has always been the favorite thing of the royal family. Compared to the fourth prince's house, which only has Zhen'er, and there is no news about the fifth prince's marriage, in terms of fighting for sons, the prince has won.
Yan Shiyue thought about it for a long time, but still didn't bring any dumplings or rice cakes. Intellectually, she knew that she couldn't fight with everyone, but emotionally she had been afraid of the rope for ten years.
Because it was rare to see everyone in the capital, the prince held the event quite grandly this time. Huo Qiyang, Xu Wenqu, Qu Sinian, etc. were all invited.
Yan Shiyue was used to going to court anyway, so she sat on the men's side with Huo Qijing.
Separated by a screen, the prince asked Huo Qiyang to take care of Jie'er, Zhen'er, Qi, Eight, Nine and Ten.
Prince Ke rarely said any wise words and basically just listened without speaking. Several people chatted about the recently popular sun-chasing bikes, and the prince smiled and said: "We should make a smaller one, one that Jie'er is big enough to ride.
In fact, riding a bicycle on a concrete road is more convenient than riding a horse."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Give me money!"
The prince also smiled and said: "I won't lose your money. If you do well, I will reward you more!"
While talking and laughing, after a while, the Crown Princess took out the child. Everyone stood up and praised Jie'er a few times, and some praised Jie'er a few times.
You know, today's theme is that the prince gave birth to a son, and everyone praising Jie'er is also to consolidate this theme. No one will praise people like Qiyang Qiba for nothing.
But children don’t understand the unspoken rules of the adult world!
Ninety is not yet the age to be noticed by others and can only be silly, but seven or eight is when they think they are adults and want a sense of recognition. When ignored, their faces become a little embarrassed.
As soon as the child was carried down, an argument broke out on the other side of the banquet. Then the seventh prince choked and said: "The prince depends entirely on Sister Fuyan! Even the fourteenth uncle followed the sister.
!What are you so proud of!"
When he said one sentence, the whole house fell into silence.
This naughty kid!
Yan Shiyue frowned and was about to stand up when she heard Huo Qiyang's extremely calm voice: "Come with me."
I don’t know if the seventh prince had any expression. Anyway, the next moment, Huo Qiyang came out with the seventh prince, saluted the prince and said: "Your Highness, the seventh brother secretly drank wine and became a little confused. Please take him home."
Go and discipline.”
After the officials were startled, they were immediately convinced. This person's response was more agile and sophisticated than those of dozens of years old!
This sentence is the same as what Prince Ke said that day. The key is to violate taboos!
But that day, the prince could come forward to rescue the fourth prince, but in today's situation, it was obviously the seventh prince, the uncle, who scolded Jie'er, the nephew.
No matter who is right or wrong, it is difficult for Jie'er to come forward and it is difficult for the prince to speak.
As for Huo Qiyang's age, he is also Huo Qijing's younger brother. Calling the Seventh Prince his younger brother is worthy of being called him. The key is that this means that this matter must be resolved through family affairs, which is also the best way...otherwise
The seventh prince is a little boy in his teens and his younger brother. What can the prince do?
The most important thing is that Yan Shiyue is another person involved, and Huo Qiyang is Yan Shiyue's person! In short, it is really appropriate for him to come forward.
Political idiots like Yan Shiyue don't quite understand the subtleties involved, but everyone else knows them all.
The prince said with a smile: "I asked someone to make sobering soup. I'm too young. It's best not to hurt yourself. Ayang, Qilang, I'll trouble you."
Huo Qiyang said: "Yes."
He retreated with the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince also knew that he had said the wrong thing and followed him anxiously.
Yan Shiyue was absolutely furious.
The prince patted her shoulder and told her not to think too much.
It was only then that Yan Shiyue felt something subtle.
After the banquet was over, several children came over, and Yan Shiyue saw the eighth prince's twinkling eyes at a glance.
Yan Shiyue sneered.
In front of everyone, she ordered her subordinates to take the seventh prince back to the palace, throw him directly into a guest room and lock him up, and no one was allowed to enter to serve him.
The Seventh Prince is stupid, but he is not bad. If the Eighth Prince continues to act like a gunman like this, no one will be able to save him.
That night, Emperor Ming Yan issued an order to demote Ning Bin, the birth mother of the seventh prince, to a promise, but he did not ask anyone to come to the palace to take him.
When Yan Shiyue passed by in the morning, the seventh prince was like a quail, huddled on the couch with a quilt, his eyes were swollen from crying. When he saw her, he jumped down in fright and lowered his hands to salute.
Yan Shiyue said: "With your words, your mother has agreed, do you know?"
The seventh prince was stunned, lowered his head and cried: "I didn't mean it."
Yan Shiyue said: "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
The seventh prince said: "I shouldn't have said it, I shouldn't have scolded the prince! I was wrong!"
Yan Shiyue sneered: "It seems that you don't know where you are wrong! I won't talk about the rules and etiquette for now. Do you think the prince is incompetent, right? Do you think that my brother is just sitting in the position of the prince?
Because he takes advantage of his direct descendants, right?"
She directly threw the things in her hands on the table. She asked people to go to the palace to find them last night: "This is what the prince wrote and wrote when he was eight years old. You are now twelve years old. You
If you can write a word or an article that exceeds the age of eight, I will let you go back. If you can't surpass it in one day, you will stay here for me for one day, and I will punish you. Don't you admire me very much?
That’s good! I’ll teach you a lesson!”
She turned around and left.
Anyway, Emperor Ming Yan acquiesced, and she dared to shut him down when she said so. She only called a young eunuch who usually served the seventh prince to come over. He was not allowed to say a word or show a single expression. He was only allowed to take care of his daily life and finish his work.
Just leave.
Then he brought a pen and ink and asked the seventh prince to write.
The seventh prince was really afraid of her. After that time in the imperial study room, he saw her just like a mouse sees a cat.
He gingerly read everything she brought over, and then wrote an article on the same topic.
You must know that the prince has been taught by at least four great Confucians since he was a child. He is full of talents and is very skilled in calligraphy. Even if the seventh prince has taken advantage of him for several years, he is far from his opponent.
And what Yan Shiyue said about punishment was also real punishment.
Every night, someone would come and take away the articles he had written during the day. If they failed to pass the inspection, Yan Shiyue would come over with a ruler and slap him so hard that his hands would become swollen. Every night, the Seventh Prince would have to
I held my hands and cried until I fell asleep.
As a result, when she came out at night, Prince Ke stood in front of her and said angrily: "Why did you do this? He just said a few more words, but he said it to you, and there was no deep hatred. Why did you torture someone like this?
