Chen Zhan couldn't help grinning in amusement when he heard how beautiful it was.
From the corner of his eye, Chen Shangshu caught sight of his son's amused face. He felt angry and snorted, "Why are you laughing?"
Chen Zhan had long been accustomed to his own father's temper of beating him up whenever he disagreed. He responded with a snarky tongue: "I haven't been to my father's study for more than half a year. My father asked me to speak tonight.
I am happy in my heart, so of course I have to laugh."
Chen Shangshu twitched his eyes and resisted the urge to take action.
Today he was exposed by Princess Duanrou in the Yiqing Palace. No matter what, he would have to endure it for a while...
By the way, who does it bother the father if he beats his son? Why can't he beat his son?
The more Chen Shangshu thought about it, the more depressed he became.
Chen Zhan had so much experience in being beaten. Chen Shangshu's expression was uncertain, but he held back and showed no signs of taking action. Chen Zhan thought about it briefly and guessed what had happened.
Chen Zhan asked tentatively: "Why is father in a bad mood today?"
Chen Shangshu snorted again: "While we were waiting for the discussion today, Princess Duanrou suddenly spoke up and accused the Ministry of Industry of delaying the construction of the fortifications. The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry was scolded by Her Highness the Princess and was speechless."
"Her Royal Highness is just a servant of pen and ink, how can she dictate political affairs? How is it appropriate for a woman to be involved in politics? What will happen if this continues?"
What else?
Make Princess Duanrou the crown prince!
The father and son knew what was going on, but neither one of them was willing to pierce this layer of paper.
Chen Zhan pretended to be dumbfounded with an innocent face: "The emperor deals with political affairs every day and is busy and exhausted. With Princess Duanrou helping to share your worries, why not?"
Chen Shangshu's eyes began to sparkle.
Listening to Chen Zhan's words, one realizes that it is not too unfair that he is always beaten by his own father: "Did my father say something unpleasant in front of Princess Duanrou today? Princess Duanrou is young and energetic.
But I won’t tolerate it forever. My father always takes advantage of the fact that he is a veteran minister of the three dynasties and does not take His Highness the Princess seriously. Sooner or later, he will suffer a loss."
Wouldn’t it be a big loss today?
Princess Duanrou's words were sharp and exposed his old face without mercy. The emperor used gentle methods again, which made him completely disadvantaged and was rubbed to the point of suffering.
Chen Zhan glanced at his own father's ugly face and knew that he was right. He raised the corners of his mouth and gloated without being too obvious: "Father should have restrained himself a long time ago."
"The Emperor is kind and kind. He can endure it for a while, but he cannot endure it for a lifetime. If he turns against him, won't he be the unlucky father?"
"There is also Princess Duanrou. Although there is a word "soft" in her title, her temperament is not very gentle. Her sharp tongue is exactly the same as the queen. Her father has been trying his best to oppose the princess entering the court, and the princess has been holding back a strong feeling in her heart and found an opportunity.
It would be strange if it doesn’t happen.”
"In the final analysis, this is the world of the Sheng family and the empire of the emperor. There is no way for ministers to dictate who the emperor allows to join the government. My father is a veteran of three dynasties, so don't rely on your seniority to always talk too much and make people annoying.
...Oh, oh, oh, we talked so well, why does father want to take action again? Can't I just leave?"
…
The next day, the emperor summoned Chen and Zhan to accompany him to the Yiqing Palace.
Chen Zhanyou still has faint slap marks on his face.
Zhao Qi and Lu Chi were both amused. Sheng Hong slightly raised his thick eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.
Ah Luo was outspoken and snorted: "Yesterday, my father and I discussed the principles of loyalty and filial piety with Chen Shangshu. Chen Yushi is a minister of the emperor, and Chen Shangshu is always violent. Isn't this showing off to my father?"
Chen Zhan was deeply moved: "I just found out today that Her Royal Highness the Princess is so kind to me and actually opened her mouth to support me."
A Luo snorted again: "What's the use of opening your mouth! Isn't Chen Shangshu ready to beat him?"
Chen Zhan: "..."
Zhao Qilu laughed unkindly.
Sheng Hong was also amused and coughed and said: "Aluo, don't make unreasonable comments about important ministers in the court behind their backs. And don't say anything to instigate a relationship between father and son."
A Luo flattened her mouth and became silent.
Sheng Hong, on the other hand, asked curiously: "Why did your father beat you again?"
He and A Luo were both red-faced and pale-faced, and they dealt with Chen Shangshu very hard. Logically speaking, Chen Shangshu should have tolerated it for a while.
"Don't mention it!" Chen Zhan sighed: "I just told a few truths."
However, Ba Ba recounted the incident of being beaten last night: "...My father was too angry. With just these few words, he was so angry that he slapped me. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise
, I also had to get a slap on the right cheek.”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi laughed unkindly: "You are so mean-mouthed and don't need a slap in the face. If you don't get beaten, who will?"
Lu Chi also chuckled.
Sheng Hong and his daughter couldn't help laughing.
Chen Zhan was thick-skinned and was not angry even after being teased by everyone. He said with amusement: "Actually, my dad was not too angry this time and was not willing to use all his strength. After one night, the palm prints on my face were almost gone.
.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the honor to enter the palace today.”
A Luo laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
…
During dinner, A Luo told Xie Mingxi and Gu Shanchang this interesting story.
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly: "Chen Zhan is good at everything, but his mouth is too open."
"Isn't it?" Chief Gu Shan was also happy: "Speaking of which, Chen Shangshu is also a strange person. He has a good official reputation in the court and is quite friendly to his colleagues and subordinates. But he is a little cruel to his own son.
.”
There are many interesting things about strange people in this capital city. One of them was when Chen Shangshu beat his son.
Having said that, who wouldn’t be disappointed to meet such a slutty son?
Not to mention, Chen Zhan is still the eldest son who has high hopes of establishing a family in the future!
Thinking of Chen Zhan's palm prints hanging around in front of people all day long, Ah Luo couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire Chen Yushi. If it had been anyone else, he would have gone back home to report his illness and hide in shame. Chen Yushi is not particular.
If these people can walk without any problems, then they will go out to work as errands."
Chen Zhan would only complain of illness if he was beaten until his skin and flesh were bruised and unable to get out of bed.
As long as he can move, Chen Zhan will never hide from others.
Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "If he gets sick after being slapped, wouldn't Chen Zhan have to stay at home for half a year?"
A Luo burst into laughter: "Mother, you are really sharp and mean in your words."
Gu Shanchang was in a good mood and joked with a smile: "Actually, your mother's tongue is much better than that of Chen Yushi. It's a pity that your mother is not a man and cannot become an official in the court. Otherwise, she alone can provoke someone
Most of the courtiers."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
A Luo laughed muffledly.
The queen is still not angry if she can tease her like this. There is only one person inside and outside the palace, Gu Shanchang.
