Emperor Jianwen was stunned: "Why did Anping come suddenly?"
Queen Yu's thoughts were racing and she said slowly: "It's probably because of Sheng Jinyue's incident."
"Anping took the rice dumplings and gave them to Master Dong. Master Dong ate the rice dumplings on the spot and suffered from diarrhea. After all, this matter has something to do with Anping. I think Anping came here to explain this to me."
Then he ordered: "Yu Qiao, let the sixth princess come in."
Logically speaking, as a princess, you are not allowed to enter the queen's bedroom at will, and you should wait in the side hall.
However, it was getting late at this time, and it was too time-consuming to go back and forth like this. Empress Yu was also happy to show her virtuous and generous mother-in-law, and directly asked Yu Qiao to lead the Sixth Princess into the bedroom.
Under the bright candlelight, the Sixth Princess looked aggrieved and shouted: "Father, Emperor, Mother."
"Anping, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Jianwen felt quite distressed when he saw his wife like this, and immediately opened his mouth to ask.
The Sixth Princess, who was usually gloomy and seldom talked about, was obviously aggrieved today and quickly told her about going to the Huainan Palace. Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the matter of taking the initiative to go to the Huainan Palace.
The point is that the King of Huainan protected his granddaughter and was unreasonable.
"...Father, I respect Mrs. Dong, so I gave the rice dumplings to each other. Unexpectedly, I accidentally harmed Mr. Dong. I felt guilty and uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, I almost implicated my friend Xie Mingxi..."
The sixth princess's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs: "I have suffered some grievances, so I can bear it. But when I think that my father will be looked down upon by others, I really can't bear it."
Emperor Jianwen felt sorry for his beloved daughter, with anger flashing in his eyes, and he snorted loudly: "What a King of Huainan! He is really bullying! My sixth princess, he actually dares to raise an army to punish me!"
The sixth princess's eyes were red: "Father, please make the decision for me!"
Emperor Jianwen responded without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will definitely support you."
Empress Yu wasted no time in fanning the flames: "The King of Huainan is the elder after all. Anping is young, so he doesn't need to take it to heart if he is scolded a few times."
elder?
Emperor Jianwen's eyes flashed coldly, and he said calmly: "Don't say Anping is innocent, even if Anping made a mistake, it's not the King of Huainan's turn to talk too much!"
…
In an aristocratic family, the most important thing is the elders and younger ones. As a junior, you are not allowed to contradict your elders, even arguing will be regarded as disobedience.
However, in the Tian family, who dares to act like an elder in front of Emperor Jianwen?
It seems that in the past two years, the King of Huainan has been too smooth and has become complacent...
Empress Yu knew Emperor Jianwen's temper very well, and when she saw his calm expression, she knew that he was really angry, and she felt happy. She also liked the sight of the Sixth Princess who came to complain.
"Anping," Queen Yu said warmly, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Don't worry, no one dares to bully the Tian family princess. And no one dares to bully my disciples."
The protégé mentioned by Queen Yu is none other than Xie Mingxi.
The Sixth Princess whispered: "Thank you, Father, and Queen Mother. It's getting late, so Anping will leave now. Please take a rest early."
Emperor Jianwen hummed: "After you go back, you should rest early. I heard that you have been very diligent in practicing martial arts recently, and you still have to complete your homework. You don't go to bed until midnight every night."
"Study is important, and your body is even more important. You must not hurt your body."
The Sixth Princess' eyes showed emotion, she nodded in agreement, then bowed and left.
After the Sixth Princess left, Emperor Jianwen's expression completely darkened.
Queen Yu saw this and felt quite happy.
When Emperor Jianwen became angry, King Huainan would feel better.
…
The next day is Umrah.
Five pavilion elders, six ministers and left and right ministers, plus the Yushi Guozijian Jijiu Hanlin Academy, are all eligible to participate in the small court meeting. There are also several high-ranking military generals, such as General Yin, General Linjiang, Wang Chu, etc.
.The King of Huainan who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion also went to court.
These more than thirty people are all important ministers of third rank or above. They are the pillars of Daqi!
Emperor Jianwen had been sitting on the Dragon Throne for more than ten years, and the power of the sky was growing day by day, and he could not express his joy or anger. However, today the King of Huainan opened his mouth twice, but was interrupted by Emperor Jianwen both times.
All the senior officials in the officialdom chuckled tacitly.
It seems that King Huainan has made the Emperor unhappy!
Those who are well-informed can't help but think of yesterday's news that caused a sensation among the noble and high-ranking officials in the capital... I heard that the Sixth Princess was also involved.
Therefore, having unworthy descendants and being stupid is more terrifying than anything else.
King Huainan was even more upset in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
As soon as the morning court ended, King Huainan immediately did not dare to leave the palace, but went to Yiqing Hall to plead guilty.
"...The old minister has been busy with the affairs of the clan all day long, and has neglected to teach his children and grandchildren. This girl Jinyue also learned a lesson this time and has been falling ill."
The King of Huainan was good at singing and reciting, with a look of shame on his face: "What happened last night was all due to a misunderstanding. I did not expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would go to the Huainan Palace in person. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he bowed his hands and bowed, as if Emperor Jianwen would not stand up until he could forgive his sin.
Emperor Jianwen had no reaction.
King Huainan's heart sank.
Oops!
I don’t know what the sixth princess said, but Emperor Jianwen was really angry! No, a sixth princess does not have such a big influence. It must be Empress Yu who took the opportunity to fan the flames and stir up trouble...
King Huainan was filled with hatred, but it was not appropriate to argue with his confession at this time, so he could only continue to bow.
After a while, Emperor Jianwen said calmly: "Pingshen!"
King Huainan, who was very old, was not as good as before. After a while, his back became sore and weak. After thanking him, King Huainan stood up straight, his back covered with cold sweat.
Heaven is intimidating, but the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.
At this time, Emperor Jianwen's expression was dull, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. What he said made King Huainan break into a cold sweat again: "All affairs in the clan's mansion are handed over to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang is busy all day long and has no time."
It's natural that the clone can't take care of the affairs of the palace."
The King of Huainan had no choice but to plead guilty again: "The old minister is incompetent and has no face to face the emperor."
Emperor Jianwen glanced at King Huainan: "Uncle Wang can manage the clan's residence in an orderly manner. If he is incompetent, there will be no more incompetent people in the clan."
"After cultivating one's moral integrity and managing one's family, one can govern the country and bring peace to the world. As Wang Shugui is a prince and is in charge of the clan's mansion, he should be even more cautious."
"If word spreads about what happened last night, how will the Huainan Prince's Mansion retain its dignity? Where will Uncle Wang's dignity survive?"
As expected, he was deliberately looking for trouble.
If I don't give an explanation today, I won't be able to pass this level.
King Huainan gritted his teeth secretly and continued to grovel: "I am scared. From now on, I will definitely teach my children and grandchildren strictly and never allow them to get into trouble."
Not to mention the difficult Sixth Princess!
Emperor Jianwen calmed down a little and said calmly: "Uncle Wang needs to keep in mind what I said today. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future."
Suddenly, I remembered what the Sixth Princess said last night, and added a few more words: "Anping's good friend is Uncle Wang's granddaughter, right? Uncle Wang, for Anping's sake, please be lenient."
