The fourth prince looked at the sixth princess intently.
The gloomy and talkative sixth princess in the past has gradually faded away from her gloominess. Her frailty has disappeared, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that she did not have in the past. Her deep and beautiful eyes are shining with confidence.
The sixth princess was not just joking, she really planned to compete with him!
How ridiculous!
The fourth prince raised his thin lips in a slightly sarcastic arc: "In this case, I will wait!"
The sixth princess twitched her lips.
The third prince finally came to his senses and calmed things down with a cough: "Sixth prince sister is still young and has only been learning archery for half a year. Even if she loses to her brother, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
Unfortunately, the Sixth Princess didn't appreciate it at all: "We haven't competed yet, and we don't know who will win yet. It's better to save these words of comfort from Brother Three Emperors!"
Third Prince: "..."
Other people's sisters are either pretty or cute, so why do they have such a bad-tempered sister?
When the fifth prince saw that the third prince was embarrassed, he stopped talking and quickly changed the topic: "I am going to meet my father, the emperor and my mother, do you want to go to Jiaofang Palace together?"
The third prince was eager to change the subject and immediately agreed.
The fourth prince was noncommittal and nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, the sixth princess also said: "I will go with you."
The princes looked at each other quickly, feeling secretly surprised.
The sixth princess usually lives alone and is not close to the princes. She rarely interacts with her eldest sister, Princess Changping. Today she is willing to go to Jiaofang Palace with them...
It’s okay if I can’t think clearly at the moment or don’t want to think about it.
The fifth prince smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to Jiaofang Palace as soon as we go."
…
The three princes and the sixth princess came to Jiaofang Hall hand in hand.
Emperor Jianwen and Queen Yu returned to the palace early and were sitting and chatting. When they heard that their children had arrived, Emperor Jianwen was quite happy and immediately said with a smile: "Announcement of their brother and sister's entry into the palace."
Empress Yu also smiled and said: "It's rare for them to come to Jiaofang Hall together, so I immediately sent an order to the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch. With their brothers and sisters accompanying them, the emperor can use more for lunch today."
Emperor Jianwen nodded happily.
"My son, I have met my father and my mother." The three princes saluted together with their hands raised.
The sixth princess bowed in frustration: "My daughter has met her father and the queen, and her mother."
Emperor Jianwen was a young emperor who had been in charge of the world for more than ten years. He had the air of an emperor that made people surrender. However, in front of all his sons and daughters, Emperor Jianwen would not act like an emperor. He smiled gently and said: "I can live without ceremony."
The fifth prince first apologized with shame on his face: "My son, I did not do well in the competition today and my ranking was not good. I have embarrassed my father."
Emperor Jianwen was indeed a little dissatisfied: "Your Third Emperor brother won fourth in the four-book competition yesterday, and today you only got seventh in the arithmetic competition. Your ranking is indeed not good. You usually claim to be the best in arithmetic at Songzhu Academy, but today you have been defeated by
The students of Lianchi Academy and Boyu Academy. It can be seen that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."
The fifth prince's face became even more ashamed: "That's what my father taught you."
Queen Yu calmly reassured her: "The most important thing in studying is to avoid being arrogant and complacent. Learn your lesson and work hard in the future."
The fifth prince responded in a low voice.
Then, Empress Yu smiled and praised the third prince: "Yesterday, you performed very well in the four-book competition."
The third prince responded humbly: "If you don't make it into the top three, I feel quite ashamed and don't dare to praise you as my mother."
Empress Yu had always been friendly to the third prince, and she smiled when she heard this and said: "All those who participated in the competition are young talents. They are fourth, and their rankings are quite good."
The fourth prince's eyes dimmed.
It's always like this every time.
Several brothers came to Jiaofang Palace together. They were both concubines, and Queen Yu was always very kind to the third prince. Obviously he was the most outstanding one among the princes, but Queen Yu ignored him and only praised the third prince.
Fortunately, Emperor Jianwen liked him more.
"Tomorrow is the archery competition. Are you sure you will win the first place?" Emperor Jianwen asked with a smile.
The fourth prince is tall and tall, with a handsome face. Except for his temperament, which is a bit cold and hard, he is very similar to the young Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen looked at the third prince as if he were looking at himself when he was young.
The principle of no preference!
The fourth prince responded briefly: "My son is determined to win!"
The sixth princess suddenly said: "I will also take part in the archery competition tomorrow. I am not sure who will come first."
The princes had different expressions.
Emperor Jianwen was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Okay, okay, my sixth princess is so ambitious, and she will not be outdone by women. Good! Very good!"
The Sixth Princess's rapid progress in shooting made Master Lian full of praise, and Queen Yu naturally heard about it. However, even Queen Yu felt that it was impossible for the Sixth Princess to defeat the Fourth Prince...
Queen Yu was about to open her mouth when she heard the sixth princess say again: "If my daughter is lucky enough to win the first place, how will her father reward her?"
Emperor Jianwen was quite indulgent towards the Sixth Princess and promised with a smile: "Whatever you want, I will grant it to you."
The sixth princess raised her head and looked at Emperor Jianwen: "My daughter wants to wear men's clothes for a day, pretending to be her seventh brother, and be at the knees of her father, the emperor, and her mother."
…
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jiaofang Hall suddenly became quiet.
The sixth princess glanced around calmly.
Emperor Jianwen's eyes showed a sad look, Empress Yu frowned slightly, the third prince's eyes flashed slightly, the fourth prince's expression was cold, and the fifth prince's eyes showed sadness.
The passing of the seventh prince was a heartache for Emperor Jianwen. No one in the palace dared to mention it.
No one wants to mention it.
"It has been more than three years since the seventh brother passed away. Probably not many people in the palace remember him anymore."
There was a deep look of sadness in the eyes of the Sixth Princess: "My mother and concubine are seriously ill and it is all because of my Seventh Brother. My father, the Queen and my Queen have not mentioned it in their mouths, and they must have never forgotten it in their hearts."
"My seventh brother and I are twins, we have the same appearance. I want to wear his clothes, and I hope everyone will remember him and don't forget his appearance."
Emperor Jianwen was silent for a long time.
Suddenly a handsome boy's face flashed in his mind.
"Father, are you free today? How about spending some time with Hong'er?" Little Sheng Hong smiled cutely and got into his arms.
The exact same face also came in: "My daughter also wants to stay with her father."
Two twin sisters and one brother, they look the same, smart and cute.
Besides his eldest daughter, he loved these siblings the most, and he often called them to accompany him.
It's a shame that Heaven has no eyes to take back his seventh prince early. And his sixth princess has also lost her joy and smile, and has become gloomy and silent, which is heartbreaking.
However, no matter how much pain there is, it will go away with the passage of time.
If the Sixth Princess hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten his favorite son...
"Father, please grant your daughter's request." The sixth princess's voice sounded.
Emperor Jianwen exhaled and said calmly: "Okay, as long as you win the first place, I will accept your request."
