The third prince stared dumbfoundedly at Zhu Ying talking to herself as soon as he came in, but he kicked away the thorn stick he wanted to take off the fourth prince's back from the beginning, and even started to pull out the thorns with his hands and feet. However,
, seeing Zhu Ying immediately taking the porcelain bottle handed over by Yuquan after cleaning up the fine thorns, taking a sip and spraying it on, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Regardless of whether it's medicine or soju, if you suddenly touch the wound, how painful will it be?
Sure enough, the fourth prince screamed in pain, but Zhu Ying ignored him. He seemed to be hurting himself and subconsciously wanted to pounce on him, but he didn't have time to take a step forward.
Someone grabbed his wrist tightly. Looking back, he saw who was holding him, not the Queen Mother?
He looked at the Queen Mother with an almost pleading look, but all he got in return was a more stern look from the Queen Mother. When he turned around again, he saw Zhu Ying slap the fourth prince's buttocks a few more times, and he became even more anxious.
Burned.
And Princess Deyang was also frightened, especially when she saw the third prince almost crying. Thinking that the third prince came to her door in person early this morning and begged her to come and intercede, how could she, who was already soft-hearted, still
Sit back and watch? Although she has always been the most timid in front of the Queen Mother, she still had to bite the bullet and said: "Emperor Grandma, the fourth brother is still young..."
"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Princess Deyang didn't seem to know what to say, the third prince begged, "It's all my fault as an elder brother. If he wants to be beaten or punished, it's my turn to do it for him."
bear……"
"You are confused!"
The Queen Mother finally became furious, slapped the armrest, and stood up directly: "This is a shocking thing. When it comes to your mouth, it turns into a young and ignorant negligence? One is so clumsy that he doesn't know how to plead, and the other
I just know that all the mistakes I made are my fault. If you two siblings are even half as smart as Yingying, the emperor and I don’t have to worry!"
What does it mean?
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around to look, he realized that Zhu Ying had slapped the fourth prince's buttocks twice more, and he suddenly started to cry out in pain. At this time, even if he continued,
After realizing it, he had already realized one thing - that is, just after removing the thorns and spraying the medicine, he and Princess Deyang hurriedly begged for mercy, but it seemed that they had not heard the fourth prince's screams.
So, Zhu Ying's move that looked like spanking the fourth prince just now... was a fake? Was it for the Queen Mother to see?
The third prince's heart moved, and he immediately looked towards Zhu Ying, only to see that Zhu Ying didn't even raise her eyelids, and continued to slap the fourth prince's buttocks: "Next time, do you dare to show off to the palace outside?
What's the matter? Your teacher has warned you several times to use your brain, but why don't you listen? Why are you so filial when the emperor and the queen mother are so angry? Huh?"
He looked left and right, and saw the fourth prince bursting into tears, dancing and yelling something like he was wrong. There was no sign of any fraud. He was slightly confused at first, and then he suddenly realized. Daqing is
Only after the fourth prince heard his conversation with the Queen Mother, did he know that he and Zhu Ying would act together!
Princess Deyang who followed the news was really confused and didn't understand Zhu Ying's intentions at all.
When the Queen Mother saw that one of the siblings had finally woken up and the other had been deceived so easily, she couldn't help but feel angry and amused. Most of the anger she had been filled with just now was extinguished in an instant. She inhaled gently.
After taking a breath, he simply sat down and said with a half-smile: "Okay, Yingying, stop pretending to teach Shiro a lesson!"
"When Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, at least one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer. It's better for you two. You pretend to hit me and fool me, and you even cooperate so badly! Do you call that a beating? It's more like just tickling Shiro!"
Seeing that her and the fourth prince's tricks were exposed, Zhu Ying started to laugh.
However, she showed no fear at all. She picked up the fourth prince from her body, took the soft towel handed over by Yuquan, wiped the fourth prince's face randomly twice, and then hooked him twice with her feet.
They put a chair side by side, then pressed the fourth prince on it to lie down, and poked the back of the person's head with his finger: "Just lie down on your back, I will take care of you later!"
Seeing that the skirt on her body was wrinkled due to the rescue just now, Zhu Ying adjusted it a few times with some regret, then walked forward and saluted calmly: "The Queen Mother just said that Shiro and I were cheating. That is really unjust."
I did it. Those few times I beat him made him cry for father and mother, and tears and snot nearly flowed all over me. How could it be fake? If you don’t believe it, you can ask Yuquan to check the injury in a while. I have quite strong hands!"
"Yes, yes, when you were a child, your second brother made a mistake and was beaten. At a young age, you took away the family magic stick and said that you would help your grandmother and your father beat him. As a result, you beat him until he was out of breath and his buttocks were red. In fact,
Even the oily skin is not broken at all. You brothers and sisters have cooperated so many times since you were young, what does your little battle with Shiro mean now?"
Zhu Ying didn't expect that even the little things between herself and her second brother could be known to the Queen Mother, so she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She pretended not to see the third prince's stunned look, lowered her head and saluted again.
"The fourth prince did make a big mistake this time, but he really didn't mean it. What's more, others have scheming intentions. If there is no this time, there will be another time. He is not very scheming. If he doesn't fall for it this time, he will fall for it next time."
"He should be taught a lesson, but the emperor ordered people to find all the thorns with thorns last night. Maybe he really wanted to beat him up, but it was useless. That's because the emperor actually
I still thought that after all, Liu Feng is from the Qianqing Palace. If he knew that he carried thorn sticks from the Qianqing Palace to the Qingning Palace to plead guilty, the emperor might not even think about going to court."
"I know what the Queen Mother is thinking. She is angry that the emperor did not teach the eldest prince and the second prince well in the past, and now he is so indulgent to the fourth prince. What if all the sons are raised crookedly... But even if the fourth prince
He is reckless, impulsive, and often reckless in everything he does, but he has a good heart."
"So I just obeyed the authority in a hurry and without asking you, I just undressed him, pulled out the thorns and applied medicine to him, and even gave him a slap... although this is not my business.
, However, since the emperor has told the story of Yongping and I in public, I think it is always right for me to regard him as half a younger brother."
"I only have an older brother, no older sister or younger siblings, and the fourth prince always calls me Sister Yingying, so it's rare for me to do what a sister should do. If the Queen Mother wants to punish her, she might as well punish him to copy books for a while, and then take care of him.
Accept his self-righteous temper, and if there is still anger left, don't punish the third prince, let alone blame Princess Deyang, just blame me."
At this point, Zhu Ying bowed down and said: "After much thought, the third prince is steady, Princess Deyang is upright, and the only bad example that the fourth prince can learn from in this palace now is probably me! The Queen Mother wants to
Blame it, just blame me for teaching him bad things!"
The Queen Mother looked at Zhu Ying who was prostrate on the ground in disbelief. She felt that it was the first time in her life that she had truly gotten to know this girl who she had always thought had her own way of doing things, but who was sincere and frank.
And when she saw the third prince wiping his eyes with his sleeves, and then rushing over to beg for mercy, she raised her hand and saw Yuquan dragging the third prince over, and also grabbed Princess Deyang who was also coming over.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"It is said that those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. Yingying, ever since you met Zhang Shou, a young man with an unparalleled eloquence, you have become completely different from before!"
Zhu Ying was not surprised by the Queen Mother's statement. She kowtowed slightly and said calmly: "When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. I have gotten along with Ah Shou a lot, and I will naturally learn his advantages. etc.
After I marry him, I will learn more!"
"I'm not complimenting you!" The Queen Mother laughed dumbly, but the smile finally dissipated her anger. "You used to be sharp-tongued, but now you are even more glib! Shiro used to have him.
The eldest brother and the second brother are in the front, and all the impulsiveness and recklessness in their bones are well hidden. Now there are no natural enemies, and the best third brother is going to be the prince again, so there is no law!"
When he heard Zhu Ying praise him and put the blame on himself, the fourth prince felt extremely sad and wanted to rush up to stop Zhu Ying. But just now when she left him to plead guilty in front of the Queen Mother, she blocked him with a handkerchief.
his mouth.
But Yuquan directly pulled the third prince and Princess Deyang back to his chair. He wanted to struggle but had no room to move, so he could only hurriedly pick out the gag handkerchief. When the Queen Mother said this, he felt even more aggrieved.
He wanted to scream, but I didn't, but vaguely, he also realized that he had indeed been too proud in recent days.
The empress became deposed, the most hated eldest prince and the second prince were all expelled from the capital, and the third brother he liked the most was about to become the prince, and the three mountains above his head were no longer visible. Didn't he just do whatever he wanted?
Zhu Ying was also slightly distracted by the Queen Mother's judgment, and then smiled and said: "The Queen Mother said the same thing, there are no natural enemies, and when you feel relaxed, your words and deeds will naturally be a little out of control. This is not only the fourth prince, but also me! I have been since I was a child.
I hate the queen and those two guys. Now that they are gone, my father and eldest brother are back safely and have their own jobs. My mother is also back, and I have got my wish..."
"So, I was already unscrupulous, and now I am even more lawless. Otherwise, I would not dare to go to the Si Li Jian Wai Ya Ya!"
"How dare you say that!"
The Queen Mother was finally angry at Zhu Ying, but the corners of her mouth soon drooped again, and she scolded sternly: "In order to plead for Shiro, you dare to bring out the stupid thing you did before... just point it out.
The emperor and I have always been manipulating you, and we won’t blame you, right?”
"Of course I don't dare." Zhu Ying straightened up without thinking, still with a smile on her face, "Chu Kuan, the Master of Ceremonies, can plot against himself, so isn't it more normal for outsiders to plot against the Supervisor of Ceremonies? I
Both the Fourth Prince and me are brainless people. They are impulsive and reckless when things happen, and they only rely on their will. However, I have so many elders and Ah Shou to take care of me, and the Fourth Prince..."
Zhu Ying glanced sideways at the fourth prince, who had finally taken out the handkerchief from his mouth, and revealed a very cunning smile: "It is good for Ah Shou to be the third prince's teacher, but the fourth prince needs stricter discipline.
The Queen Mother really wants to teach him a lesson. In addition to punishing him by copying books to temper his temper, why not choose a more severe teacher for him and take good care of him. For example..."
With a roll of her eyes, the eldest lady said lightly: "For example, a teacher like my elder brother."
Boom - In an instant, the fourth prince fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, in today's weather, the main hall where the Queen Mother lived in Qingning Palace was covered with thick furs. They were good things for the emperor to honor his biological mother, so he
The fall was not heavy, but the panic in his heart was nothing short of serious. Before he could even get up, he screamed loudly.
"Royal Grandma, my grandson accepts punishment. You can give me a hundred or two hundred beatings, or you can punish me by copying books. My grandson will definitely change his ways in the future!"
Even though the thunder was furious just now, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she looked at the panicked posture of the fourth prince. Of course she knew why the fourth prince was afraid of Zhu Tingfang. With her grandson's strict temperament, when she first entered the palace as a child,
He made the eldest and second princes stupefied so much that when the emperor caught him and taught the third and fourth princes, he immediately swollen the palms of the naughty fourth prince's hands!
On the contrary, the teacher Zhang Shou held the imperial ruler given by the emperor, but he once handed it over to Zhang Chen. Many people in the Banshan Hall were touched by the ruler, but the third and fourth princes were not touched even once.
This teacher is also unusual in being so obedient!
A spanking is only temporary pain, and at worst it can cause you to lie on the bed for ten days or eight months. But if Zhu Tingfang becomes the teacher, the fourth prince only feels that he will be in pain every day for the next ten or eight years. His life will definitely be a mess.
It was gloomy. Although he knew how talented Zhu Tingfang was in both civil and military affairs, he only needed to be an idle king in his life. Why would he be so talented?
Therefore, he climbed up to the Queen Mother on all hands and knees and knelt down next to Zhu Ying. He was about to swear again and swear to express his confession and repentance, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Yingying is right, Shiro is indeed
He owes discipline. The emperor manipulated him, Sanlang let him, and his mother and concubine could not control him. As for Zhang Shou, there are so many students, and an honest boy like Sanlang is just fine..."
"With Shiro's irresponsible temper, how can he have the time to keep an eye on him all the time? He really needs a strict and powerful teacher like your elder brother to discipline him!"
Seeing that the fourth prince immediately collapsed on the ground, his appearance was much worse than when he had just shouldered a thorn to plead guilty. The Queen Mother showed a smile, and then she calmly said: "It's just that Yingying, your eldest brother is now rectifying the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department."
It’s too late, how can you have the time to teach a naughty child for the emperor? It’s really overqualified. In this case, Zhang Shou’s ruler should still be there, right?”
Zhu Ying just casually took out her eldest brother to scare the fourth prince, and saw that the man was really soft and turned into a puddle of mud. She was very satisfied with the result, so it was not surprising to her that the Queen Mother said that talent was overkill and underutilized. But when the Queen Mother asked about the ruler, she
She was puzzled, hesitated for a moment and nodded to express that of course she was still there. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually said something that shocked her.
"Zhang Shou's attendant, I remember his name was Ah Liu? Remember the time when Shiro ran away after failing the Jiuzhang Hall exam? He was the one who chased him back and taught Shiro a lesson? Yuquan, send Shiro there and let him
He gave this kid thirty ring rulers in front of you! If he really dares to hit him, let him bring Zhang Shou's imperial ruler with him in the future, and he will be beaten as long as it is necessary, no mercy!"
