There was a crash, and several chamberlains standing outside the East Palace were startled when they heard "Your Highness, this servant deserves to die." followed by the sound of slaps coming from inside.
The Fuqing eunuch's voice was annoyed: "Why are you so careless? This is a set of teacups given to the prince by your majesty."
"Okay." The prince's mellow voice also came, "Stop making noise and get down."
After a while, a eunuch came out, holding a broken teacup in his hand, with red palm prints on his face, and left hurriedly with his head lowered.
The other chamberlains looked at each other and immediately stood far away to avoid hearing things they shouldn't hear.
Fuqing poured tea over again and said softly: "Your Highness, calm down."
The prince looked very unhappy. Looking at the tea handed to him, he wanted to take it and throw it away again.
"Things are really different from the past." He finally suppressed his anger, "Chu Xiurong can actually influence the government in front of his father."
Fuqing lowered his head and comforted: "It's better to rely on Your Majesty to pity him."
The prince said calmly: "Last time, it was because His Majesty took pity on him, but this time it is not the case."
The last time it was just a little girl staying or leaving, and only two or three people were involved. The three princes were fighting each other to death, and the emperor was coaxing the children.
This time it was a major political matter, and the princes and kings were the people the emperor hated the most. Although he was forgiven due to the clan bloodline, the prince knew very well that the emperor was more willing to let the princes and kings die. Only death can vent the pain in his heart for decades.
Hate.
This time I finally got a chance.
No one can stop the emperor, but why did the third prince——
"How could he? How could he?" The prince gritted his teeth and said to Fu Qing, "Did he sway his father just by relying on pity?"
Fuqing sighed softly, of course he knew it, because what moved the emperor this time was not pity.
"After a series of events, first there was a competition between nobles and poor families, and then they were responsible for selecting scholars through strategies." He said in a low voice, "In addition to pity, the third prince has other impressions in His Majesty's heart, which are getting heavier and heavier. He
What you say is no longer just a pitiful and helpless plea in His Majesty's eyes, but a suggestion that can be considered and implemented."
The prince stood on the table with a dull expression. Because he valued what the third prince said, the emperor listened, and because of pity, the emperor was willing to give the third prince a chance.
"Has the final result of the court meeting been announced?" the prince asked.
Fu Qing lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty asked the third prince to lead his troops to the State of Qi to interrogate the King of Qi."
The troops here are of a completely different level than the previously discussed expedition. The greater role of these troops is to protect the third prince.
"Except for moving the capital, this is the first time that my third brother has traveled such a long distance in his life." The prince smiled half-heartedly, "And he is not only a prince, but also an envoy of the emperor. It is really different from the past."
Fu Qing said: "Your Highness, are you going to ask someone to dissuade Your Majesty again?"
In the end, the prince, who was stimulated by these words, could no longer suppress his anger. He grabbed the tea cup and threw it on the ground. With the sound of breaking, he squeezed out from between his teeth, "Who can dissuade me? How can I dissuade me? It's good to be alone."
My younger brother is going to attack the King of Qi on Gu’s behalf, and the thoughts of Gu’s good father are unpredictable and cannot be violated.”
Fuqing looked at the broken teacup on the ground, knelt down and shouted loudly: "This slave deserves to die!" He raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
The prince said coldly: "There is no need to cover up. I believe that people outside will not talk nonsense."
Anyone around him who dared to talk nonsense is already dead.
Fuqing responded and looked up at the prince: "Your Highness, although the present is not what it used to be, the future is bright."
The anger in the prince's eyes had dissipated after he smashed the tea cup, and he looked out the window: "Yes, the days are long. Okay, you can step back. I still have something to do. After I finish it, I can go see my good brother off."
Fuqing responded, picked up the teacup on the ground and walked out. Outside the hall, he saw that the servants who were standing there were all standing far away. When they saw him coming out, they only glanced at him quickly and lowered their heads.
Who can serve as an errand in the palace, and can also rob the East Palace? Who is not a human spirit?
Fuqing touched his face gently. In fact, it didn't mean anything if he slapped him or not.
Compared to the quietness in the East Palace, the harem, especially the palace of the third prince, was very lively. People were coming and going. There were medicinal materials sent by the queen, amulets sent by the queen, and the fourth prince came in evasively. At a glance, he saw the second prince.
The prince stood in the palace, pointing at the eunuch who was packing his luggage, "You need to bring this, you don't have to bring this."
"Second brother." The fourth prince suddenly felt at ease.
The second prince glanced at him and acted like an elder brother: "Are you here too?"
The fourth prince hurriedly took out a small box: "This is the collection of a rich merchant that I bought in the city - no, it is said to be invulnerable when worn. I'll let the third brother try it."
The second prince smiled: "You can take it first, the third brother is talking to his father."
Is the father here again? The fourth prince looked inward with envy. Not only did the father often come to the third prince, but his mother and concubine said that the father also often stayed in Concubine Xu's palace these days.
I gave it to Concubine Xu as an excuse, and I was able to sit in Concubine Xu's palace and say a few words to the emperor.
The excitement did not last long. The emperor was very resolute. Since the third prince took the initiative to ask for help, he ordered him to set off three days later.
Chen Danzhu sat on the chair, stirring the sweet soup, and looked up at Zhou Xuan, who was lying on the bed.
She asked: "The Third Prince is about to set off, why don't you go and ask His Majesty? If it's too late, it won't be your turn to lead the troops."
Zhou Xuan supported his head with one hand, scratched his ears with the other, and sneered: "It's not like I'm going to kill people. I don't have soldiers like this."
It's not surprising that it wasn't murder. The third prince asked the emperor to stop his campaign against the King of Qi. But the difference is that this time the third prince actually went to Qi in person. The third prince's requests and suggestions to the emperor had already spread.
Yes, Chen Danzhu naturally knows it too.
In this way, even if the King of Qi does not die, he will definitely not be the King of Qi, and Qi will become the first place to recruit soldiers based on policy - this is something that has never happened in the previous life.
"Hey!" Zhou Xuan shouted.
Chen Danzhu came back to his senses and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xuan pointed to the sweet soup in her hand: "Can it be eaten? How long have you been stirring it?"
Chen Danzhu pouted: "Didn't you say you don't want to eat?"
Zhou Xuandao: "I want to eat it again now."
Chen Danzhu stood up and walked over and handed him the sweet soup bowl. Zhou Xuan didn't take it and lay with his head on his hands: "What? The matter has been settled. There is no need for me to inquire about the news. Just ignore me?"
Chen Danzhu burst out laughing, picked up the spoon and brought it to his mouth. Zhou Xuan opened his mouth and bit it without hesitation.
"If you bite it off, you won't have to eat it." Chen Danzhu said with a smile.
While they were laughing and joking, Qingfeng poked his head out from outside: "Sir, His Highness the Third Prince is here to see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked away by the bamboo forest: "Miss Danzhu, His Highness the Third Prince passed by the mountain and came to say goodbye to you."
Are you leaving today? Chen Danzhu almost stuffed the sweet soup bowl into Zhou Xuan's mouth. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan caught it with his hand in time. Then he saw that Chen Danzhu was already walking out in a hurry: "It's my turn to see him off.
.”
Zhou Xuan called out to her with a bowl, and instead of scolding her, asked: "Have you prepared a farewell gift for the third prince?"
Chen Danzhu was angry: "I didn't have time to prepare gifts. You delayed me." After that, he walked away.
Zhou Xuan smiled with satisfaction from behind.
When Chen Danzhu walked out of the Taoist temple, he saw the third prince standing on the mountain road, wearing a white jade crown and dark clothes with a light blue skirt, his back to the road, watching the mountain scenery.
"Your Highness." Chen Danzhu called.
The third prince turned his head, saw the girl approaching, and smiled, dazzling in the thick green of spring.
