These days he was locked in the East Palace and couldn't leave even a single step, he was already in a hurry!
Originally, he thought that the fourth child would pick a bargain, but he didn't expect him to suffer on his own, and ended up committing suicide in fear of crime! This is simply perfect!
Hearing this news, the prince was almost insane. If he wasn't still thinking behind closed doors, he must have a good banquet with his confidants to celebrate!
Of course, this celebration is necessary, it is inconvenient right now, and it will be made up when he is free.
The crown prince thought with all his heart that now that the fourth child was gone, his position would be secure, so why bother, father would definitely let him go out! Even if the emperor couldn't think of it for a while, the queen mother would definitely intercede for her.
He didn't believe that at this time, the emperor would still be cruel to him.
You know, he is the future lord of the country, the only heir apparent who can take over the heavy burden of his father. As for the third prince? He never took him seriously!
But waiting left and right, the eager prince still didn't wait for someone from the palace. He couldn't help but ordered the crown princess to greet the queen.
It is true to ask for peace, and it is also true to ask for news and advice.
"Don't mention it!" Unexpectedly, the crown princess said with annoyed expression: "The concubine didn't see the queen mother at all! Aunt Qing, that old slave, is really confused. She even stopped me from seeing the queen mother! "
"What did you say? Aunt Qing stopped you from seeing your mother?" The crown prince opened his eyes wide as if he had heard a fairy tale, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Impossible! Aunt Qing is not this kind of person! She is the queen mother." My confidant, don't you know what you mean by going to see your mother? How could I stop you? "
The prince looked at the princess suspiciously: "Did you say something you shouldn't have said, which annoyed Aunt Qing?"
The prince's words stimulated the princess very well.
"No!" The crown princess said angrily, "Why did the concubine offend her? Even if the concubine offends her, she is just a slave, so what? Oh, she said that the queen mother is tired and has no time to see the minister. Concubine, the concubine can't let her report one more time, if she makes her own claim, the concubine will be driven back!"
The crown princess still said angrily: "When I see the queen mother next time, the concubine must ask the queen mother to uphold justice!"
The prince was a little confused, he didn't know what the queen meant by this? At this time, how could she not see herself
He didn't care about the princess's grievances, but asked: "Didn't the queen mother bring any words to the lonely king?"
Only then did the princess nod her head, and said sullenly: "What's the use of having words? Isn't it just the words that make your ears tingle? The queen mother said, please shut the door and think about your mistakes, and don't do anything!"
The prince was stunned for a while, and said in disbelief, "You heard me right? Is that true?"
The Crown Princess said angrily: "That's what Aunt Qing said! I'm not deaf, how could I not hear clearly! I don't know what the Queen Mother means!"
The prince couldn't help but also became depressed, and remained silent for a while.
He suddenly punched a few cases, and said: "The queen mother has always been decisive, she is very determined, why is she so confused this time! The lonely king saw that she was frightened by the matter of the fourth child, and he hesitated." , Shrink your head and tail!"
The concubine had already thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. When she heard the prince say that, she really spoke to her heart, and immediately said: "I think so too! Actually... the concubine thinks that it's not just The matter of the fourth master made the empress timid, and you, the prince... the empress must be afraid that you will make mistakes again—the concubine talks too much!"
Seeing the prince raised his eyes and glared at him dissatisfied, the princess immediately apologized wisely.
The prince snorted and unexpectedly did not blame her.
Instead of blaming her, the prince pondered in his heart, but thought that what she said was reasonable: the reason why the queen mother did not take any action for so long was because she was afraid that she would offend the emperor again
The queen mother is too careful! After what happened last time, can I still learn a lesson
"Or, the concubine should go to the palace again and explain to the queen mother that the crown prince has actually changed his ways!" The crown princess suggested.
The four words "rehabilitate oneself" hurt the prince very well, and made the prince feel so awkward when he heard it. But he couldn't find anything to defend himself, and seeing his wife didn't seem to be doing it intentionally, he could only endure it secretly.
"No need," the prince said impatiently: "Since the queen mother has doubts, she will not change her mind even if you go ten times! Isn't the queen mother worried that the lonely king has not learned the lesson? Say you know your mistake, and it's over!"
"Yes, yes! Why didn't the concubine think of it! This is even better!" The princess said happily: "What the emperor needs most at this time is the comfort of the prince! Let the emperor know that he still has a good son!"
"Well..." The prince nodded slightly, and said lightly, "You are tired too, go back and rest!" and went to the study.
Leaving the princess behind was a bit dazed, she couldn't figure out how she had offended the prince, and why he seemed angry and showed her face!
The crown prince quickly finished writing the scriptures, and couldn't wait for a moment to order someone to send it to Emperor Xiangqing. Still worried, he specifically told the sender to bring more money to the eunuch serving in Qianqing Palace, so that the eunuch must remember to show the copy to Emperor Xiangqing today.
In fact, he didn't need to spend so much money, and the eunuchs in Qianqing Palace didn't dare to neglect.
Although the prince is under house arrest, the queen is still alive. Not only was it well, when Emperor Xiangqing was angry, no one dared to disturb him, only the queen came and went freely and her color remained unchanged, moreover, Concubine Sun Guifei was personally bestowed to death by the queen.
In addition, the fourth prince has already "judged himself in fear of crime", the third prince, no one has him in his eyes now.
Therefore, although the prince has not been released, it is actually the same for everyone as being released. Just ask, who would dare not listen to him
Emperor Xiangqing soon saw the booklet sent by the crown prince, and was immediately out of breath, his chest was oppressed for a long time before he recovered.
He threw the folder on the imperial case with a "snap", didn't speak for a while, but let out a long sigh of relief.
What can he say
After all, the only thing he can count on now is this son! Moreover, he is still the son of him and the queen.
Although he paid attention to the third prince and assigned him an errand, he never thought about the third prince's position.
"Poor me and the queen's painstaking efforts!" Emperor Xiangqing sighed, leaned back slumped, a little disheartened.
He also knew about the fact that the Crown Princess went to Kunning Palace to be shut down. He thought that in this way the prince would understand the painstaking efforts of him and the queen, but he didn't expect that instead of understanding, he couldn't wait to—
Emperor Xiangqing gritted his teeth, he could only sigh.
Who told him that he would have few heirs
Emperor Xiangqing thought for a while, then raised his voice and called "Fuhai", and ordered lightly: "Go to the East Palace and pass on my will. Since the crown prince already knows that he is wrong, he doesn't have to shut himself up and think about it tomorrow, and continue to listen to the government! "
After the zhezi was sent away, the prince waited anxiously. He suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he handed over the paper on impulse and didn't listen to the Queen's words.
Because in his impression, his mother never made mistakes in handling affairs. Since the queen mother told him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, he should do so.
He shouldn't be impulsive! What if I offend my father
The princess couldn't help seeing him like this, so she smiled and persuaded: "You don't have to worry too much, the prince! We are just throwing stones to ask the way. Even if the father will be angry because of this, there is still the queen mother, and the mother will definitely help us. Speaker!"
The prince couldn't help being startled, he glared at the princess and frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did the lonely king get worried? The lonely king is very confident!"
The corner of the princess' mouth twitched secretly, and she gave him a blank look. Xindao, you are still stubborn, your thoughts are just like written on your face!
But she didn't know, but among the superiors, who likes their thoughts to be seen through? Especially this kind of not very confident mind!
When Fuhai came to the East Palace, the prince's heart immediately twitched, his whole body was like a taut string, as if it would break if he touched it lightly!
After hearing Fu Hai's announcement, he immediately trembled with joy, his eyes shone brightly, kowtowing his head and thanking him was a happy brow, that was a joy!
Of course, Fu Hai received three times more silver than usual.
The entire East Palace was boiling, boiling with joy. Everyone knelt down to congratulate the crown prince, and the crown prince was overjoyed. He expressed on the spot that he wanted to have fun together, and everyone had a reward!
Not only was he delighted, but he was immediately filled with confidence.
He thought to himself: It seems that the queen mother is really old! When a person gets old, his judgment will fail, and he will lose the decisiveness and courage to act when he was young! The queen mother is old, and now the world is her own! In the future, when things happen, you have to think more about it and make up your own minds. You don't have to listen to your mother for everything!
Of course, it is one thing not to listen to the queen mother in major matters, but another thing to be filial to the queen mother. He will still be a dutiful son. And in order to prevent his mother from being sad because he didn't listen to him, he will behave more filial to her than before.
When the prince thought this way, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier!
From then on, the prince became more and more proud and self-satisfied, more and more conceited and unable to listen to people's words, and in the eyes of Emperor Xiangqing, he became more and more disappointed.
The queen always plays the role of a loving mother. A kind mother who tried hard to persuade her son but failed, and was well-intentioned.
The next day, the prince appeared in the court hall wearing a turmeric round collar and four-claw patterned python robe. Come, one after another came forward to say hello.
