"Father, son, son, this is what you should do, count, it's not a credit—"
Before the third prince finished speaking, Emperor Xiangqing reprimanded him in a low voice: "Nonsense! Why can't you count it as a credit? This is a great credit! I want a big reward! Prince, I forgive you for your innocence, tell me quickly!"
The prince knew that if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't avoid it, so even though he was very depressed, he had no choice but to speak. He reluctantly said: "Naturally, he should be rewarded with the highest grades, gold, silver and wealth should be the highest grades..."
But there was no mention of Emperor Xiangqing's reward.
Emperor Xiangqing sneered in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "The crown prince is right! The third child is not too young, and it's time to build a mansion! I'm going to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of this matter! There are also gold, silver and silk There are countless antiques, so I won't go into details, the prince will draw one later!"
The prince had no choice but to be extremely annoyed, but he could only lead the order.
"Father, my son, my son—" Seeing this, the third prince felt inexplicably uneasy, and stammered to decline, but seeing the staring gaze of Emperor Xiangqing, he dared not speak again.
Emperor Xiangqing was also a little annoyed at him: I am trying to save face for you, but you are good, you keep pushing it away, why do you want to save my face? If it weren't for the fact that the credit for disaster relief is actually placed there, I would have doubted whether it was you who did it...
The third prince murmured, not daring to say any more.
Emperor Xiangqing saw that he was in a daze, and he was not here at all, and he didn't know how to thank him, so he had to remind him a little helplessly: "Thank you!"
The third prince just woke up like a dream, and hastily knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.
Seeing this, the prince was secretly happy, the corners of his mouth curled up and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud: This stupid and stupid elm lump, he can do meritorious service, what a goddamn luck!
Emperor Xiangqing was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the third prince: Even if you want to be modest, you don't behave like this! What is enough is enough, do you understand
And, even if you're being humble, keep up your poise, okay? That's it, no matter how you look at it - cringe!
How did he know that the third prince didn't have any tricks to show modesty, he was really uneasy, and really felt that he deserved it!
Emperor Xiangqing immediately lost the mood to discuss matters, and waved his hand and ordered "Retire!"
All the officials filed out and left in twos and threes. Many people couldn't help but look at the third prince a few more times, thinking the same as Emperor Xiangqing.
"Third Prince, congratulations!" Outside Qianqing Palace, the Crown Prince stopped the Third Prince with a half-hearted smile, his eyes full of sarcasm.
The third prince hardly spoke to the prince, let alone the prince took the initiative to talk to him, he was at a loss all of a sudden, hesitated and didn't know what to say, forced a smile back, and said: "Prince..."
When the prince heard that he called himself "Prince" instead of "Emperor Brother", the anger in his heart subsided, but he still didn't give him a good face, and hummed: "You heard what Father said just now. Right? What reward do you want, tell me, the lonely king can add something to the list for you, so that the father will not be dissatisfied and feel that the lonely king has bullied you! Oh, or, you can draw up a list yourself, The lonely king will submit it to the royal father on your behalf!"
"No, no!" The third prince was taken aback. The prince's expression and aggressive aura made him very uneasy, and he hurriedly said: "I, I don't want anything... The prince can do whatever he wants, the important thing is not to let father It’s good for the emperor to be angry.”
If there was no last sentence, the crown prince would still be quite satisfied: You are so interesting!
But with the addition of that last sentence, it is different.
The prince suddenly became furious, his eyes sharpened sharply, and he stared at the third prince coldly, before nodding his head and sneering for a while, he said with a sneer: "The third prince really has a heart! Yes, the important thing is not to make the father angry! How come I didn't realize that among the three of us, the most filial one is you, Brother Sanhuang!"
The prince took it for granted that the third prince's words were a threat and a mockery to himself, how could he not be annoyed
But he really wronged the Third Prince. The third prince felt scared when he saw that Emperor Xiangqing was angry for no reason. He really didn't want to see his father angry again, so he reminded the prince so kindly.
But the prince has a heart disease, and it happened that he unintentionally said it, which immediately showed that he had ulterior motives.
Even if the poor third prince received a severe stare from the prince at this time, listening to his sarcastic words, he actually didn't understand why he was angry at all.
The third prince was startled, not knowing how to answer the prince's words.
He didn't want to answer anymore, but the prince stared at him tightly without blinking, which made him a little flustered. He felt that it would not be the same thing if the two of them went on in such a stalemate, so he reluctantly said: "Father The emperor has filial piety, this is what it should be..."
"You!" The prince was even more furious when he heard this, his eyes could already see fire!
He really, has never been so popular before! She ridiculed him again and again, but she still had to act like an ignorant and honest person!
It is right to have filial piety towards your father, that is to say, if you want to talk about things that should be taken for granted, do you not think that "it is right to have filial piety towards your father"
This is simply heart-breaking words!
When the third prince saw that he opened his mouth, the prince seemed to be even more annoyed, as if he wanted to eat himself. He was even more flustered, and even more inexplicable: What did I do wrong
The third prince really didn't want to have any grudges with the prince for no reason, so he put on a frank expression, looked at the prince boldly, and said very sincerely: "Prince, my brother is stupid and can't speak, if you accidentally offend the prince , Prince, please don’t take the blame!”
The prince moved his lips, so angry that he couldn't even say the word "you"!
He never knew that the younger brother of the third emperor, who was normally quiet, could speak so sharply!
After teasing himself about Ming Dynasty and taking advantage of it, he deliberately put on a frank look, but he didn't know that this look was even more hateful at this time!
He also said "stupid tongue and tongue", "no offense intended", and said that he has a lot of adults, so don't blame him!
Ha ha, that's great! If you blame him, is it a "little man with a small amount"
Isn't it just a disaster relief? What are you proud of! As for making him so arrogant!
That's right, he must have seen his father and made him study behind closed doors to think about his mistakes a while ago, so his mind has also become active! What a guts! Just relying on him, dare to covet!
The prince looked at the third prince with a tense face, eyes wide open, looked up and down the third prince, nodded his head once and for all, and said coldly: "Okay, good! Very good! Hehe, brother three Don’t worry too much, there are so many Lord Gu Wang, how could he blame you! Besides, you have nothing for Gu Wang to blame, don’t you?”
The third prince was taken aback for a moment, always thinking that his words sounded weird.
However, he was just slightly puzzled, and didn't think too deeply. Hearing that he would not blame him, a stone fell from his heart and said with a smile: "The prince said so, so I feel relieved!"
Seeing his relieved smile, and hearing the obviously cheerful tone, the prince became more and more convinced that he was mocking himself, but he was so angry that he didn't know what to say! He could only stomp his feet, let out a heavy "hum" and walked away.
The third prince stood on the spot in a daze for a while, then he murmured and sighed: "What's wrong with the prince!"
The prince left angrily with a livid face, and subconsciously walked towards the Kunning Palace. When he realized it, he was already outside the gate of the Kunning Palace.
In the past, when he was angry or wronged, he would usually come to Kunning Palace to complain to the queen, listen to her enlightenment, and give himself an idea by the way.
But at this moment, he stopped.
He unconsciously thought: The queen mother is old and can no longer give me advice like before, so why should I bother her anymore! If she tells me to be patient again, should I listen or not? Forget it, it's better not to go! Looking back to find a few confidantes to discuss it, this tone will naturally come out! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty!
The prince snorted, swung his robe, turned around and left again.
Although the crown prince was full of dissatisfaction and resentment, he still had to do the errand assigned by Emperor Xiangqing: draw up a list!
Not only must the list of rewards be drawn up and handed in quickly, but it must also not be too thin.
That night, under the light in the study room of the East Palace, the prince was writing, cursing in a low voice while adding to the list, every time he wrote, the annoyance in his heart increased.
This night, he naturally couldn't sleep well.
Besides, after the third prince watched the prince leave in puzzlement, after thinking for a while, he walked towards Kunning Palace.
Because no matter what, he was recommended by the empress, and when he came back safely, he had to go to the empress to say hello, which made sense.
The third prince suddenly raised his head, and found that the prince was walking in front of him, and it seemed that he was also going to Kunning Palace. He was startled and hurried to the side to hide.
It seemed that he had to wait for the crown prince to come out of Kunning Palace before he could pass.
He hadn't seen the queen before, so he couldn't go back to the palace, so he went to Kunning Palace and waited on the only way to the East Palace, thinking that he would go again after the crown prince left.
I don't want to, the prince hastily returned in less than half a stick of incense, and the third prince was puzzled, thinking that the queen was not in Kunning Palace.
But even if he wasn't there, he'd have to visit—or at least make it known that there was such a thing.
The third prince didn't expect him to ask someone to report, and Aunt Qing came out after a while and invited him in with a smile.
Because of the surprise, the third prince couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask aunt, is the queen mother in the palace?"
"Of course! Otherwise, what is this servant asking His Highness to do?" Aunt Qing laughed.
The third prince said "Oh" and smiled, "I was confused."
Aunt Qing is so smart, she knew that no matter how confused he was, she would not be so confused, so she stopped and asked with a smile: "Why does the Third Highness ask such a question? But what is the reason?"
The third prince never lied, and besides Aunt Qing's attitude was so good, he was too embarrassed to lie, so he just smiled honestly: "Just now... I saw the prince coming, and then left after a while, thinking that the queen mother is not here..."
"So that's how it is!" Aunt Qing's eyes flashed, she just smiled lightly and led the third prince in without saying a word.
