Do you still care about the father, son and brotherhood?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Everyone was shocked as they could hear the emperor's hidden meaning in his words and they all knelt down to plead for mercy.
Prince Rui knelt down slowly and said softly, "My ninth brother is still young, so it is inevitable that he is emotional. This matter is also caused by my ninth brother's concern for his son. Please don't blame me anymore."
The Crown Prince glanced at Prince Rui calmly, then said, "What Eighth Brother said makes sense. Although he has not yet passed the imperial examination, today can be considered Eighth Brother's big day. Father, please don't be angry. Eighth Brother's affairs still need your decision."
The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he ordered Eunuch Mo, "Help Princess Qiaochu up."
Eunuch Mo had just responded when he saw Prince Rui holding Qiao Chuxu in his arms.
This was the first time that King Rui had argued with his brothers.

This was the first time that King Rui fought for something in front of his brothers, and this dampened King Xia's rage.
King Xia smiled coldly after hearing King Rui's advice.
Some people tried to guess the emperor's intentions, wondering if he would have any complaints about Prince Rui, but the emperor's face showed no sign of it. Eunuch Mo had been with the emperor for many years, and at this moment, he observed the emperor's expression, but saw that the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his eyes were a little strange and complicated.
When the man's breath lingered around her again, Qiaochu felt more and more suspicious. Why did he help her, even at the cost of turning against his brother! Love at first sight, she never believed in this stuff.
Prince Rui seemed very happy to be able to help her. As they got closer, she saw his gentle eyes slightly curved.
He carefully supported her and whispered, "Excuse me, come with me, your injury needs to be taken care of."
It was a small stream in the garden, with pink flowers planted on both sides. The flowers were as big as bowls and looked extremely beautiful.
He helped her squat down, then took out a small jade bottle from his arms and put it in her hand. At this time, a young man ran over and looked straight at the bottle in Qiaochu's hand.
Qiaochu was startled, only to see that it was the honest young man who led them in, who should be someone from the palace.
"Master, why did you give this to her?" The young man looked at King Rui, his tone was shocked and anxious, "This is you..."
Prince Rui interrupted him quickly and said in a deep voice: "Jingqing, you leave."
Qiaochu was puzzled, shook the bottle and said, "This is—"
King Rui did not answer immediately, but only asked: "Do you have a handkerchief?"
Qiaochu was startled again, hesitated slightly, took out a silk handkerchief from his belt and handed it to him.
Prince Rui dipped his handkerchief into the water, wet it, and wiped his hands carefully. He then leaned over to scoop a handful of water from the stream, put it to her lips, and whispered, "There are medicines in the bottle. Take two. The water is from the drinking water in the mansion, so it's clean. I can't take you to the inner hall now, so just drink a sip first."
Qiaochu finally understood what he meant. Even though she was always smart, she was at a loss for a moment. She only felt that there were many eyes behind her, and she felt like a thorn in her back. After a while, she thanked him, poured two pills from the bottle and swallowed them. Her throat was dry, but she didn't dare to drink the water in his hand.
King Rui was not angry, but remained silent for a moment, poured the water in his hand onto the flowers, and gently helped her up. She suddenly remembered something, and her heart trembled, and she glanced at King Rui secretly.
When she turned around, she saw that everyone's face had changed and they were staring at her.
The emperor frowned and looked at Prince Rui for a long while. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Old Eight, I know what you want to say to me. Well, man has his own way, God has his own will. Whether Qiaochu can become the master of this place, let it be decided by God."
Qiaochu was shocked. The emperor looked at Eunuch Mo, who immediately responded and walked in front of her, "Miss, please follow me."
On the other side, the emperor was walking quickly forward.
Everyone was shocked. They guessed that the emperor's words implied that he wanted to meet with Qiaochu alone and give her a chance.
Text 038 Winner or Loser
As the emperor and Qiaochu walked away, the whispers grew louder. No one knew what the emperor wanted to discuss with Qiaochu, but it was an indisputable fact that Qiaochu had the potential to become the Princess of Rui.
The women came for King Rui, and most of them had been defeated. But when they saw King Rui at this moment, they felt more regretful.
Apart from his ugly and hunched appearance, this man is tall and straight, and his words and actions are gentle and elegant. If it weren't for his disfigured appearance and disabled feet, how could his temperament be inferior to any other prince? Although he has a disabled foot, it doesn't seem to hinder his walking, and he doesn't need to rely too much on a wheelchair in daily life.
These are fine, but his love and care for Qiaochu, the tenderness of him bending down to scoop up water, just in this moment, which woman would not be envious and jealous
Qiaorong was the worst. She pulled Qiaomei's sleeve and said anxiously, "Sister, please think of a solution."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, then suddenly asked back calmly, "Don't you look down on King Rui? I think your brother-in-law is quite good."
Qiaorong was shocked, her body trembled, and she suddenly fell silent.
The smile on his lips was not over yet, his eyes moved, he glanced at the crown prince, and then looked at King Rui indifferently.
The Crown Prince was talking to Prince Rui, Prince Xia, Prince Ning and other princes. Wang Mang and Chief Attendant Fan Rusu were standing by, occasionally responding with a few words and laughter.
As they chatted and laughed, the men were in good spirits and seemed to be in a good mood. They didn't seem to be nervous about the outcome of the conversation between the emperor and Qiaochu. King Xia and King Rui laughed quietly, and the rift between them seemed to have disappeared.
The wise king did not go there.
The Queen's eyes were filled with suspicion and anxiety. She stared at Lang Linling closely, but Lang Linling remained silent. She did not go to find Prince Rui as she had expected, and she did not even look at him. Apart from her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, there was no sign of any clue on her face.
The queen sneered and said, "Ling'er, if you don't say anything, your aunt won't force you. But when the emperor comes back later, I will have something to say to him no matter what."
The Xian King's heart suddenly moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Lin Ling, tell me honestly, have you and the Rui King had physical contact?"
Cangzhu Pavilion.
Eunuch Mo let go of Qiao Chu.
Qiaochu was worried that she would not be able to stand steadily, but at this moment she felt a fragrant and cool air rising from her abdomen, and the pain just now seemed to have eased a lot. She understood that it was the effect of King Rui's medicine, and that quiet and gentle man seemed to be an expert in using medicine.
The current situation was something she had never expected before. When someone might get something she had always dreamed of but had lost, no one could remain calm.
The emperor stood with his back to her, his hands clasped together. His bright yellow figure made her breathing slightly quickened.
The emperor suddenly turned around, and a scroll like snow suddenly spread out from his hand and meandered to the ground.
A majestic voice came from my ear: "This is the question for the second round. If the princess can complete it, she will be the consort of King Rui."
A maidservant from some unknown family suddenly lost her composure and shrieked, "The Emperor is back."
The people who were talking were startled and looked up. Amidst the green trees and red flowers, the emperor strode over, with Eunuch Mo supporting Qiaochu.
No one expected that this conversation would end so quickly, maybe in a cup of tea, or maybe even less. But, what was the result
Text 039 The Princess of Rui Wang
The Queen came forward and was about to speak when the Emperor coughed. Eunuch Mo said, "According to the Emperor's order, the third daughter of the Qiao family in Beidi will be promoted to the Prince Rui's legitimate wife."
The queen shuddered and stood still.
Everyone was shocked. What did the emperor say to Qiaochu, and how did Qiaochu respond? Could the fate of the world be decided in just a cup of tea
Qiaochu bit her lip slightly, ignoring all the burning, questioning gazes, especially the jealous hatred of the women. Holding back her complicated feelings, she looked at the prince, only to see him whispering something to Qiaomei. She felt as if something had stabbed her in the heart, and as she turned her head, a pair of eyes were cast on her indifferently.
It's King Rui
She turned her head quickly, but heard a voice saying, "Your Majesty, Qiaochu is not qualified to be the Princess of Rui."
The voice was gentle and quiet, yet trembling slightly. Qiao Chu was startled and looked over. It was Qiao Mei who stepped out of the line. A trace of uneasiness quickly passed through her heart.
Everyone looked at Qiao Mei. No one was willing to give in, but they never expected that the one who asked this question would be the Crown Prince's legitimate wife.
The emperor's expression darkened, and he said, "Crown Princess, the Qiao family has a good heir. After you, your sister married into Dongling. Isn't it good for the siblings to be harmonious? I don't understand what you mean."
Everyone knew that Emperor Rongrui had many children, and he hated sibling rivalry. The Queen quickly said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is known for her virtue, and she must be caring for her siblings at home. Since she said this, I'm afraid she really has some unspeakable secrets."
The emperor thought for a moment, then slowly stared at Qiao Mei, "Well, second son's wife, tell me now."
She raised her eyebrows but did not answer immediately. Instead, she bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a heavy and eerie atmosphere filled the garden.
The emperor frowned and glanced at the prince.
The prince nodded, walked to Qiaomei's side, helped her up, and said softly, "Mei'er, you can say whatever you want."
He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the prince, and then knelt down again.
The more people suspected, the more they heard the beautiful woman on the ground tremblingly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Why did my third sister get seriously ill before and after the selection of concubines? The truth is, my father would never dare to let this little rascal go to Chaoge, because Qiaochu is no longer a virgin. I didn't expect that she would ignore my father's dissuasion and secretly come to Chaoge."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone present knew the interest relationship between the emperor and Qiao Zhenning.
Many years ago, Beidi sent troops to help Emperor Rongrui in his southern expedition against Yanxiang. In that battle, Beidi suffered heavy casualties. As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. To show his sincerity, after the victory of the southern expedition, when Beidi was sorting out the casualties and had no ability to resist, Emperor Rongrui sent his most beloved son, the Crown Prince Shangguan Jinghao, to Beidi as a hostage for several months. Later, he signed an agreement of eternal friendship with Beidi, and Beidi then belonged to Dongling. The world praised him.
However, some court officials speculated on the emperor's intentions, saying that if the emperor had not been concerned about the alliance and feared being criticized by other countries, he might not have wanted to get rid of the Qiao family and formally incorporate the North into the territory of Dongling. Therefore, although the emperor was friendly with the Qiao family on the surface, if Qiao Chu was really unclean, the emperor might not have sentenced him to death in a rage!

Although the sisters of the Qiao family seemed to be at odds, this matter was of great importance and concerned the reputation of the Northern Territory. How could the Crown Princess dare to speak carelessly? Then, what Qiao Mei said was most likely true.
The emperor said angrily, "What do you mean, Crown Princess? Do you have any evidence?"
Qiao Mei said slowly, "Although the Qiao family is far away in a wild place, they deeply respect the friendship and etiquette of Dongling. Therefore, when my sister and I turned 28, my father asked someone to apply the chastity sand to our sister. However, when it came to the day when my third sister applied the sand, she couldn't apply the sand no matter what."
The queen smiled coldly and glanced at Qiaochu.
The emperor frowned, his expression suddenly fierce, and he slowly pointed at Qiaochu, "If what the Crown Princess said is true, you are guilty of deceiving the emperor and deserve death. If you confess now, your crime is unforgivable even if you live, but I can still spare your death sentence."
Qiaochu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Her body was indeed not suitable for the birth of a virgin!
That was the work of Qiaomei's mother, the Grand Concubine Fengqing. The Grand Concubine Fengqing was very good at medicine. On the eve of the sand-pointing ceremony, she had given her mother and daughter food in public. Although she knew that something was wrong, she felt that the Grand Concubine would not dare to kill her mother and daughter in public. Moreover, according to the Grand Concubine's temper, she would never do so unless she had no choice. She preferred torture and suppression.
She and her mother were unable to refuse the food given by the Queen Dowager in public, so they had to take it.
When the sand was applied, the sand-blood formula made from gecko blood disappeared immediately after being applied to her armpit. She then understood that the food given by the Queen Mother that day must have contained medicine that was incompatible with the sand-blood, so that even though the gecko sand was applied, her skin would never show the sand color.
This is regarded by the tribe as
