The Fourth Prince was in a trance, only feeling that the boy in front of him was not the same as the A Yao that he remembered from Lao San's side.
Because he played with the Third Prince from time to time, the Fourth Prince was quite familiar with several of his third brother's companions.
Once upon a time, this boy named Xue Yao had a rather naive character, and was obedient to the Third Prince, straightforward to please and flatter, and also took the lead in helping the Third Prince to find trouble with the Seventh Brother.
Although he himself flattered the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince looked down on Xue Yao's mindless and reckless means of flattering him.
Originally I thought that this little guy sooner or later will be Shi Fei to make an example of the disposal, but I did not expect, now Xue Yao not only mixed into the seventh prince's companion readers, but also with the old seven hand in hand back to the palace ......
Old Seven still really buys him.
The fourth prince's heart was full of mixed feelings, he tried his best, but he couldn't flatter the oldest three without offending the others.
On the contrary, this little companion, who used to be secretly laughed at by him, had actually mixed up left and right.
Is the young companion's former vigor an act?
Thinking this way, the Fourth Prince's eyes were almost worshipful as he gazed at Xue Yao.
Xue Yao was puzzled by his stare, so he smiled gently and said, "It's a hot day, Your Highness come in to cool off?"
The fourth prince then came back to God, smiled and waved his hand, "This day a batch of tributes to the East Palace, a few brothers have said that it is the sweet mouth of the desserts, I thought that the old seven like it, so I sent it on the way, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
The Fourth Prince turned around and went to Noble Lady Yi's courtyard.
Yi Guiren saw his son, a fluttering and uncertain heart finally fell, busy support away from the palace maids, pulling the fourth prince to the inner hall, quietly put the emperor wants her to accompany the driver of the thing to say.
She didn't say that she was going to use the secret of Consort Tong's mole to curry favor with Consort Shi, but the Fourth Prince was immediately suspicious after hearing it.
"What did you go to see Princess Shio for?" He fixed Noble Yi with a suspicious gaze.
"Oh, I've been embroidering a little scented pouch for the last couple of days, and I'm going to ......"
The Fourth Prince interrupted her, poking through without mercy, "You don't want to tell Consort Tong's mole to Consort Shi, do you? I have shamelessly flattered third brother for so many years, finally letting him treat me as one of his own, if you want to exploit this loophole to curry favor with both sides, I'll have a chicken and egg here."
Noble Lady Yi blushed in shame, lowered her head and whispered, "What can you do after serving the Third Prince? In the final analysis, it's because I'm not in favor that I've wronged you!"
"Ha!" The Fourth Prince frowned and waved his hand, turned to sit by the coffee table, and said with a stiff upper lip, "What grievance can I have?"
Yi nobleman with tears said: "Those lackeys dare to say in my yard that you are a cheap servant girl born of the seed, you in the East Palace in what days, I can not be clear about it? You are still less than thirteen years old, you have to think of doing things for others to get oil, subsidize me this waste mother, my heart day by day how bitter ...... hate can not close their eyes to go, no longer drag you back ......"
"Mother! You don't think nonsense!" The Fourth Prince jumped up, anxious and angry, wiping Noble Lady Yi's tears as he coaxed, "Which dog slave said this? Why didn't you tell me? I'll report it to father, take his life, and then send his whole family to jail!"
Noble Lady Yi covered her eyes with a handkerchief and shushed him to keep his voice down.
The fourth prince wrapped his arms around Yi nobleman coaxed to: "You do not feel bad, the son will certainly mix a personal style, the hard life is just a moment, when I leave the palace to open a house, with their own skills to save a family business, you enjoy endless glory and wealth, so that the other consorts are running you here to flatter you!"
"I believe in your ability, but even a bigger foundation has to have capital, I can't have two hands and just look at you being a cow outside." Yi nobleman eyes firmly raised her head: "I am not willing, the emperor is busy with political affairs, but momentarily forget about me, as long as there is an opportunity, may not be unable to turn over! Now the emperor can't wait to stay with shi Fei day after day, as long as shi Fei has the heart to promote, the emperor may come to see me! Even if two or three months to come once, we mother and son will no longer have to suffer from the minion's difficulties, your hard-earned silver also do not have to feed into the dog's stomach to go!"
The Fourth Prince opened his mouth, but could not bear to splash Yi Guiren with cold water.
Yi nobleman saw his mind, hurriedly pointed to his waist scented bag said: "Today I happened to meet the emperor, scared scented bag fell on the ground, the emperor stared at me for a long time, personally bent over to help me pick up the scented bag, but also personally for me to tie on, let me raise my head, solemnly asked me whether I want to accompany the driver!"
She shivered with excitement as she thought of the scene that had happened during the day, and said in a trembling voice, "His Majesty is remembering me, remembering the promise he made to me that night, he is trying to make up for the coldness he has shown me for more than ten years!"
She thought too much of the Emperor's memory and took the sweet talk before bed seriously.
The emperor who bounced a check for more than ten years picked up an incense bag for her in passing, and she forgave the negative man from the bottom of her heart, and thought that the sun was going to rise over her head again.
Although the fourth prince is much older than his peers, he still doesn't understand the matter of men and women, listening to Yi Guiren, he felt that his father's actions were indeed warm, and his heart couldn't help but raise a little bit of expectation, "Father wants to have Empress Shi Fei to convey your decision? How did he tell you?"
Noble Lady Yi immediately followed the emperor's example and played it out word for word in front of the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince stroked his chin in contemplation for a moment and murmured, "It was already late morning, why didn't Father Emperor stay in the Green Vault Hall? With only eunuchs following him around and not even calling for a ride on the moped, I reckon that Father Emperor most likely decided to return to the Palace of Nourishing Heart all of a sudden."
"If there was some sudden emergency, Father wouldn't have been able to stop and pick up something for you and have a little chat with you ......"
The fourth prince's frown grew deeper and deeper as he turned his head to look at Yi Guiren: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, father may have vomited with Consort Shi for some reason, so he suddenly left the Qingdao Palace and happened to meet you. Having you tell Consort Shio about this matter might just be to piss off Consort Shio, it can't be taken seriously."
Yi Guiren heard her son analyze this way, simply a bucket of cool water on her head.
Come to think of it, 80% of it is as my son expected.
Although she was a little disappointed, she was not discouraged, "Even if it's for the sake of being angry with Concubine Shio, but His Majesty's words have already come out, as long as I promise, he will definitely be willing to let me accompany the driver on his parade, and as I spend time with him along the way, there will always be a chance for His Majesty to remember my goodness, and I can't give up on this opportunity!"
The Fourth Prince thought for a long time again, but also felt that this was a good thing that fell from the sky, so he happily reminded Noble Lady Yi, "Right now, Consort Shi may still be angry, you'd better come to the door again tomorrow."
Listening to the son also clap agreed, Yi nobleman heart a big stone finally landed, and said: ''If Shi Fei princess blame me to compete for favor how to do? I think ...... still tell her about the mole's yes, let her treat me as one of her own! As long as the companion driver can accomplish things, we will not need to flatter anyone in the future!"
*
It's that time of the month again when we check the royals' homework.
The young emperors brought their companions early in the morning and waited for their father to randomly check their homework in the side hall.
Xue Yao watched as the Fifth Prince BB machine generally stared at the Seventh Prince and bombarded him all morning.
"Never interrupt, got it?" The fifth prince was on the verge of kneeling down for the little chubby cub, "If third brother can't answer in a moment, you absolutely can't answer for him, no matter how much father repeats the question for him, you're not allowed to answer for him, do you hear me?"
The Seventh Prince tilted his head and stared blankly at Fifth Brother.
Every month on this day, before going out of the Green Dome Hall, Empress Shih Fei repeatedly urged the seventh prince: "Father asks questions, you must answer them immediately, no dawdling, no playing with toys, no giggling, what father asks, you answer, if you don't behave, you won't have any pre-bedtime snacks to eat."
Immediately afterward, he came to the side hall of the Yangxin Temple, but Fifth Brother desperately asked him not to answer his father's questions.
The Seventh Prince really couldn't judge how to execute the demands of these two at the same time.
When the emperor took the test of learning, the imperial sons stood in the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Normally, the temporary third prince would always make a bit of a mess, having books and texts that he couldn't memorize.
The emperor would then repeat the question several times, sternly demanding that Lao San answer immediately.
When Lao-san got nervous, he couldn't recite it even more.
The sustained blank time that followed could easily inspire the Seventh Prince's Repeater skill.
The seventh prince's thinking pattern is like this: the mother said that the father's question must be answered, the previous questions brothers have answered, only the third brother does not answer, the father asked again, the third brother still does not answer, the father asked again, the third brother just does not answer. The mother said that the father's question must be answered, must be answered, must be ......
And so, tragedy struck.
What the Third Prince could not recite by heart was fluently and perfectly snatched by the Seventh Prince, who was only three years old.
The four words "shameless" were thrown in the Third Prince's face.
Every month Father has to inspect, the hatred between brothers is going to increase exponentially, who will he bully if not Old Seven?
"You can only answer when His Majesty asks you." Xue Yao understood the seriousness of the matter and joined in to save the fat cubs, "When it's your turn to come out of the queue, you can speak freely when His Majesty asks, but you can't answer questions at any other time, do you understand, Your Highness?"
"I'm so tired oh." The Seventh Prince thought that these people were so strange, and lowered his head to start tinkering with the little windmill.
Not long after, the sound of the palace maid's invocation came from outside the door.
Upon hearing that it was the Third Prince who had arrived, several of the younger emperors immediately stood up straight in fear and slowly retreated to the corner of the side hall.
The Third Prince walked into the side hall with his hands in the air, turned his head to look around, his eyes fell straight onto the Seventh Prince, and let out a cold laugh, "Old Seven came quite early, have you made enough preparations? Third brother will be waiting for your instruction in a while."
The Fifth Prince lowered his head and closed his eyes in despair.
The Third Prince came over with an aggressive manner, and the Seventh Prince immediately hid behind the Sixth Prince.
"Why are you hiding? Aren't you quite honorable in front of Father?" The Third Prince carried the Seventh Prince out like a chicken, sneering, "Why don't you let your other brothers keep quiet, and let you be the only one in the limelight, okay?"
"His other brothers won't be able to memorize even the most basic of the Four Books and Five Classics, it's not his turn to be in the limelight." A teenager's clear and calm voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Xue Yao surreptitiously raised his eyes, only to see a long and upright teenager walk through the temple doors with long legs.
The young man was dressed in red and green and black between the Prince's civilian clothes, broad shoulders and thin waist Eguanbo belt, because of the back of the light, his silhouette is even more profound, handsome but slightly with some not yet retired boyishness, is a sixteen or seventeen years old handsome boy.
"Big brother!" As if he had found a savior, the Sixth Prince jumped up and ran forward, hugging the teenager's arm.
As soon as the Third Prince heard this voice, he immediately collected his hostility and turned his head to greet, "Big brother."
"How is the homework prepared?" The eldest prince was still a teenager, but he treated the third prince with the air of an elder brother like a father.
The third prince laughed dryly twice: "Just like that, big brother knows that I ......"
Before he finished speaking, the Grand Prince raised his hand and slapped the back of the Third Prince's head, sternly questioning, "Just which one? You tell me?"
"I'm ashamed for you!" The Grand Prince's danfeng eyes glared as he raised his hand to slap the Third Prince again.
The Third Prince covered his head and tried to hide, but was scooped up by the Grand Prince's arm with one hand, yanked to his heels, and continued to slap the back of his head!
When the eldest prince said two or three words, he slapped the back of the third prince's head and very rhythmically began his kinetic education of the third brother, "You still! have the good sense! Blame Old Seven! Help you memorize your homework!"
The third prince held his head and hid everywhere, almost crying from his big brother's beating!
Xue Yao: "......"
Worthy of being the Empress' son, having a bottom is different!
No wonder the great prince in the original can make trouble with the emperor in order to insist on changing the law, this character ...... cow!
