"No stripping!" The Fifth Prince turned and lunged over, hugging the Seventh Prince from the side, trying to block his big brother's line of sight.
The Sixth Prince closely followed the footsteps of the Fifth Brother and hugged the Seventh Prince from the other side, in a three-person pincer attack, protecting the food box in the center, so as to avoid being discovered by Consort Tong!
Carrying twenty chicken legs on his back, wrapped in a heavy cloak, and now wrapped up in the body heat of his two elder brothers, His Highness the Seventh Prince suddenly lost his dreams.
I don't know where I am anymore, and a fine sweat across the baby fat cheeks of His Highness, converging into a river on the tip of the small chin, snapping, dripping down to the small belly.
"You want to smother him to death!" The eldest prince is eager to save his younger brother, an arrow step up, carry a chicken like, the two brothers who embraced the little fat cubs ripped away, just about to reprimand, the rest of the light is aware of the little fat cubs behind the strange cubes protruding ......
"This is ......" The Grand Prince was confused, and just as he was about to reach out and ruffle the cloak to take a look, the Fifth and Sixth Emperors simultaneously shook their heads at him rattling frantically!
The eldest prince's pair of phoenix eyes widened, although he hadn't guessed what strange things were hidden under the cloak, but his intuition was that these three little guys must have hidden something unseemly, that's why he refused to take off the oldest seven's cloak.
After being rescued by his elder brother from the arms of his fifth and sixth brothers, the seventh prince took a deep breath as if he had been given a new lease of life.
"Why hasn't Your Highness untied Old Seven's cloak?" Consort Tong said, and then she also walked over to help.
The eldest prince was worried that his younger brothers really had something unseemly to hide, and without thinking, he knelt down on one knee and leaned over to embrace the seventh prince, using his own even broader shoulders to cover up the strange cube behind the oldest seven!
The seventh prince, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was wrapped up more fully in his big brother's body heat!
The look of despair on the little bundle's face completely lost the dream!
"This cloak really suits seventh brother too well!" The eldest prince hugged his seventh brother tightly and let out a serious exclamation!
Princess Tong: "......"
The retarded ethos seemed to have suddenly spread through the temple!
It is good that Tong Fei is not really concerned about Shi Fei's son, take off the cloak or not, she does not want to care, just now only do the appearance of loving kindness.
Her trip to visit the big prince, on the surface is to sell the empress favor, after all, the biological mother is not convenient to visit the son who was punished by the emperor, in essence, Tong Fei is trying to test out the big prince with the Chintian Supervisor to obstruct the Offer Shu Road officials, is not scurrying through.
I didn't expect that just after exchanging pleasantries and sitting down, these three little brats suddenly rushed into the hall.
There was no way around it, Princess Tong could only laugh and back away, leaving the four brothers to enjoy the cloak.
Fearing that his cube would be exposed, the eldest prince picked up his seventh brother, backed up, moved across the room, and kept facing Princess Tong with his front straight on.
Just so crab-like to carry the seventh prince to the study room in the side hall, the eldest prince also did not forget to find excuses for his odd behavior, reprimanded his younger brothers: "Do not stay properly in the academy, how dare you come to the East Palace nonsense, immediately go to the study room penalty copying!"
Like two little guardians, the Fifth and Sixth Emperors also followed their big brother's crab-like horizontal movement, always blocking the front so as to prevent Concubine Tong from launching a surprise attack!
Concubine Tong gazed lovingly at the several young emperors and wisely did not move.
As soon as he entered the study, the Grand Prince put down his brother and raised his hand to lift his cloak.
"Eh!" The Fifth and Sixth Emperors immediately stepped forward and held onto their big brother's arms in a death grip.
They haven't spelled out the padding yet, they'll get their asses kicked if they reveal the mystery straight away!
However, the Grand Prince looked at his two younger brothers who were hugging his right and left arms and completely lost his patience.
Without waiting to reveal the conspiracy under the cloak, the Grand Prince drew out his arm and, with both hands, slapped the Fifth and Sixth Princes on the back of the head at the same time, and began a kinetic education--
"Hot day! What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!"
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors held their heads in their hands!
The Grand Prince punched whoever he caught, but always bypassed the small, fat cub who didn't move at all in front of him, and went to punch the other two young brothers.
It's ridiculously biased!
The seventh prince was actually afraid of being beaten, but he was too hot to breathe at the moment, and it would be better to wait for death if he had to take his little fat legs and run away.
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors hugged their heads and hid in the corner.
The invincible Grand Prince was out of the way, and with a furious stoop, he ripped the oldest seven's cloak ties away.
The cloak slipped to the ground and a square mahogany food box was strapped to the back of the chubby little guy.
"What's this?" The First Prince glared at his two brothers in the corner.
"It is for the rations prepared for the old seven on the road ......" The fifth prince is very vain.
"I'm afraid he's hungry ......" The Sixth Prince couldn't even convince himself.
"Rations for the road?" The Grand Prince's gaze grew fiercer, "Did you come from the border to visit me?"
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors lowered their heads in shame.
The eldest prince suspected that they lied, swish one knee, nimbly untie the rope, "pop" lifted the food box!
Found it stuffed all over the place ......
Chicken legs?
"This is ......" The Grand Prince revealed an unbelievable expression.
Kinda fucking rations!
I'm afraid his brother isn't all stupid, is he?
Academy to the East Palace, a few steps, prepared a box of chicken legs, hot day, stupid cloak, broke into his temple ......
Thinking about it, the expression of disgust on the Grand Prince's face suddenly changed!
Gradually all the odd and twisted behavior of his brothers strung together in his mind.
The annoyed anger on his face was like a dissipating tide, and he slowly turned his head sideways, bemused, to his two brothers in the corner, who had been beaten to a pulp, and then slowly turned back to the chubby cub, who had been smothered by the cloak and was in a state of delirium.
Those normally fierce and sharp danfeng eyes suddenly reddened.
"Why are you guys so stupid!" The Grand Imperial Prince stood up in a panic and turned his back, trying his best to maintain a menacing tone, "I thought you guys were hiding something unseemly! Who made you guys ......"
The three young emperors tilted their heads and gazed at their big brother's tall and straight back in confusion, none of them understanding why their big brother suddenly choked.
There was silence in the side hall.
For a long time, the Great Prince, who had slowed down, complained in a low, trembling voice--
"Bunch of little twerps."

It was hard to make it to the day of the Mid-Yuan Festival, and Xue Yao thought that the days of sleepless nights would finally come to an end, only to find that the nightmares continued.
The harem had no way of obtaining information about the Offer Shu Road project, and there was no one to tell him and Princess Shio whether the natural disaster had occurred or not.
It is estimated that the news is not so fast back to the court, the emperor is also waiting patiently, these days did not take the Aunt Po questioned, still and before the same favor Shih Fei.
It wasn't until the end of the month when the summary of the project was handed over to the Imperial Court that things finally came to a head.
The Ministry of Works report is summarized in one sentence: all is well with the project.
The emperor sneered when he saw the folding, and in his smile there was the anger of January that was hidden, but also the smugness of predicting victory.
When he went to the Green Vault Palace that day, he told Princess Shi Shi the results.
He had already suspected that Princess Shio had deliberately conspired with Aunt Po to stage this prophecy for him.
It's not the same as the Chintian Supervisor's possession test, anything in the palace that has anything to do with witchcraft is a major offense.
The Emperor had long been ready to pursue this matter, but he didn't really want Auntie Po to confess to Princess Shih, he just punished Auntie Po heavily to warn Princess Shih not to interfere in politics in the future.
This has been considered a merciful magnanimity of the victor, which, as a rule, should be a capital offense.
Shih Fei learned to take over, instantly lost blood color of the face, so that the emperor moved compassion, a moment did not hold back, Lung En ho: "Do not be afraid, it is that witch with evil intentions, I will not be angry with you, but also lazy interrogation, call her squatting a few years in jail, a small punishment, the other side of the case is not to be held accountable."
Consort Shi's face remained stiff and cold, she didn't expect the Emperor to be so generous, but that didn't make it any easier.
Thousands of thoughts in his head, a moment to think that he and his son are destined to be scorned, a moment to think that Xue Yao's prophecy did not come true, then the Shu Road may not cause civil unrest.
The emperor saw that she still looks like a lost soul, afraid that she scared out of the disease, simply do not care about it, only asked Shih Fei to replace a berth aunt to Dazhi to accompany, the original berth aunt as soon as possible to send back to their hometowns.
This result was only known by Xue Yao the next day after he came down from the school.
"It's impossible!" He instantly jumped up from his chair after hearing this, gazing at Consort Shio with wide eyes and pleading, "Impossible! If there really wasn't a disaster, how could the Emperor let us off so easily? Perhaps the Emperor is trying to save face ......"
"The Emperor specially showed me the Ministry of Public Works' zhengfu, just for fear that I don't believe it." Shih Fei smiled bitterly and said to Xue Yao, "It's okay, at least the emperor didn't pursue our responsibility, and ...... divination would have had the possibility of miscalculation, the natural disaster didn't come true, and the prediction of the civil unrest might not come true, we still have something to look forward to."
Xue Yao's face instantly turned red, and without the face to argue, he hung his head low.
Thoughts electric, he suddenly eyes bright, raised his head and said to Princess Shih, "It is possible ...... may be the Ministry of Industry to conceal the news, powder, so as not to let the Emperor because the start of the failure, to cure their crimes!"
Consort Shi was silent for a moment, helplessly placating Xue Yao, "Forget it, for us, the result is already like this. What happens in the imperial court, even if we guess it, it's not something we can influence, so why don't we simply not think about it, lest we be unwilling to do so."
Xue Yao was speechless.
The machine can't anticipate the unknown human heart.
That natural disaster at the Mid-Yuan Festival was likely suppressed by the layers of officials, which is why the Grand Prince in the original story was specifically listed as a reason when he was advising.
This matter the emperor originally feared did not know, otherwise the eldest prince is not convenient to emphasize out to hit his father's face.
Xue Yao's feelings were nothing but despair and not knowing how to face Princess Shi Shi's trust.
The prophecy he had guaranteed with his life had failed.
After pulling the mother and son of Consort Shi, the Grand Emperor, the Head of the Qin Tian Supervisor, and Aunt Po out of the scourge, he had gotten such a ridiculous result.
When Princess Shio left him to finish his meal, he politely declined in shame and disheveledly left the palace to return to his home.
For the first time, the idea of voluntarily resigning as a chaperone came up.
Not just because of the lack of face, but the unpredictability of the world in this palace is just too dangerous.
*
On the second day of the next court, the Ministry of Public Works Secretary with a fast horse to send back the report, came to the Yangxin Hall, waiting for the right play.
The emperor looked at the new report, nothing important, just intend to rest, and thought of what, raised his eyes to the Ministry of Public Works, asked in passing: "The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, the force service did not meet any natural disasters, right?"
The Minister of Public Works tightened his body, raised his eyes to the Emperor with vigilance, and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty is heavenly wise, and with the blessing of the Holy Virtue in all directions of the Nine States, it is natural for all directions to be at peace."
The emperor did not think too much, lowered his head and casually said, "I have heard that Liangshan Mountain in Sichuan is plagued by flash floods and mudslides, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Day, there was no accident, right?"
As soon as the words fell, the Minister of Public Works instantly turned pale, thinking that the Emperor already knew about the matter.
Although he did not know why he was defeated, he fell to his knees in panic and exclaimed, "I am guilty of death!"
The emperor was stunned, just now just aunt Po that prophecy as a joke, casually said, did not expect the Ministry of Public Works actually this reaction, the face suddenly changed!
