Cang Geng only hoped that the emperor would not see him at that moment, he secretly begged for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in his heart, and secretly begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be able to lower his voice, and it was best to apologize to the fifth princess, but he himself knew that with the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was the Lord who was spoiled by the Queen Mother since childhood.

Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally couldn't help but speak, he first said to the second prince, "You don't need to pretend to be kind, who knows if you deliberately lured your father and queen mother over, isn't it just to scratch my sore spot?", and then without waiting for the emperor to speak, he said to the emperor again, "As for the fifth sister, she insulted the imperial grandmother by her words, and I should teach her a lesson, does my father want to raise a person who is not respectful to his imperial grandmother?"

The emperor was so angry that his body shook for a while, and the empress, who was standing next to him, quickly freed up a hand to support the emperor, and she also glanced at her eldest son with a little disapproval, and said bitterly, "How can you talk like that? Why don't you hurry over and support your father." ”

The emperor was indeed angry, but what his eldest son said, he couldn't refute it, he knew that there were many contradictions between his mother and his wife, for so many years, if his wife didn't have his own support, he was afraid that he would have been killed ten times and eight times by the queen mother. It's just that his wife, the eldest son, has been raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he is not close to his wife or even himself, and often does things that make his relatives and enemies happy. And all of this, because the entanglement is too deep, it is impossible to explain it to the prince one by one, and sometimes the emperor will feel powerless when he looks at the prince he has cultivated. The crown prince has grown crooked, and if he doesn't correct his thoughts in time, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, he won't be able to treat his biological mother and siblings well.

So the emperor did move the idea of abolishing the crown prince and setting up the second prince more than once, although he has always pressed this idea in his heart, but he has also been a lot stricter about the upbringing of the second prince, and he has unconsciously raised the second prince as the standard of the reserve prince. Even the crown prince was aware of these dangers, so he couldn't get close to the second prince.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a certain amount of admiration for his mother, and when he heard what the queen said to him, although it was a little awkward, he really walked to the emperor's side and supported the emperor. Cang Geng's heart finally let go of the big stone. I only heard the queen softly persuade the fifth princess again, "Don't cry, if you cry again, you won't be a beautiful little princess." Your imperial brother also cares about you, so he will say a few words to you, the imperial grandmother is your elder no matter what, you can't talk like this anymore. ”

The fifth princess sobbed and said, "He slapped me a lot." The queen smiled gently, "The queen mother knows, the royal brother will beat you because he cares about you too much, you see that if you are disobedient, the queen mother and your father will beat you, it is all because your mother and father love you." ”

The fifth princess was still young, and she was confused when she heard it, and she also believed the queen's words, so she slowly stopped crying, and looked at her prince brother in the queen's arms.

The second prince and the second princess also walked over and stood beside the queen. The emperor calmed down a little, so he took everyone to the Chengqing Palace of the second prince.

Cang Geng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and carefully followed the prince to Chengqing Palace. It turned out that there was still a period of time for the birthday of the fifth princess, and the second prince specially prepared a banquet in his palace to celebrate the fifth princess in advance.

Xuanhuang couldn't help but ask, "On the birthday of the fifth princess, the queen will naturally hold a banquet for her, and the scale is very large every year, why did the second prince do it for her this year?"

Cang Geng said, "I didn't know at first, but then I asked the second emperor ** to know, it turned out that the second prince felt that the banquet in the palace was too boring, so he thought about hosting a smaller banquet for the fifth prince to celebrate, and invited the second princess, the emperor, and the queen." ”

Xuan Huang's face turned pale, "I forgot to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone." ”

Cang Geng lowered his voice and said, "My first thought at that time was also this idea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the brother of the fifth princess, and the second prince didn't invite His Royal Highness the Prince, if he didn't just meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Imperial Garden, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not know about it until the next day." ”

Xuan Huang's heart was pounding, he knew that His Royal Highness the Prince's temper was sensitive, irritable and gloomy, what they could think of, he must also be able to think of it, with his temper, he was afraid that he would attack on the spot again, and he would anger the emperor again.

Sure enough, Cang Geng said in a low voice, and sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly lost his temper in front of the emperor, and said a few words in a weird manner, which probably means that the second prince didn't invite him before, and now he is putting an afterthought, which is a villain's behavior. Compared with the cautious and respectful second prince, the prince's uncertainties really angered the emperor.

Cang Geng was really frightened at that time, and originally thought that the family and harmony would get together at the banquet, and the prince's temper would improve. Because Cang Geng knew that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very close to the second prince, the second princess, the fifth princess, and the emperor and queen on weekdays, he still longed for closeness in his heart. How did he know that his master's temper would not go down, and he would not explain it, pretending to be aggrieved, but arguing and questioning, the emperor is the true son of the dragon, how can he have such a good temper to tolerate it? In this toss, the emperor must not let go of his subordinates.

Cang Geng took the maid of the East Palace to kneel outside the main hall, there was a faint sound of quarrel in the hall, and there was no sound outside the hall, and the people kneeling on the ground wished that they could bury their heads in the ground. After a while, the second prince took the two princesses and avoided the side hall.

Cang Geng heard the sound of the emperor and the prince arguing, the business that the queen mother discouraged, it seemed that the emperor wanted to beat the prince, but the queen mother was desperately persuading. At this time, a grandmother from Yongshou Palace came over, went in to see the emperor, and didn't know what to say, but the emperor ordered people to whip the servants of the East Palace, saying that it was "instigating the master all day long to do these things out of tune." If you don't teach you a hard lesson, I'm afraid that you won't even know who your master is. ”

Cang Geng knew that the emperor should use the topic to play, and he didn't know which rabbit cub had passed the news to Yongshou Palace, which suddenly ignited the anger in the emperor's heart. Cang Geng only remembered that in the process of being punished, the grandmother of Yongshou Palace wanted to urge the prince to go, but the prince stubbornly stood in the palace and refused to leave. Cang Geng, as the prince's personal attendant, received the most whipping, and was carried back by the inner servant beside the second prince. The second prince also specially asked people to send them medicine for whiplashes.

After hearing this, Xuan Huang couldn't help but shake his head, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too stubborn, too rigid and easy to break, in fact, as long as he lowers his head slightly, he can improve his relationship with the emperor, but the more he is injured, the more he resists. Xuanhuang and the others have entrusted their future to the prince, but in this way, they only feel that they are really precarious.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently listened to the emperor's dictation and recuperated in the East Palace, and used this as a reason to block the words of the Yongshou Palace many times. After a while, when the emperor's anger subsided, the queen mother persuaded her, and it is estimated that the matter will be calmed down.

After Xuanhuang recuperated and returned to the prince again, the prince just glanced at him and asked about Cang Geng's physical condition, and he didn't say anything more.

Xuan Huang felt that he had not seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for more than a month, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had changed a lot, as if the previous fierce anger had been precipitated in his body, although the whole person looked a little calmer, but if he accidentally looked into his eyes, he would feel that it was just sinking, hiding deeply, but it did not disappear, and people couldn't help but worry about whether it would suddenly explode one day.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince studied with the princes in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace every day, practicing martial arts in the morning, studying literature in the afternoon, and playing chess with him in the evening. In this way, life flies by. During this period, the queen mother and the queen only sent the grandmothers around them to visit the prince, and every time the grandmothers came to ask for peace, Xuanhuang could see the disappointment in the prince's eyes. Xuanhuang is really anxious in private, and the Queen Mother is just that, why didn't the queen mother come to see His Royal Highness the Prince.

The queen is obviously a very gentle person, and she is usually very good to the children of other concubines, and the second prince, the second princess, and the fifth princess are very thoughtful by her, but I don't know why, it is not far from the prince. She is not bad for the prince, she sees it on weekdays, and she treats it gently, but it gives people the feeling that she lacks a little heat and feels cool.

The second prince had already gone to the snowy region after the fifth princess's birthday, and the second princess and the fifth princess had been to the East Palace a few times, and the prince also acquiesced to their stay in the Chongwen Pavilion. The second princess is very gentle and amiable, very similar to the queen's mother, but the fifth princess is lively and naughty, often reading the books of Chongwenguan, and squeaks and says, "Brother Prince, I like this book." Or, "Brother Prince, can I take this book back and read it?"

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like to take care of her, Xuanhuang still feels it, at this time, the aura around the prince has become a little gentle, as long as the second princess and the fifth princess arrive in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince will be in a better mood, and Xuanhuang They can also breathe a sigh of relief, so they have been looking forward to the two princesses coming to the East Palace more.

But I don't know why, the queen doesn't seem to like the two princesses to be close to His Royal Highness the Prince, every time the two princesses arrive in the East Palace, Aunt Lan next to the queen will go to the East Palace to take away the two princesses, whenever at this time, Xuanhuang doesn't dare to look at His Royal Highness the Prince's face, that kind of very complicated feeling, it seems to be a little resentful, a little disappointed, and a little bit of hope.

Finally one day, when Aunt Lan, who was beside the queen, came to summon the two princesses again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his temper, threw the books on the desk on the ground, and said fiercely, "Get out, get out, don't come to the East Palace in the future." ”

The two princesses turned pale with fright, and the fifth princess cried loudly, Aunt Lan hurriedly commanded the palace maids to surround the two princesses and leave the East Palace, and the sound of the five princesses crying could be heard from a distance.

Xuan Huang was kneeling on the ground at that time, and happened to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picking up a book on the ground, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Xuan Huang looked up, and he was holding the book, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

From that day on, Xuanhuang had never seen the two princesses come to the East Palace again. Sometimes when there is a noise in the front yard of the East Palace, he will feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eagerly looking at the outside of the palace, as if looking forward to the two princesses, but every time, he is the last disappointed and bowed his head, and later, I heard that the two princesses will learn more homework and will never have time to come to the East Palace again.

Although the two princesses did not come again, they also asked the chamberlain around them to send a few gifts to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and those gifts were locked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a small box with delicate butterflies carved on the face. Xuan Huang remembered that the fifth princess had asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this box.
