After King Ding refused to discuss the affairs of the court on the grounds of ill health and no longer interacted with officials in the court, he stayed in the palace every day to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, read books and practice writing, and rarely went out.

One day, his future in-law, Fan Zheng, the general of Huaihua, sent an invitation to invite him to Fan's mansion for the Dragon Boat Festival.

It stands to reason that he should have attended this feast, but he has already declared that he is not in good health, and it may not be appropriate to go to the feast again. However, there must always be an explanation to the in-laws, so as not to misunderstand.

He thought about it carefully, and thought that it was best to let Song Yunchen send this explanation, and also let him go to Fan's Mansion to walk around by the way.

Although King Ding is now at home every day, Song Yunchen still eats, sleeps, plays, and goes out every day.

But in order not to quarrel with his father, he still tried to avoid King Ding when he left the palace or returned to the palace. Of course, if King Ding came to him on purpose, it might not be easy to avoid.

"Chen'er, where are you going?"

Song Yunchen, who was about to go out, happened to be caught by his father, he turned around and saluted perfunctorily, and replied, "The child wants to go out for a walk." ”

King Ding paced to his side and said, "You should also take care of your heart and study at home, don't go out to the market like this." ”

"What's the use of reading? Isn't there no use for my father's full stomach? ”

"Reading can be self-cultivation and cultivation, not necessarily just to enter the court and become an official."

Song Yunchen tilted his head and said: "If you don't want to be an official, then there is no need to be a nerd." ”

King Ding was deeply helpless about this son's unenterprising attitude. He was originally a talented and intelligent child, but in recent years, he has become more and more impetuous, not only no longer studying quietly, but even contaminated with the habit of eating, drinking and having fun, which is really worrying.

also blames himself for being busy with political affairs, but neglecting to discipline his son. If you don't teach, it's your father's fault. King Ding was secretly ashamed, so he stopped asking him about his reading.

"I'm not here to tell you about reading. Don't go out today, for your father has something for you to do. ”

"What's the matter?"

"General Fan came to ask me to go to Fan's Mansion for the Dragon Boat Festival yesterday, I can't go, you can help me send some gifts to apologize."

"Let the next person do these things, why do I need to go?"

"If it's someone else, I'll let the rest of the house go. But the Fan Mansion is different, General Fan is your future father-in-law, and you will marry the Fan family girl next year, so you can't be so lazy. You also took this opportunity to visit the Fan Mansion. ”

"I don't want to marry General Fan's daughter. You should help me withdraw from this marriage as soon as possible, lest I refuse to marry and hurt the face of the two families. ”

When King Ding heard Song Yunchen say such irresponsible words, his face suddenly changed greatly, "This is a marriage that has been engaged a long time ago, how can you withdraw if you don't want to?" Where is the girl of the Fan family who can't stand you, you want to humiliate her like this? Besides, it was you yourself who proposed to marry her back then. ”

Song Yunchen didn't seem to be afraid of his father's anger, so he disobeyed and said, "How old was I back then? How can Huangkou's words be true? Father, did you order this family business for me because I like it, or because General Fan is kind to you, and you will repay them with my life? If it's to repay the favor, then why don't you just marry his daughter yourself? ”

These words shocked King Ding, but he didn't expect his son to become such a disobedient person. What's more, he has no sense of responsibility, he doesn't take the world as his own responsibility, and now he doesn't even care about his family.

"Presumptuous, is this what you should say to your father? Have you ever thought about the consequences of your willful behavior? Have you forgotten all about your cousin? ”

"My cousin's matter is different from mine, she was forced to a dead end because she was deeply affectionate to Qin Chong, but Qin Chong and the Qin family were ruthless and unjust. And I don't have a good feeling with the daughter of the Fan family at all, this kind of thing will never happen. ”

"Then have you considered Miss Fan's reputation, you quit the marriage for no reason, how will she face the criticism of the world in the future?"

"It's simpler, just state that the problem is on my side. It doesn't matter if I have a sudden illness, or that I'm not worthy of her, anyway, I can say that I can keep her reputation. ”

"You ......"

King Ding was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was about to stretch out his hand to wake up this confused son, but was stopped by the oncoming princess Qin Zhen.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do here? If there is anything wrong with Yunchen, you teach him to don't hurt the relationship between father and son. ”

Song Yunchen not only didn't accept her affection, but said viciously: "You go away, you don't have to be nosy." ”

Qin Zhen persuaded: "You can talk to me as much as you want, but you can't be disrespectful to your father, hurry up and admit your mistake to him."

Song Yunchen stiffened his neck and said coldly: "I'm not wrong, why do I have to admit my mistake?"

"Yunchen, don't be so stubborn, this won't do you any good?"

"Isn't it good for you? You could have let your son take my place, isn't that what you've been trying to accomplish? ”

King Ding's elegant face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Look at him, what has become of him?" If I am so disrespectful to my elders, I will do my duty as a father today and discipline him well. ”

Many people in the palace rushed to hear the noise. King Ding has always been kind in the palace, and the people in the palace rarely see him angry, let alone as angry as today.

The subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what a big mistake the prince had made, and he actually provoked the gentle king Ding to beat people.

I only heard the king of Ding's voice give an order: "Come here, take the family law." ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhen exclaimed: "Lord Wang, don't." ”

As he spoke, he stopped in front of King Ding, and then said to Song Yunchen: "Yunchen, you quickly avoid it, family law is not a joke." ”

Song Yunchen stood in place unmoved.

"Let's go!" Qin Zhen was so anxious that he put down his gentleness and shouted.

Song Yunchen moved his steps and walked out quickly.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" King Ding hurriedly ordered: "Stop him for me." ”

"No one is allowed to stop you." Qin Zhen also ordered everyone.

Although King Ding is the head of the family, he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the house, and the princess is the one who is really in charge. Therefore, when people are confronted with these two opposing commands, they don't know what to do.

As a result, no one moved, and when he hesitated, Song Yunchen had already walked away.

Qin Zhen saw that Song Yunchen had gone away, so he let go of King Ding, knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The concubine was rude to the prince just now, please punish the prince." ”

King Ding said: "He has offended you a lot, and you have to protect him." This king thought you were the most reasonable, why are you so confused today? If you indulge him like this, he will not only not be grateful, but will become even more lawless. ”

Qin Zhen said: "Lord, eight years ago, the concubine watched my second brother fall out with his father and run away, and in the end, my mother couldn't see her son when she was dying, and she regretted leaving. The concubine really doesn't want something like this to happen in the palace again, so she stops you regardless of her identity.

Although Yunchen has been playful all these years, he has not done anything big. In his early years, he was a filial and obedient child, and the reason why he became like this was because of me. ”

Qin Zhen spoke earnestly, and King Ding listened with a lot of emotion, and was no longer angry.

"That's it, old things, don't mention it again. This is the end of today's business, and this king will find another opportunity to exhort and exhort Chen'er, so get up. ”

King Ding personally helped Qin Zhen up, sighed again, and left with his hands.
