In the Xinglong Tea House, Liu Feng, who was accompanying the emperor, watched the emperor and the queen mother talking and laughing, tasting the skills of famous chefs, and the three princes also behaved very well most of the time under the interrogation of the supreme emperor and queen, as for Concubine Yu and the princesses and several princesses, it was at least on the surface, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, who are easy to cause trouble, go one-on-one, and the world is really peaceful!

However, when he didn't pay attention, the emperor yawned a little excitedly.

No matter how delicious the dish is, even if it is dragon liver and phoenix marrow, eating too much is just the same thing. What's more, from just now to now, I have been eating and eating, and my taste has become so numb that I can't taste good. And when the emperor inadvertently glanced at the third prince and saw that the person was in a daze, he knew that his son was also bored.

I knew that I wouldn't let Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying go! Zhang Shou's kid often brings incidents, but he is witty and witty, extremely good at quibbling, and Zhu Ying is quick to talk, no matter who the opponent is, with this pair of wonderful people, he can eat two more bites, which is as stable as now, and he doesn't even talk funny...... Hey, the three princes are not as good as the four princes!

Thinking of this, the emperor directly put down his chopsticks and ordered angrily: "Go to the Jiangdu Mansion to inquire, it doesn't matter if the little couple doesn't come back, why can't Shiro be seen?" It takes so long to watch the excitement? ”

The third prince came to his senses, but he opened his mouth, and the emperor seemed to know what he was going to say, and quickly picked up a Cantonese-style salt-baked chicken leg on the plate, stuffed it directly into his son's mouth, and blocked the words that came to his mouth, and then he clapped his hands neatly.

"This dish tastes good. Since the Han Dynasty, the monopoly of salt and iron has always been the only way for the imperial court to make profits, so the price of salt is often so high that the common people often can't afford it, and the illegal salt dealers are even more rampant. However, Emperor Taizu was born in response to the mandate of heaven, and he emphasized agriculture and industry, and did not use salt for profit, and even the method of boiling salt was greatly improved. Nowadays, although the cost of this dish is high, it is not expensive. ”

The third prince was choked by this chicken leg and his face was red, but when he heard his father's words, he suddenly realized that he had taken the chicken leg out of his mouth so easily, and then nodded with reverence on his face.

And this scene fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was angry and funny. It has been twenty-seven years since the Son of Peace, and there are a lot of people with children under his knees, and they are still so willful! is obviously just teasing his son, but he still has to say a big truth, that is, an honest child like the third prince will take it seriously. Such a good child is very good, but there is still much to learn from ingenuity......

Concubine Yu couldn't help but laugh dumbly when she saw the emperor teasing the third prince. The concubine on the side was quiet, and the two chatted casually, but they were not bored, but she looked at the three princesses of Deyang, who were already famous, and they were obviously very reasonable, but they still had to take care of the widowed Princess Yongping from time to time, and she couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart.

On the contrary, Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang sat as peacefully as Mount Tai, and the two even had leisure to discuss how to handle the marriage of Zhu Tingfang and Zhu Ying...... As for the-for-tat confrontation between Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying before, the two didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.

Only Wu Ge Lao and Zhang Yu, a university scholar, didn't know what they were here for today, so they could only simply put all their energy on the word eating, and they were more conscientious than anyone else when commenting. Seeing that this was almost over, the two of them were thinking about the reaction of the emperor just now, and were quietly discussing how many people would be selected to return, when they suddenly heard a sound of pedaling upstairs from the stairs.

Knowing that it was Lu Sanlang on the second floor who was greeting a group of folk judges, and the idle people would definitely not be put up at this time, Wu Ge Lao and Zhang Yu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this should be the fourth prince coming back. Sure enough, the next moment, the two heard a loud voice.

"Father, the son is back!"

With this voice, an agile figure rushed up, and then trotted directly to the front of the palace. Seeing that the third prince was still holding a big chicken leg in his hand, looking at him with a bewildered face, the fourth prince smiled and said, "Third brother, don't worry, although I am hungry, I will not rob you of your food......"

said these nonsensical words in his mouth, but the eyes of the four princes rolled wildly. He first went to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yu to salute and say goodbye, and then returned to the emperor with a cigarette, attached to people's ears, and said pitifully: "Father, the son is in trouble!" ”

The emperor's forehead jumped, but then he didn't move, just said lightly: "Oh, let's hear it? "Anyway, he was either eavesdropping and peeping and was caught by the king of Jiangdu, or he sneaked into his cousin's workshop in the palace of the king of Jiangdu and broke something...... Anyway, this bear kid is this kind of troublemaker!

However, the emperor's indifferent face quickly froze. Because the fourth prince burst his mouth quickly, he quickly confessed the strange case of falling into the water, as well as what he said in front of Shen County Ling and the three scholars.

If it were according to the temperament of the four princes, of course it would not be so honest. However, Zhang Shou, who was also present, knew how big the disaster was caused by the four princes' "childlike words" today. The worst thing is that there were a lot of people present at that time!

Therefore, when Shen County's order said the word impeachment, he immediately dragged the four princes over, and asked him to return to the Xinglong Tea House immediately and report the matter to the emperor, without any concealment.

However, the fourth prince said that he was in trouble at this time, but he didn't feel that he had caused any trouble in his heart, but the emperor was shocked and angry, and he couldn't help but pinch the handrail with his last hand, otherwise he doubted that he would grab Liu Feng beside him, and then kick this mouthy Qianqing Palace steward brand downstairs!

Last time, this guy leaked the news to the fourth prince, and he had already been punished heavily, and this time he even committed it again!

Not only did he commit it again, but what was leaked was the secret of the celebrant supervisor! You know, how the eunuchs in the palace came to be, how they were cultivated, this is also a secret that a small number of people know, the elders may know a little, but ordinary courtiers and scholars absolutely don't know!

Is Liu Feng this guy greasy?

Liu Feng, who was standing beside the Son of Heaven, suddenly felt chills all over his body, but he quickly glanced around, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and for a while he could only attribute it to being too sensitive. He didn't notice at all that the emperor, who was playing with a knife that had just cut a leg of mutton, pursed his lips at this moment, his eyes were deep, and he was already angry to the extreme.

It was easy to restrain the impulse to attack immediately, and the emperor glanced at the four princes who were like honest quails at this time, and then asked angrily: "You are the only one who has come back, what about them?" ”

There was such a big incident, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying just hid? I can't hide from the first day of junior high school and I can't hide from the fifteenth!

Although the fourth prince is a bear child, he is the best at observing words and feelings, at this time, seeing his father like this, he can't help but feel furious in his heart, secretly thinking that the teacher really guessed right, and his father is really angry!

Although he didn't know what he was wrong, he still stepped forward and knelt on his father's shoulder, and whispered into his ear: "The teacher said to Shen Xianling and Lin Laohu, so he took the three scholars back to Zhang Yuan." ”

The emperor's eyelids jumped, and he secretly thought that Zhang Shou finally knew that he could control the three scholars who were likely to have big mouths, and also instructed Shen County Ling and the two head catchers, the former estimated that he would not be able to talk nonsense in Zhang Yuan, and the latter was estimated to be useless. But when the fourth prince said the next sentence, he felt his head explode.

"Shen County ordered that he wanted to impeach Liu Feng...... Father, is it just such a trivial matter? ”

"Little fart!" The emperor finally couldn't help but scold, and when he saw that the Queen Mother and the others were all looking at him in surprise, he forced a smile and explained, "Shiro, this kid doesn't do good things, he will get into trouble as soon as he goes out, Jiuzhang and Yingying didn't look at it, I have to go and end it for him!" Who to choose next to enter the imperial dining room, simply let the queen mother decide! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor stood up directly, then glanced at the third prince who was dazed, and said conclusively: "San Lang, you are the one who is going to be the crown prince, this time, you help your imperial grandmother to consider it carefully, you should know best what I liked and disliked just now!" I'm not here, you can sit in this seat! ”

The last seven words had a distinct meaning, and for a while, Wu Ge Lao and Zhang Yu couldn't help but stand up.

And the Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that the so-called four princes were in trouble, and it was definitely not as simple as what they had done in the Jiangdu Palace. Seeing that Concubine Yu, Mrs. Tai and others also got up one after another, she thought about it, and simply stood up and nodded at the emperor.

"Emperor, if you have something to do, just leave San Lang behind. You say that the wind is the rain, and I can't afford it, but San Lang is more secure than you, the father, to stay here. ”

"That's good." The emperor squeezed out a smile at the queen mother, and then reached out and pulled the third prince and pressed him to the middle chair. Seeing that the person sat down in amazement, then it was as if his buttocks were burned, and as soon as he bulleted, he smiled and touched the person's head, and then forcibly pressed the person to sit on the chair, "San Lang, do this well, the right should be a test for you!" ”

The Third Prince nodded sluggishly—even if he was a mess in his heart at the moment, and he wanted to refuse. Even if he helps the Queen Mother choose the imperial chef, he doesn't have to sit in this position, right? However, seeing that the emperor was dragging the four princes and leaving in a hurry, Liu Feng hurriedly followed, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.

Looking at his father's fiery posture, could it be that the fourth brother really broke into something terrible? If he doesn't go, if his father attacks the fourth brother, will he not even have a person to persuade him? Why didn't the teacher and Sister Yingying come, how could the fourth brother come back alone to report? What the hell is going on, can someone tell him clearly!

The mood of the three princes, the emperor can't take care of it at all, he only knows that with the queen mother pressing the formation, the three princes will act safely, and there will be no mistakes. And when he got out of the Xinglong Tea House, many guards came up, he turned over and got on his horse, and seeing that Liu Feng had already followed behind, he couldn't help but snort coldly from his nose.

"Father, where are you going now?" Rao is the fourth prince Zai Xiong, and at this time he also knew that the situation seemed to be more serious than he expected, so he cautiously inquired at the moment. Seeing that the emperor had a dark face and didn't speak, he could only ask stubbornly, "Do you want to go to Wanping County or to the teacher?" ”

"Go back to the palace!" The Emperor burst out these two words, and then turned his horse away without hesitation. Faced with this situation, the four princes were taken aback and even more frightened, and hurriedly hit their horses to keep up. And as a large number of soldiers and horses of the Rui Cavalry Battalion were trained to open the way and escort to follow, Liu Feng, who was at the end, couldn't help but smile a little gloatingly.

Today, Chu Kuan was deflated in front of Mrs. Tai and Jiu Niang, and the four princes who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth were clearly angry with the emperor, which was really relieving! One of these two never took him seriously, and the other caused him to be punished by the emperor, and he was disgraced, and he almost lost his position again...... It's best for the emperor to be angry and punish these two guys!

The emperor galloped all the way, and when he entered Donghua Gate from Dong'an Gate and drove straight into the Qianqing Palace, he directly dismissed all the palace attendants who were waiting, leaving only the four princes and Liu Feng. Seeing that Liu Feng was looking at his nose and nose, and his face was calm and indifferent, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but slap the armrest.

"Bastard thing, you dare to tell right and wrong in front of Shiro, who gave your dog guts!"

When Liu Feng first heard the words bastard, he didn't realize that he was scolding himself, and when he heard the latter words, he realized that something was wrong. didn't know what was going on, and while he knelt down with a plop, he immediately cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't do anything......

"Nothing? Oh, I didn't do anything, how would Shiro know how the master of ceremonies accepted people, how did he know that they were all orphans adopted by Shantang, how did he know that he had to cut off family and nostalgia, and how did he know that he had to pass through layers of screening! ”

After a series of questions, the emperor saw that Liu Feng's face gradually turned pale, and he sneered: "It seems that you remembered what you said to Shiro?" ”

When the fourth prince saw Liu Feng peeking at him, he glared at him in annoyance, and then simply told Liu Feng to himself like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and what he had said in front of everyone was like a gourd again, and finally said sullenly: "He swore that it was all true, and he took me to the inner study hall to see it...... That's why I can't help but say it today! ”

If he felt that he had been wronged to the extreme, then at this moment, when Liu Feng saw the emperor's increasingly cold face, he knew that he was in a catastrophe this time. He naturally had bad intentions when he told the four princes about the ceremonial supervisor, but he hoped that the four princes would come to the emperor and say it, who knew that the four princes would talk nonsense outside with their big mouths, and even added four words.

What is called is what Liu Feng said! He turned his heart sideways, and directly wept bitterly and kowtowed, but he said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor spares his life, and the slave and maid are only showing off because the fourth prince is curious to ask, I really didn't expect him to go outside to say it...... The slave and maid just saw that the master of ceremonies was self-contained, and the grandfathers of the past generations didn't know how to choose people, so the slave and maid ......"
