Chapter 38: The Prince Is Grounded
When he said this, the emperor's face became a little gloomy again, although he didn't say anything, and others couldn't see anything from a distance, but the queen sat next to him, and the first thing to feel was a chill on the emperor's body.
She sensed that something was wrong, where did this wrong come from, and it had something to do with what the prince said.
The queen kept glaring at her son and told him to shut up, but the prince said that he couldn't see the queen's eyes at all.
When the emperor asked again: "In your opinion, how should you take care of it?"
The prince seemed to have an uncontrollable joy on his face: "Erchen heard today that the daughter of General Pei's family has reached the age of marriage, and Erchen has been devoted to Miss Pei for a long time. ”
At this moment, the ugliness on the emperor's face could no longer be concealed, and the queen sat beside him, as uncomfortable as falling into an ice cave, and the coercion of the intuitive emperor forced her to breathe.
Not to mention the queen, even the most favored Concubine Lin sat in the position of the queen's head, and there was a person separated from the emperor, and they all noticed that the emperor's aura was not right.
The partial prince also said endlessly, and listed a bunch of rhetoric about how he fell in love with Pei Ruhuan: "...... This time it's just right to kiss and kiss......"
The emperor suddenly spoke coldly: "The prince is thinking that the concubine I chose for you is not in line with you?"
The crown prince was stunned suddenly, he didn't expect the emperor to react like this.
The other people below were also silent one by one, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and those who ate didn't dare to eat, and they didn't even dare to swallow the food in their mouths, for fear that one of them would accidentally anger themselves and become a bird to use as a punching bag for the emperor.
Hua Jinxiu was afraid that Xie Fuyao had never seen such a scene, so he grabbed her hand under the table and pinched it, Xie Fuyao squeezed Hua Jinxiu's hand in turn, signaling that she was okay.
Hua Jinxiu looked at her in surprise, now this child is much more sensible than before.
The queen's face was pale next to her, the emperor has become more and more taboo about the prince and courtiers getting closer to each other over the years, he is still the prince, the Pei family is still her mother's family, the prince made such a request, not to mention that he wants to take care of others and take care of the house is a little shameless, just say that this kiss is a good thing, but this is the royal family!
The queen felt that the prince was afraid that he was not eating wine and eating too much, so he said such a thing as death.
She didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, she only hoped that the prince, who was not brainy, could look at his father's face at this time and stop talking.
The crown prince suddenly didn't know why the emperor suddenly became angry, "The concubine chosen by the father and the emperor for his sons is naturally good, but the sons are still ......."
"Still not satisfied, are you?" The emperor didn't intend to give the prince a chance to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted him, "You are already the crown prince, after a hundred years, the foundation of this Western Qi will be yours, and now you are not satisfied!"
The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end he slapped the table with his hand, and the dishes on the table jumped.
Suddenly, the people below got up and left the table, knelt on the ground, and called the emperor to calm his anger.
The prince also knelt down for unknown reasons, he was a mediocre talent, if it wasn't for the queen, and he was the eldest son, he wouldn't be the prince, but he would have taken up both, and the courtiers unanimously respected him, otherwise he would be the best destination to be a rich and idle king who beckons cats and dogs.
Xie Fuyao knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement next to him.
Wei Jingyao risked death and said: "Father, the eldest brother is fond of Miss Pei, and it must be because he has a deep affection for Miss Pei at such a moment, and he hopes that his father will fulfill the eldest brother's sincerity!"
Concubine Cheng was startled, she never thought that her son could come out to wade into troubled waters at this time, but the emperor didn't speak, and she didn't dare to open her mouth, so she could only glare at her son fiercely.
Wei Jingyao saw it, but he didn't see it, and continued: "Father, there is a way that is easy to obtain priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover, and now the eldest brother is willing to marry Miss Pei as a side concubine, which is also Miss Pei's blessing......"
"Shut up!" the emperor was furious, grabbed a plate of fruit and fell down, Wei Jingyao immediately fell down and stopped talking.
Concubine Cheng was frightened and tried to intercede for her son: "Your Majesty, Jing Yao said these words because he was also worried about his brotherhood, and he was taught by the concubines, and asked the emperor not to blame Jing Yao, if you want to blame, blame the concubines!"
She is not much favored in the harem, and the fourth concubine is also because she gave birth to Wei Jingyao, and she doesn't talk much on weekdays, so she is a quiet character.
The emperor knew who she was, and he also knew that the son she taught was the same character as her, and he didn't fight or fight on weekdays, and he didn't intend to blame her and Wei Jingyao, but he was angry, and he didn't pay attention to their mother and son.
Wei Jingyao's words sounded the alarm like a hammer in the emperor's heart.
He is the crown prince, he should have the world and the society in his heart, and the private feelings of his children are the most important.
If he asked to marry Pei Ruhuan this time, it was really just because of the personal relationship of his children, but his obvious purpose was not pure.
The emperor hates the people under him the most, playing right and wrong, what kind of life is Pei Ruhuan now, the prince dares to say that he doesn't know?
He is already the crown prince, only one step away from the dragon chair, and the concubine is also the daughter of the hairpin family, what is he not satisfied with?
If there is, then it can only be that he covets the throne.
This is the most taboo for the emperor, the royal people only said that they have always believed in the number of heavenly phenomena, and the emperor himself believes that Pei Ruhuan is a noble wangfu, how can the prince not believe it?
"The prince lost his words when he was drunk, and his nonsense was not in order. Come on, send the prince back to the prince's mansion to raise, when you wake up and when you come back to me to talk back. ”
Hearing this, he actually planned to put the prince under house arrest?
Everyone was shocked and had different thoughts, everyone at the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was in danger, and the voice of the prince shouting for mercy and admitting his mistake resounded throughout the hall, but the emperor did not intend to be soft at all.
The queen was uneasy, and she didn't dare to plead, she knew that pleading for mercy now was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, so she could only pass the current hurdle first, and then make plans in the future, fortunately, it was just house arrest, not a waste of the prince, and it was very easy to turn around.
The crown prince was taken away, the emperor shouted flat, and the banquet continued, as if nothing had happened, as usual, it was still the same as the sound of the silk and bamboo, but everyone was no longer as relaxed as Fang Cai, and they all had their hearts in their hearts, and they had no intention of watching songs and dances.
Concubine Cheng returned to her position, secretly relieved, and looked at Wei Jingyao across the seat, with reproach in her eyes.
Wei Jingyao just smiled lightly and lowered her head, which means that it is not a loss, and Concubine Cheng lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze.
