On the second day, Ling Hua packed up and rode into the palace.

She still went to see the emperor first, today the emperor went down early, when she arrived, just in time for the emperor to go down, the crown prince and the second prince followed the emperor to the imperial study, and saw Ling Hua, the prince Xiao Ze was naturally a good sneer, and the second prince Xiao Zhen was still like an invisible person, very quiet in front of the emperor.

In the face of the prince's ridicule, Ling Hua didn't give an inch, and taunted back, Xiao Ze mocked her for wanting a wedding banquet, and she mocked the princess's maiden family, the Wen family, even in front of the emperor, she still put on a posture who let you mess with me, I am not used to your attitude.

The emperor let the two of you come and go, and then waved his hand to stop it, and reprimanded Xiao Ze, "Prince, what are you talking about?" Yan Qing is your cousin, and you belittle him everywhere, is it my brother and brother Gong who I taught you? ”

The prince immediately stopped pleading guilty, "Erchen knows his mistake." ”

The emperor said to Ling Hua with a straight face, "Tell me about you, a daughter's family, why are you so sharp-tongued?" I heard that Qin Huan was scared by you and didn't dare to marry you, Yan Qing is marrying you now, his temper, you are like this in front of him? ”

Ling Hua also asked for sin, "Your Majesty forgives you, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mess with the ministers, the ministers will not be too lazy to waste saliva." ”

She lowered her head aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, can you give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a holy decree?" Let him see the minister in the future, don't look for trouble first, okay? The minister is also tired of coping, the minister is doing errands for His Majesty, doing his duty, and being loyal, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly found trouble with the ministers, and it is not a day or two, and the minister can't make any mistakes without making any mistakes, so he stretches out his face and lets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beat hard, right? ”

Xiao Ze was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, "Ling Hua, is this palace deliberately making trouble for you, or are you secretly always making trouble with this palace?" You don't pretend to be in front of your father. ”

Ling Hua looked at him calmly, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you give your ministers eye medicine behind your back to make trouble?" If you're in trouble, just go back. Whether it's openly or secretly, in short, it's the minister you provoke first. ”

Xiao Ze choked.

If it is counted from three years ago, it is really the Ling family that the prince and the prince of the East Palace framed first, and then, Ling Hua took over Jiangnan Caoyun and destroyed the interests of the East Palace, he naturally made trouble for Ling Hua, and Ling Hua is not a good bully, several times let him steal chickens and rice, back and forth, this beam is getting bigger and bigger, but Ling Hua's subordinates are not afraid of the people of the East Palace, and her subordinates pinched each other, and she and Ling Hua saw more pinching, so that it came to this point.

In other words, Ling Hua was not wrong.

The Emperor snorted heavily, "You two, do you want me to play fifty boards each?" ”

The two of them shut their mouths in unison.

The emperor was not angry, "I pinch it every time I get to a piece, do you want me to make room for you and let you pinch enough?" ”

He pointed to Xiao Zhen, who had been very quiet, "You learn from your brother, your brother never causes trouble for me, look at you again, I am really used to you, as a prince, there is no magnanimity, the baht must be compared, how can you be up to the task?" This will give me half a month to go back to your East Palace and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Xiao Ze's face changed greatly, "Father! ”

This is a heavy penalty that has never been imposed before!

"Hurry up and get out of here." The Emperor waved at him, looking unhappy to see him.

Xiao Ze was unwilling, and looked at Ling Hua, "My father punished his son, what about Ling Hua?" How did her father punish her? She is also out of honor in front of the palace. ”

The Emperor also looked at Ling Hua.

Ling Hua blinked, "Your Majesty, the minister is a woman, and the woman is already cautious; The minister is not a prince, and he does not need to learn magnanimity; The minister's entry into the palace today is to thank His Majesty, and he didn't want to do anything else at all. ”

Xiao Ze was almost stunned, "Qubble! ”

The emperor also smiled angrily, and pointed at Ling Hua, "The prince is a good character, but you have repeatedly lost his square inch in anger, do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with it?" But what you said also has some truth, so I won't punish you heavily, and I will punish you for half a month, and come to see me with a banquet. ”

Ling Hua: "......"

What kind of discipline is this, not a heavy fine? How much Yan Qing doesn't want to see him enter the palace, who doesn't know this capital? She's going to have to do everything in her power to kidnap him to the palace to face the saint, right?

She immediately walked over to apologize to Xiao Ze, "His Royal Highness the Prince, are they all ministers, ministers should obediently stand in place and listen to your sneering scolding ministers, ministers should not return a word, you adults don't remember villains, it's the minister's mistake, you forgive the minister, let's reconcile!" ”

Xiao Ze: "......"

What's that?

He looked at Ling Hua, suspecting that he was dazzled and hallucinating, and glared at Ling Hua, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, it's the minister's mistake, the two of us, make amends to Your Majesty, and then, no one will be punished, what do you think?" Ling Hua said seriously, "The walls of the East Palace are deep, you can't leave the house after half a month behind closed doors, will it be very boring?" Can you stand it? ”

Xiao Ze understood, and snorted coldly, "Do you know that you can't invite you to the banquet?" ”

He flicked his sleeves and gave Ling Hua a look that you can't climb, "This palace has made a mistake, my father and the emperor should punish this palace, this palace will go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, you can take your punishment yourself!" ”

He threw down a word, willingly accepted the punishment, and turned to leave.

Ling Hua: "......"

Xiao Ze, this bastard! He's smart!

She turned around and seriously suggested to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have punished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind closed doors, is the punishment too light?" In his view, you are not punishing him, but rewarding him. Who doesn't know that there was another beauty in the East Palace half a month ago, called Peony Girl, who was very favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince couldn't leave her when he brought tea and poured water, and now you punished him like this, his feelings are good, he doesn't have to pay attention to the court, he hides and calms down, and he is only locked up in the house and the concubines every day......

The emperor was angry enough, "You shut up for me." ”

Ling Hua closed his mouth, with a look on his face that what the minister said was the truth.

Xiao Zhen was originally angry with Ling Hua because of Yan Qing's heart, and it was inevitable that her heart would be happy at this time, she gave Xiao Ze eye medicine, she really spared no effort, Xiao Ze couldn't prevent it, did he think it would be useful if he left? Ling Hua's back move is still to come.

The Emperor took a deep breath, "Then you say, how should I punish him?" ”

Ling Hua looked sincere, "Your Majesty can not be punished, just cancel the punishment of the ministers." ”

The emperor rejected her words, "No, since you say that my punishment is unfair, then let him not be allowed to get close to women for half a month, and concentrate on copying the statecraft left by Taizu!" ”

When the words fell, he instructed Zhao Gonggong, "You go and pass on the decree in person, let Xiao Ze copy the theory of governing the country by himself within half a month, and you are not allowed to let others copy it on your behalf." ”

"Yes." Zhao Gonggong commanded.

"How? Do you still have an opinion? "The emperor has a look on his face, you dare to have any more opinions.

Ling Hua naturally didn't dare to have any more opinions, she was about to laugh in her heart, Taizu's statecraft theory has seven volumes, even if Xiao Ze wants to disobey Yang and Yin in half a month, he has no time to play with women, which is enough for him to copy for half a month.

She lowered her head and looked respectful, "Your Majesty Shengming!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should study the theory of governing the country hard. ”

The emperor snorted, glimpsed that Xiao Zhen was still quiet, even if he didn't like this son, he was satisfied, and said to him, "I called you today to ask you, I plan to set you a princess, do you have a favorite person?" ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned.

Ling Hua's mind moved, a few days ago, Xiao Zhen said that His Majesty intends to choose the princess for him, and intends to choose the youngest daughter of the Wen family in Youzhou, and now in a short time, His Majesty asked him if he has a favorite person? Is this going to give up and let him be both a brother and a brother-in-law with the prince? Or test him?

"Huh? What are you stunned about? What do I ask you? The emperor urged.

Xiao Zhen reluctantly restrained himself from looking at Ling Hua, and said very respectfully, "Erchen doesn't want to marry a wife for the time being." ”

"Why? Men should get married, and women should get married. The emperor frowned, "You are not too young, it's time to get married, the crown prince is two years older than you, and now he has been married for three years." ”

Xiao Zhen lowered his head, "The mother concubine has been suffering in the cold palace, and the sons have no intention of marrying a wife. ”

The emperor was immediately furious, "You still dare to pretend to her in front of me? How daring! Someone came, dragged him down to me and beat him hard, and he didn't mention it again......"

"Your Majesty!" Ling Hua secretly screamed badly, and immediately stepped forward and interrupted the emperor's words, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Royal Highness is still young, and it is not a big deal to discuss marriage a few years later, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been married for three years, the Crown Princess's stomach has not moved, it can be seen that it depends on fate." ”

The emperor's face turned pale, "Are you pleading for him?" ”

Ling Hua was helpless, "Your Majesty, you just punished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, if you then punish His Royal Highness the Second and spread it, isn't it good?" The minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were punished together, so naturally they did not intercede with His Royal Highness the Prince, but since the minister had bumped into this matter, he couldn't help but intercede with His Royal Highness, and he didn't provoke the minister......"

The emperor was furious and disgusted with Xiao Zhen, "You get out of here!" ”

Xiao Zhen calmly retired and walked out of the imperial study.

Ling Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded Xiao Zhen, if you don't want to marry, you don't want to marry, what kind of concubine in the cold palace is it? Don't you think you have the emperor's disgust enough?
