The old prince also didn't quite understand the prince's thoughts, he would perform well in whatever aspect he was capable of, and he had to touch what he was not good at, and now he exposed his ambitions and shortcomings. He really thought that the position of the crown prince was so stable that he was sitting, not to mention that King Yi was the eldest prince and was also eyeing him from the side.

If something really happens to this errand, some people are waiting to arrest him and impeach. This is one of the reasons why he secretly made a move to let the prince receive this errand.

"I'm afraid that the prince was stimulated by King Yi's invitation to go to the border to fight." Lin Zhuohua hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered, why didn't she see that the prince was so stupid in her last life.

Although the old prince agreed with his granddaughter's words, he still reached out and knocked her on the head: "You can also say the words of the prince of this arrangement, don't you know if the wall has ears?" It would be a great sin to let someone with a heart hear it. ”

Lin Zhuohua stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly: "My granddaughter is just saying a few words in front of you and grandmother, but as the prince of a country, he is narrow-minded, and he actually cares about my little girl." Such a person doesn't know what will happen to him when he ascends the throne as the emperor and queen in the future. ”

Seeing that the little granddaughter's courage was getting bigger and bigger, he glared at her angrily: "Okay, how can the prince not care about our business." Anyway, our government is only loyal to the emperor, so don't worry about other things. ”

Lin Zhuohua smiled, and learned a lot about Rong County from her grandfather, knowing that the prince's situation was not good at this time, she felt much more comfortable. Why did Li Zeyi risk his life to be an undercover agent in Longrui, but the prince enjoyed happiness in Beijing. If it weren't for her grandfather to strike first, she would have to find something to block the prince.

Thinking of the last time they caught the case of embezzlement by the prince's subordinates, although it was closed, it didn't have much impact on the prince. But this matter was suppressed by the emperor, and the outside did not know. Now that the prince's reputation outside is getting better and better, she has to do something.

The beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, and an idea came from the bottom of her heart.

She had always been a hands-on person, and the next day was arranged. Within a few days, some rumors about the crown prince spread in Beijing, conniving at the people around him to embezzle and take bribes. Originally, the people still didn't believe it, but many sufferers who had been suffering because of this matter stood up one after another, and no one from the prince's mansion came out to clarify, and gradually the rumors became more and more popular.

Soon even the palace heard rumors, and the emperor was reviewing the recital in the imperial study, and he saw several impeachment princes in a row for conniving at corruption and bribery of his subordinates. What is said in that fold is reasonable and well-founded, and it is really difficult to argue. The angry imperial commander slapped on the imperial case, his face full of anger.

I don't know if it's the angry prince, or the angry that these officials have folded their bullets to impeach the prince.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the imperial study instantly bowed their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe. Everyone knows that the emperor is angry at this time, and if anyone bumps into it, it will definitely end badly, and he may lose his life.

Gonggong Chen glanced at the people waiting below and was too frightened to make a sound, sighed in his heart, and stepped forward to fill the empty tea bowl with tea.

"The emperor has been watching the recital for an hour, so let's rest for a while."

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace retreat, leaving only the confidant and chief eunuch Chen Gonggong, and then spoke: "Look at the fold of impeachment of the prince sent to me like a snowflake, how many messes I helped him clean up before, and now he is really more and more bold." ”

He sneered, and the prince was becoming more and more disgusting now. He had already helped him reduce the power of other people a lot, but he was not satisfied, and even wanted to stretch his hand into the army, which he would never allow. He is still alive and well, and the prince is already a little impatient.

Gonggong Chen glanced at the folds spread out on the imperial case, and gently persuaded: "The prince is still young, and the emperor still has time to train well in this year's luxury." ”

No matter how bad the prince is, he is also the emperor's son, how can he be a eunuch who can say that the prince of a country has, even if he has some weight by the emperor's side. But he knew in his heart that it was because he knew what to say and what not to say.

Sure enough, the emperor's face softened a little, but he was still angry: "This time, you don't need to send someone to suppress this rumor, it can be regarded as a punishment for him." ”

Gonggong Chen hurriedly responded respectfully, and then persuaded a few words to finally coax the emperor.

"Is there any news from Yi'er?"

Thinking that his beloved son had sneaked into King Longrui at risk, he was both proud and distressed. His body is indeed much better than before, but he is still worried about how his body can bear the bad weather at the border gate.

"No, but there's news from the border. Long Rui didn't provoke again during this time, and it seemed that he was dormant after winter. They did not receive instructions from King Yat and did not attack again. ”

Gonggong Chen hurriedly reported, and he admired King Yi a little more in his heart. On weekdays, he looks a little lazy, but when Jingguo was provoked by Long Rui, he stood up and was willing to rush to the border to participate in the war. Looking at the prince again, he wants to get military power but doesn't want to risk it alone.

When the emperor mentioned this matter in the court, except for King Yi, no one spoke up at all. Even the eldest prince, who is quite brave and good at fighting, did not ask for war because of many concerns. On the contrary, King Yi, who usually doesn't go to court much and is always sick and weak, stood up.

But how is it spread outside, it is said that King Yi went to the border just to rob those soldiers of their military exploits, and all kinds of bad words are attacking King Yi. He waited for King Yi to return triumphantly and slapped those people in the face.

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and stood up: "Didn't the palace maid beside Concubine Wan come to invite me before, go to Yuehua Palace to sit there." ”

Gonggong Chen hurriedly arranged for someone to prepare the imperial public opinion and set up the Yuehua Palace.

In the Yuehua Palace, Concubine Wan was teasing the snow-white cat in her arms, which was a precious breed of Persian cat and was very beautiful. It nestled in its owner's arms, squinting and enjoying.

"Niangniang, the emperor is coming this way." The big palace maid came in from outside and opened her mouth happily.

When Concubine Wan heard this, she handed over the cat in her hand to the palace people on the side, got up from the chaise longue, and let the palace people wait for a simple dress-up, and then led the palace people to the door of the inner hall to greet the holy car.

When the emperor walked in, he saw Concubine Wan standing at the door of the palace, with a gentle smile on her face, and strode forward to help the person who was about to salute up.

"You are cold, why do you run to the door of the temple to greet me, come in quickly."

Concubine Wan didn't say anything when she heard this, but just followed the emperor into the inner hall softly. Let the palace people serve hot tea, personally pour a cup and hand it to the emperor.

"Warm up with a cup of hot tea. It's almost time for lunch, does the emperor want to stay for dinner? She was really flattered, she asked people to go to the imperial study to invite the emperor to come over, I thought it would be night, but I didn't expect it to come at noon.

The emperor nodded, since people had already come over and caught up with this time, he naturally stayed to eat. Seeing this, Gonggong Chen immediately sent someone to the imperial dining room to say that lunch would be sent directly to Yuehua Palace.

"Concubine Ai asked the palace people to invite me over, but what's the matter?"

Concubine Wan has a quiet temperament, and if there is nothing to do, she will never let people go to the imperial study to invite him. So when he had some free time, he came over to see what was going on.

Concubine Wan sat down on the other side, and smiled gently after hearing the emperor's words: "That's the case, Jing'er has also reached the age of marriage." He has been traveling outside all these years, and it is time to get married when he comes back this time. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's really time to get married, have you had a crush on the daughter of which family?" ”

"A few days ago, Jing'er entered the palace and told me that he had fallen in love with the daughter of the Feng family. During the last peony feast, he played polo with that Miss Feng, and then went out to ride horses together a few times, and felt that she was quite different from other noble ladies. ”

Concubine Wan pursed her lips, she was very surprised when she heard that her son took the initiative to ask to marry Feng Shuhui. But this is a rare request made by her son himself, and she naturally has to work hard. She vaguely heard some news that the prince seemed to want to take the eldest lady of the Feng family as a side concubine.

She quietly glanced at the emperor and saw that he was not displeased, so she was relieved.

The emperor was slightly surprised, his son always stayed in Shangjing, and traveled outside all the year round. He was still thinking about what kind of woman he would fall into, but he didn't expect to fall in love with the girl from the Feng family.

Thinking of the prince's plan, the emperor had a change of heart. He naturally heard the news about Feng Shuhui outside. The girl and the girl of the Lin family are both apprenticed to the Ouyang family, a hidden family, and their identities naturally rise with the tide, and they are no longer suitable for being concubines, even if they are the prince's concubines, they are also concubines.

And he didn't want to give the Feng family's girl to the crown prince in marriage, since Jing'er rarely spoke once, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Well, Jing'er rarely opens her mouth once, it can be seen that she really likes the girl of the Feng family. In that case, when Commander Feng returns, I will ask him first. ”

Concubine Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, as long as the emperor did not directly refuse. Listening to this tone, it can be seen that as long as Commander Feng agrees, the emperor will give marriage.

After the emperor had lunch in Yuehua Palace, he rested for a while, and then returned to the imperial study to continue to review the recitals, and Concubine Wan asked people to pass the word to her son.

At this time, he was drinking and chatting with his friends outside, and when he saw his henchmen coming in, he got up and followed him out.

When he returned to the house, he said a few words to the people inside and left. The egg hurts

Sitting in the carriage waiting outside, he leaned on the soft pillow and ordered, "Enter the palace." ”

In winter, when it is cold, Lin Zhuohua rarely goes out. If there is anything important, it is usually white jade and red beads that come forward. She has been designing her wedding dress in the house, and it took half a month to design the wedding dress, and then handed it over to the embroidery lady in the house.

When the embroidery girl got the design of the wedding dress, she was amazed and admired. If this wedding dress is embroidered, what will it be, they are a little impatient to do it.

This design was sent by Lin Zhuohua personally, and he told them all the places to pay attention to in this wedding dress, and left satisfied after making sure they all understood.

In the following days, she lay down every day, occasionally teaching Mu Xia's poison and medical skills. The days came to the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and the house began to get busy.

Mrs. Lin saw that her daughter was a little idle, so she pulled her by her side to help. Lin Zhuohua was very helpless, but seeing that his mother's face was not very good, he consciously took over the rest.

On this day, Lin Zhuohua had just arranged things for the steward below and was about to go back to his yard to rest, when he saw Bai Yu hurriedly running over and whispered in her ear: "Miss, the prince is back." I heard that the bandits on the side of Rong County have all been wiped out, but more than half of the people brought by the prince have also been injured. ”

Lin Zhuohua raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Let's go, let's go back to Taoyuan first, and you can talk about it in detail." ”

Back in Taoyuan, Bai Yu told her young lady all the news she had heard. She can see that as long as there is bad news about the prince, her own young lady will be very happy when she hears it.

After Lin Zhuohua listened, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. The prince is afraid that he will steal chickens and rice this time, but anyone who has some ability will not break half of his hands over there. This time, the emperor is afraid that he will be angry, and he doesn't know what kind of punishment the prince will get.

The prince, who was secretly rubbed by Lin Zhuohua, was kneeling in the imperial study at this time. His face was pale and full of guilt.

"Father, this time it was the son's carelessness, you punish the son."

The crown prince knew that this time would definitely make his father angry, so he didn't edit it for himself, and decisively knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

The emperor's face was dark, and he looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground with a guilty face. The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he smashed the cup in his hand, the cup rubbed at the prince's feet, and the tea gradually covered the prince's body.

The prince knelt straight, didn't dare to dodge for a moment, and was beaten alive. He was apprehensive in his heart, he didn't expect his father to be so angry.

"Punishing you? Punishment: Can you get back the lives of those soldiers who sacrificed? The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, those vicious bandits in Rong County are not very powerful, and those who have some talent in leading troops in battle will not let their soldiers lose half.

The prince pursed his lips, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.

Looking at the prince who didn't say a word, the emperor became more and more disappointed. He sighed in his heart, and then waved his hand: "You go back to the East Palace, you don't have to go to court these days." ”

The prince moved the corners of his mouth, and finally said nothing, but bowed respectfully and withdrew.

The emperor watched the prince leave, and then asked Gonggong Chen beside him: "Who is the deputy general sent to follow the prince this time?" ”

"It's a little lieutenant general surnamed He, this time it's fortunate to be this person, otherwise I'm afraid there will be more people who will be damaged." Gonggong Chen hurriedly told the news he knew.

After pondering for a moment, the emperor wrote a holy decree and handed it to Gonggong Chen: "Take it to He's family to announce the decree." ”

Gonggong Chen immediately respectfully accepted the decree, and then took the little eunuch out of the He Mansion to announce the decree.

After the crown prince returned to the East Palace, he soon received the news that Vice Admiral He would be promoted to an official position. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his gaze fell into the blue sky. Although he was reprimanded by his father, his people were still promoted as he wished.

In this game, he still has a slight advantage.

A man in black quietly appeared behind the crown prince, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Your Highness, King Yi still has no news. ”

Now it has been a long time since King Yi disappeared, and many people feel that King Yi is afraid that this time King Yi is more than lucky.

"There's no news from the Five Princes either?"

"Nope."

The prince's eyes were deep, and he spoke for a long time: "Go on, live to see people and dead to see corpses." ”

He always felt that Li Zeyi would not die so easily, so he would not give up and continue to search, if he could not be eliminated this time, he would definitely become one of his stumbling blocks in the future.

"Yes, master." After the man in black finished speaking, he continued: "The purple jade prince sent a letter over there. ”

He handed over a letter, and waited in silence.

The prince took the letter, opened it, and read it. After reading the letter, his brows furrowed slightly.

He still can't get involved in the border pass, so he can't cooperate with Ziyu Gongzi in many things. After pondering for a moment, he took up the pen and replied, and when he had finished writing, he handed it to his subordinates.

"Send the letter to the Purple Jade Prince."

The man in black took the letter, and then left quietly.

The news that the crown prince was reprimanded by the emperor and introspected himself in the East Palace spread in Shangjing.

Lin Zhuohua was slightly disappointed when he got the news, it seems that the emperor still has hope for the crown prince. The gentle punishment did not reduce some of the prince's power.

The old man looked at his granddaughter's face and couldn't hide the disappointment, and reached out and knocked her on the head.

"The crown prince has been made a prince since birth, and the emperor has put a lot of thought about him. Even King Yi can't shake the status of the crown prince, and if you want the emperor to be completely disappointed in the prince, it is not something that can be done with such small things. ”

Lin Zhuohua nodded when he heard this: "Grandfather, these granddaughters know, but they just feel a little disappointed." ”

Hearing this, Lao Guogong touched her head and said with a smile: "Although the prince was only punished by the emperor this time, many things add up. These small disappointments accumulate, and eventually the emperor will gradually become more and more disappointed in the crown prince. ”

Now the emperor's health is not bad, and the crown prince will be under more and more pressure because of Li Zeyi's rise, and the more pressure people have, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The corners of her mouth curled, and she seemed to be in a better mood. I haven't corresponded with Li Zeyi for a long time, and I don't know how he is now.

"Grandfather, do you have any news of King Yi?"

The old prince put down the tea cup in his hand: "No, there was a message from Commander Feng who came back." Jin Jun has made a lot of contributions over there, and he should be promoted by virtue of his military merits when he comes back this time. ”

Lin Zhuohua's eyes lit up, and he was happy for his eldest brother. The exercises she gave to her eldest brother were very precious, and as long as he learned a little, he was already much more powerful than most people. Of course, it can't be compared with a pervert like Li Zeyi, even if he learns everything, he can't beat others.

Speaking of his eldest grandson, the old man remembered the child.

"How's that kid doing?"

Lin Zhuohua was dazed for a moment, and then immediately thought of who the child in his grandfather's mouth was. She probably hadn't seen the child in a long time, and she didn't know what was going on with the child.
