Chapter XXXVIII

Chu Xingze quickly went to An Lan's courtyard, but An Lan was indeed in a daze today.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Xingze said coldly, a little dissatisfied with An Lan's ignoring himself.

"Ahh I didn't think about anything, I was thinking about what the butler would ask the chef to cook today, so let's hurry over. After An Lan finished speaking, he pushed Chu Xingze to the hall.

And because of this news, the second prince was worried that he couldn't eat anything, and he was thinking about what to do, his father wanted to make the fifth prince the crown prince, and he kept turning in the second prince's mind.

The next day, the second prince got up early in the morning, ready to meet the emperor, looking at himself in the mirror, it was indeed good, and he brought all the gifts.

"Your Majesty, the second prince asks to see you." The eunuch looked at the emperor respectfully, and the emperor was a little surprised when he heard that the second prince was coming, and then told the eunuch, "Let him in." ”

"Yes, the second prince of Xuan entered the palace." The eunuch loudly passed the word outside the palace, and Chu Xinghan was taken to the palace by a eunuch. "Sons see their father, long live their father, long live their father."

"Get up!" The emperor glanced at Chu Xinghan, and then continued to make up the folds. The second prince took out the gift he brought today and handed it to the chief eunuch, and said respectfully: "Father, this is a pair of calligraphy and paintings that the son inadvertently obtained from the people, and I want to use it for my father to evaluate." ”

The emperor picked up the calligraphy and painting and looked at it for a while and said: "This calligraphy and painting is really good, but it is not the original framed. ”

"Thank you for your father's teaching, but the fifth brother doesn't seem to be able to do calligraphy and painting." Chu Yunhui looked at the emperor suspiciously, and the emperor stood up and looked at Chu Xinghan and smiled.

"Xing'er, you and I let you learn your fifth brother's ability not to let you learn his calligraphy and painting ability, but what he is usually doing, I remember last time, in order to make the queen happy, he actually asked people to find a folk woman to learn to sing tunes, a prince is a little embarrassed to do these little things, but the father does not feel that she is ashamed, because filial piety comes first."

"Xing'er, today you come to find your father, and your father will reason with you. You are all my children, you have the best education, everything is the best, and you don't know what the suffering of the people is, what the people need help with, you don't know. ”

"But although your fifth brother doesn't know, he is willing to experience the life of the people and find out what the people need, and we are not doing well there, and your fifth brother also proposed a reasonable plan, a solution, Xing'er don't indulge in this for a day, learn more from your fifth brother." The prince picked up a brush and wrote on paper.

The emperor naturally said these words with other meanings.

"Thank you for your father's advice, my son will definitely go to consult the fifth brother." The emperor nodded and looked at Chu Xinghan and asked him to come over. "Look at this painting."

Chu Xinghan looked at it for a while and said: "This painting is strong and powerful, which can reflect the majesty and courage of writing. "The emperor asked Chu Xinghan to look at it again.

Chu Xinghan looked at it and found that there was no problem, and shook his head to the emperor, but the emperor picked up the pair of words and said: "This character obviously has several shortcomings, but you didn't say it, I asked you to say it again, you didn't either, Xing'er, what are you thinking about, what are you worried about, what are you afraid of your father?" ”

"I remember the last time, when I asked your fifth brother to taste a piece of calligraphy, he told the good and bad, and he knew that I wrote it, Xing'er, learn to boldly say what you think in your heart, so that someone knows what you are thinking." The emperor said earnestly.

Chu Xinghan was tempting the emperor, and the emperor was naturally testing him.

Chu Xinghan nodded, and the emperor and Chu Xinghan continued to talk for a while, and the meaning of the words was to praise Chu Yunhui, although they didn't talk about the matter of opposing the prince.

But at this time, it is self-evident that the emperor is optimistic about Chu Yunhui.

In the end, the emperor let Chu Xinghan leave because he still had a compromise to approve. Chu Xinghan and the great eunuch left.

Walking outside the door, the big eunuch looked at Chu Xinghan and said, "The old slave sent the second prince here." "The big eunuch originally wanted to leave, but Chu Xinghan stopped him.

"Father-in-law, I have something to say to you, can you borrow a step to say." The great eunuch nodded and found a secluded place with Chu Xinghan. "It's not the second prince looking for an old slave."

The second prince took out a small box of orbs from his sleeve and handed it to the big eunuch. The chief eunuch hurriedly refused, saying, "Please also ask the second prince to tell me what the so-called is, and I will go back to serve the emperor." ”

"I want my father-in-law to help me, I don't know if my father-in-law is willing." The second prince handed the jewels in his hand to the chief eunuch again, but the chief eunuch still refused.

"Please also ask the second prince to retract what he just said, it's not good for people to hear it." The great eunuch said respectfully. "So, my father-in-law doesn't want to help me, right?"

The big eunuch looked at the second prince embarrassedly, it's really why don't the second prince understand now, the emperor has a fancy to the fifth prince, no matter how hard you work now, it's useless to bribe me, it's impossible.

If I could, I would have been bribed a long time ago, Second Prince, are you not a smart person, a smart person is not so reckless to come to me.

"Father-in-law, you have to think about it, and you will definitely thank your father-in-law after the matter is completed." The second prince said firmly, but the big eunuch shook his head and said, "Second prince, I hope you don't do such stupid things in the future, aren't you afraid of the emperor asking, so the second prince wants to think about it carefully." ”

"I know that my father-in-law will definitely help me, right, please help my father-in-law, I must have my father-in-law's share after the matter is completed." The second prince looked at the big eunuch firmly.

But the chief eunuch shook his head and said: "Second prince, if you still have something to do, you won't bother the second prince, and I hope that the second prince will not do such a stupid thing in the future." ”

After the big eunuch finished speaking, he left, and the second prince was angry and helpless. The second prince smashed the wall angrily, but after thinking about it, he resigned himself to his fate.

He is not convinced why, why is his father optimistic about Chu Yunhui, why Chu Yunhui's mother's family is powerful, why, and he has nothing, this is all God's injustice, why!

The second prince came to Concubine Hua's residence in a hurry, and when she saw her child like this, Concubine Hua hurriedly walked up and asked with concern: "Child, tell your mother what happened, your mother is so worried about your appearance, don't you look like this, okay." ”

Hua Guifei looked at Chu Xinghan worriedly, but Chu Xinghan didn't say anything, Hua Xian Guifei immediately asked the maid to fetch a basin of water, Hua Xian Guifei carefully wiped the dust on Chu Xinghan's hands, and then looked at Chu Xinghan worriedly, Hua Xian Guifei had never seen Chu Xinghan like this, and she didn't have any idea, what was wrong with him.

Concubine Huaxian hugged Chu Xinghan and said: "Child, don't be afraid of everything, the mother concubine will help you, you can do whatever you want the mother to do, as long as the mother can do it, but please don't look like this." ”

Hua Guifei said that tears came out, Chu Xinghan wiped away her tears for Hua Xian Guifei and said: "Mother concubine don't cry, the child will not be like this in the future, don't worry about the mother concubine, I was just thinking about what my father told me, so don't worry about the mother concubine." ”

Chu Xinghan still has some true feelings for his mother!

"Really?" Hua Guifei looked at Chu Xinghan in disbelief, Chu Xinghan nodded and said, "Mother, Xing'er wants to eat the food you cooked, can the mother concubine cook for Xing'er." Concubine Hua immediately nodded in agreement.
