The next day, the Royal Palace.

The middle-aged emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, sat straight on the dragon chair at the front of the main hall, looking down on the ministers below, his face full of majesty.

"Do you have anything to do with the Qing family?" After listening to the government affairs for nearly an hour, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows with undisguised exhaustion in his eyes, and he asked.

"Your Majesty," just when he thought that everything was said and that he could retire from the court, a minister stood up on the side, "The minister has something to do." ”

"What?"

"A few days ago, I heard that the prince contradicted the queen mother because of some trivial matters, and the ministers thought that there was something wrong with this matter!" The minister slowly walked to the center of the hall and stood up, arching his hand,

"The Queen Mother is the princess's mother, even if the Queen Mother did something wrong, the prince shouldn't be so disrespectful to her old man!"

Hearing this, the emperor's brows above furrowed slightly, and he set his eyes on Xing Tianze.

Xing Tianze's face was so good that he couldn't see anything at this time, but he just listened expressionlessly and didn't speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty," once someone proposed it at this time, there were ministers on the side who immediately stood up and echoed it, and at first glance, it was a good collusion, "The minister thinks that the fifth prince is too disrespectful to the queen mother!" ”

On the surface, he said it implicitly, but in fact, he was saying that he had no respect for his elders and no queen mother in his eyes.

Although the ministers who spoke just now had the courage to impeach Tianze, they didn't dare to say too much, after all, they were still afraid of him in their hearts.

But some people who were deliberately against him didn't have so much scruples when they spoke, and said bluntly: "The minister seconded the proposal, the approach of the five princes is really disrespectful, and they treat their mothers so disrespectfully, and I don't know what they will do in the future!" ”

Those ministers are talking word by word, and the more they talk, the more excessive they become, from the initial disrespect for the elders directly to the later wolf ambitions......

Xing Tianze listened, there was no excessive expression on his face, but his heart was cold.

Some people are like that, the more angry they are, the calmer they appear to be.

The emperor on the side listened, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, plus he wanted to calm down the anger of the masses, and also reprimanded Xing Tianze a few words, and then said,

"Old Five, you have indeed done too much this time, go back and admit your mistake to your mother, and you must reflect on it when you go back, if there is a next time, you will never be spared!"

"Brother I understand." Xing Tianze bowed, and he didn't see any excessive expression on his face, but he couldn't help but reveal a chill in his heart.

……

The people in the palace didn't know what happened to their prince, only that he had never looked better since he came back from the palace.

The master was in a bad mood, and even their group of minions were frightened, but although they were puzzled, no one dared to touch the moldy head, saving them from trouble.

After a morning, seeing that the prince still didn't feel any better, and didn't seem to have any intention of speaking at all, the housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, and turned around and ran to the princess for help.

"Niangniang, something is wrong!" Before anyone heard his voice, Tao Mingxi was sitting on a chair drinking tea leisurely and reading a book.

Frightened by the sudden male voice, Tao Mingxi almost bounced up from the chair, and when he saw that the person who came was the housekeeper, he felt helpless in his heart: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Lord Wang, he doesn't know what's going on, he hasn't looked very good since he came back in the morning, which has made everyone in the palace panic, Niangniang, hurry up and take a look!"

The butler said hurriedly, because he ran too quickly when he came, and now he was panting when he spoke.

"Feeling bad?" Tao Mingxi's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he was thinking in his heart, what did that man have to do with her if he was in a bad mood? Do you want her to see it?

What if it is affected by the time?

Thinking in his heart, Tao Mingxi directly refused: "The prince probably encountered something uncomfortable in the court, and now he can only be left alone to calm down, it is really inappropriate for a woman in the palace to ask, after all, women in the harem are not allowed to do politics." ”

Tao Mingxi said confidently, those reasons are a bunch of them.

The housekeeper wiped his sweat, thinking in his heart that if he didn't want to go, he didn't want to go, where did he come up with so many excuses?

It's just that the real situation now is that if even Tao Mingxi, the biggest person in the palace except for the king, refuses to help, then they are really helpless!

"Niangniang, so far, you are the only one left in the palace who can persuade the prince, if you refuse to help, the prince may do something because of losing his mind!"

Thinking about it, the housekeeper said stubbornly, he didn't want to be busy with this, but when he thought of Xing Tianze's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, thinking that it was better to solve the matter quickly.

"It's not a question of whether the palace will help or not, it's just that the palace really has no way, and the prince won't necessarily listen to the palace's opinion." Tao Mingxi said helplessly, and couldn't help but complain in his heart about why Xing Tianze had so many things to do, even if he was in a bad mood, he had to burden the entire palace and her.

"Niangniang, now that the prince is so pampered with you, if you are willing to come forward, the prince's mood will definitely improve." The butler continued, in a reassuring tone.

Auntie, if she doesn't help again, maybe the prince will be angry and tear down the entire palace!

"This ......"

Tao Mingxi was a little embarrassed, this housekeeper was so eloquent, he didn't know what reason to refute.

It would be a waste to let a talent like him be a little butler in this dynasty, if it were in modern times, he would definitely be a barrister who can speak well!

"Niangniang, the hope of the three or four hundred people in the entire palace is all in you." The housekeeper said earnestly, and his face changed when he said this, and he sighed: "In any case, you are also the prince's concubine, if you refuse to come forward, who else in the palace can persuade the prince?" ”

Tao Mingxi was a little embarrassed when the other party said this, why did she suddenly have a feeling that she would be guilty if she didn't agree to the other party......

Is it a delusion?

"Mother, the slave knelt down for you." Seeing that Tao Mingxi's face had already appeared a trace of emotion, the housekeeper made persistent efforts when he saw this, and wanted to kneel down as he opened the hem of his clothes.

Tao Mingxi has a modern soul living in his body, and what he has advocated since he was a child is that everyone is equal, but he can't stand an old man kneeling in front of him, so he has to promise to come down: "Don't kneel!" I promised. ”
