Second, there are still tear stains and even palm marks on his face, and at a glance, he knows who he just quarreled with and was beaten. Who dares to beat the prince?

Thinking about the situation in the palace now, it is most likely that it is self-evident.

He pursed his lips and smiled: "The third prince came to Qianqing Palace, but came to find the emperor?" ”

The third prince stood there at a loss, not knowing whether to answer yes or no, as if there were two villains fighting in their hearts.

One is saying how good the queen mother is to you, how can you hate the queen mother when you are wronged?

The other said that the queen mother was wrong, and if she was wrong, she should be corrected, how could she be favoritism because it was her own mother?

Gao Qishou is the best at looking at people's eyes, and immediately smiled: "It just so happens that the emperor has nothing to do this afternoon, and he is reading a book, the three princes are here, do you want to go in and say hello to the emperor?" ”

yes, it's all here.

The third prince took a deep breath, and his voice was still a little muffled, "Okay." ”

Gao Qishou led the three princes into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the three princes have come to greet you." ”

The emperor was sitting behind the bookcase, I don't know whether to read a book or read an excerpt, the impression of the three princes is that every time he comes to the Qianqing Palace, most of the emperors are like this.

He seems busy and always has a lot of business to attend to.

The third prince said respectfully: "The son has seen his father. ”

The emperor knew that something was wrong when he saw his expression, waved his hand to let Gao Qishou step back, and said, "Sit down, there is tea on the table, pour it yourself." ”

The third prince raised his eyes to look at him, sat down honestly and poured himself a cup of tea.

In such a hot weather, the tea is also hot, and the three princes will drink it, but they feel much calmer, and their stomachs are warm.

The emperor let him sit and drink tea by himself, and ignored him for a long time.

Fortunately, the third prince is also accustomed to the emperor's cold temperament, and feels that it is good for him to sit here alone, accompanied by his father, even if he doesn't speak.

After a while, the emperor also got up and loosened his muscles and bones, and walked towards him, "Such an adult still cries his nose, cries when he cries, and runs all over the palace, for fear that people will not know?" ”

The third prince looked at the emperor stupidly.

It's weird, how did he know he was crying?

Obviously, his tears have been wiped away, and his emotions have calmed down.

The emperor glanced at him, knowing what he was suspicious of, and deliberately did not tell him.

It is a good thing that a son has a sense of reverence for his father, especially in the hierarchical royal family, some things are better if they are not broken.

The third prince snorted, "I lost my temper with the queen mother, and I forgot my feelings for a while and ran out, and my son was rude." ”

"Because of what?"

The third prince paused, not knowing whether to tell the emperor about the content of his quarrel with the queen.

Tell him, will it be bad for the queen mother?

Thinking about it, he looked at the emperor timidly, the emperor's face was calm and his eyes were majestic and caring, and he unconsciously said everything in his heart.

"The queen mother didn't want her sons to play with the eldest brother, saying that she was worried that Concubine Zhao would be unfavorable to her sons. Erchen was unwilling to part with the eldest brother, so the queen mother got angry and slapped Erchen......"

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't look surprised.

The third prince was surprised, "Father already knows?" Then the father doesn't care? ”

The emperor said: "You and Yuanzhi are so old, do you even have to take care of this little thing?" Don't you know how to deal with it, why do you quarrel with the queen? ”

The third prince bowed his head aggrievedly.

He knew what was right and what was wrong, but he didn't know how to convince the queen, he had worked hard, and the queen still felt that he was backlashing, that he was elbowing out, and even gave him a slap.

The emperor said: "Okay, then do you want me to punish the queen to make decisions for you?" ”

"No, no, no, my father doesn't!"

The third prince said worriedly: "The son doesn't want the queen mother to be punished!" Father, the son just wants the queen mother to know that Concubine Zhao will not hurt the son, and the eldest brother will not hurt the son. But the queen mother just didn't listen, why? Why did the queen mother and Concubine Zhao become enemies? ”

The emperor looked at the third prince and did not speak for a while.

These words are changed to the second prince, even the eldest prince does not dare to say it to the emperor, the third prince is still young after all, he doesn't know that his words are enough for the emperor to treat the queen for a big crime.

To sow discord among the royal brothers, even as a queen, this crime cannot afford.

The emperor looked at his innocent appearance, saw that his eyes were full of incomprehension and doubts, and felt more and more sorry for this child.

"You don't have to worry about adult affairs."

After all, he didn't say much, just vaguely covered it.

The third prince lowered his head in frustration, in fact, he also knew that it was impossible for the emperor to tell him the reason, he said himself: "Actually, the child knows." Because the harem concubines want to compete for power and profit, they are afraid that others will rob them of their positions. The queen mother was afraid that Concubine Zhao would steal her place, because Concubine Zhao had a fourth brother and another one in her belly. So the queen mother was afraid, and the queen mother was jealous of Concubine Zhao. ”

He actually saw it very clearly in his heart.

It's just that the more he sees it, the more he knows that he is powerless to change this matter, so he is even more helpless.

The emperor looked at him deeply, and said in his heart that the third prince was not as ignorant as he imagined, although he was a child, after all, he had been impregnated too much in the palace......

The third prince muttered to himself, "But Erchen just wants to study with the eldest prince, kick the juju together, and eat the snacks given by Concubine Zhao together." Why do you want to separate your sons from your eldest brother? ”

The emperor said: "The eldest prince is from the first queen, even if there is no matter of Concubine Zhao, your mother will separate you from the eldest prince sooner or later." There is no way to avoid this for you. ”

The third prince raised his head suddenly.

He said that there was no way to avoid it, did he also feel that he should be separated from the eldest brother?

The third prince said: "Then why can the father and the emperor get along with Uncle Yongwang, and why can't the sons and daughters get along with the eldest brother?" ”

This sentence poked at the secret things in the emperor's heart, he fell into the memories of the past, and the events when he was the prince were vaguely vivid.

The third prince waited expectantly for his answer.

After a long time, the emperor glanced at him, "Do you really want to know?" ”

The third prince nodded, and the emperor said: "You have to know these things sooner or later, but for you now, it may be too early......"

"The first emperor had more than 20 sons, and the first emperor lived a long life, and these more than 20 sons were not young when he was still in power. Everyone has their own ambitions and goals, and they do not hesitate to kill each other, and some even lose both. ”

"Your Uncle Yongwang and I have been like-minded since childhood, and his mother is also a concubine who is not favored in the palace, but because his position is too low and he died very early, he can only rely on me."

"No matter what errand the first emperor gave me, I would pull him along. Over time, he was no longer unknown in the court, and he also had a place, which changed the situation that he was looked down upon in the past. ”
