Chapter 228: Brothers Together
What she said was euphemistic, in fact, she agreed with Su Youyi's words to punish the eldest prince and the second prince.
The third prince saw that the emperor's face was loose, and it seemed to be quite . went in, and hurriedly said: "Father, you want to punish the eldest brother and his son!" β
The queen hurriedly glanced at him, but unfortunately it was too late.
The emperor snorted lightly, "Since the three princes and the elder brother are so united, then I will let the three of you brothers know what it means to be united, and punish them together." Someoneβ"
Gao Qishou took a few little eunuchs into the hall, and the emperor said: "Send the three of them to the school, if you don't finish copying the Analects tonight, you are not allowed to eat or sleep." β
Su Youyi calculated roughly in her heart, there are only about 20 Analects, and she will definitely be able to copy them overnight.
The emperor's punishment is not heavy, the big deal is not to eat all night and not sleep. Therefore, she did not intercede and let the emperor dispose of it.
The queen's complexion changed suddenly, and she felt that the emperor's punishment was too severe.
"Your Majesty, the third prince is young and frail, and I'm afraid I can't stand it when I'm hungry and copying books all night!"
As soon as the queen said this, Concubine Yan subconsciously looked at Su Youyi.
She didn't know much about the Analects, but Su Youyi didn't intercede for the eldest prince, so it can be seen that the content of this book should not be much, and it is not difficult to copy it overnight.
The queen looked like she was going to rip out her heart and liver, lest the third prince be wronged.
Seeing this, the emperor frowned slightly, "Empress, are you dissatisfied with the way I discipline the prince of the pope?" β
The emperor said such a thing is the limit, he will not directly reprimand the queen in public should not be obstructed, the queen was shocked when she heard this, and tried to calm her emotions.
"The concubines don't dare, everything obeys the emperor's orders."
The emperor took the three princes down, Gao Qishou and others.
When leaving, the third prince still had a smile on his face, and seemed to be happy to be punished with the eldest prince.
And the second prince frowned and looked puzzled, I don't know if he thinks this punishment is not fair, or if he has other ideas.
Su Youyi glanced at him more, and vaguely felt that his actions seemed to have some purpose. However, judging by his expression, the emperor's disposition did not allow him to achieve such a goal.
After the three princes left, Xue Taifu was admonished by the emperor twice, and Yan Concubine was also told to take good care of the second prince, especially not to let the imperial doctor delay changing the dressing for his eyes.
Everyone left the Qianqing Palace together, and Su Youyi saw the queen's worried appearance, so she took the initiative to explain: "Queen Mother, the Analects is less than 20,000 words, but it is not difficult to copy. If it's fast, you can finish it in the middle of the night, and you can go back to sleep for a while. Don't worry, the concubine thinks that the third prince has the ability to copy it. β
"Really?"
Although the queen doesn't know how to write and ink, she still has done things like copying Buddhist scriptures, and if she wants to copy 20,000 words, it is not difficult or easy.
After all, the third prince was only seven years old, and she was still a little worried.
Su Youyi said: "The concubine went to see quietly in the evening, the emperor allowed me to visit the eldest prince at any time, and he didn't say that he was not allowed to visit tonight, so it didn't hurt to come." β
She said, leaning into the queen's ear and lowering her voice, "The concubine will try to bring some snacks to the children, so that the three princes will not be starved, the mother can rest assured now, right?" β
The queen glanced at her gratefully, and then she was relieved, "Then it's hard for you." β
Su Youyi shook her head, "This is what a concubine should be." β
Back to Changchun. On the sedan chair in the palace, Cui Shao looked at the queen's face, and guessed what Su Youyi whispered to her, "Queen Mother, since Concubine Zhao promised to go and see, she will definitely not let the third prince have anything to do, why are you still sullen?" β
The queen smiled, "Bengong just remembered what Concubine Hui said when she came to Bengong a few days ago, and suddenly felt ridiculous." The palace was suspicious of Concubine Zhao because of Concubine Hui's provocation, and in all fairness, Concubine Zhao had never treated the palace with any disrespect. She has always tried her best in the affairs of the third prince, what reason does this palace have to suspect her? β
I think that the third prince was weak and fat, but Su Youyi proposed a way to make the third prince as healthy and safe as he is now.
The queen said: "Look at the way the eldest prince defends the three princes, as if they are brothers. The eldest prince has always been indifferent to the palace, and isn't it good to the third prince that Zhao Concubine has taught him well? In the past, when Zhao Concubine didn't come, when did the eldest prince take the third prince to play? β
Cui Shao also said: "Yes, the slave maid heard about this in the palace, and her heart was really moved. In the final analysis, this matter is all caused by the second prince, and the eldest prince is not wrong, he is just holding grievances for our third prince. But the emperor punished them all, and the second prince was cheaper! β
The queen has a knot in her heart for the late Li family, and naturally she has no kindness to the Li family's children.
Unexpectedly, the second prince not only didn't know how to converge, but also dared to beat the third prince, the queen didn't say anything on the surface, but Cui shook it clearly, she must have wanted to tear the second prince's heart.
Sure enough, hearing the second prince, the queen sneered.
"The crooked things are getting bigger and more like his mother. It is strange to say that the dragon gives birth to nine sons differently, and the dragon is still a dragon, but the things that give birth to children are different from those of dragons, and the children born are naturally different. I have to say that the first queen is worthy of being the first queen, although she is gone, the character of the eldest prince is still so likable. And the second prince ...... I don't know if I will be the same as the Li family when I grow up. β
Cui shook his smile and said: "Niangniang is relieved, now the second prince is the child of Yan Concubine, not the Li family." If the mother is unhappy, why don't you ask Yan Concubine Niangniang to help? β
Concubine Yan, who returned to Zhongcui Palace from Qianqing Palace, suddenly sneezed.
She wrapped her cloak tightly and walked towards the hall, and suddenly saw Jiang Guiren wandering in the courtyard, as if she was anxious to inquire about the affairs of several princes.
It's not interesting for Concubine Yan to live alone, since Jiang Guiren lives in the same palace with her, she sometimes says a few words to Jiang Guiren when she is happy.
"It's so cold outside, just stand in the wind, and don't find out the news of the eldest prince and get a cold, how can it be good?"
Yan Concubine shouted outside through the window, although her tone was sneering after all, it was a good intention, Jiang Guiren thought about it and came into the hall and saluted her.
"Concubine Yan is back, is the second prince okay?"
Concubine Yan picked up the teacup, "It's okay, the children are playing around, they are all the emperor's own sons, how can the emperor let them have trouble?" β
This is not bad, but what Jiang Guiren wants to know is not this.
She said again: "I heard that the eldest prince beat the second prince even more in the eyes, did the emperor punish the eldest prince?" β
The corners of Yan Concubine's lips hidden under the tea cup moved, and she smiled secretly in her heart, until now, Jiang Guiren is still coveting the eldest prince, and he still refuses to give up.
The eldest prince is such a fragrant glutton, only Su Youyi dares to directly say something that will be punished by the emperor.
However, the eldest prince still looks humbly taught, and it seems that no matter what Su Youyi says, he can be sure that she is for his good.
Thinking of this, she put down the teacup, "Yes, the eyes of the second prince are blue." However, in the end, it was the second prince who pushed the third prince first, and the eldest prince would make a move. Tell me, isn't the relationship between children complicated? β
Jiang Guiren echoed a few words, and said, "Then how are they now?" β
"Now they're all back to school, and they're copying books. However, the palace was still not very happy to see the emperor's expression, probably thinking that a few of us didn't bring the princes well. β
How many of them?
Jiang Guiren quickly realized that the third prince was born to the queen, the second prince was the adopted son of Yan Concubine, and the eldest prince was the one who was ......
Naturally, it's Su Youyi, right?
