On the second day, the prince knelt on the stone steps outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, insisted on kneeling until almost noon, and fainted again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness has fainted." Pan Hai leaned in front of Emperor Jingming and reported softly.

Emperor Jingming had been ill for a while, his face was yellow, and when he heard the words, he moved his eyelids and said, "Carry it back to the East Palace." ”

Pan Hai walked out of the palace and said in a loud voice: "Send the prince back to the palace." ”

The prince, who was lying on the cold stone steps, quietly moved his eyelids.

This time, he was pretending to be unconscious.

It's good to use cotton pads on your knees, it's not as uncomfortable as yesterday, but you can't stand it when you kneel all the time, so let's fight again tomorrow.

The crown prince was soon carried away by several chamberlains.

Pan Hai turned back.

Emperor Jingming opened his eyes: "The prince went back?" ”

"Yes." Pan Hai leaned over and kneaded his calves for Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming didn't say a word, thinking about his thoughts.

On the third day, everyone was waiting in the hall, and they saw Pan Hai coming over and looking at the prince together.

On the third day, will my father see the crown prince?

The prince couldn't help but be nervous.

Today, my father has not seen him, and he is going to kneel outside.

Pan Hai glanced around at everyone and said, "The emperor called a few princes and princesses in." ”

The prince looked disappointed.

Sure enough, I didn't see him again!

The prince gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the hall.

kneeling and kneeling, he didn't believe that his father made him kneel like this all the time.

King Lu likes to see the prince's jokes the most, and he turned his head to look at the prince walking out, his eyes narrowed, thoughtful.

"What are you looking at, if you don't leave, we'll be left behind." Princess Lu pulled King Lu.

"Uh, let's go." King Lu followed everyone inward, pondering in his heart.

There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between the prince's actions......

Emperor Jingming looked at the sons who poured in, and his expression was dazed.

"As I said, you don't have to come every day."

Everyone said: "It is no longer appropriate for a son (daughter-in-law) not to be able to stay by his father's side to serve the sick, and if he does not come to visit his father, it will be even more unfilial." ”

Emperor Jingming's gaze slowly swept over his sons' faces, and said: "I am very pleased that you can have this heart, I just hope that your brothers can love and help each other, which is the greatest filial piety." ”

The crowd was busy.

King Qi said: "Father, the second brother has been kneeling for three days, and my body may not be able to stand it...... You can dissipate your anger and let the second brother get up. ”

King Lu pouted quietly.

As soon as the father said that brothers should love and help each other, the fourth child interceded for the prince, enough to meet the stitches.

"Yes, father, the stone steps are cold, and if you kneel for a long time, your legs will be ruined......" King Qin followed and persuaded.

Emperor Jingming's expression relaxed.

He was completely discouraged by the prince, which did not mean that he wanted the prince to kneel and waste his legs.

That's it, there is no need for such a stalemate, find an opportunity to make it clear to the prince, let him be an idle prince in the future, this is not a good thing for Da Zhou or this unsuccessful son.

Emperor Jingming made a decision and said to Pan Hai: "Pass the prince in." ”

Seeing Emperor Jingming loosen his mouth, everyone's expressions were subtle.

After kneeling three times, my father softened, and sure enough, in my father's heart, the crown prince was the most important.

Pan Hai walked out of the palace gate and walked towards the crown prince: "Your Highness, the emperor will send you in." ”

The crown prince stood up suddenly: "Father and emperor saw me?" ”

"Your Highness, please."

The prince couldn't wait to walk in, and as soon as he saw Emperor Jingming's face, he knelt down and said excitedly: "My son asks my father for peace." ”

King Lu stared at the crown prince, and the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger.

The moment the prince knelt down just now, he always felt that his knees were weird, as if something was stuffed - King Lu's eyes widened a little, if it weren't for the presence of so many people, he couldn't wait to pat his head.

He said how he felt familiar, he was often punished when he was young, didn't he secretly stuff cotton pads into his knees!

With a cotton mat, he can kneel from morning to sunset.

King Lu has a lot of experience in how to stuff things into his knees without being looked out, and the prince is a little bit in front of him.

Hehe, what would happen if my father found out that the prince had stuffed cotton pads into his knees?

King Lu rubbed his chin and began to think about how to expose the crown prince.

The prince didn't know that he was being targeted by King Lu, and he didn't get up after asking for peace, so he looked at Emperor Jingming pitifully.

Looking at the prince's pitiful appearance, Emperor Jingming couldn't say anything, and said coldly: "Get up." ”

The crown prince hurriedly got up, regardless of everyone being there, and asked, "Father, are you better?" My son can't see you these days, and I'm worried that it's broken. ”

Emperor Jingming said angrily: "I can't die." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and slapped himself: "It's all the son's fault, which makes his father angry." ”

"That's it, you don't have to make any more mistakes in the future." Emperor Jingming said lightly.

He made a decision in his heart that he would no longer treat the prince as an heir, and his mentality in the face of this son was much calmer.

Maybe it's the deep responsibility of love, but now that I'm discouraged, I can calm down.

The prince didn't understand the subtle changes in Emperor Jingming's mind, and he was overjoyed when he heard it.

It's great, my father doesn't care about him, and he finally didn't kneel in vain!

"I'm tired, you all stand down." Emperor Jingming began to drive people away.

"The father and the emperor have a good life and rest, and the son (daughter-in-law) has retired."

King Lu was a little anxious.

It's not possible to leave like this, the prince doesn't have to kneel in the future, won't he let him get by?

King Lu rolled his eyes, deliberately walked beside the prince, and quietly stretched out his legs.

The prince didn't pay attention for a while, and his body fell forward.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, King Lu instantly stepped on the prince's trouser leg, and as the prince fell, the pants were stepped on, but fortunately, there was a coat to cover it, and only half of the leg was exposed.

The scene was silent.

After a while, the youngest King Xiang said, "What's on the knee of the second brother?" ”

The prince fell so badly that when he heard King Xiang say this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly jumped up and put on his pants.

Everyone silently turned their heads and looked at Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming's face was pale, staring at the crown prince.

The crown prince knelt down with a weak leg: "Father, father-"

Didn't my father see it just now?

Emperor Jingming closed his eyes, opened them again, and said in a cold tone: "The crown prince and King Lu stay, you all go out!" ”

Although several princes were very reluctant to miss this excitement, they didn't dare to show it on their faces, and hurriedly retreated.

Only then did Emperor Jingming say: "Take off the prince's pants, and I will see what it is." ”

The crown prince panicked: "Father, father-"

Several chamberlains stepped forward and neatly ripped off the prince's trousers, revealing the cotton cushions tied to his knees.

The prince's eyes darkened, and he had only one thought: this time it's really over!

Emperor Jingming took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to be angry, and said in a non-wavering tone: "Pan Hai, let the prince send him back to the East Palace." ”

"Father, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me-" The prince struggled and shouted, but was still sent out by the chamberlain.

Emperor Jingming glanced at King Lu.

King Lu was frightened, and said with a dry smile: "Father-"

Emperor Jingming pointed to the door: "Kneel down!" ”
