Chapter 11:-for-tat (Part II)
"Hah! In the eyes of the crown prince, only the daughter of the queen mother can be called the princess of the Tang Dynasty! Everyone else is just a vain outsider! Huh, Jingjing? Just listening to it, I think this word is so vulgar. "The prince showed no mercy his hatred for me.
Tears were already rolling in my eyes, even though I kept telling myself that I must not cry. But I really don't know what to do, and now even Mingda can't help me.
The King of Wei looked at me with ill will, and now he must be waiting to see my embarrassment!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why embarrass my sisters. Although Changshan's bloodline is not as noble as ours, it is always the blood of his father. Your Highness made Mingda almost cry! Unexpectedly, King Wei came to the rescue at this time. It's just that his fluttering words always make me feel his sincerity. I really don't know what he really thinks in his heart at this time.
King Wei's words immediately attracted the crown prince's spearhead. "Tai, do you still have me, the prince, this brother in your eyes? This is true today in the court, and it is true now! ”
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are very reasonable, then the younger brother will naturally fully support it. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now had an opinion above the court, and the younger brother really didn't dare to agree, so that's why..."
"Enough! If there is a rebellion among the people in Shu, the imperial court should send troops to pacify it. You and I did not reflect the unity of brothers in the court, and the result gave King Wu an opportunity to take advantage of! The crown prince was already slightly angry.
King Wei retorted unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong. The reason for the Shuzhong riots was the lack of food caused by natural disasters, which led to the riots of hungry people. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know the truth that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light? As long as the imperial court opened a warehouse for disaster relief, it could defuse the riot without a single soldier. ”
Of course, Prince Ben knows this. But the imperial court can't blindly curry favor with the people and show weakness, but should be both gracious and powerful! And you blindly oppose this prince above the court, it is really ill-intentioned! The crown prince looked at Wei Wangtai aggressively. For a moment, the side hall fell silent, filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Tsuneyama!" Suddenly, King Jin broke the deadlock.
I was taken aback because it was me who was called by King Jin.
"This king wants to say, Changshan, what's on your face?" King Jin said solemnly and motioned for me to check the right side of my face.
I blushed with embarrassment and immediately put down my chopsticks and touched the right side of my face with my hand to check for foreign objects on my face.
When I did this, the prince's contempt for me was even greater, but the king of Wei looked at me and laughed inexplicably.
"Jingjing!" Just when I was in a daze, Mingda grabbed my right hand, "Don't do it again, the ink on your hand has gotten on your face, I'll take you to wash your face." After speaking, Mingda stood up and bowed to the prince: "His Royal Highness the prince, please allow the ministers to retire." ”
I felt embarrassed, and I hurriedly told the prince to leave.
Mingda took my hand and walked until he walked out of the range of the Chongwen Pavilion, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, I finally escaped." ”
"Mingda, you and Chang Shan are walking really fast!" Behind him came the voice of King Jin.
I puffed and snorted, and I did not salute him. I have realized that the reason I made a fool of myself in front of everyone just now was because of him. Unexpectedly, the daughters of the eldest grandson queen are all mild-mannered, but the sons are so unkind and have eccentric personalities.
Seeing that I was cold to King Jin, Mingda smiled: "Jingjing, although the ninth brother shouldn't play tricks on you like this, we were able to successfully escape from the eldest brother and the fourth brother, thanks to the ninth brother." ”
"Chang Shan, this king only thinks about how to get rid of the prince and the king of Wei, but he makes you ugly in public, and this king apologizes to you." King Jin actually really bent down to me.
So that's it! Looking at King Jin who is full of sincerity to apologize to me, how can I really be angry with him? We were able to escape from the Chongwen Pavilion full of gunpowder, and we no longer had to endure the tension between the crown prince and the king of Wei, and we really had to thank the king of Jin for his urgency. Anyway, I don't have a good impression of the prince, and I don't care about being ugly one more time. I hurriedly returned the salute to King Jin: "Chang Shan doesn't dare to be." ”
"If so, can I call you Jingjing? You can also call me Brother Nine like Mingda. "I smiled slightly in the Jin Dynasty, without a trace of pretentiousness.
"Yes, Brother Jiu!" Of course, I would like to have a humble and easy brother to get along with.
"Okay, Brother Jiu, I have to take Jingjing to clean it quickly." After Mingda finished speaking, he pulled me and ran to her house.
