Chapter 149: Who Moved the True Heart First?
The emperor has not yet promised Xiao Yuchen.
"The prince is just an inherited identity, and he even wants to stamp the canonization document of the jade seal?"
The emperor waved his hand, "Tell him to retire, don't look for trouble." Aren't he and Yu'er eye-catching enough? There are no other brothers, I want him! ”
Gonggong Gao withdrew from the emperor's side.
Xiao Yuchen was kneeling on the white marble ground outside the hall.
In fact, there are not many times when he is so honest and upright on his knees.
Suddenly kneeling for such a long time, his knees resting on the hard ground also hurt a lot, but he didn't move.
This long kneeling is much more dignified than the last time he knelt for sin.
"His Royal Highness King Huai pleaded like this, it is really unnecessary. Whose eldest son doesn't inherit the title? This is all conventional, so why do you need to ask for canonization? ”
Gao Gonggong smiled, "Not to mention that the other brothers don't have it, the Holy Master gave it to you, will it make the Holy Lord embarrassed."
"Let's just say that you ask for this, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Xiao Yuchen raised his head slowly, "If others didn't suspect Yu'er and didn't say this unpleasant thing to Yu'er, this king specially came to ask for a decree, and it is true that there are no three hundred taels of silver here."
"But now, the eldest sister, Princess Lanyue, in front of me, and the queen mother in front of the Queen Mother, Wen Jin, and Yu'er, directly questioned ......
"If I don't ask for a decree again, how can this king, as a man, as a husband and father, protect their mother and son from slander? Not to be slandered?
"Back then, it was the king's impulse, and the king did not accept his father's decision...... It's a willful thing. It is the king who deserves to be punished, not their mother and son! ”
After Xiao Yuchen finished speaking, he kowtowed in the direction of the door of the imperial study, and his face fell to the ground.
He raised his voice and said, "Father, the son knows that he is wrong...... Erchen was resentful of you and resentful of Wen Jin......
"Now the son wants to change, be a responsible father, and ask his father to be fulfilled!"
He has a loud voice, and he is infused with internal strength.
The emperor also heard it clearly in the huge imperial study.
Not only did he hear it clearly, but even the guards around the imperial study and the patrolling soldiers heard it.
Everyone looked at each other...... King Huai admits his mistake? And with such a humble attitude?
Is this still the arrogant King Huai?
Gonggong Gao persuaded him not to move, so he had to retreat into the palace.
When he came to the emperor, he was about to speak, but he saw that the emperor was holding a pen and had not left it down.
The tip of the pen was filled with ink, and it hung in the air......
It seems that the emperor has been stunned here for a while.
Click, the ink fell on the fold.
Only then did the emperor come back to his senses, "He finally ...... Spoken. ”
There was an indescribable relief on the emperor's face...... It's like a case that has been hanging for a long time has finally settled.
It's more like a knot in my heart, which has been tied for a long time and tightened, and suddenly loosens.
"King Huai regretted it and admitted his mistake." Gao Gonggong said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Huai can say this in public, he must have thoroughly understood the emperor's decision back then. ”
The emperor nodded slightly, "Raising a child knows the kindness of his parents." He became a father himself, and only then did he know that he was thinking about his own children. What I did for my father was already the best choice at that time. ”
Gonggong Gao looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor's eyes were slightly red.
"What King Huai Asks ......"
"Hmph, I can't ask for it, and I'll agree to him!"
The emperor was also arrogant, "When I got married, how long did he throw off his face?"
"When he saluted me, he was submissive on the surface, and his unruly disobedience was in his bones! Do you think I can't see it?
"Now that you know you regret it? Know that he is distressed about his son? Didn't I think about my son back then?
"Hmph, hang him!"
Gao Gonggong smiled and stepped aside.
The emperor said the toughest words, but in fact, the old father's heart had already been moved by love and softened into water.
The emperor finished approving a stack of folds, and his eyes were a little sour.
Gao Gonggong observed his words and immediately stepped forward and said, "The emperor will rest for a while?" Walking under the porch? ”
The Emperor glanced at him, "I don't know what you're thinking?" As soon as I go out, don't I see King Huai? ”
Although he reprimanded, Gao Gonggong was not afraid.
Gao Gonggong smiled: "Although the emperor can't see it, he must be worried about it in his heart." ”
"Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, I don't tell him to kneel for a while, it's hard to understand the anger in my heart!" The Emperor snorted softly.
Gao Gonggong whispered: "The emperor is a loving father, you are worried that you will easily grant King Huai's request, and you will attract the envy of your brother to King Huai."
"Where are you punishing King Huai? You have thought of all the way back for Your Highness. ”
When the emperor heard this, he paused.
His eyes were slightly red, and after a long time, he knocked on Gonggong Gao's head and laughed softly, "Old fox! ”
The emperor didn't leave the palace, Xu was afraid of seeing Xiao Yuchen, so he couldn't help but call him up and grant him everything he wanted.
His heart has hardened all his life, but his youngest son frequently capsized.
The emperor simply lay down on the soft couch to rest.
There is lotus fragrance in the hall, refreshing people's hearts.
The emperor fell asleep unconsciously.
Not only the emperor, but even the palace people who were waiting in the palace, smelling the lotus incense, leaned on the palace pillar and squinted for a while.
Clicking lightning, rumbling thunder...... Heavy rain poured down.
……
Hailing Palace.
Wei Yilan was startled by the huge lightning and thunder, and the tea bowl in her hand fell to the ground.
"Is King Huai still kneeling in front of the door of the imperial study?" Wei Yilan asked in a low voice.
The eunuch who came outside bowed and replied, "Yes, when the villain came, he was still kneeling......"
"That's not right...... Wei Yilan muttered to herself, "When others question, he should be more suspicious......
"Didn't you say that there was no red...... Could it be that the grandmother of Huaiwangfu deceived me? How could he kneel and ask for the will?
"I'm afraid this thunder and lightning is a heavy rain."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "whoosh" and a heavy rain.
The rain curtain is like weaving, splashing water vapor misty.
As far as people can see, but a little outside the corridor, and then far away it is separated by a rain curtain, and nothing can be seen clearly.
"If he can't afford to kneel down in such a heavy rain, just to correct the names of Wen Jin and her son......
"I'm afraid he's moved to the bottom line."
Wei Yilan looked at the rain curtain outside the door, slightly distracted.
Her hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help but tighten, and the newly embroidered handkerchief immediately became crumpled.
……
The Imperial Study.
"Heh......" The emperor took a sharp breath and woke up.
He looked out the window in a daze, "It's raining?" Why did I fall asleep? Is it all dark? ”
"Back to the Holy Shrine, it's almost dusk, and it's not dark yet, but the rain is too strong, and the sky is dark." Father-in-law Gao immediately stepped forward and asked people to take the lamp.
The emperor was confused for a while, "King Huai has gone back, right?" ”
Gao Gonggong opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.
The emperor was suddenly startled, "Chen'er is still kneeling outside?" This tone is obviously unbelievable, and I don't want to believe it.
The emperor didn't even put on his shoes, so he got up and hurried out of the hall.
The rain poured down, and the rain hit the ground, splashing layers of mist.
There was a figure, kneeling straight on the wet white marble ground in front of the imperial study.
The mist enveloped him, but he did not move.
The rain fell on his head, and on him, his hair pressed against his cheeks, and his clothes pressed against his body......
As soon as the cold wind blew, the palace people under the palace corridor couldn't help but shiver.
He knelt straight, but he didn't realize it.
