Chapter 423 Children are debts
There are thousands of people in the world, and countless ideas, but time waits for no one, ticking slowly. Finally, it is the New Year's Eve of the 26th year of Haoyue.
Early in the morning, Meixiang was dug out of her warm bed by Xiao San.
Today she will go to the palace with the Emperor, first to offer sacrifices to heaven and open the ancestral hall, then ride in a carriage around the city to celebrate with the people, and finally attend the year-end banquet held in the palace in the evening.
Although it was her first time participating, Meixiang had watched too many TV dramas in modern times, so she felt weak and tired before the show even started.
"Can I not go?" He muttered to himself, refusing to open his eyes.
Xiao San couldn't help but laugh. How long had it been since she saw the young lady being coquettish and staying in bed? Just as she was about to coax her a few more times, the door was pushed open, and then Aunt Feng came in with a tray full of gorgeous clothes.
Now she has been promoted to the highest-ranking maid in the palace. However, there is only one master in the harem, the Queen, so she has the free time to care about Meixiang.
"Young lady, are you not up yet?" Nanny Feng glanced at Xiao San, who had a helpless expression on her face, and asked softly with a faint smile.
Xiao San shook her head, turned around and pouted at the quilt that was already curled up into a ball on the bed.
Aunt Feng approached the bedside and gently shook Meixiang with her hand: "Young Miss, get up quickly, or it will be too late."
"Mammy," he rubbed his body against Mammy Feng twice through the quilt, like a lazy kitten, making people feel completely soft-hearted.
"Okay, after you're done with these two busy days, you can take a good rest, be good." As he said this, he half stepped away and let Meixiang sit up and get dressed.
This was a habit she had developed since childhood. Although Meixiang had always been surrounded by servants, she would never ask others to do things that she could do herself. She would never act like a spoiled brat or deliberately make things difficult for the servants.
Meixiang finally woke up after taking a nice hot bath. Looking at the pile of clothes on the tray, she suddenly felt much heavier.
She wrinkled her nose, knowing that she couldn't escape, but still tried her best to get some benefits for herself: "Mammy, can I wear these clothes later? They are too much, and it's not convenient to walk."
Faced with the soft and tender little girl, Aunt Feng could only sigh secretly and compromise again, "Then you must time it well and don't miss the auspicious time."
He turned around and solemnly instructed Xiao San, "You must take good care of the lady's clothes. If there is any mistake, neither you nor I can take the responsibility."
So on this day, everyone saw the eldest princess's personal maid carrying a huge cloth bag on her arm, which was bulging and she never let it go even when she went to the toilet.
This caused all kinds of speculation among people, and everyone gathered in groups of three or five to discuss it.
The King and the Empress stayed together in the Princess's Mansion last night. After experiencing the bustling world of fireworks firsthand, they were unwilling to return to the cold and lonely huge palace.
The two had just sat down and were about to confirm the schedule for today's activities when a young eunuch announced from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Second Prince is asking to see you outside the palace."
The emperor was stunned, wondering what important matter this second brother had come here for at this time. He glanced at his father who was sitting opposite him and decided to let him in to see what the matter was. "Please ask him to come in."
"Greetings, Father and Brother." The Second Prince took a look at the indescribable warmth between the two people holding tea bowls in front of him, and felt a surge of indignation in his heart, as if he was superfluous here.
Wang Huang looked up at him without saying anything. Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly smiled to ease the embarrassment: "Second brother, you came at the right time. How about trying this tea?"
"No need for tea," the Second Prince sneered in his heart and instinctively wanted to respond, but thinking of the purpose of coming here today, he patiently continued, "I came here today to ask for a favor."
"Oh, what has made my brother so anxious that he can't even wait until the New Year to open the court?"
“I heard that the ancestral hall will be opened today to offer a jade butterfly to the eldest princess, so…” He raised his head and glanced at the slightly gloomy face of the emperor, and his heart trembled involuntarily.
But thinking of Madam Yan's pretty face with tears in her eyes, he gritted his teeth and continued, "It's better not to bother two masters with one thing. It just so happens that today we can handle the matter of my third son going to Yudie together."
As the Second Prince finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned cold, and even the emperor could no longer maintain his smiling face.
Today is the day when Princess Haoyue returns to her ancestral home, and it also happens to be New Year's Eve. I never expected that this second brother would come to trouble everyone for the illegitimate son born by a woman who is not even a concubine.
Looking at the Second Prince more closely, he had dark circles under his eyes, a swollen face, and his clothes were hanging loosely on his body. After just a few words, he was already sweating profusely and his body began to stagger.
Apparently, all that was said last night fell on deaf ears.
The previous generation was still alive, and the matter involved his own brothers and descendants. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the emperor picked up the tea bowl at hand again.
Well, this batch of tea bowls are well fired. The bowl blanks are round and the color is delicate. The patterns on them are also good, with rich flowers. They are very good.
"Hmph, second son," Wang Huang stared at his second son and sighed, "Do you know what day it is today? Have you ever thought about why I have never agreed to that man's request to sleep with the Royal Jade Butterfly?"
What day could it be? Isn't it just New Year's Eve?
Why don't you nod? Isn't it because you don't like him?
Looking at his son's stubborn and angry expression, Wang Huang couldn't help but sigh again. How could he raise such a confused and self-righteous son? !
"Go back to your house and think carefully about my question just now, then come back to me!" Wang Huang couldn't help but roar.
"What about today's Jade Butterfly event?"
"roll!"
The second prince, who was kicked out in a dusty state, and the third prince, who came hurriedly, met face to face at the door. One was scolded yesterday, and the other was kicked out today.
The Third Prince was quite surprised to see the Second Brother at this time and place. Seeing that his face was extremely ugly, he asked curiously, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmph!" He glanced sideways at his younger brother who had been against him all day long. His mood became increasingly bad. He snorted coldly and walked away, swinging his sleeves.
"This, this, this..."
Turning his head to look at the Second Prince walking away, he wondered who had provoked him again? Was he scolded? Was his father in a bad mood now? The Third Prince turned his head to look inside the door, wondering in his heart.
He met the gaze of the young eunuch standing at the door, and his heart sank. Since he was already standing here, he had to go in whether he wanted to or not. He had no choice.
"The Second Prince requests an audience,"
Hearing the announcement, Wang Huang's body stiffened, "Let him in."
"Greetings to the Emperor, Father and Brother."
Wang Huang's body stiffened again. These two brothers even have the same greeting?
The emperor pretended not to notice his father's strange behavior and said with a smile, "Third brother, you have come at the right time. How about trying this tea?"
This time, Wang Huang couldn't help but suspect that these three brothers were deliberately trying to piss him off. What sin had they committed? !
"Thank you, my Royal Highness. I will respectfully obey your command and ask for a glass of water."
After hearing these words, Wang Huang heaved a long sigh of relief and thought to himself with self-mockery: The words used in the conversation are finally different!
Half a cup of tea later, the Third Prince saw that the Emperor's expression had eased a little, and finally explained his purpose: "Father, I have already taught Li a lesson for his impoliteness yesterday."
"It was because I neglected to teach my children that a disaster almost occurred. I now know that I was wrong."
"Hmph," Wang Huang snorted coldly in response.
The Third Prince touched his nose and continued, "I have already given the order to move the children out of the inner courtyard. After the new year, I will hire new teachers to teach them."
Hearing this, Wang Huang raised his head and looked at him. After a while, he replied in a deep voice, "It's not that children can't grow up in women's hands, but as the head of the family, you have to be aware of their abilities."
He sighed secretly, as if he saw someone through the Third Prince, and his mood became more and more depressed: "If they don't have this awareness, the child will be destroyed in their hands without knowing it, and the consequences will be..."
