After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The Third Prince quickly lifted his robe and knelt down, "Father... Your son, your son does not know the inside story. Perhaps I was deceived by my brother-in-law!"

"I don't know who is lying between these two!"

The third prince glanced at Hui and the eldest princess.

He could be deceived, and of course his aunt could be deceived too!

Zhou Hui and Song Mingli could both be liars. My father is so busy that he won't investigate this little matter in detail.

At worst, he would get scolded and then apologize to his aunt.

Anyway, this fire cannot burn directly on his head.

"Yes, I didn't believe what Song Mingli said, so I asked someone to check it out." Princess Huihe nodded and said, "Why don't we hear what the person involved has to say?"

The third prince was stunned. The person involved? Who?

The emperor nodded, and he became more and more curious.

It's quite boring to read memorials and government affairs every day.

Such little things can be used to relieve boredom.

"Go ahead." The emperor nodded.

The third prince realized at this moment that something was wrong. It seemed that his aunt was not acting on impulse. The old lady came prepared!

But before he could think of a countermeasure, he saw a slim, charming and beautiful woman walking into the hall gracefully.

She is gentle and charming, as if made of water.

She was dressed in Shu brocade, which was sparkling, with a touch of pearls and jade on her head, looking dignified and generous.

Despite her serious attire, her charming demeanor did not seem frivolous at all.

Her every move, including the way she bowed, was alluring but not beyond the pale.

The Third Prince secretly swallowed his saliva...

The man's instinct made him realize that he seemed to have lost this game.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! My stage name is Xiao Taohong. I am a student of the opera theater. I make a living by singing opera."

As soon as Xiao Taohong opened her mouth, the Third Prince couldn't help but shudder.

I thought she was already stunningly beautiful.

Unexpectedly, she is worthy of being an opera singer. This voice and this accent are her real assets.

Her voice... is so nice.

The emperor also stared at Xiao Taohong for a moment, then he turned and looked at the third prince with a smile.

"You said she threw herself into Zhou Hui's arms, but was rejected by him? And then she planned a honey trap with Song Mingli?"

The third prince: "..."

The emperor laughed, "So Zhou Hui is comparable to Liu Xiahui. When such a beautiful woman threw herself at him, he not only remained calm but also politely declined. He is truly a gentleman with decent behavior!"

The third prince: "..."

What father said... is full of sarcasm. It would be better to just scold him directly, that would be more satisfying!

Xiao Taohong recounted what happened and swore on death that it was Zhou Hui who had forced her away, but Song Mingli, despite being a weak woman, was determined to protect her no matter what.

But Zhou Hui even teased Song Mingli with his dirty words, which were unbearable to hear.

"If I say even a single word of falsehood, I will die in the wilderness without a burial place..."

"Okay!" The emperor frowned and interrupted her, "Why do you need to swear such a vicious oath? This matter is not complicated. What do you think, Third Brother?"

The third prince's forehead was already covered with sweat.

You already know everything, why are you asking me?

"Your son... Your son was deceived by your brother-in-law! I didn't expect him to be such a person!" The third prince said nervously, "When your son returns, I will teach him a lesson."

The emperor snorted.

This son thinks he is stupid.

Being deceived? Would he be willing to take the initiative to pay money to settle the matter with Song Mingli?

She had already paid the money, but she went to the palace to complain. This was to step on Song Mingli and then step on the Song family.

The fourth brother has a good relationship with the Song family. If he can drag the fourth brother into the water, the 20,000 taels will be well spent.

The third brother had a good plan. After all, he thought that Song Mingli could not enter the palace, and Song Mingli would have no way to refute his false accusation.

Although the fourth brother has a bad temper, this matter has nothing to do with him directly.

Even if the Song family could ask the fourth brother for help, by the time he came to his senses, the matter would have been settled.

The emperor smiled but did not scold his son.

He simply said, "I have already chosen to grant you the title of 'King Ping'."

"But now it seems that you, Third Brother, still need more experience."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince looked up in shock and stared at his father in disbelief.

Wha...what?

Is the emperor ready to make him a king?

Is he finally going to be crowned king?

But, but the meat that was about to be fed into my mouth is gone again?

"No... Father! I was wrong! I was so confused!" The third prince wanted to cry but had no tears.

We don't play like this!

Father! Are you kidding me?

Why are you so cruel to your son? !

The third prince left the palace in dismay.

He returned to his house, still feeling dazed.

He seemed to have seen the plaque on the door of his own mansion replaced with the golden words "Prince Ping's Mansion".

When he saw his staff congratulating him and the way his ministers looked at him, he became even more respectful.

Even the arrogant and conceited Prince Jing had to respectfully call him "Brother Prince Ping".

"Master, the princess asks you to come over." The maid beside the princess broke his dream.

The third prince trembled.

Without the title of King Ping, he has not yet been crowned king!

Just one step away!

It's all Zhou Hui's fault! Why did he marry Zhou's daughter? With a brother-in-law like Zhou Hui!

"No!" The third prince was furious and turned to go to the concubine's courtyard.

The Third Prince's wife, Mrs. Zhou, prepared a table full of delicious dishes that he loved.

But the maid only shook her head and replied, "The master refused to come... The master left and went to the concubine's place."

Zhou's face froze, she was shocked and angry.

"My brother just gave him 50,000 taels! How could he be so disrespectful to me!" Zhou was very angry.

Their eldest son, Chu Shilin, came to pay his respects to his mother. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly persuaded his mother to stay.

"Don't be angry, mother. I will go and ask father to come."

Chu Shilin hurried to look for his father.

The third prince was drinking alone in the concubine's courtyard.

Seeing his eldest son coming, the third prince immediately pulled Chu Shilin to sit down, "You know, I'm almost there! I'm almost there to be crowned king!"

"Father has even drafted the title of king for me! It's all because of your uncle! He is so daring! He made Father angry!"

"My enthronement as king will be postponed again! If I am enthroned, you will be the prince of the palace!"

"When you walk around, you look proud. Yang Qian, the young master of the Wang family, and the young master of the Xie family all dare not disrespect you! It's all because of your good uncle!"

Chu Shilin widened his eyes in shock when he heard this.

"What... Father was almost crowned king?! Because of my great uncle, the Royal Grandfather suppressed the matter?"

God knows how much he hopes his father will be crowned king as soon as possible!

In this way, he will be the prince of the royal palace! His father has not yet made him a prince, and he has no face when he is out there with those young masters of noble families!

When Chu Shilin learned the reason why his father did not go to his mother's courtyard, he was even angrier than the third prince.

"It's all my uncle's fault! My mother was neglected! My son can't become the crown prince! My father can't be crowned king! It's all my uncle's fault!"

Chu Shilin ran to Zhou, cursing and crying.

Seeing that her son failed to invite the third prince and kept complaining, Zhou was also very angry.

She quickly sent someone to find out what her elder brother had done that had angered God and the people.

In addition, she asked her father to find out what happened in the palace today.

Why was the third prince scolded?
