Are you stupid?

The last afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the golden tiles of the cornices amidst the swaying flying yarn of the Luoyang Palace Guangsha.As night fell, the sudden lights turned Luoyang Palace into a bright city that never sleeps.

Emperor Taixing and Empress Cui sat together on the Xiaoyao Terrace under the protection of the red walls and green tiles, and the courtiers bowed their heads in the palace full of red gold utensils.

The dancers in Taichung swayed their seductive figures, constantly throwing charms at Emperor Taixing and his courtiers, and treated Empress Cui as nothing, but Empress Cui had a happy smile on her face, as if she was enjoying a comedy.What is rare is that Emperor Taixing's happiness can be seen from the deep grooves in the corners of Taixing's eyes.

If this is pretended, His Majesty's acting skills are too good.

The courtiers were flirting with each other. At first, different guesses gradually tended to favor the prince. Perhaps his brain has really become easier to use a lot-but it is intriguing whether it is "recovery" or "heavenly grace".

Except for a few of Taixing Emperor's straight military officers and family officials who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, "Heaven's Grace" is not impossible, even Wei Yan can't help but suspect that the prince has recovered from his illness recently, and Taixing Emperor deliberately suppressed it. Ken said, just wait until tonight before the banquet to make a noise deliberately, to build up momentum for the prince, and let him wash away his stigma among his courtiers.

Most civil servants know a little bit of medical skills, and the etiology of "dementia" in Chinese medicine is mostly related to "phlegm and Shenqiao" and "stasis in the brain".

The prince bumped his head when he was young!

Could it be that the Second Highness was muddled before because he fell into the water and hurt his head, but some accident happened recently, so the phlegm in his brain melted away, making the prince smarter?

It's not impossible!

If so, it would be a good thing.It's just that I didn't expect that His Majesty has learned to pretend to be mysterious after many years of monarchs and ministers!

The minds of the courtiers couldn't help changing from "waiting for the Prince of Zhou" to "see what kind of tricks His Majesty is playing", and their expressions were a little more frivolous.

This is the first time in seven years that Shenlong officially appeared in front of the courtiers in the main hall of Luoyang Palace. In order to show the precious status of Shenlong, Emperor Taixing specially prepared a dark blue shoulder python robe that made Shenlong look calm.Sure enough, when Shenlong walked into the Xiaoyao Terrace with six accompanying servants, many courtiers looked straight at him.

Emperor Taixing was a handsome gentleman when he was young, and Empress Cui was famous in Beijing when she was not married. Among the children born to the two of them, the married princess Shuhui has the demeanor of Empress Cui when she was young. Beauty; the deceased eldest prince Linde took the lead of his parents and was even better. Although he has not been able to get the canonization of the prince, he has also won many praises among the courtiers for his outstanding appearance; the third prince Xingye has always been seriously ill and skinny. Ordinary people are thin and look like the third prince, and it seems that they cannot escape the evaluation of the second son who is "infiltrating", but the third prince only makes people feel sick and weak because of his beautiful bones.

His Second Highness, Shenlong, used to walk around with Taixing and Empress Cui when he was young, and attended large-scale events, but he has always actively shrunk himself in the shadow of his elder brother, and did not like to show himself.

Although the courtiers also had a vague impression that "the second prince was born the best", but if you want to say what Shenlong looks like, after seven or eight years, it is too difficult for them to remember what the second prince looks like.

The light illuminated the boy's fair face, with a pair of big and round eyes embedded under two softly curved eyebrows.The boy's eyes are clear and straight, and the dark pupils are shining with aura. The slightly raised roots on the bridge of his straight nose combine the fragility brought about by his overly feminine appearance, making his appearance more dignified. His two moderately thick lips are ruddy and plump. Chewing a gentle smile.

The boy has just turned 14 years old, but his stature is not inferior to ordinary people, and he walks all the way to the steps to salute Emperor Taixing and Empress Cui gracefully and calmly.

Who can connect such an outstanding boy with "crazy boy"?

It turns out that the prince is so outstanding!

He was originally born among the brocades, and he is a proud son of heaven, but now it is just for people to see clearly the magnificence that should have been revealed in front of others.

Zhang Xi sighed deeply, and couldn't help saying to Wang Hong beside him, "It's a pity that my daughter is unlucky."

Cui Jia Erlang is indeed good, but compared to the prince, there is still a gap.

Wang Hong comforted, "It's also a good thing to marry the empress's nephew who just won the title. It is said that Master Cui San's family is soft-tempered. If you marry him, you will be the wife of the family. How can you live comfortably?"

Zhang Xi is willing to accept the Cui family's marriage, except that the Cui family is indeed deeply favored by the emperor, and it has a lot to do with the fact that the whole family of Cui San is a loyal person. Send it to Cui's house.But no matter how good Cui Xiaolang is, after seeing the prince, he couldn't help but feel that it would be even better if he could be sent to the palace - even his daughter would be willing to see the prince's current appearance.

Zhang Xi showed hesitation on his face, thinking whether to let his wife bring their daughter into the palace to "encounter" the prince; Wang Hong is indeed his good brother, and he thought of going with Zhang Xi, and he has seriously thought about what reason to use It would not be awkward to let the wife bring the daughter into the palace.

"Shenlong, come here quickly." Empress Cui smiled kindly, beckoning her son to sit in the seat under Emperor Taixing and her, and asked repeatedly whether the wound on Shenlong's back still hurts.

"Mother, the ointment applied by the imperial doctor is very good, it has been cool, and I don't feel the burning pain anymore."

Empress Cui said worriedly: "How can it be true that it doesn't hurt at all, and it will leave scars. You have never suffered from this kind of pain since you were a child."

"That's right, I'll let the courtier pay homage to you soon, go back and rest quickly, don't let the robe wear on the wound." Emperor Taixing immediately assisted, standing on the same front as Empress Cui to dissuade his son from cherishing his body.

Empress Cui is obviously not the only one who is worried.

Believe it or not, Emperor Taixing, as the Son of Heaven, firmly believed that Shenlong's awakening was the result of "ancestral protection".

But who knows how long the ancestors can bless Shenlong, and how powerful is the power of bless?

In order to prevent another accident from throwing Shenlong back to the state of a fool, Emperor Taixing was even more nervous than Empress Cui.

The ministers have pricked up their ears since the appearance of Shenlong, and fixed their eyes on Shenlong even more when they heard the word "injury".

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be watching the Tian family's acting, what a show!

Wei Yan felt depressed, and really couldn't bear to see the three members of Emperor Taixing's family sitting on it, being watched by the courtiers as if they were watching a monkey show. He got up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here. I don't know when the banquet will start?"

It is said to be a "banquet", but before the banquet, the process of the officials meeting the prince is indispensable.

Wei Yan's reminder immediately woke up the patronizing and happy Emperor Taixing. He laughed loudly: "What Ah Yan said is—come on, take a look. This is my second son, Shenlong. In the future, Shenlong will be Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is young and incompetent, so he has to bother you to teach him."

"His Royal Highness is a dragon and a phoenix, His Majesty is too modest."

"With His Majesty's teaching, His Highness will be a generation of Mingjun in the future."

With Wei Yan speaking, the courtiers immediately became active. After worshiping the dragon together, they piled all good words on his head, bragging about the dragon like a god and man descending from the earth. The years of "stupidity" have become the experience of God's will in order to test the dragon.

There is no need for Shenlong to be modest in this kind of occasion, he only needs to smile and raise his head to drink while the courtiers are toasting, and keep saying the panacea phrase of "polite and polite".

Fortunately, there were still a group of wives in the harem waiting for Empress Cui to have a banquet and meet the prince. After being poured for a while, Shenlong's feet fluttered and was supported by the servants, and he followed Empress Cui back to the harem.

After leaving the Xiaoyao Terrace, Shenlong straightened up immediately, turned around and gave Mu Huaiyuan a thumbs up with a smile.

Seeing the interaction between her son and Mu Huaiyuan, Empress Cui felt amused, and twisted Shenlong's ear, "Okay, so you pretended to be drunk, so you just fooled me."

"Oh, the queen mother is merciful. I definitely don't mean to fool the queen mother." Shenlong took a breath, saved his ear from Queen Cui's hands, and quickly explained, "I never drank alcohol when I was a child, and my mother would not let me drink when I was sick. People are coaxing me to drink. Tonight, my father is hosting a banquet. If I can't drink enough to make a fool of myself on the spot, I will waste my father and mother's heart. Then I figured out a way to get someone to go to the dining room to wash the wine brought in front of me. Dui, and pour a lot of strong wine on the front of the inner jacket."

Shenlong tugged at the front of his clothes and showed it to Empress Cui, "Don't blame me, Queen Mother, I don't feel well even if I'm drenched all over."

To find ways to?

Who helped you figure out such a way to hurt your body!

Empress Cui suddenly changed her face, "You know how uncomfortable you are and dare to go out in wet clothes——Mu Huaiyuan, you too, if the dragon is messing around, just let him go."

Mu Huaiyuan did not doubt that Empress Cui could immediately think that he was the one who gave Shenlong an idea. He stepped forward to admit his mistake, but said a few words to protect Shenlong, "Madam, it was my fault that His Highness just recovered from illness. But I thought , His Highness has regained his senses now, and Empress can no longer treat His Highness like a child and protect him like before."

Her son just got sick, and someone told her to stay away from her son?What's the point!

Empress Cui showed an angry look on her face, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "My son-in-law ordered you to accompany Shenlong in the palace. I thought you were a good boy who understands reason, but now you want to drive a wedge between our mother and son."

"Your Majesty appeases your anger. It is for His Highness's benefit that I have spoken to Your Majesty what is inappropriate tonight."

Thinking of Mu Huaiyuan's care for his son when Shenlong was ignorant, Empress Cui barely suppressed her anger, "Say it."

Mu Huaiyuan stood up straight, glanced at Shenlong and Empress Cui's cuddling body, shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness appeared on the Xiaoyao Stage today, and what the ministers saw was a handsome young man with an astonishing complexion and fluent answers. But wait until When I wake up tomorrow, all the courtiers will wonder whether His Highness is 'although it has been delayed for a few years, but it can still be taught' or 'it's just beautiful, and it's actually an embroidered pillow'."

"Your Majesty protects His Highness in everything. When things are done, the courtiers will only praise Your Majesty, and the praise has nothing to do with His Highness; but if things go wrong, His Highness will bear all the bad comments and be humiliated." Longer than a woman hand'."

Empress Cui seemed to have been punched hard, her face was ugly, but she looked at Shenlong who was protected by her side, but let go of her hand and pushed him away.

"Mother?"

"In the past, don't act like a baby to me in the future!" Empress Cui's voice was sharper than ever, she turned her head and walked away quickly.

Night Breeze covered up the woman's red eye sockets.

The author has something to say:

Empress Cui: You should grow up.

Shenlong: No, I'm still a child!Even if he is not a good boy, he can be a bad boy!
