The best ring

"From last night to today at least, in this short period of time, a piece of news spread throughout Yanyang City. Even in my palace, people are talking about it." The old emperor continued: "I believe you have all heard that this matter is about me making the third prince the crown prince."

The old emperor looked around at everyone. He was condescending and took in everyone's expressions.

The old emperor continued: "I hereby declare that the matter about me making the third prince the crown prince is false and a rumor!"

Plop!

The third prince suddenly knelt down, with a grateful expression on his face, and said, "Thank you very much for your father's trust. I will definitely abide by my duty, fulfill my responsibilities as a prince, and take good care of all my brothers and sisters. Help my father handle political affairs, worry about my father, my son..."

Phew!

The eldest prince looked at the third prince who was eager to show his loyalty and finally couldn't help but laugh.

Then, in the main hall, there were several more suppressed laughters. Most of these laughters came from the mouths of the princes. There were also ministers who did not hold back their laughter. After realizing that something was wrong, they immediately covered it up. He opened his mouth, and his face turned red instantly. As for the other ministers, although they did not smile, their faces also had various expressions. If the old emperor was not still there, they would probably be unable to bear it.

The third prince looked at the eldest prince in confusion, and then at the others, wondering what they were laughing at. Are they happy for themselves?

It can't be.

Even if the ministers showed "goodwill" smiles in order to please themselves, the future king of a country, the eldest prince and others should not be happy. They cannot willingly give up their position as prince.

The third prince was full of doubts. He turned to look at his father, only to find that his father's face was extremely ugly, with a gloomy expression that showed hatred for iron.

Father, what's going on?

Why is there such an expression? Is it because my statement is not sincere enough?

"That's enough!" The old emperor finally couldn't help but said: "Lao San, do you know what I just said?"

"Father, didn't you just announce that you would officially crown me the prince?" Zhao Lun asked the old emperor with some confusion.

"Puff"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"I'm laughing so hard. This third child is so funny. Why didn't I know he had such a talent for comedy before?"

...

Zhao Lun's answer made the other princes couldn't help but laugh again. This time the laughter was more exaggerated and unscrupulous, because Zhao Lun's answer was so funny.

The ministers present all had their faces turned red from holding back. They were ministers and could not be compared with the princes. They could not laugh in such an occasion, so they could only hold it in. But the third prince's answer was really funny. This group of ministers suffered a lot, and they all endured it extremely uncomfortable.

The old emperor sitting on the dragon throne had no intention of laughing at all. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, staring at Zhao Lun with his eyes, wishing to strangle him to death.

How come I gave birth to such a son?

Is this being funny on purpose, or is it just a lack of brains?

Zhao Lun looked at everyone's reactions and became even more confused.

What's wrong with this? Did I say something wrong?

"Third brother, let the emperor tell you." The eldest prince said with a kind expression: "Father just said that he had no intention of making you the prince at all. Those were all just rumors. Did you Did you get it wrong? Haha.”

Speaking of the latter part, Zhao Xuan couldn't help laughing again.

"This is impossible!" Zhao Lun said: "Father said that he would make me the prince, Zhao Xuan, you are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I wasn't the only one who heard what my father said just now. Everyone heard it," Zhao Xuan said.

Zhao Lun looked at the crowd, and sure enough, he saw that everyone was looking at him as if they were a fool. Only then did he realize that the people laughing before were not kind smiles, but mocking smiles, mocking him just now. Like a fool.

Could it be that I really misheard?

Zhao Lun couldn't help but think in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Lun had just been rehearsing in his mind that this important moment was coming and he had to perform perfectly. Therefore, he did not listen carefully to what the old emperor said. In his opinion, this matter It was already confirmed. The matter had spread. It was not spread first from his side. It must have spread from the palace. Moreover, early in the morning, several ministers had already taken the initiative to visit him. All this showed that he He will soon be crowned a prince, this must be true.

Therefore, Zhao Lun did not listen carefully to what the old emperor said and was just thinking about his own affairs. After hearing the old emperor speak, he even knelt down to thank him subconsciously.

However, now it seems that he made a mistake. What the old emperor said was not what he thought at all.

Now Zhao Lun undoubtedly felt a feeling of going from heaven to hell. He could not accept such a huge change. He looked at his father and asked: "Father, what is going on? You don't want to make me a The prince’s? Why do you regret it?”

"When did I regret it?" the old emperor said. Before the third prince could be happy, he continued: "I have never said such words or made such a decision. All these are just rumors. I am Clarify the facts!”

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Zhao Lun couldn't accept it after hearing the old emperor say this in person: "Father, you must be joking, right? You will definitely make me the prince, right?"

The old emperor looked at Zhao Lun, who was in a bad state, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Old Third, don't make trouble! All this is fake. The reason why I want to clarify is that I hope you don't have any unrealistic fantasies, which will hurt you."

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Zhao Lun kept repeating this sentence in his mouth, and the whole person seemed to be in a frenzy.

If there were no such rumors, even if Zhao Lun had always had ideas about the position of the prince, he would not react so extreme. But from hearing that he was going to be made the prince to now that the old emperor personally clarified it, all these changes were too fast, so fast that Zhao Lun couldn't accept it. This huge gap from heaven to hell made his nerves greatly stimulated. Under the stimulation of great joy and great sorrow, Zhao Lun was like crazy.

The old emperor frowned at Zhao Lun and said, "Old Third, get up and return to your seat."

"This is impossible, this is impossible." Zhao Lun seemed not to have heard the old emperor's words and continued to talk to himself.

The princes next to Zhao Lun saw this scene and not only did they not have the slightest sympathy, but they all showed expressions of gloating. In front of the throne, brotherhood is worthless.
