After ordering the guards to send Yan back gently, the fifth prince sighed helplessly.
The fireworks were lonely, and after the brief splendor, there was a darker night sky, just like the prosperity disappeared and became empty in the blink of an eye.
He jumped down from the rockery and someone tapped him on the shoulder: "Fifth Prince, was that Yan Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of Governor Yan's family just now?"
The man's tone was frivolous, as if he had grasped something against the fifth prince, and said triumphantly: "Tsk... the old lady hopes that you will marry Yan Qingqing as the prince's concubine, so that you will have the strength to compete with the prince. If you let him The old man knows that you have seduced Yan Qingqing, and he must be very happy. Otherwise, after the palace banquet is over, I will go and tell the old lady in person to make him happy?"
The only person who could make the Fifth Prince hate him so much was Zhu Chongjing, a junior from a branch of the Zhu family who was about the same age as him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The fifth prince did not speak. Zhu Chongjing became even more arrogant and walked up to the fifth prince from behind: "What? You don't want to marry Yan Qingqing? The Yan family controls the lifeblood of the entire Dayan. If you marry her, even if you are the prince, you will have to marry her." It depends on your face, wait for the emperor... our Zhu family can make a comeback. "
"Shen Mingsheng, what kind of prince's pedigree are you putting in front of me? What are you pretending to be? If the first empress hadn't adopted you and recorded you in her name, you would have been killed like your short-lived mother. You are in the cold palace. The Zhu family treats you well, are you going to betray the Zhu family?"
As he spoke, he seemed to regard the fifth prince as the property of the Zhu family, and he would do whatever he wanted with the fifth prince.
"Tsk! Yan Qing likes you, why don't you and her cook the rice? When the time comes, I will lead people to break in. As long as her reputation is ruined, I won't be afraid even if the Yan family doesn't agree to marry their daughter to you. What do you mean? Yes or no?"
The more Zhu Chongjing spoke, the harder the fifth prince's fist became, and the bulging veins reached the edge of endurance.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. I see that Yan Qingqing is treating you..."
"presumptuous!"
Just when the fifth prince was accumulating strength in his fist and preparing to send Zhu Chongjing to see the Lord of Hell, the emperor shouted angrily and strode out from behind the corner.
Shen Mingye and Meng Yixuan were startled, and turned around to see the emperor speeding past and Jiang Xinyue standing still.
"Queen mother..."
Shen Mingye walked over: "Let's..."
This Zhu family was really bullying others. They actually shouted at the noble prince and called him by his first name. He didn't know how much injustice the fifth brother had suffered before.
"No need to go there."
Jiang Xinyue smiled at the prince and Meng Yixuan: "Just watch! Your father will deal with him."
It was not only Zhu Chongjing who had to be dealt with, but also the old lady he was talking about.
The son of the emperor, even the son of the lowest-ranking palace girl, as long as the emperor likes him, has a distinguished status. Ordinary people and dignitaries must greet him when they see him. They must not be disrespectful or challenge the majesty of the royal family.
What Zhu Chongjing meant in and out of his words was to let the fifth prince marry Yan Qingqing, and even ruin Yan Qingqing's reputation. He would also wait for the emperor's death, and then threaten the Yan family to help the Zhu family overthrow the prince and support the fifth prince to ascend the throne.
He is so courageous and has no respect for the royal family.
This is not something the emperor can endure.
"Snapped!"
As soon as the emperor takes action, he will know whether there is any.
A slap was placed on Zhu Chongjing's face. He spun around in a circle, his ears buzzing, and it took him a long time to realize that he had been slapped by the emperor.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
"What did you call my Xiaowu just now? Shen Mingsheng? What kind of a piece of shit are you? Are you yelling at my prince? The first queen was implicated to death because of your Zhu family's rebellion. How dare you use her? Morally kidnapping Xiao Wu? I think your Zhu family is getting impatient, and you want to try the feeling of having your home confiscated again, right?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Now that you know how to ask me to spare your life, weren't you very arrogant just now? You still want to ruin the reputation of my niece? How many peanuts do you have to drink like this?"
Shen Mingye said "huh?" and looked at Jiang Xinyue: "Why do you think my father's curse words are so familiar to me? I feel like I have heard them somewhere."
Of course I have heard it, because this is what Jiang Xinyue said when scolding some ministers, and it was stolen by the emperor, a "good student".
Meng Yixuan had seen the fierce fighting power of the Queen of Heaven. She pulled the prince's sleeve and said a few words in his ear. The prince looked at his mother with admiration in his eyes.
really……
His mother is his grandfather’s biological daughter!
In the court, my grandfather not only scolded all the ministers for being unmatched, but he also dared to beat anyone who dared to look down on him, making them cry father and mother.
Even the great-grandfather, the great-grandfather of the family, said that his grandfather Jiang refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and his mouth was as wicked as the ancestor's, and no one could stand up to it.
Shen Mingye felt that his mother's side was no less generous.
The palace banquet came to an end soon, and several important personnel were not present. The ministers were all a little drunk after drinking and talking.
Zhu Qianyi put down his wine glass, looked around, and asked the attendants around him: "Where did Zhu Chongjing go? If he causes trouble again, I can't spare him."
"Sir, Xiaolangjun said..."
"Master Zhu! Master Zhu is not well, please go to the palace gate and have a look! Zhu Chongjing... Zhu Chongjing, young master, he was beaten half to death by the emperor's people and was thrown at the palace gate."
"This little bastard!"
Zhu Qianyi pushed away the table, stood up and ran out. He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, he just thought that the little brat accidentally bumped into the emperor.
"Ouch... Ouch, it hurts me so much..."
Zhu Chongjing was lying on the ground, his whole body was in burning pain, his buttocks were blooming, and he felt so embarrassed that he buried his face in his clothes.
"You shameful thing, get out of here!"
Zhu Qianyi kicked Zhu Chongjing in the waist. Tang Shiliang shook the fly whisk in his hand and kept a cold smile: "Master Zhu, the emperor asked our family to wait for you here. Let me tell you that the fifth prince is a prince. No matter what happens, he will be a prince." The emperor’s own son, he is not a dog raised by your Zhu family.”
"No...Eunuch Tang, I..."
"Besides, the fifth prince was adopted by the late queen for a while when he was a child. However, since the late queen passed away, the fifth prince has been entrusted to the Queen of Heaven and has nothing to do with your Zhu family. The fifth prince has gone to the imperial mausoleum. The Zhu family has never done anything. Now that the fifth prince has grown up, what does it mean for your Zhu family to instigate him to rebel again?"
"rebellion?"
Zhu Qianyi almost fainted when he heard this word now.
He shook his head desperately: "Why did Eunuch Tang say this? I, Mr. Zhu, was cultivated by the chief minister. I will always be loyal to the prince. How can I rebel..."
Halfway through, he looked at Zhu Chongjing with wide eyes.
