   Chapter 111 Lessons (1)

   When Empress Dowager Zhao made a fuss, the confinement order of Qin Fei and her son was lifted in five days.

  The fourth prince, who was quite sluggish, went to Shouning Palace with Concubine Qin to thank him.

  Concubine Qin saluted and bowed her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for interceding for me and Axian. Otherwise, we, mother and son, don't know how long we will be grounded."

  The fourth prince knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Grandmother."

   Empress Dowager Zhao, who was still "ill", saw Concubine Qin's mother and son, and she was instantly refreshed, so the palace servants helped her out of the bed. He looked at Concubine Qin's mother and son carefully, and then scolded: "Look at your mother and son. It's only been a few days, and you've lost a lot of weight. Are those in the imperial kitchen who don't have long eyes and deduct your food?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao is unreasonable and eccentric, which is really unpleasant for Queen Qiao Meng Guifei. But to the favored Qin Fei and her son, the Queen Mother Zhao is a big tree that shelters their mother and son.

Concubine Qin took two steps forward, took Empress Dowager Zhao's hand and said in a low voice, "Auntie misunderstood. The meals delivered by the imperial pantry every day are hot, rich and delicious. However, when I think of my cousin's furious appearance, I immediately ashamed."

   "These years, thanks to the pity of my aunt and cousin, our mother and son have had such a good life. I thought, honoring my aunt will never bother my cousin."

   "I didn't think that my cousin misunderstood me, and then took anger on my aunt. If the mother and son of the heavenly family are in trouble because of me, I am so ashamed that I don't have the face to see my aunt."

   Concubine Qin was crying as she spoke.

The fourth prince also had red eyes: "Grandmother, I have closed the palace to reflect on myself these few days, and my grandson has also thought about it a lot. The grandmother loves me and wants to give me a face. This is the grandmother's heart, and I am happy in my heart. But This matter is indeed a discord between the etiquette. The royal father is angry, it should be, and I should be punished. "

   "There are thousands of mistakes, it's all my fault."

   "The grandmother, please don't make a quarrel with the father and the emperor because of this matter. Otherwise, the grandson is really shameless to see the grandmother."

Empress Dowager Zhao was so distressed that she reached out and touched the head of the fourth prince: "Good boy, this matter is my idea, what does it have to do with you. The betrothal gifts have been given, who can move back to the palace? Anyway, do it. I also did it, and no one can help the grandmother."

   "Okay, both of you mother and son have wiped away their tears. Do what to do. With Aijia here, no one will try to bully you."

  …

   Concubine Qin stayed to accompany Empress Dowager Zhao.

  The fourth prince wiped his tears and went to the Wenhua Palace to apologize.

  Emperor Yongjia was discussing political affairs with Qiao Gelao and other civil servants. The Fourth Prince knelt outside the Wenhua Hall. This kneeling is more than an hour.

  Although the fourth prince is a concubine, he has been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he has never suffered at all. At this moment, I was kneeling under the bright sun, my knees were sore and numb, and I was dizzy from the sun.

   However, he didn't dare to move, he just knelt down honestly.

   "Fourth brother," a slightly surprised voice sounded, and immediately, a familiar face appeared in front of him: "Why are you kneeling here?"

  The fourth prince raised his head: "Big brother."

   It was the eldest prince who appeared in front of the fourth prince.

   The eldest prince stretched out his hand to help the fourth prince: "How long have you been kneeling here?"

  The fourth prince replied in a low voice, "I don't know either. It shouldn't be two hours yet. I'm here today to apologize to the royal father. The royal father has not calmed down yet, so I'll just kneel here."

   The eldest prince frowned slightly: "How can you always kneel like this. Get up and I'll take you into the Wenhua Hall."

  The fourth prince refused to move: "Big brother, want to go in! I'll kneel before the royal father's call."

   If you ask for sin, you have to look like you are asking for sin.

   The eldest prince had to withdraw his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go first and talk for you."

  The fourth prince thanked him gratefully: "Thank you eldest brother."

   "My brother, what do you say about this." The first prince is competitive and ambitious. However, he also took care of several brothers.

The eldest prince entered the Wenhua Hall, saw Emperor Yongjia, and opened his mouth to plead for the fourth prince: "Father, the fourth brother kneeled outside the hall for a long time, and if he kneels again, he is afraid that he will faint. The father still sees the fourth Brother!"

  Emperor Yongjia glanced at the eldest prince: "If he wants to kneel, let him kneel. If you feel bad, go out and kneel with him."

   First Prince: "..."

   The confident eldest prince touched his nose and dared not speak any more.

   After another half an hour, Emperor Yongjia ordered his servants to call the fourth prince into the hall.

  The fourth prince had a fair and delicate face, reddened by the sun, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat. My knees have long been numb, and walking is very stiff.

   Entering the hall, the fourth prince knelt down again with a plop, and kowtowed three times in a row: "Father, this son is wrong."

  Emperor Yongjia looked at the fourth prince coldly: "What's wrong?"

  The fourth prince bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "The son's mistake is to make the father and grandmother lose peace, the mistake is to be too greedy, the mistake is to want to be in the limelight, and disregard the face of the second brother and the third brother."

  Emperor Yongjia sneered: "You can figure it out."

   "I know very well your grandmother's temper. She is partial to you, but if it wasn't for your mother-in-law to fan the flames, and without you pretending to be well-behaved and pitiful, she wouldn't be able to come up with the idea of ​​buying a betrothal gift."

   "Your grandmother fell into the scheme of your mother and son, and she didn't even know it. She just protected you. She even fell ill for this, and she was angry with me."

   "I can't help but give in, and I only punish you and your mother and son for five days. But I tell you today, I have written this down in my heart. If there is such a thing in the future, I will never forgive you lightly!"

   "If your mother and son dare to plot against the Queen Mother's private room, I can't spare you!"

   The last sentence was air-conditioned.

   The four princes trembled all over and did not dare to raise their heads: "Father, the emperor, calm down, the son will never dare again."

   "Don't dare to be the best. It's yours, you can take it. It's not yours, if you dare to stretch out your hand, I will chop your hand!"

  The fourth prince was scolded bloody, and he lowered his head repeatedly to admit his mistake: "My son knows that he is wrong. In the future, my son will be cautious in his words and deeds, and he will never talk nonsense in front of the imperial grandmother."

   "Also, with your second and third brothers, go and apologize to them by yourself. You must not cause a rift between your brothers because of this."

  Emperor Yongjia's anger remained undisturbed: "What are you doing here! Why don't you hurry up!"

  The fourth prince wiped his tears with his sleeve, Xie En resigned, and walked out stiffly.

  The eldest prince witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

  Emperor Yongjia always loved him the most, and he hardly ever lost his temper at him. It was the first time he saw Emperor Yongjia angrily scolding his son.

   At this moment, the first prince suddenly realized clearly. The father who loves him is the emperor of Wei who holds the power of the world. A word is life, a word is dead.
