   Chapter 570 "Apologize"

  The royal heirs are still prosperous. There are five grandsons and two granddaughters in this generation.

  According to the practice of the previous dynasty, the child is not raised until he is about eight years old. When they are ten years old, they will be crowned the prince or the prince. Li Jue is the grandson of the Eastern Palace's direct descendant, and among the grandsons, he has the most noble status.

  The three little princes mentioned by Eunuch Liu are the three brothers and sisters, Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong.

  Li Tang, Li Chen, and the others, go to the study every day to read, and come to Shouning Palace every few days to greet them. The three sisters and brothers Li Jue lived in the East Palace. Emperor Yongjia watched him grow up, so he was naturally closer and loved.

   is the Empress Dowager Zhao, and she especially loves their three siblings.

   "Hurry up and let Brother Jie and the others come in." Empress Dowager Zhao ordered without hesitation.

  Emperor Yongjia frowned.

  Lu Mingyu quietly left the palace, and Li Jue and the others naturally knew it. These few days, it has been concealed without leakage!

   Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at Emperor Yongjia and muttered in a low voice: "What do children understand. Just listen to what your mother says. Don't lose your temper at the children."

  Emperor Yongjia snorted softly.

   Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong came in together, and knelt down together.

   Li Jue and Li Xuan are just that, Li Cong is still a three-year-old child, kneeling there in a small ball, it is really heart-wrenching. Empress Dowager Zhao was so distressed that she said repeatedly: "Hey, what are you doing, get up and talk quickly, don't kneel."

   The three children did not move, and continued to kneel.

  Li Jue, as an elder brother, has no shirk, and is the first to plead guilty: "The great-grandmother of the emperor, the grandfather of the emperor, the grandchildren have made mistakes, and I came here to plead guilty."

   Li Xuan was also a little embarrassed, and lost his usual pride: "It's our fault, we shouldn't pretend to deceive the emperor's great-grandmother and the emperor's grandfather. Today, we are here to receive the punishment."

  Li Cong didn't say anything, just flat mouthed and cried. She didn't cry loudly, her little body twitched and twitched, like a child without a mother and father, which was pitiful.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was so distressed that she leaned over and hugged Li Cong: "Brother Cong, don't cry. Great-grandmother didn't blame you!"

  Li Conn firmly remembered the instructions of her brother and sister, and cried while hugging Empress Dowager Zhao's neck: "Great-grandmother, Conan'er is wrong! Don't be angry with Conan'er."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was crying until her eyes were red, and tears were about to come out: "How can my great-grandmother be angry with you, dear, stop crying."

  Emperor Yongjia is hard-hearted, and he couldn't resist it. His frowning brows loosened, and he said solemnly, "Li Jue, Li Xuan, you two get up. I have something to ask you brothers and sisters!"

   Li Jue and Li Xuan then stood up, each with their heads bowed, a pitiful look of my fault.

  Emperor Yongjia looked both angry and a little distressed, and snorted: "Is this what Lu taught you? Knowing that I will be angry, let the three of you come to apologize and make me soften?"

  Li Jue looked ashamed: "That's not true. My mother left in a hurry and only told us to take care of ourselves. We felt that we were doing something wrong, and we willingly came to admit our mistakes to the imperial grandfather."

   "Grandfather, we were wrong." Li Xuan, who never cried, turned red today and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand: "Grandfather punish us!"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia has always been a good father who loves his son and daughter. Even if he was afraid of Prince Li Jing, he never scolded him in person. When it comes to the generation of grandkids and granddaughters, I love them so much.

   Seeing Li Jue and Li Xuan like this, Emperor Yongjia's heart has already softened, and he has to hold on to his mouth: "It's the Lu family who is wrong, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to admit it!"

   "My mother was worried about my father's safety, so she was willing to risk being severely punished by the imperial grandfather, and left the palace to go to Jiangnan without permission." There was a choked sob in Li Jue's voice: "We are worried about both father and mother."

Tears welled in Li Xuan's eyes: "Mother made a mistake, and we are willing to admit punishment for her. Grandfather, you punish us for grounding, for kneeling all the time, for copying books, or for not eating for three days. ."

  Li Cong's originally small cry suddenly became louder: "I'm hungry, I'm going to eat now!"

   Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't wait any longer, and continued: "Great-grandmother will let someone prepare meals, don't let Brother Cong go hungry."

  Li Conan said sobbing: "The imperial grandfather is still angry, I dare not eat it."

   Empress Dowager Zhao immediately glared and said, "You have to eat when you are in bed. When Brother Cong and the others are full, it's not too late for you to frown."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  Yes, why are you angry about this?

   No matter how angry you are, you can't be angry with the children!

  Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said to Li Jue and Li Xuan, "Follow me to eat first."

  Li Jue Li Xuan nodded obediently.

   You can't find any grandchildren who are more well-behaved, smarter, and cuter than them.

  Only for this point, daughter-in-law Lu Mingyu is a major contributor. Even this Lu Mingyu is too daring! Emperor Yongjia had a headache just thinking about it, and he had no choice but to press his anger for a while.

  …

   This lunch, Emperor Yongjia didn't know the taste of his food, so he put down his chopsticks after a few bites.

   Li Jue and Li Xuan ate half full, and as soon as Emperor Yongjia dropped his chopsticks, the two brothers and sisters also stopped.

   On the other hand, Li Cong, after crying, rubbed his eyes, and began to lower his head and eat fiercely, until his belly was round.

   Zhao Tianhou couldn't help but ask, "Has Brother Cong been full for a few days?"

  Li Conan flattened her mouth and nodded: "I miss my mother every day. I don't want to eat anymore when my mother isn't here."

   Empress Dowager Zhao heard a burst of fire in her heart, and snorted: "She just left the three of you like this, it's really cruel."

   Li Cong immediately said loudly: "My mother left to save my father. My mother didn't care about me."

   Empress Dowager Zhao: "..."

   Li Xuan glared at Li Cong.

   Li Cong reflexively shrank his neck, not daring to shout any more.

  Emperor Yongjia twitched the corners of his mouth, stood up and said, "I want to go back to the Wenhua Palace to review the book. The three of you, go back to the East Palace and stay with us. Everything has nothing to do with you, so don't be afraid."

   The three children responded in unison.

  Li Jue boldly begged: "Grandfather, can we visit the grandmother every day?"

   Li Xuan also looked at her with pleading eyes: "The emperor's grandmother is seriously ill, and neither father nor mother is in the palace. I want to serve my father and mother in filial piety."

  Li Cong became anxious, slid down from the chair, ran to Emperor Yongjia, and shook his sleeves, "Grandfather, I'm going too!"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

   The three little faces were raised, and the three pairs of black eyes were full of prayers.

   Just, let the children enter the Jiaofang Hall, what is the grounding?

  Emperor Yongjia was ruthless, his face straightened: "Your grandmother is sick, you must rest well. Don't disturb her tranquility, and she will not be sick to you."

   Then, he walked away under the disappointed eyes of the children.
