Chapter 168 The Hidden Staff of the Prince in the Cold Palace 14

The emperor had not yet arrived, and the atmosphere at the banquet was relaxed.

Qin Yu'an ate a few pieces of cakes, looked around, took out some oil paper, put a little bit of cakes and food on each of the plates in front of him, and then stuffed them into his sleeves.

Anyway, no one would pay attention to him at the banquet, so after his father expressed his condolences, he would sneak back and share the delicious food with his mother.

He didn't expect that his behavior was seen by two people at the banquet.

The Fourth Prince saw the Fifth Prince out of the corner of his eye, sneered at his sneaky behavior, and prepared to watch the show later.

Jiang Chen noticed that Ling Si's gaze was fixed in one direction. When he followed his gaze, he could not find where his gaze was fixed, so he frowned subconsciously.

He was not with the young man for a long time, so who attracted this man?

Just as he was thinking about it, he was hit on the back of his head by a powerful palm. Jiang Chen's face flushed, and he looked at his father who had hit him, "Father, why did you hit me!?"

Prince Yongning scolded in a low voice: "The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is a festive day. Don't be so sullen to me. If someone catches you, I will see that the emperor will punish you!"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes angrily and almost got slapped by his father again.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Prince Yongning looked at the young man who was drinking not far away. Just by sitting there, countless young ladies from official families looked at him. It was unknown where he was looking, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze fiercely. How could he believe that a man, who behaved in a bohemian manner and was such a well-behaved child in his childhood, had now become a playboy who spent all day in brothels?

If it weren't for Jiang Chen's insistence, he wouldn't have realized how this child had persevered all these years. It's really heartbreaking.

No wonder Jiang Chen admires him so much that he is not afraid of being branded as a homosexual.

Prince Yongning stroked his beard. Was he too fierce that day? Would it affect their relationship?

Jiang Chen was hit again, and the wine in the cup sloshed out, and he almost choked, "Dad, why did you hit me again!?"

The prince coughed lightly against his lips, refusing to admit that he had used too much force, "I'm just reminding you to study hard, do you hear me?"

Jiang Chen met his father's gaze, and nodded eagerly, "Of course, of course."

He will definitely learn well from Ah Si.

......

Thin but smart, this was Ling Si's first impression of the Fifth Prince.

Living in the cold palace for a long time without any support, he and his mother must have had a very difficult life. Being bullied, working hard, and not having enough to eat were common occurrences.

But the fact that his mother was able to protect him in the cannibalistic palace proves that this palace maid had certain abilities.

The fifth prince's mother was promoted to a noble lady after giving birth to him, but soon afterward she was framed by Concubine Xian for murdering the third princess and the fourth prince. The emperor was furious and sent her to the cold palace.

The virtuous concubine was in the favor of the emperor, and she had the prime minister as her mother's family, so she enjoyed great glory for a time.

The fifth prince was originally to be raised by the queen, but Concubine Xian asked the emperor to revoke the order on the grounds that the child was too young and should stay with his mother and that the prince should be trained more.

The virtuous concubine, on the other hand, earned a good reputation for being kind and generous by providing regular assistance to the fifth prince and his mother.

As for what the aid was and whether it reached the Fifth Prince and his mother, no one else had a way of knowing.

.......

The emperor arrived late, said some polite words, and then made some demands. Only after being flattered and fawned upon by the ministers did he allow them to do as they pleased.

A group of dancers soon came up to the hall and danced gracefully in the center of the hall.

The Queen was smiling and whispering something to the Emperor. The middle-aged Emperor also had a smile on his face. It can be said that the couple was deeply in love.

This illusion was soon broken by someone. The virtuous concubine raised her red lips, dressed in pink, with a slender waist, and she was graceful and charming as she poured wine for the emperor.

"His Majesty,"

The emperor's attention was attracted, and the reason why Concubine Xian had been favored for so many years was largely due to her beautiful face.

The prime minister was fat and had big ears, and his wife was dignified and serious. No one knew how she gave birth to such a charming daughter.

The Queen's smile faltered for a moment before she looked away, "Your Majesty, is there too much incense burning in this palace? It's really a bit suffocating. I feel a little dizzy, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, without waiting for the emperor to speak, she bowed and was helped away by the palace maid.

The departure of the mother of a country did not attract much attention. Only a few ministers expressed symbolic concern for her health, and the banquet continued with singing and dancing.

The main characters in this main position have become the emperor and the virtuous concubine.

Qin Yu'an sat there coldly, while the other princes were either socializing with officials or gathering together to chat and laugh.

He felt extremely bored, so he covered the things in his sleeves and prepared to quietly leave from the back hall.

Suddenly, he became aware of a gaze that was hard to ignore. His body froze and his eyes turned, fixed on a young man in purple.

The young man seemed to have only noticed that he had left the table, and did not expose his thoughts. Qin Yu'an understood the meaning in the young man's eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, crouched down and fled.

The cold wind of late autumn blew into my sleeves, and my eyes soon turned red. The room was unusually warm, even hot, forming two extremes from the outside.

Qin Yu'an had been gone for a long time, but the young man's face was still clear in his mind. He remembered him. Many princes in the academy had gathered together to discuss him. They said that he looked like Pan An, was extremely dissolute, and it would be nice to keep him in the back house, but it was impossible for him to be the principal wife.

He just felt disgusted, not at Yongchuan Hou, but at his brothers who were maliciously speculating and belittling him. The teenage men had an evil spirit that could not be dispelled. They flirted with the pretty palace maids and eunuchs on the road. Some of them were even younger than them. They could not resist and could only try their best to avoid their clutches.

Qin Yu'an just felt disgusted and wanted to vomit when he saw it. He even had the urge to cut off their tools.

To a certain extent, the emperor was a male prostitute, sleeping with a group of women. The former dynasty asked for help from a minister, and the harem had to please his daughter.

The flattery that seems like alms is nothing but a fig leaf for the emperor.

It seems that being an emperor is not that easy.

The cold wind blowing through the hall dispelled a lot of his irritability and made his mind clearer. He quickened his pace and hurried back to his residence so that his mother could have some hot cakes.

When they reached the Imperial Garden, they heard laughter from behind the flowers. Qin Yu'an planned to take a detour, but the group of people came towards him and had obviously noticed him.

"Fifth brother is not at the banquet. Why are you in such a hurry?" A young man in prince's clothes asked him in an arrogant voice.

"Fourth brother, I am not feeling well, so I will leave first to avoid affecting the banquet experience of my father and the ministers." Qin Yu'an saluted respectfully and took a step back unconsciously.

There was a sudden dull pain in his back and the boy threw himself forward. The thing in his sleeve did not fall out, but it was definitely crushed.

Qin Yu'an's heart stopped suddenly and he felt a burning pain in his knees and elbows. He could hear the mocking voices of young boys and girls. Someone even kicked his clothes, mocking him for not being worthy of wearing such fine fabric.

A yellow skirt passed by in front of him, and Qin Yu'an knew it was the third princess. The girl laughed so hard that she bent over, and her giggles were particularly piercing. Qin Yu'an's eyes kept getting misty, and his hands holding his sleeves kept tightening.

That was what he brought for his mother to eat. It's all gone, all gone...

It's all because of them!

Qin Yu'an struggled to stand up, but a force on his back pushed him back hard.

Not far away from where he could see, there was a large lake with a few birds flying low over the water. The lake was like an abyss, attracting him.

Qin Yu'an was holding back his energy. He grabbed the dead weeds on the ground and crawled towards that side. Every time he walked a distance, he received a few kicks on the back.

There seemed to be a rope under the feet of the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince, emerging from the bottom of the lake and pulling them.

"The Fourth Prince has fallen into the water! Someone come quickly! The Fourth Prince has fallen into the water!"
