Rebellious Minister Part 1

After three consecutive days of heavy rain, it was an exceptionally sunny day.The pigeons flew into the garden of the Eastern Palace, and they kept calling "coo coo, coo coo".

There are maids splashing water in front of the porch and cleaning the steps, and a busy day begins here.

Chunyu Aiqing woke up amidst the lively sound, yawned big, and habitually touched the outside of the bed, it was empty and no one was there.

"Huh...? Rarity?" He lifted the brocade quilt and sat up. Nanny Sun immediately stepped forward and rolled up the gorgeous brocade curtain for him.

The young court ladies filed in and waited for His Royal Highness to get up and wash up.

"Your Highness, did you spit well last night?" Nanny Sun bowed and saluted with a smile.She was originally the prince's wet nurse, and she was supposed to leave the palace and return home after the prince was weaned.

But she was really reluctant to leave the prince, and her own child died unfortunately, and her husband remarried, even if she left the palace, she would be homeless, so she begged the emperor's permission many times to keep her in the palace.

The emperor saw that she was honest and responsible, and regarded Qing'er as his own, so he agreed to let her stay with the prince. It has been ten years since then, and now she has become the leader of the East Palace.

"I slept well, Mammy, finally there was no thunder last night." Aiqing said with a smile, in a good mood.Isn't that right, Dad didn't punish him anymore, it should be said that since Jing Tingrui went to Changchun Palace, Dad didn't talk about him anymore.

It was the same in the past, as long as he made a mistake, Jing Tingrui would go to the emperor and queen to plead for mercy, I don't know how he did it, but in the end, his father and father all forgave him.

Jing Tingrui's kung fu of turning big things into small things and turning small things into nothing is truly amazing!Or very trustworthy.

Another thing that makes Aiqing feel at ease is that every night when there is lightning, thunder, or squally rain, Jing Tingrui will stay by his bedside and tell him that thunder is nothing to be afraid of.

"Your Highness, I'm here and I won't go anywhere, so you can sleep peacefully." Jing Tingrui sat on his knees outside the bed, and stayed with Ai Qing through the curtain until he fell asleep.

The next morning, Jing Tingrui was also the first to wait for the prince to wake up, change his clothes, put on his shoes and socks, and tie his clothes.

Although it didn't rain last night, Aiqing was worried that there would be another thunderstorm in the middle of the night, so she asked Jing Tingrui to stay outside the bed tent, but she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled when she got up now and couldn't see him.

"Mommy, did Ruarui go to the school grounds for practice?" Aiqing turned to ask Nanny Sun, she was wringing out the towels in the copper basin, and two maids of honor were waiting beside her with water bottles.

"Your Highness, Guard Jing was taken away by Manager Li in the middle of the night yesterday." Mammy smiled and said, holding a fragrant and warm towel, she wiped Aiqing's face, "You fell asleep, so I don't know ? Guard Jing also said, let us not wake you up."

"Director Li?" Aiqing wiped her face, washed her hands, and asked, "Is it Li Deyi who is serving Daddy?"

"Yes, that's him." The nun helped the prince to wash up, and then ordered the maid to bring a comb and a mirror.

"It's rare to see Daddy come to look for Ruirui." Ai Qing lowered her head and said to herself, "Except for the father, even Daddy has to borrow Ruarui to do business, alas."

"Your Highness, do you want breakfast?" Compared with the guards who left in the middle of the night, Mammy was more concerned about the prince's daily life, she asked kindly, "The servant has prepared your favorite tremella sweet jujube soup, besides……"

"No, I'd better wait for Rarity to come back, let's eat with him." Aiqing stood up after she finished speaking, and strode out of the bedroom where palace maids shuttled by from time to time, busy cleaning.

"His Royal Highness..." The maids knelt down one after another and sent the prince away respectfully.

+ + + + +

"—the so-called monarch, ministers, father and son, son and son."

With his left hand stroking his white beard and his right hand holding "The Analects of Confucius", while shaking his head while chanting, it was Wen Chaoyang, a scholar of the Imperial Academy of the Prince's Division, who was appointed by the emperor to teach the prince and other princes.

In Guozixue, in addition to the most common Four Books and Five Classics, there are also "History of the Great Yan Kingdom", "Laws of the Great Yan", etc., all of which are masterpieces that take many years to explain.

It stands to reason that the prince has his own study room, and the prince's teacher is only responsible for teaching the prince alone - "a minister should be benevolent, a king should be a sage", but Aiqing doesn't want to go to school alone, she is so bored .

But the emperor actually let him use his temper, and even gathered all the children of the royal family who were similar in age, and sent them to the Guozi School to accompany the prince to study.

Even if Wen Chaoyang felt that this was against the palace rules, would he still be able to resist the order?They are all of royal blood anyway, so they have to teach them with all their heart, but if there are too many students, chaos will inevitably arise, especially the crown prince is the first one who can't sit still.

"This is to say that a monarch should behave like a monarch, and a minister should behave like a minister. If the ruler does not behave like a ruler, ministers do not minister, father does not father, and son does not son, the world will be chaotic and there will be no rules. It's..."

Wen Chaoyang was explaining, but his eyes were aimed at the center.

A nanmu Eight Immortals table, with the crown prince sitting behind him, sometimes resting his chin on his left hand, looking out of the window in a daze, sometimes twisting his waist, lying on the table, scribbling on the rice paper with a brush.

Wen Chaoyang couldn't bear it anymore, this lesson just started, why didn't the prince listen to it?Very distracted!

He picked up the ruler on the table, and tapped on the table. Xiao Dezi, who was standing behind the prince, saw him, and hurriedly tugged on the prince's sleeve secretly.

"Don't bother me." Unexpectedly, the prince did not hold back at all, but loudly asked Xiao Dezi to let go.

"Hey, Your Highness is restless today, why?" Wen Chaoyang asked patiently.

"Master, I want to go out for a while." Ai Qing stood up abruptly and said.

"Going to what?" Wen Chaoyang didn't understand for a moment.

The second prince, Chunyu Yan, smiled slightly.He sat on Aiqing's right, a little behind, no one could sit on the same level as the prince.

He is nine years old this year, and the young prince is one year old. Although he is the younger brother of the emperor, he looks like an older brother. Not only is he taller and taller than the prince, but he also has more knowledge in martial arts than the prince.

His eyes are jet black, he looks like an emperor, and he also likes to shoot and hunt on horseback.Although he has a straightforward personality, he is not reckless, nor will he act mischievously in the palace relying on the protection of his father, emperor and empress, which is really rare among princes.

In private, the ministers all thought that the second prince Yan was suitable to be the crown prince of Great Yan.

Of course, the position of the crown prince has been decided long ago, and the emperor has no intention of changing the crown prince. This matter is at most a casual chat, and no one has officially mentioned it, because it will only be self-defeating.

Everyone knows that the child whom the emperor loves the most is Prince Aiqing.

"Brother Yan understands everything, master, don't you understand?" Ai Qing asked with her black eyes blinking.

"Why don't you understand as a teacher?" Wen Chaoyang didn't want to be underestimated by the prince, so he pretended to be clear, "The five grains are rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean. These five are my favorite food. This reincarnation, It's just eating all the grains..."

"Hahaha!" Before Wen Chaoyang finished speaking, he burst out laughing. It was the third prince Tianyu who was sitting further back, who was seven years old this year.

Sitting next to him was his twin brother Tianchen who was carved out of almost the same mold.

Although Tianchen didn't smile, he was holding back too hard, his little face was flushed, and his shoulders were still shaking.

"Why are you laughing?" Wen Chaoyang couldn't hold back his face, and said a little annoyed.

"Master, Wugu reincarnation refers to the convenience of going to the toilet." Aiqing said for the younger brothers at this time, "Students feel that talking about toilets in class is indecent, so they concealed it a bit."

At this point, the whole room was already roaring with laughter, besides the prince, there were also several sons of the prince, who even rolled on the ground laughing.

This was originally a trick they came up with when they were playing among their brothers, and later they went to look through ancient books, and it was also recorded in the book.However, most of them are used in unofficial history, so it's no wonder the prince didn't know about them.

Wen Zhaoyang's face was alternately white and red!The beard was trembling with anger, poking a little bit with his fingers.Of course, it was towards the accompanying attendants, and he didn't dare to criticize the princes directly.

"You, you are too outrageous! You actually joined forces to tease me as a teacher!" Wen Chaoyang believed that the prince did it on purpose.

"No." Aiqing shook her head and denied, "I said mine, they laughed at theirs."

"You, you..." The Prince's teacher became angry, and finally turned around and walked away.

"It's over now, and I'm going to sue the imperial court again." Tianyu simply put aside the book, sat on the Eight Immortals table, stepped on the Taishi chair, and looked like a king of the mountain.

"You knew it was going to happen, so you agreed, didn't you?" Tian Chen sighed, "Why can't you help it?"

"Aren't you laughing too? You're still talking about me." Tianyu looked fearless, "It's not the first time Master has been run away by the Emperor."

"Although I said that, today...Brother Dahuang doesn't seem to be in a very good mood." Tian Chen tilted his head and said.Brother Dahuang used to tease the master, but at most he threw paper balls, or drew a mockup of the master, adding goat horns on his face or something.And all had a great time.

Today, he didn't smile very much, saying that he was going to Wugu Reincarnation, but in fact he just didn't want to study, so he used an excuse to go out for a walk, and if you look closely, his complexion is not good, strangely pale.

"Brother Huang." Without waiting for Tianyu to ask anything, Yan stood up first, and in order to get to Aiqing's desk, he leaned over and pressed his white forehead lightly on Aiqing's.

"Second brother?" Ai Qing was a little puzzled.

"You don't have a fever either, your complexion is so bad, what's wrong with you?" Yan raised his head and asked worriedly.

"It's just useless for me to go early." Aiqing smiled wryly, and said, "Ruirui, no, it's Jing Tingrui who hasn't come back. I wanted to eat with him."

In front of outsiders, it might be inappropriate to use her childhood nickname, Ai Qing couldn't help but change her words.

"You're too stupid. If a guard doesn't come back, you won't eat?" Yan frowned, "He must have gone to run errands for the emperor again, and there is no one who won't come back in three to five days."

Because he is very close to Aiqing, Yan knew early on that Jing Tingrui was secretly sent by his father.

"No, this time it was called by Daddy. Logically speaking, Daddy was at most asking questions, but he hasn't been released yet..." As Aiqing spoke, her eyes turned red.

Maybe everyone knows that the prince loves to cry since he was a child, so it's not surprising, only Yan still comforted him softly, "It's okay, Guard Jing will be back soon, I'll take you to the small kitchen to have something to eat first, hungry It's not good to be broken."

"Let's go too!" Tianyu jumped up and said.

"I'm not hungry yet." Tianchen sang the opposite.

"Whatever the princes want to eat, the younger ones just go and get it..." Xiao Dezi was worried that they would leave.

"What do you want to eat, I'll bring it back for you." Unexpectedly, Aiqing wanted to bring food for Xiao Dezi instead.

"This can't make..."

"Crystal osmanthus cake?"

"Hmm..." This is Xiao Dezi's favorite food, and when he heard it, his saliva almost flowed out.

"Okay, you stay here, the master may come back soon." It was Yan who spoke, and he said to the two younger brothers, "Don't leave either, we will come back as soon as we go, and bring you all the delicious food If the master comes back and sees that we have all run away, he will be so angry that he will return to his hometown."

Everyone agrees with Yan's arrangement, and the people left naturally chatted and laughed, Yan held Aiqing's hand tightly, and the two went to the small kitchen of the East Palace together.

In fact, it is not far from the study, just across a long corridor.

"His Royal Highness, Second Highness." The mother and the eunuch saw the two people bowing and saluting one after another, of course they didn't dare to ask, why did they appear here when they were in school?

"What's hot in the pot?" Yan looked up at the green brick stove, where a tall bamboo steamer was placed in the boiling pot.

"Back to the second highness, the first basket is filled with soup dumplings, the second basket is lotus seed paste buns, and the third basket is crystal osmanthus cake. There are also golden pumpkin cakes here." The food eunuch laughed, "It was originally prepared for your highnesses. I am planning to send the snacks to the study later."

"We're here to eat, but don't be too fussy. What are you supposed to be busy with?" Yan said.But the food supervisor still called a group of maids to come in, wipe the table, spread a silk tablecloth, and put the best table utensils.

Yan didn't bother to talk about them anymore, and took Aiqing's hand to sit down.

The steaming dumplings filled with soup were brought to the table, Yan first picked one up with silver chopsticks and put it into Aiqing's bowl, "Brother Huang, eat quickly, be careful not to burn it."

Aiqing took a small bite. The first-class pork bones and meat were simmered for three days, and the dumplings wrapped in vegetable and meat fillings were delicious enough to make people forget all their troubles.

However, he just couldn't get up.

"Brother Huang, do you remember?" Yan seemed to want Aiqing to be happy, so he said, "Last year's Lantern Festival, Father Huang and Daddy took us, as well as our second and third younger brothers, to sneak out of the palace to play and watch" Colorful iceberg'."

"Don't have a hole in the sky!" Aiqing answered immediately, with a smile on her face, "How could I not remember? The Lantern Festival is also my father's birthday, so it's so lively in the imperial city! I can even dream now." Here we go."

The ice sculpture garden named "Bie You Dong Tian" also opened the eyes of the princes, and they had a lot of fun.It can be said that this is the first time they put aside all the rules and played a game happily.

"Yeah, we played hide-and-seek together, and you won because we couldn't find you anywhere." Yan Jian Aiqing smiled, and then smiled, "We still go to the flower market and set off fireworks like ordinary people , sit around and eat birthday peach buns."

"Well, today's table looks a bit like that day." Aiqing said nostalgicly, and looked around again, "It's just that there are not so many people around."

What he meant was that there was a circle of maids and eunuchs standing around, fanning them, keeping cool, serving tea and water for them.

"They have their work, master has master's business." Yan Que said, "Brother Huang, you can't be unhappy because Guard Jing left for a while."

"I know." Aiqing bowed her head and said frankly, "But... Yan'er, I can only have fun when he is around."

Jing Tingrui was there to play at the Sunrise Palace, and it was because of him that he won the "hide and seek" game, which made the twin brothers jump their feet in anger.

"You, what you owed him in your previous life? You can't leave 'Ruirui' in three words." Yan Zhi shook his head and said, "Isn't there still me by your side? Why..."

Yan hadn't finished speaking when there was a conversation outside. It sounded like two young court ladies. They probably didn't know that His Royal Highnesses were eating in the small kitchen, so they just stepped into the threshold and chatted loudly, and no one else had time to stop them.

"It's such a pity, there will be no more Jing guards in the East Palace..."

"That's right. Although he was promoted and became a royal guard, but without him in the East Palace, the flowers will not be fragrant and the trees will not be green anymore, oh..."

"- Presumptuous!" Yan's scolding shocked the two maids, they knelt down and kowtowed for mercy, "Your Highness, forgive me! This servant doesn't know that Your Highness is here."

"As a court lady, you are talking nonsense, what flowers are not fragrant, and the trees are not green? Are you looking for death?!"

"Slaves and servants don't dare anymore! I beg Second Highness to spare your life!" The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled.

"No. I can't keep you here, I have to tell my father to teach you a lesson!" Yan reprimanded, and ordered the eunuch to drive the two out.

"Yan... They said just now that Ruarui became the royal bodyguard?" As if she just came to her senses at this moment, Ai Qing stared blankly at Yan, who was still angry.

"This..." Yan hesitated for a moment, presumably what the maids said was the truth.Otherwise, why would Jing Tingrui disappear without explaining to Aiqing?

Alas, the so-called long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.Yan then slowed down his tone and said, "Actually, Jing Tingrui is also very good as a guard in front of the palace, at least as a third-rank official..."

"That's not right! It's not good at all!" Aiqing stood up suddenly, her lips trembled and she said in a trembling voice, "You don't know, neither Father nor Daddy ever thought of sending Rarity away. That means... yes, it was Rarity who wanted to leave, he didn't want me anymore! That's why he left without saying goodbye, and went to work for the emperor!"

"Brother Huang, if this is the case, it's meaningless for you to force him to stay. Everyone has his own aspirations. He wants to serve the emperor and get promoted quickly, so he can understand." Yan took the opportunity to explain, "There are so many guards in this palace. Why do you have to ask for Jing Tingrui?"

Unexpectedly, Aiqing gave him a hard look, sat down again, picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

Obviously, he didn't want to talk to Yan anymore, but while he was eating, tears that were as crystal as ice rolled down like a bank bursting.

It was like beads with a broken thread, one after another, and he didn't cry, just ate and shed tears, it could be seen that he was extremely sad.

Yan felt helpless for the first time, everyone knew that the crown prince loves to cry, and was often teased by Tianyu and Tianchen to cry, but that was all in the past, because Aiqing's smile looks much better than crying.

And when he cried, it was really heartbreaking, just looking at it made my heart ache.It's no wonder that the royal father is most afraid of his tears.

"Don't cry, Qing'er." Yan was so anxious that he didn't even call the emperor's brother, and hurriedly asked the maid to take the veil and wipe Ai Qing's tears with her own hands.

But Aiqing ignored him and shed tears. The mother and maid were frightened and knelt on the ground.

At this time, Li Deyi, the chief eunuch of the Changchun Palace, came, followed by the trembling Xiao Dezi.

It turned out that it was the empress who summoned the two princes, and Wen Chaoyang went to Changchun Palace to sue the imperial court. Li Dezhang felt even more difficult when he saw the prince was crying with red eyes.

But the prince suddenly stopped crying, wiped his swollen eyes, sniffed his nose, stood up actively, and said in a hoarse and choked voice, "Let's go, Eunuch Li, I'm also going to find my father."

"Yes. Send the prince's chariot to Changchun Palace." Li Deyi ordered to go on, and Yan also obeyed.

+ + + + +

The Changning Hall on the east side of the Changchun Palace is transparent in all directions and is built next to the lotus pond. It is a good place to cool off in midsummer.

Ke Weiqing, who was dressed in a dark blue pheasant bird satin robe and a gold crown inlaid with jade, sat in an armchair inlaid with ivory in huanghuali, with a solemn expression on his face.

As soon as Aiqing entered the hall, she felt a different tense atmosphere than before. Whether it was a maid, eunuch or guard, they all stood with their heads bowed like wooden figures, and no one came forward to greet him.

In addition, Ke Weiqing likes everything to be simple, so there are very few furnishings here. After the lively voices are gone, only the heavy footsteps of the two princes echo in the spacious hall.

"My son, pay respects to the empress father!" Aiqing knelt down obediently, and Yan also kowtowed, "See the empress father, the empress father is in good health."

"Still in good health? It would be good if you don't get mad at you, you two are such bastards!" Ke Weiqing slapped the table, his voice was thunderous, and it made people tremble, "You even teamed up to bully the master?! The old man was so angry that he suffered from dizziness and sickness Already!"

Ai Qing raised her head and looked up. Wen Chaoyang was sitting on the brocade bench at the lower right of Ke Weiqing, stroking her forehead and humming.

"It's my son's fault, his bad words, which made the master angry, and my son is willing to be punished." Aiqing kowtowed first, and then said, "But this matter has nothing to do with brother Yan, and please pay attention to the queen father."

"No! Empress Father, I'm at fault for this matter." Yan was eager to take the blame, and raised his head and said, "I was the first one to laugh, insulting Grand Master Wen."

"Come on, the two of you are grasshoppers on the same rope, and neither of you can get away with it." Ke Weiqing rubbed his aching temples and sighed, "You go back to the palace and think about it for ten days behind closed doors. This time it's not a punishment for copying." Yes, everyone slaps their palms twenty times! Li Deyi!"

Li Deyi took the order and walked over with a ruler.

Ai Qing looked at it, stretched out her hands in a regular manner, and spread her palms.Twenty beats, not too much, not too much, and with Wen Chaoyang still staring at him, Li Deyi couldn't be sloppy, and the sound of "papa!" was endless.

Yan watched anxiously from the side, urging in a low voice from time to time, "Enough is enough, it's time to hit me."

Li Deyi also seemed very embarrassed, he could only quickly finish hitting the palm of the prince's palm, and hit the second prince twenty times before it was over.

After both of them were punished, the palms of their hands were as red as if they had applied rouge, and there were also swollen bumps.

"After thanking the father for the punishment, the student begs the master to forgive me." Ai Qing's white and tender face was wet, it must be the pain, and her voice was still trembling.

Yan didn't cry, he was relieved after the beating, and together with Aiqing kowtowed to Wen Chaoyang to make amends.

Only then did Wen Chaoyang calm down, and bowed to thank the queen for handling it properly. His dizziness was "cured by the medicine", and he resigned before the imperial doctor Xuan came.

Ke Weiqing still wanted to reprimand the child a few words, but it was reported that the emperor was coming, so he got up to meet him.

Ai Qing, who has always been inactive, now straightened her back and looked out positively.

Wearing a bright yellow silk dragon robe, the mighty Huang Ye came in like a whirlwind. It could be seen that he had heard the news and walked in a hurry. Behind him were two guards with swords, one of whom was Jing Tingrui .

When Ai Qing saw him, her eyes immediately filled with tears, but she gritted her teeth desperately not to cry.

Jing Tingrui was taken aback when he saw the princes kneeling on the ground, but soon he stood where he should be - in front of the vermilion palace pillar.

"What's the matter? It's such a big commotion? As soon as I go to court, I heard that you are going to punish the prince?" Huang Ye waved his hand away from Ke Weiqing's salute, and instead took his hand and sat down together.

"If you disrespect your teacher in class, you will naturally be punished." Ke Weiqing said helplessly, and sighed again, "It's not just Qing'er who made mistakes today, but also Yan'er."

"Yan?" Huang Ye seemed a little surprised, "He is very obedient."

"Father, it's my son's fault." Yan said, lowering his head.

"He was spoiled by Qing'er." Ke Weiqing frowned and said, "If you don't study hard in the study, you're just messing around!"

Afterwards, Ke Weiqing talked about the "reincarnation of five grains". Huang Ye laughed when he heard it, and said that it was actually quite interesting.

Ke Weiqing kept glaring at him angrily.

"Forget it, it's inevitable that the master will be angry, so don't tease the old man like this next time." Huang Ye smiled, and let Ai Qing go again, "Go back quickly and let Nanny Sun do it, or you won't be able to hold this pen Stop it. Yan'er, you too."

"Yes, my son is leaving." Yan looked ashamed and got up to leave.

"Ruirui..." Aiqing refused to leave, his eyes kept looking at Jing Tingrui beside him.

"What, Qing'er, did you have something to do with Guard Jing?" Huang Ye asked.

"Father, father, why did you transfer him away suddenly?" Ai Qing looked at them and asked very anxiously.

"Your father appoints people on their merits, Jing Shiwei has both ability and political integrity, and superb martial arts skills. He can take on the position of imperial guard. You should be happy for him." Ke Weiqing knew that Aiqing would definitely make trouble, and persuaded her earnestly, "No more Or, as a prince, instead of paying attention to others, you should reflect on yourself more, and stop being mischievous and causing trouble."

"So... is it because I'm too naughty that Rarity left me?" She didn't think about it, but Aiqing realized this meaning.

"..." Jing Tingrui's lips parted slightly, but he hesitated to speak because it was against the rules.

"That's right. Qing'er, you don't act like a prince." Ke Weiqing got up and walked to Ai Qing, "Think about it, how much punishment did he pay for you when he was with you?"

"Punishment?" Ai Qing looked at her father puzzled.

"That's right. You always make mistakes. Daddy forgave you many times because the bodyguard Youjing pleaded for you and took the initiative to punish you. With such a loyal servant, Daddy couldn't bear to punish you again. But you did If he can't be a good master, always causing trouble and making mistakes again and again, it's better to let him work for your father..."

"Then, I won't be the prince anymore, Daddy, please return Ruarui to me." Aiqing raised her head, looked at Ke Weiqing and said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!Even Huang Ye's eyes widened.

Before everyone came back to their senses, "Slap!" - a clear and loud slap was thrown on Aiqing's face.

This slap was so severe that Aiqing fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth, Jing Tingrui rushed over without saying a word, helped Aiqing up, and inspected his injuries.

And Ke Weiqing looked at his trembling right hand, his complexion was pale, and it seemed that he realized what he had done.

Huang Ye, who was still seated just now, also moved to Ke Weiqing's side in the blink of an eye, and held his hand. Ke Weiqing raised his head and looked at Huang Ye sadly.

"Come here, take His Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace." Huang Ye said.

Nanny Sun, who was outside the palace gate, hurried in, but Jing Tingrui was unwilling to let Aiqing go.

"Guard Jing, step back." Huang Ye said in a deep voice, Jing Tingrui let go of his hand, stood up, and stepped aside.

"Let's go, Your Highness." Nanny Sun half-pushed and half-dragged the prince, and forced him out.Yan'er was also taken away by the eunuch in his palace.

Qing'er left, but Ke Weiqing bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

"Are you okay?" Huang Ye asked, feeling distressed by his sad face.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I couldn't bear it for a while..." Ke Weiqing said in a low voice.In any case, he also hit the prince.

"It hurts my son, it hurts my mother's heart." Huang Ye smiled slightly, and squeezed his hand, "I don't know the pain in your heart. There are so many people in the court staring at Qinger, he If you make a mistake, it means I made a mistake. This time, Qing'er went too far, but don't be too sad, the child must be taught slowly, and I will always be with you and support you."

"Oh... Your Majesty," Ke Weiqing rested his head on Huang Ye's shoulder, "I'm afraid this child... is too stubborn...will not admit his mistake."

"When a child grows up, he will always have his own ideas, but who does this stubborn temper look like?" Huang Ye smiled wickedly, pointing out something.

Ke Weiqing gave Huang Ye a light look, indicating dissatisfaction. Huang Ye gently held his cheek, bowed his head and kissed him lightly, then took his hand and walked towards the inner room with curtains.

Afterwards, all the guards, including Jing Tingrui, withdrew from the hall to wait.
