The whole city knows we are locked

The second prince's errand was obviously asked by the prince for him.

The prince proposed in front of the emperor that the answer sheets of the current Jinshi should be selected and handed over to the Imperial Academy for publication.It is not difficult to do this; once it is done, the credit is great.Because the prince came up with the idea, the emperor asked the prince who should deliver the matter.The prince then ordered the second prince and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.Xiao Shilang is Xiao He's uncle.

Although the second prince hasn't finished his rotation yet, and he doesn't have enough experience in handling things, but this time's errand is not difficult. As long as he does it well, the adults in the sixth department will see it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts, and wait for him to return. By the time of the sixth part, the adults will definitely be more willing to teach him, rather than use him as a mascot who "go after a few months".

The second prince is not stupid, he knows all kinds of things here clearly.

On the way to the imperial study, the second prince suddenly remembered an old incident many years ago.

Today's harem is relatively simple.Except for the empress and imperial concubine who have relatively good family backgrounds, the other concubines are promoted little by little by virtue of their seniority.But although the noble concubine has a good family background, she entered the palace for another reason, and she was unable to bear children due to some things. bless.A noble concubine is not so much the emperor's noble concubine as the queen's noble concubine.Anyway, the queen and the noble concubine got along very well, and occasionally the queen felt unwell, and it was the noble concubine who stepped forward to help her preside over the overall situation.

The emperor has great trust in the empress, he has no preference for the concubine, and the concubine's natal family is not obvious, so there is no trouble in the harem.But there are no big waves, but there are still small frictions.Today's Concubine De is the queen dowager's bed-bedding lady. She is in good health, otherwise she would not have been chosen by the queen dowager. One is weaker than the other.Because she was an old man serving the emperor, she had already climbed to the concubine position by virtue of her seniority at that time, and she had not given birth to a healthy male heir for a long time, so she thought of giving birth to a child by surrogacy.The Second Prince was born under such circumstances, his biological mother was originally the maid of Concubine De.

The second prince was born in Concubine De's palace.As a result, within two months, Concubine De became pregnant again, and soon gave birth to the third prince.No matter how poor the third prince's health is, he is also Concubine De's biological son.With her own son, she didn't care about her adopted son at all, and continued to keep her adopted son by her side. Isn't this cursing her own son to die?You need an adopted son if you don't have your own son!So within two days, Concubine De moved the second prince and his biological mother out of her palace.

The second prince's biological mother later gave birth to the fifth princess, and now she has a son and a daughter, who are named shun concubines according to their seniority.The reason why Concubine Shun was chosen by Concubine De at first was because of her beautiful appearance and docile temperament, in other words, she couldn't afford anything at all!Even if the queen is fair and manages the palace well, the second prince has never been a slave, and he has never been treated harshly, but the concubine Shun can't stop brainwashing the young second prince——

"You have to be good, our mother and son must always be safe and secure."

"We want what the emperor and empress have given us, we can't reach out by ourselves."

"You are different from the eldest princess. She was born by the empress. You have to be sensible when you are born into my womb."

"You must be humble when you meet the prince, and you must be humble when you meet the third prince."

……

Even if Concubine Shun didn't panic anymore, she knew that the emperor was wise and the queen was reliable.She knew that although Concubine De had a heart, she couldn't do anything too bad.She gradually calmed down.

When the fifth princess was born, she had long forgotten the restlessness of a few years ago.The fifth princess grew up in laughter.

Only the second prince, the words he heard when he was young were completely integrated into his body and blood.So he has always been sensible, he almost never cried in public when he was a child, and he is used to being serious when he grows up.

The crown prince is five years older than the second prince.The second prince often saw the prince at family banquets and other occasions, and he knew that the prince was different from himself.The prince can wear bright yellow clothes, but he cannot; the prince can wear four-clawed dragon accessories, but he can only wear three claws; when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the prince can stand behind his father, but he can only kneel further behind...

Such a distinction is necessary, because the crown prince is different from ordinary princes.

Ordinary princes should not dream of becoming a prince.

One day, when the second prince was five years old, he was studying in the study room. He forgot what it was because of it. Anyway, the second prince accidentally fell, and it was indeed he who fell. front tooth.When the Taifu asked the second prince to stand up to answer the question, the second prince was reluctant to speak because of his missing front teeth.

Tai Tu thought that the second prince would not be able to answer.

A very simple question, why can't you answer it?It can be seen that the second prince is useless.In the upper study room, there was an admonishing eunuch who was in charge of beating the prince's hand. The strength was very well controlled, and it could make people feel painful, but it would definitely not hurt the prince.When the Taifu felt that the prince should be beaten, the eunuch would stand up with a ruler.

The second prince would rather be beaten in the palm of his hand than open his mouth.

As a result, that day happened to be the time when the emperor came to the study to observe the progress of the princes.Seeing that the second prince's expression was wrong, the emperor called the second prince out for questioning.In front of the emperor, it is impossible not to speak. The second prince had to show his missing teeth.He was very disappointed at the time, thinking that missing teeth was a great faux pas.

Unexpectedly, the emperor patiently comforted the second prince for a long time, and then explained the facts to him. Walking and wrestling are normal, everyone will be careless sometimes, why is he so harsh on himself at such a young age?

Then, the emperor called out the prince who was also in the upper study.He asked the prince, the two brothers were in the upper study, so they face each other every day, why didn't they find that the younger brother knocked out his teeth, did he not care about the younger brother too much?

Prince irrefutable.

In fact, the prince was only nine years old at that time. Because he was the prince, he had a lot of homework every day, and the second prince was too sensible and quiet. The second prince kept his mouth shut and never showed his grievances in front of others. How did the prince know that he fell?

The emperor asked the prince to stretch out his hand, took the ruler from the admonishing eunuch, and wanted to hit the prince's palm.

The second prince watched helplessly as the ruler fell down one after another.

He suddenly realized that it shouldn't be like this, how could he blame the prince, he didn't fall in front of the prince, but later deliberately concealed it.He explained to his father, but the ruler still fell down one after another.Seeing that the palms of the prince's palms were swollen, the second prince almost burst into tears. For the first time, he dared to pull the emperor's sleeve.

The emperor looked at the second prince in surprise.The ruler stopped.

The emperor asked the prince: "Are you wrong?"

"The prince didn't..." The second prince explained anxiously.

The prince said: "I was wrong. I didn't fulfill my elder brother's responsibility. The second brother is quiet, so I should take the initiative to care for him." The second brother didn't say anything, because the second brother has that kind of personality.But the older brother had to ask.

The prince looked down at the second prince.The second brother is fine.He admitted his mistake with conviction.

The emperor said a lot, some to the second prince, and some to the prince.The second prince couldn't remember what the emperor said to him at that time, but he remembered that the emperor said to the prince, you are not only the elder brother, you are also the prince.

I don't know if the prince has kept this sentence in his heart—presumably he did—anyway, the second prince has deeply remembered it.When he was five years old, he vaguely understood that the difference between a crown prince and ordinary princes is not only in clothing and position, but also in responsibility.The prince is destined to take on more responsibilities, he must pay more, endure more grievances, undergo more tempering, and do things more perfectly... Only then can he be the prince of a country.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the second prince has never coveted the crown prince.As long as he remembered the palms of the nine-year-old prince who were swollen by the emperor when he was five years old, the second prince even felt a little distressed for the prince.

That's right, it just hurts.

It's just that it's not easy to say that to outsiders.

"If people find out, I dare...cough cough...Prince, I will be laughed to death by them, and I will be regarded as overwhelmed." The second prince said to himself in his heart, "Anyway, the eldest brother of the prince begged for me. As for the errand, I just do it well. Let the prince see my ability, and let the prince know that I can still afford the job."

The third brother is not in good health, the fourth brother is not doing well, and the remaining brothers are still young.

For the time being, only I can help the eldest brother Prince!

The second prince walked into the imperial study with an inexplicable sense of mission.

Outside the palace, Yan Chuyin finished her big job, and when she got home, she showed off to the princess first as usual.Just in time for Yan Chuxiang to come to greet the princess, so the younger sister was dragged to listen to Yan Chuyin's bragging.According to the young master, the moment he stood up in the early court, the entire court was dimmed, and he shocked the audience!

Yan Chuxiang expressed admiration: "Brother is so amazing!"

With fans supporting her, Yan Chuyin spoke even more vigorously: "At that moment, a gleam of relief flashed in Prime Minister Shen's eyes. He thought that although the old man was old, he could see a new generation stand up before he retired..."

"Wow!" Although Yan Chuxiang was smart, she never doubted her elder brother's words, and her family affection blinded her, "How did my elder brother know what the prime minister thinks? After the next court, the prime minister will pull you to talk, right?"

Princess: "..."

So, is Bengong the only one who is sober?

Although the eldest princess does not read Jianghu scripts, at the beginning of the year, the two children Cao Lu and Xiaohe came to play at home, and the eldest princess saw Cao Lu act according to a martial arts script said to be called "True Sword". Xiaohe and Yan Chuyin booed at the side.Cao Lu plays multiple roles. While playing the protagonist to turn the tide at the martial arts conference, he plays the villain who speaks nonsense against the protagonist, and at the same time plays a supporting role-a respected old man in the world.

The eldest princess has a very good memory. If she remembers correctly, the lines related to the old man in the rivers and lakes at that time were——

(Cao Lu read the narration first), and saw a gleam of relief in the eyes of the old man with white eyebrows.He thought, (From here, Cao Lu stroked the beard that didn't exist on his chin, and played the role of the old man, speaking in an old and powerful voice), although the old man is old, he can see a new generation before he dies I am so relieved to stand up!

--------

It's fine to brag, but even copied the lines from the script.

This shameless strength definitely can't follow Bengong, it must follow father!

The eldest princess thought so.
