As soon as Yong Chen returned to the palace, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Liang Jinzhong, the chief eunuch who followed Emperor Jinglong all the year round, was waiting for him inside the palace gate. As soon as he saw his carriage entering the palace, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Seventeen, the emperor is waiting for you at Yonghe Palace. I have been waiting for half an hour. It's time, come quickly with your servant."

Yong Chen looked at him warily.He had heard similar words many times from Liang Jinzhong.For example, he splashed ink on Brother Sixteen’s stool, but Emperor Jinglong came to check his homework, and accidentally sat on that time; another example, he won a bet with Brother Ninth, and his companion came to read, and the companion came home frightened with a high fever Not only almost died, but also when his father, Lord Cheng Ping, cried and wrote a scripture for Emperor Jing Long...

There are many similar examples, but almost every time, it is Liang Jinzhong who comes to report.

Every time Liang Jinzhong's opening remarks were the same, he greeted him with a smile and told him that the emperor had been waiting for him for a long time.

Yong Chen grinned and said: "Director Liang has been waiting for a long time. I just came back from outside, let me go back to Yichun Palace first, and tell my concubine, how about changing clothes?"

"Oh, His Majesty the Seventeenth." Liang Jinzhong hurriedly said: "Long Live Lord has been waiting for half an hour. How about this? The servant sent someone to talk to Concubine Shu. Besides, change clothes forever like in the palace. You hurry up Go and call Long Live Lord first..."

Yong Chen is sure.He must have made some mistake again and was caught by Emperor Jing Long.

He carefully recalled that during this period of time, although he hadn't made any major mistakes, he had always made small mistakes.If there was any one small mistake that could make Emperor Jinglong fly into a rage-it seemed to be every single one.

He hurriedly assigned two accompanying readers, "Lianxi, hurry back to Yichun Palace and tell the concubine mother. Xiangyu, go to Yuqing Palace to move the prince's elder brother—if the prince's elder brother is not here, you can ask the guard Zhao to go to the eldest prince's mansion." Just take a trip... and say that the emperor wants to kill me! It's urgent!"

The two companions are both people who are concerned about getting old, and they both jumped out of the carriage and ran away before the carriage stopped.

Liang Jinzhong just stared at Yong Chen, turning a blind eye to their tricks.

The Yonghe Palace is the palace of the No. 1 concubine De Gui in the current harem.Concubine Degui had three princes, the most sons among all concubines, namely the fifth prince Yongdan, the ninth prince Yongjue and the sixteenth prince Yongyi.

Speaking of the life experience of Concubine De Gui, it is really amazing.She is the older sister of the former empress.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager originally wanted Concubine Degui to enter the palace as the empress, but Emperor Jinglong fell in love with Concubine Degui's younger sister at first sight.They came from the same family, but the empress dowager didn't insist, so she chose her younger sister as the queen and married her into the palace.

When the first queen gave birth to the prince, she died of dystocia.The empress dowager then took the initiative to welcome her unmarried sister into the palace. She was a concubine for the first time, thinking that she would have the same father and mother as the former empress, and would take better care of the son she left behind.

It was not until the prince was five years old that the concubine De was allowed to "conceive".Now, more than twenty years have passed, Concubine De has also come out, and after giving birth to her third son, the Sixteenth Prince, Yong Yi, she was granted the title of Noble Concubine by the Jin Dynasty.

Concubine Degui lives in Yonghe Palace, and there are also two untitled concubines Chen and Li living in the palace.Concubine Degui is nearly forty years old, but Concubine Chen and Concubine Li are about 20-year-old young women who have not entered the palace for a few years. .

Now that Yongchen entered the Yonghe Palace, he saw his father Emperor Jinglong sitting on top, looking angry; Concubine Degui was beside Emperor Jinglong, seeming to be comforting him.There are two other beauties who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, lying on the ground, crying like beads, crying so pitifully, they are Chen Concubine and Li Concubine.

"My son has met his father and his concubine Demu." Yong Chen politely greeted the two concubines who were kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Chen and Concubine Li hurriedly knelt and avoided, not daring to accept the ceremony.

Emperor Jing Long snorted on the top, stared at Yong Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Yong Chen, tell me, what mistakes have you made recently."

What Yong Chen is most afraid of is that Emperor Jing Long will ask such a question.

In case Emperor Jinglong was referring to matter A, he thumped and revealed matter B—wouldn’t it be self-inflicted?

But if he really committed a crime and he still bites him to death and doesn't reveal it, it will add fuel to the fire for Emperor Jinglong.

"Huh?" Seeing that he did not answer, Emperor Jing Long lowered his voice.

Yongchen felt as if an ant was biting his heart, he closed his eyes, and simply said: "Son, I don't know."

"Bastard!" Emperor Jing Long shouted angrily, and roared: "You are usually naughty and naughty. I think you will expose it when you were young, and you will become more and more indulgent! Now even the queen mother's favorite thing dares practiced!"

Queen Mother's favorite?

Yong Chen hastily said: "Father, Emperor Mingjian, my son has never seen any of the Empress Dowager's favorite things, so how could he do anything wrong?"

Emperor Jing Long grabbed what was at hand and smashed it on Yong Chen, "Didn't you cut this longevity flower?"

Yongchen stared at the flower stalk and the scattered pink petals that fell in front of his eyes—is this thing the Queen Mother's favorite thing?

Hearing Emperor Jing Long's words, Concubine Chen and Concubine Li, who had turned into sobs, cried again.

Concubine Degui stroked Emperor Jinglong's chest with a handkerchief, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't get angry." Then she turned sideways and said to Yong'an: "Yong'an, give it to your father quickly." The emperor admitted his mistake and said that he would never dare again from now on."

Concubine Chen wept and said, "This longevity flower was entrusted to the imperial concubine by the Empress Dowager before she left the palace. Living in the Yonghe Palace, I saw that my mother was exhausted from working hard for the palace things every day, so I volunteered to share my worries and take care of this pot of longevity flowers..." She covered her mouth, as if she couldn't continue crying.

Concubine Li at the side continued: "The courtiers and concubines carefully take care of this pot of longevity flowers every day, for fear of accidents. Besides, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace from Mount Wutai this winter, and when she sees this longevity flower in full bloom, if To be able to be more happy in my heart is the great achievement of Chenqie and Qie in front of the Buddha." She also shed tears, "This morning, Chenqie and Sister Chen went to the small Buddhist hall of the side hall to pick up Buddha beans, and it took only half a day. Entering the greenhouse again, I saw... I saw... I asked the eunuch in charge of the greenhouse, and he only said that the Seventeenth Prince had been here..."

Concubine Chen let out a mournful voice, "I beseech the emperor to be the master. When Lafayette returns to the palace in the future and sees this ruined flower, how can I ask my concubine to take care of it?"

Concubine De Gui restrained her expression and said: "You two also stop your tears, what does the emperor look like in front of you?" She sighed, and then said to Emperor Jing Long: "If it is a flower next to it, let alone a pot, it will be forever Even the concubines in the room are willing to enjoy the flowers. If the concubines raise the flowers themselves, there is no hindrance. But it is this pot of longevity flowers. Your Majesty, you know how much Lafayette cares about this pot of flowers—— Not because it looks good, but because of its meaning..."

Longevity flower, it is not a problem to live for ten or eight years if it is well maintained.

The Empress Dowager is nearly [-] years old, and it is the time when she is afraid of death. When she was seriously ill, she took care of the Longevity Flower. Later, she recovered from her illness. It has been four years now, and the Longevity Flower has been in good condition.

The empress dowager is getting old, and she is also a woman. Since then, she has believed in ghosts and gods a little bit, and privately used this pot of longevity flowers as a symbol of her own life expectancy.Before going to Mount Wutai, he personally handed over this pot of longevity flowers to his most trusted concubine Degui.

After going there for a year, nothing happened at first, but when the empress dowager was about to return, such a commotion happened.

Emperor Jinglong listened to the cries of the two concubines and Concubine Degui's persuasion, the more he listened, the more angry he became.This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Emperor Jing Long respected the Empress Dowager very much, so he felt ashamed to explain this to the Empress Dowager.

"What do you say?" Emperor Jing Long suppressed his anger and glared at his youngest son who stood upright.

Yong Chen rolled his eyes, and said crisply: "What's the matter? It's just a pot of flowers with an auspicious name. Let's raise another pot, just don't tell Grandma Huang."

The two concubines even forgot to cry, Concubine De Gui was also dumbfounded.The Seventeenth Prince was actually blatantly trying to deceive the Empress Dowager!

Emperor Jing Long blushed with anger, "You bastard! You bastard!" He slapped the back of the chair hard, and was so angry that he couldn't speak smoothly.

Concubine Degui said: "The longevity flower raised by the Lafayette was a tribute from the South Burma Kingdom. At the beginning, ten pots came, but only this one was kept. Besides, this double-petaled feather-leaf pink longevity flower, our summer dynasty can't be found in between."

Emperor Jinglong became more and more angry, if Yongan hadn't stood a little far away from him, he might have kicked him.

Yong Chen looked coldly at Concubine De Gui, then glanced at Concubine Chen and Concubine Li who were kneeling on the ground in a daze, and said clearly: "Father, if this matter is said to be the son's fault, the son will admit it. But is it just Is it the fault of the son alone? Since the longevity flower is such a precious thing and is the favorite of the imperial grandmother, why is it so unusually placed in the greenhouse, without special guards, and there is no sign indicating that the son entered the greenhouse At that time, except for a little eunuch sweeping outside, no one saw it."

Emperor Jinglong sneered and said to Concubine Degui: "Okay, look, I haven't asked the crime yet, but he just came up with a set of words."

Concubine De Gui was in a dilemma, so she could only persuade Yong Chen, "Quickly shut up, admit your mistake to your father, and this matter will be over."

"As long as I admit my mistake, I will definitely not be convinced. I am wrong. Could it be that the head manager who was supposed to guard the flower room is right? The two little concubines are right? Could it be that the concubine Demu who was entrusted by Grandma Huang herself That's right?" Yong Chen finally said, "According to my son, it was originally a small matter, but it can always be resolved. A person with a heart wants to make a big problem, and when it happens, he has to be a good person. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" It's a matter of taking advantage of both ends!"

What he said was not cryptic at all, it was quite direct.

No matter what, Concubine Degui never expected that the seventeenth prince, who seemed to be considered sensible, was such a stingy master.

There was a bit of embarrassment on her well-maintained face.

Emperor Jing Long gritted his teeth and sneered, pointed at Yong Chen and said to Concubine Degui: "Look, you speak for him, but he still drags you into the water—this evil!"

Concubine De Gui sighed, and said in a low voice: "Prince Seventeen is still young, Your Majesty should not be serious with him..."

"Is he still young? Kong Rong knew how to make pears at the age of three, and Huang Xiang was able to sit at the table at the age of nine. He is now seven years old, what else can he do besides splashing ink on his brother in school, and playing games with his companions in his spare time?" Emperor Jing Long was anxious. Now, her eloquence has become sharper, and her words are like sharp knives, without mercy, "It's good now, I can still cut flowers for fun, and dare to argue eloquently after ruining the queen mother's love. Relying on my love every day, it is getting worse and worse. No kidding, I'm not serious enough to treat you, right?"

Emperor Jing Long walked quickly to Yong Chen, circling around him angrily, deliberately kicked him on his back, and thinking that today is his birthday, he gritted his teeth and sneered for a while.

Yongchen stood upright, and said to Emperor Jinglong: "No one next to my son, one person should know what to do. The son cuts the flowers, and the son made the mistake. If there is any punishment, father, just come to the son. .The emperor's grandma is back, and the son will go to plead guilty to the emperor's grandma in person. If the emperor's grandma gets angry and asks her son to go to Wutai Mountain to pray and eat vegetarian food, my son will admit it!"

"Okay, okay, you are a man." Emperor Jing Long became more and more angry, and sneered, "You are a man!"

Yong Chen looked at Emperor Jing Long, and said again: "The son said those things before, not because he wanted to get rid of the crime. It's just that he doesn't like it. Some people obviously did something wrong, but they want to push it all on others. You have to be a good person at both ends, and look at others are fools!"

Concubine Degui is silent now.

"Okay, let me ask you, why did you cut those flowers?" Emperor Jing Long suppressed his anger a little.

Yongchen frowned, it would be very bad to say that giving someone away at the moment.When his father got angry, he probably wrote down the recipient of the gift.He straightened his neck and said, "I cut it to smell the fragrance. I put it in the carriage when I went out of the palace today to enjoy it. After half a day, it became a little wilted. I threw it away on the way back."

Emperor Jinglong took a long breath, leaned over and asked, "Throw it away?" He became furious, "How many times have I taught you to cherish material resources! How many craftsmen have raised them with care day and night. If you are happy, you can just cut it off after cutting it." Throw it away? You bastard!"

This is indeed a lesson, Yong Chen's heart moved, his face softened, and he decided to admit his mistake to his father.

Suddenly there was a report, but it was Concubine Degui's first son, the Fifth Prince Yongdan.

"I have seen the father and the concubine mother." Yong Dan bowed, laughed, walked to Yong Chen's side, and said with a smile: "Father, don't be angry with the seventeenth brother. My son heard that the seventeenth brother Brother sent flowers to the homes of the two masters, who knows about this and says that Seventeenth Brother is polite and sensible?"

Emperor Jinglong was furious, kicked Yongchen over, and shouted: "How dare you lie to your face! I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Yong Chen only felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, he lay on the green brick next to the grand master's chair, hissed and panted while clutching his buttocks, and was speechless for a while.

Yong Dan hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father, please calm down."

It just so happened that Concubine Shu also came.As soon as she entered the door, she saw her son lying on the cold ground with a gray footprint on the back of his clothes, and she felt a twinge in her heart.But she didn't dare to go straight up to take care of him, she just knelt down in front of Emperor Jing Long, and said softly: "Your majesty, I heard that Yong Chen was mischievous and made a mistake again. The emperor should discipline him, so please take it slowly." Come on, don't hurt the dragon's body... Besides, in the imperial concubine's palace, wouldn't such an attack embarrass the imperial concubine? Why don't you take this worthless child back to the Yichun Palace and send it off."

Concubine Degui also hurriedly said: "Fortunately, my sister is here, but I can't persuade the emperor. If my sister comes a moment later, I'm really afraid I won't be able to explain to you..."

"Confess what?" Emperor Jing Long said angrily, "I'm his father! Who else do I have to explain to discipline him?" His anger also flared up at Concubine Shu, "You've raised a good son!"

Concubine De Gui fell silent.

Concubine Shu had no choice but to kneel in front of Emperor Jinglong, and she didn't dare to get up without authorization, let alone speak without authorization.

In the silence, only Yong Chen shouted angrily, "Hey, my butt..."

Emperor Jinglong twitched his face, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Yong Chen who was lying on the ground, and said as he walked, "Liang Jinzhong, the red-headed board who will be punished with a stick!"

Shocked, Concubine Shu stepped forward to embrace Emperor Jinglong's leg, crying: "The emperor is merciful..."

Chen Bing and Li Bing didn't expect the matter to come to this point. They only thought that the Seventeenth Prince was in front of them, so they couldn't see their fault.But the emperor punished him so severely, when the empress dowager returns to the palace and finds out, it is not easy to send the seventeenth prince down, so the pent-up anger will be directed at them both?

The two looked at each other, and no matter what the true feelings were, they both stopped in front, saying, "The emperor calm down".

Noble Concubine Zhide and Fifth Prince Yongtan stood and knelt without making a sound.

Just as they were making a fuss, they heard the little eunuch shouting in a shrill voice outside, "His Royal Highness, please see me."
