Concubine Shu also thought that with the Ninth Prince's character, he would definitely not tolerate it, and she had already prepared herself for this in her heart.

So what if he is the Imperial Concubine's son? Even if the Imperial Concubine is around, she is in the right anyway, so Shufei is not afraid. She just didn't expect that the Ninth Prince's attitude this time would be so good.

Concubine Shu was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Doctor Xu arrived quickly and also took the pulse first. After a while, under Concubine Shu's nervous gaze, Doctor Xu said, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is fine. He just didn't get enough rest recently and caught a cold. He fainted in a hurry."

The focus is still on colds, sleep, and fatigue.

"Although the Fifth Prince is still young, in my humble opinion, Your Majesty should not push the Fifth Prince too hard recently. The Fifth Prince needs to take a good rest recently. It is better to put the study aside for the time being."

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn't help but interrupt: "Isn't it because I'm angry that he's like this?"

Doctor Xu subconsciously glanced at Concubine Shu, and then thought of the old doctor who had just returned and had also examined her pulse. He knew that this matter could not be lied to, so he said, "Your Highness, there is a relationship, but... not much."

Ye Shuo finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, the Fifth Prince did not fall ill from anger, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble.

Concubine Shu seemed very embarrassed when she heard this, but she couldn't just throw dirty water on Ye Shuo and slander him for the sake of her face, so there was really no way to deal with this matter.

After she listened to the servants' description of what happened in the study, she subconsciously formed a preconceived notion.

Concubine Shu thought that Ye Shuo would fight back after hearing this answer, but he heaved a sigh of relief after hearing it, then he arched his hands towards her and said, "In this case, Concubine Shu, I will take my leave first."

Huh? ? You didn’t hold on to it? ?

Not only was Concubine Shu surprised, even Xing Yucheng was shocked.

After leaving Qingyi Palace, Xing Yucheng couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.

Ye Shuo was speechless after hearing this: "Do you think that I am so vindictive and aggressive in your heart?" He admitted that although he was a little playful and mischievous, he was not so petty, right?

It's normal for Concubine Shu to be cold to her son because she cares about him. Ye Shuo wouldn't be so intolerant of even this, right?

As for the fifth prince, he was sick, so you can't blame him for fainting at the wrong time.

The Fifth Prince was so miserable, he insisted on studying even when he was sick, which made Ye Shuo naturally feel some sympathy for him and he didn't bother to care about it.

As for the time when the fifth prince threw stones at himself when he was a child, his mother punished him in the end. The fact that Concubine Shu knelt on the cobblestone path for so long should have offset that.

After all, as long as it doesn't involve Ye Shuo's bottom line, everything can be discussed.

After listening to this, Xing Yucheng seemed to realize for the first time that the Ninth Prince was not actually a harsh person.

Especially when he was punished by being slapped on the hand for skipping classes, he never asked himself and Xiao Luzi to take the punishment.

But! What about the silver?

Just when Xing Yucheng was in great confusion, seeing that it was still early, Ye Shuo returned to the study.

The moment he saw him, Lord Cen was stunned.

I thought he was going to take this opportunity to skip school again...

People who usually find excuses to run away even if they have no excuses, now have a legitimate excuse and come back obediently. Lord Cen doesn't understand.

"I can't help it. I promised my father." You have to keep your promise, right? Ye Shuo explained helplessly.

Lord Cen suddenly had the same feeling as Xing Yucheng.

The Ninth Prince didn't seem to be hopeless, especially just now. Most adults would find it difficult to control themselves from shirking the responsibility, let alone a child of a few years old. But the Ninth Prince didn't seem to have tried to escape from the beginning to the end, and even arranged everything in an orderly manner. This shocked Lord Cen.

This is just like how a bad guy will be remembered as long as he does one good thing. Considering his previous bad deeds, Ye Shuo's few good deeds seem so precious.

Lord Cen's expression eased a little. After discovering that Ye Shuo was not a bad person, he was no longer as harsh to Ye Shuo as before.

Ye Shuo touched his chin. He never expected things to turn out like this.

So much so that even when Ye Shuo fell asleep on the table, Lord Cen was not as angry as before.

What happened in Qingyi Palace soon reached the ears of other concubines. The concubines thought that the one in Qingyi Palace would definitely face off against the one in Qiuwu Palace. Also, the Fifth Prince was so angry that he fainted just because the Ninth Prince was close to the Emperor. He was too angry.

As time went by, the concubines discovered that it was not the case. It was Concubine Shu who pushed her son too hard and made him sick. He fainted in the study room when he went to school. As a result, the Ninth Prince was unlucky and happened to run into him.

Isn't this a clear case of fraud?

"She is too impatient. Even if she is anxious, she shouldn't do it this way." Even Concubine Xian, who has always had a good relationship with Concubine Shu, couldn't help but say this.

Now the matter has become a big deal. Everyone knows that Concubine Shu treated the Fifth Prince extremely harshly. It was really not worth it.

On the other hand, Emperor Jingwen also heard about this incident after finishing his government affairs and couldn't help but frowned.

Although Emperor Jingwen hoped that his son would have a bright future, he also wanted to ensure that his health would not be affected. Concubine Shu was really going too far.

"Pass the decree down. Concubine Shu failed to take good care of the prince. She will be punished to serve for one month as a warning to others."

Wang Ziquan on the side quickly responded "yes".

Emperor Jingwen then continued to ask: "Where is the ninth prince? Is Xiaojiu okay?" Given his temper, he might even demolish the Qingyi Palace.

Emperor Jingwen was ready.

result……

"Your Majesty, no. The Ninth Prince left after he learned that the Fifth Prince was fine."

The young eunuch's words made Emperor Jingwen feel surprised: "What happened after that? He definitely didn't go back to the upper study, right?"

In the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, the reason why his son was so obedient must be that there was something profitable for him, and he was prepared for his morning work to go to waste.

However, it is still not.

After that little bastard came back from Qingyi Palace, he went back to the study room.

After all, he is only a seven-year-old child. Maybe he is sad. He was frightened first and then wronged. It is indeed a bit difficult for him to bear.

After thinking about it, Emperor Jingwen decided to wait until after school in the study in the afternoon to comfort him.

It's been a long time since he's been so obedient.

As for sleeping in class, those are just small matters.

After school at 3 p.m., Ye Shuo was stunned when he saw his stepfather outside the study.

After he realized it, he couldn't help but feel a little numb.

So, what kind of image do I have in the eyes of these people? !

On the way, Ye Shuo had to explain again that he did not make a scene in Qingyi Palace because the Fifth Prince was still ill and things had not reached that point yet. He came back later to fulfill his promise.

Then Ye Shuo successfully discovered that after the explanation, his cheap father's expression became even stranger.

“…………”

hiss--

Was he too successful in his previous performance? To the point where even a little bit of positive development astonished his cheap dad and the others.

I just feel that I was wrong and I just admit my mistake. Is it that exaggerated?

Emperor Jingwen reached out and touched his son's head and said, "It's a pity that you have no estrangement with your fifth brother." At this moment, Emperor Jingwen finally remembered that the fifth prince had thrown stones at this little thing when he was just one month old.

"Dad, you said it yourself. He is my fifth brother. He is also my elder brother, not an enemy. Brothers shouldn't care about such a small matter, right?"

Ye Shuo swore that he had just said this casually, and he really thought so.

Even though they are half-brothers, if I need money in the future, I can ask the Fifth Prince to borrow it. The Fifth Prince can't just refuse to give me money, right?

Having one more brother means one more way out, one more way to fleece the sheep... no, one more umbrella of protection, what a good thing.

After he finished speaking, Emperor Jingwen's expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly wrote down the word "brother" in his little notebook. It seemed that this was also the key word that triggered a certain point in his cheap father's mind.

"Yes, you are right. I also hope that you brothers can always be united and friendly."

Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we have arrived at Qiuwu Palace. Wang Ziquan, give the order. I will have dinner here today."

Ye Shuo: “…”

Please, he really has no intention of winning favor for his mother!

Perhaps it was the fact that Ye Shuo fulfilled his promise that made Emperor Jingwen see the effectiveness of his education, and made Emperor Jingwen mistakenly believe that this method might really be useful, so he prepared to continue his efforts.

Considering that he would have to carry him to school tomorrow anyway, and then go from the upper study to the Xuanzheng Hall to attend court, Emperor Jingwen was too lazy to go back and forth, and simply stayed in the Qiuwu Palace tonight.

Emperor Jingwen's move made the people in the harem also start to worry.

The emperor doesn't like so many obedient princes and doesn't even look at them. But the Ninth Prince's behavior, which makes people restless, makes the emperor concerned.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to everyone's mind -

Maybe His Majesty likes noisy and bold children?

It’s not that there were no princes born in the palace after Ye Shuo, but they were too young and have not yet been ranked in age.

These princes are younger and more naive than the ninth prince, and are more likely to attract the emperor's favor.

Since the Ninth Prince can do it, why can't their children do it?

The imperial concubine was already very favored, and the ninth prince was used to acting like a spoiled child, which meant that Emperor Jingwen, who seldom visited the harem, would basically go to Qiuwu Palace every time he came.

At first, the little prince was fine when he was just born and within two years after his birth, but in recent years, he has been basically like this.

The imperial concubine really uses good tactics.

I just wonder, after their children learn this trick, will the imperial concubine still be as proud as she is today?
