Chapter 156 The Third Prince Was Scolded Again

Zhao Shuiyun was kneeling in the middle of the hall. When she heard the emperor call her a pig-head, her body instantly became even weaker and she almost fainted.

Upon seeing this, the Third Prince immediately explained, "Father, the one kneeling in the middle is my concubine, the younger sister of the current Marquis of Wu'an. We were both beaten by Princess Funing. Princess Funing went too far."

Upon hearing this, the emperor turned to ask Eunuch Zhuo beside him, "Fu Ning entered the palace today, why didn't I receive the news?" The emperor thought that if Fu Ning had not left the palace yet, he could ask the queen to keep her for lunch.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Zhuo immediately reported, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Princess Funing should not have entered the palace today."

"Oh, it turns out that Fu Ning did not enter the palace!" The emperor was still a little disappointed. The war was won, but he had not seen Fu Ning who came back from researching weapons.

Seeing that his father was still worried about whether Zhao Lingmeng had entered the palace today, the Third Prince became anxious. He could only speak up to pull his father back from his thoughts: "Father, look at this face of your son. It was Princess Funing who beat me."

"Fu Ning didn't even enter the palace today. Where did she go to slap you in the face?" The emperor changed his sitting posture when he said this. After such a long time of collecting information from various sources, the emperor could be considered to know Fu Ning.

Although Funing had a similar temper to Changyou and a touch of pampered charm, she was impeccable in matters of justice and not unreasonable. So, it was probably her foolish son who had provoked her again.

"Father, whose side are you on?" The third prince was very dissatisfied with the emperor's reaction, because the emperor had doted on him very much in the past, and he was far ahead of his brothers.

"You finish first." The emperor looked at him with an encouraging look. Mainly, the emperor was quite curious about why his third son always angered Fu Ning, and he wanted to see if he could mediate their relationship.

The third prince thought his father was on his side, so he told the emperor what happened today, and even embellished his abusive words.

After hearing this, the emperor had only one thought in his mind, he just wanted to throw away his stupid son.

"Who told you that I need to marry a princess?"

"I'm just trying to scare Funing! I think if you really want to marry someone off, you'll definitely choose Funing! Is it possible to choose your own daughter Huaishu?" The third prince felt that his idea made sense, and if it were him, he would definitely choose this.

"Then what ability do you have to make me change my mind?" The emperor was almost mad at this idiot, but he still had to keep smiling on his face. It was so difficult for him.

"Your son thinks that our Jing Kingdom is the victorious country. Even if a princess is to be married off, it should be Nan Gan who is marrying off the princess!" The third prince's IQ was still online at this time, but it was obviously not very high.

"Alright, both of you go down!" The emperor didn't want to see these two idiots at the moment. He really envied Changyou. However, he glanced at the concubine of the third prince kneeling below, and the emperor felt a little more balanced. At least Changyou also had an unfilial daughter, and he was not the only one.

"Your Majesty, you haven't said how to deal with Fu Ning's disrespect." The third prince was very unwilling to let his father let him go so easily. Wouldn't the beating he and Yun'er received be in vain?

"That's disrespectful! In terms of rank, she's the eldest princess, and you're just a bald prince. In terms of affection, she's your elder sister. Where's the disrespect? You two brought this upon yourselves. You deserve to be beaten."

"But I am the prince! Your biological son. Funing is just the daughter of an outsider. How can she be worthy of being my eldest sister? How dare she hit me? Father, I refuse to accept this."

The Third Prince simply felt that Zhao Lingmeng was just the daughter of an outsider, far inferior to his own noble status. He didn't know that if his father hadn't been partial to him, he would have been beaten by now. It was a pity that the Third Prince didn't understand.

The emperor was so angry when he heard this that he took the seal and threw it at the third prince, "You idiot, you still don't accept it?"

The third prince did not expect that his father would suddenly get angry. He did not have time to dodge and was hit directly. A cut appeared on his forehead in an instant, and blood flowed down his face.

The third prince and the emperor's servants immediately knelt on the ground. The third prince didn't even dare to wipe the blood from his forehead and knelt on the ground looking pitiful. But even so, the emperor's anger was not completely gone.

"You don't accept it. Besides being my son, have you ever done anything that benefits the country? The people support you with taxes, and you keep running around with this kind of bastard.

My mind is constantly racing to figure out how to support such a heartless idiot. You're the type who can even manipulate her own family, and yet you're still pampering her every day. You eat and drink for free, and I don't expect you to contribute anything, so can't you even stay out of trouble?

And that foreign minister's daughter you mentioned, she discovered cowpox. Do you know how many lives this discovery saved? Just look at this point, don't say you're asking for trouble. Even if Fu Ning dislikes you and kills you directly, I will only say it's a good decision. If I had a choice, who would want a fool like you as a son? And you still think you are so noble."

The emperor's words were harsh, pointing at the Third Prince and Zhao Shuiyun and cursing them. This completely destroyed the Third Prince's future. Furthermore, the emperor didn't ask anyone in the hall to leave when he was scolding him. The Third Prince was completely stunned after hearing this and knelt on the ground.

Looking at the emperor in disbelief, "Father, is this how you see me?"

"What else? Tell me what important things you have done?" The emperor said so much, and seeing the reaction of the third prince, he thought to himself that the idiot was really hopeless.

The most desperate person here was Zhao Shuiyun. It turned out that this was the image she held in the emperor's mind. She was completely out of the question of becoming the first wife. She regretted causing such a scene today.

The Third Prince pondered for a long time. He hadn't actually done anything, hadn't made any contributions, and he was even more confused. He was just a freeloader, and yet he kept provoking Fu Ning, who had made such a great contribution. Why had things come to this? He couldn't explain why.

"Get out! Don't embarrass yourself before the Nangan envoy goes back. What about marriage? Sometimes I even want to marry you off." The emperor didn't really want to do anything to the third prince. It would be better to just lock up the idiot.

After the Third Prince left, the Emperor immediately ordered Eunuch Zhuo to give Zhao Lingmeng a bunch of gifts. The Nangan envoy was about to arrive. He couldn't let down his meritorious officials at this time, or else there would be many people trying to poach them!

Zhao Lingmeng received a bunch of rewards in the afternoon, and her mood became even better. She was so happy that she could even eat two more bowls of dinner.
