Chapter 249 Dragon Boat Festival

East Palace.

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou looked at Rong Jinchen who was looking at him solemnly, with a gentle smile on his face, "Why are you looking at me like that, Achen?" He was only wearing the crown prince's casual clothes at the moment, and he had no time to wash and change clothes. He looked a little embarrassed but exuded a natural demeanor.

Rong Jinchen's eyes moved slightly. He looked at Prince Rong Jinyou with a gloomy look between his brows, and his Adam's apple rolled, "Second brother, you..." Before he finished speaking, looking at his appearance, he was speechless.

The second prince's temper was inherited from his father, and so was Rong Jinchen. The three of them were sometimes very similar, with the stubbornness inherited from their ancestors.

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip of Biluochun tea, and raised his eyelids slightly, "Achen, I know you came here to persuade me. I believe you have met father first, right?" He knew his younger brother best. Although Achen looked cold, he was actually kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

The handsome young man nodded slightly, and he also took a sip of Biluochun, "Hmm." Prince Rong Jinyou said again: "Achen, I know you came to see me after persuading my father. I am very pleased to have you as a brother. But as the crown prince, I must stick to the ideals in my heart. I can't retreat." The nearly thirty years of crown prince education he received made it impossible for him to change.

At this moment, Rong Jinchen just wanted to say the words that Qingqing always said: Has the second brother, the crown prince, been raised too extravagantly by our father?

Second brother, you are trying to seize the throne!

Is there anything we can't discuss after you ascend the throne? Besides, the emperor isn't a tyrant, and he didn't ask you to do anything you shouldn't have done!

He was speechless, and then blurted out: "Second brother, you are the prince, and father is the emperor." Rong Jinchen couldn't make his words too clear, he tried his best and took another sip of Biluochun.

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was slightly startled, a look of disappointment flashing across his handsome face. "I'm obsessed with this." He was only the crown prince, and his father was the ruler of the world. Even if he could stick to his own ideals, but...

"I am indeed a little ungrateful." He then smiled bitterly and looked at Rong Jinchen.

Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Crown Prince, when the Emperor lifts your confinement, you should first apologize to him." How could he not know the Emperor's temper? He was always tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Today is the third day of May. I guess the second prince should be released during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Who requires offering sacrifices to ancestral temples during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou's expressionless face couldn't help but relax, and he was even in the mood to joke: "Achen is becoming more and more like the Queen Mother now." In the past, whenever he and his father had a dispute, it was the Queen Mother who mediated between them.

His mother had passed away, and Achen had been at the frontier before. He hadn't felt this way for a long time.

Rong Jinchen laughed, with a deep nostalgia flashing in his eyes, "Second brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. When Qingqing was pregnant, I was indeed a bit talkative and liked to nag." Su Zhenzhen felt that he was a bit like a male mother, but she would not say that.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "After you and your sister-in-law got married, I noticed that Ah Chen was much happier than before." He even spoke more. "Of course, it's my honor to meet you, qingqing." Rong Jinchen smiled deeply, and the curve of his thin lips raised with a silly look.

Weiyang Palace.

Wisps of ambergris wafted out from the gilded bronze incense burner. Rong Yue looked at the memorial in his hand with a dim gaze and calculated the time.

He said to Yu Fuhai who was standing beside him: "Yu Fuhai, has Chen'er left the Eastern Palace?" The prince has the same temper as him. Can he realize his mistakes?

Yu Fuhai smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, not yet. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is worried about you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You know how sincere His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is." How miserable his life must be without His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan in this palace!

Rong Yue smiled meaningfully, "Chen'er has been considerate since he was young, and he is most like Yi'er." Even though he talked less and became a little expressionless after growing up, that was only towards outsiders. To him, his father, Chen'er was very filial.

Thinking of this, Rong Yue couldn't help but ponder again. If it weren't for those restless officials in the court who wanted to instigate Chen'er to join the fight for the throne, how could his Chen'er become so cold and taciturn now?

He completely forgot that Rong Jinchen had never liked to talk to outsiders since he was a child, and his heart was elsewhere.

Yu Fuhai raised his eyes quietly and saw that there was no resentment in His Majesty's eyes. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan has been considerate since he was a child. No wonder His Majesty and the Queen dote on him." Rong Yue laughed, "That's right." How could the little son he and Yi'er had not be considerate?

The powerful people in the capital felt that their hearts were in turmoil because of His Majesty.

Oh my God!

Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quarrel with Your Majesty right after we received the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned to the capital, and then was confined to the Eastern Palace by Your Majesty?

People are locked up in the morning!

But why did His Royal Highness Prince Yan come to the palace?

Your Majesty, will he let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attend the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow?

Don't play like this!

Are they part of the play between you and your two sons?

The people of Jin Wang Rong Jinyu and Chu Wang Rong Jinyan hadn't been proud for long before they were disrupted by the King of Yan!

They all gritted their teeth in their hearts. It seemed that if they wanted to overthrow the Crown Prince, they would have to be on guard against the Prince of Yan's trick!

No matter how turbulent the situation in the capital was, Su Zhenzhen was still happily taking care of her pregnancy in Prince Yan's mansion.

In a blink of an eye, it is Dragon Boat Festival.

It was a sunny day with perfect weather.

Su Zhenzhen was wearing a princess's court dress. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot and she had specially asked someone to lighten the temperature, so she did not feel uncomfortable.

Although she was pregnant, she wore no makeup, only a flying fairy bun, and a headpiece made of white jade, crabapple flowers and rubies, which made her look solemn but not cumbersome.

It is beautiful and elegant, just like the crabapple flowers on the branches wet with dew, delicate and gorgeous, with excellent complexion.

Rong Jinchen wore a jade crown on his head and a heavy purple court robe woven with gold and cloud brocade. He was truly a graceful and elegant man, with a naturally noble and majestic demeanor.

The man silently raised the corners of his lips as he gazed at the pair of figurines in the five-panel rosewood mirror stand. His large hands caressed the girl's round, straight shoulders, his gaze lowering as he spoke in a deep, soft voice, "Qingqing, you are naturally beautiful. Your husband wishes he could shrink you and carry you with him every day, holding you in his palms." He could never have said enough about Qingqing.

Su Zhenzhen admired her own beauty with great satisfaction. She pouted her lips and said, "Why do you have to make me smaller? Can't my husband become smaller? I can still hold you in my arms every day and never let go." She looked at the handsome man in the mirror with shining and affectionate eyes.

Rong Jinchen twitched his lips, leaning over to whisper something affectionately into her ear, causing her exposed skin to radiate a vibrant pink. "You're such a bad guy, you only bully me." She glared at him, reaching out to pinch his waist, which felt so good. "I only bully you," he said, his eyebrows raised slightly, hinting at something.

By the time they entered the palace stickyly, everyone except His Majesty was there, and the palace banquet was about to begin.
