The Jing Dynasty was victorious and Northern Qi surrendered. The emperor asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day to worship his ancestors.
The crown prince has been a little arrogant recently, and the emperor intends to suppress him, and has handed over the matter of ancestor worship to the second and third princes.
The crown prince was very dissatisfied and tried to find ways to trip up the two princes. Fortunately, the second and third princes had been prepared for this, and they joined forces to ensure the smooth progress of the ancestor worship.
The emperor was happy and satisfied with the work done by his two sons. He praised them and gave them rewards.
The Crown Prince was furious. "Those two losers are so proud of themselves for getting the upper hand in front of the Emperor. They are so complacent over such a small matter."
The Crown Princess knew that the Emperor was intentionally trying to warn the Crown Prince to be more restrained. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was completely blind to his father's painstaking efforts.
"Your Highness has a lot on his plate, so it's understandable that Father has arranged for several other princes to assist with the ancestral worship. Your Highness, please be patient. When Northern Qi sends envoys to negotiate, Father will definitely let Your Highness take charge. After all, Your Highness performed very well during the last Wanshou Festival."
The Crown Prince said proudly, "That's right. The Fourth Prince was so favored at that time, but he still made a mistake. Father made him face the wall and reflect on his mistakes. I didn't expect that the Fourth Prince was such a traitor and a lackey of Northern Qi."
Even though the Crown Prince has a bad character, he will not do anything to harm the Jing Dynasty. For this reason, the Crown Prince looks down on the Fourth Prince and thinks that the Fourth Prince is a piece of shit.
The Crown Princess naturally despised the actions of the Fourth Prince and others. As people of the Jing Dynasty, how could they do such a betrayal? They would do anything to get the throne.
The Crown Princess agreed and said, "If you do this, you will be despised by everyone. I wonder what the Fourth Prince and Concubine Jin think of it. They actually did something that betrayed the country. Even if they die, they won't be able to hold their heads up high and be criticized by others."
"Your words today are quite pleasant to the ear." He had never been impatient to listen to the Crown Princess, but today she spoke to the heart of the Crown Prince, and a smile appeared on his face.
The prince said as if giving alms, "I am here to accompany the Crown Princess tonight, and now I am leaving for something."
After seeing the Crown Prince off, the Crown Princess rolled her eyes, but the nanny and maidservants around her hurriedly started getting ready as if it were New Year's Day.
After the prince left the house, he went straight to the old chief priest's house. When A'mu came out of the old chief priest's house, he immediately sent someone to capture A'mu and threw him to the ground.
Without waiting for Ah Mu to look up, the prince stepped on Ah Mu's shoulder and said in a condescending and cold voice, "Believe it or not, I can kill you right now."
"You are the crown prince. Killing an ordinary citizen is as easy as crushing an ant." Ah Mu was not afraid of him at all. "However, Your Highness the Crown Prince can give it a try."
"How dare you threaten me."
Ah Mu said calmly, "I am only stating the facts. It is the Crown Prince's choice as to what to do."
The prince angrily kicked Amu's shoulder, then took it away. "You took in Laojiu because you wanted to pin your hopes on him? A nine-year-old child might die one day. You'd better think about it carefully, don't let it go to waste."
Ah Mu got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and sat on a chair nearby. "Your Highness, I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding. Mo'er ran away from the palace and became a wanderer among the common people. Fate brought us together. We didn't know he was the Ninth Prince at the time."
"It was only after arriving in the capital that my father-in-law, Marquis Anchang, saw him and found out. It's not that we didn't want to send him back to the palace. He was willing to stay with us, and the emperor acquiesced."
"In our hearts, he is just a child, my cousin, nothing more. If Your Highness has any questions, you can ask the Emperor. Nothing in this imperial city can escape the Emperor's eyes."
This was also a warning to the prince not to be too arrogant.
The prince didn't get any advantage, his face darkened, "Xiao Yuzhang, you are still as annoying as ever."
"Thank you for your affirmation, Your Highness." Amu said, "The Crown Prince is still the same as when he was little, not much has changed."
Equally unpleasant.
The prince pointed at Amu angrily and said, "Xiao Yuzhang, you are really ignorant of the times. I am the prince, the future successor of Jing Dynasty. You should curry favor with me, and I will give you an official position in the future."
Amu didn't say anything, but gave him a look to figure it out.
The prince was even more furious. He looked down on him so much. "Let's wait and see. With your talent, you may not even make it to the Autumn Examination. You will live a mediocre life, relying on your wife to support you. You will just live a life of mediocrity."
“It smells good.”
The prince didn't understand, "What?"
Amu said happily, "Soft rice is delicious, I like it very much."
The prince was speechless. It was the first time he had seen someone so proud of being a gigolo. He felt that he needed to get to know this cousin again.
After looking Amu up and down, the prince clicked his tongue twice. What kind of ambition could a person who was determined to live off others have? He was even worried that they wanted to assist the Ninth Brother. It seemed that he was being too suspicious.
Suddenly feeling bored, the prince didn't want to say another word to Amu. He waved his hand and had the guards send him away. He stood up and sighed, "So he's just a coward who loves to eat soft rice. Tsk tsk."
It seems that the ninth prince was rescued by them by coincidence. It was only when he arrived in the capital that he found out that he was the ninth prince. When Xiao Yuzhang left the capital, the ninth prince was only one or two years old, and the two did not know each other at all.
Since it was the emperor who asked the ninth brother to live in the Marquis of Anchang's Mansion, he couldn't do anything. He should just keep the brat. He was so young and posed no threat to him.
On the other side, Ah Mu was riding back in a carriage. Linlang could tell at a glance that he had some shoulder problems. "What happened? Did he fall?"
As he said this, he was about to take off Amu's clothes and check his injuries.
Ah Mu cooperated with Lin Lang to take off his clothes, revealing a large dark blue footprint. "The prince bit people randomly, so he kicked me."
"That bastard, the prince, why did he kick you this time? We can't just let him bully us like this. We have to teach him a lesson."
Linlang was extremely angry and twisted the lid of the medicinal wine with great force, wishing she could twist the prince's head off for bullying her Ah Mu.
Such a green footprint, you can see how hard it was, Linlang felt so distressed.
Amu felt a little pain from being rubbed, but also a little comfortable. "It was because of Mo'er. He thought we wanted to support him, so he came to warn me."
"We didn't think about that, but he did." Linlang used a little strength to rub the medicinal wine on Amu, "If he continues to be so arrogant and domineering..."
She couldn't say the rest of the words, as it was extremely treasonous. However, it was obvious that the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the prince. If he didn't restrain himself, he might not live to see the emperor abdicate.
Amu has never looked down on the prince. If he were not his aunt's child, he really wanted to persuade his father not to work so hard for such a person.
"Let him be. The more arrogant he is, the more painful it will be when he falls."
