Chapter 141 The Third Prince's Guidelines
Concubine De took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "My son, did someone say something to you? Your mother has always been a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. There are many things that you don't understand yet because you haven't grown up yet..."
"Well, I don't understand. My fifth brother and I are both the Queen's children. The Queen gave my fifth brother fifty green jade bracelets, but only once a year would she give me one that he didn't want. The Queen stayed with my fifth brother every day to coax him to sleep, but she didn't come to see me for three months."
At this point, the Third Prince looked at Concubine De coldly, "Why?"
Concubine De was too embarrassed to care about her manners and pointed at the Third Prince and said, "You are several years older than Fifth Prince, why can't you give way to your younger brother?"
"No." The third prince shook his head decisively.
Concubine De was so choked that she became angry and said, "You, how can you be so unfilial! No wonder you were born with a bitter face..."
"Yes." The third prince nodded, "So it's good for me to move to the prince's residence and live alone."
Concubine De: !!!
In her mind, the Third Prince has always been an expressionless and dull puppy, but he will stick closely to her.
No matter how badly she treated him, he still respected and loved her.
But now the puppy suddenly said that he wanted to abandon her? !
Defei was unable to accept it for a moment, and she was so furious that she actually fainted.
The third prince took two steps forward subconsciously, but soon he clenched his fists. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy in a group. The third prince stood there silently for a while, then continued to walk around the road and move forward.
The palace maid couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Empress Defei..."
"Go find my fifth brother." The third prince had a blank expression on his face, tears falling from his eyes, and then he walked forward without looking back.
In less than a cup of tea time, the news that the Third Prince had fainted from Concubine De spread throughout the palace.
The palace servants were stunned by the news.
Yuan Ruan, who was eating sweet soup in Rongpin's arms, was almost choked.
Rongpin hurriedly looked for a handkerchief beside her, but before she reached out to wipe Yuanruan's mouth, Qiyue not only wiped Yuanruan's mouth, but also gently patted her back so that she could breathe smoothly.
At this time, the emperor, the empress, and the third prince, the protagonist of the rumor, walked in together.
Rongpin picked up Yuanruan and saluted.
The emperor turned his head and looked at the expressionless Third Prince behind him: "Princess Rong, you should also tell us about the Third Prince's impulsive temper..."
[Great! The Third Prince has always longed for maternal love and has been secretly bullied by his Fifth Brother. Now he finally wakes up! ]
emperor:……
He had a bad feeling. Wait, could it be that the Third Prince's rebellion was related to Yuan Ruan?
Rongpin didn't want to interfere in the affairs of other palaces, but seeing Yuanruan's attitude, she stood beside Yuanruan even more clearly.
Rongpin said, "The Third Prince will be able to start his own household in a few years. This may be a decision he has carefully considered."
[The beauty is indeed very righteous. She can’t be a brother-supporting demon! ]
emperor:……
What is a brother-supporting demon?
The Third Prince bowed and said nonchalantly, "Father, I am only a few years away from adulthood. I can almost take care of myself now. It would be good for me to open a mansion and be self-reliant later..."
[I have ambition. It's better to go out on my own than to be held captive and sucked dry. ]
A hint of smile appeared in the third prince's eyes.
[It's just that the way I handled it was a little clumsy. ]
The Third Prince: ???
He did exactly what the teacher said before, what's wrong?
He resisted the urge to look at Yuan Ruan, but in his heart he had already prepared a small notebook to write down the key points.
System: [Aruan, why do you say he is stupid? ]
Yuan Ruan: [He was stupid because he complained too late, and Concubine De took the moral high ground. Without Concubine De's permission, how could the third prince's unfilial behavior spread so quickly throughout the palace? However, it may be that the third prince did not expect Concubine De to be so cruel to him. ]
Emperor and Empress: ...
The two of them looked at the Third Prince at the same time. Indeed, the fact that this news could spread through the entire palace so quickly showed that Concubine De really wanted to destroy the Third Prince's reputation as an unfilial son.
The Third Prince himself was very calm, not the kind of calm that comes from someone with facial paralysis. His eyes did not waver at all when he heard these hurtful words. He was in a state of complete enlightenment and indifference.
The Third Prince suddenly handed a large package to Yuan Ruan, opened it, and said, "This is for Ninth Sister, as a gift for you... to stay at the Third Prince's Palace for a while."
Yuan Ruan looked at the dazzling array of jewels scattered out: ???
【A big dog owner! 】
System: [Yes. I’m not richer than your brother, but at least I’m more generous than him!]
The Third Prince smiled and added, "I wonder if Ninth Sister likes these shiny things. If she does, I will make some of these gadgets for her when I have the chance in the future to make her happy."
Yuanruan was so excited that tears were about to flow out of her mouth. She covered her mouth with her little hands and said, "I like it, I like it! Stick to me."
Yuan Ruan hugged the third prince close to her.
System: [No wonder some people like the second generation of rich people who treat money like dirt. They enjoy the joy of making money for free.]
Yuan Ruan: [Yes...from today on, you are my good brother! ]
emperor:……
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Just for some jewelry, his grade points were lowered, right?
The Queen and Concubine Rong held back their laughter.
Yuan Ruan continued: [Wuwuwu, the Third Prince is so kind. If I wasn't afraid of scaring him, I really want to teach him my Book of Filial Piety so that he can deal with a biased person like Concubine De.]
The emperor was speechless at first, but when he heard the words "Book of Filial Piety", he suddenly became interested.
The Queen and Concubine Rong were also a little curious.
It turns out that gods also emphasize filial piety. I wonder what’s so special about that?
System: [Hahaha, Ah Ruan, I think he wouldn't dare to do it even if you said it! I still remember your previous remarks.]
The emperor and his two companions all looked sideways.
[Favoring my younger brother? You say I'm ignorant?! Fine, fine, then I'll just go crazy and prove that I'm ignorant! ]
The three emperors: ...
Wait, why is the "Book of Filial Piety" different from what they thought?
[If Concubine De gets angry about this, don't panic. Just plunder all the jewelry in Concubine De's palace, then go to the emperor and tell him that Concubine De abused me. I don't believe she has the nerve to ask for it back. Family affection and money, I have to pursue the same thing.]
The three emperors: ...
So, many of the jewels in that big bag had indeed been seen on Concubine De's neck and hair.
[If the other party scolds me for being unfilial? It's so funny, I'll take the opportunity to move to the prince's residence and find a bride to be my new mother! ]
The three emperors: ...
Isn’t this exactly the same as the Third Prince’s movement trajectory?
I understand.
No wonder the third prince gave gifts to the little princess, he was paying for her tuition!
…
Yuanruan was so happy counting the pearls that she even responded with perfunctory “hmm”s to the emperor.
The emperor was speechless. He pinched Yuanruan's baby fat, then led the empress, the third prince, Rongpin and others away with an expressionless face.
They began to walk in the garden in silence.
For half an hour, the emperor said nothing, and no one else spoke.
The Third Prince's eyes dimmed a little, he thought his father would let him go back first to reassure Concubine De and the people with ulterior motives. After all, he still had to dig a little deeper into the affairs between Concubine De and the princes and kings.
At this time, the emperor said calmly: "You should move to the empress's place first. When you are older, you can move to the prince's place."
The third prince's eyes lit up.
At the same time, the emperor suppressed the rumors, asked the third prince to change the name of the imperial edict to the empress's, and angrily denounced the rumors of "unfilial piety" as false. When the results came out, the former court and the harem seemed to be bombarded out of thin air.
All the fish, big and small, surfaced.
