Chapter 500: The Short Shadow
The emperor took a sip of tea and said without raising his head, "Why are you so anxious to come here? What's the matter?"
The prince hesitated for a moment before explaining the whole story and the system's conception of the melodramatic story.
The emperor's expression was calm at first, but after hearing dozens of melodramatic stories, he couldn't help but sip water.
He looked up in shock: "You mean, this box is full of melodramatic stories?"
The prince nodded heavily.
The emperor fell into memories with a serious expression.
The Third Prince, who came along with them, looked at the Crown Prince and then at his father. He quickly noticed something was wrong, and his excitement and curiosity subsided in an instant.
At this time, the emperor stood up and said calmly and coldly: "The suggestion is interesting, but as to whether it can be implemented, Prince, I will leave this matter to you to consider and you don't need to report it to me."
After saying this, the emperor put down his teacup and walked away in big strides.
Prince: ???
The rest: !!!
——Your Majesty, you are so decisive in throwing the blame!
The Third Prince looked around, then came over in small steps and whispered to the Crown Prince, "Brother Crown Prince, is there something wrong with the content of this story? Actually, I love reading storybooks, why don't you let me screen them?"
The prince sighed.
He wanted to, but he couldn't do it!
The Crown Prince patted the Third Prince on the shoulder and said, "I'll give it to you after you come of age."
The Third Prince rolled his eyes and whispered, "Brother Crown Prince, since Father has said that you will be able to handle it, there is no need to rush. At least, we should not allow rumors to arise during the imperial examinations in the next few days."
The Crown Prince looked at the Third Prince and said softly, "You mean..."
The Third Prince: "Drag it first."
The prince nodded, that made sense.
The prince handed the copper box to the palace maid beside him, and left in a good mood with the third prince in his arms.
As the two were walking, by chance, they first met Yuan Ruan who was pulling a palace maid out of the house.
The Third Prince picked up Yuan Ruan and asked softly, "How did you get out?"
Yuan Ruan struggled twice but didn't move, then lay down: "Third brother, take a walk to help digestion."
The Third Prince said, "It's getting dark, and you might run into dangers like insects and rats if you walk on the road. I'd better let your brother carry you. When we get back, I'll ask the imperial physician to give you some digestion-promoting pills."
Yuanruan nodded.
At this moment, a sinister voice suddenly came from not far away: "Ya yaya yaya...insects and rats are in danger, hehe..."
Yuan Ruan looked over and saw two small shadows standing in the corner of the wall.
She looked carefully and found that the people standing there were the Fifth Prince and his companion.
At this time, the Fifth Prince raised his head and stared at her. No, he was not looking at her. The Fifth Prince should be looking at the Third Prince.
Yuan Ruan suddenly remembered the awkward relationship between the two brothers. She turned her head and happened to see the Third Prince glance at the Fifth Prince indifferently, then continued walking forward holding Yuan Ruan.
The third prince didn't say anything.
The fifth prince's eyes turned red, and he stamped his feet suddenly, suddenly getting angry at his companion.
The Fifth Prince's sharp voice rang out: "I did it on purpose. I hit you on purpose. So what? I just can't stand your ungratefulness, your disrespect for your relatives, and your unfilial behavior. It disgusts me!"
The young companion knelt on the ground, holding his head with his hands, and just let the fifth prince slap him without even a word of defense. Obviously, this was not the first time he was beaten.
Yuan Ruan frowned: [I remember that Concubine De has been sent to the cold palace. Why is the Fifth Prince still so arrogant and irritable, hitting people at every turn, and even daring to be weird to the Third Prince.]
