Chapter 553 Why Don’t You Call Me
The prince felt aggrieved for a second, but he was more worried that his father would criticize the princesses.
He hesitated for a moment and cautiously prepared to plead: "Father, this matter is a bit exaggerated, but..."
The emperor asked, "Why don't you call me?"
Prince:?
Then the emperor said, "Such a big incident happened in Xiaojiu's fiefdom, we should comfort her. Prince, you are not as considerate as your sisters."
Prince: ...
He nodded stiffly.
The emperor looked at the eunuch and said, "What other performances are there in the world that can amuse people? Since Xiaojiu likes to watch it, go find some and arrange some for the crown prince and the third prince. We can't let the princesses take the spotlight, my princes must also perform well."
The eunuch's pupils trembled again and again: ...
Prince: ...
…
Everyone in the Great Xia Palace is either entertaining their families in colorful clothes or doing "daily tasks", and in their spare time they just eat melons.
The distant Daxia army, with the assistance of various "buffs".
They had successfully crossed the border of Chen State, stationed troops near Chu State, and successfully annexed two cities.
Every race track in Daxia is harmonious and beautiful.
However, the countries that are opposed to Daxia, especially the Chu State which is now being targeted by Daxia, are in a state of panic and disbelief.
Especially in the recent days of the Chu State court meetings, the court officials would reflect on themselves three times:
"When will your Majesty attend court? Is your Majesty in good health?"
"How did Daxia break through the border of Chen State and come to Chu State? Was it Daxia's garrison troops or Chen State troops disguised as Daxia? Did any city on the border of Chu State fall?"
"Does Daxia really want to attack Chu? Or is it "another purpose"? "
"How many troops did Daxia send?"
…
Even the Fourth Prince of Chu, who was actively seizing power in the court, felt that the situation was out of control.
After the court session, he came to a large courtyard which was only one street away from the imperial palace.
There are a lot of guards patrolling in teams of three here. In name they are there for protection, but in reality they are also a form of guarding.
The fourth prince of Chu gave the gatekeeper his badge and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he was hit in the chest by a Cuju ball.
The maidservant and eunuch beside her immediately knelt down in a hurry and saluted: "Your Highness, I am sorry for the offense. I hope Your Highness will forgive me..."
Only the woman who blew the ball snorted, said sorry coldly, and left without looking back.
If this had happened a few days ago, the Fourth Prince of Chu would have definitely chased after her and pestered her, but he was not in the mood now. After instructing the maid to serve the woman well, the Fourth Prince of Chu turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
About a cup of tea later, the fourth prince of Chu came to a locked courtyard.
As the steward unlocked the door, the Fourth Prince of Chu walked in. Following the increasingly strong scent of Zen incense, he came to a small Taoist temple and sat down next to the Grand Master of Chu who was meditating with his eyes closed.
The Grand Master of Chu State did not blink an eye.
The fourth prince of Chu did not say a word, but just picked up the teapot and started pouring tea.
After he filled the cup with tea for the second time, the Grand Master of Chu State opened his eyes and said softly, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, it's time to cultivate your mind."
The fourth prince of Chu put down the teapot, handed the cup over and said, "Grand Imperial Master, I also want to cultivate my mind, but as a prince, where can I cultivate my mind?"
The Grand Master of Chu said calmly, "Anywhere is fine, if you want."
The fourth prince of Chu did not speak.
The Grand Master of Chu just tasted the tea slowly and leisurely.
In the end, the fourth prince of Chu State gave a bitter smile and said, "Grand Imperial Master, do you think Xia State is really that brave? Will it attack Chu State first?"
The Grand Master of Chu was stunned: "I thought that the Fourth Prince was still confused about that woman."
