Chapter 45 I Like It Very Much
The emperor did not summon Prince Heng and Prince Lin into the palace. Instead, the moment the fourth prince entered the palace, he brought him to the imperial study. Before the emperor asked, the fourth prince started chattering about what had happened today.
Prince Heng forced the man to drink and insisted on going to see the koi. All of these things were initiated by Prince Heng himself and had nothing to do with Prince Lin.
"Father, my third brother looks at me very fiercely. Did I say something wrong?" The fourth prince huddled in the emperor's arms, tilted his head back, and looked worried.
"No, you did great."
The Emperor gently stroked the Fourth Prince's hair. A child of a few years old would never lie. He issued an order, "Since Prince Heng is so brave, he will stay in the Beast Garden for one night."
Prince Heng, who had not even arrived at Prince Heng's Palace, fainted again when he received the imperial edict.
There are tigers, lions and other animals in the zoo. If he stays there for a night and just listens to the roars of the animals, will he be able to survive?
In Weiyang Palace, when Concubine Shu received the news, she felt her eyes go dark. Was her son here to collect a debt?
"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to ask the Emperor to revoke his order. The prince can't bear to stay in the Zoo for one night." Shuang Lan said soothingly.
"Aren't we going to celebrate Prince Lin's birthday today? Concubine Gao is following Prince Heng. Doesn't she know that Prince Heng can't get drunk?"
Concubine Shu gnashed her teeth in anger: "If Prince Lin hadn't planned this, I wouldn't believe it!"
Although she was angry, Concubine Shu went to the imperial study immediately to ask the emperor to revoke his decision. Unfortunately, she didn't even see the emperor.
"Where is Prince Lin? He didn't get any punishment?" Concubine Shu returned to the palace in a daze and asked Shuang Lan.
"have."
Shuang Lan's words made Concubine Shu's eyes light up: "He was also punished to go to the Hundred Beasts Garden?"
"no."
Shuang Lan hesitated to speak, then said, "Prince Lin was punished to copy the 'Rules for Disciples'."
Concubine Shu was waiting for the sequel, but who knew that it would be gone?
How is this different from no punishment?
Shuang Lan wanted to bury her head in the ground, fearing that she would be seen by Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu took a deep breath and said, "Go, send someone to the Beast Garden to take care of it, so that the prince will suffer less."
"Yes." Shuang Lan responded and ran away quickly.
Lin Wangfu.
When Prince Lin received the copy of "The Rules of Disciples", he did not hesitate and went directly into the study to copy the book. After copying it, he had someone send it directly to the palace.
Inside the study, the maid who was nearly molested today was kneeling on the ground: "Your Highness, I heard Prince Heng say that Your Highness doesn't even dare to be the Crown Prince."
"Licorice, well done."
After Prince Lin finished praising and rewarding the prince with silver, he started thinking in the study room, it was obvious that Prince Heng wanted to become the crown prince. Prince Heng, who always loved drinking, actually spoke without thinking after getting drunk?
After the drunken farce of Prince Heng in the afternoon, everyone seemed absent-minded at the birthday banquet specially prepared for Prince Lin in the evening.
Especially Aunt Li and Aunt Hai, they were not at the scene, they only knew that Prince Heng was drunk and almost favored a maid, which became something they wanted to know.
Unfortunately, Shen Lingshu kept silent at the scene, but Concubine Fang found out from the maid, but of course she couldn't tell anyone else about Prince Heng scolding the prince.
So, neither Concubine Fang nor Shen Lingshu spoke, and Concubine Li and Concubine Hai wanted to ask but didn't want to ask any more. In the end, they could only stare at Shen Lingshu's belly, feeling envious and jealous.
It’s bad enough that she’s pregnant, but why are she pregnant with twins?
Can't you give her one?
Aunt Li wished she could steal a baby from her belly with her eyes.
"Your Majesty."
When Concubine Fang's voice sounded, Aunt Li and Hai's fiery gazes instantly fell on Prince Lin. The jade crown and the black clothes he wore set off the prince's tall and straight figure, making him look like a handsome man.
Cold and distant eyes, unattainable.
"Congratulations to His Majesty on his birthday. I have specially prepared a gift for him."
As soon as Concubine Fang opened her mouth, Aunt Gui came with a gift, a red coral ornament. The festive red coral under the bright moonlight gave people a visual enjoyment just by looking at it.
"I respectfully present this red jade treasure tree and wish His Majesty long-lasting blessings and everlasting good fortune." After saying this, Concubine Fang stood aside with a smile. She had spent a huge amount of money to buy this red coral just to make it stand out at the prince's birthday banquet.
Seeing that everyone was shocked by the beauty of the red coral, Concubine Fang's eyes flashed with pride.
"reward."
Prince Lin looked at the red coral and said, "Qingwu, keep this red coral well."
Such expensive red coral is such a waste.
With the generous gift from Concubine Fang, the inner garment embroidered by Concubine Li herself seemed a little shabby.
"Happy birthday, Your Highness." Aunt Li handed over the inner garment she had embroidered herself, shyly and timidly. She hoped that by wearing this inner garment, the prince would always think of her.
Prince Lin said: "Reward."
"Auntie Li's needlework is good, even better than that of the embroiderer. However, the pattern seems to be the same as last year?" Concubine Fang said with a smile.
"They are not the same." Aunt Li quickly shook her head and said, "Last year I embroidered the Ruyi cloud pattern, and this year I embroidered the twined branches pattern."
Concubine Fang looked at her as she explained seriously, with a hint of contempt in her eyes. Then, she realized something was wrong. The prince seemed to have a faint smile on his lips?
Could it be that the prince prefers her free underwear?
Next, it was the sick Aunt Lin, the blessed amulet Aunt Lin gave her, and Hai Jiaren... she was actually singing?
Hai Jiaren was wearing a light green dress today, which made her look lively. Coupled with her heavenly voice, not to mention the prince, even the women felt that Hai Jiaren was radiating light at this moment.
When the song was over, the beautiful lady from the sea bowed gracefully, and when she raised her eyes, her face was filled with radiance.
"Good." Prince Lin clapped his hands, and there was admiration in his eyes.
"Auntie Hai's voice is more beautiful than a lark."
Shen Lingshu said sincerely that there is no ugly woman who can enter the backyard of the palace. Each one has her own style of beauty. Aunt Li is good at dancing, Hai Jiaren has an outstanding singing voice, Aunt Lin is weak and graceful, and even Concubine Fang is dignified and generous.
When this compliment came out, Prince Lin couldn't help but take a look. The praise in her eyes was sincere, not just perfunctory. He asked, "Does Lingshu think it sounds good too?"
"It sounds nice. Aunt Hai's voice is like the sound of nature, so it's naturally nice to hear." Shen Lingshu smiled and nodded.
hypocritical.
Aunt Li was so tired of rolling her eyes that she smiled and changed the subject: "I wonder what birthday gift Aunt Chen gave me?"
Besides, Hai Jiaren, the prince’s soul is about to be seduced away by her!
If she had known this earlier, she would have danced for the prince today and not given him any underwear.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Lingshu. Everyone knew that she was pregnant with twins. She was the last one to know about the prince's birthday, so... she shouldn't be able to give him anything good, right?
