Chapter 384 A Fight Broke Out
Lin Anyuan looked at Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing devoured a duck leg without any regard for his image.
The monarch he followed, though he often seemed unreliable, was a wise ruler.
Prince Ning stood up, pointed at Emperor Jing's nose, and started cursing, "You're just pretending to be generous. Are you fake or not? Just wait until you die, and he lets his own son take the throne. You'll probably be so angry that you'll want to crawl out of your coffin."
"He beats your son and abuses your confidants. Let's see if you can still be so nonchalant then!"
Emperor Jing swallowed a mouthful of meat. "Anyway, when I close my eyes and can't see anymore, if his son can sit steadily in a wheelchair, that's his son's ability. Anyway, your descendants will have no chance of the throne."
Prince Ning was furious. "Get out! Get out of here!"
"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the emperor. I can come and go as I please. It's none of your business to point fingers."
"But since my brother doesn't welcome me, I'll be leaving now. Take good care of yourself!"
After speaking, Emperor Jing strode out the door with his head held high and chest out.
Lin Anyuan glanced at Prince Ning, then took the duck leg and followed him.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Prince Ning was so angry that he picked up the roast duck on the table and was about to throw it away.
Suddenly, he paused, then thought that one shouldn't go against food.
He sat down, picked up a duck wing, and started gnawing on it as if he were eating Emperor Jing's flesh.
Environment truly shapes a person.
If it were the same roast duck from before, he wouldn't have even glanced at it. But now that the situation is against him, what else can he do but eat it?
"Prince Ning must be furious."
Upon leaving the palace, one could see withered yellow leaves outside, and in the distance, vast fields of ripe corn.
Emperor Jing truly made the most of every piece of land; since he ascended the throne, the previously empty national treasury is now basically full.
At least when natural disasters occur, disaster relief grain can be distributed. Although it is still very difficult and many people have not yet lived a good life, it is much better than before.
"He deserves it, he's made me angry quite a bit before anyway,"
"The fact that I'm angry with him now shows that fortunes change, and this year it's my turn."
Emperor Jing was in a good mood, and as he walked, he even hummed a little tune.
"Your Majesty, what I say is true; military power should be taken back."
Now that the capital is stable, his control of a large army makes all the ministers wary that he might plot to seize power, making the throne unstable.
Emperor Jing clicked his tongue. "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"What I said is true."
Lin Anyuan wanted to say something more, but Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the snack street and buy some food for your mother to take back."
Lin Anyuan accompanied Emperor Jing throughout the entire day.
Emperor Jing, just like an ordinary old man, strolled around East Street and looked around West Street, and even bought a talking parrot.
When we returned to the palace at sunset, the carriages were packed to the brim, almost overflowing.
Lin Anyuan sat on the edge of the carriage, taking the driver's place.
Emperor Jing sat in the carriage, crammed together with a load of goods.
Back at the palace gate, Eunuch Li was already waiting anxiously. Upon seeing the carriage, he hurriedly ran over.
"Lord Lin, shall this old servant help you a bit?"
Lin Anyuan jumped down, "I wouldn't dare trouble you, Father-in-law."
Emperor Jing, holding a parrot in his hand, turned to look at Lin Anyuan and asked, "Shall we go in together?"
Lin Anyuan said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Lady is waiting for me to have dinner."
"Yes, you have your wife and children, and I have mine. Let's each go home and see our own wives and children."
"Aren't you going to take any of these things back with you?"
Emperor Jing stroked his chin and looked at the parrot in his hand.
"I only want this."
Lin Anyuan took a wooden toy from the carriage; the mechanism inside was very ingenious.
This was the only one left when we bought it, and Lin Anyuan was too embarrassed to take it. But now that Emperor Jing has told him to take it, don't blame him for taking it.
Emperor Jing said, "You little rascal, I can tell you've been holding back a good word. I was going to take this back for my son to play with, but since you want it, you can take it."
In my heart, I added, "You are also my son."
Lin Anyuan smiled and took his leave, and then he heard Eunuch Li's voice behind him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has asked you three times today. This old servant said you went out with Lord Lin, and only then was she relieved."
"Yes, the Empress is just worried about me. Hurry back and let the Empress see what's new."
"Where's that kid Yuanzhou?"
"I went to Lord Ye's place to play with Prince Lin."
Lin Anyuan listened intently and couldn't help but smile, quickening his pace home.
Lin Anyuan couldn't laugh that night.
The wooden toy he brought caused his son and the crown prince to fight.
The crown prince cried and returned to the palace in tears.
"Mingqian, do you know you're wrong?"
Ye Wan looked at the Crown Prince with a serious expression.
Lin Mingqian's face was tense. "I did nothing wrong."
"Shouldn't I play with the things my dad brought back first? Why should I let him have them?"
He had just formed an idea when the Crown Prince snatched it away, and in a fit of anger, he shoved the Crown Prince.
That crybaby started crying, what a spineless guy, especially since he's an uncle.
Ye Wan tried to make her tone sound gentler, "The Crown Prince is the ruler, and you are the subject. You should give way to the Crown Prince."
The two had always gotten along well, and this was the first time they had argued like this.
“Then I’m still the nephew, and he’s the uncle. Why doesn’t the uncle give way to me, the nephew?”
"If you can beat me, I'll admit defeat. But if you only know how to use your status to intimidate me, then I won't accept that!"
"If you only know how to indulge him and go along with him, will such a ruler grow into a qualified monarch?"
Lin Mingqian's expression was serious, exactly the same as when Lin Anyuan was silent.
"Go and reflect on your actions in the corner." Ye Wan had a headache.
She really didn't know how to teach her child right now, but the key was that everything Lin Mingqian said made sense.
"Wanwan, don't be angry."
Lin Anyuan massaged Ye Wan's shoulders.
Ye Wan was a little worried. "This kid has always been quite easy to manage. This is the first time he's given me a headache."
She wasn't afraid that her son would go astray, but she was afraid that with the power and influence their family had now, they might raise him to be a spoiled brat.
"I'll go tell them, you rest."
After finishing his speech, Lin Anyuan went to personally teach his son.
After a night, no one knew what the father and son had talked about. The next day, Lin Anyuan was going to take Lin Mingqian to the palace to apologize to the Crown Prince.
Ye Wan also went.
Although she had connections with the Empress, she couldn't be ungrateful.
Emperor Jing laughed heartily after hearing this, "What's so strange about children fighting? I also fought with my brothers a lot when I was a child. It was fine when I won, but it was quite embarrassing when I lost."
"I have something to say to you two in the Hall of Diligent Governance."
Ye Wan and Lin Anyuan exchanged a glance and followed Emperor Jing inside. As soon as they entered, Emperor Jing dropped a bombshell.
