Chapter 353 Both Father and Son Are Angry
On such a major matter, Zhao Liya did not dare and did not have the heart to go against her mother, as her mother was doing it for her own good.
There was no choice but to force myself to do it.
Only when Zhou Hansheng came could I hide away.
Unfortunately, time is so limited.
When she was called away, Zhou Hansheng could only watch helplessly. He didn't have the guts to offend his mother-in-law.
After all, he felt quite guilty at this time. According to the rules, he and Zhao Liya should not meet again unless there is something important after they got engaged. However, they had never had any scruples so far. Zhou Hansheng came here every few days.
Not afraid of being laughed at at all.
Some people even impeached Zhao Xiang for this, saying that he did not manage his family well.
Of course, Zhao Xiang would not admit that his son-in-law came to visit him to ask for advice. What was the problem?
Did Zhou Hansheng meet his daughter in the mansion? How did outsiders know and how could they be so sure?
After being exiled, Zhao Xiang no longer cared much about such matters. Besides, he knew everything about his own daughter and Zhou Hansheng.
They are open and honest, much better than those hypocritical people who speak righteously in front of others but commit thieves and prostitutes behind their backs.
In the end, the emperor downplayed the matter and made the final decision, and no one dared to mention it again.
Even if Zhou Hansheng went to the Zhao family three times a day, no one would say anything.
However, the wedding date had been set and was only a few months away, so Deng naturally did not allow them to see each other again.
Zhou Hansheng had no choice but to obey.
The emperor even laughed and joked about this.
The emperor had suspected that Zhou Hansheng, Zhao Xiang and other "prince gangs" were secretly planning something, but seeing that they were so anxious and concerned about this marriage and devoted themselves to it, he felt relieved.
If they were really planning something big, why would they care about their children's marriages?
After all, compared with the prince's important affairs, what does the marriage of children matter?
Zhao Xiang loves his daughter, and Zhou Hansheng values his fiancée. These are not things that can be pretended in a day or two, so their thoughts are really on this.
What made the emperor even more angry was his beloved son.
How could the Second Prince be willing to stay at home and study rules and regulations, and then earnestly complete the homework assigned by the teachers and reflect on his mistakes?
He didn't do his homework at all. He was too lazy to do it himself. Anyway, he had staff at home, so he could just grab two people to do it.
The staff suggested that he copy it, but he reluctantly did it for two days before becoming impatient.
The emperor is picking on him. What’s the point of him copying it or not?
Not to mention not copying, he was too lazy to even listen to the lectures given by the masters. He would listen a little occasionally, but most of the time he didn't even show up.
The old masters in the Hanlin Academy could only accept it and did not dare to express any opinions.
If anyone dared to object, would the Second Prince forgive them? This was someone who would hit people when he got angry.
If I really get beaten up by him, who with their old arms and legs can bear it?
Even if the emperor gives rewards and compensation, it will still be uncomfortable!
Not only uncomfortable, but also embarrassing
Naturally, these things happening in the Second Prince's mansion could not be hidden from the Emperor's eyes and ears.
When collecting the homework for the first time, the emperor still tried hard to convince himself to suppress his anger. He thought to himself that this child was raised by him and he was also responsible for his behavior. How could he change it all at once?
You must have confidence in him and be patient. Teach him well and talk to him more. Slowly he will change for the better.
The emperor's teaching with a pleasant face could even be considered as comfort, asking the second prince to continue learning from the masters and not to throw tantrums.
In order to build up his confidence, he was even given a pair of white jade paperweights, several famous calligraphy and paintings, and jade antiques as encouragement.
However, seeing his father's attitude, the second prince showed no intention of changing his mind. Instead, he became very proud.
He knew that his father still loved him and was reluctant to teach him a lesson or scold him. Look, isn't this the best proof?
The second prince is becoming more and more unscrupulous!
So, when all the news from the Second Prince's Mansion reached the emperor's ears, he was almost angry to death!
This is truly a rebellious child who cannot be taught! He completely ignored his words!
The Emperor was originally a domineering and overbearing person. After all, he was the supreme ruler. When did he ever need to restrain his temper and give in to others? Who had the guts to do that? Did he no longer want the head on his neck?
He really had more patience with this son than he had ever had before.
Unexpectedly, he was unable to understand his good intentions at all, and instead became even more unscrupulous!
The emperor was furious!
A fierce quarrel broke out between the emperor and the second prince in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
The Second Prince was under house arrest and forced to attend classes and do homework. His father's attitude had clearly softened, hadn't he? But for no apparent reason, he got angry at him again. What was this? Was he being moody towards him?
He changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book.
He may turn against me once, but there will naturally be a second and third time. Who knows when he will scold me?
Father has really changed!
He always says that it is for his own good, but the result is getting worse and worse.
All excuses!
The second prince suddenly remembered that his father had treated the crown prince in the same way before. He always said that it was for the crown prince's good, but the crown prince was trembling with fear and walking on thin ice in front of him, not daring to say a word. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be severely reprimanded by his father.
Isn't it the same for him now?
But the second prince is not the crown prince. The second prince absolutely cannot tolerate the humiliation that the crown prince can endure.
Why?
He would rather fight to the death than endure this humiliation!
So, the Second Prince began arguing with the Emperor. Both father and son were filled with rage, and their words were naturally unpleasant, and their tone was even worse. As the conversation went on, the two became increasingly stiff, excessive, and hurtful. The Emperor was so angry that he grabbed the pen holder on the imperial desk and threw it at the Second Prince, cursing, "Rebellious son!"
Although he called the second prince a "rebellious son", the emperor actually felt very sorry for him. Otherwise, he would not only have a pen holder, but also a copper paperweight and a fine porcelain teacup at hand, but he did not smash them.
Of course, even if he smashed it, the Second Prince would not let him hit it.
If he wanted to hit others, they would not dare to avoid him. At most, they would dare to move slightly away. But the Second Prince would definitely not stand there and wait to be hit.
Even though it was a pen holder, the second prince did not stand there waiting to be hit, but jumped away nimbly to avoid it.
"Father! You——"
