Chapter 1769: Persuasion 2 (February Monthly Ticket Plus 3)
Yang Heshu said calmly, "Father and my uncle are worried and confused, thinking that His Majesty loves Your Highness. But father forgot one thing: Your Highness is His Majesty's son, and the Crown Prince is also His Majesty's son. I think that in His Majesty's heart, Your Highness and the Crown Prince are brothers, and he is his son. Only then are you family."
"If he knew that Your Highness chose to deceive your father and brother for your uncle, His Majesty and the Crown Prince would be heartbroken no matter how much they love you. The human heart is the most vulnerable in this world, even between father and son."
The Fifth Prince fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked up at Yang Heshu in confusion. Hesitancy was present, but he couldn't help but ask, "Will it hurt my uncle's feelings if I disobey you?"
Yang Heshu sighed and said, "I'm doing this out of filial piety. When parents make mistakes, we should correct them. This is filial piety. Otherwise, knowing that his actions will harm the Queen and His Highness, as well as the entire Yang family, and not doing anything, I'm afraid that when disaster strikes in the future, my father will find it difficult to control himself. This is unfilial."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince nodded and said, "I understand, cousin. Thank you for reminding me. I know what to do now."
Yang Heshu looked at him gently, patted his shoulder, and sighed deeply.
Hearing this sigh, the Fifth Prince felt a sense of sympathy, so he said, "Cousin, I heard that you were also implicated in this matter and are about to be demoted and exiled?"
Yang Heshu smiled gently and said, "It's not a big deal, just starting over."
He looked at the Fifth Prince, and after a moment's silence, he patted his shoulder again and said, "This matter was the fault of my great-uncle and my uncle. They gave birth to He Nian shortly after you were born, but His Majesty had already appointed the Crown Prince by then."
"The Crown Prince is now studying hard again. He has received a lot of praise from the court over the past six months. Now that he has a son, his position is solid. Even Prince Gong has retreated a step. Your uncle shouldn't have such delusions."
The Fifth Prince's face turned pale, and he trembled his lips as he asked, "So, my uncle is still...?"
"No," Yang Heshu said coldly, "If it was for His Highness, would he not have asked for the consent of the Queen and His Highness?"
"Then why did he..."
"If His Highness ascends the throne, he will be the emperor's uncle," Yang Heshu said bluntly, "If his uncle doesn't hold an official position in the court, his highest status will be as a relative of the emperor."
The Fifth Prince's face turned pale. After a long pause, he looked at Yang Heshu and asked, "Cousin, don't you want to be a relative by marriage?"
Yang Heshu didn't answer whether he wanted to or not, but said meaningfully: "With my ability, it doesn't matter whether I do it or not. It depends on whether Your Highness has the opportunity."
So it’s because he didn’t have the chance.
The fifth prince smiled bitterly. Although he didn't have that idea himself, he still couldn't help but feel hit.
Yang Heshu patted his shoulder again and said with a smile, "Let's go, cousin will treat you to venison."
The fifth prince felt a little better and looked at the letter torn in half in his hand.
Yang Heshu held out his hand and said, "Leave it to me, so that you won't be a burden if you carry it."
The fifth prince gave him all the letter papers in his hand.
Yang Heshu folded it carefully and put it into his purse. When he arrived at the viewing tower, he saw a lively feast going on inside. Manbao and others were teaching Mingda Changyu and the Sixth Prince how to barbecue.
As soon as Yang Heshu went upstairs, Changyu, who was eating heartily, choked. She immediately snatched the handkerchief from Mingda's hand to wipe her mouth, then straightened her back, raised her neck slightly, and began to bite the meat in small bites. She also covered her mouth with the handkerchief before starting to chew.
Mingda: ...
Madam Yang: ...
Everyone: ...
Everyone looked at her silently and could only lower their heads to look at the meat in their hands. Mingda came to her senses and realized that she had been burned.
Bai Erlang sat next to her and handed her a handkerchief when he saw her.
Mingda took it, thanked him, and continued eating. He also made room for his fifth brother who had returned. "Fifth brother, Lord Yang's venison is especially delicious."
Chang Yu, who was being reserved, nodded repeatedly.
Madam Yang stood up and pulled Yang Heshu into the room. "Are you hungry, my husband? I baked a few pieces. Try them and see how they taste."
Chang Yu's eyes fell on Madam Yang, and he said with some reserve, "I want to have a piece too."
Madam Yang smiled generously at Chang Yu, picked up a piece for her, and said with a smile: "Princess, try the taste of my baked ones."
Manbao, who was standing by, couldn't help but move away from Madam Yang and Changyu, and sat directly next to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan looked up at the two of them and let her take it.
Mrs. Tang was no longer surprised. Changyu was just a little girl, and Cui had no idea how many people she had dealt with who were more powerful than her.
Yang Heshu sat down next to Madam Yang, took the plate from her, nodded slightly to the two princesses, and then went to talk to the Sixth Prince, "Sixth Prince, you are still young, you can't eat too much barbecue."
The Sixth Prince and Tang Run were enjoying their meal, and Lord Tang, who was feeding them, was also enjoying himself. Upon hearing this, they all glanced at the plate in front of the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince pointed at Bai Shan and the others and said, "They ate a lot too."
Bai Shan: "We are older than you."
Manbao: "I'm a doctor."
Bai Jilang: "I'm strong."
Mingda couldn't help but look up at the three of them.
The Sixth Prince looked at Tang Run who was sitting next to him.
Tang Run stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and quietly moved away from him, closer to his father. "I, I often eat barbecue."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Tang had already snatched the plate from his hand. After glaring at Mr. Tang, she took her son over and said, "You've eaten enough today. Don't eat any more."
Tang Run looked at his father with tears in his eyes. His father expressed sympathy for him, then ate all the meat on his plate and expressed his loyalty to his wife.
Tang Run was very angry and looked at everyone with tears in his eyes.
Manbao felt sorry for him and looked at Mrs. Tang hesitantly, not daring to give him anything to eat in front of his mother.
Not only Tang Run, but also the meat on the Sixth Prince's plate could not be added. The Fifth Prince restrained him, "You rarely eat these in the palace. What if you get an upset stomach?"
Upon hearing this, Manbao felt that he had to fulfill his duty as an imperial physician, so he said to Mingda, "You should eat less too. Your stomach is worse than the Sixth Prince's."
Mingda: ...
She stared at the plate in Manbao's hand and asked, "Shouldn't you lead by example?"
Manbao looked at the meat on the plate and was reluctant to eat it. Bai Shan took the initiative to take two pieces from her plate and ate them, leaving only one piece for her. "That's good. You don't have to worry about it."
Manbao: ...
Seeing that four of the children were about to cry, Yang Heshu smiled and said, "Let's move to the dining room. This barbecue is just for fun."
Changyu, who had been peeking at Yang Heshu and forgot to eat the meat, suddenly felt a little regretful. He thought the meat on the shelf was so delicious, so he didn't bother to peek at Yang Heshu, but stared straight at the meat on the shelf.
See you tomorrow
