[Emperor Chapter 2] The Sixth Prince

02

Rong Fei is an old friend who has been with the current emperor since the Qiandi Palace. She has the fifth princess Jingyi as her child. Although she is not favored now, the emperor still treats her with respect. This can be seen from the fact that the sixth prince born to the late Meng Guiren was also fostered under her name.

"Godfather, why didn't we see the sixth prince when we went there before?"

Walking on the palace road, Chu Jiao asked carefully.

The fifth princess is only a child now, and the heroine has not yet entered the palace to accompany him. All the plots will not start until nearly ten years later. She has no idea of ​​the hero's current identity. She only knows that he is a prince, but she doesn't know his ranking or where he is.

The original novel only mentioned how difficult the hero's childhood was, in order to explain his treacherous and overbearing personality after he ascended the throne as an adult, and his obsession with the heroine. She sorted out her memories and felt that perhaps only the Sixth Prince, whose biological mother had passed away and was fostered elsewhere, met this condition.

"! Be careful not to mention him when you go to Qiuxi Palace! Even the emperor hates that prince. Concubine Rong can raise him but will not let him hurt the emperor's eyes, so of course you can't see him." Zhang Shun warned in a low voice.

"Can we all know the emperor's likes and dislikes?" Chu Jiao felt strange.

"Who made the Sixth Prince born with heterochromatic eyes? His appearance is as weird as a demon. He scared Lady Meng to death the moment he was born. People in the palace say that the Sixth Prince is unlucky to his father and mother. If it weren't for the Emperor's kindness and Concubine Rong's plea, the Sixth Prince might have already..." Zhang Shun made a gesture of wiping his neck to scare Chu Jiao.

"Hiss." Chu Jiao shrank her neck and stopped asking. She just thought to herself that the original novel described the male protagonist as handsome and handsome, which had nothing to do with his weird appearance. But this "born with heterochromatic eyes"... It sounds a bit like the setting in the original novel's flashback killing plot.

Chu Jiao made up her mind that she must find a chance to meet the Sixth Prince to see if he is the person she is looking for.

While the two were talking, they arrived at Qiuxi Palace.

As a steward, Zhang Shun would not go out in person under normal circumstances. He would only go in person when the emperor

wanted to give gifts. It was the coldest time of the year, but the Prince of Pingxi came thousands of miles away to offer fresh winter strawberries. The emperor was very pleased. He enjoyed some himself and ordered some to be sent to the empress dowager. The rest was given to several concubines of high rank in the harem, and Concubine Rong was among them.

"Empress Rong," Zhang Shun bowed and said with a smile, "These are winter strawberries sent from Yunnan. Each one is big and plump, sweet and delicious. The Emperor is thinking of you, so he asked me to bring them to you to have a taste!"

Empress Rong was as her name suggests, virtuous and elegant, and looked very gentle. She sat on the couch, raised her hand with a smile, and signaled the senior palace maid beside her to take the food box from Chu Jiao's hand.

"Xiao Shunzi, you are the best at talking," she picked up a strawberry, tasted it, and nodded, "Not bad, this strawberry is originally a product of spring, and now it can be eaten in winter, it has a different flavor."

"Isn't it? I have been in the Shangshenjian for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a rare thing in winter. Don't be afraid of your laughter, my eyes are wide open!"

Chu Jiao watched Zhang Shun coax Rong Fei to smile with just a few words, and received many rewards. She was very impressed in her heart and silently made up her mind to learn how to be a competent eunuch. This palace is different from the world she has experienced before. If she is not careful, she may not complete the task and lose her head.

"Okay," Rong Fei ate a few and put them down, "Give them evenly to the two young masters. Du Ya, go and see if the fifth princess has woken up from her nap."

Although the emperor said that the gift was given to the concubine, the emperor does not have many children now. In addition to the crown prince, there are only four princes and two princesses, and Rong Fei has raised two of them in her own palace.

Although Rong Fei only wanted to leave the good ones for her daughters, the sixth prince was still fostered under her name. Although she didn't take care of him on weekdays, if she didn't even care about him, she would definitely be criticized.

"."

The three of them left the hall, and Du Ya took a bowl and picked and chose in the food box for a long time, taking out the broken and undercooked ones.

Chu Jiao thought Du Ya was going to throw these away, but unexpectedly, she stuffed them into her hands.

"Here, take them to the Sixth Prince."

Chu Jiao was worried that she would not have the chance, so she immediately agreed, "Okay, Sister Du Ya." After saying that, she ran away without giving Zhang Shun a chance to refuse.

Following the direction pointed by the maid of Qiuxi Palace, Chu Jiao walked around several corridors. The further she went, the quieter it became. Finally, she finally saw a child who looked like the Sixth Prince outside the westernmost side room of Qiuxi Palace. The

reason why he looked like him was because he was squatting on the grass beside the palace wall with his back to Chu Jiao, stuffing something into his mouth. His robes were dirty, and he looked nothing like a prince except for his big head and thin body.

"Sixth Prince, I've brought you some strawberries."

Chu Jiao said to him softly.

When the child turned around slowly, Chu Jiao saw his appearance and almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
