Chapter 208 This little prince is too cunning (1 update)
Lu Chengtian reviewed the memorial until late at night. At the end of the year, he basically had no time to enter the harem and rested in his own bedroom.
It was good enough to sleep for two hours a day.
Tonight, the wind was howling.
The charcoal fire in Chengqian Hall was burning very brightly. Lu Chengtian did not feel cold, but he could still feel the cold wind at night.
The next morning, it was covered with snow outside. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which was higher than a person's calf.
The heavy snow that had been falling all night obviously had no intention of stopping, but it was even heavier.
Looking at the goose-feather-like snowflakes falling slowly, Lu Chengtian couldn't help but frown. If such heavy snow continued to fall, it would not be good. It would be better to stop as soon as possible.
However, it seemed that the heavens did not hear his voice. After the morning court session, the snow fell even harder.
Along the way, Lu Chengtian's temples were throbbing from the cold wind!
This winter is really too cold.
"Father, the wind is cold and biting. Although government affairs are important, you must take good care of your body!"
The third prince was very worried and quietly handed the hand warmer in his hand to him.
He was very obedient. The prince reminded him last night to make his presence felt more in front of his father.
So, after the morning court session today, he did not go to the Ministry of Works immediately to mix mud with the second and fourth princes, but went to his father to show his filial piety.
Sure enough, Lu Chengtian was very touched. He took the hand warmer handed over by the third prince. A warmth came from his palms, and his heart was warmed up.
He raised his hand and patted the Third Prince on the shoulder, and sighed, "That's thoughtful. Let's go and see your grandmother. It's so cold, I wonder how she's doing in the palace?"
The Third Prince was excited.
Although he was a prince, he didn't get much attention since he was a child. He could only see his father when he assessed his homework.
But even if he met him, he had a second brother who was both civil and military, and an elder brother who was superb in martial arts, so he could only get a little bit of attention.
He would be happy for a long time after getting a decent comment, and then go back to study harder.
As far as he can remember, there has never been such a warm father-son relationship.
I saw more of it on my seventh brother.
The love that my father showed to my seventh brother was beyond the other six brothers combined.
He originally thought that he had already stopped caring, but he didn't expect that just a pat on the shoulder and a casual soothing word would actually move his heart so much.
Lu Chengtian didn't know that his words would cause his son to have a lot of thoughts.
He just spoke out of his feelings.
The palace servants naturally served him very attentively, and the hand warmer was of course prepared, but he felt that he was a man, and he was the emperor, so what was it like for him to hold a hand warmer like a woman?
This was too embarrassing for him as the emperor!
Therefore, he didn't even look at the hand warmer that Dequan brought over, and didn't take it at all.
However, who knows who is cold.
The third brother is still considerate and thinks it's safe.
When delivering the hand warmer, he always turned his back to the person, and because his dragon robe was wide, he hid the hand warmer in his sleeves, so others could not detect it at all.
The two walked together.
"Third brother, I heard that you have a new hobby recently, and even the second brother has been attracted to you. I have been thinking about it and I still can't figure it out. What is the charm of this Heni that attracts you princes so much?"
The third prince: "..."
How can he answer this?
He can say that this is not the charm of Heni, but the charm of the throne!
But can he say this?
The third prince just felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had bad intentions. How could he let him show his presence in front of his father? It was clearly to let him come here to give himself up! The
third prince took a deep breath, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are the first day of the month, don't blame your brother for the fifteenth day!
"Replying to the emperor, it is actually the Crown Prince who likes to play with mud. We just want to know more about the Crown Prince, so we also tried it."
Lu Chengtian frowned slightly. Sure enough, this kid has never been worrying!
Didn't he say that his son, he is a noble prince, how could he like to play with mud?
Thinking of the leisurely life of the Crown Prince during this period, Lu Chengtian felt jealous and said angrily, "The Crown Prince is really getting more and more outrageous!"
The third prince's heart skipped a beat and he regretted it very much!
Didn't he say to do it slowly?
How could he ruin the impression of the Crown Prince?
Didn't this indirectly help the Crown Prince?
The third prince immediately said, "Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and sometimes he naturally has a childish mentality. It will be fine when His Royal Highness grows up." Lu
Chengtian got even angrier, "Humph! He's the Crown Prince! He'll be 13 soon! He's still so playful, how can he be a Crown Prince at all?" The third prince had a headache. It felt like adding insult to injury. He'd better keep his mouth shut. The third prince had been secretly complaining along the way, and he understood the Crown Prince's plan thoroughly! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really treacherous! He must have guessed what would happen today. He had calculated his own concerns, reactions, and countermeasures. He wanted to use himself to stimulate his father and undermine his father's opinion of him. Maybe these few words can't play a decisive role, but, isn't it said that dripping water wears away a stone, and grinding a piece of iron into a needle? Who knew that as time went on, the emperor's resentment towards the crown prince would grow. Would he depose the crown prince? The third prince was secretly upset. How could he have fallen into the trap set by the crown prince? He took a deep breath. Next time, he must be more vigilant against the crown prince. He must not relax just because the crown prince is young, weak, and always smiling.
While the Third Prince was giving himself repeated warnings, they had already arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Then, the two of them stared blankly ahead, their eyes wide open, with the same shocked expression, and so did the palace maids behind them.
At this time, bursts of hearty laughter came from the hall, it was the Queen Mother's voice.
It's so rare, when did my mother become so happy?
Just as Lu Chengtian was puzzled, he saw a familiar silhouette.
The little prince put a string of pink crystals on the Queen Mother's wrist, "Grandmother, this is the most beautiful string of jewelry in my shop, one-of-a-kind!"
"My grandson specially reserved it for you. It looks so beautiful on you, Grandmother!"
The Queen Mother looked at the crystal clear pink beads on her wrist and loved it very much.
"Prince, you are old enough to get married. You should keep such a beautiful bracelet for your future Crown Princess. I am already so old, it is not appropriate for me to wear it?"
"Why is it not appropriate? Who said it is not appropriate? I think it is very appropriate! Which law stipulates that older people cannot wear pink bracelets? I think my grandmother looks the most beautiful in it!"
Lu Zexu kept talking non-stop, making the Empress Dowager laugh repeatedly.
"And this essential oil. I heard from the palace that the Royal Grandmother has not been sleeping well at night recently. When you take a bath, pour one or two drops of this essential oil on it. It can calm your nerves and help you sleep, and it can make you sleep better at night."
He asked his sister to find this specially. He has several bottles ready to share with his girlfriends.
"Okay, okay, I'll try it tonight." As
people get older, they tend to get lonely.
The same goes for the Queen Mother. Concubines often come to her, but they all have a purpose, and that's just to get the favors in the harem.
She doesn't like to pay attention to them.
But the Crown Prince is filial and always comes to talk to her. He never comes empty-handed, and he is definitely the first to get good things.
The Queen Mother now likes the Crown Prince the most.
Lu Chengtian felt even more jealous when he heard this outside. He didn't let the palace people report it and walked in directly.
