After His Majesty left, His Highness went straight back to Zhaozheng Hall to review memorials after the court session. He did not study as hard as before.
Your Highness was not like this before. You used to be busy every day and had no free time.
Although His Highness is favored, he still has to learn and endure hardships.
Empress Xuan also said that when the prince was a child, his hands were covered with blisters from practicing swordplay and fighting, and he couldn't even lift chopsticks when eating. His Majesty also issued an order that anyone who dared to give in to the prince would be executed according to Xuanzhao law.
Every time Your Highness defeats a group of instructors, His Majesty will replace them with a new group. Your Highness has never complained and has always gotten up early to study. Why has he become so lazy since returning from Qi Lan?
How should he report this to His Majesty?
"Your Highness, I'm coming in." There were two knocks on the palace door, and the voices of Ye An and Ye Chen were heard from outside the door.
"Um."
"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you into the palace." Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in.
Xuan Yanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Emperor Qi didn't agree?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "No, Emperor Qi didn't say much, but he asked Qi Qingchen to follow His Majesty to Xuanzhao."
Xuan Yanyu frowned and walked out, "Bring the memorial and go into the palace."
…
Xuanwang Palace-Imperial Study.
Xuan Yanyu took the memorial from Ye Chen and threw it on the imperial desk.
"My son, I have brought you a problem. Do you think you can spare some time to deal with him for a few days?" Prince Xuan hurriedly added, "If you are not satisfied, you can get him. Father has already prepared a countermeasure."
"I know you are troublesome. Why did you bring it back?" Xuan Yanyu walked around the imperial desk and sat on the golden throne.
"You little brat, what's your attitude towards your father?" Prince Xuan patted his shoulder with little strength, "Why did you bring her back? It's because of you. The Emperor Qi didn't care that Xuan Zhao didn't give him face and directly decided to marry the girl from the Yan family."
"Emperor Qi proposed that his son come to Xuanzhao to study and exchange ideas with you, but Father rejected him. Isn't it obvious that he looked down on Qi Lan?"
Xuan Yanyu twirled the memorial on his fingertips and smiled brightly, "Hasn't father always looked down on Qi Lan?"
"How come you are learning from the Imperial Master? Have you forgotten everything? You may look down on me, but you need to be friendly to me on the surface and not be conceited. Qi Lan is not weak either."
"It's far worse than Xuan Zhao." Xuan Yanyu said truthfully.
"Get up." Prince Xuan grabbed Xuan Yanyu's collar, lifted him off the throne, and sat on it himself. "Father has always told you not to be conceited since you were a child!"
Qi Lan is indeed far inferior to Xuan Zhao, but we can’t let this brat get too complacent, otherwise, there will be problems.
"I understand." Xuan Yanyu didn't want to argue about this issue with King Xuan anymore.
“Then my son, can you be obedient and appease Prince Qi Lan for a few days, right?” Prince Xuan rubbed his brows.
"No, there's no time." Xuan Yanyu naturally took the snacks that Eunuch Feng had prepared for Prince Xuan.
It looks pretty good. Yan Yuning should like it.
"What do you mean you don't have time? Didn't the emperor promise you that you would go to Qi Lan for two years as promised? He would let you continue to be lazy! And at the beginning of next year, he would let you succeed to the throne after your wedding? There are still more than ten months of free time. How come you don't have time?"
"No time means no time." Xuan Yanyu said seriously, "Father, I am very busy."
Prince Xuan pinched his philtrum, frightening Eunuch Feng so much that he hurried forward to rub his back, and even said boldly, "Your Highness, please stop talking. What if His Majesty gets angry?"
"Put my cakes down for me."
