"Your Majesty, you have to do something for me." The prince knelt on the ground again, breathing heavily as he spoke. "Your Highness the Crown Prince has punished me privately, and he doesn't take me seriously at all. Does the Crown Prince have the power to punish his subjects at will?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will not be able to convince the people!" The prince gritted his teeth, his teeth itching with hatred. He was in such a mess right now that his gums hurt if he raised his voice a little.
The emperor's face darkened. "What could Xiaoxiao do wrong? Maybe he was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously?"
"Your Majesty." The prince's chest ached with anger. "Look at my face. What did I do wrong? Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to punish me like this? Are you kidding me like this?"
"Should we put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under house arrest and ask him to apologize to me?"
The emperor held the little guy's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will not let Xiaoxiao be confined to his house, and will not let Xiaoxiao apologize."
"Yeah." The little guy nestled pitifully in the arms of the retired emperor, looking like he was bullied by the prince.
"The Emperor wants to protect the Crown Prince?" The prince's eyes could not hide his viciousness.
"I might as well tell you, don't say that my grandson is right. Even if he is wrong, so what?" The emperor took the fresh grapes presented by Eunuch Feng, peeled them himself, and fed them to the little guy. "Is it delicious? Your father has never eaten grapes peeled by the emperor's grandfather. Xiaoxiao is the first."
"Grandpa Emperor, didn't you say before that you peeled grapes for our father, but he just didn't like to eat them?" The little guy blinked.
"That means you haven't eaten it before, right?" The emperor smiled.
Looking at Xiaoxiao is like raising Yuer again, the difference is that Yuer has been a little colder in temperament since he was young.
Xiaoxiao is not good. Xiaoxiao will act like a spoiled child to him and the Empress Dowager, play tricks, cry, and say nice things to coax them.
Compared to Yu'er, he really likes Xiaoxiao more.
The prince looked at the grandfather and grandson chatting, his heart surging with anger, "The emperor means that no matter whether the minister is wrong or not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can punish him, right?"
What is there to support about such a king? It’s a pity that he is still hesitating. Now it seems that there is no need to hesitate any longer.
"You did nothing wrong, didn't you?" The emperor peeled grapes in his hands, his eyes swept towards the prince, "The article written by Xiaoxiao was deliberately trampled underfoot by you and your son. This is a great disrespect to the prince and a provocation to the dignity of the Xuanzhao royal family. Shouldn't you be held responsible for the outcome?"
There was a cold and vicious look in the prince's eyes, "The emperor just found an excuse to kill me. This really chills the heart of this minister."
A Prince Xuan who gave up the court for Empress Xuan, a young crown prince, and a slightly older emperor. After so many years, isn't it time to change the position?
He really wanted to see how devastated the emperor would be after losing his prince.
The retired emperor looked coldly at the prince kneeling on the ground without saying anything.
Eunuch Feng spoke slowly, "Your Highness, let's not talk about the fact that the emperor didn't make an excuse. Even if he did, you should be content. After all, the emperor personally made an excuse to punish you. You should be grateful."
"I refuse to accept the result." The prince tried his best not to get angry. Now was not the right time.
The emperor fed the peeled grapes to Xuan Yuncheng's mouth and softened his tone, "Xiaoxiao, your grandmother is waiting for you in the palace. Ask Eunuch Feng to take you to see her, okay?"
The little guy chewed the grapes in his mouth, his eyes rolled around, and he waved at the emperor, "Okay."
He understands that we don’t want the prince to see us punishing him.
As soon as Xuan Yuncheng left the imperial study, the emperor no longer had any scruples, his eyes were cold, "You stepped on the article Xiaoxiao had worked so hard to write, why did you keep your feet!"
The imperial guard stepped forward with understanding, and the next second, the prince let out a miserable cry. He stared at his broken feet in disbelief, with uncontrollable hatred in his chest.
It was just an article that stepped on the crown prince's words, but the emperor actually offended him for the sake of the crown prince who had not yet accomplished anything.
"Bring a letter of apology to the court tomorrow morning and admit your mistake to Xiaoxiao in front of all the court officials."
