The entire Fengxian Hall was silent, as everyone waited for the emperor's next decision.
After a while, Emperor Xuande finally spoke.
"Chen Zheng, the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor, has failed to effectively teach the Crown Prince. All officials in the Chancellery have failed to correct the Crown Prince's words and actions. All of them will be fined one year's salary as a warning to others."
"As for the Crown Prince...you have disturbed the rest of our ancestors. You shall kneel for three days and three nights as punishment."
"Send the two Saint Ladies of Xiyue to the Eastern Palace. Their positions will be determined by the Crown Prince."
Chen Zheng's face was not looking good. Being fined was a minor matter, but losing face was a major issue. The emperor punished him and the entire Zhanshi Mansion, which was equivalent to directly humiliating the prince.
Although Marquis Zhongyi Song Zan was not particularly satisfied with Emperor Xuande's handling of the matter, he knew that this was the limit.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked again, "Your Majesty, it was originally planned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would go out of the city to train the troops tomorrow. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kneel for a long time in Fengxian Hall, then this training..."
Over the years, the guards of the capital would take turns to go out of the city for training. The rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty was that the crown prince would go out of the city for training.
Emperor Xuande said, "Leave the matter of training the troops outside the city to King Cheng."
Song Zan replied yes, then turned around and saw that the prince's face had darkened even more.
In the end, Concubine Rong and Prince Cheng and his mother benefited greatly from today's incident.
After that, the matter came to an end. Emperor Xuande brought his relatives and court officials into the Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the late empress.
Later, Concubine Rong will also bring the ladies in.
While waiting outside the palace, Concubine Rong called Su Qingyu over and started chatting with her in a friendly manner.
Concubine Rong has always wanted to win over the third wife of the Shen family.
Su Qingyu knew what Concubine Rong meant, and she simply responded appropriately. As always, she didn't say a word that she shouldn't have said or responded to.
While the two were talking, Concubine Rong unconsciously looked not far away.
Li Chaoyun was saying something in front of Concubine Xian, and the two of them behaved quite intimately.
Concubine Rong was actually a little anxious. Concubine Xian was very close to the Li family of Prince Shan's Mansion, which was not a good thing for her and Prince Cheng.
Su Qingyu suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty should go and thank the Princess for what happened today."
Rong Fei had a flash of inspiration and instantly grasped the deep meaning in Su Qingyu's words.
"The Third Madam is right. I should thank the Princess sincerely."
She couldn't miss such a good opportunity to sow discord between them. Even if she couldn't create a complete rift between them, she could at least disgust Concubine Xian.
