Chapter 959: Stupid indeed
Lipin's father, the Minister of Personnel Lin Shu, knelt on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.
How could I have time to cry?
He never expected that the emperor not only did not give the second prince face, but also punished him.
Lin Shu was dumbfounded.
The second prince's expression also turned ugly.
The emperor demoted his biological mother's position and punished his grandfather. How can he stand in front of others in the future?
After hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Liu hurried out to convey the emperor's will.
Although, everyone knew that the emperor spoke so loudly on purpose, Lord Lin outside the door had already heard it.
However, the procedure still has to be followed.
Eunuch Liu went out and repeated the emperor's order.
Then, for the sake of the Second Prince, he whispered, "Master Lin, the Emperor is furious. You should go back first."
Otherwise, if you continue to make trouble, the emperor will only punish you more severely.
Your daughter ignored the emperor's order and tried to bully Princess Fude, which violated the emperor's taboo.
If you continue like this, your family will be finished.
Moreover, the second prince will be implicated.
Unfortunately, because of the relationship with the Second Prince, Minister Lin has completely regarded himself as the Emperor's father-in-law and the future emperor's grandfather in his heart over the years.
How could one tell that Eunuch Liu had good intentions?
What's more, if his daughter's status is demoted, it will directly affect his grandson's fight for the throne.
How could Minister Lin be willing to accept this?
Minister Lin did not accept the order, but stretched his neck and cried towards the door.
"Your Majesty, this old minister..."
"Grandpa!" the second prince suddenly shouted.
Minister Lin's voice paused and became stuck again.
Then, he looked at the second prince in confusion.
The Second Prince said without allowing any argument, "Grandpa, since you have come to plead guilty, and now that the Emperor has shown leniency, you should express your gratitude quickly."
Minister Lin looked at his grandson and opened his mouth.
Is this called leniency?
"Grandpa, thank you!" The second prince emphasized again with a heavier tone.
Minister Lin: “…”
Finally, he knocked his hands to the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"
Eunuch Liu glanced at the second prince.
I sighed in my heart: As expected, the second prince is a smart guy.
The second prince stood up and helped Minister Lin up.
"Grandpa, take care." said the second prince.
Minister Lin nodded, wiped his tears, turned around tremblingly, took a step, but still felt unwilling to give up.
Unable to resist, she stopped and looked at the Second Prince, whispering, "She's just a little princess. Could it be that she's more precious than the concubines in the palace? More precious than the princes? Why is the Emperor protecting her so much?"
"If Lord Lin wants to know why, then this prince can tell you." Xuanyuan Jin walked slowly out of the imperial study and said in a cold voice.
As soon as Minister Lin saw Xuanyuan Jin, his expression changed immediately.
Then he looked at Xuanyuan Jin, and then at the door of the imperial study.
He immediately concluded in his heart that it was Xuanyuan Jin who instigated the emperor to punish him.
Minister Lin said with a forced smile, "So, Your Highness the Third Prince knows. I hope Your Highness will be willing to enlighten me."
"That's easy." Xuanyuan Jin said coldly, "Because Princess Fude not only saved the life of the Imperial Grandmother, but also saved the life of the Imperial Father twice!"
Minister Lin: “…”
His face was filled with shock.
Xuanyuan Jin continued, "So, Lord Lin, do you still think that Princess Fude is just a mere princess?"
Minister Lin: “…”
Speechless.
The emperor's savior is the benefactor of the entire world.
How could my own daughter have offended Princess Fude?
Lord Lin felt very disappointed.
He suddenly became clear-headed and realized that his daughter's position was unlikely to be promoted any further.
"So Princess Fude has such a great favor to our royal family." The second prince said suddenly, "If it weren't for my third brother telling me, I wouldn't have known about it."
After saying this, he looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said earnestly, "Brother, I heard that you and Princess Fude are very close. Could you please tell me that I want to personally thank Princess Fude and apologize to her on behalf of my mother..."
"No need. She is young and doesn't take these things to heart at all." Xuanyuan Jin said.
When dealing with the Second Prince, his tone was not as cold, but it was not much better either.
Then, his gaze turned to Minister Lin.
"Master Lin, please remember this: Trouble comes from the mouth!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
The second prince glanced at Xuanyuan Jin's back, thought about it, and decided not to apologize any further. He also walked away quickly.
As soon as Tang Baoan came out of Ci'an Palace, he met Xuanyuan Jin who came in a hurry.
"Brother!" Tang Bao greeted him happily.
Xuanyuan Jin felt relieved when he saw the little girl was safe and sound.
"I wasn't with you for a while, and you got bullied again!" Xuanyuan Jin said helplessly: "How can anyone trust you when you look so silly?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Is she stupid?
She is not stupid!
"Brother, I heard that Concubine Li has fainted several times." Tang Bao said softly.
I didn't lose even a single hair.
Xuanyuan Jin snorted and said, "She deserves it!"
Tang Bao showed a sympathetic expression on her face and said, "Actually, I think she is unlucky and pitiful."
Xuanyuan Jin almost laughed out of anger.
"I told you you're stupid, but you refuse to admit it. It was clearly her who bullied you, yet you feel sorry for her." Xuanyuan Jin felt that Tang Bao was hopeless.
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he asked again: "Tell me, brother, how did she bully you? Did she punish you or scold you?"
Tang Bao: “…”
A look of embarrassment on his face.
Xuanyuan Jin's heart sank.
"What happened? Is it more serious than this? Did they hit you?" Xuanyuan Jin asked nervously, "Where did they hit you?"
Tang Bao quickly said: "Brother, do you think it's possible?"
Can she still be beaten?
Is God willing?
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
After thinking about it, I felt it was impossible.
"Brother, actually... I don't know how she bullied me, but she ended up being slapped by Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui?" Tang Bao said innocently.
Xuanyuan Jin: "... Stupid indeed."
He didn't even know he was being bullied.
It seems that I need to ask someone else.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao as if she were a fool, leaving Tang Bao speechless.
The two men talked as they walked, and then they met the second prince at the palace gate.
The second prince was holding a box in his hand, as if he was waiting here on purpose.
"Third brother, this is Princess Fude, right?" As soon as the second prince saw Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin, he immediately came forward and asked with a smile on his face.
Tang Bao looked at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "This is my second brother."
Tang Bao immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Second Prince."
"Princess, please don't be polite." The Second Prince said with gratitude, "Since you saved my father and grandmother, you are my savior. How dare I accept your gift?"
After saying that, he handed the box in his hand to the eunuch beside him and bowed solemnly to Tang Bao.
"My mother's words were inappropriate and angered the princess. I apologize to the princess and hope she will forgive me."
The second prince spoke sincerely, but as a prince, he was very humble.
"Second brother, Concubine Lin is no longer a concubine." Xuanyuan Jin reminded lightly.
Second Prince: “…”
His face suddenly turned red.
