Chapter 468: I Don’t Want to Be Born in an Imperial Family

The Sixth Prince said, "Father, I am very happy today."

He paused, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "When I was young, I went to my grandfather's house and saw my eldest uncle scolding my second uncle. After scolding and beating him, he came out and wiped his tears. I didn't understand it at the time, but I remembered it in my heart. Later, when my grandfather was celebrating his 60th birthday, my father allowed me to go there. I saw my eldest and second cousins ​​again. The second cousin was patting his chest and bragging to me just a moment ago, but when the eldest cousin arrived, he instantly changed his appearance and became obedient. The eldest cousin clearly saw it, but didn't expose him, and even brought him something."

The Sixth Prince was born to Concubine Li, the eldest daughter in the family. She has an older brother and a younger brother. The older brother and the younger brother are twelve years apart in age, and they are from the same generation. The same happens to be true for the two sons of the eldest brother, who are eleven years apart in age. So they both feel like the elder brother is like a father.

The Sixth Prince continued, "I have said, Father, please do not be angry. I have no great ambitions and only love calligraphy and painting. In fact, I have always hoped to have brothers like my uncle and cousin so that I can be lazy and idle with them. Now that Your Highness has returned, I feel close to them as soon as I see them. I envy the brothers Zhiwei and Yinlin even more. I want to get closer to them... I have been talking to Zhiwei and Yinlin today, so I am very happy."

The second brother became more and more surprised as he listened, and exchanged glances with Yan Qingshan.

Before, he thought that Uncle Six might be acting, but now, he realized that he was really trying to show goodwill.

No, this is not a show of goodwill, this is a surrender! ! As a prince, facing such a huge temptation, it is very reasonable for him to have a fighting spirit, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't.

But those who want to compete can be like the third prince before and build a reputation as a bookworm, or love martial arts, or believe in Buddhism, all are possible and are also good.

But the Sixth Prince's words almost clearly stated that he "did not want to be born in an imperial family."

As an emperor, you might be able to say such things, but as a prince... you absolutely cannot say them.

Because the emperor said that was a yearning for the happiness of poverty among the common people, the prince said that was dissatisfaction with the emperor and father! ! You are a prince, but you yearn to be a commoner. If this is not dissatisfaction with the emperor and father, what is it? Of course, because of the previous fake prince and so on, Emperor Mingpei will not be angry. This may be the truth, but the truth cannot be said! No one uses this method to distance himself. He is cutting off his own retreat and clearly showing his loyalty to them! !

Yan Qingshan then said, "Fan'er and Rong'er also said that they get along well with Uncle Six."

Emperor Mingpei smiled faintly and said, "Since your elder brother said so, you should interact more often in the future."

"Yes," the Sixth Prince was very happy. He immediately moved a stool over and sat next to them.

Yan Shirong glanced at him and found that the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, as if he had found a golden thigh.

The Fifth Prince was not stupid, and he immediately said, "I also want to get closer to your family, Your Highness. I hope Your Highness..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Mingpei said, "That's right. You will be leaving the palace soon. It would be a good opportunity to spend more time with your brothers in the next few days."

The fifth prince was stunned at that time.

In the current Dayan Dynasty, even if the princes are married, they still live in the princes' residence. It is not until one of their brothers comes to the throne that the adult brothers will be crowned kings and sent out of the palace... If they are sent out of the palace prematurely, like the second prince who was crowned Marquis Gongke, once he leaves the palace and sets up his own residence, it means that he has completely lost hope.

But this kind of thing, even if everyone knows about it, it is not made public. Not to mention that Emperor Ming Pei did not say it explicitly, even if he did, he could not do anything.

The blow was too great and too sudden. The Fifth Prince was shaking all over. He never thought that he would be sent out of the palace before he could do anything? Why? Was it because of the previous conflict between the Fifth Prince's wife and Xinbao? The Fifth Prince couldn't help but look at Xinbao fiercely.

Emperor Mingpei's face darkened at that moment and he snorted coldly.

The fifth prince was startled and lowered his head quickly, feeling uneasy.

The Fifth Prince did not know at this time, but because of this glance, his original title of Duke was changed to Marquis, and his original ordinary title was also changed to "Gongshun", which carried a warning meaning, just like Gongke.

Emperor Mingpei was afraid of scaring Xinbao, so he looked down and saw that although Tuanzi's eyes were wide open, he had lost his spirit and was about to fall asleep with his eyes open.

Emperor Mingpei touched Xinbao's face.

Tuanzi's eyes were hazy and she looked around in a daze, then she suddenly realized something. She shuddered and shook her little head vigorously. Maybe she thought the effect was not good enough, so she shook it wildly like a rattle and finally woke herself up.

Then she looked around and asked, "Want to eat dumplings?"

As soon as these words came out, several people laughed. Emperor Mingpei said with a smile: "Eighth Uncle and Ninth Uncle still have something to say. When they are done, we can eat dumplings."

The eighth and ninth princes secretly groaned.

Seeing that he could not escape, the Eighth Prince said sternly: "Father, I feel that the world is harmonious and peaceful now, and I am very happy."

The Ninth Prince said, "So do I."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "You can't speak yourself, right?"

The Ninth Prince became even more nervous: "I think your Highness is so pretty and cute, I can't get enough of looking at her."

Emperor Mingpei laughed, let him go, and asked someone to prepare a midnight snack.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When staying up on New Year's Eve, people must stay up past midnight, which means good luck and prosperity in the coming year. It is said that if children stay up all night, they can pray for longevity and blessings for their family members.

After eating vegetarian dumplings at midnight, the elderly and children can go to bed, but most adults will stay up all night.

Xinbao was so sleepy that he was staggering all over. His little neck couldn't even support his sleepy head, but he still used all his willpower to hold on. He opened his mouth, took the dumplings that Yeye fed him, and ate them slowly, one bite at a time.

After eating two small dumplings, the bell of midnight rang. Emperor Mingpei saw that Xinbao was really sleepy, so he said, "Okay, you can go to sleep now."

Before he could finish his words, Tuanzi fell into his hands and fell asleep unconscious. The dumpling that he had just put into his mouth slowly slipped out.

Emperor Mingpei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Madam Lin put down her chopsticks, took the child and said, "Father, your daughter-in-law will take Xinbao back to sleep."

Emperor Mingpei nodded: "Wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."

Mrs. Lin responded quickly, squatted down, and left with Xinbao in her arms.

Yan Qingshan and his companions did not stay long. After eating the dumplings, they took their leave. After all, Emperor Mingpei would be busy tomorrow. He would open his pen, worship his ancestors, and attend the New Year's court meeting. It was a whole day's work.

The group left the Qianqing Palace.

The Sixth Prince stayed close to Yan Qingshan and talked with a smile on his face. The Fifth Prince gritted his teeth and followed him a few steps, forcing a smile and saying, "Your Highness."

Yan Qingshan nodded and glanced at him, but did not stop.

The Fifth Prince could only chase after him. This was his last chance. He did not care about his face and pleaded, "Your Highness, please listen to my brother."
