"Your Highness, Qin Erchen, pays respects to the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Princess—"
After introducing himself, the minister named Qin Erchen also looked up at the little prince expectantly.
When Feng Yuxiao heard the name, he subconsciously associated it with the words his father had used to curse him.
Get out!
He remembered that his father was very angry at the time and kept muttering -
Damn Qin Erchen! I really want him to pack up and get out right now! He actually dared to argue with me in the court, saying that I was too patronizing to the Zhu family! He even used the example of the previous dynasty's foreign relatives who brought disaster to the country to refute me! Is he blind to see how loyal my father-in-law is!
At that time, the emperor held his little hand and said to him, Xiao'er, this Qin Erchen said that your mother would interfere in politics and that your grandfather's power was too great and would bring disaster to the country in the future. He asked the emperor not to favor your mother too much and not to be too good to your grandfather's family! So you should join the emperor in hating him! Although we can't arbitrarily depose him for personal reasons, we also shouldn't reuse him and make him angry to death!
Feng Yuxiao looked at the middle-aged man silently.
Hate!
He wants to hate this person together with his father!
Thinking of this, he glanced at the uncle unhappily, then quickly looked away and looked up at his mother, "Mother, play! Play!"
“…” Qin Erchen looked at the little prince in a daze.
He looked at the prince in disbelief.
The little prince had no reaction when he heard his name?
Is Qin Erchen really so bad?
The emperor doesn't even mention him?
He subconsciously turned his head to look at several colleagues who had just come over. It was impossible. Even good-for-nothings like Zhao Chongguang and Qian Xingrui could be evaluated happily. He, Qin Erchen, was more capable than them, but the emperor had never mentioned him to the little prince?
He was unwilling to believe this cruel reality and saluted again with difficulty, "Your Highness, I, Qin Erchen, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—"
Feng Yuxiao frowned and glared at the bad guy!
The emperor is an adult, he can’t tell this guy to get out, so let him come!
He's just a kid anyway!
So he opened his mouth and said, "Annoying! Go away! Get out! Annoying! Annoying! Get out!"
“…” Qin Erchen looked at the little prince in astonishment.
The little prince actually scolded him?
Did he really dislike this to the father and son? The emperor didn't remember him, and the little prince scolded him whenever he saw him. He felt so wronged!
He is a scholar who has studied hard for ten years. He was the top scorer in the imperial examination eighteen years ago. He is a pillar of Daning and he is dedicated to the country!
Seeing his son's reaction, Zhu Wuhuan suppressed a smile and looked at Qin Erchen calmly, "Sir Qin, didn't you hear the Crown Prince say he wanted me to play with him? You're still standing here, annoying him. Why don't you leave immediately?"
"I am guilty, I will take my leave."
Qin Erchen kowtowed quickly and left the pavilion step by step in a daze.
He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be relieved that the emperor didn't call him a good-for-nothing, or sad that he had no name in the emperor's eyes...
Or perhaps, he should feel sad and angry that a child could actually curse him in front of so many palace maids and eunuchs...
He returned in a daze to a nearby place and met with several other ministers.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, several ministers deliberately asked, "Sir Qin, what does the Crown Prince think of you? Seeing that you look unhappy, could it be that the Emperor secretly scolded you to the Crown Prince? What did the Emperor scold you for? You can't be a good-for-nothing, right? Sir Qin doesn't look like a good-for-nothing..."
Qin Erchen took a deep breath.
How should he tell these colleagues that the emperor had never even mentioned him?
This kind of indifference and disregard for him as a transparent person who has done nothing wrong is the most heartbreaking!
He tried to save his dignity and said nonchalantly, "Alas, I am so unlucky. The prince is annoyed by us going to pay our respects one by one. He keeps shouting for the queen to play with him and refuses to cooperate with us anymore."
The others stared at him suspiciously.
He flicked his sleeves and snorted, "If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself. The little prince doesn't even want to talk to anyone right now!"
Everyone stared at him and felt that he was not the kind of person who would lie, so they prepared to leave together.
As for the remaining ministers who have not been questioned yet, I plan to ask them tomorrow.
As a result, they had not walked far when they saw several generals walking towards them with smiles on their faces.
They were the General of the Auxiliary State, the General of the Guarding Army, and the General of Huaihua.
These old generals often fought side by side when they were young, so they have always been in the same group, and they always form gangs and gather together wherever they go.
Now that they were face to face, the most straightforward General Auxiliary asked with a smile, "Did you also try to trick the little prince? How was it? Did the emperor secretly scold you in front of the little prince?"
Zhao Chongguang and Qian Xingrui were so flattered that their faces lit up. They smiled and said, "He didn't scold me, but the Emperor did secretly mention me to the young prince. I'm deeply grateful for the Emperor's appreciation!"
The others said to the General of the Auxiliary State, "General, you'd better not go today. Lord Qin just went to try it out, but the little prince got annoyed and kept asking the Empress to play with him. He didn't want to bother with us, so we decided to try again tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the General Auxiliary State frowned.
Wouldn’t that be a wasted trip?
He exchanged glances with the other generals and asked, "Are you going or not?"
The other generals thought about it and said, "Let's go back and come back tomorrow?"
The Auxiliary General was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly glanced at Qin Erchen suspiciously. "No, I have to go and try it myself! What if it's you, Lord Qin, who's annoying? What if the young prince is just annoying you? After all, even I think you're noisy, nosy, and annoying!"
"..." Qin Erchen was in a bad mood. When he heard what the General Auxiliary State said, his face suddenly turned ugly.
He flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Then go ahead, old general. If the young prince scolds you later, don't say I didn't warn you!"
The Auxiliary General sneered, "Bullshit! There's no way the little prince would scold me! His grandfather and I were neighbors, and his grandmother and my wife were good friends! And I even want to make his fourth uncle my son-in-law. Our two families are so close, how could the little prince scold me!"
Everyone looked at the reckless man in silence as he walked towards the pavilion with a swift pace.
After thinking about it, they quietly moved a little closer, wanting to see if he would be scolded by the little prince.
Soon, the interesting old man, the General of the State, came to the outside of the pavilion.
As soon as he appeared, Zhu Wuhuan immediately stood up with a smile, "Old General, how come you have time to come here?"
This old general is my father's good friend and has made great military achievements for Daning. He cannot be treated unfairly.
