"Come, come, you feel sorry for your father, come and feed him the medicine."
Zhu Wuhuan put the bowl aside and waved to his daughter to come over and work.
"Okay, mother."
Arqiong loosened the leash of the big white goose, walked to the bedside, washed her hands in front of the basin, then sat on the edge of the bed and fed the medicine to her father.
"Father, it's Aqiong who's here to help you drink your medicine. When Aqiong was sick as a child, you fed me the medicine and I was so obedient. I would drink whenever you asked me to. Now it's Aqiong's turn to feed you. Are you any less obedient than Aqiong was when he was little?"
As she spoke, she looked at her young and handsome father with a smile.
Now that his daughter said so, what could Feng Changye do?
I can only drink the medicine obediently.
He only had the right to make trouble with Huanhuan. He still had to save face in front of his children. He wasn't a 70- or 80-year-old old naughty boy who couldn't shamelessly act like a spoiled brat in front of his children...
He took a sip of the medicine his daughter had fed him, then whispered, "Aqiong, you were very well-behaved when you were little, but now you're becoming more and more tactless. Your brother knew that he would hide when the emperor was deliberately playing tricks on your mother, but what about you? Not only did you come here to cause trouble, you even brought your fourth uncle to watch the fun."
He patted his daughter's head gently and said, "You will make father dislike you if you behave like this. Next time father annoys your mother, don't come in. You see, as soon as you come, your mother won't play with father anymore. How boring."
"..." Arqiong looked at his father speechlessly, then lowered his head and continued to fill the medicine. "Since you said so, I will come again next time."
She raised her head and smiled brightly at her father, "I come here every day. The more you dislike me, the more I come!"
Feng Changye choked and glared at her angrily, "How could father give birth to such a naughty kid like you!"
He reached out and took the medicine bowl from her hand, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He said disdainfully, "Sit further away. You reek of goose. Stay away from father."
Arqiong placed the medicine bowl on the table, then hugged her father's arm and pressed her face against it, muttering sweetly, "Arqiong can't do this, father! You are my most beloved father, I really can't leave you! I will always be your little cotton-padded jacket, how can a little cotton-padded jacket leave your side?"
Feng Changye felt disgusted but also wanted to laugh. He looked down at his lively daughter, his eyes filled with doting.
Zhu Wuhuan and Zhu Chunjun exchanged a few words on the side. When they turned around, they saw that the father and daughter were already getting close to each other. One of them was deliberately acting coquettishly to please her father, while the other was happily enjoying the closeness of his daughter.
Zhu Wuhuan and Zhu Chunjun looked at each other helplessly.
This father and daughter. Alas.
Zhu Chunjun waited until the father and daughter had finally looked at him after some time of flirting. He then immediately kowtowed and bowed, then looked up and smiled, "I am relieved to see that Your Majesty is in good health."
He glanced at Zhu Wuhuan and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your hard work. A perfectly healthy person is pretending to be sick. Your love for Third Sister truly moves and frightens my family."
Feng Changye gently gestured for Zhu Chunjun to stand up, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. The affection between me and your third sister is beyond your comprehension. You just need to obey all decisions made by me and your third sister. For the rest of my life, I will never regret letting your third sister take power. And your third sister will never do anything to bring disaster to your Zhu family."
When Zhu Chunjun heard the emperor showing his affection, he was speechless and envious.
Alas, the emperor is always like this. As long as there is the slightest opportunity to show affection, he will grab it and never miss it.
But he also envied such love.
This shows how much you love someone, so you would trust her completely and be willing to share the country with her.
Of course, he also envied his third sister's love for the emperor. How much did his third sister love this man that she was willing to tell the emperor all the secrets overseas without hiding a single ulterior motive?
And he is afraid that he will never meet someone who loves him so much in his life.
well.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your comfort. I will keep your teachings in mind."
He kowtowed in thanks, then asked, "Your Majesty, shall I leave now? Should I tell those ministers that I have visited the Emperor on their behalf and ask them to leave?"
Feng Changye nodded and said, "Well, go out and let them go. If they still refuse to leave, then you three brothers can go on your own and leave them alone."
Zhu Chunjun smiled and bowed, "I accept your order."
Once they started leaving, those close to the Zhu family would surely follow suit. And those who acted on the sidelines based on other people's attitudes would surely follow suit. By then, only a few would be left, and they would have no choice but to leave.
Zhu Chunjun took his leave and left, going out to the courtyard.
He told the ministers that he had visited the emperor and that he had taken medicine and fallen asleep. However, his condition was not critical, so he asked them to rest assured and leave with him.
Seeing that no one was moving, he called out to Zhu Xuanyuan and Zhu Longyuan, "Brother, let's go. Since the emperor is fine, why are we still kneeling here? Are we trying to force him to abdicate? Let's go, let's go."
Zhu Xuanyuan and Zhu Longyuan guessed that this was the emperor's intention, so they stood up and left with him.
And those ministers who were on good terms with the Zhu family stood up and left after looking at each other.
Among them were the left and right prime ministers Chu Yujie and several generals.
When the fence-sitters saw this, they realized, oh no, the left and right prime ministers, the generals, and the emperor's future son-in-law were all gone. What were they still doing here?
They also left quickly.
After all, Master Zhu had said that kneeling here was like forcing the emperor to abdicate, so who would dare to stay any longer? If the Empress really came to power in the future and held a grudge against them for their disobedience today, they would be in for a very bad time.
"..." After such a large number of people left, there were only a few ministers left. They looked at each other awkwardly. Should they walk or kneel?
Just when they were struggling with their dilemma, they saw a young boy in black crown robes walking towards them from the other side of the corridor. At such a young age, he already showed the royal style and majesty.
Their eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Highness!"
Feng Yuxiao looked at the dozen or so people and raised his lip slightly, "You gentlemen are usually quite smart, how come you are so confused about this matter?"
He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at everyone with the same domineering air as his father. "You gentlemen, kneeling here and insisting on seeing the Emperor, to whom are you expressing your loyalty? To the Emperor? If you are loyal, then you clearly know what the Emperor wants to do, so why are you going against his wishes? What you are doing goes against his wishes. How can you be so loyal?"
He changed the subject again, "Besides, who are you annoying by kneeling here? You're annoying the Empress. But the Empress is now the Regent, what's the point of you annoying her? Don't you want to do this anymore?"
He curled his lips and chuckled. "Besides, most of the other ministers have left, and you're the only ones kneeling here. Does that mean they're not as loyal as you? Are you the only loyal people in all of Daning?"
He shook his head. "Look at you, you're kneeling here, not only suffering, but also offending both masters, and making the other masters dislike you. What exactly are you doing this for?"
The kneeling ministers looked at each other and their faces turned pale.
No wonder those fence-sitters left immediately. They were just being pedantic, and they left right away.
They kowtowed to thank the Crown Prince for his guidance. When he gestured for them to stand up, they couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "Your Highness, don't you feel resentful? You are the rightful regent..."
