Li Hong was so depressed that he was about to spit fire. After the carriage dropped him off at the gate of the East Palace, he jumped out in a hurry without waiting for the carriage to stop.
Then, with the left and right guards staring in amazement, Li Hong angrily roared a few times at the twinkling stars in the night sky to vent his dissatisfaction and depression. His angry appearance scared the left and right guards of the Crown Prince's six commanders on both sides so much that they forgot to salute when he entered.
One can imagine how depressed Li Hong was. Despite all his precautions, he still fell into the trap of the old fox Xu Jingzong. He always prided himself on being extremely smart, but he was still tricked by the most cunning man in history.
Xu Jingzong wanted to take advantage of this period of time to see the undercurrents between his father, his mother and himself. He saw that Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, and especially Helan Minzhi, were not on good terms with him, so he wanted to use his own hands to get rid of these three people.
The reason for getting rid of the three people was not because of any deep hatred, nor was it just because his grandson Xu Yanbo was beaten!
In this way, Xu Jingzong achieved his ultimate goal: to warn all the court officials! Although I have not been in the court for a long time, anyone who dares to offend me or not give me face will see the fate of the royal family!
I was able to defeat even Helan Minzhi, the Queen's favorite. Who else dares to think that I, Xu Jingzong, am already in my sixties and have lost my influence by staying away from the court!
This kind of using other people's hands to increase and show his influence on the court is Xu Jingzong's ultimate goal!
This vicious old fox is really a troublemaker! In comparison, in Li Hong's mind, Li Yifu is as pure as a harmless little white rabbit.
...
...
Someone was walking angrily in the East Palace with his head lowered. Bai Chun, who was waiting in the Prince's main hall, looked at the figure and could feel the deep resentment and depression from a distance.
Standing at the door and waiting for Li Hong to approach, he was about to speak when he saw the prince step into the door without even raising his head, and said angrily: "I won't take a bath today, I'm going to sleep. Let Xia Zhi come in when she comes back. No one can sleep with me tonight. I'm very depressed. Ah... I'm so angry!"
Bai Chun stared at the prince in amazement, who looked as if he had been shocked by thunder, and looked at the other palace maids with an inquiring look. After hearing the sound of the door closing behind them, the other palace maids trembled with fear, and looked at Bai Chun, shaking their heads pitifully, indicating that they didn't know what was wrong with the prince tonight.
The palace also regarded the emperor and empress's visit to Ci'en Temple tomorrow as a very solemn event. Among the nine temples, the Taifu Temple, the Taipu Temple, the Honglu Temple, the Taichang Temple, the Weiwei Temple, and the Guanglu Temple, including the Ministry of Rites and the Shaofu Supervisor, have been busy for the past few days because the emperor and empress will go to Ci'en Temple tomorrow.
Bailu, Xiaoxue, Xiaohan and Hua Meng are all busy preparing all the items that Li Hong will need tomorrow because the Crown Prince will accompany His Majesty and the Queen to Ci'en Temple tomorrow.
Bai Chun also stayed in the East Palace to help out because tomorrow's event was quite important and did not return to Prince Pu's Mansion.
Looking at the door that seemed to be filled with anger, Bai Chun shook his head slightly. Tonight, everyone was busy preparing the items he would need for tomorrow, as well as his prince's ceremonial procession and so on, so Xia Zhi was left alone to accompany him. He didn't expect that after this trip, he would come back in such a bad mood.
She whispered to the maid next to her, "Keep an eye on the prince. If anything happens, come find me in front. I'll wait for Xia Zhi at the door."
After seeing the palace maid nod in agreement, Bai Chun strolled through the garden in front and slowly came to the entrance of Chongjiao Gate. After looking at the left and right guards guarding the East Palace, Bai Chun silently walked to a less noticeable place and stood there.
After a short while, a soldier came hurriedly over and saluted Bai Chun to greet him.
"What's going on? What happened? Why am I so angry after going out?" Bai Chun's charming face was full of frost, and her tone was also cold, with an irresistible majesty.
"Xu Jingzong asked me to go out. Xu Jingzong's grandson had a conflict with Helan Minzhi, and I was asked by Xu Jingzong to go and save his grandson. In the end, I left Xia Zhi there to take care of his grandson, and then I was escorted back by us." The soldier said respectfully.
"Did anything else happen during this period?" Bai Chun frowned and continued to ask.
"Nothing happened on the way back. The driver was Xu Jingzong, but he didn't say a word in the car along the way. However, when leaving the conflict site, he called Xu Jingzong over and said a few words. Xu Jingzong's face was not looking good." The soldier continued to answer respectfully.
"So, it was Xu Jingzong who made me angry?" Bai Chun murmured as he pondered.
What on earth could make him so angry? If I was just helping Xu Jingzong save his grandson, I wouldn't be so angry. Besides, as the prince's tutor, Xu Jingzong had been away from the court for many years. It was reasonable for him to ask me for help when he was in trouble. Why did he come back so angry and unhappy?
Bai Chun, who was confused, frowned even more. After thinking for a while, he said, "Immediately monitor Xu Jingzong's every move. Don't miss even the smallest detail."
"Yes." The soldier said respectfully, and slowly left after Bai Chun signaled.
Bai Chun returned to the door of Li Hong's dormitory again and asked quietly, "Did anyone in there make a sound or call you?"
"Miss Bai, the prince seems to have fallen asleep. He hasn't made any sound since he entered." The palace maid said in a low voice.
Bai Chun nodded thoughtfully, tiptoed to the door and listened carefully, but didn't hear any movement. After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he gently pushed the door open to see what happened to the prince.
She slowly pushed the door open. There was nothing unusual inside. She tiptoed forward and came to Li Hong's bed. She saw that Li Hong was still dressed and had fallen asleep on a thick quilt.
But from the photo of him lying on the quilt, one could already see a hint of resentment and anger on his handsome face, as if he was still sleeping.
Bai Chun sighed silently, looked at the shoes still on her feet carefully, stretched out her delicate hands and gently took off the shoes.
According to the instructions, he will go to Ci'en Temple tomorrow. This is a grand royal ritual. As the crown prince, he has to bathe, change clothes, and wear the crown prince's official uniform.
But looking at the current state, who would dare to wake this ancestor up to take a bath? After gently putting down the shoes, he dragged the two legs that were still hanging outside the edge of the bed and slowly put them into the bed.
The dead pig-like man showed no reaction. Bai Chun looked at him and thought, "Forget it, I'll strip him naked and throw him into the bed. I'll wake him up early tomorrow. Otherwise, according to royal etiquette, he has to get up early tomorrow."
Li Hong's daily clothes were all made by Bai Chun according to his own ideas. They did not have many laces. Instead, they were fastened with some strange but convenient things called buttons, which made them very convenient to put on and take off.
Bai Chun turned Li Hong over by himself. The little guy was unaware of anything. He mumbled a few words in his sleep and continued to sleep soundly.
Bai Chun stretched out her jade hands and unbuttoned the secret buttons of the round-necked robe one by one. The reason for the secret buttons was that Li Hong was afraid that his mother would find out about the strangeness of his clothes. After the secret buttons were made, the possibility of being discovered would be much smaller, and the chance of being punished would also be smaller.
After taking off the outer robe, Bai Chun heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xia Zhi tiptoeing towards him.
"Shh... he's asleep. Help him take off his clothes. We can talk about it tomorrow." Bai Chun whispered to Xia Zhi who was walking over.
Xia Zhi nodded silently, and he and Bai Chun worked for a long time. Finally, they carefully stripped the prince who loved sex and threw him into the bed.
The two women looked at each other and noticed the sweat on each other's noses and a slight blush on their cheeks.
Xiazhi was better, because she was used to it. On weekdays, she would sleep with Xiaoxue, or Xiaohan and Bailu. She didn't care about Li Hong's **, not to mention that they were also ** with the prince on weekdays.
Although Bai Chun was often caught bathing by Li Hong, she was still not used to seeing a man's private parts, even though she was only a ten-year-old boy. Naturally, she looked more embarrassed than Xia Zhi.
The two girls sighed in relief at the same time, then slowly walked out of the dormitory. When they were outside the door, Xia Zhi did not hide anything from her and told Bai Chun everything about the conflict with Helan Minzhi in front of the restaurant.
The two women thought about it for a long time, but couldn't guess why the prince was so angry. They helped to deal with a conflict. Besides, apart from him, perhaps only His Majesty and the Queen could handle this matter cleanly.
"Xu Jingzong, you won?" Bai Chun murmured.
"Well, there is another sentence which is 'Master Xu, this is the first time and the last time. If it happens again, I will never tolerate it.' Xu Jingzong's face looked very ugly at that time, but I thought about it for a long time and still didn't know what the prince meant?" Xia Zhi said with a blink of his eyes.
Bai Chun's expression was focused, and her beautiful eyes were full of thought: "My master asked you to handle the matter and it has nothing to do with the royal family. Could it be that my master is angry because of this?"
"No, I didn't. Looking at my appearance at the beginning, it seemed that I was very dissatisfied with Xu Jingzong, not because of Helan Minzhi's arrogance. Moreover, I was not afraid at all later. When Helan Minzhi said, 'Do you know who I am?', I immediately thought of what I said, that this matter should have nothing to do with the royal family, and that it was Helan Minzhi who did it. Moreover, I pulled Xu Jingzong down and asked him to help speak to the prince, His Majesty and the queen. In this way, the onlookers can believe that Helan Minzhi is so arrogant and domineering not because the royal family protects him, but because it is his nature."
At the end of her speech, Xia Zhi had a proud look on her face. On the way back, her mind kept echoing with the people's praises of her and the feeling of herself being like a heroine. Her heart was filled with joy and she had never felt so happy before.
