Emperor Jingming summoned Yu Jin to the palace and warned him, "Be careful not to be arrogant or impatient. Don't become arrogant just because you have a good reputation among the people."

Yu Jin said politely, "Son knows."

Pan Hai looked up at the sky silently.

Look at what the emperor said, it's as if the Prince of Yan was not so arrogant before.

Getting into group fights, beating the prince... Silently counting Yu Jin's "bad deeds", Pan Hai was surprised to find that there were quite a few.

What’s even more surprising is that, despite all the amazing things the Prince of Yan did, he actually left a very good impression on him.

After Yu Jin left, Emperor Jingming was amused: "Pan Hai, you said that none of the royal family members have ever received the Ten Thousand People Umbrella, right?"

"It's because of your majesty's benevolence and wisdom that he raised such an outstanding prince like the Prince of Yan." Pan Hai complimented him without hesitation.

Emperor Jingming felt relieved to hear this.

Of course he knew Pan Hai was trying to flatter him, but it was fine as long as he felt comfortable with it. Life was already hard and boring enough, so what was wrong with listening to a few nice words?

Besides, his son is really good, so how can a father not be happy? Take Zhen Shicheng, the old man, for example. When his son won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations, he boasted in front of him. He was very unhappy at that time, but as the king of a country, he couldn't show it.

"Go and call the prince." After being happy for a while, Emperor Jingming thought of his other son and immediately became depressed.

Soon the prince came in, lowered his head and said, "My father called me."

Emperor Jingming glanced at the prince and asked: "What are you doing in the East Palace?"

"My son is reading a book..." Whenever the prince was asked by Emperor Jingming, he would become subconsciously nervous.

Of course, I was more nervous because I was afraid that Emperor Jingming would continue to ask what book I was reading...

Fortunately, Emperor Jingming was not paying attention to this. He nodded slightly and said, "Your seventh brother got the Ten Thousand People Umbrella. Did you hear about it?"

"My son heard it." The prince felt unhappy for a moment, and it showed on his face.

Lao Qi, Lao Qi, everyone is talking about Lao Qi now, when will it ever end?

When Emperor Jingming saw the prince's expression was not right, he became furious and slammed the table: "Don't you reflect on yourself? Why can your seventh brother win the love of the people when he goes out, but you open your mouth and talk nonsense, causing a huge loss to the Ministry of Revenue!"

The prince felt extremely aggrieved and could not help but whisper in defense: "Seventh brother's meritorious service is due to the second cow he raised——"

"Enough!" Emperor Jingming became more and more disappointed. He wished he could use the white jade paper on the table to knock his stupid son's confused head clear.

Seeing that the prince still looked unconvinced, Emperor Jingming shook his head: "Erniu predicted the earthquake, but what about the things that happened afterwards? If you had just a little bit of responsibility, you would be the one loved and respected by the people today!"

The prince's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of regret.

Emperor Jingming became even angrier after seeing this.

When something happens, I don't make decisions or take responsibility. Afterwards, I don't know how to reflect on myself and only feel regret... I can't think about it anymore, or I'll explode.

Emperor Jingming waved his hand and said, "Go back and think about it carefully. I hope you can behave like a prince in the future."

The prince left Yu's study, pondering Emperor Jingming's words all the way.

The emperor wants him to behave like a prince in the future. Does this mean he thinks he is not qualified to be a prince?

The prince took a deep breath and a thought suddenly occurred to him: If his father always thinks he is unqualified, will he dismiss him?

Thinking about his experience in Jingyuan, the prince shuddered.

No, my father will definitely not depose him again.

After returning to the East Palace, the Crown Prince felt even worse when he saw the Crown Princess without a smile on her face.

"Can't you just smile? You've been crying all day, and your good luck has been ruined by you!"

The Crown Princess glanced at the Crown Prince with a cold expression.

In the past, this man was just stupid, but now he is also moody. Will he start to hit someone in the near future?

The prince raised his foot and kicked a small stool away: "What do you mean?"

The flying stool landed at the feet of a palace maid, who was so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly and dared not make a sound.

"You all may leave." The Crown Princess said gently.

The palace maid serving in the room hurriedly responded with a "yes" and left impatiently.

The Crown Princess then poured a cup of tea and placed it next to the Crown Prince, saying calmly, "Prince, don't you feel ashamed to argue with me in front of so many palace ladies?"

The prince sneered: "What shame? They are just servants, do I have to take care of their feelings?"

The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince quietly and didn't want to say another word.

The prince suddenly became angry.

Ever since this woman moved back to the East Palace from Jingyuan, she has often looked at him with this kind of eyes, which makes him want to hit her every time he sees her.

The prince grabbed the princess' wrist and squeezed it hard: "What do you want? Is the princess too lazy?"

The Crown Princess frowned in pain, her tone still cold: "It is not up to me to decide whether to be the Crown Princess or not. I just hope that the Crown Prince will be grateful and cherish his blessings, just for Chun Ge'er."

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, she struggled to break free from the Crown Prince's restraints and walked quickly into the inner room.

The prince wanted to chase after her and have a big quarrel, but he was worried that he would be scolded if Emperor Jingming heard about it, so he gave up and turned to go to the garden to chat with the little palace maid.

The Crown Princess sat in the empty room, feeling cold in her heart.

She could hardly stand this man anymore.

Be it stupid or moody, she has encountered it and can only accept it.

But the day before yesterday, her mother came to see her, bringing her younger brother and sister-in-law who had just married into the family. The way the prince looked at his brother and sister-in-law made her heart skip a beat.

This man is going crazy!

Even though this was such a despicable man, her mother still advised her to win the prince's heart...

The Crown Princess touched the corners of her eyes and felt cold tears.

The second half of May seemed to be calm, but at the end of May, the Minister of Revenue caught a heat stroke and needed to recuperate, so he formally submitted a letter of resignation.

Emperor Jingming tried to retain him again and again according to custom, and the Minister of Revenue insisted again and again, so he finally agreed.

As everyone expected, it was Minister Zhao who took over the post of Minister of Revenue.

Minister Zhao, who was only in his early fifties, became one of the six ministers, and his future was bright. For a time, there was a constant stream of people in front of Zhao's house, and countless people came to congratulate him.

The former Minister Zhao, now Minister Zhao, is very grateful to someone at this moment.

"I am where I am today thanks to the blessing of Prince Yan." Inside the house, Minister Zhao sighed to his wife.

The Shangshu's wife has been in high spirits these days. She smiled and said, "I heard that the Princess of Yan is about to give birth. I will prepare a generous gift and send it to the Prince of Yan's mansion."

Minister Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Madam, please keep it in mind. The Princess of Yan is about to give birth, and the Prince of Yan won't even leave the house. I can't even invite the Prince of Yan to drink to express my gratitude. I can only spend more time on the gift."

"I just wonder if Princess Yan will give birth in May?" The Shangshu's wife sighed casually.

Many people think so.

If a child is born in an unlucky month, there won’t be much joy.

Under the secret attention of some people, on the last day of May, Jiang Si finally had a breakdown.
