Who is this person who has the guts to hit Jing Yuchen?
"What the Regent said makes sense. Whoever has made contributions should be honored."
When Shao Lecheng heard someone say this, he looked at the man and his face immediately darkened.
"When the late emperor was on the throne, I was already a prince. How come I'm being demoted instead of promoted now?"
These words roared out, echoing in the hall...
Jing Yuchen sneered, "Do you want me to give you the position of regent?"
The ministers present immediately spoke up: "The Regent must not speak such nonsense!"
"Yes, that's nonsense, just like the nonsense of a child. How can you give someone whatever you want? Then wouldn't I be able to give my regent to anyone at will? What a joke!"
"You..." Shao Lecheng stared at Jing Yuchen, looking as if he couldn't speak for a long time.
Shao Lecheng looked calm and didn't care much.
Until the court was dismissed, Shao Lecheng snorted every time he saw Jing Yuchen, and was quite annoyed.
Some ministers also began to discuss: "Haven't the Prince Regent and Prince Lecheng always had a good relationship? Why, this..."
"The Regent has always enforced the law impartially and without favoritism. How could he help his own people and ignore the law?"
"Tsk, stop flattering the Regent. Did you see the scar on his forehead? Yesterday, the Regent was kind enough to entertain us, but the drunk Prince Lecheng smashed his wine glass, and the two of them had a huge argument!"
"Oh, you're really well-informed. You know all this?"
Amidst the discussion, a man dressed as a eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, our Queen Mother invites you."
Shao Lecheng looked the eunuch in front of him up and down and said, "Queen Dowager, you invited me? What for? If you are not conferring the title of Prince, I will not go!"
As he said this, he walked forward impatiently, his expression showing how impatient he could be.
"Your Highness, if you don't go, how will you know whether he will be granted the title of Prince?"
Shao Lecheng stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, as if he was considering his father-in-law's words, but in the end, he was moved and said, "Okay, go with you!"
He walked towards the Cining Palace. From a distance, the palace maids lifted the pearl and jade curtain for him and invited him in.
"Greetings, Queen Mother." Shao Lecheng had a nonchalant expression.
"Please sit down!" Miao Qinghua seemed very patient. She looked at Shao Lecheng with a very gentle expression. Shao Lecheng walked slowly over and sat down.
"Your Majesty, please speak directly. I don't like beating around the bush."
"Aijia, I want to talk to you about your title. Also, today in the court, I saw that you two were not on good terms."
Shao Lecheng scoffed lightly: "That's not true! It's just that I'm here at the Cining Palace. Queen Mother, why don't you let me see Ke'er?"
"Do you miss Ke'er? Well, I'll have someone bring her here right away!" Miao Qinghua spoke without any hesitation, and soon, the palace servants brought Ke'er here.
Shao Lecheng originally had a look of impatience on his face, but at this moment, his face was full of tenderness. He held Ke'er in his arms, and was reluctant to let her go.
Miao Qinghua looked at Shao Lecheng's loving expression and said with a smile, "This child suffered from the plague right after he was born and was forced to be separated from his parents. I raised him for a while, but I'm a little reluctant to let him go."
Shao Lecheng's face, which had originally softened, immediately changed when he heard Miao Qinghua's words.
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this?"
"I would like to ask you to take Ke'er out of the palace, but Ke'er was sent here by the Regent himself!"
Shao Lecheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Miao Qinghua, then heard Miao Qinghua sigh: "He brought Ke'er to me and asked me to return Xue'er..."
"I took Xue'er away because he kidnapped Kang'er from the Miao family! I had no other choice!"
"Trade my Ke'er for his Xue'er? Then why did you agree, Queen Dowager? He kidnapped Kang'er, what was his purpose? Why didn't you go to the Regent's Palace and search for the child and rescue him!"
"You have a very close relationship with the Prince Regent's Palace. Your children were taken away from you, and you both felt distressed and anxious. What difference does it make if it's Xue'er or Ke'er?"
Does this sound like it makes sense?
"Then why did the Regent kidnap Kang'er?" Shao Lecheng looked at Miao Qinghua with a questioning expression, as if he completely distrusted her.
Miao Qinghua sighed deeply, "Because I previously restricted the freedom of movement of the Regent Prince's Palace, it was inconvenient for the palace to purchase medicinal herbs, which made Yueshan's illness difficult to cure. He hated me, but I am in the inner court of the Imperial Palace, what can he do to me? But the Miao family is in the city, and he is a master of Qinggong. He can take advantage of the people in the palace being relaxed and kidnap Kang'er at any time!"
"How could I not feel pain when the Miao family's child was kidnapped? That's why I sent people to kidnap Xue'er outside the city! You were recovering from your injuries at the time, so there are many things you don't know!"
"Whether you believe it or not, as long as you can get Kang'er home safely, I will return Ke'er to you! Can you do it?"
