Chapter 556 Lessons
Shen Chuliu was surprised, am I so rich?
"Yes, this is a delicate job that is not easy for us with rough hands to do, so Sister Chi Su and others, as well as Nanny Zhang, Yinhu and two cleaning eunuchs are working together. Now that the place has been basically cleaned up, but they said there is still a large wardrobe missing. We can't rush it, so we have to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it. I saw Yinhu has already left." Xinlu said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Okay, then I'll go take a look."
As he said this, he stood up, put on his clothes and went out to take a look.
The east hall had indeed been tidied out, with clothes on one side, jewelry on the other, and a full-length mirror was also found in the storeroom.
There is a screen separating the middle. I have to say that these girls have quite good aesthetic taste.
While Shen Chuliu was sorting things out, something happened in the Hongwen Hall where the princes were studying.
It wasn't a big deal, just a dispute among the princes.
The reason was that the Ninth Prince, who had just recovered, was not suitable to resume his studies, and he was somewhat behind in making progress.
Because of the differences in age, the princes naturally learned different things. The Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince and the Fourth Princess all learned similar things.
He felt very uncomfortable because he couldn't keep up.
The Fourth Princess is better than him among all the girls, and the Tenth Brother is younger than him.
This is not a pleasant thing to say. What about the Tenth Prince? Even though his mother is not good enough, he is still a prince. How can he not have some pride?
The Ninth Prince's words were harsh, so naturally he would refute them.
Only the eighth prince was stupid enough to be pushed down by the ninth prince.
It was a hot day and people were not wearing much, so the Eighth Prince's elbows were scratched through the thin clothes.
The eighth prince reacted very slowly, but he knew it hurt. After a while he went to find his sixth brother crying.
A child like the Eighth Prince would become very simple-minded. He would subconsciously seek out whoever was kind to him, or whoever he thought was kind to him, if he had any problems.
It is true that the Sixth Brother is also very supportive, whether it is out of brotherhood or the vanity of little boys when they were young.
The eighth brother came to him crying and even pulled up his sleeve to show his wound. The Sixth Prince was furious at that moment.
Naturally, he took the Eighth Prince to find the Ninth Prince.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have any shame? Why do you always bully the Eighth Prince?" The Sixth Prince glared.
The Ninth Prince was already scared, but the Tenth Prince was also upset just now, so he quickly complained: "Ninth Brother couldn't keep up with his studies, and he took it out on us because he couldn't answer the teacher's questions. He was also angry with Fourth Sister just now, but Fourth Sister didn't bother with him."
"Hey, Qi Jue, you are really promising!" The Sixth Prince snorted coldly: "You are useless yourself, so don't bully others. You always pick on the weak. How can you be so ashamed to treat the Eighth Prince like this?"
"I won't dare to do it next time." The Ninth Prince said timidly.
The Eighth Prince slowly came back to his senses and suddenly pounced over to push the Ninth Prince.
The Sixth Prince hurriedly pulled, and as they pulled, the Ninth Prince was pulled to the ground.
His face hit the ground and there was a loud thud.
This time, the Ninth Prince was fed up and cried loudly.
This soon alarmed Zhen Chongyi and even Empress Dowager Li.
Because the Ninth Prince kept saying that it was the Sixth Brother who pushed him, and he also scolded him for being useless.
Zhen Chongyi got angry. They were both princes, so why did she dare to say that her son was incompetent?
"Go! I want to see how successful Concubine Jing's son is!" After saying that, she took the child to the Queen Mother.
The Ninth Prince’s fall wasn’t too serious, but his cheeks were swollen quite a bit and he looked miserable.
In Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Li frowned and watched: "Ask the Sixth Prince to come, and I will ask him what is going on with the family being like a black-eyed chicken every day. Ask Concubine Jing to come as well."
So soon, Concubine Jing and her son each came to Ci'an Palace.
When Shen Chuliu arrived, the Sixth Prince was kneeling on the ground and the Ninth Prince was standing in front of Zhen Chongyi.
Shen Chuliu remained calm and after greeting, he said, "I wonder what Yan'er did?"
"Empress Jing, please look at Jue'er's face. It was your good son who pushed her." Zhen Chongyi said angrily.
"Oh, Jue'er is injured." Shen Chuliu looked carefully and lowered her head to ask her son: "Yan'er, tell your mother, what happened?"
"What else could it be!" Zhen Chongyi said angrily, "Princess Jing, don't take it so lightly."
"Okay! What's your rule? You don't greet the concubine when you see her?" Empress Dowager Li said softly.
Zhen Chongyi then said aggrievedly: "Greetings to Concubine Jing."
Shen Chuliu raised his hand.
"No matter what the matter is, no one should listen to only one side. I just came here and I don't know anything. Can you tell me what's going on?" Shen Chuliu said calmly, "Empress Dowager, is it okay for me to ask?"
Empress Dowager Li glanced at Concubine Jing and said, "Of course."
"Then Yan'er, tell me, what's going on?" Shen Chuliu sat down.
The Sixth Prince didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now that his mother came, he felt a little aggrieved.
So, he told the whole story.
"Oh, your eighth brother is injured? Have you called the imperial physician for him?" This was Shen Chuliu's point.
The Sixth Prince was stunned: "Not yet..."
"Well, Yuanxiao, go ask the imperial physician to check on the Eighth Prince. Even though it's a minor wound, it's inevitable that he'll have to deal with it in this hot weather." Shen Chuliu waved her hand.
Yuanxiao responded and left.
What she said and did made Empress Dowager Li and Zhen Chongyi feel a little embarrassed.
They didn't pay any attention to this.
"Since it was Yan'er who hurt the Ninth Prince, it was ultimately his fault as a brother. I can't say anything. Let the Empress Dowager decide." Shen Chuliu stood up and bowed.
She made it so nonchalant that Zhen Chongyi couldn't say what she wanted to say.
She wanted to have the Sixth Prince beaten with a stick or something like that, but she didn't dare.
As for Empress Dowager Li, she would definitely not let this matter turn out like this.
She asked Concubine Jing to come, firstly because she really felt sorry for the Ninth Prince, and secondly, she also hoped that the usually powerful Concubine Jing could make some trouble.
At that time, Concubine Jing was no longer in the right.
But Concubine Jing not only did not make a fuss, but she also fought back and brought up the Eighth Prince.
This is where the Ninth Prince made the mistake.
As for how the Ninth Prince got injured later, she did not mention that he just fell in the chaos. She did not mention whether the responsibility lay with the Sixth Prince or not.
Just say it directly that it is wrong, Your Majesty, please take a look.
What else could Empress Dowager Li do? They were all her own grandsons, and it seemed that she was not completely without feelings for the Sixth Prince.
"Forget it. If the children make a fuss, they are bound to get hurt. Old Nine is also a troublesome person. Don't mess with your Eighth Brother in the future. He is pitiful." said Empress Dowager Li.
The Ninth Prince lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"You are all wrong this time. But considering that the ninth brother was injured, I won't punish him. The sixth brother was just trying to protect the eighth brother and lost his temper. He won't be punished either. But you still need to be careful in the future. You are the elder brother, and you should protect your younger brothers first. Some words will hurt the harmony, so don't say them in the future."
Sixth Prince: I feel a little aggrieved.
Jing Feiliangliang: Anyone who doesn't like you is a jerk, there's no need.
The Sixth Prince: Mother, what you said makes sense. Suddenly I don’t feel aggrieved anymore.
