Chapter 73: Getting Beaten
The Fifth Prince glared at Liu Youde fiercely.
The Fifth Prince: You are smart, or are you smart enough? You kicked the ball to me again.
The Queen saw that the scene was really embarrassing, and said: "Your Majesty, you see it is getting late now, and the Queen Mother still needs to rest, why don't we take Chengshun and Miaoer back first?"
"Yes, the Queen is right." Xia Zhengqi took advantage of the situation. "
Mother, I bumped into you today, please forgive me. I will take them to leave first."
The Queen Mother nodded hurriedly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you."
[Hahaha, how dare I blame you, I can't even get enough time to ask you to leave quickly. ]
[If you don't leave, the four under the bed will not be able to hide! 】
Xia Miaoyuan lay on Xia Zhengqi's shoulder, covering her mouth and laughing.
What? Four people under the bed?
There are four people hiding under the bed?
Hearing their daughter's voice, Xia Zhengqi and the queen suddenly wanted to stay and watch, but they had already said they would leave, so they had to turn around and walk out.
Just after taking two steps out, Xia Zhengqi and the queen turned around almost at the same time and looked under the bed, only to see a piece of purple gauze sticking out from under the bed.
Oh my God! It seems that what my daughter said is right, there really is someone hiding under the bed!
On the way back, Xia Zhengqi frowned, his face full of confusion.
"Queen, Concubine Shu, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight." Xia Zhengqi said in a deep voice.
"I understand." The Queen and Concubine Shu responded in unison.
[Hahaha, if the people in the palace and the people in the capital knew that the Empress Dowager was dressed like that, it would be a big joke.]
Xia Miaoyuan hugged Xia Zhengqi's neck tightly and complained recklessly.
[The Empress Dowager, who always taught the women of the Great Xia Dynasty to be chaste and virtuous, is actually wild and unrestrained inside. If this matter were to be exposed, it would definitely become the hottest gossip on the street.] [
Storytellers can use their imagination and write more erotic novels that are basically best-selling.]
Xia Zhengqi's face darkened.
Xia Zhengqi: The little fairy who was reincarnated as my daughter, speaks so boldly?
[Daddy, in fact, you haven't seen how eye-catching the Empress Dowager is in private. 】
【She has to find four young male servants at a time, and they have to play musical instruments, sing, and perform eye-catching plays. 】
【Tsk, tsk, tsk, the old woman is too straightforward. 】
What? The Queen Mother also found young male servants?
The one hiding under the bed is a young male servant? !
Xia Zhengqi and the Queen felt their heads buzzing instantly, and they turned their heads and looked at each other in tacit understanding, exchanging shocked looks.
Concubine Shu curled her lips: You guys are really showing off enough. Are you going to do it in front of me too?
In order to find out the ins and outs of the matter, Concubine Shu brought the fifth prince, the Queen, Xia Zhengqi and others to Kunning Palace.
In the main hall of Kunning Palace, the fifth prince knelt on the ground with a dark face.
Xia Zhengqi was sitting in the middle holding his daughter, while the empress and concubine were sitting on both sides.
"Tell me, what happened." Xia Zhengqi's face was as cold as ice.
[Fifth brother, you are so miserable! I wonder what daddy will use to spank you today? ]
[The rattan fly swatter in Kunning Palace was broken by him last time. ]
[The fly swatter is useless, he won't use the door bar to spank you, will he? ]
[The door bar is as thick as a bowl, you will faint from the pain! ]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the fifth prince distressed.
The fifth prince trembled slightly, his lips opened, but he didn't say anything.
Fifth prince: Sister, can't you just hope for me?
"Chengshun, what did your mother usually say to you? You!" Concubine Shu sighed, looking very disappointed.
"Today, your mother can't help you. Just tell your father the truth."
The fifth prince raised his eyes, glanced at Xia Zhengqi secretly, and burst into tears.
"Father! I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Can you please stop beating me?"
"Hurry up and say it, don't talk too much!" Xia Zhengqi shouted.
"Your sister is less than half a year old, how could you take her out privately?!"
"Moreover, you put her in your bookcase and hid her in the Empress Dowager's closet!"
"It's simply ridiculous!"
"Tell me the truth, what do you want to do?!"
Xia Zhengqi couldn't hold back his anger at all and cursed out.
Just when he and the Empress and Concubine Shu were frantically looking for the two children, he was extremely nervous.
After searching for a long time and not finding them, he even wondered if the Empress Dowager deliberately stole her daughter in revenge for the Jiang family's affairs.
That's why he broke into Shoukang Palace at night without regard for etiquette.
The fifth prince was so scared that he couldn't stop crying.
"Father, I just want to take my sister out to play." The fifth prince cried and said incoherently.
"Why didn't you tell the Queen Mother when you took your sister out to play? Why didn't you ask someone to follow you?!" Xia Zhengqi yelled.
"I was afraid of being restrained and uncomfortable. So..." The fifth prince stammered.
[Fifth brother, why don't you tell the truth? ]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the fifth prince trying to make up a story and couldn't help complaining.
Ah? Chengshun is lying? !
Xia Zhengqi's brows wrinkled even more.
[You clearly said that you would take me to see the Queen Mother's secret. That's why you deliberately hid it in the closet. ] [
Look, we were in the closet and didn't dare to come out. We hid it for an hour and finally knew the Queen Mother's secret. Why didn't you tell it? ]
[Go on, tell it, tell it out, let Daddy eat the big melon too. When he is satisfied with the melon, he won't beat you anymore. 】
The Fifth Prince: Do I dare to say it? If I tell it, my father won’t beat me, but my grandmother will beat me to death. Do you think I’m stupid?
Well, this little bastard dared to lie, Xia Zhengqi got even angrier.
"So, you are not restrained and feel comfortable hiding in the empress dowager's wardrobe with your sister who is less than five months old?!" Xia Zhengqi was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"No...no." The fifth prince cried.
"Chengshun, you are not a child anymore. You are nine years old. You should understand things. You are still like a naughty boy!"
Xia Zhengqi handed Xia Miaoyuan to the queen, picked up a feather whisk from the bottle, grabbed the fifth prince's collar with his other hand, and hit him.
The fifth prince screamed: "Father, please spare my life! I won't do it next time!"
"How dare you do it next time!" Xia Zhengqi scolded, and the strength of his hands became heavier.
皇後将夏妙元交給淑妃，上前勸道：“陛下消消氣啊，這麽打會把承順打壞的。”
“你們不要管，不要勸，朕今天就好好教訓教訓這小子。”夏正啓嘴上說着，手上的雞毛撣子就沒停過。
【媽媽咪呀，劇情都崩成這樣啦？說好的軟柿子皇帝呢？說好的喜歡孩子，疼愛孩子，從不揍娃呢？】
【爹爹他不會是人格分裂了吧？！】
夏妙元看着夏正啓揮動着雞毛撣子，一下一下狠狠打在五皇子身上，不由得感到心驚膽戰，躲在淑妃懷裏暗自吐槽。
"Father, spare my life. There won't be a next time. I promise there won't be a next time." The fifth prince was beaten and screamed.
That night, the fifth prince's screams echoed throughout the palace.
Everyone in the palace was talking about how Emperor Mingxi had changed his personality.
How could Emperor Mingxi, who always doted on his children, beat the fifth prince so hard?
Since the incident that night, the empress dowager felt ashamed and stayed indoors in Shoukang Palace for several days.
Did the fifth prince hear some rumors and deliberately hide in the closet to spy on her secrets?
The empress dowager thought about this question again and again.
No matter how naughty Chengshun was, she would never believe that he would take Xia Miaoyuan to hide in the closet for no reason.
Also, why did Chengshun take the risk of being punished by the emperor and sneak Xia Miaoyuan out of Kunning Palace and take her with him?
Especially when she thought of Xia Miaoyuan's cunning smile before she left, the empress dowager was even more certain that there must be something behind this.
