Chapter 421 The Emperor is on the Road to Being Tricked
"If there is no suitable person to invite me in this life, I am afraid I won't dare to come to eat." The prince stared at the banknotes that Qiuyue gave out with heartache.
Zhao Houming gritted his teeth. This meal was really expensive, but it was also really delicious. This contradictory mentality made Zhao Houming sigh:
"Alas, apart from my mother, I'm afraid I would be too embarrassed to come if anyone invited me. But if His Highness invites me, I should still dare to come."
"Not to mention that I don't have money, even if I did, I wouldn't dare to invite you! I'm also afraid that the censor will run into his head and die in front of my Prince's Mansion."
The prince looked towards Aunt Funing as he spoke. He felt that if Aunt Funing came to eat, the Emperor's grandfather and father would definitely turn a blind eye. He wanted to join in and take advantage of the situation. He could even give his share of the money they secretly gave him.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two clever little guys and shook her head in amusement. "I'll treat you guys to dinner again when I have the chance! It's not a big deal."
Anyway, the emperor couldn't cause trouble for her just because she spent her own money too lavishly. As for the censor, if he really dared to die at the door of her house, she would collect his body.
The prince was quite happy to hear his aunt say this. He liked the fact that she was a big shot who was not afraid of the censor. "Hey, aunt, remember this! If there is such a good thing next time, you must call me."
The prince did not forget to remind Zhao Lingmeng of this matter until he left. It seems that Prince Yang Chengchen really likes these seafoods.
The Crown Prince took the delicious food with him, but instead of returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion, he went back to the Palace. As soon as he got back to the Palace, he had someone deliver the portion for his mother and the Emperor's grandfather to them. He personally took the portion for his father from his aunt and went straight to the Imperial Study.
Crown Prince Yang Chengchen was right in his guess. His father was so busy that he had no time to eat.
When the emperor heard the sound of servants leaving the hall, he knew that his rebellious son had returned.
"You still remember to come back?" The emperor said this very angrily, but he didn't even raise his head, he was busy!
"I originally brought some delicious food for my father, but it seems that my father does not welcome me? Then I will take my leave." Prince Yang Chengchen pretended to salute and prepared to go out.
The emperor was impressed by this child. He worked so hard all day, so what difference would it make if he could say a few more words to comfort his old father? He could only raise his head helplessly, rub his forehead, and said submissively: "I didn't say I don't want to eat, you are just anxious."
There was a ladder, and Crown Prince Yang Chengchen hurried down with a smile. He immediately opened all the dishes and placed them on the table one by one. He asked the eunuch who was in charge of testing poison to test them first. After all, it was necessary to be cautious when feeding the emperor. If something went wrong, he and his aunt would be in trouble.
The prince looked at the table full of dishes. Although he had eaten a lot earlier, he felt that he could still eat a little more. He rolled his eyes and said cunningly: "By the way, father, you are not allergic to seafood, right? If you are, your son will be the only one to serve you."
When the emperor heard his son say this, he immediately put the memorial in his hand on the dragon table with a bang. The emperor's imposing manner frightened the eunuch who was tasting the food nearby, but his son, who he wanted to scare, did not react at all, but looked at him with a smile.
The emperor felt as if his punch had hit cotton, and he was in a dilemma. He thought to himself that the imperial sister was right, parents are always helpless with their children.
But when the emperor saw the table full of seafood, he was no longer in the mood to argue with his son. He just picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The emperor continued eating with his chopsticks for a long time, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He glanced at the crown prince standing nearby and said unhappily, "Are you going to read the memorials? What are you doing standing here?"
The emperor just wanted to eat with his hands openly, but he also wanted to save face.
Crown Prince Yang Chengchen looked at his father's angry expression and could only helplessly go to the dragon table. He did not sit on the dragon throne, but directly put a pile of memorials on the ground, sat on the ground leaning against the dragon table, picked up a memorial and began to read.
"Ha!" The emperor made a mocking sound when he saw this. His son was good in every way except that he was too casual in private.
But the emperor looked at the hairy crab leg in his hand and was afraid that his son would scold him if he made a sound, so he could only chew the hairy crab leg until it made a crunching sound.
When the emperor had eaten his fill, he leaned back in his chair and watched his son busying himself on the floor. His posture was also very casual. He couldn't stand it because he looked like a beggar from nowhere. The most important thing was that his hands had been wiped.
"I never said you can't sit on the throne. You are the prince, so you can sit on it. What's wrong with you doing this?"
The prince refused so decisively! "No, I'm afraid that one day my father might dislike me and bring up the past."
"Am I that kind of person?" The emperor felt more and more that he lacked confidence as he seemed to have only turned over one, two, three or four times.
"Father, you can't even fool yourself now." The prince said this without even looking up, reading memorial after memorial. He was like an emotionless machine processing memorials.
The emperor doesn't care about these things. If he didn't bring up old grudges, this kid probably wouldn't be here to help him read the memorials.
The prince finished reading the thick stack of memorials and looked up when he saw that his father did not say anything.
He saw that his father had fallen asleep in his chair, so he stood up resignedly. He took the cloak next to him and gently covered his father with it. He then went back to carefully deal with the remaining memorials.
Since the emperor had already dealt with a lot of them before, all the remaining princes were dealt with quickly.
When the emperor woke up, the prince was no longer in the palace. Only the emperor's chief eunuch was waiting nearby. Upon seeing the emperor wake up, he immediately brought warm water.
"Where's the prince?"
Seeing that the Emperor immediately asked about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the chief eunuch beside the Emperor quickly replied, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been out of the palace for a while, and he has also dealt with the memorials on the case."
"This kid is thoughtful." The emperor just complained and took his people to the harem.
At this time, the emperor didn’t know that his son was so well behaved today only because there was a big pit waiting for him tomorrow!
When the court was held early the next day, they saw a pile of letters impeaching Princess Funing, and most of the imperial censors stood up.
The emperor was stunned. What was going on? He thought Princess Funing was trying to get a backdoor for her child through the imperial examination! He was already feeling troubled.
The emperor spent a lot of time preparing himself psychologically, but in the end, these people made Princess Funing live a luxurious life.
The emperor, sitting at the top, felt his mind full of questions. Where did this extravagant lifestyle come from?
