Chapter 215 I Don't Like
Nanny Yu refused to speak, and neither did the others. The eldest prince was furious and snorted angrily, "How dare you bully me? I'm going to Paiyun Hall to find my mother! I'm going to ask my mother! If you do that again, I'll punish you severely!"
"Your Highness!"
"How dare you! Let me go! You little slaves, how dare you!"
The eldest prince was angry and annoyed, kicking, stomping and biting. A child of that age can be very strong when left alone. These people were slaves and servants, and they were full of taboos and did not dare to hurt the eldest prince. Otherwise, if the eldest prince complained when the concubine came back, it would be no small matter.
Now, Concubine Shu attaches more and more importance to the eldest prince, and she will never allow him to suffer any grievance.
Nanny Yu had no choice but to tell the eldest prince, "Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, stop making such a fuss. I'll tell you something! Your Highness, Your Highness, you do have a little brother now. He is the son of Concubine Chen, and a full moon banquet is being held in Paiyun Hall today."
The eldest prince was stunned. "Banquet? A banquet for him?"
Nanny Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, the little prince just turned one month old, and today is the full moon banquet."
The eldest prince grew angry. "I want to hold a banquet too! Why can't you let me have it? Will the emperor only love the younger prince and not me anymore?"
These words frightened the nanny to death. "No, no, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood. How could the Emperor not love you? The Emperor has always loved you the most! He even held a full-moon banquet when you were one month old."
"I don't remember, but I have to do it now."
Nanny Yu wanted to laugh but was also anxious. "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't worry. When the Queen comes back, she will definitely agree to your request. I will definitely do it for you."
"Hmph!" The eldest prince was still dissatisfied. "I'm going to find Mother right now and do it today!"
"No, Your Highness!" Nanny Yu was almost crying. The palace maids and eunuchs all had sad faces and begged for mercy to stop the eldest prince.
"Your Highness, that's the little prince's full moon banquet. The Queen has instructed you not to go!"
"Your Highness is going! Is it not possible for Your Highness to go?"
"But... that's the little prince's full moon banquet—"
"I'm going! Is it not possible for me to go to his full moon banquet?"
"No, no! The little prince is your brother, of course you can go!"
Unexpectedly, these words made the eldest prince furious: "What brother! I don't have a brother! He is not born to my mother, so he is not my brother! My mother only has me, and I hate him! I hate him!"
"Your Highness, please stop talking! I beg you, please stop—Your Majesty!"
Nanny Yu’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
The other palace maids and eunuchs were also terrified; none of them had expected the Emperor to be here. The thought of how many words he had overheard filled them with despair, and they lay prone on the ground, unable to get up.
Any of those words will be subject to severe punishment!
The eldest prince was overjoyed to see his father coming. He called out, "Father!" and walked toward Emperor Yuan Yong, bowing politely, "Your Highness, your son pays his respects to you."
Shufei protected the eldest prince very closely. Although Emperor Yuan Yong was not very close to the eldest prince, he was usually quite gentle when meeting his son, and the eldest prince was not afraid of him.
Emperor Yuan Yong suppressed his anger and looked at his eldest son, who was already five years old. He nodded and said "hmm" lightly, then asked slowly, "Don't you like your brother?"
Nanny Yu's lips were trembling, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her eyes were fixed on the eldest prince.
The other palace maids and eunuchs were all nervous and frightened, staring at the eldest prince without blinking.
The eldest prince's words could determine their life or death at this moment...
The eldest prince curled his lips and said, "I don't like it!"
"Really? Why don't you like it?"
"He's not my brother. I don't have a brother! Mother said that I'm the only prince that father has, and that he loves me the most! I don't want a brother! Father, please don't want him either. I'm enough for you!"
Nanny Yu let out a muffled groan in her throat, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Although the other palace maids and eunuchs did not faint like Nanny Yu, they all collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
They are finished...
Emperor Yuan Yong was furious!
He endured it again and again and finally managed not to get angry at the eldest prince. "Who taught you all this? Who told you this?"
Seeing that his father had no intention of blaming him, the eldest prince thought he had agreed to his request, and he became even more proud. Without thinking, he betrayed Concubine Shu: "Of course it's Mother! Mother taught me that. Father, I am the one you love the most, right? Isn't that right?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was unwilling to even try to deceive him and said calmly, "Don't be ridiculous. What your mother taught you is not good. Don't say it again."
The eldest prince was puzzled: "Why? Everything my mother taught me must be good!"
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
What else could he say to a five-year-old child?
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at Nanny Yu and the others who were limp on the ground and said, "Take the eldest prince back to Jingyuan Palace and make sure he stays there properly. No one is allowed to leave."
No one is allowed to go out, which naturally means that no one is allowed to go to Concubine Shu or complain to her.
"Yes, yes..." The young palace maids and eunuchs nodded hurriedly, their voices trembling and incoherent.
However, the eldest prince refused to go back. He clamored for his father to take him to Paiyun Hall and give him today's banquet. He also wanted to attend the banquet.
Emperor Yuan Yong finally lost patience and shouted in a low voice, "Stop messing around! Go back! If you continue to make trouble, I'll have someone teach you a lesson!"
The eldest prince's face turned pale. After all, his father was very majestic, and he would still feel afraid when his father got angry.
"Go back to Jingyuan Palace, go!"
"yes......"
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced coldly at the palace maids and eunuchs lying on the ground, then walked away.
After he left, the two maids no longer cared about anything else and hurried to wake up Nanny Yu. Nanny Yu burst into tears and tightly grasped the maid's hand, saying in a trembling voice, "What did the emperor say? What did the emperor say?"
How could the palace maid say: "......"
The Emperor didn't say anything to them at all. Actually, there was no need to say anything...
Nanny Yu's vision went dark, and she nearly fainted again. She glanced at the eldest prince, who looked ignorant and spoiled, and her nose felt sore, and tears fell.
"The Emperor, the Emperor asked us to go back to Jingyuan Palace..."
"Then, let's go..."
