Chapter 525 Shocked and stunned
Erbao flexibly adapted it to be used here.
The prince lost his face and said, "Come here, slap him in the face! Beat him with a stick! He is committing treason! He has no respect for the rules!"
The prince's entourage was about to come up and catch Erbao.
Dabao winked at him, and Erbao understood. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Uncle Emperor, save me! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to hit someone! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to hit someone!"
Around the corner, a dignified figure in bright yellow appeared.
It’s the Queen.
The Queen shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?"
Everyone turned around and saluted the Queen.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed over aggrieved, "Mother, this country bumpkin Xuan Yue scolded me! He is extremely disrespectful to me! He deserves death!"
The Queen frowned and shouted, "No matter what happened, you, the Crown Prince, can't let people beat people up. What country bumpkin? These are your two cousins, your own blood cousins. You don't have many brothers. They just came from the countryside, they don't have much experience, they don't know the rules. You should take better care of them and be more tolerant. How can you let them fight and kill each other and cause such a scene?"
The prince was scolded by the queen and looked unwilling, glaring at the two brothers Dabao fiercely.
The two brothers Dabao stood where they were. Dabao remained as still as a mountain, calm and composed, waiting for what was to come.
Erbao's face was flushed and he was still a little excited.
As expected, the Empress turned to the two brothers and said, "Xuanxi, Xuanyue, your Crown Prince brother was just kidding you about the golden eagle. He just wants one because he saw someone say it's cool to ride. I've already sent people to the mountains to catch one for him. Your family's golden eagle must have been tamed by your parents. Once it's brought into the palace after recognizing its master, no one else can control it. I understand all of this."
Dabao then spoke up, "Thank you, Queen, for your understanding. That's exactly what happened. The golden eagle is a ferocious bird of prey. It will only obey if it recognizes its master. Without a master, it can't be controlled and can easily get hurt. I just explained this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on killing our golden eagle. That's why my second brother got angry and offended His Royal Highness. We are indeed at fault as well. We apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen."
There was no warmth in the queen's smiling eyes.
This young Prince Xiang, despite his young age, was so patient and could speak without making a single mistake, which made her feel scared.
Her son Xuanye was not even half as cunning as Prince Xiaoxiang.
She had just taken people to hide in the corner and heard everything that was said.
Especially when Erbao Xuanyue said that her son did not behave like a prince, but more like a dandy boy from the city, it was like a stab in her heart.
The Empress looked at Prince Xiaoxiang with fear. On the other side, Emperor Xuan also came out of the imperial study.
He brought Eunuch Si and his group, put his hands behind his back, and strode over.
"What's going on? What's all the noise?"
Before the Empress could say anything, Dabao spoke first, "Sorry to bother the Emperor, we are fine. It was just that my second brother and the Crown Prince met and hit it off, so we were just joking."
The Empress also echoed, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xuan Yue get along quite well..."
Xuan Huang said coldly, "I am not deaf. Did I hear that the Crown Prince wanted to hit someone? Why did he want to hit someone?"
The Crown Prince was so frightened by Emperor Xuan's shout that he trembled and subconsciously hid behind the Empress.
Erbao still stood up bravely. He was also afraid of Xuanhuang, but he would not escape from what he had done.
"Uncle Emperor, I was the one who called out, just now..."
Dabao coughed, "Let me tell you the story. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met us just now, greeted us, and asked about my parents. When he talked about the golden eagle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was full of longing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried about our family. My parents are commoners and can't support the golden eagle. He wanted to help raise it, but unfortunately the golden eagle has recognized its owner, so it's not easy to send it to the palace. Otherwise, my parents would have sent it here long ago. My second brother may have misunderstood His Royal Highness's intentions, so he argued with him for a few words and offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to teach him a lesson. Our real parents are gone, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is our eldest brother, so he has the right to help teach him a lesson..."
Xuan Huang said in a deep voice, "Xuan Ye, is this true?"
The Crown Prince poked his head out from behind the Queen and nodded heavily, "What the Little Prince Xiang said is absolutely right. That's exactly what happened."
Xuan Huang sighed, his expression unclear.
"I understand. Your prince brother is wrong. I will teach him a lesson. You two should leave the palace first. Don't be afraid of him as long as I am here!"
Dabao bowed again and agreed.
He pulled the still angry Erbao out of the palace in front of everyone.
After the two men disappeared, Emperor Xuan waved to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was afraid and did not dare to go over, so the Queen Mother pushed him.
The prince had no choice but to slowly move to the front of Xuanhuang.
Xuan Huang raised his hand and slapped the prince on the head!
The prince was caught off guard and spun half a circle before he could steady himself.
Shocked, stunned, and extremely frightened.
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I didn't dare cry out loud. I was completely dazed.
The Empress quickly stepped forward to support the Crown Prince, "Your Majesty, there are so many people here, and the Crown Prince is a precious child. Is it appropriate for you to teach him a lesson like this?"
Xuan Huang's forehead throbbed. "What? I can't teach him a lesson? What about his words and deeds? What about his heart and courage? I am so disappointed! You taught your son well!"
The Queen Mother was also scolded, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The other palace servants all wished they could become blind and deaf, unable to see or hear anything.
Xuan Huang used to be a fierce and ruthless person, but in recent years he rarely got so angry in front of others. The palace people were all scared and sweating.
Eunuch Si spoke softly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. His Royal Highness is a true-hearted, passionate young man, so it's inevitable that he's a bit blunt. Let me be fair. I've seen the golden eagle flying around over the capital several times and I'm very envious. I think it should have been a treasure of the royal family, but it's been leaked outside. Under heaven, the land belongs to the king. Isn't such a rare treasure a treasure of our Da'an Kingdom? Any family with a bit of attention to detail would have offered it long ago. Whether Your Majesty wants it or not is your own business, and that's another matter..."
Xuan Huang glared at him sideways.
Eunuch Si stopped him immediately and slapped himself on the mouth, "I am talking too much, I am offended!"
No more words.
But that’s enough.
Xuan Huang flicked his sleeves and said, "Every one of them is a troublesome thing."
I don't know who he is talking about.
He turned around and walked back into the imperial study.
The Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others respectfully saw him off. After Emperor Xuan disappeared into the imperial study, the mother and son left together.
