"Brother Huang is always so reasonable. No wonder father likes you."
Prince Ruyang sighed in a sarcastic tone, and the emotions he revealed at this moment were more real than ever before.
He was jealous of the emperor.
But Anjiu also saw a bit of admiration in this jealousy.
She looked at the Emperor.
The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe and a black cloak. Blue veins were faintly visible on his white skin. He was handsome, cold, and without any emotion. He just looked at Prince Ruyang quietly, like a high and mighty god looking down on the ants at his feet.
This kind of thing...
How could Prince Ruyang be jealous? Do you worship him?
The emperor asked: "Do you think your father likes you?"
Prince Ruyang looked at the emperor: "I didn't say that..."
"But you don't think so." The emperor suddenly laughed.
An Jiu felt that there was something indescribable when he smiled, like the snow accumulated in winter being melted by the warm sun, and everything became bright.
“Father gave you the title of prince, the highest honor. You don’t have to do anything in your life to enjoy wealth and glory, but you say that father doesn’t like you?” The emperor thought it was ridiculous.
Father is the best father in the world.
He is like all cold and selfish kings.
He loves every child.
The emperor would absolutely not allow anyone to say anything good about his father.
Prince Ruyang stared at the emperor, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing.
At this time, the Queen Mother woke up.
The emperor said coldly: "Let's go in and take a look."
The emperor went in first.
Prince Ruyang paused and glanced at An Jiu.
"It's you, beautiful sister. You are the maid who has stayed with my brother the longest. You must have done something wrong."
An Jiu lowered his head and did not respond.
Prince Ruyang entered the room.
There is a very comfortable smell in the room.
The Queen Mother had her hair loose, her face was haggard, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She saw the emperor first, and her expression naturally didn't look very good. Then she saw Prince Ruyang, and her expression softened.
"It's cold, why did you come here? I'm fine."
King Ruyang said, "Your son is worried about you."
The Queen Mother was moved, and looked at her son with a loving face. She smiled at the Emperor and said hypocritically, "Is the Emperor busy today?"
The emperor had no expression on his face: "I'm fine, how is the Queen Mother?"
The empress dowager gave a fake smile. She had just said that she was fine, but the emperor still asked.
"Not much strength."
The palace maid who was serving beside her said, "Your Majesty doesn't have much appetite. The food sent by the imperial kitchen..."
"Caihe, shut up." The Queen Mother stopped her maid from speaking.
The Queen Mother obviously wanted to talk about the Imperial Kitchen, and Caihe was just a substitute for the Queen Mother, but the Emperor would definitely ask, and this was when Prince Ruyang should come on stage.
But before Prince Ruyang could open his mouth, the emperor spoke first: "I know the food sent by the imperial kitchen is light, but they are also for the queen mother's health. I eat the food from the imperial kitchen and my health is getting better and better."
An Jiu: "..."
She lowered her head and seemed to want to laugh.
Prince Ruyang said: "But the imperial kitchen is so exquisite..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor frowned and asked, "Is the kitchen in the Cining Palace closed?"
He looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully, and An Jiu clearly saw that the Queen Mother's face was distorted.
A distortion that is not concealed at all.
I've probably been holding back a little bit, and I'm almost ready to pretend anymore.
"What if it happens again?" The emperor taunted, "Who can bear the consequences if the queen mother is frightened again?"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and tried not to jump up and curse at the Emperor.
Prince Ruyang was not affected at all, and said with a smile: "But you can't forget to eat because of choking. Mother is old, and sometimes she always wants to eat something special. How about this, I will find a few cooks from outside, and I will not trouble the imperial kitchen in the future."
The emperor snorted coldly: "I can eat the food in the imperial kitchen, and so can the other concubines in the palace. Why can only the empress dowager eat it?"
Prince Ruyang was unwilling to show weakness: "My mother is old..."
The emperor looked at him coldly: "What? I think the queen mother is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger."
The Queen Mother said angrily, "Emperor, what did you say?"
The emperor turned around and said, "The Queen Mother did it, and I agree with her?"
The Queen Mother's chest heaved.
She knew that the emperor did it on purpose.
He deliberately pissed her off and stabbed her in the wound.
This bastard.
Prince Ruyang knew that the emperor was humiliating them, but he could only endure it.
The emperor sneered, with a kind of mad feeling of being in control of others, and he stared at the empress dowager.
"My father, the best father in the world, the king..."
"But you brought shame upon him after his death."
[I hate you so much that I want to kill you.] 】
[Damn whore.] 】
[Show off your might to me again...]
The emperor's look frightened the queen mother, and she stopped talking.
The emperor looked at Prince Ruyang coldly.
"The kitchen is too dangerous. For the queen mother's health, I have to go back."
He paused and said, "By the way, Wang De is dead, and the Queen Mother has enough hands around her. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to transfer a few people."
The Queen Mother said coldly: "No, I am used to using people from outside. Wang De's apprentice Jizi is wrong. I have already made him the chief steward of the Cining Palace."
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Emperor returned to his usual demeanor. He frowned, "How can this be possible? It is said that a red plum will turn red, and a black plum will turn black. Wang De has bad intentions towards the Queen Mother. How can he teach a good disciple? It is said that this Wang Jizi still has a grudge against the Queen Mother because of the death of his master. What will he do if he wants revenge in the future?"
Queen Mother: "..."
Prince Ruyang: "..."
An Jiu looked at the emperor in surprise.
That’s awesome.
Listen to what he said, it was like a stab in the mouth of the Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang...
The Queen Mother is almost dying.
She took several deep breaths and said, "I want Jizi to serve me, and I will take care of other people. I appreciate the emperor's kindness. I am tired and want to rest."
Prince Ruyang wanted to stay and talk to the Queen Mother, but the Emperor smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "We brothers haven't seen each other for a while. Go and have a drink with my brother."
Prince Ruyang: “…”
God damn, there is no such thing as a joke.
I saw you a few days ago.
Besides... I want to see you now! ! !
The emperor glanced at the queen mother and said, "The queen mother said she was tired, so we are going to disturb her rest."
Prince Ruyang had no choice but to leave.
Before they left the house, there was a crackling sound like something was smashing in the house.
The emperor laughed and said, "Although the Queen Mother is old, her liver is still so vigorous."
Prince Ruyang: "..."
An Jiu: "..."
Well, although Prince Ruyang is a very easy-going person, the emperor is also a very good person.
Prince Ruyang had a good appetite, but the emperor ate a lot. He even asked Prince Ruyang casually, "By the way, I have something to ask you. I heard there is a Yun family in the northwest?"
Prince Ruyang nodded: "Yes, the Yun family is a famous and prestigious family, and there are also members of the Yun family in the court. Why do you ask this, brother?"
The emperor said: "There was a noblewoman in the palace who wanted to assassinate me, but I killed her. This noblewoman was sent by the Yun family."
Prince Ruyang was surprised: "Ah? There is such a thing?"
Prince Ruyang acted like a brother who really cared about the emperor and told him everything about the Yun family.
"To put it bluntly, the Yun family is the local emperor of the northwest. They control everything. The entire Rongcheng is under their control. Officials in power have to visit the Yun family during festivals."
Prince Ruyang smiled sarcastically: "It's only in the northwest. The powerful families in other places are not much different."
Prince Ruyang patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to tell my brother that the county you and my brother wanted is between the Yun family and my fiefdom. They only listen to the Yun family, but they don't take me and my brother seriously."
