Chapter 385 No need to report again!
"That wicked boy has fallen so low that he has to go hunting in the mountains to make a living?"
The spy bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not just that. I have personally seen the Princess of Yan shouting and soliciting customers on the street every day!"
The old emperor frowned and angrily slammed the table: "How unreasonable! This really brings shame to the royal family!"
Jiang Shou quickly held his hand and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, the dragon's body is precious, please send the imperial physician here quickly!"
The old emperor pushed him away angrily: "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and spared his life. Now he is slapping me in the face by doing this. It is absurd that a prince should beg for life in such a humble way!"
Although he was angry, he felt more depressed.
After all, he is his son, so why does he live such a humble life?
Can't I ask that old bastard Murong Lin for some money?
He probably forgot that he had already issued clear orders that no one should help the King of Yan!
Jiang Shou reminded quietly, "Your Majesty, calm down. Prince Yan and Princess Yan also need to eat. Besides, they have two children to raise at home. They didn't mean it."
He slammed the table again, angrily saying, "So, it's still my fault?"
Jiang Shou was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise. Considering the relationship between father and son, you spared the life of the Prince of Yan. This is a grace from heaven. They are only grateful to you!"
Hearing this, the old emperor's mood improved slightly, but he still snorted coldly: "Gratitude? I can't bear it. I don't want to see that bastard who is rebellious and rebellious again!" After a pause, he said to the spy in a deep voice, "In the future, as long as the Prince of Yan behaves himself, there is no need to report to me again!"
The spy bowed his head and retreated.
Jiang Shou also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor had finally let go of this matter.
He quickly signaled with his eyes to Xiao Xuzi at the door.
Little Xuzi understood what he meant and followed him out quietly. Soon, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department came in with the concubine's name card and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the name card."
Although it is said that the number of concubines in the harem is very small, in fact, there are very few concubines, especially after the Queen's rebellion and Concubine Rong's disrespect, there are even fewer.
The emperor's eyes fell on the few signs that could be counted on one hand, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Jiang Shou." He spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "My harem has withered to this point."
Jiang Shou lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye, and could only answer respectfully: "Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history. It is a good thing that you are not obsessed with the harem, but your majesty's health is the most important thing, and the affairs of the harem cannot be ignored!"
The emperor nodded and said meaningfully, "Go report this to your mother and hear what she thinks."
It's time to mend his relationship with his mother.
Otherwise, he would be unfilial!
Jiang Shou was moved when he heard this, and he quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go to Yihe Garden tomorrow morning to report to the Queen Mother, and she will preside over the selection for you."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, then he glanced at the other brands again and finally chose Concubine Hua.
Pick the shortest one among the short ones.
He has always disliked Concubine Hua's submissive character, but he is even more reluctant to go to Concubine Yin's palace.
When I went to Concubine Yin, I couldn't help but hear her nagging about Xiao Liangce.
Now that Xiao Liangce and Xiao Hanye were restraining each other in Yanzhou, it was something he was happy to see.
So, how could he interfere?
Checking each other has always been a means for him to balance the government and the opposition.
But he didn't expect that when he arrived at Concubine Hua's palace, he would also see things he didn't want to see.
"Fuxing, what trouble have you gotten into that you have to come to my mother's palace to plunder?" Concubine Hua looked at the Eighth Princess, who seemed to be rummaging through everything, and asked worriedly.
She has always been law-abiding and self-protective, so how could she give birth to this naughty boy?
The Eighth Princess turned her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Concubine Hua innocently: "Mother, I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to find something valuable to send to my fourth brother."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua turned pale instantly. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Eighth Princess's hand, reprimanding her in a low voice, "Fuxing, do you know what you are doing? How can you interfere in the affairs of the Prince of Yan? If your father finds out, he will definitely punish you again!"
The Eighth Princess said aggrievedly, "But I want to help my fourth brother. He is blind now and has been banished to such a remote place. He also has two babies. If he has no money, how will he and his sister-in-law survive?"
Hearing this, Concubine Hua felt a pang of pain in her heart. The two of them had been taken care of by the Prince of Yan for a long time, but she was more rational than the Eighth Princess: "Fuxing, the Prince of Yan's affairs are taken care of by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. It is not our place to interfere. Even if life is a little more difficult, life is still here. Don't cause trouble for them!"
The Eighth Princess shook her head stubbornly: "It's been a month since the incident happened, and my father's anger has long subsided. Even if he knew about it, he would just scold him at most, it won't matter..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was stopped by a cold voice: "Shut up!"
Hua Fei and the Eighth Princess were startled by the Emperor's sudden appearance. They quickly knelt down and saluted, saying, "I (your son) pay my respects to Your Majesty (father)!"
"Fuxing, what are you going to do?" The emperor did not ask the two to stand up, but asked with a gloomy face.
This is really outrageous. He came to Concubine Hua to avoid Concubine Yin's nagging, but he still couldn't avoid it. How could he not be angry?
The Eighth Princess stiffened her neck and said in defense: "Father, please calm down. I just want to help my fourth brother..."
"Help your fourth brother?" The emperor interrupted her angrily, "I think you are slapping me in the face in disguise, right?"
Upon seeing this, Concubine Hua hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to beg, "Your Majesty, Fuxing is young and ignorant. I will teach her well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua, and his tone softened a little. He then taught the Eighth Princess, "Fuxing, remember, you are my princess. Your behavior represents the face of the royal family. I don't want what happened today to happen again!"
The eighth princess's tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to admit her fault and said, "Father is partial to me. Concubine Yin has also helped my eldest brother privately. Why are you targeting only my fourth brother? He has lost his eyes!"
As soon as she said this, it was like a needle piercing the emperor's heart. His face darkened and he glared at the Eighth Princess sternly.
"It seems that I have spoiled you and made you even more lawless. You don't want to learn from the good boy, but you have to imitate the rebelliousness of that wicked boy. I will let you beat you severely today!"
Hua Fei quickly slapped her down and said, "Fuxing, admit your mistake to your father!"
The Eighth Princess bit her lip tightly. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she finally compromised when she saw her mother crying anxiously, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, father!"
After she finished speaking, she snuggled in her mother's arms and burst into tears in grievance.
She didn't understand what was going on?
The seventh brother went to Youzhou to control the plague and was in great danger, while the fourth brother was blinded and exiled to Yanzhou. What on earth happened?
Seeing the tears and grievance in his daughter's eyes, after all, she was the youngest daughter and had always been the old emperor's happy pill, so he softened his heart immediately and was reluctant to let anyone beat her again, but he still said in a deep voice: "Fuxing, you dare to disobey your father, go back and reflect on yourself, and you are not allowed to step out of the palace without my permission!"
No one can challenge his authority!
