marry a princess

Chapter 8
Inside the Chamber.

Yu Liansheng wanted to go forward to comfort the emperor, but seeing his exposed expression at this time, he finally stood where he was.He has been serving the emperor since he entered the palace at the age of seven, and he knows the emperor's temperament. If he persuades him now, not only will he not be able to help King Ningqing, but it will add fuel to the fire.

The same is true for King Ningqing, knowing that the emperor loves him, why doesn't he understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, and always opposes the emperor?Looking at the father and son who were almost at war, Yu Liansheng sighed secretly, hoping that Yuan Hongyi would not continue to anger the emperor.

Seeing Yuan Hongyi staring at him for a long time without saying a word, the emperor scooped up the tea bowl on the table and threw it at Yuan Hongyi.There was a clear sound of "pa", the tea bowl fell to Yuan Hongyi's feet and fell to pieces, the tea splashed all over him and spilled all over the floor.

Yu Liansheng was terrified when he saw it, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, wishing he could go over and press Yuan Hongyi on the ground, and kowtow to the emperor to admit his mistake.

"You still don't know how to repent?" The emperor stared at Yuan Hongyi, feeling angry, helpless, and suspicious. He couldn't believe that his most beloved and valued son would become what he is now.

Yuan Hongyi remained silent, glanced at the hem of the clothes casually, brushed off the tea leaves on the hem of the clothes, raised his head, met the emperor's angry eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

"Niezi! Niezi! How could I raise such a scoundrel like you!" The emperor pointed at Yuan Hongyi tremblingly, and said without hesitation.

Yuan Hongyi laughed frivolously, and said disapprovingly, "Shouldn't you know better than anyone else how my son became what he is today?"

"You!" The emperor was annoyed.Turning his back, trembling slightly, for a long time, Fu turned around and pointed at Yuan Hongyi, angrily, "Did you forget how your mother taught you when you were young? If your mother is still there, seeing you now... "

"Shut up!" Yuan Hongyi interrupted the emperor furiously, subconsciously shook the hand hanging by his side, stared at him with hatred, and said coldly, "Anyone is qualified to mention the queen mother, only you are not qualified!" If it weren't for him How could the empress mother die innocently, and how could he and the sixth younger brother have fallen to where they are today.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuan Hongyi, he was speechless in a daze.Does Hongyi really hate him so much?
"Hongyi, I..."

Yuan Hongyi interrupted him, and said coldly, "Don't use the so-called Jiangshan Sheji in your mouth anymore, the people of Limin tried to persuade me to forgive you. As I said, I will never forgive you!"

The emperor frowned, feeling a dull pain from the bottom of his heart, "You hate me, just come here for me, why do you want to vent your dissatisfaction on innocent people?"

"Innocent?" As if hearing the most ridiculous and absurd joke in the world, Yuan Hongyi laughed wildly. Only his laughter was heard in the hall silently, and it lasted for a long time. "They are innocent. Isn't the mother innocent? Are they innocent?" You make decisions for them, but what about the queen mother, who will make decisions for the queen mother?"

The emperor stood there with a pale face, Aru, tell me, what can I do to erase the hatred in Hongyi's heart?
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will go to give love to the emperor's grandparents. Hongyi is still waiting for me to listen to her singing in Tianxiang Tower!" Saying this, Yuan Hongyi glanced at the emperor provocatively, Turn around and go straight to the outside of the meeting hall.

The door of the palace opened, and the Empress Dowager, Empress, Bai Ziwan, Lin Shi, Zeng Shi, and the Eighth Princess hurried in from outside.Yuan Hongyi paused, and went forward to greet the empress dowager, and after the others greeted the emperor, the emperor also came to greet the empress dowager.

"Why is the queen mother here at this time?" The emperor turned his head and glanced at Yu Liansheng.Yu Liansheng was startled, and quickly lowered his head.

Who is so talkative, telling the empress dowager and the empress about this place?If he finds out, he must cut off his tongue and feed it to the dogs!
"The Ai family heard... Your Majesty, what's going on?" The Empress Dowager pointed to the broken tea bowl and memorial on the ground.Turning her head, she instructed Xin Er who was beside her, "Hurry up and clean it up, otherwise what will happen if you accidentally cut the emperor?"

Bai Ziwan pursed her lips.Ancient people just like to make a fuss, especially the royal family. Yuan Haochu is not a three-year-old child who will cut himself?Raising his eyes, he bumped into Yuan Hongyi's looking eyes inadvertently, was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head again.

No, she didn't do anything wrong, why are she afraid of him?Thinking of this, Bai Ziwan raised his head again, and gave Yuan Hongyi a mischievous look.Seeing him suddenly stunned, her eyes lit up suddenly, she turned her head, and chuckled softly.

"What made Yingying smile so happily, and let us listen to it?" The Empress Dowager looked at Bai Ziwan and asked kindly.

The others also looked at Bai Ziwan.Bai Ziwan was taken aback, let them listen?If they knew what he was laughing at, he would be extremely happy and sad.Seeing the schadenfreude in Yuan Hongyi's eyes, Bai Ziwan pursed her lips and bowed her head in silence.

"I heard that the emperor and Hongyi had a quarrel, what happened?" The queen glanced at Bai Ziwan and asked with a cunning smile.

The emperor said, "The queen doesn't need to worry about small things." Looking at the empress dowager, "Mother, there are still memorials for the sons and ministers to review..."

Seeing the way the emperor looked at her, the empress dowager suddenly realized that she had lived most of her life, but today she fell into someone else's trap. "That's it, Ai's family will go back." He said to the others, "You all go back to your respective homes too."

Everyone bowed to the emperor and went to Zhaoyang Hall together with the empress dowager.Yu Liansheng heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Yuan Haochu fearfully. It was okay, he was safe, otherwise the emperor would have to skin him soon.

"Your majesty," the queen said a few steps forward, "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

The emperor frowned, "Since the queen doesn't know what to say is inappropriate, go back and think about it before it's too late."

The queen was taken aback, did he really favor him so much?Turning her head to look at Yuan Hongyi, the queen said, "Yesterday my concubine asked Feng Ran to go shopping outside the palace, and I overheard the people talking about something. I didn't want to tell the emperor to annoy him, but this matter The matter is of great importance, and the ministers and concubines are afraid of damaging the majesty of the royal family, so they have to say it."

Everyone was silent.

The queen said, "It is said that Hongyi beat a young man surnamed Su until he was crippled a few days ago in order to compete for a woman in a brothel. Not only that, King Ningqing also threatened him not to reveal a word about this matter, otherwise he would let him The whole family will be buried with him."

"So, how do others know?" The Empress Dowager asked with a frown.

The queen said, "Going back to the empress dowager, although Mr. Su didn't tell others about the matter, after all, the fire can't be covered with paper. In the past few days, people outside have said that our royal family bullies others, and other people will be punished for doing wrong things, but Hong Yi is getting away with it. "

The emperor stared at the empress coldly, "Empress, you don't need to worry, I have my own opinion on this matter, please kneel down." After finishing speaking, he walked to the case table.

"Your Majesty," no matter what, she absolutely couldn't let that bitch's child stay in the palace. "The concubine knows that you love Hongyi, but the prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. If the emperor doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the people's mouth."

"Presumptuous!" The emperor turned around and said, "I don't need the queen to teach me how to do it! The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I hope the queen will firmly remember these six words!"

Bai Ziwan has been standing next to the empress dowager, watching everything in front of him.

"Your majesty," the queen knelt down with a plop, "The concubine knows that the emperor is the kindness of Gu Nian and the queen, so she does not want to punish Hongyi more, and the concubine does not want to embarrass the emperor. , favoring King Ningqing again and again, otherwise, how can the emperor convince the people in the long run?"

Although the queen was aggressive, every word she said made sense.Over the years, because of his guilt towards Aru, he has been turning a blind eye to Hongyi's actions, and he has always suppressed the papers presented by ministers.

But this time, because of a brothel girl, Hongyi beat her to a cripple in front of everyone.Just now he quarreled with Hongyi because of the memorial he presented, but now... he was forced to send Tianyi to the northeast, now he will be forced to send Hongyi away again?
Unable to bear Yuan Haochu's embarrassment, the empress dowager said, "What the empress said is absolutely true, the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, the emperor can no longer continue to favor King Ningqing."

Everyone looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise.

"Mother..." Seeing the reluctance and helplessness in the empress dowager's eyes, Yuan Haochu closed his eyes in pain, then turned his head and told Yu Liansheng, "Grind for me."
