PDLP Chapter 106 Summoned by the Queen
Chapter 106 Summoned by the Queen
Golden Palace
The prince stood in front of the palace, as steady as a rock, his face calm, as if he was not the main character in the ministers' free speech.
But in his heart, he was very satisfied with the result, and he wished that the fermentation would be as strong as possible.
The second prince Liang Hengrui beside him secretly glanced at the prince who was still pretending to be indifferent.
He quickly turned sideways, put a fist to his mouth and pretended to cough lightly, but his lowered black eyes flashed with gloating, excitement and shadows.
On the other hand, Emperor Kun, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a smile on his face, as if he did not hear the noise in the hall. He supported his head with his crooked hand, but his eyes were drifting somewhere unknown.
The ministers were so excited that day that they seemed to be injected with chicken blood.

The East Palace at night
In the outer study,
The candlelight was bright, and the prince stood at the window looking at the full moon in the sky, his mood not affected at all by the events of the morning court.
In my mind, I was imagining the cute little woman teasing the children with her eyes curved into a smile, and I couldn't help but smile slightly.
*
Eunuch Fu handed over a cup of fragrant tea and said with a smile,
"Your Highness, what makes you so happy?"
"nothing."
The prince suppressed the smile on his face, took the teacup and took a sip.
"Afu, this tea is good."
"Hehe, Your Highness, this is the new tea that the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent. Let me show you a taste."
The prince nodded and took another sip.
At this time,
Advisor Qin Huai walked in, bowed and said:
"Your Highness, I have made all the arrangements. Are we just going to let it ferment without suppressing it?"
The prince in front of the window walked to the desk and whispered:
"Qin Huai, don't you think that the more they jump, the higher their tails will be?
There are some proverbs in the folk sayings: A rabbit’s tail cannot grow long. A grasshopper in autumn cannot jump for more than a few days! "
"what?"
Qin Huai was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard the Crown Prince, who was always serious and cold, say such a witty remark.
Qin Huai and Eunuch Fu suddenly came to their senses and laughed softly.
*
Qin Huai said seriously,
"Your Highness, what you mean is that we should retreat in order to advance and let the situation develop.
These selfish, profit-driven people will cross the line once their desires expand. They will be so greedy that their morale will be weakened. At that time, it will be very difficult for them to return to their original intentions?! "
The prince curled his lips slightly and nodded approvingly.
But still a word of advice,
"Qin Huai, my plan is a long-term one. You will all suffer from this."
Qin Huai's eyes lit up and he clasped his hands together and said:
"Your Highness, we, your subordinates, swear to follow you till death, and will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Fu expressed his positive attitude with a burning look in his eyes:
"Your Highness, I am your shadow. You can't leave Ah Fu behind!"
The prince looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded, the bright light in his eyes was like a sea of stars.
*
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the study door.
Eunuch Fu opened the door and walked out, then came in with his godson, Eunuch Xiaodouzi.
"Your Highness, Xiaodouzi has something to report!"
Xiao Douzi bowed to the prince and said:
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Queen has sent a palace maid to tell you to go to Kunning Palace as soon as possible."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"The palace maids don't know, they just said that the Queen has an urgent matter to ask you."
The prince frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he raised his head slightly and said to Eunuch Fu:
"Let's go! Let's go to Kunning Palace."
"Here!"
Eunuch Fu followed the prince out of the outer study.
*
Advisor Qin Huai bowed and saluted as the prince left. He stood up and shook his head helplessly.
Heart Road:
"If the prince had a son, would those old men in the court still be as happy as they are today?"
After walking a few steps, he thought of another level.
If the prince did not have the weakness of having no children that could be attacked, would they have stopped?
No, by then they will come up with other tricks and find other weaknesses of the prince to attack.
The fight between the two factions, whether in the court or outside, is a fight to the death, so where does mercy come from?
After thinking this through, Qin Huai raised his palm and slapped his forehead hard. With a crisp "snap" sound, he said:
"Oh! My brain is really crazy."
*
At this time, Xiaodouzi, who was waiting on the side and was frightened by the sound, hurried forward and asked with concern.
"Hey, Master Qin, what's wrong with your head? Do you have a headache? You must take care of yourself!"
Qin Huai smiled and walked over to pat Xiao Douzi on the shoulder.
"Nothing, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something. Oh! I'm only getting older but not smarter! Hehehe..."
After saying that, he shook his head and walked away. Xiao Douzi was left at the door of the study room, looking confused. He muttered to himself,
"What's going on today? Everyone's faces are so unpredictable and mysterious."
**
The Queen's Kunning Palace.
The hall was brightly lit.
The Empress, wearing a phoenix robe, sat in the main seat. Below her sat a pretty young lady, who turned out to be the Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking.
"Xue'er, why didn't you tell your aunt earlier? You kept such a big thing from me, how can you expect your aunt to make the decision for you?"
Zhao Yaxue put her arms around the Queen's arms affectionately and said coquettishly:
"Aunt, what do you want Xue'er to say? Can you say that my cousin has recovered from his illness and he won't touch Xue'er?"
As he said this, he buried his head in the Queen's arms shyly, as if sad and upset.
The queen touched her pretty little face helplessly and said with pity.
"It's all because the prince is too willful. I indulged him too much. You, my good child, have suffered."
"Aunt, Xue'er has you loving her, so it's not hard. As long as my cousin the Crown Prince doesn't have someone else in his heart, Xue'er believes that one day he will see the good in me."
"Well, you are right to think so. But you can't indulge the Crown Prince like this. You two should hurry up and add a new child to the East Palace."
"Yes, aunt."
*
As soon as the prince came in, he saw this heartwarming scene of a loving mother and a filial son.
He stepped forward and bowed.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
When the Queen saw her son whom she had not seen for many days, her eyes brightened and she smiled and said,
"Please sit down, Prince!"
Zhao Yaxue also hurriedly stood up and saluted to the prince:
"Your Highness, long live your Highness."
"Well, no courtesy."
The Crown Princess straightened up awkwardly upon hearing this.
The Queen looked at the attitude of the young couple and sighed slightly.
"Prince, your mother asked you to come here so late. You should have guessed it without her saying it, right?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"As for today's court affairs, my mother knows that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. But my prince, do you think that the things they reported are considered the affairs of the harem?"
The prince did not speak. The queen seemed to have a headache again, and she gently held her forehead and sighed deeply.
At this time, the Queen Mother's personal nanny served the Prince a cup of tea.
The prince said:
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
