Chapter 477 Respective Performance

After a while, the palace servants entered the room and said softly: "Return to Your Majesty, Your Highnesses have finished their appearance and are listening to the announcement outside the hall."

Chunjia nodded slightly, and said, "Let them all come in."

Not long after, the emperor's heirs lined up in two distinct rows according to senior and young, and filed in one after another.

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor sized them up with interest, and saw that although the faces of King Qin and Zhaoqing were calm, there was still some anger and dissatisfaction in their expressions.

Especially Princess Zhaoqing, when she noticed the emperor's gaze, she flattened her mouth and wanted to cry.

To be honest, this eldest daughter has a delicate appearance and grew up by watching her little by little. She came to such a trick, even Chunjia had hardened her heart before turning her eyes away.

Seeing this, Zhaoqing gritted his teeth resentfully, and turned his face away angrily, not looking at the emperor.

"This little ancestor, I'm afraid I'll have to coax him when I turn around." Chunjia noticed, and smiled slightly in her heart, and continued to observe the other children.

The second emperor's expression was respectful and submissive, and her eyebrows were so obedient that she was almost pathetic... It's just that the emperor didn't have much affection for this daughter and didn't pay much attention to it.

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince had a purely obedient look, with a hint of fear.

King Jin, who was at the end, was blocked by the brothers and sisters in front because of his young age and short stature, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.

But based on Chunjia's understanding of him, I'm afraid that even if this kid is well-behaved, he must be pretending, so I don't know what to think.

As for Zhonggong's heir, the third prince was silent and respectful, with no emotion on his face.

The Tenth Prince behind him was at odds with Zhao Qing, in that kind of forced calm, unconcealable anger and grievance.

But the twelve princes were a little dazed and timid.

...Why do you feel that there is no one reliable?

Chunjia sighed inwardly, and called out in a lukewarm manner, "I heard that you just wanted to do something outside?"

"Father, this is all..." Zhaoqing and the tenth prince wanted to sue in unison, but Chunjia planned to say, "Presumptuous! If you don't designate someone to answer, if you don't designate someone to answer, I will ask you." How?! Is it possible that you haven’t learned such a little rule so far?!”

Although the emperor's methods in the court are well known.

But in the palace, he always had a gentle attitude towards the concubines and heirs.

Even if the special background of the second prince and the third prince made him have an imperial heir with a heart-to-heart, Chunjia just ignored it and never spoke harshly.

All the emperor's heirs were taken aback by such an outbreak at this moment!

Zhaoqing's expression was particularly stunned, as if he couldn't believe that his father still had such a side.

Chunjia didn't take it seriously, her eyes were cold.

Seeing the children looking at each other, it seems that they can't regain their senses. There was a moment of silence in the hall, and it was the third prince who said in a low voice: "Father, please forgive me. The sons and ministers are concerned about their mother and concubine, so they are so reckless..."

He said and looked at King Qin.

According to the rules, when the emperor did not specify who should answer the question, the oldest prince should answer the question.

It's just that King Qin was used to Chunjia's amiable appearance, so he didn't come to his senses for a while.

At this moment, he glanced at the third prince unhappily, and then stepped forward and said: "Return to the emperor's words, my son..."

After all, he had been with the emperor for a long time. Although he felt that his father was very different from usual, but after years of doting on him, it was impossible for him to alienate him all of a sudden just because of such a scolding.

Now, she still stands confidently on the standpoint of Xuanqing Palace, severely degrading the empress, mother and son!

In the end, he just begged the emperor to make some decisions for his mother.

The meaning inside and outside the words is to imply that Chunjia will deal with the queen mother and child seriously.

Chunjia hid the disappointment in his eyes, he thought to himself that the eldest son couldn't take care of him anymore, even though he was still a child at the age of eight... But, how can heirs of the royal family compare with ordinary families? He has been in school for a few years, and on such an occasion, it is fine to blame the third prince and other younger brothers, how can he say that the aunt is not?

Even if the queen is really wrong, that's not something you, a son, can criticize.

Thinking of Yun Fenghuang's repeated praise of Qin Wang's filial piety, he believed it a little at the moment. To be honest, he didn't hate such a child.

Mainly, he has many children...

It is not expected or expected that every child is smart and deep enough to entrust the community.

"Perhaps it's because the King of Qin is too fond of Ah Huang." The emperor thought to himself, "If that's the case, it's enough for him to be a virtuous king in the future."

This kind of child who can't even pretend is too straightforward.

Not suitable for ruling a dynasty.

Not to mention that he can't suppress many important ministers, even the cunning servants who serve him may not be able to suppress them.

Of course, if the emperor personally brought him by his side to train him, it would not be impossible for him to improve.

only……

Chunjia thought that she was not the only son.

Although the status of the eldest son of the emperor is special, it is not so special that he is willing to favor to this extent.

He is still more willing to train those with good aptitude.

After removing King Qin from the candidates for the crown prince, Chunjia was tolerant of him, and did not blame him very much, but said lightly: "Your mother and queen have been in a bad mood a few days ago, and I heard that your mother and concubine even arranged for you to invite An Shi to get over your illness. ...Why did you forget it in just a few days? Of course you should be filial to your mother and concubine, but you should also be sympathetic to your mother and concubine."

Seeing that the son was still a little bit upset, he sighed, and didn't bother to break up with him and reason with him, so he only let Zhaoqing talk.

Originally, Zhaoqing's speech was similar to that of King Qin: Yanfu Palace was the one who was wrong! The one who was wronged was Xuanqing Palace!

But she was smart after all. After seeing King Qin's description, the emperor not only didn't pull back immediately, but seemed to blame King Qin a little bit in his words, rolled his eyes, and immediately changed his wording: "Father, concubine mother I am deeply saddened to receive the bad news..."

The princess temporarily changed her confession, first she tried her best to exaggerate Yun Fenghuang's grief and helplessness, as well as the sympathy and grievances of her brothers and sisters, and then she continued to describe her mother's kneeling at the gate of Yanfu Palace. The weak, pitiful and helpless at first, and the indifferent and cruel Yanfu Palace...

Chunjia glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the room, and had to let her make a long story short, which interrupted Princess Zhaoqing's impromptu creation of a long essay, and finally said aggrievedly: Everything today is because the queen ignored it. Made by man!

"This is really my own daughter." The emperor sighed again, and said in his heart, "The rhetoric of angering the queen is similar...it's actually not bad at this age, but...she is an imperial daughter."

No matter how outstanding the eldest daughter's performance is, it is impossible for her to inherit the throne.

The emperor didn't say much, he waved his hand to let Zhaoqing back down, and asked the third prince to come up and talk.

Speaking of it for so many years, this is the first time that the third prince has this kind of opportunity to talk to the emperor specifically.

In the past, on such occasions, anyone in the emperor's heirs could go up and act coquettishly with the emperor, but he and the second prince, even if they were ignorant, would be ignored by Chunjia on purpose.

After coming down a few times, they also understood that no matter how happy other brothers and sisters are with Chunjia, they can only watch from the sidelines at most.

"Return to the father, this morning..." The third prince tried his best to control his emotions. In fact, he did a good job. After all, he was treated specially since he was a child, and he has long been used to patience and restraint. But in Chunjia's eyes, such a little skill Of course there is nothing to hide.

He remained calm and calmly looked at the child whom he had been neglecting all this time.

To the emperor's surprise, the third prince's description was actually very fair.

He didn't mean to belittle Xuanqing Palace, nor did he specifically emphasize Yanfu Palace's grievances. He just introduced the ins and outs in a straightforward manner, and said that his brothers came here because they heard that the King of Qin and others had come to complain, fearing that the queen would be misunderstood: "The queen mother asked the sons and ministers to go to school by themselves, but the sons and ministers cared about the queen mother, so they dared to defy the queen mother's order and come here."

The implication is that the empress did not mean to learn from the noble concubine and push her son out to be a shield and a pioneer.

They skipped class spontaneously to complain for the queen.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Chunjia couldn't accept the child's bloodline, the emperor would have given him extra points just for this gesture.

After all, no matter how excusable the scene of the imperial concubine is, the suspicion of bringing a child as a helper cannot be escaped.

In contrast, the middle palace was blocked in the palace and dared not show up and refused to ask the children to fight on their behalf. On the contrary, a few children rushed over to help their mother to stand up...the judgment was judged.

Chunjia thought for a while, and didn't say anything to the third prince, but only motioned for the next heir to answer.

...The emperor spent a lot of time this day, listening to the statements of the two heirs one by one about the turmoil.

Don't mention anything else, just talk about performance, the ones who satisfy him the most are the third prince and the seventh prince.

These two princes didn't add too much oil and vinegar.

But the style is different.

The third prince tried to remove subjective opinions as if his subordinates were reporting, and tried not to affect the judgment of the listener; but the seventh prince finished his statement and added a sentence: "The mother's phoenix body has violated harmony these days, and my son Of course we know. It’s just that the empress violated the peace. Isn’t the empress and the people in front of her not good? The concubine’s health is not very good these days, and it’s cold today. After kneeling for so long, there is no one in the Chongchang Palace. Come out... I really have to feel sorry for my mother and concubine."

Although they all felt that Yanfu Palace was not good, what the Seventh Prince said was well-founded: he seemed to have picked the Empress out of his words, but if it was spread, the Empress would not be able to get away with it.

Because if the queen refused to let the servants go out, it was the queen's fault; if the queen didn't say this, it was the queen's servant who refused to show up, which meant that the queen was incapable of training, and it was the queen's fault.

The descriptions of the second princess and the sixth prince were a bit confusing, Chun Jia listened patiently for a while, and let them go down.

The tenth prince was similar to King Qin, impulsive, angry, wronged, and justified.

I wish that Chunjia would deal with Xuanqing Palace immediately.

This disappointed the emperor very much.

Because King Qin came out to answer first, it was like wading into the muddy water for the younger brothers and sisters later.

Like Zhaoqing, didn't he immediately change his words?

Even, before the tenth prince, there were still the homework of the third prince and the seventh prince that could be copied.

As long as a child who is a little bit smart can't think of a suitable answer, he can get away with it if he agrees with these two on the spot.

The Tenth Prince copied King Qin, this...

Thinking of what the imperial concubine said before, Chunjia couldn't help frowning secretly.

He felt that the Tenth Prince was useless, and even more that Gu Zhen really didn't know how to raise children.

No, maybe the concubine's hint is true, the queen actually doesn't want the tenth prince to be on the throne for the sake of her own family.

After all, the twelve princes are the ones with Gu's blood, and they are the princes that Gu thinks reliable.

But the performance of the twelve princes today was not very good.

He was very shy, and after being encouraged by the third prince's soft voice for a long time, he came out to answer tremblingly.

The voice was as light as a gnat, and Chun Jia, who was sitting on top, couldn't hear it clearly.

In the end, it was the third prince who raised his voice sentence by sentence, so that the emperor could understand what he was talking about... The twelfth prince didn't mean to add embellishment, the main reason was that he was very nervous when describing what happened, and couldn't care about other things at all.

After stumbling and talking about what happened, the twelve princes immediately hid behind the third prince just like they had narrowly escaped death.

The third prince also subconsciously protected him, and immediately realized that his complexion changed slightly, and he backed away with his head down.

Chunjia didn't seem to notice this detail, and only signaled King Jin to come forward.

King Jin was obviously more courageous than his elder twelve princes.

Even Princess Zhaoqing didn't dare to make a mistake just now, he dared to raise his head and smiled sweetly at the emperor, and he didn't care that Chunjia looked at him expressionlessly, and said slowly: "Father, my son I’m hungry, and I’m missing my concubine too! Can I go back to the harem to see my concubine?”

Saying this, not only the brothers and sisters were stunned, Chunjia's mouth was also twitched, and for a while he couldn't figure out what this little brat was thinking: "I'm asking, who allows you to talk about other things?! "

He has been in power for many years and has built up his prestige, but just now he only had a slight outburst. A child like Qin Wang Zhaoqing who was usually favored did not dare to act presumptuously.

With a straight face at this moment, all the descendants subconsciously stood up a little bit.

Only Jin Wangman didn't care and said: "Father, your brothers and sisters are older, but Erchen is young...I don't know what's going on! Erchen came here with his older brothers and sisters."

Chunjia laughed angrily: "Really? Why did I hear that before Yanfu Palace, it was you who suggested that your elder brother and elder sister come to Taichu Palace as the leader?"

This brat really thinks he can talk nonsense in front of me? !

Is your father my emperor for nothing?

"The ministers just feel that the queen's mother's body is out of harmony these days, so it's not appropriate to bother her anymore." King Jin said eloquently, "The ministers are young, so of course they have to go to their parents. If the mother's mother is ill, who else can I turn to if I don't go to my father?" ?”

With his calm expression, he obviously didn't take Chunjia's displeasure to heart at all... This made Chunjia very puzzled, this son...

As Yun Fenghuang's only biological flesh and blood so far, the emperor of course paid more attention to King Jin.

But how to say, this child is only so old, and the time spent with him is not as good as that of Qin Wang Zhaoqing. Even Qin Wang Zhaoqing is scared, so he doesn't know how to be afraid?

Is this stupid or does it pay off?

The emperor turned his mind, and suddenly his face sank, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! Who allows you to talk to me like this!"
