Chapter 351 Hearts (1)
The Sixth Prince had obviously been troubled by this matter for a long time. After saying it, the huge rock that was pressing on his heart seemed to have been removed, and he felt much more relaxed.
Cheng Jinrong listened quietly and stared at the Sixth Prince silently.
"Cousin Rong, are you very disappointed with me?" The Sixth Prince asked in a low voice: "Am I very unpromising?"
Cheng Jinrong's eyes were as gentle as water: "No, Your Highness values love and righteousness, treats others sincerely, and is willing to give in to the full extent of brotherhood. I admire Your Highness very much."
"To be honest with Your Highness, from my point of view, I hope that Your Highness can be the crown prince. I am willing to support Your Highness with all my strength. But all this requires Your Highness to make up his mind. No one can make such an important decision on behalf of Your Highness."
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself for your own thoughts. Just think slowly without thinking clearly. It's okay to give in a few steps for the time being, and it's okay to retreat."
"One day, Your Highness has figured it out or made up his mind, and I will still fully support Your Highness."
This speech quickly sootheed the sixth prince's uneasiness.
The sixth prince finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned: "Cousin Rong, it's really strange. When I am in a bad mood, I want to talk to you the most. As soon as you say a few words, I feel much more at ease."
"Sometimes I even feel that you are like my own sister."
Cheng Jinrong's heart was shocked.
Could it be that the Sixth Prince noticed something was wrong and was trying to test it out?
The Sixth Prince's expression was no different, and he continued to whisper: "Don't tell the Queen of Mother what I say to you today. Otherwise, Queen of Mother will definitely be disappointed with me."
It seems that Empress Pei did say anything to the Sixth Prince about the throne.
Cheng Jinrong replied softly: "Okay, I promise Your Highness that's right."
The Sixth Prince had been in trouble for most of his thoughts and his mood improved: "It's still half a day to go, and I'm so bored alone in the carriage. Let's take the same car with me! Let's play chess!"
Cheng Jinrong responded with a smile.
The sixth prince quickly took out the jade chessboard. One of them held a black piece and the other held a white piece.
The imperial carriage set off again, and the carriage moved forward smoothly and quickly. The chess pieces fell on the chessboard, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
...
Before dark, Emperor Xuanhe finally returned to the palace.
Duke of Wei, Duke of Jingguo, and Hou Yong'an, and others welcomed the palace gate with several princes.
Emperor Xuanhe did not even show his face, so he directly ordered the palace gate to open and the imperial chariot to enter the palace. The imperial guards stayed outside the palace, and the imperial guards all dismounted and accompanied them.
Cheng Jinrong and Du Tidian got off the carriage together and followed the imperial chariot into the palace gate.
The sixth prince stopped riding the carriage and quickly got off the carriage.
As soon as the sixth prince appeared, he immediately became the focus of the princes' attention.
He was very well-behaved. Before his brothers could speak, he stepped forward and bowed with his fists: "Xiao Liu has seen all the emperor brothers."
The eldest prince, who was busy for the past two days, squeezed out a smile: "I haven't seen each other for three months, and Xiao Liu has grown taller and grown up. Fortunately, you are by your side and share your worries for your father."
The second prince also pulled up the corner of his mouth and patted the sixth prince's shoulder lightly and seriously: "Yes, Xiao Liu's brothers are filial, we must thank Xiao Liu."
The sixth prince was mentally prepared, suppressed his depression and replied with a smile: "The eldest brother and the second brother are serious. I am a little weak, but I am just talking to my father on weekdays and dare not take credit for my contributions. During this period, the person who really worked hard is the eldest brother and the second brother."
He also said affectionately to the fourth prince and the fifth prince: "I have not been able to study with the fourth prince and the fifth prince during these days, and I don't know how much of my studies have been lost. I will ask the two princes for advice tomorrow."
The fourth and fifth princes each agreed with a smile.
The princes had to rush to Baohe Palace to meet, and they didn't have much time to make things difficult for the sixth prince. They exchanged a few words of dissatisfaction and then took them to Baohe Palace.
Duke Wei and others saw it and each had their own concerns.
The border war is urgent, and the princes are competing against each other, so don’t worry about it for the time being.
Who to be appointed as the crown prince depends on Emperor Xuanhe's intention.
...
Emperor Xuanhe traveled all day long. In order to maintain the emperor's majesty, no one was allowed to support him when he got off the chariot, so he just held him into Baohe Hall.
After entering the hall, Emperor Xuanhe could no longer hold on and his face was exhausted. Empress Pei supported Emperor Xuanhe and lay down on the dragon couch, and urgently ordered: "Xuan Du mentioned that Imperial Doctor Cheng came in."
Cheng Jinrong quickly entered the bedroom and changed the dressings for Emperor Xuanhe.
Du Ti ordered the prescription and asked the medicine boy to boil the medicine and waited for Emperor Xuanhe to drink it.
As for Duke Wei and others and a group of princes, they were waiting outside Baohe Hall to summon it. This wait took only one hour.
No one dared to mention the emperor's dragon body at this time, and only secretly guessed it in his heart. Duke Wei and Duke Jingguo occasionally looked at each other and both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.
When the border war broke out, the people in the capital were panicked, and the officials in the court were also restless. Only when Emperor Xuanhe showed up can people's hearts be stabilized.
But Emperor Xuanhe's dragon body is clearly not very good yet. I don't know what happened...
Half an hour later, the imperial guard He Qi came to announce the oral order: "The emperor has an order to ask Duke Wei Guo Jingguo to meet him."
Duke Wei Guo, Jing Guo, were all cunning and old people. Without showing any surprise, he bowed his hands and entered Baohe Hall together.
It is clear that Duke Wei Guo, Duke Jingguo, was more trusted by the emperor. Yong'an Hou and others who continued to wait outside Baohe Hall would naturally not be in a wonderful mood. However, as a minister, he did not dare to show any resentment.
Haven't you seen a few princes waiting for you?
Emperor Xuanhe did not even summon the most beloved eldest prince, which shows how bad the mood was. At this time, the meeting of the Saint was really not a bad person.
Another half an hour was in a blink of an eye.
The person who came out this time was Eunuch Zhao.
Eunuch Zhao said respectfully: "Thank you a few of your highness and the marquis to wait here. I am hereby order from the emperor and ask you to sit in the side hall and fill your stomach with some refreshments."
It is also the grace of the emperor that you can sit and wait, and you can eat some snacks and drink some tea.
Everyone thanked Tianxiang together and entered the side hall under the guidance of Eunuch Zhao.
After entering the hall, the tense atmosphere eased slightly.
The second prince glanced at the sixth prince and took the initiative to greet the sixth prince sitting beside him. The sixth prince responded with a smile and sat in the same place with the second prince.
The eldest prince and others were all there, each with agile ear. The second prince would never say anything that shouldn't have said at this time. He called the sixth prince over here just to show the harmony of his brothers in front of everyone.
After a while, Yong'an Hou and others were summoned to meet.
After waiting for another half an hour, it was the turn of several princes. Surprisingly, the sixth prince was missed among the princes: "...The emperor has an order. His Highness, the Sixth Prince, is young and does not know about politics. You can go back to the bedroom to rest early."
