Chapter 60 The Son of Heaven

The big court meeting once every ten days, and it is a small court meeting on weekdays. When there are important political affairs, the small court meeting will be held on the previous day. Government affairs are not so urgent and important, and the small court meeting will be held for half a day.

Baohe Hall was the place where Emperor Xuanhe handled political affairs. No concubines in the harem were allowed to approach. The princes only had the opportunity to enter Baohe Hall when the emperor summoned him.

The sixth prince is still young, so he has only visited Baohe Palace for a few times.

Pei Zhang was a second prince's companion and had joined the second prince in Baohe Palace. However, this time he was summoned by Xuan, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Cousin Pei," the sixth prince whispered, "Don't worry. If the father is angry, I will apologize and will not affect you."

Pei Zhang's heart warmed slightly.

He was the second prince companion for several years. Once the second prince caused trouble, he took the lead in receiving punishment. To put it bluntly, he had been used to taking the blame for it...

Although they are brothers of one mother and his compatriots, the sixth prince and the second prince have completely different temperaments.

"Don't worry, your highness." Pei Zhang lowered his voice to comfort him, "It's just sneaking out of the palace. His princes, no one has done similar things. The emperor will not be furious about Longyan."

As a young man, being naughty and active is his nature, and it is nothing to cause trouble occasionally. Emperor Xuanhe is the emperor and his father. He will not make a big fuss about this little thing.

...

It was not as expected by Pei Zhang.

Emperor Xuan and Emperor Xuan summoned the two of them to come, neither getting angry nor scolding, but only asked lightly, "Xiao Liu, what have you been doing when you leave the palace today?"

Emperor Xuanhe was nearly 40 years old and had a handsome face.

Emperor Xuanhe led troops to fight when he was young. After ascending the throne, he maintained the habit of practicing martial arts all year round. Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Xuanhe, wearing a dragon robe, showed his domineering aura, and the emperor's pressure came towards him, and no one dared to look at him.

All the princes all value martial arts over literature. They like to ride horses and shoot arrows, and they will have headaches when they enter the study. The sixth prince and the princes have different temperaments. When they get on the horse, they look sad and feel like fish in water when they enter the study.

The sixth prince is usually abide by the rules and obedient. No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a naughty boy who can skip classes and sneak out to play. But he did this today.

While Emperor Xuanhe was amused, he actually gave birth to a subtle pleasure of "This is like my son."

The sixth prince lowered his head and apologized, "I went out of the palace today to the Cheng family and gave a gift to the Cheng cousin who was in the custody."

Cheng Family?

Emperor Xuanhe glanced and skipped over Pei Zhang.

Pei Zhang bowed his head and claimed the crime, "It's all mine. A few days ago, I mentioned it before the palace. Your Highness didn't see the cousin of the Cheng family, and was curious and wanted to go to the Cheng family. I nodded and agreed. Today, I sneaked out of the palace with Your Highness and went to the Cheng family. Please punish the emperor!"

The sixth prince immediately stole the conversation, "I insisted on going, and Cousin Pei was forced out of the palace by his son minister. If the father wants to punish me!"

Emperor Xuan He said lightly, "I should skip class privately and sneak out of the palace. I should indeed be punished!"

The eldest prince who stood aside to serve Bimo smiled and pleaded for the two of them, "The sixth brother is still young and has hardly left the palace. It is inevitable that he is curious and impulsive. When the son was eight years old, he escaped class and left the palace. The father should spare the sixth brother this time!"

The eldest prince Yuan Su is nineteen years old this year.

In terms of appearance, the eldest prince is the most like Emperor Xuanhe. He is tall and extremely heroic.

When it comes to practicing martial arts, cavalry and shooting, the eldest prince has outstanding talent, and no one can match it among the princes.

In the past three years, the eldest prince worked in the Ministry of War, and did his best, without any mistakes. Emperor Xuanhe loved his eldest son and often summoned the eldest prince to Baohe Hall to serve the pen and mo.

When serving the pen and ink, you just listen to the discussions of the ministers and learn the ways of the emperor.

Everyone knows Emperor Xuanhe’s preference for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince's concubine Ye is the eldest granddaughter of Duke Jingguo. She has outstanding appearance and outstanding talent. She even has a particularly strong belly. She became pregnant less than half a year after marrying the eldest prince. She gave birth to the eldest grandson the next year before.

Xuanhe Emperor Long was very happy and rewarded the eldest prince's concubine and the eldest grandson.

However, the eldest prince is good in everything, but he is not as good as the second prince.

The second prince is the legitimate son of Empress Pei. According to the practice of becoming a crown prince in the Great Chu, there is a legitimate son in the right place, but no legitimate son in the right place. As long as the second prince does not make a big mistake, it will not be the turn of the crown prince as the crown prince.

...

The eldest prince opened his mouth to plead, Emperor Xuanhe calmed down and glanced at the sixth prince quietly, "Today your royal brother pleaded for you, I will spare you this time."

"This is only once, no example!"

The sixth prince did not expect to pass the test so easily. He looked happy and bowed to thank him, "Thank you for your grace."

Then, he bowed and thanked the eldest prince, "Thank you, brother, for pleading for me."

The eldest prince smiled and said, "Brothers, wouldn't you see me? If I made a mistake today, you can still stand by and watch!"

The sixth prince responded seriously, "If the elder brother makes a big mistake in the future, I will definitely plead for the elder brother!"

That serious and cute look is really pleasing.

Emperor Xuanhe smiled rare and casually told him, "Go to the Jiaofang Hall and say to your queen. So that your queen will not be worried and have aggravated your anxiety."

The Sixth Prince agreed obediently.

On this side, the father is kind and the son is filial and the brothers are harmonious, and Pei Zhang is left aside, which is both embarrassing and glad.

The sixth prince was not punished, I think he was...

"Pei Zhang!" Emperor Xuanhe suddenly opened his mouth, "Xiao Liu is still young and ignorant. You are sixteen this year, don't you know what it is to leave the palace privately?"

"I punish you for copying the palace rules a hundred times, are you convinced?"

Pei Zhang "..."

The son is reluctant to give up the punishment, but the queen and nephew are not feeling sorry for him at all.

Pei Zhang felt sorry for his heart, and did not dare to express any of his words on his face. He respectfully received the punishment, "I thank the emperor for his grace, I am convinced."

...

The sixth prince was filled with guilt and left Baohe Palace and whispered, "Cousin, you can copy the palace rules a hundred times, just copy them fifty times. I will copy them fifty times."

Pei Zhang was so amused and refused. However, the gentle sixth prince insisted, "I was implicated by you. My father couldn't bear to punish me, I only punish you one. How unfair this is to you!"

Pei Zhang had no choice but to respond with a smile.

The sixth prince was relieved and raised his foot and went to the Jiaofang Hall again.

My mother likes cousin Rong so much. I know that he has gone to Cheng’s house privately, so my mother will definitely show off her face! Maybe it’s noon today, my mother will keep him for lunch.

The sixth prince was happily planning and his pace was getting faster and faster.

As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Hall, the sixth prince naturally took a lighter pace.

The palace maids guarding outside the dormitory were about to salute. The sixth prince shook his head slightly and pushed the door gently into it.

Empress Pei, who was depressed and weak, sat quietly by the window and stared at the crabapple tree. Hearing the footsteps, Empress Pei quickly wiped the water from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Why did the mother cry alone?
