Chapter 176: Little Prince【09】
King Jianping angrily said: "Don't talk nonsense!"
The smile on Yuan Jia's face faded, he pushed open the inner door directly, and then his eyes fell on Xie Ying who was drilling into the cabinet.
Xie Ying climbed halfway into the cabinet, and suddenly heard the sound of pushing the door, and looked out, just in line with the sarcastic gaze of his brother-in-law, making him stand frozen in shock, at a loss.
Yuan Jia sneered and said, "It's no wonder that my father doesn't allow me to come in, so the second brother is here."
"Second brother, what are you hiding? You're panicking in the closet. Come out." Seeing that Xie Ying was still standing there, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He took two steps back and closed the small door inside. Now, looking at King Jianping, the smile on his face was sarcastic: "Father, if I had known that the second brother was inside, I should have avoided it. After all, I am a nonsense when I enter the room."
King Jianping was speechless, and he was bumped by his son-in-law. For a while, he really didn't know how to explain it.
If he didn't have a guilty conscience and let Xie Ying hide in the inner room, let Yuan Jia see it directly and generously, and make any excuses, such as calling Xie Ying to the study to compare his homework.
But now he told Xie Yingjin to avoid meeting Yuan Jia, but Yuan Jia saw it anyway, and it would be a little too obvious to explain this situation.
Yuan Jia also didn't want to completely tear his face with King Jianping. After all, in this society that pays attention to filial piety, if he quarrels with King Jianping over this trivial matter, it will only damage his reputation.
So he still had a gentle smile on his face, and said to King Jianping: "Then I won't disturb the father and the second brother, and I will retire first."
He left the study room calmly, which made King Jianping feel a little nervous.
Xie Ying, who finally crawled out of the cabinet, lay on the door and listened to the movement outside, as if her brother-in-law had left. He cautiously opened the small door and took a look out, and it turned out that it was right in front of King Jianping's eyes.
Xie Ying: "…"
Jianping Wang frowned: "Come out!"
Xie Ying walked out embarrassedly, not daring to look at King Jianping, and lowered her head.
King Jianping looked at his concubine with a hair top facing him, his face turned blue with anger, and reprimanded: "You are really more than a failure, and even if you hide, you can be seen by your elder brother, or when you climb the cabinet, you will be caught. I see. Why don't you have the wit of your elder brother?"
Both were born from the same father, why is the gap so big?
King Jianping couldn't help but doubt the intelligence of his concubine Lu Shi.
The two sons are his own father. Except for the difference in the mother, I really can't think of any reason why the difference in IQ between the two sons is so big.
However, no matter how King Jianping reprimanded, Xie Ying kept her head down and said nothing until he finished the reprimand.
But Jianping Wang Yuexun became more and more angry and couldn't help waving his hand: "Okay, get out, I see you are upset!"
Xie Ying hurriedly slipped out: "My son retire." In fact, he didn't want to see his father, and his legs went weak when he saw him.
Xie Ying also couldn't understand, since the father felt that he was inferior to his brother in every way, why did he always hold him to educate him in private, as if he wanted to train him as his heir?
In fact, he felt that he could honestly be a concubine of the royal family, and he would not worry about the 10% of the family's property in the future, and he didn't want to fight with his elder brother.
And Jianping Wang was angry at Xie Ying's lack of ambition.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia returned to Princess Xihua's residence from Jianping Wangfu, and told Princess Xihua what happened today: "Mother, I went to see Father Wang today, and I saw my second brother in his big study, the strangest thing. The only thing is that the father seems to have asked the second brother to hide, so that I cannot see him in the study."
The person he can trust most in this world is neither King Jianping nor the emperor, but the biological mother of Princess Xihua.
He could feel Princess Xihua's fiery and flawless maternal love for him, the love that was not mixed with any impurities.
When Princess Xihua heard this, she immediately realized what King Jianping's behavior meant. Liu eyebrows stood upright, and she said angrily, "What a King Jianping, this is trying to abolish the successor!"
Princess Xihua stood up angrily and wanted to go to Jianping's palace to find trouble with King Jianping. Even if she couldn't find trouble with King Jianping, she had to teach Lu Shi and Xie Ying a lesson, two restless things.
However, she quickly calmed down again. This was just a omen. Even if she went to King Jianping to question him, he would be able to push her two, five or six, and find seven or eight excuses to perfunctory her.
Princess Xihua looked at Yuan Jia and said, "It must be that Mr. Lu's heart is big, and he deliberately asked Xie Ying, a shy son, to please your father. , it's called a villain to take advantage of it. We will move to the palace tomorrow!"
Yuan Jia: "...Mum, you'll be happy."
He looked at the high-spirited Princess Xihua and couldn't say anything to refuse.
In fact, he felt that King Jianping trained Xie Ying very well, and he did not want to rebel against King Jianping.
But it's better to move back to Jianping Wang's mansion. Although Yuan Jia didn't want to rebel with Jianping Wang, he still wanted to sabotage Jianping Wang's rebellion plan.
In any case, King Jianping is his biological father in this life. King Jianping was dealt with for treason. Can he, a son, stay out of it?
King Jianping didn't trust him, he couldn't dissuade King Jianping with gentle means, but there was no problem in secretly sabotaging them to prevent their rebellion.
In this way, the mother and son moved back to the Jianping Palace the next day.
Princess Xihua suddenly moved back to live, and her daily necessities were moved from the Princess Palace back to Jianping Palace like flowing water. Her attitude of wanting to live for a long time made the people in Jianping Palace feel uneasy.
King Jianping was worried that Princess Xihua was coming back to settle accounts with him, and he was desperately thinking about how to find a reason to lie.
And the concubines of King Jianping such as the Lu family were afraid of a big mountain above their heads.
Princess Xihua lived in the princess' mansion before, and these concubines stayed in the palace of Jianping. Although they were not favored by the prince, they lived a very happy life without the mistress, especially the Lu family who gave birth to Xie Ying. , looking at Xie Ying's face, Lu Shi can also shake in the palace.
Lu Shi, who almost regarded herself as the future hostess of the palace, heard the news of Princess Xihua's return, and suddenly a basin of cold water woke her up.
She suddenly remembered that her son's dream of inheriting the palace, which she had imagined before, still had two big obstacles in front of her.
As long as Xie Yuanjia's direct son is still alive, how could her son, a concubine, inherit the palace? Even if Xie Yuanjia was a fool, Princess Xihua couldn't let the palace fall into the hands of a concubine.
Not to mention that Xie Yuanjia is much better than Xie Ying.
Lu Shi was honest.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
King Jianping stepped into the main courtyard and found that in less than half a day, the originally deserted main courtyard had been arranged to be similar to the main courtyard of the princess's residence.
Princess Xihua was wearing a bright red gold engraved silk embroidered palace dress, and rested leisurely on the red sandalwood imperial concubine's couch, which is a beautiful picture of a beauty sleeping in spring.
King Jianping walked in, and the maid quietly saluted.
However, Princess Xihua, who had been sleeping lightly, was still awakened. She opened her eyes and glanced at King Jianping, and then closed her eyes and asked lightly, "My concubine is here, what's the matter?"
King Jianping sat down and said with a smile, "This king is coming to see his concubine, does it have to be something else to come?"
Princess Xihua snorted softly, and the soft hum from her nose seemed to be coquettish: "It's nothing, you won't go with your little beauty, what are you doing here to see this palace?"
King Jianping helplessly softened his voice and said, "Princess calm down, this king can explain it. Yesterday, this king just saw that Xie Yingwen couldn't do anything, and he was too far behind Yuan Jia, so he called someone to the study and gave him a lecture. I didn't expect to meet Yuan Jia and come back. I happened to use Yuan Jia as an example to teach Xie Ying a lesson. I was worried that he would feel ashamed when he met Yuan Jia, so I told him to go inside for a while, but I didn't expect Yuan Jia to break it..."
Although Princess Xihua still doubted King Jianping's intention to cultivate Xie Ying, she had to say that King Jianping was complimenting her son in secret, and she was very relieved.
And as King Jianping said, "Xie Ying is too far behind Yuan Jia", so it is difficult for Xie Ying to make Princess Xihua feel jealous.
Otherwise, with the madness of Princess Xihua's love for her son, she would never have left such a calamity in the world for her son.
Princess Xihua was in a good mood, so she sat up straight and gave King Jianping a good face: "My lord, I will believe this reason for the time being. However, this palace hopes that **** ye understand that the identity gap between a succubus and a direct son is insurmountable, you can't even think about it. Let a concubine press on my Jia'er's head!"
What she said was extremely powerful. King Jianping was a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it. After nearly 20 years of marriage, he was also used to the strength of Princess Xihua.
"Don't worry, princess, this king still knows the difference between direct descendants and concubines. It's just that a father will inevitably hope that all his children will be talented. Especially with Yuanjia as a jewel in front, I don't want the remaining son to be a piece of rubble."
Princess Xihua's anger has mostly subsided, and maybe King Jianping will stay for dinner and rest in the evening.
The next morning, Princess Xihua got up, and King Jianping went to the morning court. The concubines in the palace all set the time, and when the prince went to the morning court, they came to greet Princess Xihua.
There were seven or eight concubines headed by Mrs. Lu, and some unnamed concubines were not qualified to greet Princess Xihua.
When Princess Xihua saw these concubines, she felt an eyesore. In her capacity as the dignified eldest princess, she could find a concubine who could be tough and would not allow her to accept concubines.
However, the late emperor betrothed her to the current King of Jianping. The different surnamed Wang is also a prince. She married her, and although she still regarded herself as a princess, in fact, she is now the Princess of Jianping.
King Jianping wanted to take a concubine, but she really had no reason to stop her, and she was too lazy to stop her.
The relationship between the husband and wife is separated by their identities and positions, and they cannot be intimate at all.
Princess Xihua said indifferently: "Which is the Lu family, come forward and show it to this palace."
