Chapter 166 - handwriting
Taiji Hall is the residence of the emperor. Although the palace is vast, most of the houses are not reserved for people to live in, especially those close to the emperor’s palace. Even if the queen comes, they can only retreat.
The emperor called Bai Chu into the palace. Although it was selfish, he didn’t really want to give her a notorious reputation in the world. He had someone in the courtyard where the palace maids lived in front of the imperial palace, and he cleaned up a whole courtyard alone for her. live in.
She also sent a few palace servants to serve her in her daily life, and they were meticulous and thoughtful everywhere, allowing Bai Chu to have a good understanding of what the most honorable people in the world received in the palace on weekdays.
The emperor was recovering from illness, and he didn’t see anyone on weekdays. She was the only one who left her in the dormitory, and said that she was a palace maid, but in fact she practiced calligraphy with the emperor.
He is a good person to get along with when talking on weekdays, but when teaching her to practice calligraphy, he is very serious and critical.
Bai Chu didn’t have much foundation in calligraphy, and the words she wrote now are barely correct, which is still the foundation left by the original owner.
But this ability in the eyes of the emperor is unsightly.
When she just started copying, the emperor looked at the finished article she wrote, his eyes were dark, and he stared blankly for half an hour.
From the bottom of his eyes, Bai Chu could clearly see the meaning of disgust, and he was not happy on the spot.
“Your Majesty, you are so many years older than me, and it is only natural that you are better at calligraphy than me. When I reach your age, maybe I can write even better than you.”
She was deliberately cheating, and the emperor gave a cold “ha” and said, “Well, today you practice ten more big characters, and tomorrow I will come to check the results, so that I can have a good insight into your talent and potential. “
Bai Chu, who had just finished his harsh words, disappeared in an instant, and the bright eyes were filled with the light of Ying Ying Fanbo: “Your Majesty, it is wrong to take out the seedlings and encourage them.”
Are you still a “miao”?
The emperor was about to open his mouth when he heard Li Quan knock on the door softly, and came in and reported, “Your Majesty, the first prince is worried about your illness, and knelt outside the hall door, saying that he must see you are safe before he is willing to leave. “
The relaxed smile on the emperor’s face receded like a tide in an instant, and he couldn’t be more clear about the eldest prince’s purpose.
It stands to reason that the drug he gave the emperor should not have happened so quickly. On the same day in the court hall, the emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted, which frightened the eldest prince. He hurried back and asked the staff who handed over the medicine, but he He only had this poison, and he didn’t know medical skills, so he couldn’t tell why, and the eldest prince, who was known for his good temper on weekdays, was so angry that he directly pulled him down and chopped him off.
These days he was trembling with fear in the Prince’s Mansion, for fear that his plan would be exposed in advance, and the emperor wanted his head in anger.
Seeing that the third prince and the fourth prince were arranged by the emperor into the cabinet and began to get in touch with the affairs of the court, the uneasiness in the heart of the eldest prince increased.
His first reaction was not to confess to the emperor to seek leniency, but to find ways to put the blame on others for his own sins.
At this time, the third prince was bumping into his hand, the first prince was refreshed, and hurriedly came to complain to the emperor.
The emperor threw the pen in his hand: “Let him in.”
Since the eldest prince has taken the title of father-son relationship, he will give him some face, and I hope that he will not regret it later.
When the eldest prince came in, it was inconvenient for Bai Chu to keep it. After speaking with the emperor, she happily hid behind the bookshelf that occupied a wall next to her, quietly stretched out her ears, and faced the eldest prince for herself The rhetoric of sin preparation is full of anticipation.
These days, it is not easy to find a scapegoat who dares to murder the king. The eldest prince originally had the idea of making a fool of himself and King Zheng. Forget it.
In front of the emperor, the eldest prince used twelve points of acting skills, first expressing his concern about the emperor’s physical condition, and then calmly mentioning this disease, which is strange, “Father, you have always been in good health. Jian, even if the old injury recurs, it shouldn’t be so serious after so many years of recuperation by the imperial physician in the palace.”
Waiting for the emperor to ask what he meant.
The first prince logically made his favored scapegoat, and the third prince said it “inadvertently”.
The third prince has not had a good time recently. Concubine Shu, who was quite favored in the past, fell, and the treatment of the third prince and the fourth prince changed. The prince can only be more powerful, after all, his mother concubine is no longer the fourth concubine, and it is obvious that he has been rejected by the saint.
Fortunately, the third prince has already left the palace to build the mansion, at least the door is closed, and there is no need to listen to the words of those villains.
But the resentment in his heart never faded, especially when he was in the cabinet with the fourth prince, and everyone had different degrees of closeness to them.
He went out with his mother’s cousins every three days to go out for drinks and listen to the show.
But the third prince’s excellent control force can’t help but relax after being drunk, and if he is not careful, a lot of words scolding Queen Xu come out of his mouth.
If this is the case, it’s nothing, although it is disrespectful to the mother, but when Concubine Shu suddenly suffered a setback and fell from power, outsiders saw it at a loss. If they listened to the third prince, they would put the black pot on the bright side of being virtuous, generous and actually jealous. On the Queen, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
But after the key third prince drank happily, he brought the emperor in as well, “Father, the emperor first valued the second child, and now he valued the fourth child. Hmph, doesn’t he just look down on me?…I, I will make him regret it. !”
This sentence, which looks very middle-of-the-road, and repeated from the mouth of the first prince, highlights the strong hatred and hostility of the third prince to the emperor.
The eldest prince said it euphemistically, and as the eldest brother, he expressed his sincerity to his father that he was worried about his younger brother’s wrongdoing.
The emperor only said that he was tired, and called the eldest prince and even the third prince to Kunning Palace. Since the empress is the first mother, let her teach these unfilial sons a good lesson.
The eldest prince was hesitant to say anything, watching the tired movement of the emperor rubbing his brows, feeling a little guilty in his heart, he honestly knelt down and retire, from getting up to walking out of the hall door, his demeanor was considerate, and he didn’t make a sound at all.
Bai Chu walked out from behind the bookshelf, and heard the emperor’s indifferent tone revealing a bit of irony: “Look at my son, he only acts like a fool, and he is beyond stupid.”
As long as you are smart, you shouldn’t stand up and expose the third prince at this time, even if you want to frame the blame? Wouldn’t it be better to let someone else find the puncture and clean it up yourself.
Bai Chu stood up slowly and said with a smile, “It’s also his loss if the first prince doesn’t follow you.”
“Forget it,” the emperor shook his head. After the initial anger passed, he lost his father-son relationship with this son. “Aren’t you here to practice calligraphy?”
Bai Chu’s body froze, and he glanced at him rather sadly, and slowly moved in front of the desk, “What exactly did you plan? Do you really want to make both the first prince and the third prince suffer?”
“This is to make the relatives hurt, the enemy is fast, and it is not worth it.”
The emperor looked over coldly: “Sooner or later, they will have such a day.”
He is terribly rational and indifferent. He never dreamed of “although you are half-brothers and you are fighting for the throne, but you are brothers and you can’t hurt your relationship with He Lele”. He has been fighting since childhood. , For him, if he doesn’t get it with hard work, he can’t stand it.
So even if there is no secret alienation from King An, the princes will fight sooner or later. The emperor simply let go of his hands and let them fight by themselves. With King An, there is no need for him to force a few. The sons hate each other.
Bai Chu couldn’t help but persuaded: “Don’t be too confident, Prince An is a wicked man, and you have the intention to save the lives of several princes. It’s too late for you to regret it.”
The emperor chuckled lightly: “I know.”
Because he felt that King An was always in his hands, the emperor really didn’t care much about him.
But he still listened to Bai Chu’s words to some extent. Prince An did have a sinister nature. When he and the fourth prince went south, Prince An planned to take the opportunity to get rid of the fourth prince, and the emperor also moved to take the opportunity to get rid of Prince An.
In the end, they pushed people into a desperate situation, but it also allowed King An to find a way to survive, and even turned around and subdued the bandits on the entire mountain.
To say that King An is really capable of being an emperor, I don’t believe it. It’s just on paper. No matter how powerful a genius is, he doesn’t say that he will be able to handle it as soon as he gets started. He summoned the dark guard to ask about the details. King An has luck in almost every step. Maybe It’s really unbearable, God refuses to accept him.
“But I still think,” the emperor looked at her with a smile, “you are the most evil person in the world.” He stared straight at her and sighed in confusion, “Why can’t I let you go?”
Bai Chu blushed, most of them were angry.
He murmured, “If I can get into your eyes, it means I am excellent. Even if you want to kill me, don’t wrong your own vision.”
The depression in the emperor’s heart was swept away, and he laughed and said: “That’s the truth, Chu Hua, come here, in order to live up to my vision, you should quickly practice this word for me!”
…why did it turn into this one again?
On the other hand, Empress Xu was so angry that she couldn’t get out of bed because of Bai Chu’s affairs. In just a few days, dozens of white hairs grew on her head, which made her more angry until a blister appeared on the corner of her lips. , so that she was afraid of damaging her face, so she stopped and was willing to rest carefully.
At this time, the matter of the eldest prince broke out. Although Empress Xu was surprised that a prince dared to assassinate his father, what made her even more happier was that her majesty asked her to take charge of such a big matter. trust and respect.
Also, no matter how favored Bai Shi is, it is just a plaything, only she is the only righteous wife of His Majesty.
