Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 964 The Goddaughter
The emperor's tone was ordinary, with a bit of a joke.

However, as a courtier, Yu Shiyue did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed.

"I dare not."

Yu Shiyue said, glancing at the blissful scene not far away without any trace.

"Since His Majesty wants to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince for a meal, then I will go down and make arrangements first, and postpone the time of the Sutra banquet, and then hold the Sutra banquet after His Majesty and His Highness have finished their breakfast."

While talking, Yu Shiyue planned to leave.

However, obviously Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to let him go, so he waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry, I have already asked Wynn to go to the East Palace to pass the decree. The husband came early in the morning, and he probably didn't have time to eat. It won't be too late to leave if we eat together."

This was said in a gentle tone, but it was obviously not a discussion.

Yu Shiyue sighed silently in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, she just said.

"According to the order."

As a result, some palace people moved to the table again and brought meals.

The meals in the palace are naturally first-class, but Yu Shiyue is unwilling to eat.

Because the current scene is really weird.

You must know that when the prince leaves the pavilion to study, every move he makes will attract the attention of the government and the opposition. Moreover, this attention is continuous and transparent.

In a sense, the East Palace has both the attributes of the inner palace and government agencies. Except for the inner palace where His Royal Highness lives, most of the East Palace is guarded by court officials. Therefore, if there is any trouble, the news will be very fast. will spread out.

Of course, this is on the premise that His Highness the Crown Prince is young and unable to control the East Palace. If His Highness the Crown Prince is older and joins the government, it will naturally be another situation.

But at least for now, it is impossible to hide the news that the prince has gone to the Qianqing Palace to pay his respects and has not returned.

This is also the reason why Yu Shiyue came here in a hurry.

There must be a reason why His Royal Highness has not returned, no matter what the reason is, as a matter of the Prince's residence, Yu Shiyue must come to ask in person even if it is just a gesture.

So in fact, this was also Yu Shiyue's first question.

With the sageness of the emperor, it is impossible not to know that leaving the prince without reason will cause shocks in the outer court and all kinds of discussions that will follow.

Don't think that the prince is just two incense sticks late, it's a trivial matter.

When it comes to the Crown Prince of the East Palace, there is no trivial matter.

In particular, with such a special relationship between the Tian family, any action that goes against common sense, if no reasonable explanation can be given, will generate countless seemingly reasonable rumors.

The emperor must be very clear about the consequences of leaving the prince, but the emperor still stayed.

This is the first oddity.

Then there is the current scene, which seems to be happy and harmonious, but in Yu Shiyue's eyes, it feels awkward no matter how you look at it.

Still related to the prince.

Not to mention that the prince came to pay his respects as usual, what is the purpose of the emperor to hang the prince for two sticks of incense for no reason.

Just talk about the meal.

The emperor asked the crown prince to accompany him to have breakfast, there is nothing to criticize, although people may speculate that the act of enhancing the family relationship of the Tian family is just for show, but in the end it is justified on the bright side.

However, in addition to the prince, His Royal Highness King Hui and Princess Gu'an were also accompanying the meal.

The key lies in His Royal Highness King Hui!

It's not that the Son of Heaven can't let His Royal Highness King Hui eat with him, it's common for the father and son of the Tian family to eat together.

However, let the prince and King Hui eat at the same time, which has to arouse people's thinking.

Letting the prince accompany the meal has a stronger political meaning, and it can show the close relationship between the emperor and the East Palace, which is a good thing.

Let King Hui accompany the meal, the family affection is more obvious, it can show the deep affection between the father and son of the Tian family, which is also a good thing.

However, if the two accompany the meal at the same time, there is a problem.

The most obvious one is, did the Son of Heaven intend to put the Crown Prince and King Hui on the same footing by doing so?

This is almost a guess that will inevitably appear after today's scene is spread.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue couldn't figure it out.

It's not that he hasn't thought about whether the emperor intends to uplift King Hui and shake the throne. In fact, this speculation has always been in the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties.

However, what he couldn't figure out was that even if the emperor had this plan, how could he use such a clumsy method that people could see it at a glance?

This is a bit too different from the emperor's past style of planning and then acting.

However, if it is not, then the scene in front of me is really inexplicable.

Even if Yu Shiyue deceived himself and said that the emperor wanted the prince to accompany the meal, King Hui and Princess Gu'an were just passing by.

But don't forget, in the palace today, there is still a noble concubine beside her!
Not the empress, but the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Hui, the noble concubine Hang!

If it was a coincidence that His Royal Highness King Hui was nearby, then the only possibility that Concubine Hang Gui appeared in the Qianqing Palace at this moment was that she was summoned.

On this occasion, the appearance of Concubine Hang Gui was undoubtedly because of His Royal Highness King Hui.

Therefore, there are various indications that the emperor's move was intentional.

Moreover, what surprised Yu Shiyue even more was the emperor's attitude towards him.

In fact, the emperor summoned him, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Yu Shiyue already had some guesses in his heart.

Just now he used his resignation as a brief test, and the emperor's reaction confirmed his guess.

It was obviously a family banquet, but he invited a foreign minister to meet and accompany him. This clearly meant that he did not intend to hide what was going to happen today.

In other words, the emperor hopes to convey various signs of today to convey some kind of political signal.

I thought about the various joints in the middle, the possible reactions of the government and the public, and the emperor's intention for this move.

Thoughts in Yu Shiyue's mind were chaotic, so naturally he didn't have much time to eat, instead he was always paying attention to the every move of the first few.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, the imperial concubine accompanied him and said a few words, but he couldn't quite hear what it was.

However, when Yu Shiyue came, the emperor's breakfast was almost used up.

So, in fact, Yu Shiyue didn't take a few bites, and soon the palace people removed the meal. Of course, the meal was removed, but it is impossible for the people present to leave immediately. Something has to happen, so it is not in vain The Tianzi group has such a game.

Sure enough, after the waiters quickly cleaned up the table, the smile on the face of the first emperor gradually faded away.

However, what Yu Shiyue didn't expect was that when the emperor opened his mouth, what he called was...

"Gu'an!"

Yu Shiyue turned his gaze to the little girl who was combing the double buns underneath, and was a little surprised.

Of course, he knew this Princess Gu'an. The eldest daughter of the emperor, the birth mother, the empress, was extremely noble. Among the princes and daughters, she was always the most favored by the emperor.

But now, listening to the tone of the emperor, it seems that he is not very happy...

The little girl obviously knew the importance, and she had been hiding behind since entering the hall, but obviously, she couldn't hide this time.

Looking at the stern-faced father, sister Hui put on a bitter face, stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said.

"Father..."

Facing the little girl's delicate and soft milk voice, Zhu Qiyu rarely relaxed, but instead took a more serious tone and said.

"You know what's wrong?"

The little girl lowered her head, twisted her clothes with both hands, and did not speak.

These two sentences made Yu Shiyue on the side a little confused. Why, the emperor specially asked him to come here, just to show him how to educate his daughter?
However, it was only a moment before he discovered the clue.

Although it was said that Princess Gu'an was the only one kneeling in front of her now, Yu Shiyue soon discovered that His Royal Highness King Hui was a little restless when he saw this situation, and almost wanted to stand up.

However, whenever His Highness King Hui really wanted to get up, the concubine above would always glance over inadvertently, and forcefully push His Highness King Hui down again.

On the other side, Princess Gu'an's big eyes had turned a little red, but she still lowered her head and refused to speak.

Seeing this situation, the emperor seemed a little angry, got up and came to Princess Gu'an, and said.

"If you answer me, do you know your mistake?"

"Um……"

After a long while, the little girl hummed aggrievedly, but tears were already on the verge of tears, and Yu Shiyue felt a little distressed when she looked at that little girl so pitifully.

However, this time, the Son of Heaven seemed to have made up his mind, standing where he was, still with a calm face, and said.

"What's wrong?"

The teardrops in the little girl's eyes couldn't help but began to fall, but she seemed to be a little scared by her father's appearance, so she couldn't bear to cry, and said with a half sob.

"I...I didn't write the homework left by my husband..."

Ah this...

Yu Shiyue sat aside, lowered her head and tried to weaken her sense of existence.

He really didn't understand what the emperor was making trouble for. It lasted for a long time because Princess Gu'an didn't do her homework.

Besides, it's just that I didn't do my homework, my daughter is so scared...

Of course, Zhu Qiyu didn't understand Yu Cifu's slander, and he couldn't bear to see Sister Hui's frightened and aggrieved appearance.

However, he still kept a straight face and continued.

"anything else?"

"Father!"

At this time, Zhu Jianji at the side finally couldn't hold back, even with his old lady's threatening gaze, he still couldn't help standing up.

Seeing Zhu Jianji come forward, Yu Shiyue's eyes also froze.

Zhu Jianji walked into the hall, also knelt down on the ground, and said.

"Father, my sister was playful yesterday and failed to complete the homework left by my husband. As an elder brother, my son failed to supervise in time, and he was also at fault. Please punish me, Father."

Looking at the son and daughter in front of him, Zhu Qiyu frowned, obviously displeased.

However, at this moment, a small voice came out, saying.

"Sister Hui is wrong, father, don't be angry, okay..."

The voice was timid, with a bit of sobbing.

Following the sound, the speaker was none other than Princess Gu'an who kept her head down.

At this moment, the little girl's eyes were full of water, and she pressed her lips tightly, feeling aggrieved.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu suppressed his anger just now and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"The fault is..."

Sister Hui twisted the hem of her clothes, lowered her head again, and said with a pout.

"I didn't write my husband's homework for fun, and... I contradicted my husband in school, and... I made a mistake but didn't admit it, which made my husband and my father angry..."

Although the voice was getting quieter, Yu Shiyue at the side finally understood it.

To put it bluntly, Princess Gu'an didn't complete the homework left by the teacher in the school, and then it was estimated that she had a conflict with the teacher in the school, and was discovered by the emperor, so there was such a fuss.

After figuring it out, Yu Shiyue couldn't help being speechless.

It's such a small thing, as for...

At the same time, seeing that the little girl was finally willing to honestly admit her mistake, Zhu Qiyu's expression finally eased, and she asked.

"Does it hurt sir to beat you?"

With just such a sentence, the little girl immediately burst into tears, the originally suppressed tears fell down, and her voice was waxy.

"pain……"

"Okay, okay, don't cry."

At this time, Concubine Hang Gui appeared at the right time, touched the little girl's head, slowly comforted her, turned around by the way, looked at the emperor, and said.

"Your Majesty, since Sister Hui has admitted her mistakes, don't be angry."

Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to say something, but after looking at the crying little girl out of breath, he sighed and could only say.

"It's good to know that you are wrong. Enrollment is a big matter. Whether you learn well or not is one thing, but whether you put your heart into it is another matter. Whether you respect your husband or not is another matter."

"Today can be regarded as a lesson for you. In the future, be careful and don't mess around like today. Okay, let's go back with the imperial concubine."

The little girl nodded aggrievedly, but did not speak.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Hang bowed her knees, and then hugged Sister Hui. The little girl lay in Mrs. Hang's arms and turned her head away.

Afterwards, Hang took another look at Zhu Jianji, who was kneeling alone on the ground, but didn't say anything. He motioned to Yu Shiyue and left with the people.

I have to say that this move took Yu Shiyue by surprise again.

You know, this Concubine Hang Gui is the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Hui, but under such circumstances, he left King Hui here alone and left?

Thoughts turned in Yu Shiyue's mind, but the voice of the Son of Heaven had already sounded, saying.

"Let the sir see the joke. Sister Hui is naughty. I am usually busy with government affairs and have no time to discipline. Today, I took the time to go to the elementary school to take a look, only to find that this child has been perfunctory in his homework for several days. Now he dares to contradict the teacher in public. , If you don’t teach me any more, I’m afraid it’s going to be bad.”

This is what the emperor himself can say, and Yu Shiyue is not stupid, so he must not agree, so he cupped his hands, Yu Shiyue said.

"Your Majesty is still a little too strict. Your Majesty is smart and innocent, but she is only playful for a while. She has a pure nature and can distinguish right from wrong. I believe that as long as you teach her well, Her Majesty will naturally understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

"Hope it..."

The bridal sedan chairs were carried by everyone, the words were obviously polite, and Zhu Qiyu didn't take it to heart, so he answered casually and revealed the matter.

Then, immediately after, Zhu Qiyu's eyes fell on Zhu Jianji who was still kneeling in the hall.

However, this time, he still didn't ask Zhu Jianji directly, but called out.

"Prince?"

Zhu Jianshen has been sitting in his seat obediently since just now, with no expression on his chubby little face.

Unlike Zhu Jianji and others, as the prince, Zhu Jianshen must always pay attention to his manners and etiquette.

Today, his demeanor has already been integrated into his bones. From the surface alone, it is impossible to tell what he is thinking in his heart.

At this moment when Zhu Qiyu called him, Zhu Jianshen was also very calm, without much change in expression, he stepped forward and knelt down in the tunnel.

"Uncle Emperor, my nephew is here!"
