Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

After the princes and ministers had finished presenting their gifts, it was the turn of the princes and princesses.

As the crown prince of a country and the eldest son, it is natural that he should be the first to present gifts.

"Rui'er, what gift are you going to give to your father today?"

The emperor touched his beard, looked at the prince's empty hands, and asked curiously.

The third prince originally thought that the gift the prince wanted to give was just an ordinary thing, so he felt a little proud in his heart. He sat up straight and stretched his neck.

The prince stood up and saluted calmly:

"My son, I feel selfishly that this is a gift for my son to my parents, just to make my parents feel comfortable. My father is the master of the world, and everything I have comes from my father. I am always grateful, and there is never a moment. Dare to forget”

These words from the heart made the emperor quite satisfied.

Under the sun, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is probably more difficult to get along with than the eternally difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

For an emperor, on the one hand, he hopes that his son will be better than himself;

But on the other hand, he was facing the fact that he was getting older while his son was getting stronger day by day, so he was inevitably a little scared.

This kind of contradictory psychology makes him always unable to help but criticize and compare when facing the future prince.

The prince's heartfelt words were full of gratitude to the emperor, which naturally made the emperor satisfied.

The third prince was full of disdain. He wanted to see what kind of gift the prince could give him after talking so much.

The prince then cupped his hands and said: "A few days ago, by chance, I met a person who claimed to be an old friend of my father."

Hearing this, the third prince, who had always been so proud, couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but said: "My good brother, are you being deceived?"

There are so many people in the world talking nonsense.He dared to believe whatever cats and dogs said. His stupid brother was really hopeless.

The emperor heard this and glanced at the third prince displeased.This son is clever, but he seems to be a little arrogant in his words and deeds these days.

When the prince was interrupted, he showed no signs of anger and remained gentle:

"If my father is willing, I will meet this person. If he is really an old friend, it can make my father happy on the birthday party."

These words made Xia Keyu look at the prince with admiration.Even though the prince knew that this person was an old friend of the emperor, he still maintained a humble attitude and spoke only half of the words.

He could be so calm in the face of the third prince's obvious sarcasm. It seemed that the prince was clearly not a coward, but a pretender to eat the tiger.

The third prince despised the prince from the bottom of his heart and felt that the prince had been deceived. Now he was just waiting to see the prince's joke.

After hearing what the prince said, the emperor just waved his hand and said: "Pass~"

Regardless of whether the old friend is true or false, the prince's intentions are true.

As the voices came one after another in the palace, the old man with an unattractive appearance slowly walked in along with the eunuch.

The old man has gray hair and his clothes are quite shabby, but fortunately they have been washed relatively clean.

As the saying goes, respect Luo Yi first, then respect others.Many officials present also murmured in their hearts when they saw the old man.

The third prince sitting in the seat was full of disdain. The prince was definitely deceived by this old man.The emperor's acquaintances were either rich or noble, so how could he meet such a sloppy old man?He wanted to see how the prince would end up this time.

The next second, the emperor who was sitting on the main seat saw this person clearly and stood up in person. Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, he walked down the steps and went to greet him.

"Is it Brother Dong?" The emperor stepped forward and looked at his old friend carefully, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Old Man Dong slowly raised his head and said with a smile: "After a few years apart, Your Majesty still remembers me. I am honored."

The emperor's tone softened a little, and he said with a hint of humility: "Brother Dong is so kind that I will never forget it."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials present were extremely surprised. They did not expect that the emperor actually knew this old man.

The third prince's face was dark and blue, and he felt that his face was burning.The emperor's actions were clearly a slap in the face to his previous words.

The emperor's next move was even more surprising. The emperor personally took the old man's hand and invited the old man to a high position, and then asked the young eunuch to place a chair beside him.

Old Man Dong still wanted to shirk, but the emperor only insisted: "If it weren't for Brother Dong, we wouldn't be where we are today. Brother Dong, please don't shirk anymore."

Old Man Dong sat next to the emperor.

The emperor's words also made everyone very curious about the origin of this old man.The right minister who was present was older and asked:
"But that 'Dong Zhuge' who assisted His Majesty in the Prince's Mansion back then?"

Old Man Dong smiled and shied away: "Dong Zhuge, you'd better not bury me, I'm just a mountain villager."

The right minister was silent when he heard this. He knew very well that if this person had stayed with the emperor back then, he would not be able to take the position of right minister now.

Everyone present suddenly realized what he said.It turned out that this person was really an old friend of the emperor.

The emperor had not seen his old friend for many years. He took Old Dong and asked him from the beginning. He wanted to know why Old Dong left without saying goodbye and what he had been doing all these years.

Old friends have not been apart for many years, so naturally they want to know how the other is doing.

In particular, Old Man Dong has the most different meaning to the emperor. He is a person who shares hardships but never enjoys them together.Before he ascended the throne and became an emperor, he was a friend whom he treated sincerely with an ordinary human heart.

Old Man Dong glanced at the people in front of him and only smiled and said: "Today is His Majesty's birthday. If Your Majesty really wants to ask me, we, the monarch and his ministers, can have a detailed chat in private later."

The emperor was inevitably a little disappointed, and he was not looking forward to the next gifts.I just want to end this session quickly and take my old friends to reminisce.

After the crown prince, it was time for the third prince to present the gift.

Although the third prince was unhappy about being robbed of the limelight by the prince, he still had some confidence in his ability to succeed.

He immediately stood up and talked eloquently:
"The ancients tasted that in the past, the emperor was the dragon and the turtle, the river came out of the map, Luo published the book, the earth came out and took the yellow. The auspicious beasts will not come out unless they are kings of the Ming Dynasty, but the king's virtue will control the four directions. A few days ago, I listened to the human saying , an auspicious beast riding the yellow appeared on a mountain in the south, I specially asked someone to catch it and give it to my father."

The auspicious beast "Chenghuang" actually aroused some interest in the emperor, and he only said: "Oh, then bring it up and let me see what kind of auspicious beast it is."

Xia Keyu also waited with interest. According to the advice she gave Chu Yuan, the things in the cage had been poisoned.

She was waiting for a good show.

The third prince had offended her and had to pay a price.
