Chapter 481 Forced Marriage
"Back to my father, recently there have been people in Hu County in Yuncheng complaining about pests. It is suitable for the emperor brother to gain experience, but the emperor brother has never done errands for the father..."

The prince answered at the right time.

King Ning went to the battlefield when he was more than ten years old, and the fourth prince has not yet started to run errands. Compared to King Ning, he is late.

The emperor had a straight face and said coldly, "I want to learn from you, Uncle Ning, in everything. He was the commander-in-chief of the army when he was a teenager. But how old are you? You just want to play every day. You are really not as good as you, Emperor Ning." uncle."

The fourth prince, "..."

"Father, I know my mistake." The fourth prince lowered his head and said.

"You don't know how to share your father's worries, so I don't blame your mother and concubine for wanting to beat you. In my opinion, you really deserve to be beaten! Do nothing all day long, don't go around messing around with your friends, and be more diligent in doing your errands."

The emperor continued to lecture.

The fourth prince, "..."

Hearing what the emperor said, he had nothing to say.

The emperor has many princesses and few princes, and even less adult princes. The prince has been handling political affairs for the emperor at a young age, but his identity is the prince.

Moreover, Chu Lixuan also liked the prince very much.

He was born to be the future prince, and it was appropriate to discuss any political affairs of the previous dynasty.

But the fourth prince was different. Concubine Shu used to be low-key and calm. The emperor liked Concubine Shu's temperament very much. Because she was favored, she was often targeted by the queen. As the son of Concubine Shu, the fourth prince had always been looked down upon since childhood.

The prince is different. He is well-educated and sensible at a young age and is highly praised in the court.

The fourth prince's treatment was completely different from his.

He doesn't love his father and his mother, and if he wants to do something, he has to be guarded and suspected by others, for fear that he will be ambitious at a young age and cause turmoil in the government and the public.

Therefore, the identity of the fourth prince is also very embarrassing.

The fourth prince himself knew this very well, so he simply never took part in political affairs and just idled around, looking at flowers and raising birds.

The result is now...

He did nothing and was indifferent to the affairs of the court.

The emperor and courtiers were really relieved about him, but they felt that he was not happy with his daily meal, so they took the opportunity to reprimand him.

Not to mention that Concubine Shu would scold him every day when she saw him.

When the Zuo family saw him, they felt that he was not living up to expectations, and they looked like they hated the iron.

The fourth prince could only grit his teeth and swallow all the pain.

If he really tried his best to help his father 'share his worries', Concubine Shu would certainly be very happy and felt that he had great ambitions, but her father and the families in the court who were hostile to the Zuo family would definitely not be happy. .

So now his father is scolding him for not sharing the royal family's worries, which is clearly arrogant and unreasonable.

It was obvious that his father only wanted to be a wealthy and idle man forever and not threaten the prince's status. Now he blamed him for not knowing how to share his father's worries.

There is nothing perfect about everything in this world.

However, what the emperor says is everything, and there is no one who can reason with the emperor.

The fourth prince could only lower his head silently, looking introspective, very heavy, and repenting.

Who knew that when the emperor saw the expression on the fourth prince's face, instead of feeling relieved, he became even more angry.

"You, you, you... every time I scold you, you always look like you are bowing your head and admitting your mistake. You are not unconvinced at all, but you listen to what I say but don't change it. Is this what your master taught you? What did you do with all the sages’ books you read?”

The fourth prince's face was filled with guilt, and he subconsciously said, "Father, I know I was wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, the fourth prince felt a chill on his back. He raised his head cautiously and found that the emperor was glaring at him, as if he was about to be slapped in the face in the next second.

The fourth prince swallowed back his duplicitous words and said with utmost sincerity, "Father, please calm down, this is what a son and minister should not do!"

Chu Lixuan, "..."

The way this man apologized looked like Ning Muqing showed no remorse.

Prince, "..."

Couldn't he say something else?
If he says he doesn’t know how to do errands, he should hurry up and do something practical to relieve his father’s worries!
It must be said that the fourth prince is very good at making people angry.

Seeing him like this, the emperor had nowhere to vent his anger. He laughed angrily and said, "You said you were wrong. Now tell me, what did you do wrong?"

The fourth prince, "..."

Of course he didn't feel he was at fault.

The only thing that might make his father feel less sincere is that when he apologized and admitted his mistake, he admitted it too quickly.

Be more careful next time.

However, my father has always been uncertain. This is the legendary unpredictability of the king's heart.

He must have been in the wrong place.

It’s better not to guess.

"My son, I know I was wrong. I don't dare to complain despite my father's punishment."

The fourth prince really didn't know what he was going to answer, so he could only lower his head, except shouting that he should admit his mistake, Chen Ken.

The emperor slapped the table heavily, looking at this ignorant son who knew nothing except admitting his mistakes and allowing himself to be punished. He felt deeply that he must have committed a lot of sins in his previous life, otherwise he would not be like this. A son who collects debts.

This fourth prince is the least enlightened among the princes.

"Pfft."

The prince looked on and couldn't help laughing.

The emperor frowned, "Why are you laughing here?"

The prince stepped forward respectfully, made a pot of hot tea for the emperor, and said with a smile, "Father, please calm down. Brother Huang is just fascinated by the colorful world, so his personality is a bit impetuous. He will do errands for his father later." It will naturally settle down after too much. He didn't do anything wrong. Father, it's better not to be like my brother."

"Well, you are really good at talking." The emperor's face softened a little, and he took the tea, but still said in a bad tone, "I am here to teach your brother the emperor a lesson. If you don't help me, just be a good person here."

The prince smiled and said, "Thanks to my father's broad-mindedness, I didn't scold the ignorant son and minister together."

"That's all." After being treated so well by the prince, the emperor was not as angry as before, and his expression completely softened, "Since the prince is interceding for you, let's forget about it. You get up first."

"Thank you, father, for your grace. Thank you, prince." The fourth prince stood up.

The emperor suddenly changed the subject, "However, what the prince said is right. The fourth prince's character is indeed impetuous. I see that you are not only inferior to your uncle Ning, but also not as calm as the prince."

"There is a saying in the book of sages that a man should start a family first and then start a career. I think if the emperor's brother had a beautiful woman by his side, this would not be the case."

The prince turned his eyes and said with a smile.

The fourth prince was frightened and had a bad premonition.

Although there were many people in the government and the public who got married at his age, he didn't want to get married so quickly. He wanted to see the princess by himself.
