Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 109 The Prince’s Thoughts
The prince didn't feel that his tone was harsh, and even felt that he had slowed down a lot, but Chen Jue couldn't help but flinch after hearing this, and subconsciously hid behind Gu Zhao.

"Your Highness, what Chen Jue said is correct." Gu Zhao rubbed his forehead and said, "I thought I knew the whereabouts of the authentic artifact, but it should not be within the palace."

"Suppose that what you gave to the eldest prince was a fake, and he found out about it. Because of this, I had a quarrel with the eldest prince's concubine, and it was not good for the empress. Please tell me about this matter, so as not to involve you. Yes, does it make sense?"

There is a reason for Gu Zhao's speculation. This is not the first time the prince has done this kind of thing.

He is familiar with government affairs, but he is a little vague on these small things.

Just like his attitude towards Chen Jue.

He felt that he was his elder brother, and he mainly controlled Chen Jue, and rarely talked to him, so that when Chen Jue saw him, he was like a mouse meeting a cat.

He was more afraid of the prince preaching, but he was closer to the eldest prince.

As for the eldest prince, he was born with a kind of dependence because of his childhood admiration.

The prince nodded, feeling that this statement was reasonable.

"Do you have the original work?" The prince's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you know who collected it? Can you find a way to buy it back?"

"I heard that it appeared in Yangzhou." Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Well, I will go and ask around first. If I find the person who collected it, I will go and talk to him first. If there is anything interesting, I will talk to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince smiled, seemingly relieved, and looked at Gu Zhao in one breath and said, "Sure enough, I feel more relieved now that you have taken action in this matter."

Chen Jue curled his lips, feeling that the prince was going too far. He only came to Brother Qianjun every time he needed help without giving him any reward.

"Brother Prince, if Brother Qianjun does this for you, what reward will you get?"

The prince and Gu Zhao were stunned at the same time.

The two of them had the same idea, and neither of them thought of such a thing as a reward.

"Have I not done it for His Highness the Crown Prince yet? How can there be any reason to ask for a gift in advance? If this thing is not done, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?"

"So what? There is no credit, there is also hard work..."

Although Chen Jue is a little afraid of His Highness the Crown Prince, he is still the unscrupulous little bully of Kyoto at heart.

"Let me think about this matter. It's because I haven't thought about it well enough." The prince said, "When will you grow up?"

The latter sentence is about Chen Jue.

Chen Jue made a face at the prince and said, "I have grown up and will be crowned soon. What gift will you give me then, brother prince?"

The prince laughed angrily: "I knew I wanted a gift! Well, I plan to give it to you...write ten more big words every day."

Chen Jue's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the prince would make a joke to him. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously cursed, and was pushed back by the prince again.

"This is not a reward, this is a punishment!" Chen Jue said angrily: "I want to go back and tell my aunt that you bullied me!"

Gu Zhao held his forehead and felt a little headache.

This was just a joke. I didn’t expect Chen Jue to take it seriously. I couldn’t help but laugh.

No wonder Song Han and the others would call him little girl.

He shook his head and talked to Gu Zhao about this autumn hunting.

"Are you sure about tomorrow? If you lose, my father will be angry. However, this is the first time your family has encountered a change. Even if you don't perform well, my father will understand."

"I should do my best to do a good job." Gu Zhao heard the implication of the prince's words.

I was very grateful to him.

After the prince left, Chen Jue looked at Gu Zhao with a slumped head. He didn't really want to participate in tomorrow's autumn hunt. He just felt that he was enveloped in a bleak life. Gu Zhao laughed out loud.

"Why are you so afraid of the prince? You just answer whatever he says?"

"Brother Qianjun, it's not like you don't know." Gu Zhao lay on the table and said weakly: "My aunt has never disciplined me like this, but the prince brother has always said what he says. If I don't follow him, I will definitely do it in the future. You’ll get scolded badly.”

"Well, if it were the eldest prince, things wouldn't be like this." Chen Jue sighed.

"Do you think the eldest prince is very kind to you and really does it for you?"

Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts began to wander.

He has been in the palace since he was a child. He went to school with the princes and served as their companion.

Gu Zhao was there when he was a child.

The queen has to raise three princes and princesses, as well as Chen Jue, who was orphaned at a young age, so things in the palace cannot be closed.

It was at this time that the imperial concubine became powerful.

But although she was named a noble concubine, she was still very respectful to the queen, waking up at dawn and dusk every day and never falling behind.

Over the years, some people have instigated the relationship between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, but in order to silence the public, the Queen once sent the Second Princess and His Royal Highness to the Imperial Concubine's Palace for upbringing.

From then on, the concubine and the queen joined forces to dismantle the unhealthy trends in the harem.

The harem was harmonious and the previous dynasty was peaceful. It was a rare prosperous age for the Xia Kingdom.

His Majesty is also very clean and self-sufficient.

As of now, there is only one queen, one concubine and two concubines in the harem.

The eldest prince's mother and concubine died in childbirth, and the remaining princes and princesses all grew up with their mothers.

They all have their own achievements, and the brothers are very harmonious and can be regarded as brothers and sisters.

"I don't know..." Chen Jue said, "The eldest prince just protects me in trivial matters."

"But think about it for yourself, what mistakes have you made in major matters over the years?" Gu Zhao looked at Chen Jue and said, "The two of them are princes after all. I can't say anything more, I can only stop here."

"Ah Jue, you are a sensible person. I know you understand who is good to you and who is not good to you."

"Of course I know this. The best person in the world to me is naturally my aunt, followed by you, brother Qianjun, and the eldest prince, sister princess, and brother prince."

"By the way, I heard that the seventh princess has been grounded. She still wants to marry you? The second sister also caused trouble for her sister-in-law..."

As Chen Jue talked, the topic got sidetracked.

"Ah Jue, the eldest prince is not the daughter of the queen." Gu Zhao said: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so don't believe everyone."

Chen Jue was stunned, lowered his eyelids slightly, and remained silent.

"Did you notice something?"

Chen Jue opened his mouth, but closed it and said with a smile: "Nothing, Brother Qianjun, do you think I can get first place in this competition?"

"Do you want to go through the normal way?" Gu Zhao sighed inwardly and joked with a smile: "If it is the normal way, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Is that an abnormal way?" Chen Jue's eyes brightened: "Is there still some hope?"

"I'm afraid the emperor won't agree." Gu Zhao joked with a smile.
