Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 58

Master Qiushui frowned when he heard the words: "It's not difficult to hide people's eyes and ears, but there are so many eyes and ears here, it's not easy to shut up so many people. Look, Your Highness Fourth Prince..."

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince thought for a while, then took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of Taoist Qiushui: "Is this enough to silence those people?"

Taoist Qiushui put it into his sleeve without looking at it, and nodded with a smile: "If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it. It's all right for Pindao to think of an excuse to go back and explain to the prince. It's just that if the fourth prince sees Pindao in the future , Don't be as reckless as today."

"My hall understands." The fourth prince felt relieved when he saw that Taoist Qiushui let go.He looked back at the VIP room where the prince was, and said hesitantly, "The Taoist priest has a way..."

Master Qiu Shuidao made a gesture of all ears.

"Well, the princess..." The fourth prince had a bit of embarrassment on his face, coveting his elder brother's wife was never something that could be said openly.

Priest Qiushui still looked puzzled: "What's wrong with the princess? But what's wrong?"

"That's all, I'm going back to listen to the opera." The fourth prince is still young, no matter what, he is only a 16-year-old boy, and he still can't say such a thing, so he can only laugh dryly, and bring the beautiful concubine behind him back to him The VIP room is set.

Seeing him leaving, Taoist Qiushui twitched the corners of his mouth: "If you pay more money for the other things, maybe the poor Taoist will help with it. This matter, hehe, unless the poor Taoist thinks that he has too many heads on his shoulders." .”

It's not that he doesn't know how much the prince attaches to Su Qing. The fourth prince doesn't know how to hide his thoughts. Sooner or later, he will serve the prince. He has no interest in making fun of it.

Touching the thick stack of bank notes in his sleeve, Director Qiushui returned to the VIP room where the prince was with a smile.

"It seems that the Taoist priest has gained a lot." Su Qing is well aware of Qiushui Taoist priest's money-loving temperament, and made him laugh so happily. Apart from teasing Lu Qisheng, I am afraid that he has a large sum of money. The money is in the account.

Qiu Shui Taoist laughed twice: "The princess is laughing, but it's just mediocre."

"How is it?" Feng Jun asked lightly.

Taoist Qiushui smiled: "The fourth prince is just a child, and he will believe it with a few words from a poor man. It's no problem. It's just the people behind him, His Royal Highness needs to be on guard."

Feng Jun is also aware of the fourth prince's personality, if the Zhou family has not gradually grown stronger with the support of the emperor, with his disposition, no one would want to support him on the throne.

However, Li Guogong chose to stand on the side of the fourth prince. In addition to valuing the Zhou family's favor in front of the emperor, he also thought that if Feng Yu ascended the throne, he would definitely be able to control it better than the first and second princes.

The emperor had four sons in total, and the crown prince was the emperor's least favorite son, which was ironic.Although the crown prince is the most capable among several princes, he is also the most feared by the emperor.

In comparison, the mediocre First Prince and Second Prince were more favored by the Emperor. Feng Jun knew that this was definitely related to Emperor Sheng'an's experience when he ascended the throne.

Originally, Emperor Sheng'an also wanted to be an idle prince, and his life would be nothing but wealth.It's not that he has no ambition, but that his strength is not worthy of his ambition.

His mother's family was only a fourth-rank Beijing official, and his own ability was considered mediocre among the dozen or so princes under Emperor Sheng Jing. When Empress Dowager Su was in power as the empress, she raised a very outstanding seventh prince in front of her.

The Seventh Prince was originally the son of a talented person, but when the talented person passed away, Emperor Sheng Jing entrusted the Seventh Prince to Empress Su to raise him, and also intended to make the Seventh Prince his crown prince.No matter how you look at it, it is not Emperor Sheng'an's turn to sit on the throne.

It’s just that Emperor Shengjing had too many sons, and many of them were capable and born. Therefore, when Emperor Shengjing was about to die, the situation in the imperial city was changing. Killing his father, killing his brothers, the Seventh Prince, the adopted son of Empress Su, bore the brunt of the murder and died.

Fortunately, Emperor Sheng'an was mediocre and incompetent, but escaped this catastrophe.

Later, the Empress Dowager Su secretly sent someone to ask for help from the Su family. The old Duke of the Su family immediately surrounded the imperial city, broke through the imperial city and rescued the dying old emperor Sheng Jingdi.

Emperor Shengjing was also ruthless and decisive. When he was dying, he announced that all his sons who participated in the rebellion would be decapitated, and his family members would be reduced to ordinary people.Then he passed the throne to his son who had never stayed out of it, so he became the current Emperor Sheng'an.

Emperor Sheng'an has always respected the Su family for this reason, but after he experienced the chaos of Shengjing, he was more guarded against his outstanding sons than ever before.

Prince Fengjun has been superior to ordinary people since he was a child. Whether it is poetry, books or riding and shooting, he has left his brothers behind, which makes Sheng'an even more disturbed.His dislike for him became more and more undisguised. He was always afraid that one day he would die at the hands of his own ambitious son just like his own father.

Empress Dowager Su is also aware of this, but this has become a knot in the emperor's heart and cannot be solved.All she can do is to do her best to protect the future monarch of Da'an Dynasty.

"Fourth coward, huh." Feng Jun recalled the rebellion recorded in the book, and sneered, "I have no guts to rebel, but I always think about things that don't belong to him. I will teach this imperial brother well." , what he shouldn't think about, what is duty."

Feng Jun understood the emperor's fear of him from a very young age, knowing that the emperor would never change, so he became more and more sharp.

The pride of being a prince does not allow him to cower under the pressure of the emperor, and it is impossible for him to imitate the fourth child and pretend to be a well-behaved prince. It is also within his expectation that he will not get the Sacred Heart.

But even though she had long since given up the idea of ​​pleasing the emperor, Feng Jun's mood inevitably turned bad when she thought that the emperor's beloved prince coveted her own princess.

Su Qing saw that Feng Jun was in a bad mood, and also thought of the bad things about the royal family, and was about to comfort him, when she saw Feng Jun turned her head and smiled faintly, as if she had read her mood and said: "If Xiao Li'er To be able to stay by Bengong's side all the time, these things are nothing."

When Su Qing heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but she suppressed the smile on her lips: "The play has already begun, the prince should watch the show."

The director Qiushui next to him had no interest in these royal secrets, and his attention had long been attracted by the red figure with fluttering sleeves on the stage.
