The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 411 The Princes Are Gathering in the Capital

Shangguan Ruoli put the handkerchief on the maid's tray, patted the tenth prince's little butt, and said with a smile: "Go and eat some desserts!"

The tenth prince didn't want to punish her for disrespect like he did when they met for the first time, and ran to the side table with a smile to get some snacks to eat.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the Fifth Prince and asked, "Why did Fifth Brother say that? But what happened?"

The fifth prince's handsome face sank slightly, and he said: "King Qin has already arrived in Beijing. It is said that he was assassinated on the way and was seriously injured, so the journey was delayed. In addition, King Li also came to Beijing from his fiefdom."

"King Li? What the hell?" Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly searched from the original owner's memory.

Before she could remember, the Fifth Prince said: "King Li is the brother of the Fourth Emperor, and his fiefdom is in the south of the Yangtze River. This time he came to Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. But a few days ago, the secret account in the south of the Yangtze River was leaked, and the officials in the south of the Yangtze River were deposed one after another. Everyone thought it was the Great Emperor Brother who did it, I'm afraid..."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "I see, your elder brother should know what to do. King Li, is your father's man?"

Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and it is also a place where water transport and salt merchants are developed. No matter what era it is, it is the court's grain bag and money bag.

King Li's fief is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it must belong to the emperor.

And the emperor's move is just to completely control this rich land in his own hands, the emperor also needs a small treasury!
The fifth prince nodded and shook his head again, "It should be said that brother Li Wang is the most beloved son of the father."

Shangguan Ruoli closed his eyes, saying that Dongming Ziyu was the emperor's most feared son.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the princes will gather in the capital.

The eldest prince Xuan Wang Dongming Ziyu, the second prince Qin Wang, the third prince Prince Li, and the fourth prince Li Wang, these are the four princes who have grown up and have been entrusted with the throne. In addition, from the fifth prince down, there are seven princes.

The emperor currently has eleven princes, and there are pregnant concubines, at least the one in Li Lanxin's stomach is already determined to be a prince.

It can be seen that the queen is indeed not smart, otherwise so many princes would not have survived.Of course, the Queen only came to power four years ago.

This shows that the former empress, Dongming Ziyu's concubine mother, is a truly kind and virtuous empress.

"Sister-in-law," the fifth prince's words brought back Shangguan Ruoli's thoughts, he looked a little lonely, and asked faintly, "Am I very useless?"

Shangguan Ruoli took a bunch of grapes and ate them, and asked casually, "How can you say such decadent things, a 13-year-old brat?"

The fifth prince blushed slightly, and said: "Brother Dahuang has already gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy when he was eight or nine years old, and he has to step on the back of the little eunuch to get on the horse."

Dongming Ziyu has always been like a god in his heart, especially recently, he feels that he is also a prince, and he is no different from a waste.

When in danger, Shangguan Ruoli had to be rescued by a woman.

Shangguan Ruoli imagined the scene of the little Dongming Ziyu wearing a battle armor and riding a horse. He felt distressed, and sighed: "As the eldest son of the direct emperor, the things he shoulders are beyond ordinary people's imagination, so he has to pay more than he can." Normal human effort. But you are different, you can do what you want."

If you want to fight for that position, fight hard, if you don't want to, just be an idle prince.

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "No, I am the same, and I can't do what I want."

He knew that there were some things he couldn't say to anyone other than his mother and concubine and grandfather, but because Xu had experienced life and death together, he just wanted to say it to Shangguan Ruoli.

If Shangguan's heart sinks, is he going to compete for that position?
On the face, he said calmly: "People are alive, there are always many things they can't help themselves. I don't want to be trapped in this backyard. I want to live freely and unrestrainedly, but it's impossible."

The fifth prince smiled lightly, "The eldest sister-in-law is absolutely right."

Shangguan Ruoli spit out a mouthful of grape skin, "You just need to learn more knowledge and exercise well, no matter what you do in the future, there will be no harm in the end."

"Remember the teachings of the great emperor's wife!" The fifth prince looked serious.

Shangguan Ruoli thought he was joking, but when he saw his solemn expression, he laughed, "It's quite obedient."

"No matter what you say, I will listen to it." He spoke softly, only he could hear it.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"

The Fifth Prince smiled slightly, "It's nothing..."

Being embarrassed and not knowing how to explain it, the Tenth Prince raised his face, "I'm obedient too!"

Shangguan Ruoli saw that he ate like a little squirrel, his fair and pretty face was covered with crumbs of confectionery, his big eyes were flickering, his good looks could melt people's hearts in an instant.

She smiled like a wolf grandma, wiping the crumbs off his little face, "You are the cutest, sweetest, softest little bun!"

The tenth prince leaned on her lap, and said coquettishly: "Then I want to have lunch here at noon, the meals in the palace, that's all year after year, I'm so bored."

Shangguan Ruoli glanced at the fifth prince, and said with a smile: "You are only four years old, and you are still alive every year. How many years have you been eating?"

The tenth prince puffed out his cheeks, stared at his big round eyes, and said solemnly: "All the brothers say so."

Shangguan Ruoli was struck by his limp and cute appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat fresh ones for lunch, I'm sure you haven't eaten them before!"

This is also thanks to Ruhua, he is so wronged to be a dog, he howls every now and then, begging to be fed.

Shangguan Ruoli had an arm injury, although he could cook, but Dongming Ziyu had to break her arm if she cooked for another man with the injury.

So I wanted to make something simple and fresh, and first appease Ruhua, otherwise he would whine in the yard at every turn, making people upset.

"Okay, okay! There's something delicious!" The tenth prince patted his plump little hands and cheered happily.

The fifth prince smiled dotingly, "You are so promising!"

Let them stay in the flower hall for a while, Shangguan Ruo left the kitchen and ordered the people to prepare things.

He came back soon, followed by several guards, carrying a rectangular table with high legs.

A rectangular hole was hollowed out in the middle of the table, an iron plate was inlaid on it, and a square iron trough was hung under the table.

The Fifth Prince got up to check, "What is this for?"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile, "I'll find out in a while."

Some maidservants brought high chairs and placed them around the table.

In this era, eating and receiving guests are all low tables like small tables, and people sit on their knees.

The tenth and fifth princes were surprised when they first saw such high-legged tables and chairs.

Two guards came in, holding a charcoal basin in their hands, and put the fiery red charcoal into the iron trough under the table.

"Is there a guest?" A cold voice came with displeasure.
