Splendid Book

Chapter 138
"You are all well, well, this old face of mine has been completely thrown away by you," the emperor quickly held the handkerchief in his hand, but still angry, pointing to the crowd kneeling on the ground, that is Angrily said.

"Father calm down, it's all because of the son's fault. He kept making mistakes and bumped into the eldest brother's dragon boat. It was the son's improper command." Seeing the emperor's angry expression changed, the second prince, King Jin, immediately knew something was wrong.It's just that he has always been obedient, even if he really has bad intentions, he can still speak beautifully. It's just that he does this once or twice.

The emperor gave him a cool look, and sneered in his heart, he could see clearly today when he was sitting on a high place.The second brother just saw that the boss was about to win, so he just kept doing nothing and bumped into his boat, so that no one would be left behind.

Originally, I wanted to have a lot of fun, but now the excitement is so lively that it has all become a joke.The emperor was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs hurt, and the eyes he looked at his sons were really chilling to the end.

At this time, the bodies of the princes were all soaked, and when they were kneeling on the ground, they kept dripping water.But no one dared to move, they hung their heads like a defeated rooster.

And the empresses on the side looked at the emperor and at the son kneeling on the ground, wanting to beg for mercy.But he didn't dare to speak rashly, for fear of being offended by others.

On the contrary, the eldest prince Qin Wang looked at the second prince angrily, the anger in his eyes wanted to burn him completely.He sneered heavily, and mocked: "Second brother, you are wrong. You are not directing properly. I think your command is really proper. In just a moment, you can command a dragon boat to collide with you. Come here, you are really powerful, and the command is really good."

King Jin's face turned red and white when he heard King Qin's words, so he just didn't want to talk to this reckless man.Boss is the kind of person who speaks clearly. Speaking clearly at this time will only embarrass everyone.

Shen Changle watched from the side, silent.What happened on the lake just now, although it happened in the blink of an eye, everyone in the tent could clearly see what happened.

Before the arrival of the princes, Concubine Rong had already cried and complained, saying that the eldest prince had played well in the competition, but suffered an innocent disaster for no reason.

Now that everyone is present, the concubines have nothing to say.As for Concubine Shu, who was sitting on top of Concubine Rong, she tightly pursed the corners of her mouth, her gaze did not look at the Second Prince, but looked ahead, as if she was thinking about something important.

"Shut up, don't you think it's not enough to be embarrassing?" The emperor suddenly turned his head and stared at the eldest prince coldly.

This is the most honorable royal family, but because someone harbored evil intentions, the entire royal family became the laughing stock of the people in the capital.There are dragon boat races every year, but this year has become like this. You think the emperor will not be angry, can you not be angry?

As a result, while speaking, the emperor coughed violently for a while, his already pale face looked even paler now.

"Father is angry, it's because of the son's fault, because the son was eager to win and couldn't control his strength for a while, which caused such consequences." The second prince knew that everyone around him was staring at him. If he didn't show weakness today, I'm afraid everyone People's spearheads are all aimed at him.

He has always felt that he can bend and stretch, and when he speaks soft words, he is not soft-spoken at all.

The emperor didn't want to listen to his hypocrisy anymore, so he didn't even turn his head, and ordered: "Put your car back to the palace."

A festival that was supposed to be noisy ended like this, I'm afraid no one would have expected it.When Concubine Rong was about to leave, she glanced at the eldest prince who was still drenched all over, feeling distressed and sad. After she got into the car, she thought of a way to call the eunuch beside her to persuade the eldest prince to go back and change his body. clothes.

As for Concubine Shu, she got into the carriage without looking back. The second prince lowered his head, but he didn't see an overly apologetic expression on his face.

On the contrary, Concubine De walked up to the Ninth Prince's side generously, looked at the distressed youngest son, and said lightly: "Go back and take a hot bath later, don't get cold, and don't rely on yourself If you're young and have a good foundation, don't take it seriously."

"Mother and concubine go back first, the son knows," Ji Ting said with a smile.

After he looked at Shen Changle beside him again, he said respectfully: "Sister-in-law Qi, then please take care of my concubine mother."

"Ninth Brother, you just need to rest assured, I'm here for Mother Concubine. You should go back and clean up quickly," Shen Changle felt worried when he saw his wet appearance.

Before the dragon boat hit the ground, people were turned on their backs. Some people were hit by the pole of the boat when they couldn't dodge in time, and their heads were broken.Among them, the sixth prince was the most unlucky, and the one who fell into the water was the latest. As a result, the boats on the river were already lying in a mess, and when he entered the water, he hit the board of the boat. Something big happened.

At this moment, the sixth prince has been sent to the palace, and the imperial physician rushed over.

The emperor will be in a hurry to go back, probably because he also wants to see the sixth prince's injury.

After Shen Changle waited for Concubine De to get into the car, she didn't speak, and Concubine De naturally couldn't speak.After a while, she looked at Concubine De's slightly tense expression, and asked in a low voice: "Concubine Mu, may I pour you a glass of water?"

Concubine De didn't object, she nodded for a while, Shen Changle quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.It's just that the carriage stopped suddenly, and with a shake of her hand, half of a glass of water was spilled out in a flash.More than half of the half glass of water spilled on the small table, while the rest spilled on De Fei's dress.

"Mother Concubine, I'm sorry, I was too careless," Shen Changle looked at the sudden change in astonishment, and quickly put the teacup on the small table, pleading guilty.

Shen Changle felt apprehensive, and even more remorseful, already regretting that he shouldn't have asked this question too much.She reached out and took out the handkerchief, just to wipe off the water stains on her clothes, but Concubine De blocked her arm, and suddenly said softly: "The emperor seems to be coughing a little bit just now."

When Shen Changle looked at her expression, he realized that she didn't say these words to himself, it seemed more like talking to herself.

She was a little confused, so she thought Concubine De was concerned about the emperor's body, so she hurriedly said: "Mother and Concubine, don't worry, Father must just have a slight cough."

After she finished speaking, Concubine De's bewildered expression slowly changed, she looked at Shen Changle's face, and seemed to regain consciousness all of a sudden.But this time her expression was disgusted, as if she saw something disgusting, she stared at Shen Changle firmly.

Shen Changle thought she was going to make trouble, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear her scolding him.So she stopped talking and just sat aside cautiously.

And since the Dragon Boat Festival, I can't tell what happened, but Shen Changle always feels that something has changed.

The emperor did not go to court for five consecutive days in the middle of May, and it is said that he occasionally felt the cold.It's just that in these years, the emperor has always been in good health, and he has never neglected the government, so he did not go to court for three to five days, and everyone's eyes were focused on his body.

Until one day, Shen Lingcheng suddenly sent someone to Prince Zhao's mansion.Shen Changle saw that it was someone from the Shen residence, but after hearing it, he said that his father was sick.She was anxious and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and returned to Shen's residence.

When she got home, she was invited directly to her father's study.

She thought her father was recovering from illness in the study, but when she entered the door, she saw her father sitting upright, and beside her were two elder brothers.

"Didn't it mean that Daddy is sick? What's going on here," Shen Changle was surprised to see Daddy was well, after all, she couldn't think of why someone would lie to her.

Knowing her doubts, Shen Lingcheng asked someone to prepare a seat for her, and explained: "I asked someone to tell you this."

"What's the matter? Daddy is so secretive. If something happens, it's only because he sent someone to invite me back," Shen Changle said strangely, and she always felt that Daddy and his two elder brothers had very strange expressions.

Shen Lingcheng looked at the ignorant daughter, feeling very complicated.It's just that the current capital city is turbulent and everyone is in this vortex. If you are a little careless, you may be sucked down by this vortex.

"Have you heard anything in the past few days?" Shen Lingcheng first asked tactfully, not wanting to scare her.

Shen Changle became even more strange when he heard him ask such a question, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you hear?"

She thought for a while, then suddenly whispered: "Daddy, do you want to ask me about the palace?"

Although she doesn't understand politics, she is not stupid.Daddy called her back on the pretext of being sick, so he must have something important to tell her.So at this time, all she could think of was naturally about the emperor.

Shen Lingcheng immediately asked, "You know?"

"I only know that His Majesty's health is not good, and I don't know anything else," Shen Changle quickly explained seeing his father so excited.

Only then did Shen Lingcheng understand that what he and Shen Changle were talking about was not the same topic.So he said straight to the point, "There is news that the emperor will announce that Prince Zhao will return to Beijing in the next few days."

Prince?Shen Changle is strange, if he returns to Beijing, then the prince will also write to her to tell her.

"There are also rumors that the emperor intends to make Concubine De the empress." When Shen Lingcheng said these words, he didn't know whether he was sighing a lot or feeling deeply.

Shen Changle was taken aback for a moment, the emperor wanted Concubine De to be his queen, that would be a good thing for the prince.

No, wait, the emperor wants Concubine Lide to be the queen, when she understood the meaning behind this sentence, she looked at Shen Lingcheng and Shen Ruhui who was opposite in shock.Now that father and brother are both in court, since father can say such words, he must have received some rumors.

Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have called her back so hastily.

"I don't know. I just received a letter from the prince the day before yesterday. In the letter, he was only worried about the emperor's health. He didn't say anything else." Shen Changle hurriedly tried to recall the content of the letter. It was indeed very ordinary. Believe me, the above description is mostly about lovesickness, there is no conspiracy at all.

"Think about it carefully," Shen Lingcheng couldn't help feeling anxious.

Shen Changle is more anxious than him, if the emperor really intends to make Concubine De the empress, it means that the heir to the throne in the emperor's mind has already been decided.Although Concubine De has two sons, but Ji Ting still looks like a child, no one would think that the person the emperor likes will be him.

So the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's heart is Ji Yu?
Shen Changle's heart began to tremble, so is this the beginning of the previous life?She tried her best to recall the scene at that time, but she couldn't remember it, or it wasn't because she couldn't remember it, but because there was too little information, and what she knew was too little, too little.

At that time, she was a widow, not to mention the gate of the house, even the gate of the courtyard was rarely stepped out.

By the time she returned to the Shen residence, it was time for Ji Yu to return to the palace and regain the throne.So in the previous life, the crown prince in the emperor's mind was Ji Yu.It's just that the second prince took the lead. Is history going to repeat itself now?
