Houfu Key Class

She turned to look at Zong Jincheng. The little devil looked confused, not like he knew him.

Madame Jin Guogong quickly reminded: "Your Highness, this Zong Jincheng is Zong Zhao's son. He is exactly eight years old this year."

She bit the word Zong Zhao hard, fearing that the prince would not recognize this child and that he was just the son of someone he hated.

Everyone knows that although Zong Zhao and the prince grew up together and were very close to each other, they suddenly had a big fight eight years ago and became strangers to each other. Since then, every time someone mentioned this name in front of the prince, It would make him frown, which shows how bad the relationship between the two is.

Xu Wan also knew this.

Before entering the palace, in order to avoid making mistakes in the East Palace, she asked Cuizhi about her family's social situation in the court and whether there was anyone she had made friends with or offended.

Cuizhi said that the Hou Mansion didn't deal with people very much, and the only person he might offend was the prince, but the prince had a good nature and would most likely not embarrass a woman like her.

After meeting the prince himself, Xu Wan became even more convinced of this.

After the prince confirmed Zong Jincheng's identity, his eyes only stared at him, looking at him from top to bottom, and then suddenly replied: "You have grown so big."

Zong Jincheng also looked back at him, his dark and translucent eyes full of doubts, "Do you know me?"

The prince smiled and said, "I hugged you when you were just born."

Xu Wan noticed with sharp eyes that there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.

Is there any connection between the prince and Jin Cheng?

Xu Wan couldn't help but think about it. Everyone knew that this child was Zong Zhao's eldest son, but the biological mother was unknown, but the Hou Mansion firmly let Jin Cheng live in the eldest son's household. Could his biological mother be related to the prince?

"Oh, then I don't remember you." Zong Jincheng replied truthfully.

"It's okay," the prince touched his head and said, "Tell me, what's going on with you?"

The Duke of Jin's wife became anxious when she saw this: "Your Highness, what are you doing..."

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, she was warned by the prince's eyes.

The Duke and Mrs. Jin were confused. Why did the situation develop in the opposite direction?

Didn’t the prince break up with Zong Zhao?

Why was he still chatting with Zong Zhao's son? ?

The prince paid no attention to the dissatisfaction of Jin Guogong's wife, and only listened intently to Zong Jincheng's explanation of the future, and then looked at Zhai Yao, who had started causing trouble in the first place.

The smile in his eyes faded away, but he still spoke in a gentle tone: "We are born as human beings, and there is no distinction between high and low. Since you think the people there are untouchables, you must look down on them. Someone, please inform In Uncle Weiyuan's Mansion, I want to send Zhai Yao to be raised in a slum, so that he can experience firsthand the life of a pariah in his words, and no one is allowed to help him secretly. "

Zhai Yao said in horror: "No, no, I don't want to go to the slums. Your Highness, I was wrong. Please be merciful and spare me. Your Highness... Your Highness, spare your life!"

"Take it away." The guards immediately started to do it, dragging Di Yao away and letting his wails get louder and louder.

Perhaps there was too much commotion here, and the guests who had arrived in the East Palace began to come out one after another. Officials, family members, women and children all came over, and even the Crown Princess came out and asked: "Your Highness, what happened?"

On the birthday of the Crown Princess, everyone was stuck at the door, huddled together, and the appearance was really unsightly. The eunuchs and maids passing by outside the palace couldn't help but look here, and they might disturb other empresses in the palace.

The Crown Princess also had a gentle temperament. She came up and persuaded: "Your Highness, there are many people here with mixed opinions. If they have something to do, why don't we let them come in first?"

Xu Wan also felt that this matter was going to be a big deal, and all the eyes of the people around them were on them. There were no enemies in the Hou Mansion before coming here, so this trip to the East Palace would probably make a lot of enemies.

Unexpectedly, although the prince's words were gentle, nothing he did was gentle.

He said quietly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Duke of Jin's wife said something unpleasant just now. A child doesn't understand human feelings and wants an apology."

The Crown Princess looked at Jin Guogong's wife in surprise, and said bluntly: "Then Madam, just tell him. Why bother with the child?"

"I..." The Duke of Jin's wife dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. How come it was all her fault now? How could she, the Duke of Jin, apologize to a child?

And Xu Wan, who just dared to attack her, would be admitting defeat if she apologized, and their entire Jin government would be embarrassed.

Qian waited for a while but did not see the Duke of Jin's wife apologizing. The prince remained unmoved. The princess was extremely surprised and seemed to understand why he insisted not to enter the East Palace.

At this time, among the gentle couple, the one with the black face must be the princess. She put on her airs and said coldly: "Mrs. Duke of Jin, are you going to let your highness and me stay here with you until the end of the day?" Black?"

The Duke of Jin's wife was startled by her sudden change of expression, and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I will apologize now, I will apologize now..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have cursed Mr. Zong, and I ask Mrs. Zong and Mr. Zong to forgive me for speaking so freely!"

Zong Jincheng snorted and turned his face to the side.

The Duke of Jin's face turned pale with anger.

This hateful little brat, when she leaves the East Palace, she must make him look good!

Xu Wan looked at the anger in her eyes and said quickly: "Mrs. Jin is so polite. You have a lot, don't be like a child."

Mrs. Jin gritted her back teeth and forced a smile on her face: "Of course not..."

The Crown Princess saw the tense situation and hurried to smooth things over: "Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, let's all go in. The palace has already laid out fruits and snacks, just waiting for everyone to taste them."

"Thank you for your trouble, Crown Princess. I heard that there are tribute green grapes. We must taste them carefully."

"There are a lot of them. The emperor has given a lot of rewards to each palace. Everyone can taste them freely."

The Crown Princess led the crowd to disperse, and the wife of Duke Jin followed them.

Xu Wan was about to ask Jin Cheng and Wen Xiu to go with her, but the Crown Prince stood next to Zong Jin Cheng, touched his little head and said: "Jin Cheng, come and sit with me."

Xu Wan: "!!!"

What kind of affair do you have! ! !

Why do you want to sit together just after meeting?

Zong Jincheng had just been helped by the prince to teach Zhai Yao a lesson, and also helped him vent his anger at the wife of the Duke of Jin. He had a good impression of him, so of course he agreed immediately, "Okay!"

The two of them walked to the other side, talking and laughing, leaving Xu Wan and Zong Wenxiu staring at each other.

Zong Wenxiu said weakly: "His Royal Highness the Prince seems to like his brother very much, so he should be fine..."

Xu Wan chuckled and said: "He will be fine, but we will be in trouble."

"Ah? Why?"
