Chapter 834 The melting of the iceberg in the heart of the elder brother

Cheng Lanqing is dead.

But the rebellion did not end because the prince was not dead yet.

Prince Jiang Feng has been overly dependent on Cheng Lanqing for many years. When Cheng Lanqing died, he felt as if his backbone had been removed and he could not stand up.

Another point is that Cheng Lanqing's fake pregnancy was a co-conspirator, and he was also imprisoned in prison.

Shortly after he was brought to prison, news came that Cheng Lanqing had occupied Xiangcheng.

The prince's complaint not only did not receive the emperor's understanding, but instead forced him to question him because of the power of the bird gun.

After several tortures and forced questions, the prince's confidence was completely destroyed. With Cheng Lanqing's affairs, he was like a mess of mud.

When the emperor released him, he cried bitterly in the morning court and even became incontinent.

Not to mention the emperor and courtiers, even the eunuchs serving beside him, they looked down on him and helped him away, and had to wash the floor again.

The emperor ordered: "The prince was scared this time. The concubine's plot against him was inseparable from him, but he was not the mastermind. He ordered the prince to rest in the East Palace and not to go out without any trouble."

In this way, the emperor put the prince under house arrest again.

But the knife used for house arrest this time is even more ruthless and there is no clear term.

As long as the emperor wants, the prince will be kept in a locked state, without seeing the end or hope.

The fifth prince was also scolded by the emperor for making several mistakes.

The group of court officials he had gathered were all a little greedy for money. If he was not greedy for money, who would be bribed by him? Now he has no money and has revealed his embarrassment before he ascended the throne. More or less, people's hearts have been dispersed.

As soon as this person's heart disperses, everything will be like a plate of sand. No matter how capable it is, it is a sandbag that will fall when the wind blows.

Therefore, even if the fifth prince does things all night, the results he does not achieve satisfactory.

On the other hand, the ninth prince, Prince Zhuang, has a strong and slight attitude towards others. He currently has no official concubine or mother tribe. If he ascends the throne, the position of the descendant relative is still undecided.

Everyone has a gambler mentality, and the prominent family is even more fanatical gamblers.

If they assisted the ninth prince, they would have the merit of following the dragon in the future, and their daughter could marry His Highness Zhuang. In this way, King Zhuang would undoubtedly be even better than the fifth prince.

The fifth prince has both a mother and an orthodox princess. If he assists him, he can only be a courtier and a monarch, and it is difficult to establish emotional connection with him.

From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have believed in in-laws and blood ties. Those who do not have any relationship with you will never feel at ease with you.

In fact, it’s useless to get married. Are there fewer people who cheat relatives? Not to mention relatives, it’s no problem for those who cheat parents and children.

"Brother, now is your good time, you have to perform well." Xue Mei said to Xue Chi.

Xue Chi nodded.

He did perform well. While he was doing himself well, he was also thinking about the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor's mind is: if you deliberately please and ignore you; if you want to have no desires and no demands, then I am willing to help you a little.

Therefore, Xue Chi did not show his gratitude to the palace, but only copied Buddhist scriptures to Concubine De by chance, and went to Concubine De for a vegetarian meal, which was enough to express his desire for power.

September is coming in a blink of an eye. The fragrance of osmanthus has not yet dissipated, and the chrysanthemums are blooming quietly. The golden autumn is lively and brilliant, red and yellow everywhere, embellishing the monotony of the world.

Xiao Mingyu, who lives in the palace, is almost moving his family to the Zhuang Prince's Mansion. He always sticks to Xue Mei and Xue Chi these days, but Xiao Jingcheng is a little busier.

After Cheng Lanqing's death, Xiao Mingyu never mentioned her once. He seemed to have packed his memories and past and hid them all.

He doesn't look at it himself, nor does he allow others to peek at it.

"When will you go back?" Xue Mei asked him.

"Let's spend some days. The south is warm, I want to spend the winter here before going back."

Xue Mei: "Then you should go to Lingnan to spend the winter. The winter in Beijing is much colder than in Xiayang City. This is the riverside, and the cold wind can blow away your bones."

The little prince was rich and generous: "It's okay, I have fur, and I have prepared charcoal, so I won't freeze me to death."

As they spoke, the little maid in the doorman came to report that the Seventeenth Princess was here.

Wherever the little prince is, there is the figure of the Seventeenth Prince. This princess has a passionate relationship and devotes her passion to everyone, especially the beautiful men.

The little prince is a little older, but his temperament and appearance are all first-class and excellent. If an ordinary man is defeated, he will be defeated.

The Seventeenth Princess was already fascinated by him.

Before Xue Mei could speak, Xiao Mingyu immediately said to the maid: "Your Marquis is not at home."

The little maid glanced at Xue Mei.

Xue Mei nodded at her: "Go."

After the little maid left, Xue Mei said to Xiao Mingyu: "What's wrong? You don't like such a pretty little girl as Princess Seventeen, either?

She is a real person who is not scheming. You can marry her, get married, and have a few babies. When you get old in the future, someone will inherit your wealth."

Her tone was relaxed and casual.

Xiao Mingyu glared at her.

Because she knew she was joking, Xiao Mingyu joked with her: "I don't like her, she looks too average, cute but not charming enough. I like you."

Xue Mei: "There are few people like me in the world."

Xiao Mingyu: "Will you just look for you?"

"Your Majesty won't break your legs! I'm already the prince's person, you can't imagine it. If you said you like me when you met me, maybe I'll marry you now," Xue Mei said.

Xiao Mingyu: "You were ugly at that time."

Xue Mei: "..."

The little prince was swept out by Xue Mei that afternoon, and even the bedding in his guest room was removed for him.

Xue Chi has always ignored the childish fights and quarrels like Xue Mei and Xiao County Prince. However, when the quarrels of Xiao County Prince had no place to sleep and had to live in the wing room of the main courtyard, Xue Chi could not bear it.

At this time, he was also thinking that there was nothing wrong with getting married, and his sister, his friends, his wife and children lived in his home.

Xue Chi was originally very annoying, and felt that life was too crowded, and everyone was here.

But now, his mood has quietly changed, because the relationship between people brings him more and more positive feelings, no longer making him feel disgusted, guarded, and alert.

Instead, he felt warmth, care and company.

Once he has a positive feeling about something, he wants more. There is an iceberg in his heart that is already melting quietly. Maybe one day his spring will come.

When Xue Chi thought of starting a family and starting a career, he passed all the young women he could think of in his mind, but none of them were suitable.

At this time, someone coincided with his idea

The emperor specially called him to the palace and asked about his age.

When he knew that his son was old and could be his grandfather in an ordinary family, he said, "Or what if I want to tell you about marriage."

Xue Chi: "..."
