Chapter 411 Discussion and discussion
On the long pavilion, the eldest prince, the second prince and others had already arrived at the Chunnuan Pavilion. The fifth prince had restrained himself a lot since that incident. His fifth prince's wife was the legitimate daughter of a local official. Although the fifth prince still felt a little unwilling in his heart, he also understood that he had no hope from the beginning to the end, and that he had never been valued by his father.
With the legitimate son born by the queen, all the illegitimate sons in the harem will not be able to make a name for themselves, not to mention that the legitimate son is so outstanding and extraordinary.
If the Second Prince knew what the Fifth Prince was thinking, he would tell him that as long as the legitimate son had no obvious flaws, their father would never consider a bastard son. This, in a more profound sense, would shake the foundation of the nation. Just imagine, if the legitimate son was not chosen, wouldn't all the bastard sons have a chance? They were all sons of the emperor, so close to the supreme position. Who wouldn't have considered this possibility? If the Shenwu Emperor hadn't made his attitude clear, I'm afraid the bastard princes would have already become ambitious and fought fiercely for power.
But the Sixth Prince eliminated this possibility. Just by standing there, he could overshadow the other princes, and Emperor Shenwu could only see this legitimate son in his eyes.
The Fifth Prince suppressed the complex expression in his eyes and stood up first, saying, "I live the farthest away from the palace, right? How come I'm here, but Third Prince isn't?"
The eldest prince frowned and said, "You're the only one who talks too much! It's hard to travel on snowy roads, what's so strange about that?"
The Seventh Prince was the youngest. He had been brought by the Sixth Prince to meet up with his brothers several times. He was surprised and asked, "But the Second Prince said that the snow on the long street has been cleared by the government. There's no such thing as a difficult road!"
The eldest prince was stuck for a moment, but the sixth prince chuckled, and there was a hint of irony in his laughter.
So the eldest prince shut up, and the second prince shook his head slightly, but still said: "I'll send someone to urge them again!"
The Sixth Prince had no objection to this, and this little episode was quickly ignored by the others. The brothers continued to talk and chat while drinking.
During this time, the fifth prince specially offered a glass of wine to the sixth prince: "My royal brother offers you a glass. When the queen mother returns to the palace, I will pay my respects to her!"
His mother had been depressed ever since she had been confined to her house for a crime. He was isolated and helpless in the harem. When his mother became seriously ill, he couldn't find a single imperial physician to treat her. Upon learning of this, Lan Qingwu sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the physician, stating, "I have already stated that anyone who falls ill in this palace must be seen by an imperial physician! Since Concubine Zhang is still in the palace, the Imperial Hospital must see her! Find out who was on duty at the Imperial Hospital yesterday! His Majesty and I have not issued any directive for you not to see Concubine Zhang!"
The fifth prince's mother fell seriously ill, but received timely treatment and was not left with any underlying illness.
The Fifth Prince was deeply moved after this incident. Having such a queen mother was truly a blessing for the harem and the world. Little did he know how many young palace maids and servants in the palace, unqualified to see the imperial physician, had to endure their illnesses, and how many died. Since the Empress's order, the Imperial Hospital has allocated personnel every day to treat the palace maids and servants, and many people are grateful for the Empress's kindness. Lan Qingwu would never be cruel or ruthless to those in the harem, and would never attack the princes and princesses. Of course, she was not a weakling, and would fight back for her children. However, the Fifth Prince was sincerely grateful that his father had made Lan Qingwu the current Empress.
The Sixth Prince said nothing more and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
At this moment, the voice of a palace maid could be heard faintly from the pavilion: "Ever since the Empress fell ill, you have been going to kowtow at the entrance of the Qianzheng Palace. Now that the Empress is well, you can finally rest assured!"
A young eunuch said, "Of course, I'm not a heartless person. Besides, it's not just me. Many people in the palace kowtow at the gate of Qianzheng Hall every day. They have all been looked after by the Empress. Not to mention us slaves, many female relatives of the royal family also come to pay their respects spontaneously. They are all turned away by His Majesty, but there are still people who come to kowtow..."
"Humph! It's nothing but a scramble for fame!"
When the Sixth Prince in Chunnuan Pavilion heard this voice, his hand holding the wine glass stopped for a moment.
The palace servants who were gossiping immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your servant greets the Third Prince."
The Third Prince's face was gloomy and ugly: "What do you want to do by casually discussing the master in the palace?"
The young eunuch quickly admitted his fault: "It's my fault. I was just grateful for the Empress's kindness. I didn't mean to criticize her!"
The third prince walked up and kicked the young eunuch to the ground without saying a word. The palace servant cried out "Aiya" and fell to the ground.
The Third Prince said coldly, "Now that the Queen is not in the palace, are you going to get out of the palace and kowtow? You are so hypocritical!"
The attendant following the Third Prince hesitated and opened his mouth to persuade him, but when he saw the Third Prince's gloomy face, he closed his mouth.
The third prince was still not satisfied and kicked the palace maid again and again. The palace maid could only grit her teeth and endure it.
The Sixth Prince was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and the First Prince was no less so. They both fell silent. Hearing the palace maid's cries of pain, the Sixth Prince finally stood up. The First Prince quickly followed suit and advised, "Sixth Prince, I'll go down and take a look..."
Before the eldest prince could finish his words, the sixth prince tore open the curtain of the Chunnuan Pavilion with his bare hands and jumped down from the pavilion.
The eldest prince said, "It's bad!" and jumped down.
The Fifth Prince looked at the Second and Seventh Princes, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
The Second Prince sighed and then stood up, and we left through the main exit."
The Seventh Prince nodded.
The Sixth Prince jumped down from the pavilion and landed next to the Third Prince. Before the Third Prince could react, he was kicked by the Sixth Prince and fell to the ground.
The Third Prince was extremely angry: "You!"
He paused after seeing that it was the Sixth Prince, then let out a cold smile: "What? Am I wrong? The Empress is very kind to these people below, but she can't share her kindness with the concubines in the palace! Let my mother..."
The Sixth Prince stopped listening and grabbed the Third Prince by the collar with one hand. His arm strength was amazing and he pulled the Third Prince up, looking very miserable.
The eldest prince then jumped down from the pavilion and saw this scene. He hurriedly said, "Sixth brother, you can't fight in the palace. If you have anything to say, talk to your third brother..."
Before the eldest prince could finish his words, he saw the sixth prince mercilessly punching the third prince in the face. After a few punches, the sixth prince said, "Don't worry, eldest brother. Third brother promised to have a good sparring match with me! I will not let him down!"
The eldest prince: "..."
The Sixth Prince said as he beat him, "I wanted to put up with you, you idiot, but you've only gotten worse! You're so sarcastic to my mother, how ridiculous! What does your mother's affairs have to do with my mother?! Have you forgotten that this is the palace, and entering the palace to win favor depends on your ability. Why enter the palace without a broad mind? You really think everyone should give in to you! Your useless mother gave birth to a useless son like you!"
The third prince was so angry that his eyes turned red: "What did you say!"
The Sixth Prince spoke word by word, "I say you're useless! There's something fishy about your mother's death. Father noticed it, and we noticed it too. But you've been complaining about yourself, blaming the heavens and the earth. You're not very capable, but you have a bad temper. You've even gotten so bad as to bully a mere palace maid! What kind of prince are you? You're not even qualified to be a son!"
The Third Prince was beaten so hard that he was shaking all over. "What did you say? My mother..."
The Sixth Prince was too lazy to waste time talking to the Third Prince. He let go of his hand and said, "All of you, go find some work in my palace. Have your supervisor hand it over to the people in my palace. Changfu, go to Wenquan Royal Manor and report to our father. Tell him that our Third Prince was eager to learn martial arts from me. Let's have a little sparring session in the palace. If our father blames me, I will take full responsibility! Go!"
