Chapter 562: Are you disappointed?
"Oh."
The emperor replied with a word that was neither salty nor light.
Empress Cai and the crown prince were even more frightened, and the simpler the reply, the more it showed that the emperor's thoughts were not simple.
"Your Majesty......," Empress Cai called softly, trying to make the emperor remember that they were a family of three, and there was family affection between them, "Besides, it has been a little unpeaceful recently, and the prince also wants to try his best to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible, and use happy events to make the whole Zhou happy." ”
"yes, yes." The emperor nodded.
When Empress Cai saw that he was sure, she was overjoyed in her heart, and continued: "Speaking of which, the concubine also dreamed that the prince had a child yesterday, and he was a big fat boy with a blessed face. ”
The emperor sighed, "It's a pity that the prince has been married for almost a year, and there is no definite news yet." ”
He glanced at the prince, and his eyes were not like a father looking at his son, but more like looking at an imperfect instrument.
The crown prince was stabbed by such a look, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Queen Cai said helplessly: "I'm afraid that fate has not yet arrived, but the concubine suddenly had such a dream, it should be good news soon." ”
"Really?" The emperor's attitude was still flat, as if it was another person who smashed the teacup just now.
The crown prince was a little annoyed, and muttered: "Puyang Xuan got married earlier than his son, hasn't he been able to add a piece to the royal family until now?" ”
Empress Cai's mind "buzzed", although the emperor didn't like Pu Yangxuan, but now he can't talk about him to alleviate his own sins! Doesn't that seem to be a lack of remorse?
She hurriedly diverted the topic, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's have dinner first, right?" ”
The emperor waved his hand, "It's okay." ”
After Empress Cai signaled the prince to stop talking nonsense, she hurriedly asked the palace people to send dinner, and the exquisite dishes were quickly put on the table, accompanied by mellow wine, which made people have a great appetite just by looking at it.
She poured three glasses of wine, one of which was sent to the emperor, "This is the plum wine brewed by the concubine, please taste it?" ”
After Gong Ning checked that the wine and food were non-toxic, the emperor drank the plum wine, the sweet and sour taste of the plum mixed with the smell of wine, which was not bad, but when Queen Cai wanted to pour wine for him again, she removed the glass and refused.
Empress Cai persuaded: "This wine is not intoxicating, please rest assured that the emperor will drink a few more glasses?" ”
The emperor shook his head, "No matter how good something is, it's good to taste it and get the satisfaction of novelty, and if you have more, you will get tired of it." ”
Empress Cai's hand holding the wine jug trembled slightly, and the wine almost spilled out of the mouth of the jug, she couldn't hear what the emperor meant by this, and smiled reluctantly: "It seems that the concubine is going to think about some good things again." ”
The emperor picked up chopsticks to eat vegetables, "There are many good things in the world, and the queen must choose them carefully." ”
"Yes."
After that, the emperor ate the vegetables by himself, and Queen Cai and the crown prince did not dare to take the initiative to speak.
The meal was extremely dull, and the delicious vegetable rice was chewed in the mouth, which was worse than wax.
The prince even felt that he was about to lose his breath, and he wanted to vomit when he ate the food, but he couldn't do it if he didn't eat, and he almost endured the feeling of vomiting before he pressed the food down.
The emperor wiped his mouth slowly, put down the veil, and said, "You use it slowly." ”
Empress Cai hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty, are you leaving?" ”
"If you don't leave, does the queen want to hear what I say, or what does the queen want to say?" The emperor asked rhetorically.
Empress Cai choked.
The emperor's gaze turned to the crown prince, "Or do you want to say, so that I don't be disappointed by what the prince did and said today?" ”
Empress Cai and the crown prince's shoulders both shook, Empress Cai hurriedly pressed the prince's hand, warned him not to speak casually, and when he was thinking about how to reply to this sentence, the emperor spoke again.
"Okay, okay, I know that you are in a hurry to do good things, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to panic and be afraid." The emperor nodded, and left Fengyi Palace without looking back.
Empress Cai looked at the emperor's back in a daze, and her slightly open red lips made her face look a little stupid.
The prince was overjoyed, grabbed his mother's hand in turn, and said with a smile: "After all, my son is the only son-in-law, no matter what, my father loves me and won't care too much about that little thing." Mother, don't worry. ”
Empress Cai turned her head and raised her hand to slap the prince in the face.
The crisp sound of "pop" made the fire and candles in the hall tremble.
The crown prince's face showed a five-fingered mountain mark, and he half-covered his face, revealing an incredulous shocked gaze, "Mother, what are you doing here?!" ”
Empress Cai said: "If you really think that your father doesn't care, then your position as the crown prince is about to end!" ”
"It's just a small matter, isn't it?" The prince shouted aggrievedly, "It's still the damn Pu Yangxuan's shit, why does my father care so much?" It is impossible for them to find out the truth, what are we afraid of?! ”
"It seems that the lesson your father taught you last time was far from enough." Queen Cai said hatefully, her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and she was so uncomfortable.
Referring to the last time he was punished, the prince's eyes flashed with discomfort and embarrassment, and he rolled his eyes as if he wanted to escape from this matter, "...... Two things are not the same, how can they be compared? Mother, my son just thinks that there have been a lot of things that have not gone well recently, which has annoyed you, so he will be all soldiers. ”
The hand that Empress Cai had just slapped the prince was still aching, but she couldn't wait to slap the prince again.
She stared at the crown prince fixedly, wondering if he should find a reason to let him "retreat" in the East Palace until the day when he successfully ascended the throne?
Prince Wuzi continued: "Puyang Xuan's trip to Liangzhou was not rewarded, and now that he has been wronged so much, his father still doesn't say anything at all, what does it mean? It means that his father doesn't care about him at all? Pu Yangxuan is like a grass dog in front of my father and me, tied with a rope, pointing where to go up, and giving a stinky bone can also gnaw with relish, do such people need to care? ”
He shook his head and waved his hand.
"No, you don't. From this, it can be inferred that my father will not blame us for Pu Yangxuan's incident. ”
Empress Cai's hand doesn't hurt now, but she is numb, and she wants to raise it and slap this idiot again, but she feels a little difficult to lift it up, so she has to scold: "The emperor has nothing to say now, but do you dare to guarantee that the emperor will not pay attention to Pu Yangxuan?" The men and horses he led destroyed the remnants of the former dynasty in the ancient city of the West Night, so that the emperor could realize that he was cutting off from the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he was a complete Great Zhou man who was loyal to the emperor alone. ”
The prince sneered disdainfully.
Empress Cai looked at him and gasped.
It seems that the plan must be put into action in earnest.
