MTL - Dianxia Qingcheng-Chapter 40 Aggrieved Ninth Prince pretending to be a daughter
This is what Amule said. If the emperor forcibly punished him, he would seem petty.
Pei Zhengfu said something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's expression changed when he saw Qi Yirou.
"Come here, send the third princess back to the bedroom, and the imperial doctor Xuan will diagnose and treat as soon as possible."
The two palace maids were about to come forward to support Qi Yirou, who was kneeling on the ground, but she didn't know where the strength came from, and she slapped a palace maid on the cheek.
"Don't touch me! Father, you must be the master of your daughter!" Qi Yirou burst into tears, "All the people in this palace bully me and don't take me seriously, not even him! The envoy dares to hurt me, Father Huang, he didn't take our Heavenly Dynasty in his eyes at all..."
Qi Yirou moved to the emperor's leg while crying, ignoring that the emperor's face was already ashen.
The entire pavilion was silent, as if all of them were watching this good show.
Amule was still smiling. He had already recognized the princess' skirt, which was the one who wanted to push the little guy down the stone ladder.
Just now, he obviously could hold back his strength, but he kicked her knees to pieces, watching her roll on the ground in pain, and then mercilessly dragged her back to the pavilion.
"You shut up! Why are you getting more and more unruly!" The emperor was already angry. With so many barbarian messengers here, his little daughter was really spoiled.
"Royal father, you are cruel to me, and you are never willing to be cruel to Rou'er. It's all because of that fool!" Qi Yirou's eyes were covered with a layer of fierceness, which made everyone present shudder when they saw it.
"Because his father murdered me for the first time, and it was also the first time that I was locked up. He, he should stay in that palace for the rest of his life and not come out! I must take revenge! I must take revenge back..."
Qi Yirou muttered to herself, as if she had lost her mind.
With a crisp sound, the emperor slapped Qi Yirou directly.
Qi Yirou finally stopped talking, her cheeks were immediately swollen, as if she had never suffered such humiliation before, staring at her in shock.
"Father, you hit me..."
The emperor waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Take the third princess down soon. After the injury is healed, she will send it to the Nanshan ancestral hall, where she will be punished for copying scriptures and reciting Buddha for one year. If you don't repent by then, you will never come back!"
Qi Yirou was so frightened that she cried out of tune. She hugged the emperor's leg and begged for mercy again and again, but the emperor was determined to punish her. In the end, Qi Yirou cried and was taken away.
The emperor sighed. No matter how pampered this little daughter was on weekdays, he just kept one eye closed to protect her, but she dared to be so cruel in front of outsiders, how could she look like a princess of a big country.
It really made the Heavenly Dynasty lose face!
Besides, besides, she can't move her son easily.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that the fool who was just mentioned by the third princess, is the prince of the Heavenly Dynasty?"
Amule is clearly asking the question.
Everyone was still waiting eagerly for the emperor's answer, and the emperor had to answer, "Exactly."
Amule smiled and said, "I think this prince is pure and kind, not quite the same as other people from the Celestial Dynasty, but it is very appropriate for us to be frank and honest with the barbarian folk customs."
The other barbarian messengers suddenly looked at each other ambiguous and laughed. Pei Zheng had been standing by the emperor's side, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
The emperor ordered everyone else to retreat, leaving only the emperor Pei Zheng and Amule in the pavilion.
The emperor said, "Amule envoy, there is no one else here, why don't you tell me frankly."
Amule glanced at Pei Zheng, "Your Majesty, the truth is that it is not uncommon for the leader of our clan to like men in the southwest, and this minister believes that the prince Qi Changyi is very much in line with the preferences of the leader of our clan."
The emperor said, "This...it's not that I don't want to marry my son. Since ancient times, there has been no man in this relationship. If this precedent was set and passed on, wouldn't it make the world laugh at it!"
Amule paused, but his tone was very strong.
"Your Majesty, since the Heavenly Dynasty first proposed the matter of marriage, my barbarians are also willing to temporarily truce and conduct peace talks, but if the Heavenly Dynasty is unwilling to meet even this request, I think..."
Pei Zheng suddenly interrupted the two of them.
"Your Majesty, this is not impossible. No one has ever seen the prince, and there are guards escorting him on the way with the relatives. All you need to do is to temporarily disguise the prince as a daughter along the way, and declare to the outside world that she is a princess with a foreign surname who has blood relatives in the royal family. There is no need to worry too much in the country.”
…
Inside the prince's bedroom.
Li Yu was so distressed that he smeared the medicine on his face for his Highness. His Highness clearly had tears in the corners of his eyes, but he kept saying that it didn't hurt.
Li Yu really wanted to slap himself a few times, but why didn't he protect His Highness well, causing the little Highness to get hurt again.
Qi Changyi put the tip of his tongue against the corner of his mouth, and his bulging cheeks made it easy to apply medicine. He looked like a little frog with big eyes.
A little **** ran in and said, "His Royal Highness, the third princess has been severely punished this time! She was sent to the Nanshan ancestral hall for a whole year, and I heard that she was lame when she left!"
Qi Changyi blinked twice, but before he made any expression, Li Yuxian and the little **** laughed together.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"
Qi Changyi followed with his crescent-like eyes.
Suddenly a few more people came in outside the door of the bedroom, and the father-in-law at the head stood in the courtyard and said, "His Royal Highness, please prepare for the next two days. Your Highness the Emperor Xuan will go out to the palace to hunt with you the day after."
Hunting?
Although the emperor went out to the palace for hunting more than once, and would bring many princes, ministers and nobles, but Qi Changyi was not qualified to follow him once.
This time, the envoys of the barbarian hunters will also follow, presumably it will be even more grand.
With secret excitement and excitement in his heart, Qi Changyi finally ushered in the day to set off for the hunting ground.
Dozens of maids and eunuchs were waiting in the other palaces, but Qi Changyi only had Li Yu by his side.
At the gate of the palace, many sedan chairs lined up in a long queue. In front of them were the imperial guards on horseback. The emperor's sedan chair was in the middle, followed by the sedan chairs of Pei Zheng and the barbarian envoys. Other princes, ministers and princes.
Qi Changyi's sedan chair was at the end of all the princes. He had been lying in front of the small window all the way, and secretly lifted a corner to look at the colorful outside world, his eyes sparkling brightly.
I kept counting in my heart, this is the street, this is the house, this is the mountain forest, this is the lake, everything is so beautiful and novel.
The sedan chair suddenly stopped on an open grass, and the emperor ordered everyone to rest for a while before moving forward.
Many people on the sedan chairs came down and walked around saying hello and greetings.
Qi Changyi didn't know anyone he knew, so he stayed in the sedan chair obediently by himself, leaning on the small window with his head tilted. Since he got up early this morning, he started to fight while lying on his face with his eyelids. Then just fell asleep.
In the drowsiness, the sedan chair seemed to be moving forward again, and a pair of strong hands stretched out behind him and took the little man into his arms.
