Chapter 518: Mingyue's Heartbroken
The Crown Prince of Zhou immediately bowed his head and said in panic: "Father, please calm down, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
Emperor Zhou looked at the prince of Zhou who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Li Cheng, remember, the position of prince may or may not be yours, go back to your East Palace and let me confine you to think about it for a month! "
The Crown Prince of Zhou trembled, but he didn't dare to disobey the Emperor Zhou's words: "My ministers take the decree to thank you..."
After finishing speaking, he stood up in trepidation, bowed cupped hands, and cautiously took a few steps towards the retreat before turning around and leaving, not daring to offend Zhou Huang who was already angry again.
Zhou Huang, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the imperial study, clenched one hand tightly.
The emperor can be ruthless, but he must not be ungrateful.
Righteousness here is not righteousness, but righteousness.
The king of a country can have no talent or virtue, let alone lose the righteousness in his heart.
Although the three countries fought against each other, one thing remained unchanged, that is, they all believed that they were orthodox in the Central Plains.
The land of the Central Plains is the territory that has not been recovered by our own country. How can these territories allow foreigners to covet them? !
Now the situation in the Central Plains is said to be a three-legged confrontation if it is big, and it is a feud between brothers if it is small.
Dad left in a hurry and didn't have time to make a will. Now their three countries are almost equivalent to three brothers fighting for family property.
No matter how much your own people fight for it, but outsiders want to get involved?
wishful thinking!
...
Imperial Garden
Before the crown prince's ceremony of honor, a woman in a court dress stood in front of the prince, comforting the sunken Zhou prince and said: "Father must have just misunderstood all the time, Dage must not be too angry."
Prince Zhou said with a serious face: "Father is not wrong, don't say any more! I will spend a month in the East Palace in the future, and I dare not disobey orders."
After all, the Crown Prince Zhou was about to step away and head towards the East Palace.
Apparently, the prince's mood did not improve without a few words of comfort from his third sister.
The third princess looked at the moon-white dress in a remote place, and then pulled the prince to fold it in one direction and said: "Dage walks this way, and it's better to walk in the imperial garden. It's easy to get out of the palace after thinking about it. At this time You might as well look at the flowers and colors in the Royal Garden."
Hearing what the third princess said, Prince Zhou nodded his head and said, "Alright."
Imperial Garden
a secluded path
In a corner where autumn chrysanthemums were blooming, there stood a beautiful figure in a moonlit dress.
Although this place is remote, it is also elegant and beautiful.
The beauty holds a page of rice paper in her hand.
On the rice paper are the poems under the book neatly written in small letters with hairpin flowers:
Silver candles in the autumn light are coldly drawn on the screen, and a small fan flutters the fireflies lightly.
The sky is as cool as water at night, sit and watch Altair Vega.
The poem on the paper was recited lightly by the beautiful woman, and she chuckled lightly in her murmur, also a little bit shy.
This beautiful figure in a moonlight dress is Li Mingyue.
Although Li Mingyue likes the free scenery like flowers, plants, trees, cicadas and birds, she is just a forgotten person in this deep palace, and the other princes and princesses in the palace can only think of her when they are in a bad mood. .
The beautiful scenery in the imperial garden does not belong to her, even if she enjoys flowers and plants, she only comes to the most remote part of the imperial garden.
This seldom-traveled Qiuju trail is where she often comes.
Qiu Ju is fresh and elegant, blooming here does not compete with others, she likes here very much, and also likes to bring his poems here.
At this moment, Li Mingyue sensed that someone was approaching, so she quickly dodged to the side, and the crown prince walked slowly.
The third princess beside Prince Zhou came over and saw Li Mingyue holding a piece of paper in her hand, and said with a smile: "Who was I then? Wasn't this...wasn't that...that...Princess Mingyue? This title is so strange, Is there a fief named Mingyue in Zhou Kingdom's ten thousand li territory?"
The titles of princesses and princes are usually named after fiefdoms. Although princesses have no right to govern and do not have to leave the capital like adult princes, they can enjoy fief taxes. The words of the third princess are clearly mocking Li Mingyue as a A wild species that doesn't even have a fief.
Li Mingyue just stood with her head down, her face was calm, and she didn't speak. She had encountered such cynicism a few times after returning to China, but the third princess she didn't want to face was the one she didn't want to face.
This person has an arrogant temper and likes to poke people where they hurt, and he is also extremely favored in the palace.
The jade pendant left by her mother was broken by the third princess.
Seeing that Li Mingyue didn't speak, the third princess laughed and said, "Look, big brother, she can't even speak. It's ridiculous to call Mingyue and be called Princess Mingyue. She doesn't even have a title with that one, and she can only do it now." The big brother brought in the palace is as humble, a wild child who can only stay in the palace for the rest of his life, alas, the eighth brother had a state fief soon after he was born, right? Where is your fief?"
When you are in a bad mood, bullying and bullying Princess Mingyue, who is more than a concubine, can cut most of your anger at once, how can you make people unhappy?
Li Mingyue held the rice paper in her hand, bit her lip with silver teeth, holding back her anger.
She can't get angry, can't talk back, otherwise she will definitely get entangled with her, and in the end her brother's situation in the palace will only be more difficult.
She could only bear it, otherwise she would only make things difficult for her brother.
The third princess saw the rice paper in Li Mingyue's hand, and pulled it over. Li Mingyue was unprepared at first, but when she reacted, she only had a corner of the paper in her hand.
Li Mingyue was afraid of tearing the rice paper with the third princess, so she could only let go and watched the third princess rudely playing with the paper. Li Mingyue's eyes were full of distress, and she finally asked: "Please return the poem to the emperor." To Mingyue."
"So you can talk, I thought you were dumb." The third princess mocked Li Mingyue, and then looked at the poems written on the rice paper, but was startled. Could it be that this concubine wrote the words?
Can a bastard born to a court lady write such a good poem? Why is she? !
Thinking of this, the three princesses were heartbroken, and under Li Mingyue's distressed eyes, they tore the paper into pieces and threw them on the ground: "Sour poems and rotten words are also worthy of being written to show people?"
The prince glanced at Li Mingyue who was already at the same place, and said, "Since she was born with all kinds of illnesses, it's better to live in your cold palace and not come out, so as not to cause people to be suspicious for no reason, third sister, let's go .”
The prince's guard of honor went away.
Li Mingyue's vermilion lips were oozing with blood from being bitten by her white teeth, and then she knelt down and picked up the pieces of paper scattered on the ground one by one, for fear that one piece would be blown away by the wind, although she didn't want to cry but Tears fell uncontrollably, wet the back of the hand that was picking up things.
It took a long time before Li Mingyue collected all the fragments in her hands and carefully put them into the kit.
Here is his poem...
...
Li Xun, who was dressed in a gray robe, stood beside the high rockery and saw this scene, his face was already gloomy. All the stones on the rockery were crushed by his right hand, and he didn't even notice that the broken stones pierced into the flesh and were stained red with blood.
