The old emperor was indeed a little angry. It was not his turn to be taught by a child what he wanted to do. Besides, it was his own idea to let the dog live in the palace and he helped take care of it. What did it have to do with Lu Baichuan and his wife?

Just as he was about to get angry, Concubine Liu said: "Seventeen, you have misunderstood General Lu and his wife. It was the emperor who felt that he was very close to Young Master Lu, so he allowed Young Master Lu to live in the palace. Inside."

Concubine Liu explained that she did not want the Seventeenth Prince to say anything that would make the old emperor angry again, but she did not expect that her words would make the Seventeenth Prince even more unbalanced.

Doesn’t the father have a fate with his biological sons and daughters? Why do you ignore them but treat an outsider so well?

He clenched his fists and wanted to say more, but Concubine Rou pulled him down and sat down, sternly accusing him: "That's enough, I have taught you so many times, don't do this." Be polite, don't disrespect your father, where have you read all the sages' books!"

To be honest, Concubine Rou likes her current life. There are no disputes in the harem, and the old emperor is free. After coming down, I walked around various palaces, which was pretty good to her. She was very satisfied. However, she didn't expect her son to be so jealous. He was so excited when he saw that the old emperor was treating the dog better.

The seventeenth prince was very unconvinced, but seeing his mother and concubine angry, he did not dare to say anything. He just stared at the dog angrily, but the dog quietly ate the bowl as if nothing happened. The food in the restaurant seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The seventeenth prince was even more unhappy. He felt that the dog had robbed his father and pretended as if nothing had happened, which made people itching to hate him.

The old emperor lost his temper at this time, put down the chopsticks in his hands, looked at the seventeenth prince, and said seriously: "If you want to know the reason, then I will tell you. ."

"First of all, Gou'er's mother saved my life. If not, I would have gone to lie down in the imperial mausoleum; secondly, Gou'er is very smart and proficient in civil and military affairs. He is a rare person. I just like him because he is a good young man who is brave and courageous. In addition, the reason why Gou'er lives in the palace is because his father went to investigate the case of Dong Tingxi, and his mother even replaced his father's position in the palace. Guarding the military camp."

"Are you asking why Gou'er's mother, a female prostitute, can guard the military camp and lead the troops in training? Because there are so many ministers in the court who can do practical things when they encounter real troubles. But there are not many people here! If it weren’t for the dog’s parents guarding you, you wouldn’t even be able to be jealous here, even if you want to drink hot soup, it would be a luxury!”

“I know, these Nian has been too negligent to you. You can blame me, you can say anything wrong about anyone, but you can’t direct your anger at dogs, do you understand?”

These words of the old emperorI said it when I plan to go to court tomorrow, so it’s not impossible to practice in advance now.

The Seventeenth Prince's unhappiness instantly weakened. He was just having a little temper, but he didn't expect his father to say this to him so seriously.

So, is it all the result of the dog’s parents that he can eat here with peace of mind now?

After all, he was just a child, so he was not too thick-skinned. When the old emperor said this, he lowered his head in shame.

Others were also surprised that the old emperor would say this to a child who was not very sensible. What was even more surprising was that the seventeenth prince really listened.

Not only did Shi Qi listen, but so did several other princes and princesses who were equally unhappy but did not dare to speak.

For a time, I no longer had so much resentment towards the dog.

Concubine Rou took the opportunity to say: "You just offended Mr. Lu with your words, go and apologize to him."

The seventeenth prince paused, but he didn't expect this. Thinking that a prince like him was going to apologize to the dog, he felt a little conflicted in his heart.

But everyone was looking at him, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, the dog finally said: "No need to apologize. Those who don’t know are not guilty. Just don’t do this next time!"

The dog said to The Seventeenth Prince smiled. He actually understood the Seventeenth Prince's mood very well.

The emperor's grandfather is the father of the seventeenth prince. He has never been so kind to the seventeenth prince, but he is so kind to him in front of everyone. It is right for people to be angry.

The seventeenth prince did not expect that the dog would let go of such an opportunity to laugh at him. Still in a daze, the old emperor said: "Eat, you will have to go back and do your homework later."

In the past, the old emperor would not have paid too much attention to the children's homework, but seeing how good the dog was, he immediately wanted to take a roll. He didn't believe that he had given birth to so many babies. A child who can compare to the Lu family?

Children are not stupid, they just don’t work hard enough.

The seventeenth prince took up his job again, but he lost his appetite and was a little preoccupied.

After a while, the old emperor said again: "From now on, you will come to me from the Imperial Academy together every night, and I will test your homework."

Several princes :...

The little princesses did not dare to say anything, for fear that their father would target them. Although they also had to study and practice calligraphy, their requirements were not as high as those of men. Anyway, they only needed to be able to read and write, so they usually If there is too much laxity, the literary talent will naturally be bad.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor was unwilling to let them go at all. After talking about the prince, he continued: "You should come together, so as not to say that I am partial and not interested in you."

With the children Their reaction was different, but the concubines were very happy. The old emperor seemed to pay attention to them. If this could continue, their lives would definitely be much better than before.

Then, the children were held down by their mother and concubine reluctantly to thank them.

Early the next morning, after sending the children away, the old emperor went to court. As he expected, today was all about impeaching Lu Baichuan and Gou'er.

The courtiers stepped forward one after another to start playing. The old emperor acted as if he had not heard anything and even yawned out of boredom.

I haven’t gotten up so early to go to court for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

The courtiers talked for a while, but found that neither the old emperor nor the prince spoke, and just listened to them quietly, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

"Your Majesty, although this is a small matter of fighting between children, it can be seen from the small. The Lu family has become lawless even if they rise too fast. A child as young as this can If you beat someone, you still don’t know what will happen in the future. Please ask your Majesty for a clear warning!”

“In my opinion, it is a son’s mistake to not teach his father, so he should advise General Lu properly, but not like this You are so proud of yourself that you don’t take so many of us seriously!”

“Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for us!”

…

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they immediately knelt down. There was a crowd of people kneeling in the main hall.

Those whose children were not bullied also followed suit, reasoning that if they didn’t deal with Lu Ziyu today, their children would be the ones who suffered next time.

The old emperor laughed at this, looked at the group of people below, and said: "You want to call Lu Baichuan? Okay, then you dear ladies should choose someone to handle Dongting's affairs. Lu Baichuan can stay in the palace every day and teach his son well."
