Chapter 33
Chapter 33
The eighth prince broke into the imperial concubine's bedroom with a pale face.
The maids, nurses and eunuchs around the imperial concubine all got orders from the imperial concubine early on, saying that the eighth prince was not allowed to come to see her easily.
In the past, when the imperial concubine was not pregnant, the imperial concubine was looking forward to seeing the eighth prince who lived outside the palace, and shed tears every night for this. When the imperial concubine believed that the child in her womb was a son, and that it was the reincarnation of a fairy, the imperial concubine was very reluctant to see the eighth prince.
After all, although the eighth prince is one of the only three surviving sons of Emperor Chengguang, he is the only son born to the imperial concubine.But the eighth prince got smallpox when he was three years old, and when he was being taken care of by the palace servants, the palace servants were careless for a moment, which made the three-year-old child uncontrollably itchy and scratched his entire face.When he recovered from the illness, all the pock marks on his face remained.
The originally clever, cute and beautiful little prince has turned into a gloomy and violent ugly monster that everyone avoids.
And this ugly monster has a particularly bad temper.I heard that the eighth prince, when he was young, even encouraged the little princess under the empress dowager to command a vicious dog to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!If it weren't for the servants around His Highness the Crown Prince who sacrificed their lives to protect them, the Crown Prince would be as disfigured as the Eighth Prince!
How many people who can survive in the palace are stupid?Seeing the behavior of the eighth prince, no one would guess that the eighth prince really wanted to ruin his appearance, and it was better to let that vicious dog ruin the prince's face.
It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been benevolent, so there are slaves who sacrifice their lives to protect the Lord, and the Crown Prince is fine.
It's just that, if the eighth prince did such an evil thing at such a young age, Emperor Chengguang finally punished him and made him go out of the palace to live in a courtier's house, and deprived the eighth prince of the right to have a fief in the future.
It must be known that the prince's future is either to gain power in the world, or to get a good fief and become king and hegemony in the fief.
But now, the appearance of the Eighth Prince has been ruined, the fief is gone, and he almost harmed His Highness the Crown Prince, and now His Majesty does not like him... Who can respect such an Eighth Prince?
Even the Eighth Prince himself, although he is young, knows how to be human, and knows that his future is cut off, and his temper is becoming more and more violent on weekdays. Not to mention other people, even the imperial concubine himself, began to dislike him This son is gone.
It's just that when the imperial concubine had only one son, the Eighth Prince, she thought that the Eighth Prince was her lifelong reliance. No matter how unbearable the Eighth Prince was, she still thought that the Eighth Prince was a good one.But since the imperial concubine became pregnant again, and there were rumors of the reincarnation of the immortal, the imperial concubine couldn't like her eldest son no matter what.
A son who doesn't even like the biological mother of the imperial concubine, how much respect can the palace people around the imperial concubine have for the eighth prince?
Therefore, as soon as the eighth prince rushed towards the palace, the palace people around the imperial concubine began to frown.
"Hurry up and hug the Eighth Prince? Your Majesty just woke up now. If the Eighth Prince ran too fast and disturbed your Majesty and the Little Prince, can you bear the responsibility?"
Therefore, the eighth prince, who was full of red eyes, was hugged by two palace servants before he rushed to the imperial concubine.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, take a rest first. Your Majesty has just woken up. If you want to see your Majesty, you have to wait outside for a while. After your Majesty has cleaned her face and combed her hair, you can go to your Majesty again. That is the way to be a son. Woolen cloth."
The eighth prince didn't listen at all, he kicked and beat the little eunuch who was hugging him, and said sharply: "Let go of me! Let go of me! This king is the son of my concubine, and I want to see my concubine. Why do you need to look at the faces of you dog slaves? How can the king see the concubine mother whenever he wants to come to see her, but now he can only stand outside the yard and wait? The king does not believe that this is the concubine's idea! It must be you The servant pretends to pass on the will of his mother and concubine, and deliberately looks down on this king! Let go of this king!"
The little eunuch who was hugging the eighth prince was kicked and beaten, but thinking that if he couldn't stop the eighth prince and the eighth prince really broke in, then the imperial concubine would definitely show him a good look!His heart trembled, and he immediately hugged the prince even tighter.
"Let go of me! You dog slave, let go of me quickly!"
The eighth prince yelled and cursed loudly, his feet getting harder and harder.
Due to the warmer weather, the doors of the imperial concubine's dormitory were not completely closed, so the Eighth Prince's yelling and cursing soon spread to the dormitory.
The imperial concubine heard her son's voice in her ears.
"Nonsense." The imperial concubine was pregnant with a child, and her body was working hard. She heard the noise of the eighth prince, pressed her forehead, and said with a little disgust, "Tan'er has been raised outside the palace for a few years, but the more she raises, the more clumsy she becomes. Unlike the noble prince, he looks like that urchin in the countryside. It's really nonsense, nonsense!"
The palace maid next to her laughed and said: "His Highness is still young, and you will be fine if you teach me well, Your Majesty. Besides, His Highness is now six years old, and it's time to start school. You can't even go to school, grow up." Now, His Highness the Eighth Prince is also sensible."
"Go to school?" The imperial concubine frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's impossible. If Tan'er wants to go to school, he can only go to school in the palace. If he goes to school in the palace, wouldn't it be a daily life?" They all want to come to me? His face looks ugly like that, it’s fine to scare Ben Gong, but if it scares this baby in Ben Gong’s womb, what should we do?”
The palace maid laughed a few times, but she didn't dare to speak.
At this time, the Eighth Prince just happened to squat the little eunuch on the ground after being kicked and beaten, holding his belly and screaming "Ouch", while he himself ran to the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom, just in time to hear the sound coming from inside the curtain. , the voice of his mother and concubine whom he relies on the most.
"His face is ugly like that..."
"It's fine to scare Bengong, but what should I do if I scare this baby in Bengong's womb?"
The Eighth Prince stood outside the curtain, but he stopped rushing in.
It wasn't until the little eunuch ran over to call him again, and the people behind the curtain heard it, that the Eighth Prince walked in with a gloomy face.
When the imperial concubine saw that the eighth prince was neither saluting nor showing a smile on his face, her face immediately sank.
She was about to get angry when she saw that the eighth prince had already walked in front of her, staring at her stomach with a strange expression, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mother, I want to touch it. Is it still alive? Not yet." dead?"
The imperial concubine was shocked and angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother is the reincarnation of an immortal, how could he die? Bah, bah, bah, if you are clumsy, don't speak if you can't speak. How can you curse your brother like this? You Cursing him, what good does it do you?"
The Eighth Prince thought in his little head, cursing it, and cursing it to death, of course it would be good for him.At least, in this way, his mother and concubine will only have his son again, and will be the same as before, not dislike his face, and speak to him tenderly.
"So, isn't it dead yet?" The Eighth Prince asked again seriously, "But, isn't it a fairy? Should a fairy go back to where a fairy should go? Why did he come to the world to suffer? Concubine Mother, Shall we send it back to the sky?"
The imperial concubine's face was already pale, she pointed at the Eighth Prince with trembling hands and said, "Quickly, drive him out of the palace! Don't allow him to see my emperor again! Quickly, drive him out!"
All the palace people were also startled, and rushed to drive the eighth prince away after hearing this.
Although the face of the Eighth Prince was ruined, his body was flexible and strong. Seeing that a group of people were coming to arrest him, the mother and concubine still looked at him like that, and his eye sockets became redder, and he moved out nimbly. .
He did not leave the palace, but ran straight towards the gymnasium built by Emperor Chengguang in the palace.
The gymnasium he went to was the place where it was said that the child in the imperial concubine's stomach was the Taoist priest reincarnated from an immortal.
Coincidentally, Emperor Chengguang was also there.
The eunuch next to Emperor Chengguang saw the eighth prince, and after asking about the purpose of the eighth prince's visit, he thought about it for a while, and went in to report the matter.
Hearing the words, the Taoist priest just laughed: "The old Taoist has never seen the eighth prince, so I don't know why the eighth prince came to see the old Taoist." Then he glanced at Emperor Chengguang, "It's just what the old Taoist said, the eighth prince probably won't listen I understand. Whether you see or not is entirely up to His Majesty."
Emperor Chengguang is a few years older now, and although he looks good, the wrinkles on his face can't be covered up no matter what.
He only squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and asked the Eighth Prince to come in.
The Eighth Prince was originally most afraid of Emperor Chengguang, but no matter how afraid he was, he still wanted to come here.
"Father, my son wants to ask the chief, since the one in the concubine's stomach is the reincarnation of a fairy, but my son heard from those people that it is not a good thing for a fairy to become a mortal. Can we help a group of that fairy, so that it can be reincarnated?" Don't that fairy be born in the womb of the concubine mother, so that the unlucky fairy can be sent back to the sky?"
The Eighth Prince's face was very ugly, but the child's voice was very soft and cute. He carefully pulled the clothes of Emperor Chengguang, and continued, "Father, look how pitiful that fairy is. Immortals are all immortals. A person who is not old and has great powers. Once he is born in the womb of the concubine, he will become a mortal who will get sick. How pitiful and unlucky. Let's help him so that he will not be born, okay? Father, OK?"
The Taoist leader and the surrounding palace people felt a chill in their hearts.
A six-year-old child, even if it is placed outside the womb, should probably understand that if the child in the pregnant woman's womb is not born, there will only be one ending.
But does the Eighth Prince really not know, or is he just innocent?
And His Majesty... How could His Majesty agree to such a ridiculous request?Isn't the one in the imperial concubine's stomach the Holy Majesty's child?Besides, would the Holy Majesty be unhappy if there was a fairy son?
However, Emperor Chengguang patted the Eighth Prince's head, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "My son is so kind, I am very comforted."
There was a "thump" in the Taoist's heart.
"It's just that you are the only one who thinks that this 'immortal brother' will be pitiful after reincarnation. You should return to the heaven now. Tan'er, you need to let more people know about this, so that your mother and concubine Give up the selfish idea of leaving a fairy in the mortal world, you, understand?"
The Eighth Prince was confused, but still nodded.
Emperor Chengguang just smiled: "If my son can accomplish this thing, it is not good for the fief to give it to you again, but if my son has done such a good thing, he should be crowned king and open in Luoyang city." The mansion will give you a hundred good lands and a salary of 3000 taels of gold every year." After a pause, he continued, "My son is old enough to come back to live in the palace, so that it is convenient for him to study, and he will become useful in the future to assist me and your emperor. Brother."
The eighth prince, who was originally ignorant, was overjoyed when he heard the words.
He stood up and worshiped: "Immortals are immortals in the sky, and they should go back to heaven to continue to enjoy the boundless lifespan, with the best means. I am happy to be able to send immortals back to heaven, and I will definitely do my best!"
Emperor Chengguang laughed loudly: "Good, good, good!"
Help up the Eighth Prince himself.
All the palace people were still in a daze, wondering if they had heard something wrong.
The Taoist priest who thought he was smart enough to play around with Emperor Chengguang was actually in a cold sweat for no reason!
The eighth prince was only six years old, so he could come up with such a plan, so confidently begged Emperor Chengguang to help him get rid of the child in his biological mother's womb.How amazing and brilliant will this six-year-old be in the future?Vicious?
And this emperor... the Taoist priest thought of the emperor's words "good" and his acquiescing to kill his son, and felt that the fear in his heart actually filled his heart.
……
And the news that the eighth prince brought many people to plead for orders and begged the imperial concubine to "send" the immortal to the sky reached the border, it was already the middle of April in the 34th year of Chengguang.
Xiao Wuchen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, thinking of the behavior of the emperor's younger brother in the previous life, he didn't feel any difference.
As for his father...he should have thought of it long ago.
The imperial power is unique and supreme, the father can't even tolerate him as a prince, how can he tolerate a prince who is reincarnated from a fairy?
After all, Mrs. Shen didn't understand the thinking of the person on the throne.
Thinking so, Xiao Wuchen walked slowly outside his tent.
When the news came that the fairy was going to be "sent back" to the sky after his reincarnation, they really started to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
Xiao Wuchen originally thought that the servants around him would clean up his salutes, but when he was outside the tent, he realized that he had really thought too little...
"This is the crown prince's quilt and blanket, which should be placed on the carriage, and the crown prince will continue to use it." This was Ah Yao's voice.
"No, the things on the prince's carriage have been replaced by new ones. These old items..." Xiao Junye took those things with one hand, "Put them all on the prince's carriage!"
Ah Yao: "..."
Xiao Wuchen: "..."
"And that, that, yes, the one in your hand... put them all away, and put them all on the king's carriage! Don't miss any of them!"
Xiao Wuchen: "..." He really wanted to pretend he didn't know anything, but Uncle Huang, you have to cover it up a bit anyway!
This kind of openness... He wanted to pretend that he didn't know, but he couldn't pretend anymore.
