Chapter 324: Scolding
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Compared to the peace and warmth of the Heng family, many people couldn’t sleep tonight.
The Gong Prince was summoned by Emperor Zhao Qian and the two brothers chatted.
If one were to watch their interaction, one could tell that there was not much affection between the two brothers. In the end, it was nothing more than how the Empress Dowager’s health was in the palace. The Gong Prince was thinking about when he would go to the capital to fulfill his filial piety.
Emperor Zhao Qian asked about the Gong Prince’s children.
“You also have to discipline your children well. You can’t let them be too arrogant and despotic. With our status, even a displeased look can make the people below do evil things that violate heaven and reason.”
“Don’t you agree?” Emperor Zhao Qian asked.
He had many children, but no one dared to bully him.
Because he strictly forbade anyone who dared to bully others, he would immediately demote them to commoners and punish them to guard the imperial mausoleum.
If someone didn’t believe him, he would punish them ruthlessly.
He would not give them a chance to return to their position or life in this lifetime.
“You are right to reprimand me. After I return, 1 will definitely be more strict in disciplining them.”
The Gong Prince spoke of Li Mi and Han Chi’s marriage.
Emperor Zhao Qian laughed lightly, “A person that Mi’er likes must be a good child.”
“As parents and elders, we only think of our children. If they really like each other, we should help them.”
Emperor Zhao Qian couldn’t help but think of marrying off his daughter.
“If Zhen Ling also has someone she likes…”
Even if there was someone she liked, for the sake of righteousness, Zhen Ling would go for a marriage alliance without hesitation.
Emperor Zhao Qian’s voice was very soft, but the Gong Prince still heard it.
He thought to himself, who was the one who offended Emperor Zhao Qian?
“Return home. Don’t worry, I’m here for Heng Yi,” Emperor Zhao Qian didn’t hide this matter.
There was even a hint of excitement in his tone.
And the fact that he did not hide his thoughts at all.
“Congratulations to the Emperor, you have a great general in your hands. Soon, we will be able to recover our lost territory and bring Zhenling back.”
Emperor Zhao Qian loved hearing that.
Naturally, he didn’t let the Gong Prince return empty-handed and rewarded him with some things.
After the Gong Prince left the inn, the officials waiting outside were dismissed and returned home.
In the inn, Emperor Zhao Qian leaned on his chair and asked Heng Congshan, “Did you see anything?”
“I have poor eyesight.”
Emperor Zhao Qian snorted.
Poor eyesight?
However, he did not dare to voice his thoughts out loud.
He wasn’t as frank as Heng Yi.
“Forget it, 1 won’t make things difficult for you. Go and rest.”
Could Emperor Zhao Qian fall asleep?
Of course, he couldn’t sleep.
Even though he was tired and uncomfortable, he was still excited.
When the Gong Prince returned to his palace, he immediately asked who had gone out that day.
“The Crown Prince, Eldest Princess, and Second Princess have all gone out today, Your Highness.”
H ii
The Gong Prince was silent for a moment, “Call the Crown Prince and Eldest Princess over,”
Li Zhao did not expect that he would be scolded the moment he entered the study in the front yard.
It was fine for him. He was a boy, so it was not a big deal for him to be scolded.
However, Li Mi’s eyes were already turning red.
BANG!
The door of the study was kicked open.
As soon as the Gong Prince’s consort entered the study, she smashed a few things.
She angrily pointed at the Gong Prince and scolded, “You muddle-headed and incompetent coward! You, blind fool! You didn’t scold the person who made the mistake, but you called my two children over to vent your anger! Some capable man you are!”
“Mother!” Li Mi threw herself into the Gong Prince’s consort’s arms and cried.
She was already engaged, yet she was still being scolded for no reason.
More than feeling wronged for being scolded for no reason, she felt embarrassed.
She was even more afraid that Han Chi would find out that she had done something wrong and scold her as well..
