But after all, she is a biological mother and concubine, and a biological sister.
If King Xiang continues to stay in the palace and is blown into the pillow by Concubine Shu a few more times, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind.
Emperor Zhaoming frowned slightly and suddenly asked: "Prince Xiang, how long ago was the last time you went on an errand?"
King Xiang's expression froze: "This"
The corners of the prince's mouth twitched and he continued: "If I remember correctly, it seems to have happened last year?"
It's almost winter now.
In other words.
Prince Xiang has not done any serious errands for almost a year.
Emperor Zhaoming suddenly darkened his face and scolded him in a cold voice: "I haven't been on errands for so long, and I haven't seen you go to court. What have you been busy with this year? Are you drinking wine here and there?"
King Xiang: ""
He said dejectedly: "I know my mistake."
"No wonder your mother-in-law wants to beat you. According to me, you really deserve to be beaten! What adult prince is like you? He spends his whole day doing nothing, just messing around with his friends. Even King Xian and King Cheng are more diligent than you in doing errands!"
Emperor Zhaoming continued to reprimand.
King Xiang: ""He has nothing to say.
The fourth prince, Prince Xian, is another military prince under King Yi.
Since childhood, I have not loved literature but martial arts.
After reaching the age of seventeen, the first thing His Highness King Xian did when he entered the court was to hand over a certificate and invite himself to be a general at the border gate to guard the border for Northern Qin. He stayed there for five or six years.
Because his biological mother died young and he had no worries in the capital, King Xian stayed at the border all year round and only returned to the capital once every two or three years.
Therefore, among the many princes and princes in the capital, he does not have much sense of presence.
By the way.
He has a very good relationship with Zhan Beihan, and they even practiced martial arts together when they were young.
Not to mention becoming a king.
As the fifth prince, King Cheng had an advantage from the moment he was born. Unlike King Xiang, who was the second eldest and was sandwiched between the two legitimate princes, the Crown Prince and King Yi, his status was very embarrassing.
King Cheng's biological mother was Concubine De, and she was famous for being low-key and calm in the palace. She never took the initiative to stir up trouble, and she was not as pushy as Concubine Shu.
My mother's reputation was good, and she even benefited from becoming a king.
Emperor Zhaoming, the prince and even the ministers in the court had a high degree of favor and trust in King Cheng, and they did not prevent him from contacting the government. As time went by, the number of errands assigned to King Cheng naturally increased.
He was even busier than his elder brother, King Xiang.
Only King Xiang.
He is not loved by his father and mother, and even when he is on an errand, he is watched and guarded by the courtiers, for fear that he will suddenly become ambitious and do something that will destabilize the court.
My identity is really embarrassing and sensitive.
King Xiang himself knew that, in order to avoid being jealous, he simply stopped doing errands.
result
No errands, no contact with court affairs.
Emperor Zhaoming was indeed relieved about him, but he didn't like him because he was doing nothing, so he would scold him every chance he got.
Not to mention that Concubine Shu scolded him every day for not living up to expectations.
The important officials in the court sighed as soon as they saw him, with a look of hatred on their faces.
Prince Xiang could only smile bitterly in his heart.
If he really "lives up", his mother and concubine will be happy, but my father and the ministers in the court will probably not be happy!
Therefore, it is really unreasonable for his father to reprimand him for not doing business properly.
Obviously, his father also wanted him to live in peace and contentment and just be a wealthy and idle man, but he blamed him for not caring about things. Isn't this because he wanted the horse to run away and not give it grass to eat?
However, no one can reason with the emperor.
Prince Xiang lowered his head silently, showing a heavy and penitent expression on his face.
