Chapter VII Grounded
The old eunuch Feng Yulou had stood at the door of the school at some unknown time, looking at everyone in the school with a serious face.
"The emperor ordered that the royal children and Lu Jijiu should stay, and the others should avoid it immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, all the princes and princes present did not dare to disobey and hurriedly left the school.
Just when Yu Hao was about to leave, the old eunuch Yu Hao stopped him and said with a smile: "Consort, you are going to marry the princess soon. You are half a royal child. The emperor has said that you don't need to avoid it."
"All right."
Yu Hao nodded and stood aside helplessly.
At this moment, the princess suddenly snorted coldly and glared at Yu Hao fiercely.
Although Yu Hao had just helped her revive Lu Jijiu, she still hated Yu Hao from the bottom of her heart. The words "consort" sounded so harsh to her ears.
After a while, Emperor Zhu Song walked in with a dark face supported by two young eunuchs.
The princess hurriedly greeted her, showed a sweet smile, and said in a delicate voice: "Father, why are you here?"
Zhu Yan is the only princess of Daqian and the apple of the emperor's eye. The emperor has never been able to resist her coquettishness.
But this time, Emperor Zhu Song obviously didn't accept this trick and didn't even look at her.
"Why did you appear in the Imperial College?"
"Uh...I'm here...I'm here to see the royal brothers studying," the princess said hesitantly.
"You still dare to lie to me now, kneel down!" Zhu Songlongyan was furious, and his tiger eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.
Upon seeing this, the prince and the second prince fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, not even daring to raise their heads.
Although the princess was reluctant, she slowly knelt down in front of Zhu Song, lowered her head and played with the hem of her skirt.
Yu Hao and Zhu An looked at each other and knelt down.
Just as Lu Jijiu moved his old body to kneel down, Zhu Song stepped forward to support Lu Jijiu, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I was late and almost caused an accident to your husband. I am heartbroken!"
As he spoke, Zhu Song's eyes turned red, and it was obvious that he respected the teacher Lucheng from the bottom of his heart.
But the more he acted like this, the more uneasy he made the kneeling people, except of course Yu Hao.
"Your Majesty is concerned about me, but I have nothing to repay you for!"
Lu Jijiu was so moved that he burst into tears immediately.
"Thanks to Young Master Yu's wonderful rejuvenation, otherwise I would never see Your Majesty again."
Zhu Song nodded, calmed down his emotions, and said seriously: "Yu Hao, please get up too. I already know what happened in the Imperial College. I didn't expect you to have such ability. I am deeply gratified."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Hao stood up and stood aside honestly.
It was no surprise that Zhu Song knew what happened in the Imperial College.
After all, how could a place as important as the Imperial College not have Zhu Song's eyeliner?
But when these words reached the prince's ears, he was shocked all over.
Sure enough, Zhu Song's next words made the prince feel like he was falling into the ice cave, "Your Highness the prince! Lord of the East Palace! You pretended not to see the princess stabbing the consort with a sword, and you didn't know that the wine was frightened and fell to the ground. What happened first was what you thought about. You protect yourself and do not care about the friendship between brothers and sisters. You are a good prince!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Song's tone was extremely cold, and an invisible murderous intention suddenly enveloped everyone present.
The prince suddenly collapsed to the ground, his whole body soaked with sweat, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
He knew that what Zhu Song was really angry about was that Lu Jijiu almost died.
But he was only focused on watching the show at that time and didn't even notice that Lu Jijiu fainted!
"I wanted to kill Yu Hao, and I was the one who scared Lu Jijiu out. It has nothing to do with the emperor!" At this moment, the princess spoke.
"Shut up! I just indulge you too much, and that's why you developed such an arrogant and domineering character. You even dare to break into the Imperial Academy. You are so brave!"
"Father, please take back my life. I really don't want to marry Yu Hao. Please, okay!"
Seeing that Zhu Song was really angry, the princess started playing coquettishly again.
"No, you have nothing to say. Since I have told the world, there is no reason to take it back. This matter is settled like this."
Zhu Song rejected the princess without hesitation, but looking at the princess' cute appearance, the anger in his heart immediately disappeared a lot.
The princess pouted, feeling very unhappy.
Normally, as long as she acted coquettishly, Zhu Song would agree to any request, but today she acted coquettishly twice, and Zhu Song ignored her.
It's all because of Yu Hao, a slut, he's really annoying!
Looking at the prince who was paralyzed on the ground and almost peeing from fear, Zhu Song's eyes flashed with disappointment. Then he looked at the second prince who was gloating about his misfortune and the third prince who bowed his head in silence. Zhu Song sighed helplessly.
"From now on, the prince will be grounded for one month and no one will be allowed to visit him."
As soon as these words came out, the prince was shocked. He crawled to the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Song, "Father, I was wrong. You can punish me however you want. Just don't ground me, father!"
Although a one-month ban may not seem like much, once this ban is issued, everyone in the court will think that the prince has fallen out of favor, and it may affect his status as prince!
Moreover, Zhu Song said that no one is allowed to visit him within a month, and someone will probably be sent to put him under house arrest. By then, he will be completely isolated from the outside world.
It is very likely that other princes will take this opportunity to encroach on his power.
Cursing something useless in his heart, Zhu Song ignored the prince at all and continued to speak loudly: "Princess Jianyang is prohibited from leaving the princess mansion from now on until she is married to Yu Hao!"
"No, I don't agree!"
She didn't want to marry Yu Hao in the first place, and now she was grounded. Wouldn't that mean there was no room for her to struggle?
"Father, you are bullying others!"
The more the princess thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. Tears fell down her face and she ran out of the Imperial Academy crying.
Seeing the princess leaving, Zhu Song suddenly became furious. This girl is getting more and more presumptuous!
At this moment, the prince suddenly hugged Zhu Song's thigh and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child cannot be grounded. One hundred thousand soldiers who died in the border battles are still waiting for the child to receive pensions!"
The payment of pensions was originally a matter for the Ministry of War, but since Zhu Song ascended the throne, in order to establish the prestige of the royal family in the military, the prince was asked to act as agent for the placement of retired veterans and the pension issues for soldiers who died in battle.
In the past few years, the prince has done everything on the surface, but secretly he has deducted a lot of money every time.
In just three years, the prince made a lot of money from this job.
This time the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, and the pension was a huge sum of money.
If he is banned for a month, he will give up this good job to others, which he cannot accept.
"Doesn't what I say work? Do you want to rebel?"
Seeing the prince's bearish appearance, Zhu Song was furious and kicked the prince to his feet.
When Yu Hao and Lu Jijiu saw this, they immediately looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it.
"You don't have to worry about the pension! Yu Hao!"
"I'm here!"
"You should go to the Ministry of War immediately to deal with the pensions for the fallen soldiers, and there must be no mistakes!"
