Chapter 1074： Apply eye drops quietly!

Chapter 1074 Apply eye drops quietly!

“Your Highness, I am at fault!”

Dingbeihou knelt down without hesitation and admitted his mistake simply.

"I just passed by here, and when I saw the little fox, I kicked it, making it angry. I shouldn't provoke without reason, I am guilty. Please punish me, Your Highness, the prince, and I will accept the punishment sincerely!"

The prince raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "Dingbei Hou just kept saying that animals are rude. Why did he admit his mistake so quickly? People who don't know may think that His Highness is using his power to suppress the Marquis."

"No, no, Your Highness, it is all my fault. I am narrow-minded and angry at the little fox." Dingbei Hou secretly gritted his teeth, but his expression was humble, "I am willing to kneel here for an hour to reflect on my mistakes."

The prince touched the little fox, but he didn't kill it all. He said, "Well, since Lord Marquis feels bad about it, just kneel down for a while. It's ventilated here, and it's a good place to cool down."

After saying that, he hugged the little fox and walked to the imperial study room.

Eunuch Feng glared at Dingbei Hou, waved his hand and led the young eunuchs to follow him quickly.

In the blink of an eye, only the kneeling Marquis Dingbei was left in the noisy corridor just now.

He quietly unclenched his clenched fists, his eyes filled with hatred.

Originally I thought that even if he was a lackey, he would still be useful to the royal family.

I just found out today that he is worse than a lackey!

A useless little fox could actually force him, a prince, to kneel on the road!

Occasionally, courtiers would visit the emperor and pass by. When they suddenly saw the Marquis of Dingbei kneeling down as punishment, they were all startled.

Naturally, it was difficult for them to ask Dingbei Hou, so they could only ask the eunuchs and maids from the side.

The young **** and the maids’ answers were surprisingly consistent.

The Marquis of Dingbei offended His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince did not mind, but the Marquis of Dingbei took the initiative to punish him by kneeling down...

Everyone who heard about it couldn't help but frown, and secretly cursed Dingbeihou for being such a good person at flattering.

In order to attract the prince's attention and show my respect and loyalty, I was really shameless.

Your majesty, you have actually done this!

Dingbei Hou originally planned to win some sympathy points, but he failed to achieve his goal and was ridiculed.

Of course this is a story for later.

His Royal Highness carried the little fox all the way to the imperial study. Everyone on the way looked at him more.

The prince is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is handsome and noble. He also likes to wear black embroidered dragon robes. But now he is hugging a little fox that is all white. The sharp contrast is really indescribable and beautiful and harmonious.

When the emperor raised his head, he was stunned when he saw his son like this.

When he saw clearly the appearance of the little fox in his son's arms, he smiled and said, "Why is the prince holding Santiao? Didn't the little fox come out of the palace with Jiayin?"

The prince saluted, then sat casually by the desk, and said with a smile, "It is said that when the princess left the palace, she left the little fox with the third princess as a companion. But this little guy was running around, and he was kicked by Marquis Dingbei just now. He was so angry that he ran around. When I happened to see it, I picked it up. "

The emperor frowned and responded, "Marquis Dingbei? He is a marquis, why should he care about a fox?"

The prince took a peach to the little fox in the fruit plate and said casually, "It's up to the master to fight the fox! He's not arguing with the fox. He probably doesn't like the Li family!"

"Hmph!" The emperor sneered, "You ungrateful thing! He is alive because he presented evidence of the Queen Mother's crimes, but those evidences were found by the Li family. The Li family didn't say a word, but he was so full that he wanted to smash the bowl!"

The prince took off his handkerchief and wiped the peach juice from the little fox's mouth, and praised, "Father, Dingbeihou is really a hero among men, capable of bending and stretching. Just now I saw that my son was angry, and he actually asked to kneel on the Yong Road. Not afraid of embarrassment.”

As expected, the emperor became even more angry and cursed, "What do you mean by being able to bend and stretch? It's just for outsiders to see, forcing us, father and son, to show favor."

“Otherwise, others will say that our father and son are mean and ungrateful. After all, he has made a contribution to uncovering the crimes of the Queen Mother. If he is treated harshly as a ‘meritorious official’, it will chill everyone’s heart.”

After that, he told General Manager Yi, "Go and have a look, reward the Northern Marquis with a precious sword and a horse, and let him go back to his mansion." General Manager Yi immediately smiled and responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely reward you." Give the reward in a lively manner and let everyone know how much you value Marquis Dingbei."

The emperor waved his hand, smiled and cursed, "You are the smartest old slave, go ahead."

Mr. Yi quickly retreated. When he was going out, he couldn't help but glance at the prince quietly.

The prince was lowering his head, with an open-minded and studious look on his face, listening carefully to the emperor's explanation of Dingbei Hou's dirty intentions.

Does the prince really not know?

Not necessarily...

But he knew he had to pretend not to know, otherwise how could the emperor openly reward Dingbeihou, but actually feel shameless and disgusted in his heart.

From now on, even if Dingbeihou is "valued" by the emperor again, there is no need to worry.

The prince simply ended the hope of Dingbeihou holding great power!

Manager Yi lowered his head further and further, and did not dare to straighten up until he got down the steps.

This future emperor is probably even more thoughtful than the emperor.

Fortunately, with his many years of hard work serving the emperor, when the emperor dies, he can find a place to leave the palace to retire, so he no longer has to get involved in these intrigues.

It’s just…

Eunuch Feng came in from outside and saw Manager Yi looking at him with sympathy on his face. He was really confused.

He asked tentatively, "Chief steward, I just came from Zhilan Palace and have already informed the princess that the little fox is in the imperial study. Do you think...is there anything else I want to tell you?"

 Manager Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm going to run an errand. You take good care of the masters. I'll be back soon."

Eunuch Feng quickly agreed, and Manager Yi left.

Eunuch Feng rolled his eyes and had no idea what to think, so he stood at the door obediently, waiting for his masters' orders at any time.

In the house, after the little fox had eaten his fill of peaches, he found a corner of the table, curled up and took a nap.

The emperor took out a list and presented it to the prince.

“Look, this is your future concubine.”

The prince was following the big tail of the little fox. When he heard this, he was stunned, but he still opened the list.

As a result, all of them are the daughter of a certain minister, the granddaughter of a certain Duke...

He was silent for a while and then asked, "Father, I haven't chosen a concubine yet. What is the list..."

“Silly boy!” The emperor smiled nonchalantly, “Choosing a concubine is just an excuse. From now on you are the head of a country, how can you choose your concubines at will?

“These are all appointed candidates, who will be helpful to you in taking over the government in the future. Even if you don’t like them, you should be polite and courteous.

“As for choosing concubines, choose two women from lower family backgrounds that you like. It will just relieve your boredom on weekdays.”

Maybe he didn't hear the prince's response. The emperor frowned and reprimanded, "Even if you are the son of an ordinary family, you must be well-matched when marrying a wife. What's more, you are the prince! Your marriage is a state matter and cannot be willful!"

A complex look flashed in the prince's eyes, and he gently released the little fox's tail...
