Once the decree came out, the entire capital was shaken. In an instant, there was an endless stream of people who came to the inn to visit Prince Ding. It was as if a scene of Prince Ding fu being revived had appeared in front of her eyes. Of course, no one thought that Prince Ding would not be able to defeat Prince Li, nor did they think that Prince Ding did not even plan to participate in this battle. The nobles who had already boarded the Prince Li Manor or the Liu Family's ship could not help but complain in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. It was easy to get on the ship, but hard to get off. It was too late to regret.
At this time, in the Imperial Palace, the Empress was sitting on a phoenix chair, frowning as she listened to the Sixth Prince angrily complain about the grievances he had suffered. Looking at the angry and resentful child in front of her, the Empress shook her head in disappointment. Beside her, Consort Zheng Xian was also disappointed. When she heard Mo Ruiyun clamoring for Imperial Father to punish them, she could not help but slap him.
The Sixth Prince was stunned by this sudden slap. He touched his face and looked at Consort Zheng Xian in a daze, unable to say anything. The Empress sighed and softly said, "What's the use of hitting him now?" All these years, she had been grounded in the palace, and the power of the harem had fallen into the hands of Consort Liu. Consort Liu was the reason why the Sixth Prince had been taught this way, but Consort Zheng Xian, as his mother, had also neglected her duty. Even she, the Empress, was …
"Imperial Mother, why did you hit me?" The Sixth Prince finally recovered and angrily asked Consort Zheng Xian. He had clearly been wronged outside. It was fine if Imperial Mother did not help him vent his anger, but she actually hit him? How could Mo Ruiyun, who had always been pampered, endure this? Seeing that her son did not seem to understand her intentions, Consort Zheng Xian could not help but burst into tears. She threw herself into a chair and cried bitterly. Seeing Imperial Mother like this, Mo Ruiyun pouted and muttered, "Since Imperial Mother does not help son vent his anger, son will go find Imperial Father. Imperial Father likes me, so he will definitely help me! I will catch that brat from the Prince Ding Mansion and beat him up. I will make him my servant! "
"Shut up!" Consort Zheng Xian was so scared that her face turned pale. She pulled Mo Ruiyun and said, "Prince Ding is an elder. In terms of seniority, even that Prince Ding is a generation older than you. You just have to listen to what they say and remember it. Don't speak nonsense. "How could Mo Ruiyun be willing to listen? He said unhappily," I'm a prince. Why should I listen to them? I must make Imperial Father punish them severely! "After saying that, she pushed Zheng Xian Fei's hand away and ran out. Seeing this, the Empress, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, slammed the table and said sternly, "Stop the Sixth Prince!"
Since the Sixth Prince was stopped, he was naturally furious and threatened to kill these eunuchs and palace maids. The Empress stared at him and said coldly, "I was the one who wanted to stop you. Are you going to kill I too?! Take him away and keep an eye on the Sixth Prince. If he runs out, you will be held accountable! " Mo Ruiyun was still a bit afraid of this di mother that he had only seen a few times. Seeing that the Empress was truly angry, he didn't dare to cause trouble and obediently went to the inner hall.
The Empress rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Zheng Xian Fei, saying, "Don't cry. Prince Ding won't argue with an ignorant child. Now that you have seen it clearly, is Ruiyun suitable for that position? "
Zheng Xian Fei was a bit embarrassed and stopped crying. She came from a small family. Knowing that her son had a chance to ascend the throne, she would become the Empress Dowager. How could she not be moved? But now, seeing her son's ignorant appearance, she had been in the palace for so many years and had some experience. Leaving the palace once, he had offended the entire Prince Ding Mansion. He didn't know what was important and what was not. Even if he ascended the throne, he wouldn't be able to sit for more than a few days before being harmed.
"Wuwu … … It's all because of that slut! That slut led my son astray. Wuwu … … Empress, you have to make a decision for this concubine … … "Zheng Xian Fei's heart was filled with hatred for Noble Consort Liu. These years, the Emperor had doted on Noble Consort Liu and had given her the entire harem. As the birth mother of a prince, she could only see her son twice a year. Now that her son had been taught to be like this, her dream of becoming the Empress Dowager was shattered. How could she not hate Noble Consort Liu?
The Empress impatiently waved her hand and said, "Enough. What's the use of saying this now?" Regarding Mo Jingqi's suggestion, the Empress had completely suppressed it. With the Sixth Prince's character, what could he teach? She could sacrifice herself for the imperial family because she was the Empress. She was married to Mo Jingqi. But she couldn't sacrifice the Hua Family for the imperial family and Mo Jingqi. The Hua Family had done enough for the Da Chu State … …
"This concubine knows her wrongs." Zheng Xian Fei wiped her tears and knelt on the ground, "This concubine doesn't ask for my son to have any great achievements. I only ask that he be safe. He's not sensible. It's all my fault for not befriending him. I beg Empress to plead with Prince Ding on behalf of this concubine and ask him to forgive my son. "
"You can get up." The Empress sighed, "I said before that although Prince Ding isn't a magnanimous person, he won't get angry over an insensible child. If I can see Princess Ding later, I will tell her. But Ruiyun, you really need to teach him well. Don't mention the imperial family, it's a taboo even in a normal family. "
Zheng Xian Fei quickly thanked her and promised to teach the Sixth Prince well. After bidding farewell, the Empress went to the rear hall to pick up the Sixth Prince. Looking at her departing figure, the Empress sighed softly. How long could she be the Empress? Zheng Xian Fei? Whether or not the Empress could teach the Sixth Prince well had nothing to do with her. Forget it … … At least her Wuyou was living peacefully in the northwest. This was very good … …
The eunuch who had followed Mo Ruiyun to deliver the edict returned to the palace to report that Mo Xiuyao had refused to accept the edict. Mo Jingqi was silent for a long time before he weakly waved his hand to have the eunuch leave. The eunuch who had delivered the edict seemed to have been pardoned and quickly left. The moment he turned to close the door, he saw the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne with a never before seen savagery and madness in his gloomy eyes. His heart trembled and he quickly closed the door.
With the Emperor's edict, the subordinates were very efficient. The original Prince Ding Mansion had only been sealed up. Because of the influence the Prince Ding Mansion had on the Da Chu State, Mo Jingqi did not dare to use the mansion for other purposes in a short period of time. So after the mansion was reopened, the people needed to clean it up again. Two days later, they came to report to Mo Xiuyao and ask Prince Ding and Wang Fei to move back to the Wang Fu.
Mo Xiuyao naturally would not be polite. This Wang Fu was the foundation of the Prince Ding Mansion's ancestors. It was also where the Prince Ding lived for the past two hundred years. When they had first settled in the northwest and given up on the Prince Ding Mansion, Mo Xiuyao still had people secretly take care of this place. So even after six or seven years, the entire Wang Fu was still very well preserved. When the family of three officially moved into Ding Palace, the number of people who came to pay their respects naturally increased. This proved that the previous imperial edict was not false. The Prince Ding Mansion was really going to return to the Da Chu State and Jing.
