The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 290 Aunt Huaye

Then let the water here be a little more muddy.

Because the queen returned to the palace, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince did not pay their respects to her in time, which angered His Majesty, who dragged them to the imperial study and scolded them one by one.

"How can such an unfilial and unfraternal person shoulder such a great responsibility?!!!"

The three princes were so frightened that they knelt in the imperial study and dared not stand up. "Father, please calm down. This is all your fault."

The Fourth Prince was lying on the ground crying. There was a hint of stubbornness in the eyes of the Fifth Prince. He wanted to explain something, but was glared back at by the Fourth Prince who was lying on the ground.

Talk less. You may not be afraid of me, but I am. If you dare to contradict my father, don't even think about leaving the imperial study today.

The fifth prince shut up, his face full of stubbornness.

He had heard enough of the ideas instilled in him by his mother since he was a child. His father's position would be his in the future, so what right did his father have to say that to him?

As for the queen mother, how could a woman who had lived in the palace for many years be the mother of a country?

The position of the Mother of the Nation should be...

The second prince knelt on the ground, saying nothing.

He was the eldest of the three brothers and could not do something as shameless as the fourth prince. When he heard the words "unfilial and unbrotherly", he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

It was a time to be thankful that all three of them were there, otherwise, based on these four words, that position would probably be...

He looked around calmly and found that there was no palace servant around, which was good.

He breathed a sigh of relief and put on an expression of grief and regret.

The second prince loves to save face and has a very good reputation.

The Emperor of Chu was extremely angry and secretly observed his three sons in front of him. He saw their expressions.

"Kneel down. You can only get up when your mother sends you a message."

The Emperor of Chu took up his pen and began to review memorials.

Hearing the words of Emperor Chu, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince both breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen has just returned to the palace, so she certainly wouldn't dare to offend them. Besides, she has her mother with her, so she will surely be able to go back soon.

The second prince's expression became a little strange. Looking at his two younger brothers who seemed somewhat relieved, he began to silently think about his knees. He thought that he would need to take care of them for several days after returning.

They waited and waited, until it was getting dark and the lights were coming on, but no palace maid brought in any news.

The fifth prince gently placed his buttocks on his legs, wanting to take a rest.

"cough!"

Xiao Degui pretended to cough.

The fifth prince was so frightened that he knelt down immediately and began to curse the eunuch in his heart.

Seeing the Fifth Prince's unhappy expression, Xiao Degui could guess without knowing that the Fifth Prince must be cursing him in his heart.

Xiao Degui snorted in his heart. His Majesty's words are the imperial decree, and no one can find loopholes under his nose.

As for offending the prince? Xiao Degui was even less afraid.

When the Emperor of Chu passes away, he will follow His Majesty and continue to serve His Majesty in the underworld.

Therefore, Xiao Degui was not afraid of these so-called princes at all, and the Emperor of Chu favored him even more because of this.

The Emperor of Chu raised his eyelids and sneered in his heart.

Just wait and see how powerful the queen is.

You little bastard, I guess you were dreaming of something beautiful before.

Looking at his three sons, the Emperor of Chu sighed inwardly, thinking that none of them was anything to show off.

Even if it was to test his attitude, this method shouldn't be used. Perhaps we were both hoping for a lucky break, that if you didn't go, I wouldn't go either.

But the queen is the queen, the queen for life, and the Emperor of Chu always knew this in his heart.

When the moon slowly rose and hung in the middle of the sky, an imperial decree came from the harem.

An older nanny came in and bowed slightly when she saw the Emperor of Chu.

Emperor Chu stood up in surprise, "Madam Hua'e, why are you here?"

Hua'e was the queen's former nanny. The queen only brought her with her when she went to the palace.

She is sixty-three now.

Aunt Huaye looked even older, with her back a little bent.

"Your Majesty, this old servant will take your place."

The King of Chu lifted the pearl curtain and saw the three people with sweaty faces. He turned around and said gently, "Madam, please come in. I wonder if the Queen has any words to teach these three unfilial sons."

Nanny Hua'e always had a smile on her face. She looked at the three kneeling princes and stood aside slightly sideways.

"Her Majesty sent this old servant to bring back the three princes. Their failure to raise and educate them is their fault, and ultimately, it's her fault. While the princes were being punished, Her Majesty also knelt before the Buddha and copied the 'Tao Te Ching'. Her Majesty feels sorry for the princes, especially the Fifth Prince, who is still growing and must not be tired, so she sent them back first. As for the remaining punishments..."

Nanny Hua'e looked at Emperor Chu and bowed.

"The Queen Mother said that she should suffer as a mother and take the blame for the princes."

"How does this work?"

The second prince spoke first.

He looked at Aunt Huaye with tears in his eyes.

"Aunt Huaye, it's me. Do you remember?"

Nanny Hua'e looked over and saw the second prince, who had already grown up.

When the Empress left the capital, he was about the same age as the Fifth Prince.

"It's the Second Prince. How could this old servant forget you?"

The second prince cried with joy. "It's my fault. I was so busy with trivial matters that I couldn't go to visit my mother in the palace right away. I asked the nanny to tell her that when she calms down, I will personally hand in a sign to the palace and apologize to her. As for going back, how can I let my mother take over? Father, please let me continue to kneel."

The second prince was crying and looked extremely sad. He beat his chest from time to time to express how upset he was.

The Fourth Prince was a beat late and the Second Prince had already finished speaking.

Seeing that the Second Prince seemed familiar with the old nanny, the Fourth Prince remembered that his second brother had been raised by the Queen.

No wonder he is sometimes crazy stupid, and sometimes does superficial work better than anyone else.

He had inquired about all sorts of trivial matters, but he just said he was going out but didn't go out in the end.

"I won't get up. As a son, how can I let my mother suffer?"

The Fourth Prince also acted as if he would not get up, and the Fifth Prince, who originally wanted to get up, was caught in a dilemma.

He knew in his heart that he should stay, after all, his two brothers were still kneeling.

But secretly, he had wanted to leave a long time ago.

He had never knelt for such a long time since he was a child, and he could not hold on any longer. Besides, a queen without any foundation was nothing except a little respect from her father.

But he still wants to have some reputation after all, and he doesn't want to be labeled as unfilial in the future.

"I won't leave either."

The Fifth Prince spoke in a low voice, with his head lowered and his expression restrained, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"You are the Fifth Prince, right?"

Nanny Hua'e looked at the youngest one, the fifth prince who had just spoken.

The fifth prince looked up, somewhat puzzled.
