In the imperial study room, Emperor Chengde just yelled at Yan Jingze to go away when the crown prince came in.
The crown prince was startled when he saw the inkstone hit the ground and a corner broke.
He suddenly found that…emperor father was very kind to him.
At least he has never thrown something that can kill people at him.
Of course, he is not as annoying as his fifth brother.
The crown prince was just calming down, when he heard his father say a phrase he had heard several times and was very familiar with: “You don’t know how to control your brother!”
Crown prince: “…” Emperor father, even you can’t control him, how can I control him?
However……
The crown prince and Emperor Chengde looked at each other, suddenly a little sympathetic to each other.
The three say a few more words, then Emperor Chengde asked the crown prince to take Yan Jingze away and asked them to call Su Moxiu in.
“Can I come in together?” Yan Jingze asked.
“No.” Emperor Chengde said.
Yan Jingze sighed and could only leave.
He was actually not worried about Su Moxiu.
Su Moxiu is a stable person that does not match his age, he will never anger Emperor Chengde like him.
Of course, when Su Moxiu went in, he would have to wait outside.
Yan Jingze and the crown prince came to the side hall and saw Su Moxiu talking to AFu.
Yan JingZe doesn’t like AFu very much – this kid doesn’t like him, he can feel it.
“Ziyan, emperor father told you to go over.” Yan Jingze looked at Su Moxiu, then said, “Why are you talking to this child? This child is very rowdy.”
“I just have a little talk with the little imperial grandson.” Su Moxiu laughed.
When going to morning court before, Yan Jingze was a little far away from Su Moxiu, so he didn’t see Su Moxiu, then he was called away by Emperor Chengde immediately after the morning court.
Only now did he see Su Moxiu’s appearance clearly. He immediately said: “Are you feeling unwell? Then, don’t go to see emperor father, go back and rest!”
“Your highness is joking…I’m going to see his majesty right now.” Su Moxiu said, then walked towards the imperial study.
Seeing this, Yan Jingze hurriedly followed Su Moxiu.
AFu was stunned.
His fifth imperial uncle passed away very early, so he didn’t get along with him much, but in his impression, his fifth imperial uncle was gloomy all day long, with a look that found everyone displeased, how could he be so lively?
When his fifth imperial uncle was young, was he like this?
No, this should be his disguise!
His fifth imperial uncle is the best at acting. Before his father passed away, he still thought he was good, so he gave him all his manpower…
But in fact, his fifth imperial uncle has been aiming for the throne from the very beginning. He hid in the dark, provoking everywhere, and came out when his father and other imperial uncles were rejected by his imperial grandfather.
Thinking of being oppressed by his empress grandmother for many years after he ascended the throne, the resentment in AFu’s heart couldn’t dissipate no matter what.
Su Moxiu entered the imperial study room and knelt down to greet.
“Get up, there is no need to be so polite.” Emperor Chengde talked to Su Moxiu with a smile, then asked about Su Moxiu’s recent situation with the same attitude as before.
Su Moxiu answered one by one.
Emperor Chengde asked about Cai Tinghe’s case again, and Su Moxiu also answered fluently.
After all, he followed the fifth prince all the way, so he is very familiar with the whole case handling process.
“Not bad!” Emperor Chengde praised Su Moxiu, and then turned to talk with Su Moxiu.
While talking, Emperor Chengde said: “Your family has a lot of things going on this year. First is your adulthood ceremony, followed by your younger sister’s maturity1So the word here is something like the girl reaching a marriageable age (15 years old).. In half a month, it will be your father’s 60th birthday, right? Do you want to do something big?”
“Yes.” Su Moxiu said, “Before, when it was my adulthood ceremony and my younger sister’s maturity, we only invited relatives in the family. This time when my father celebrates his birthday, we will invite more people.”
His father’s birthday, their family has already started to deal with it.
His father previously thought about taking advantage of the crowds during his birthday for them to see and choose a good marriage.
But now, the only one who needs to choose a marriage partner is his sister.
As for him…He planned to wait until his father’s birthday passed, then make a mistake and let his father kick him out of the family.
“When your father celebrates his birthday, I’ll go for a drink.” Emperor Chengde said.
“Thank you, your majesty, for your kindness!” Su Moxiu hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Emperor Chengde said a few more words, then suddenly asked about Su Moxiu’s sister.
Su Moxiu was startled, but still answered truthfully.
Emperor Chengde said: “Old fifth is not young anymore, but he never had a wangfei, truly outrageous…” He didn’t continue, but combined with the previous words, it was clear that he wanted Su Moxiu’s sister to be the wangfei.
Su Moxiu had been prepared for a long time, so he controlled his expression very well: “The fifth prince proficient in both literature and martial arts, it’s just that the time has not arrived.”
When Emperor Chengde was talking to Su Moxiu, he was also observing Su Moxiu.
If Su Moxiu was in love with his son, or if he was interested in his son, he would definitely reveal something.
But Su Moxiu has always been the same, it’s clear that he has no thought about his son at all.
Emperor Chengde couldn’t tell what mood he was in.
Seeing that Su Moxiu looked unwell today…Emperor Chengde thought of his son’s determination to win this man, so he asked a few more questions.
Su Moxiu said: “I didn’t sleep well a few days ago, I went to the lake with his highness the fifth prince yesterday and accidentally fell into the water, so I don’t feel very comfortable today.”
It turned out to be like this…Emperor Chengde didn’t keep Su Moxiu, and asked Su Moxiu to go back to rest.
After Su Moxiu left, Emperor Chengde asked someone about what happened yesterday, and then he learned that his fifth son insisted on going rowing with Su Moxiu. When he was rowing, Su Moxiu suddenly fell into the river for some reason, then he also suddenly jumped down…
Did his son deliberately get Su Moxiu off the boat so as to ‘save the beauty’?
Maybe he wants to take advantage of Su Moxiu.
However, according to the people he put next to his fifth son, Su Moxiu sat in the stern of the boat and didn’t enter the cabin…His son probably didn’t succeed.
Thinking about it, if his son really succeeds, Su Moxiu will not remain so calm.
Su Moxiu left the imperial study room and told Yan Jingze that he was unwell and wanted to go home to rest.
Yan Jingze could only send him home, and then left in dismay.
If he followed in, the entire Su family would come out to greet him, Su Moxiu might not be able to rest well…
After Su Moxiu returned home, he didn’t go to rest right away. He first went to his father and told what Emperor Chengde said.
Su Gu’s face changed, and then he looked at his son again: “The fifth prince takes a fancy to your sister, what do you think?”
“Father, you won’t marry little sister to the fifth prince…will you?” Su Moxiu asked.
Su Gu really didn’t want to marry his daughter to the fifth prince.
He only has this daughter, who he loved pampered a thousand times. If he had learned that the fifth prince was interested a year ago, he might have agreed, but now, he does not agree.
The crown prince’s position is unstable and the fifth prince is unwilling to be an ‘idle king’…he can’t let his daughter get involved.
He couldn’t even bear to let his daughter go, and now that his son is even head over heels, he was even more unhappy.
Su Gu asked: “Do you really persist in going about things the wrong way?”
“Yes.” Su Moxiu said.
Su Gu suddenly called out to the servants outside: “Come here! Take the young master back to his room, don’t allow him to come out, let him recuperate at home!”
Having raised such a good son for so many years, Su Gu really didn’t want him to go down such a path.
Su Moxiu is going to face the emperor today, so he didn’t do anything yesterday, but starting tomorrow…His youngest son will be recuperating at home because of physical discomfort!
Su Gu didn’t know how his youngest son became like this, but he wanted to try to separate his youngest son from the fifth prince to see if his youngest son could wake up.
The servants came in soon and wanted to take Su Moxiu back to his room to ‘recuperate’.
Su Moxiu had a premonition but he did not resist.
He’s exhausted, it doesn’t hurt to take a few days off.
In any case, on the day his father celebrates his birthday, he will definitely be released.
He knows his father.
And this half a month…He can also think carefully about his future.
Su Moxiu was sick, he was even seriously ill, so he couldn’t even work in the Ministry of Justice.
When Yan Jingze learned about this, he was so anxious that he left the affairs of the Ministry of Justice and went to Su’s house, wanting to visit the sick.
As a result, Su Gu kept saying that he was afraid that Su Moxiu would infect him with the illness, so he refused to let him see Su Moxiu.
Yan Jingze: “…” He is really not afraid of being infected! He only wanted to see Su Moxiu!
It’s just…Su Gu doesn’t know about his relationship with Su Moxiu yet. If he is too obvious, Su Gu might know about it…Maybe Su Gu will feed Su Moxiu medicine!
In addition, Su Gu was Su Moxiu’s father after all, Yan Jingze didn’t dare to force his way, so he had to return in vain.
Su Gu already really disliked him, if he persisted, Su Gu would definitely dislike him even more.
Su Gu has disliked him for half a month now, he knows this and can also guess the reason.
Su Gu probably felt that…he wanted to win over the Su family and make the Su family work for him.
In all honesty, he really didn’t have such an idea!
He is only interested in Su Moxiu!
Yan Jingze never saw Su Moxiu. He wanted to climb the wall, but he didn’t know the layout of Su’s house, so what if he accidentally climbed the wrong way?
Even if he climbs into the right way, what if someone finds out?
He hasn’t convinced Emperor Chengde yet, if some messy rumors come out…it will definitely have an impact on Su Moxiu.
The longer Yan Jingze has been in this world, the more he understands this world.
He doesn’t want the person he likes to be hurt even a little bit.
Forget it, anyway, on Su Gu’s birthday, he will definitely see Su Moxiu. He is not in a hurry for a day or two.
Now…he will grind Emperor Chengde again, make Emperor Chengde agree to his and Su Moxiu’s matter sooner!
1So the word here is something like the girl reaching a marriageable age (15 years old).
