Fortunate Young Gentleman

Prince Duan's Mansion.

Prince Duan sat on the chair dejectedly, like an eggplant hit by frost. He had not been involved in state affairs for a long time. He finally came out of retirement, but ended up like this, making him lose face in front of all the officials.

The imperial edict from the palace clearly stated that from today on, he was not allowed to interfere in state affairs. As for when it would end, the imperial edict did not say.

That was to prohibit him from participating in politics indefinitely.

Prince Duan could understand the meaning of the imperial edict. It was nothing more than that his father disliked him for not being able to accomplish things, but for causing troubles, and for causing troubles for students in Jiangnan and dignitaries in Beijing.

Prince Duan's depression at this moment could not be described in words.

These troubles were originally caused by Prince Huai. He spent so much effort, but he only snatched two black pots from Prince Huai. This was a case of losing more than the wife and losing the army.

Now he has taken the blame, and the power has returned to the hands of King Huai, which has also made his father more dissatisfied with him. No matter how you look at it, he has suffered a great loss.

He regretted not listening to the Tang family at this moment. As long as he did nothing, nothing would go wrong...

But he was really worried that Tang Ning would assist King Huai. If Tang Ning turned to King Huai, how could he stay in the palace and do nothing at ease?

Prince Duan was tormented and tangled in his heart. He held his head and scratched his hair unconsciously. He actually pulled off a lot of hair.

Prince Duan was stunned, and stretched out his hand to scratch again, and more hair fell off his head.

His body trembled, his face pale, and he immediately said: "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

When the news that Prince Duan's hair fell out because of excessive worry reached the palace of Prince Kang, Prince Kang almost laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"I am dying of laughter. How nice it would be to be his tortoise, but he had to jump out to help Zhao Rui take the blame. I have never seen such a stupid person..."

"Such a stupid person, but my father actually wants to pass the throne to him. Isn't he afraid that Chen will be defeated by him?"

"I am so worried that my hair has fallen off. Haha, a bald emperor, it is simply unheard of..."

At the same time, in the Huaiwang Mansion.

The Huaiwang accompanied the Huaiwang Consort to walk in the garden. At a certain moment, the Huaiwang Consort tilted her head and looked at him and asked: "Your Highness was worried about the students in Jiangnan and the dignitaries in Beijing a few days ago. Has it been resolved now?"

The Huaiwang smiled and said: "It has been resolved."

The Huaiwang Consort showed curiosity on her face and said: "Didn't your Highness say before that this matter would offend the students and dignitaries if he went forward, and would make His Majesty dissatisfied if he retreated. It was a dilemma. How did it get resolved so quickly?"

The Huaiwang raised his head and smiled: "Maybe it's just luck..."

...

The Duanwang was silent for a long time. He jumped out for a few days and was kicked out of the court by the Chen Emperor again.

Prince Duan has a magical ability, that is, the ability to mess things up. In the past few days, Jiangnan students and gentry and dignitaries almost quarreled with the entire capital. Emperor Chen had no choice but to choose to appease them first, temporarily not to change the imperial examination quota, and the tax reform was also postponed indefinitely.

Prince Duan is trying to prove to Emperor Chen and the court officials that he has no talent or virtue, and there is nothing he can't mess up. When he becomes emperor, there will be more such things.

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue in surprise and asked, "You said that compared with Prince Huai, Prince Duan is obviously far inferior. Why did Your Majesty recognize Prince Duan?"

Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Prince Huai's mother, Concubine Yang, is just a commoner woman. Prince Huai is born of a commoner woman. His identity is different from other princes and he will never become an emperor."

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "The Tang family is now He is also a commoner. "

"That's different." Xiao Jue explained, "The Tang family has a deep foundation. As long as your majesty favors, it can be revived at any time. When your majesty was still the prince, you met Yang Fei, the mother of the prince. She has no identity or background..."

"I see." Tang Ning shook his head gently and said, "I remember that when your majesty was still the prince, he already had several concubines. I didn't expect that he would not even let go of common women. There is no one more lustful than him in the whole capital..."

Xiao Jue looked at him and said nothing.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What does your eyes mean?"

Xiao Jue looked away and said, "Nothing..."

...

Tang Ning was not very satisfied with Xiao Jue's performance in recent days, especially his eyes. He used the same eyes when he said he was a beast last time.

Since the last time there were ears outside the wall, Xiao Jue liked to use his eyes to convey information, reflecting his growing desire to survive. In this way, Tang Ning had no effective way to retaliate except to beat him up.

After Prince Duan took the blame, the number of impeachment memorials from the Ministry of Shangshu finally decreased, and Tang Ning's work became much easier.

If the work intensity was that high every day, he would be as worried as Prince Duan, and his hair would fall out.

Although officials in the State of Chen had to get up very early in the morning, they were dismissed at 3 pm, which was equivalent to 3 pm in later generations. After the dismissal, the government did not restrict the freedom of officials.

He did not go home after the dismissal today.

Before leaving home in the morning, Xiaoyi told him that they were playing in a garden in the capital today, and asked him to go there directly after the dismissal.

The garden was Zhao Man's garden, which was given to her by Emperor Chen some time ago. No outsiders would enter on weekdays.

When Tang Ning came to the yard, she realized that they had arranged it very beautifully. There was a large lawn in the garden, and there was a pavilion in the middle of the lawn. The pavilion was filled with fruit plates and delicacies. Before Tang Ning walked over, she smelled a fragrance. .

"You're here..." Zhao Man ran over from a distance, jumped up and hung on him.

This garden is her private garden. They are the only ones in the garden, so they are not afraid of this.

Tangning picked her up and spun her around. Zhao Man covered her waist, giggled, got off him, and said, "Go over there, the sisters are all there..."

…

Outside the park, a carriage slowly stopped, and a figure stepped down from it.

Emperor Chen looked at the guard at the door, looked at Wei Jian behind him, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wei Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you rewarded Princess Pingyang with this garden last time?"

Chen Huang was stunned for a moment, and after recalling it for a while, he finally remembered that such a thing really happened, and said, "I really forgot..."

Wei Jian looked at the guard at the door and said, "It looks like the princess is inside today."

Several guards at the door had already knelt down, and one of them said: "Your Majesty, I will inform the princess right now..."

"No need." Chen Huang waved his hand and said, "I'm just strolling around."

After saying that, he stepped in.

Entering the garden, he looked around and said, "Pingyang has done a good job of repairing this garden."

When he was about to pass through a small forest, a woman's laughter came from the front. Chen Huang looked over and said, "There seem to be a lot of people over there..."

Wei Jian looked up and said, "Your Majesty, those seem to be Mr. Tang's wives. The princess has a close relationship with them on weekdays. They should have gone out to play together today."

Chen Huang took a few steps forward, then paused. He looked back at Wei Jian and said, "You know everything. Why don't you explain to me why Pingyang is lying in Tangning's arms?"
