Chapter 288: A Bad Wall (4)

"You don't have to be like this, cousin," the prince said hastily, "my cousin-in-law is not here, so I can have a few words with you, and there is no need to call my cousin-in-law back."

"If it was someone else, I wouldn't bother calling," Ban Hua chuckled, "You are his cousin, and there is no reason why your brother-in-law is not present when a distinguished guest comes to visit."

"Seeing that you are used to living in the Hou's mansion, I am relieved." Seeing that Ban Hua spoke with confidence, the smile on the prince's face was also a little sincere, "I was worried that you and Cheng Anhou would not get along well. Come on, I'm worrying in vain."

He has regrets in his heart. When Huahua got married, he was still imprisoned in the East Palace, and he couldn't even send a blessing in person.

"How can this be nothing to worry about? You are my backer. If he bullies me, you still have to help me vent my anger." Banhua said confidently, "You won't help him then, will you?"

"Of course it's for you."

The two cousins ​​were talking about some homework, and the officials of the East Palace who were sitting by the side were secretly anxious. The prince and Princess Fule had such a good relationship, why didn't he write something from Princess Fule, and then let Princess Fule report to Marquis Cheng An? Just blow your ears and the wind, won't things be done?

After half an hour, Rong Xia came back, and he pleaded guilty to the prince as soon as he entered the door.

"Jun Po, don't be too polite." The prince stretched out his hand to support him, and didn't let him finish the ceremony. "I took the liberty to visit and disturb you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your tolerance." Rong Xia sat down beside Ban Hua, and gave Ban Hua a gentle smile.

Ban Hua ticked his fingers, then stood up and said, "Brother Prince, you talk, I'll ask my servants to prepare dinner."

After Ban Hua left, the smile on Rong Xia's face faded a bit: "Your Highness, if you still come here for court matters this time, please forgive me for not agreeing."

"Jumper..."

"Your Highness," Rong Xia stood up and bowed to the prince, "I just got married to the princess, and it's time to cultivate our relationship. I really can't bear to part with her."

The prince fell silent, he didn't need to care about anything else, but he had to care about his cousin's affairs.

After a while, he spoke again: "I know it's difficult for you to return to court now, but Daye needs you, and the people of Daye need you." He stood up and bowed deeply to Rong Xia , "Cousin, I will personally apologize to her, but ask Lord Hou to help me."

"His Royal Highness!" The East Palace official looked at the crown prince in horror, how could he salute the courtiers, the heir apparent of a country.

Rong Xia stood up and returned the big gift to the prince: "Your Highness, I have something to remind you."

The prince stood up and looked at Rong Xia with a gentle expression: "Master Hou, please tell me."

"Your Majesty is weak, and King Ning is watching. Even if you have the heart, there are many things in the court, but you can only be powerless."

The prince was stunned when he heard the words, it wasn't that he didn't know, he just pretended not to know, and the people around him didn't dare to mention this matter to him.

"How could I not know," the prince smiled wryly, "I just want to be ashamed of myself."

Rong Xia didn't speak, the prince is a good man, but he is not a good emperor. If he were the crown prince, he would control King Ning at this time, and take this opportunity to take control of the power in the court and emptied the emperor's power, turning these unfavorable conditions into advantages.

But the prince is too filial, too loyal, too gentle.

How can such a person be able to suppress the big and small affairs of the court? It's just wishful thinking.

"If the prince has the heart, why not allocate funds to the disaster-stricken areas first and exempt them from taxes for two years, so as to appease the hearts of the people?" Rong Xia looked at the prince sharply, "Of course, a better way is to punish King Ning and let the people of the world I can see the sincerity of the imperial court."

"But he...is my younger brother after all," the crown prince said in disbelief, "if he is dealt with, the emperor father and the empress will also feel sad."

Rong Xia's face became even more indifferent: "Since the crown prince knows all about this, what are you going to do with this humble official?"

A puddle of mud that can't support the wall, but he has to help it, and he is not a god.

Even a god, he doesn't want to get stuck in the mud with his hands.

What he wants is not a bad wall.
