2515 Just Put Up with It
“Then will Your Majesty please confer a vassal territory for this younger brother to retire and return to with his family, wuwuwuwu.” The old Vassal King of Jianping wailed with tears streaming down his cheeks.
The Divine Province Emperor was feeling sheepish.
He naturally already learned about his son giving the Vassal King of Jianping’s eldest son, Mo Zhuang, a good beating.
He couldn’t just continue to feign ignorance now that the Vassal King of Jianping had come to cry in front of him.
“Cough.” The Divine Province Emperor coughed lightly. “Mo Lian, this child, is indeed a bit too insensible, but he, uh, after such a tiring journey, was probably, uhm, not in a good mood.”
The Vassal King of Jianping: …
“Jianping, don’t lower yourself to his level.”
The Vassal King of Jianping promptly became angry. “Your Majesty, it is the crown prince who is unwilling to let my Zhuang’er off right now!
“Besides, putting aside Zhuang’er’s incident, His Highness the Crown Prince also beat up my youngest son Mo Kun back in the Shuntian Prefecture! Your Majesty, I really want to ask what enmity the crown prince harbors towards me, his uncle. How come he likes to beat up my sons!”
The Divine Province Emperor: …
“Your Majesty, you must exercise your judgment on behalf of this younger brother!” The Vassal King of Jianping sorrowfully wiped his tears as he sat on the floor.
The Divine Province Emperor had a terrible headache. He flicked his sleeves and called out, “Hu Dequan.”
Eunuch Hu immediately jogged into the imperial study and saluted deferentially. “Your Majesty.”
“Go make a trip to the Eastern Palace and request for the crown prince to come over.”
Hu Dequan: …
The sky had already darkened by now!
Would he get driven out with a beating if he went to the Eastern Palace to request for His Highness the Crown Prince?
When the emperor saw Hu Dequan just standing there dumbly without moving, he couldn’t help but exclaim angrily, “You’re still not going?”
Eunuch Hu gave a shudder and hastily acknowledged the order. He dared not hesitate and used spiritual energy to travel through the air. He soon arrived at the Eastern Palace.
Mo Lian and Qiao Mu had just moved in today, so the entire Eastern Palace was still busying about.
The master of the Eastern Palace had not returned for more than a decade. Even though there were people tidying the Eastern Palace every day, it still lacked the presence of its master.
The master had finally come back at long last and had even brought back a crown prince consort. Two masters were moving into the Eastern Palace at once. Hence, everyone had their hands full just from transferring personnel and getting the crown prince and crown prince consorts’ bedchamber ready.
Zhao Tengdong, who was in charge of the Eastern Palace’s internal affairs, had a protruding belly. He was there busy giving out orders.
Palace Lady Jing stood composedly to the side and would occasionally speak to the junior royal maids who came to report to her.
Both of them were startled when they saw Hu Dequan running inside.
Zhao Tengdong walked over and asked with a smile, “Eunuch Hu has business with me?”
“Shoo shoo shoo, what business would I have with you? Quick, quickly go and request for His Highness. His Majesty is summoning him.”
Zhao Tengdong quickly asked, “What is the matter? Why is the emperor summoning His Highness so urgently?”
Hu Dequan hoped to be on friendly terms with the crown prince, so he hastily divulged in a low voice, “The Vassal King of Jianping has lodged an appeal directly to the emperor.”
“Your Highness!” Zhao Tengdong strode to the door of the bedchamber. He bowed and reported, “The emperor is summoning you urgently.”
“Hu Dequan, go back and tell him that I don’t want to see him until he yields and acknowledges my wife. Scram!”
Hu Dequan: …
He really wanted to break down on the inside!
If Gong Chang’an, the personal old eunuch of the Mo Kingdom’s old king, were here, he would definitely laugh heartily. He would then pat Hu Dequan’s shoulder and say with sympathy: ‘This isn’t the first time Our Highness has been so willful. Just put up with it!’
