King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

"educate?"

"Let Zhanji learn a lesson?"

"Education is a good education. No one will say that you are wrong or not."

"But why do you hit people?"

"Such a heavy hand"

"As for taking such a heavy blow?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly, shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashed across his expression, and responded:

"The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred."

"Our son will be a man of great things in the future. His every move will affect the whole world and the lives and livelihoods of tens of thousands of people."

"Although we don't say that he must become a wise ruler of a prosperous era, we definitely don't want to see him recorded in history books, criticized by future generations, and become a negative example for others to scorn and educate their children."

"to this end."

"Faced with this problem, I really cannot and dare not be like you as a mother and show even the slightest bit of compassion."

"If we have even the slightest bit of softness, it's not just not loving him, it's not really caring for him, it's actually us as parents harming him, harming our own son."

After hearing this, she knew that this was the truth, but the Crown Princess didn't know why, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart. She always felt that the Crown Prince, although seemingly making sense to her, was actually beating around the bush and taking this opportunity to deliberately scold her and disgust her.

The woman's kindness has come out
I'm afraid it's just a matter of time before she is asked what she, a woman, knows!

Of course, there is also the possibility that she attributed Zhu Zhanji's bad habit of idleness and unreliable behavior to her kindness and care for Zhu Zhanji over the years, and almost put all the current blame on her.

to this end.

Now that he knew that the prince was speaking reasonably, he could not help but get angry. He suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was full of sarcasm. He stared coldly at Zhu Gaochi and said in a deep voice:
"Yes Yes Yes"

"Your Highness is the one who understands the current situation best. Your Highness knows everything clearly."

"Your Zhu family."

"Your whole family are people who do great things and accomplish great things."

"Indeed"

"I am a woman who doesn't know how to do anything. Yet I often show so-called womanly kindness, which hinders your family. It really annoys you to see me. I am an eyesore to you and cause you suffering."

"In that case."

"With regard to the current situation, I also deeply understand and know that my own actions were wrong."

"For this reason, I, a woman of modesty and compassion, will not hinder the eyes of those in your family who are doing great things, nor will I hold you back."

"I will tell someone to pack my bags and take away all the useful items in my house. I will go back to Beiping and stay here honestly. I won't be an eyesore, upset or cause you any trouble."

"Go back!"

"You guys can do whatever you want, whatever you want."

"It's not my business, and of course I don't want to care. I'll just do what a proper woman should do."

"My Lord, are you satisfied with my condition here?"

That's what I said.

Listening to what was said before, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

It also made the prince feel extremely comfortable and happy.

After all, the couple has been together for so many years, and it is rare for him to see the Crown Princess lower herself so low in front of him and admit her mistakes so honestly.

For this reason, I thought the Crown Princess had really changed her personality.

The issue is.
After hearing the subsequent words and questions, Zhu Gaochi's original happy smile and joyful mood were instantly shattered. He also realized instantly that he had completely overthought the current situation.

This is not a change of character at all.

This is not true. He has reformed himself and has a deep understanding of his mistakes.

Feelings have been talked about for a long time, and feelings have been tangled with him for a long time.

As for the current matter, someone is actually waiting for him here!
It really hasn't changed at all, still the familiar taste, still the familiar recipe.

This sudden turn of events almost choked Zhu Gaochi to death. He was so angry that he couldn't help but curse loudly in hatred.

As he was thinking, Zhu Gaochi's face, which originally had a slight smile on it, changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His brows were twisted into a knot, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at his Crown Princess with deep meaning, and their eyes met at this moment.

No one spoke.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became quiet, depressing and peaceful at this moment.

The breeze gently blew over the two of them, causing the tents hanging around them to sway gently from time to time.

That's it.

A long time passed.

The prince was the first to withdraw his gaze from him, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression no longer had the face-licking grin he had in the past, nor did he show any sign of admitting his mistakes, or of retreating or giving in. He was still as serious as before, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay!"

"Since my beloved concubine has such thoughts and such a decision."

"It's hard for us to say anything, nor to stop it."

"After all, who doesn't know that in the entire Eastern Palace, we can discipline and control anyone, but internally everyone has to listen to my beloved concubine."

"so."

"Everything, what does my beloved concubine think?"

"We fully agree and approve of this."

"If my beloved concubine insists on doing so"

"That's how things are going to be for now!"

"but."

Having said this, Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, his expression becoming more serious than before, and he continued in a deep voice, saying:

"My beloved concubine can return to Peking."

"But our son, the little fellow Zhanji, absolutely cannot and must not leave Yingtian City even a step."

"There is no room for bargaining on this matter."

That’s all I have to say.

Finish what you need to say.

Zhu Gaochi was too lazy to waste time and words with her. Of course, the most important point here was that he was strong enough at the moment, and did not give the Crown Princess any face or dignity at all, and directly confronted her, based on his understanding of the Crown Princess's character.

I'm afraid that after a while, when she comes to her senses, she will definitely cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself in front of him, and at the same time curse him for being heartless and so on.

to this end.

In order to clear your ears, to make yourself feel a little better, and to not waste time on these little things, the best way and method is to leave, and leave quickly.

As long as you run fast enough, you can avoid all of this.

As for the Crown Princess, would she really be angry, really be angry with him, and run back to Beiping in a hurry, abandoning their entire family?

this problem
There is no need to think too much about it, it is almost impossible to happen.

There is no other reason.

Because of her kindness to Zhu Zhanji, as long as Zhu Zhanji did not leave, the Crown Princess would never return to Beiping alone.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi never took this matter, or the Crown Princess's threat to return to Beiping, to heart, nor did he worry about it too much. In his opinion, these things were not a big deal at all.

For this reason, Zhu Gaochi did not stop for a moment, turned around and walked straight out the door with big strides, without any hesitation or reluctance, showing his manliness to the fullest.

It was also the only time in all the years since they got married that he was so tough in front of the Crown Princess.

That's it.

Accompanied by the prince's departure.

In the entire huge courtyard, the Crown Princess was the only one left, her hair disheveled in the wind. She was completely overwhelmed by this sudden change, and felt a little bit unbelievable and couldn't believe it.

I never imagined in my dreams that Zhu Gaochi could actually say such words.

Not only did he directly retort what she had said, but he also said it so forcefully, leaving her no room for maneuver and no way out for her.

This was not the most amazing thing. What was even more amazing was that after saying these words, he turned around and walked away without any hesitation, leaving her alone in the empty courtyard.

Simply.

It can be said that this is something that has never happened before in all the years that the two have been married. It is definitely the first time in history.

For a moment, the Crown Princess was at a loss as to what to do, or what to do.

For a moment, she really wanted to just leave and do what Zhu Gaochi had just said.

But if you really leave...

Can she walk?
In other words, does she really dare to leave?
It's not that she doesn't want to, it's not that she's unwilling, it's just that she really doesn't dare to do that.

Because once that was done, let’s not even talk about how the prince would react.

For example, what happened in the East Palace today involved so many people. It is obviously impossible and certainly unrealistic to conceal or hide it.

By then, it will surely reach the ears of Emperor Yongle and Empress Xu sitting in the harem.

If under the current circumstances, she really didn't care and left in anger with Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

By then, what happened today would reach the ears of Emperor Yongle, Empress Xu, and even all civil and military officials.

So how would those people view her as the Crown Princess?
no doubt……

She will inevitably be accused of being ignorant, ungrateful and unreasonable.

Once she is labeled like this, what kind of impression will she leave on those people?
Needless to say, he would fall from grace and become the target of criticism.

Of course, the Crown Princess can either ignore these things or bear them.

To her, that's all.

The problem is, these rumors, these slanderous and shameful words, can her good son, whom she cares for and regards as a treasure, withstand such rumors?

She is a mother who does not know the seriousness of the matter and does not understand reason. So what kind of person will her son, who has grown up with her for so many years, become in the eyes and hearts of others?

I'm afraid no one would think that Zhu Zhanji is much better than her as a mother.

So if we really think so, with Zhu Zhanji's current identity, is he qualified to shoulder the burden that he will need to bear in the future?

It will also become a problem and will inevitably be discussed again and fall into the middle of a man-eating vortex.

and so……

As for the current situation, she wanted to leave, but she couldn't and didn't dare to.

Because she didn't want to affect her son because of her own reasons.

This made Zhu Zhanji a criticized person and he even missed that position.

Don’t underestimate Emperor Yongle, he has now made Zhu Gaochi the crown prince.

But everyone in the court knew that from beginning to end, the person Emperor Yongle had always favored was Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

It was just because of Zhu Zhanji's existence and certain things that he had to do it.

If she doesn't know what's good for her, she would be so unreasonable.

Giving some people in the court an excuse.

God knows what kind of memorials some people will submit to criticize Zhu Zhanji because of the current situation, or try to dethrone Zhu Gaochi from the position of crown prince.

This kind of result is something the Crown Princess absolutely does not want to see, or something that she absolutely cannot accept.

Of course, when she said those words to the prince before, it wasn't what she really wanted or what she really had in mind.

It was just that as a mother, she felt distressed and reluctant to see her son being treated so badly and beaten so severely.

He was also unusually tactful and did not do it in front of Zhu Gaoxu, but waited until Zhu Gaoxu left.

They were the only two people left in the entire courtyard.

She was just complaining and showing a little dissatisfaction and heartache because of it.

But even though she thought so, she really couldn't imagine it.

It's just such a simple thing, and it's not something that has never happened or been done before.

The Crown Prince has never reacted like this before. Why did Zhu Gaochi act like he had taken up gunpowder today and get so angry and furious?

She didn't know what to do or what to do.

At this moment, the Crown Princess fell into silence and discomfort, and at the same time, she felt more aggrieved.

As she thought about it, a thin mist had already appeared in the Crown Princess's eyes. Crystal clear tears flowed silently from the corners of her eyes and slid down her cheeks from time to time.

At this moment, his body seemed to be drained of all its energy and spirit. He slowly collapsed to the side and began to sob softly.

The dull and suppressed crying spread silently throughout the empty courtyard.

It looks particularly desolate!
