Chapter 905: Crossdressing: Crown highness’ slight pampering (Part 37)

The eastern palace.

“Peng!”  With a sound of porcelain smashing on the floor, Hua Su Ye closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “If you don’t let me go, don’t blame me for not being merciful.”

If it wasn’t for his mother spoiling him, who would have been able to keep him here in the court and harem.

“Your highness, don’t be anxious, the empress is doing this for your good!”

“That’s right, your highness.  There are rumours all around, you should listen to the empress!”

The two maids were kneeling on the ground, worried that he would do something rash.

After all, concubine Lian looked at him with jealousy.  The news of him sleeping with another man in the easter palace was actually spread.

The emperor was furious and asked the empress to lock him up, cutting off all the rumours.

“Rumours?”  He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before muttering, “If it wasn’t for those rumours……”

“Your highness, please don’t scare these servants!”  The two maids looked at each other and their hearts filled with panic.”

“The empress is here.”  When they didn’t know what to do, the empress came.

“You can leave first!”

“Yes!  Empress!”

“Ye’er, don’t cause trouble!”  The empress tightly held his hand when she came in and brought him to the side, “The rumours that you didn’t like girls was spread by concubine Lian…..this one didn’t believe it.  But this time, it seemed to have come from your eastern palace.”

“So what if it is or isn’t……”  Hua Su Ye clenched his fists and said, “This child has the right to choose.”

“Nonsense!”  The empress looked at him with a very strict gaze, “Your father is very angry and is already helping you a crown princess.  This time I can’t help you!”

As the empress, she had to endure in her entire life.  After her two children had been killed, she wasn’t able to find the truth for them.

She could only walk on thin ice in the harem.  For Hua Su Ye, she had given her sincere support.

Now that the emperor’s body was becoming worse each day and the crown prince was reluctant to marry a princess, what would they do if the eighth prince made the first move…..

“Crown princess?”  Hua Su Ye gave a cold snort, “I won’t marry, I definitely won’t!”

-

At the same time, in the court.

“The matter of the crown prince has already spread, it really harms the dignity of the royal family.  This minister asks the emperor to come up with a plan to calm this storm!”  Minister Deng of the household department came forward with a dark glow in his eyes.

The emperor said with a cold snort, “This one has already asked the empress to pick a suitable woman and we will marry the crown prince on the next auspicious day.”

“But emperor……”  Deng Ren continued, “If the crown prince isn’t willing, what do we do?”

“How do you know he isn’t willing?”  The emperor looked at Deng Ren with a dissatisfied look, “Could it be that you know him better than me?”

“No…...No……”  Deng Ren saw the emperor’s expression change and immediately said with a smile, “I’ve heard that the eighth prince’s princess is pregnant again.  Congratulations to the emperor on another grandson!”

“Humph.”  The emperor gave a smile of contempt, “Daring to say that you understand this one’s crown prince and you even dare ask about the matters of the harem, as well as having the ability to predict the future.  The grandchild…..you already know if it’s a boy from the moment the woman is pregnant?”

“This minister…...This minister does not dare.”  Deng Ren quickly knelt down, “Please forgive this minister, emperor.”

“This one really wants to cure your crime.”  The emperor threw his decree on the ground, “The Deng Family knows what they have done.”
