Chapter 624 Beating
As soon as Liu Zhao left the palace, he was ridiculed by his brothers.
Even the courtiers joined in the fun and said a few jokes.
"Big brother is so lucky!"
"That's not right! You don't need the elder brother to work hard, relying on the sister-in-law alone, the two little nephews have titles."
"It's not comparable, it's not comparable."
"I'm really envious of waiting."
"Honestly, do you feel ashamed, big brother? An imposing man is not as capable as a woman."
"Brother Yu and Brother Heng's titles are all earned by their sister-in-law. Apart from envy, there is only envy."
"If it were me, I'd be ashamed to death!"
"What shame. Don't you want a real title?"
"A title earned by a woman, can you take it?"
The brothers, like hundreds of ducks, were chattering in Liu Zhao's ears, making it so noisy!
He has a cold face.
No matter who it is, he can't get a good face from him.
With a straight face, he said solemnly: "Brother, I know that you are envious and jealous, and hate yourself for being unlucky and not able to marry a woman as capable as your wife.
But it's useless even if you hate and feel uncomfortable. Because you will never have such good fortune as me.
Also, you have to get used to things like this. Maybe it won't be long before my wife earns titles for the children again. Don't make any fuss in the future, the dignified prince is like a common man who has never seen the world, your father's face has been completely humiliated by you. "
The princes: "..."
Never seen such a brazen person.
It's too much deception, too much deception!
"Could it be that elder brother is a villain? What are you happy about the title earned by sister-in-law?"
Liu Zhao sneered and said, "A husband is more valuable than his wife. In the same way, a wife is more valuable than his husband. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"Shame!"
"Who says shame? Stand up!"
No one stood up.
Liu Zhao glanced over the faces of each brother, and said mockingly: "If you feel ashamed, then don't go out of your way to marry that capable woman from a good family background.
It would be great to marry a troublemaker and come back, and it will make you look very capable. Not only do the affairs of the yamen well, but even all the affairs of the inner court can be taken care of.
A dignified prince, you can ride horses and kill enemies to manage state affairs when you go out, and you can embroider butlers when you go home. Let's see what you can do. Do you want me to go to the father for you and fight for it? "
"Brother really knows how to joke!"
Liu Zhao waited for the second prince, Liu Ping, with a serious face, "Second brother thinks I'm joking?"
The second prince Liu Ping frowned, what did Liu Zhao do to him? He didn't say anything.
"This is the imperial palace, so you should be more careful when you speak." He said seriously.
Liu Zhao sneered, "In the beginning, who didn't pay attention to what he said? It's a fact that your sister-in-law is capable. Shouldn't I congratulate me for earning the title for your nephew?
One by one is full of yin and yang, cynicism, what's the matter, do you really think that I have no temper and dare not touch you?
Don't forget, I am the elder brother. I want to teach you a lesson, not to mention verbal reprimand, even if I touch you, who would dare to say no? Even if you make trouble in front of your father, believe it or not, your father will have to deal with you again. "
The fourth brother, Liu Yi, hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother, calm down! Everyone is talking unintentionally!"
"fart!"
Liu Zhao scolded, and didn't give his brother Liu Yi any face at all.
Liu Yi has an ugly face, but in his heart he resents Liu Zhao's temper, do he really want to show off his elder brother's reputation?
It's not in the palace, everyone is a prince, what a show!
Liu Zhao sternly said, "Next time I hear someone say something rude and disrespectful to my eldest sister-in-law, I'll whip him! Those who don't believe in evil, you can give it a try. See if it's your hard mouth or my whip."
"Brother, don't worry, brothers must be careful in what they say in the future." The third prince Liu Yan can be a man.
"It's all gone, it's all gone. From now on, stop gossiping and take care of your own affairs." The second prince Liu Ping greeted his brothers, and they all left the palace together.
Only the fourth prince, Liu Yi, stood still.
After the other brothers left, Liu Yi complained in a low voice: "Brother, we are brothers of the same mother. I am only happy for the two nephews who have won the title, and I have no dissatisfaction at all. But you should be there anyway Save some face for me in front of others."
Liu Zhao sneered, "You didn't gossip a lot before. What's the matter, are you jealous of your two nephews?"
Liu Yi smiled awkwardly, "Brother treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I am jealous that my brother can marry a sister-in-law. As for the two nephews, how stingy I am, I will envy them. My brother is too small. I."
Liu Yi admitted frankly that he was jealous of Liu Zhao marrying Gu Jiu, but it made Liu Zhao look at him more.
Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, "The fourth younger sibling is devoted to you, you should restrain yourself and don't make trouble with her, she will also be your good helper."
Liu Yi arched his hands, "I am not as restrained as elder brother when it comes to female sex. But I am a prince after all, and it is normal to have several concubines around me. She is just jealous."
Liu Zhao was not happy, "Your sister-in-law is also jealous."
"But sister-in-law is capable. If Qin'er has half the ability of sister-in-law, I will listen to her." Liu Yi said solemnly.
Liu Zhao sneered twice, "You are dreaming."
In his next life, he would never want to marry a capable woman like Gu Jiu.
Liu Zhao has already reserved Gu Jiu's next life, so no one can compete with him.
Don't care about men and women in the next life, after all, Gu Jiu will be his.
Liu Zhao is so domineering, there is nothing wrong with it!
The two brothers went to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects.
Empress Pei has already got the news that both grandchildren have won titles.
Empress Pei was very happy when she saw Liu Zhao.
"Since your father came to the throne, this is the first time to confer a title on a junior. Tomorrow, remember to ask Gu Jiu to bring the child into the palace to thank you."
But Liu Zhao said: "It's freezing cold, and the child is so young, it's very inconvenient to go into the palace. Besides, my son has already thanked the three of them for their mother and son today. I don't think there is any need to go into the palace to thank you."
Empress Pei leaned back angrily, "Are you confused? Enter the palace to thank you, this is the rule. It's not like you dote on children. Your Majesty bestows a noble, how can you not enter the palace to thank you. Absurd!"
She saw that Liu Zhao spoiled his wife and children to the point of no bottom line, it was ridiculous.
Liu Yi persuaded: "Queen mother, calm down! Eldest brother is also worried about his little nephew. For such a young child, he is afraid of accidents when he goes out in snowy weather."
"Can there be any accidents? It is only a few steps from the palace to the palace? When you go out, you take a carriage, and when you enter the palace, there is a soft sedan chair. I don't believe that the child can get sick with such a few steps?"
Empress Pei was very angry.
Liu Zhao always confronted her, never once, he obediently listened to her.
So, she doesn't like this son.
It is really hideous!
Liu Zhao said expressionlessly: "Mother, don't be in a hurry to get angry, and you don't have to worry about father blaming you. Today in Xingqing Palace, my son has already mentioned this matter to father emperor. Father emperor has already allowed the three of them, mother and son, not to enter. Gong Xie En. It is not too late to enter the palace to thank you after the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet."
Empress Pei couldn't go up or down in one breath, it made her feel so uncomfortable.
She said angrily, "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?"
Liu Yi echoed, "Yes, elder brother should have said it earlier, so as not to worry the queen mother."
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "Everyone looks like they are in a hurry to get angry, how can they have the patience to listen to what I have to say."
Empress Pei's face darkened, "Are you accusing me?"
"The queen mother misunderstood. The son is blaming himself. He can't even speak properly. He is really stupid and ignorant."
Liu Zhao spoke nonsense in a serious manner, and Empress Pei couldn't help frowning.
She felt in her heart that Liu Zhao was mocking her in a different way. But rationality told her that Liu Zhao shouldn't be so insane, he dared to ridicule his biological mother, which is a big treason.
Empress Pei was not sure about Liu Zhao's attitude for a while.
She could only say with a straight face: "Next time, be more careful when you speak, so as not to cause misunderstandings. I can understand if the child doesn't go out on a windy and snowy day. When the weather clears up, I should go to the palace to pay my respects."
Liu Zhao nodded, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, when the weather clears, Xiao Jiu will bring the child into the palace to pay her respects."
Empress Pei's expression softened, but she mentioned another matter, "That's great! You can talk to Gu Jiu after you go back, she's a woman, and she shouldn't be the one to do such a great service like presenting sweet potato seeds.
This kind of credit, whether it is given to you or to anyone else, is hundreds of times better than her being a woman. Next time something like this happens again, you must act more prudently. Women, what do you want to do with so much credit, and you can't be an official. "
Liu Zhao frowned, obviously disapproving of what Empress Pei said.
But he was too lazy to talk to Queen Pei because he couldn't figure it out.
If you have to make it clear, you have to mention Emperor Wende's attitude.
In the palace, the topic is so deep, it's not good!
Moreover, Liu Zhao was not interested in having such an in-depth chat with Empress Pei.
He said: "If the mother has nothing else to do, the son will leave first. The Yamen still has errands to do."
Empress Pei waved her hand, "Go and do your work. It's fine if the fourth child is with me."
Liu Yi smiled wryly, "Mother, my son also has some errands to do in the yamen. It's the end of the year, and I have to finish all the errands before I close my pen."
Empress Pei frowned, "Really so busy?"
"It's true! The son dare not lie to the queen mother."
"Go, go. Go to work. When the work is over, come and talk with Bengong."
"Son obeys!"
Liu Yi got up, followed Liu Zhao and left Weiyang Palace together.
"Brother, wait for younger brother!"
