The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 461: tempted
Chapter 461: Moved
“Father, although I am stupid, I am not foolish! They have bullied me openly or secretly! During those years… when Tong Ji was here, it was Tong Ji who risked his life to protect me. I know that you are already very tired from working hard for the state, and I don’t want you to worry about me anymore! So I just endured it! Now Tong Ji is gone, and there is no one to protect me anymore! I finally found Ting Zhen, and I am worried that if Ting Zhen is taken away, I will have nothing! That’s why I dare to bother you! I beg you to help me!”
Prince Liang kowtowed twice on the mirror-clear floor. Concubine Qiu tugged at the emperor’s sleeve again, “Your Majesty… Look how sincere Prince Liang is! I am so moved! Please agree to it, Prince Liang… and help this pair of lovers to be together!”
The emperor looked at his son’s pitiful appearance and immediately thought of his own childhood…
At that time, he was also so cowardly and incompetent, afraid of everything, because he did not have a father who loved him. Although he was a prince, the high-ranking servants in the palace could step on him. In order to get him a better meal on his birthday, his sister bowed her head and was submissive to the eunuchs in the kitchen. They… were princes and princesses!
The difficult moments of his childhood flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. The emperor clenched his fists tightly, then slowly loosened them…
His son just wanted a woman, but he had to beg him so pitifully! He is a prince! The emperor’s son! How could he live such a wronged life!
The emperor had been living a smooth life in recent years, and he had not recalled his past humbleness for a long time. Now, seeing his son’s pitiful and cowardly appearance, the emperor couldn’t help but feel anger and pity.
“You are a prince! You are my son! You just want a woman! Why are you crying so hard?! Stand up!” The emperor took out his anger on Gao Demao, “What are you standing there for! Why don’t you help Prince Liang up!”
Gao Demao quickly stepped forward and helped the King of Liang up: “Your Highness, please get up quickly. You are the son of the emperor. Who dares to compete with you for the woman you like? Even Master Chen would not dare to compete with the son of the emperor for a girl, right?!”
Prince Liang still had tears on his face and he sobbed as he looked at the emperor.
The emperor snatched the handkerchief from Concubine Qiu’s hand and threw it on the ground: “Wipe your tears! What nonsense!”
Prince Liang picked up the handkerchief and wiped his tears. He started to feel wronged again: “My son… my son never cries outside! Only in front of my father, only… only…”
“Your Majesty, Prince Liang is crying in front of his own father, so it’s nothing!” Concubine Qiu hurriedly tried to smooth things over, fearing that the emperor would be unhappy about it.
The emperor felt much calmer, as he felt that Prince Liang was just like a miniature of his own youth, except that this child was more cowardly, timid, and incompetent than he was back then. Perhaps because of this, Prince Liang was kinder… and less cunning.
The most important thing is the sincerity of King Liang towards his father…
“That’s enough! Isn’t she just a woman…” The emperor leaned on the soft pillow and impatiently fiddled with the tassels on the pillow, saying, “Send someone to call Dong Qingping! That… Ping An lock, leave it here!”
“Father…Father! Please don’t tell Lord Dong about Ting Zhen giving me the personal safety lock. Ting Zhen’s family has strict education, and she gave it to me just to make you believe! I don’t want Ting Zhen to be punished by Lord Dong! I don’t want others to gossip about Ting Zhen!” King Liang said hurriedly.
The emperor was immediately furious again, and Concubine Qiu hurriedly said with a smile: “Your Majesty… Look at Prince Liang, he hasn’t even married yet, but you’re already protecting him! That’s great… This reminds me that every time I made a mistake, Your Majesty always protected me in front of the Queen!”
The emperor waved his hand at Prince Liang, “Take Ping An Suo away, take him away! Gao Demao…please get Prince Liang out! He gives me a headache!”
“Thank you, father! Thank you, father!” Prince Liang wiped his tears with his sleeve, kowtowed to the emperor with a grin, then went out holding his safety lock tightly.
The emperor looked at his joyful son and frowned: “Why did I give birth to such a stupid son!”
“But His Highness Prince Liang really wants to be a good son in front of His Majesty! I can see this! You see, His Highness Prince Liang went to Yanwo to invite the immortal who made the elixir back for His Majesty, and even delayed his mission. He was blamed by all the ministers, but he took all the blame! The most important thing is… after His Majesty used the elixir, he really had the spirit of a dragon and a tiger. I have a deep understanding of this.”
When the emperor heard this, he smiled and touched Concubine Qiu’s hand.

Bai Jinzhi rushed to the Prince’s Mansion and conveyed Bai Qingyan’s instructions to the Prince. The Prince was stunned after hearing it.
He never thought that the cowardly and incompetent good-for-nothing brother would become his competitor.
“It is too unrealistic for Prince Liang to want my position as Crown Prince!” The Crown Prince sneered and did not take Prince Liang seriously.
Bai Jinzhi clenched his fists: “My elder sister only told His Highness to be on guard. Just now, when my elder sister asked me to report to His Highness the Crown Prince, I had already gone to the Dong Mansion. I think she was going to say hello to Uncle Dong in preparation for a rainy day.”
Elder Fang stroked his goatee and said, “Your Highness, what Princess Gaoyi said is very true. After all, Prince Liang is also Your Majesty’s prince, so it is not impossible for him to seize the throne. I think that whether Prince Liang is trying to please Your Majesty or… marrying the daughter of the Dong family, it can be said that it is unintentional when viewed separately, but if these two things are put together, it is worth Your Highness’s vigilance and deep thought!”
The prince looked solemn.
Old Fang frowned, thought for a moment and said, “Sir Dong Qingyue, the governor of Dengzhou, has no legitimate daughter. If the King of Liang really marries the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Honglu Temple, Sir Dong Qingping, the governor of Dengzhou, Sir Dong Qingyue will not favor the King of Liang!”
“Jinzhi remembered something, but I don’t know if it’s right!” Bai Jinzhi looked up at the prince, “Jinzhi remembers that at the birthday banquet, the noble lady Qiu, who was sent to your majesty by the King of Liang, repeatedly spoke well of the Prince of Nandu. I wonder… is it because she has been trying to win over the Prince of Nandu in secret?”
When Mr. Fang heard this, his pupils trembled and he took a step towards the prince: “Your Highness! Sending beauties to His Majesty, secretly trying to win over Prince Xian who holds military power, and impatiently trying to bribe the Dong family with marriage relations, the intentions of Prince Liang are already obvious!”
The prince looked towards Old Fang and his whole body suddenly tensed up.
Although Bai Qingyan supports him, in terms of relationship, Bai Qingyan’s surname is Bai, not Dong.
Moreover, if the King of Liang marries the daughter of the Dong family, when the King of Liang ascends the throne in the future, the Dong family will become foreign relatives! There is no guarantee that the Dong family will not be tempted!
