Chapter 8, Anger at Their Lack of Struggle

In terms of relationships, he is half a disciple of the steward

However, he still breathed a sigh of relief, as the prince ultimately did not press him about his attitude towards Consort Yuan.

Looking at the cold-faced Chief Hong standing in front of me, the sweat on his face was pouring down like water, ceaselessly dripping.

However, this method is not always correct

The majestic palace gate draws ever closer, and the sun shines ever brighter

No matter how one answers, it is always wrong. Regardless of how the prince arranges matters with Consort Yuan, they are mother and daughter, which is inconsequential.

As promised, a multitude of concubines!

After speaking, he bowed slightly towards Lin Yi

He also has a son, a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a granddaughter. One cannot allow the Yuan family to suffer because of one daughter

A daughter is the apple of her eye, and naturally, she cares for her dearly. However, when it comes to matters of the royal family, even the slightest misstep could bring disaster upon the entire household

No one can say anything, regardless of who it is

The blurring of the lines between ruler and subject is a grave taboo

The most detestable is the son who smiles in front of me, the one to whom she once gave the greatest hope and the support for her later years, yet he has achieved neither literary nor martial success

In terms of position, he should definitely listen to Director Hong

He fears nothing under heaven or on earth, but he is afraid of seeing his mother cry afterwards

I cannot engage in such barbaric acts

Internally, he is actually rejecting it, but he does not dare to not go.

Yuan Guifei was conferred the title of Ning Guifei by He Tushu, but she preferred to be called Yuan Guifei. Her surname is Yuan, and she takes greater pride in her family.

It is not easy to disappoint someone who loves you deeply

My fate is truly bitter...

As Yuan Guifei wept in pain, she waved her hand towards the maids on either side.

From the day they entered the palace, Chief Steward Hong required those accompanying the prince to possess the ability to ensure that outsiders could not easily approach him

To this day, I only dare to ride a donkey

She is not convinced

The figures of the Yuan family members grew increasingly faint, while the tears of Consort Yuan flowed more and more abundantly

If it weren't for the concern of delaying the prince today, we would have certainly dealt with you decisively!

Yuan Guifei wiped away her tears, glanced at Lin Ning, and then fixed her gaze on Lin Yi, speaking in a dazed manner, "If you had even one-tenth of your sister's qualities, this palace would be able to close my eyes in peace, even in death."

After all, even the former commander of the royal guards, a third-rank master who was once regarded as unattainable in his eyes, was crippled by the steward and expelled from the royal palace

The mother of the Duke of Pillar State, the venerable matriarch, and the legitimate wife, Lady Dong, rose to pay her respects to Lin Yi along with the female members of the Duke of Pillar State's household

Hong Emergency is busy.

With a distinguished family background, having a biological father and elder brother as support, the legitimate son is fully qualified to contend for the supreme position

"The old lady has overwhelmed the young man." Lin Yi bowed in return, which was only natural.

He ultimately understood the meaning of what his father once said: "Beasts are all afraid of the strong and bully the weak!" After making them submit with the whip in hand, he would then cultivate a relationship with them

Who made him value family ties so much

At this moment, the long-awaited reunion with her grandmother and mother, whom she had not seen for many years, filled her with immense excitement

Does not exist

With everyone retreating to the sides, the vast chamber was left with only the three of them, a mother and her two children

Why should one have to yield to others

He feels even more lonely

Listening to the steward's eerie tone, Sun Yi knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing his head.

The Emperor's deep affection for his mother is certainly due to the Yuan family, but on the other hand, it is also because his mother possesses exceptional beauty; if placed in modern society, she would at least be a top-tier celebrity.

Lin Yi directly knelt down, while the elderly lady beside him—his maternal grandmother, as well as his maternal grandfather—he simply ignored

The prince seldom uses a carriage when going out, but suddenly, it left the coachman flustered and at a loss.

Both bitter and weary, he truly could not bear it; however, a single glance from Chief Hong left him without the courage to refuse

He is already 21 years old, having just inherited his father's riding whip for less than two years, illiterate, and only knows how to raise horses

After Hong Ying finished speaking, he walked into the stable with his hands behind his back

As a prince, the only privilege is that after stopping the carriage, one can enter the palace by riding in a sedan chair

Please convey my respects to the prince

Lin Yi leaned against the entrance, yawning with a sense of lethargy.

It is a waste of the higher education received in a previous life

If Lin Yi truly acts according to his own temperament, regardless of who it is, everyone will speculate that such disregard for hierarchy must have ulterior motives

It has already become the greatest joke of the capital

To oppress others with power

The young one knows his guilt ... ... This horse does not know why it is startled today ... ... The young one ... ...

Hong Ying remained silent, smirking upon hearing these words

He wants to be a person

Although I sometimes do not have a favorable view of him, I must say that I love him wholeheartedly and protect him

However, Chief Hong still forced him to practice the techniques every day

Sun Yi discovered that the fierce horse, which he could not manage despite his experience in horse care learned from his father, immediately calmed down as soon as Chief Steward Hong approached. It lowered its head, only daring to scrape its front hooves on the ground, while its body remained completely still.

However, he was unwilling to do so. Under the scorching sun, eight young eunuchs, around fourteen or fifteen years old, carried him, making him appear even more useless

From beginning to end, Lin Ning, who had not spoken a word, took the handkerchief from the maid and handed it to her mother, cautiously saying, "Mother..."

The most crucial point is that her daughter has inherited the martial arts skills of the Yuan family, and at such a young age, she is already a seventh-grade master

"Your Highness, you have worked hard." Mingyue thought, following the way of speaking she learned from Chief Steward Hong, it would always be correct

"Take care, old lady." Lin Yi naturally did not wish for her to linger.

The ideological concepts formed in the previous life cannot be changed in this life

Once one grows up, one understands the so-called rules, where there are distinctions of respect and hierarchy

"Your Highness is overly concerned," the old lady said with a beaming smile as she stood up once more. "The Ninth Prince is wise and will surely be blessed. Today, His Majesty has graciously allowed us to meet, and I am deeply grateful. Having troubled you for such a long time, I believe Your Highness should take a rest now, so I shall take my leave first."

Lin Yi sometimes feels quite guilty towards his biological mother

Sun Yi, if you cannot do it, we will change to someone else

Every time I casually make a joke, they are scared enough to kneel down

Lin Yi kicked off the wooden clogs he used as slippers and said irritably, "What are you standing there for? Find the boots, prepare the donkey... the carriage, we are going to the palace!"

As a eunuch, if he meddles indiscriminately, he will face severe consequences

Lin Ning's extraordinary talent and reputation as the foremost female genius in the world are certainly not mere flattery; everyone who has read her poetry and verses has praised her

The biological mother weeps with tears like pear blossoms; although she is already thirty-six years old, the passage of time has left little trace on that beautiful face

"Grandmother, Mother, there is no need for such formality," said Yuan Guifei as she stood up from the centrally located chair, gently assisting the old lady and her mother to sit down. "This wild child, my granddaughter, truly cannot be managed. If her older brother were to take more responsibility in her upbringing, perhaps she would become a bit more restrained in the future"

Blood relations must yield their position

How could she possibly have a glow on her face as a mother

Dong lowered her head and remained silent; this was her biological daughter, but how should she respond

Pay my respects to the Empress Mother

Lin Yi shook his head, too lazy to respond, recalling that Mingyue was much more interesting in her childhood

He knows his own prince too well

It is not that there is a lack of respect, but rather a fear of showing respect

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said, "This is indeed my son's fault"

What sins have I committed in this life!

It is causing him discomfort

However, upon suddenly seeing Lin Yi being led in by the maid, the previously relaxed brows furrowed tightly together.

Such a lowly creature as he deserves only to beg
