Chapter 307 The Third Prince Gets a Lesson

The gloomy-looking Fourth Prince just ran into Concubine Wan, who was grieving the loss of her child. He didn't know whether his luck was good or bad today as he met so many people.

"Long live Empress Wan." This time, the Fourth Prince did not rush into a confrontation with anyone, but instead bowed politely to Concubine Wan.

Zhen Huan nodded to the Fourth Prince, "Fourth Prince." When she saw the Fourth Prince, she remembered that she had not seen him for a long time. This was the Fourth Prince whom she had protected in her previous life, and she had personally escorted him to the throne.

At this moment, Zhen Huan's heart was full of confidence. Since she had been able to help him ascend the throne in her previous life, she believed that she could do so in this life as well.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern, "Fourth Prince, you seem worried, is there something bothering you?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just didn't do my homework well and was criticized by the master in the Shangshufang." Although the next person was somewhat cordial when he saw Concubine Wan, it was just cordiality. It didn't mean that he would give everything to her. He didn't tell her why he was upset.

"Fourth Prince is intelligent. All your current worries will be fleeting. Studying is the most important thing for you now." What Zhen Huan said was consistent with the Queen's. They both saw that the Emperor would definitely not make the Third Prince the Crown Prince.

Of course, what Zhen Huan considered more than the Queen was how to pull the Fourth Prince from the Queen's camp to her side. Although she was a favorite concubine now, her status was not as high as the Queen's.

"Yes, Empress Wan is right. I will study hard." The Fourth Prince replied perfunctorily. He actually didn't quite understand in what capacity Empress Wan was lecturing him. After all, as a noble, she had no right to scold him.

"You must remember, never waste your time and energy on unworthy people or unworthy things." Zhen Huan couldn't help but want to persuade him. She had said this to him in her previous life. At that time, she had just returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple and heard Concubine Qi talking about her behind her back.

"Yes, I understand. I will not disturb Empress Wan from enjoying the scenery. I will take my leave now." After saying this, the Fourth Prince bowed and left. He was still silently saying in his heart, you are someone I am not worthy of, why should I waste my time listening to your nagging.

The Fourth Prince kept repeating what Concubine Wan said as he walked. Although he didn't want to listen more, he felt that there was some truth in what she said.

When he returned to the study, he didn't expect that the Emperor was there too, interrogating the Third Prince about his books. Seeing the Emperor's gloomy expression, the Fourth Prince did not go in. Instead, he asked the eunuch serving at the door why the Emperor was a little angry.

"In reply to Fourth Prince, the Emperor asked about Third Prince's books, but Third Prince couldn't answer, so..." He didn't continue with the rest of the words, but those who still understood understood.

"What is the emperor asking?"

"The Emperor asked the Third Prince to recite Wei Zheng's Ten Thoughts to Admonish Emperor Taizong, and the Third Prince recited it very fluently."

"Why is the emperor angry when he recites it fluently?"

"Yes, he recited it fluently, but when the emperor asked how Taizong could come here with his clothes hanging down and his hands folded, the third prince couldn't answer."

"Oh!" So that's it!

Then I heard the emperor in the room say loudly, "Your master is diligent in teaching, but you are lazy and sloppy. You entered the Shangshufang when you were five years old, and it has been more than ten years now, but I don't know where all the books you have read have gone."

The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his voice getting louder and louder, "I remember that two years ago you could recite a lot of Zhenguan political documents, but now you have forgotten them all!"

I was so thirsty from talking, but seeing the Third Prince standing there with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he had done wrong, I couldn't help but lecture him, "Fortunately your master has a good temper. If it were me, I would be so angry that I would die just by looking at you in the study for a day."

The Fourth Prince, who was outside the door, heard the noise inside and couldn't help laughing in his heart. He was worried that his Third Brother would compete with him, so he was worrying for nothing.
