Chapter 25 Completely offended the Crown Prince.
Zhong Langyao saw that Zhong Langyu did not express his position and sighed softly: “It seems that the next time we three meet will be in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Second Brother, let"s go!” Zhong Langyao said, pretending to leave. Zhong Langyu quickly reached out to stop him: “Wait a minute, let me think again, let me think again.”
Zhong Langyu"s ideological struggle was fierce. He thought a lot. He knew that it was risky to bear this sin. There was even the danger of beheading, however if I don"t take the blame, I"ll also go to jail. In this way I would have completely offend the Crown Prince. What should I do, what to do?
Zhong Langyao saw the opening, and his face had on a smile. He patted Zhong Langyu on the shoulder: “You can rest a.s.sured. Are you not the son Fu Huang? He will not be embarra.s.s you, even if you are jailed for a few years, that is nothing, can those jailers dare to be embarra.s.s you? Besides, don"t you have me? The Crown Prince? I will try and find a way to save you from outside. I can guarantee here that as long as you bear this, I will make you an iron hatted prince after I become the emperor, who does not have to bow to anyone! What do you think?”
Zhong Langyu was a little moved, saying to himself, this was a rare opportunity. If he attached himself to the Crown Prince"s ship, he would never have to look for riches all his life. Zhong Langxi took the opportunity to stir him up: “Don"t hesitate, it"s better than all three of us going in!”
Zhong Langyu was silent for a long while, then finally sighed: “Okay, I will bear the crime. If I really go in, the two brothers must take care of my Yin w.a.n.gfu, especially my w.a.n.gfei. Her brain is not good, you have to take care of her.”
Zhong Langyao and Zhong Langxi smiled: “You can rest a.s.sured, as long as I am still in the position of Crown Prince, there would be no loss for you, you can rest a.s.sured! Later I will send my 15200 and second brother"s 3200 silver. When the time comes, you will return the money back to the household department. I will take the opportunity to say something nice about you, and then maybe things will pa.s.s.”
Zhong Langyu had agreed up to this point and had to nod and promise: “Crown Prince brother, you have to remember what you said, if something happens to go wrong, you have to take care of my Yin w.a.n.gfu.”
Zhong Langxiao smiled slightly: “Fourth Brother, you can rest a.s.sured! Brother is still the Crown Prince after this pa.s.s, as long as I am still Crown Prince, everything will be easy!”
After talking to him, Zhong Langyao and Zhong Langxi walked away with smiles. Zhong Langyu looked at their backs, upset. Was this a blessing or a curse to do this?
Zhong Langyu spent the next few days in a fearful and uneasy mood. Looking at the box of silver sent by Crown Prince and Jia Junw.a.n.g, Zhong Langyu really had the urge to surrender. But he resisted, no, I can"t take the initiative to confess, the Crown Prince said, the case has not yet been discovered by the Household department. Maybe it was a false alarm.
Xi Ruoxuan spent the whole day with Master Xu Nian in a bubble. Now she was no longer learning the stick method, she changed to sword practice. It wasn"t that she didn"t want to learn, but that Xu Nian had taught all that he knew, so he had no choice but to teach her swordsmanship. On this day, they practicing hard when they suddenly heard a voice cry: “Good! Good practice!”
Xi Ruoxuan and Xu Nian were shocked at the same time. This voice was too familiar. Wasn"t it the Emperor? They looked back at the same time, and sure enough, it was Zhong Yehan walking into the yard with a few eunuchs.
Xu Nian quickly bowed: “This subject Xu Nian greets the emperor.”
Xi Ruoxuan was a silly w.a.n.gfei, so she stood there in a daze, pretending to be at a loss.
Zhong Yehan also didn"t mind. He looked at Xi Ruoxuan very admiringly: “Yes, I just saw your skill, very good posture, very decisive shots, you must also study hard. You martial arts practicing is very well, but you must also study you books. Beloved official, how is Ruoxuan"s recent work?”
Xu Nian quickly got up and answered: “Your Majesty, w.a.n.gfei Niangniang"s work is also progressing quickly, this official is a little unable to teach.”
Zhong Yehan looked at the Xi Ruoxuan with some surprise: “Oh, Really! Then write some words for Zhen to see.”
The servant quickly brought out a paper and an ink brush. Xi Ruoxuan picked up the brush, and stiffly wrote a few big characters deliberately crooked, in order not to expose herself, however, Zhong Yehan was still very happy: “Good! It"s great to be able to make such progress in just a few days. Cery remarkable.”
Xu Nian quickly bowed and saluted: “Thank you Emperor.”
Zhong Yehan was about to say something when Zhong Langyu, Yin Junw.a.n.g, hurriedly ran out of the back room: “Father, you didn"t inform me that you"ve come. It is a sin for Er Chen to come here to greet you!”
Zhong Yehan waved his hand: “Those who don"t know are innocent. I haven"t seen you lately. What are you up to?”
Zhong Langyu"s heart jumped, he was afraid his father already knew about his embezzlement. He stammered, “No, no, I"m not busy, just reading some books.”
Zhong Yehan nodded: “Reading is good! Reading makes people reasonable. A reasonable person would not do confused things. Don"t you say?”
Zhong Langyu didn"t know if there was anything in his father"s words, so he had to say vaguely, “Fu Huang has taught Er Chen a lesson. Er Chen will study hard.”
Zhong Yehan looked at the words of Xi Ruoxuan: “Langyu, Ruoxuan is good, although some things are still tender, it is very strong. When you have to time guide her a little.”
Zhong Langyu heard this and had a lot of peace in his mind. If father can say this, then I guess he doesn"t know about the matter, otherwise he wouldn"t tell me to teach Xi Ruoxuan.
Zhong Langyu cupped his fists and bowed: “Father, rest a.s.sured, Er Chen will obey.”
Zhong Yehan also said a few words, then let Xi Ruoxuan practice, seeing how she practiced with a few sets of sticks and a sword. Zhong Yehan could hardly believe that a mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded could be so savvy that if he didn"t know she was a fool in advance, he would have thought she was a normal person, or even better than a normal person.
After sitting all morning, Zhong Yehan had lunch in the Yinw.a.n.g Fu again. Zhong Yehan usually liked to walk around in his son"s house and eat there often. In his opinion, it was also kind of a heavenly pleasure.
When the Emperor comes, the dishes on the table would naturally be richer. Chicken, duck and fish meat were a little vulgar, seafood food was the protagonist of the show. Xi Ruoxuan looked at the table full of dishes and her eyes were shining, wow! She would eat good.
As soon as the Emperor gave the order to start, Xi Ruoxuan gave full display to the strength of a fool. That was, fools could not distinguish between rules, they ate as much as they liked, that was, no matter how disgusting they ate, people would laugh.
Xi Ruoxuan with her left and right hands, carried out the most cla.s.sic stable, accurate and ruthless strategy on the table, the table"s delicious basic search. Zhong Langyu really couldn"t look anymore and hurriedly pulled Xi Ruoxuan: “Can you slow down! Look at you, like a hungry ghost!”
Xi Ruoxuan said in her heart: Oh! When you and Yun"er had that affair, this old lady hasn"t come to you to settle accounts, yet you dare mess with me. You wait, see how I deal with you! Xi Ruoxuan scratched her head an thought about it. Suddenly her eyes flashed, and a bad idea entered her mind again.
Xi Ruoxuan clipped a piece of greasy pork and put it in her mouth, chewing hard. That piece of pork happened to be greasy, so her mouth was full of oil. Zhong Langyu saw that it was too indecent and hurriedly said: “Look at you, wipe your mouth clean!”
