Chapter 953: Usurping the Throne
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, from what Jiang Jinlu heard, it sounded like his eldest senior sister was intentionally giving him pointers!
Thinking about it carefully, she was right. He was a person who did not know how to speak and often offended people without even knowing it. If he were to be like this in the future, it was likely that he would make many people angry without him knowing. When that time came, his official career would
also be very difficult.
“Iknow, but… Eldest Senior Sister, I really… don’t know how to praise people. What should I do?” Jiang Jinlu asked.
As soon as he finished his words, Zhao Xuanjing came over and looked at Jiang Jinlu deeply. Then, he walked between the two of them. “I asked the kitchen to make pastries. They taste good. Do you want to try them?”
“Sure, but I have to deal with some things first.” Xie Qiao nodded.
“Let’s do that together,” Zhao Xuanjing answered casually. “What were you talking about just now?”
“T feel that I’m not good with my words. I don’t know what to say to make others feel comfortable.” Facing the Crown Prince, Jiang Jinlu’s voice became weaker and more respectful.
Thinking of the Crown Prince ascending the throne in the future, he felt that the person in front of him was not his senior brother, but someone who controlled where his head would be and could not be provoked.
If he offended his senior sister, there was still room for negotiation. If he offended the Crown Prince, then
Even the G.o.ds could not save him.
“Comment on me and Eldest Senior Sister. Let me hear it,” Zhao Xuanjing said.
Jiang Jinlu was inexplicably nervous, and his heart was in his throat.
At this moment, he felt as if he had gone to the court examinations ahead of time and wanted to brag about the wisdom of the Emperor or the royal family.
His Highness was his senior brother, but the two of them had only met a few times. After all, the Crown Prince was still very busy and had a lot of government affairs to deal with.
“Your Highness… you are all-rounded and have the heart to love the people. You are lenient and magnanimous. You have the heart of a hero…” After all, he was not writing an article, so Jiang Jinlu could only force herself to boast.
“Haha…” Zhao Xuanjing could not help but laugh.
Xie Qiao was the same.
“Look at my ident.i.ty. I have the heart to love the people and be magnanimous… Do you think that I am secretly planning to usurp the throne and drive my father away to replace him?” Zhao Xuanjing asked with a smile.
Jiang Jinlu’s legs gave way and he immediately knelt down. “I wouldn’t dare!”
“We’re out together and living together. You are my junior brother. Since I asked you to speak, you should say something sincere, not those words that are tiring to hear.” Zhao Xuanjing was not angry and glanced at him, “Get up. You’re already so fl.u.s.tered when I asked you to speak. You need to learn
more.”
Jiang Jinlu’s forehead was covered in sweat.
He did not want to kneel, but the word “usurp the throne’ really scared him.
After standing up, Jiang Jinlu wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought carefully.
From the perspective of a junior brother.
“Theard from the teacher that… Senior Brother has been smart since you were young. When you entered the sect, you already had a stomach full of talent. However, this talent did not come from the sky, but from the hard work you acc.u.mulated. Senior Brother is a n.o.ble student, but your desire to learn is
stronger than that of a poor student like me. Senior Brother is so strict with yourself. Either you like reading, or you read for the people of the world. You haven’t slacked off for so many years. This has always been what I admire the most.” Jiang Jinlu also tried his best to tell the truth.
“That’s probably the case. There’s nothing we can do if we’re naturally intelligent. Just by working a little harder, others won’t be able to catch up to us.” Zhao Xuanjing sighed lightly.
The corner of Jiang Jinlu’s mouth twitched.
This other person also included him, right?
As for him, he could already be considered to be very talented in reading. Otherwise, his teacher would not have accepted him, but… his senior brother, the Crown Prince, was indeed beyond the reach of others..
