Zhong Langyu spent the past few days in a state of panic. Looking at the boxes of money sent by the prince and Prince Jia, Zhong Langyu really had the urge to surrender. But he held back, no, I can't take the initiative to confess. The prince said that the investigators of the case have not yet found the Ministry of Household Affairs, so it might be a false alarm.
Xi Ruoxuan still spends all day with her master Xu Nian. Now she no longer learns stick skills, but instead learns sword skills. It's not that Xi Ruoxuan's stick skills are already perfect, it's because Xu Nian has taught all his stick skills to Xi Ruoxuan, and he won't be able to teach him any stick skills anymore. Xu Nian had no choice but to teach her swordsmanship. On this day, they were practicing vigorously, and suddenly a cheering voice came over: "Okay! Good practice!"
Xiruoxuan and Xu Nian were startled at the same time. This voice was too familiar. Could it be that the emperor was here? They turned around at the same time, and sure enough, it was Zhong Yehan who strolled into the courtyard with a few eunuchs.
Xu Nian quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Xu Nian, kowtows to you."
Xi Ruoxuan was a silly concubine, standing blankly, pretending to be at a loss.
Zhong Yehan didn't mind, and looked at Xi Ruoxuan with admiration: "Yes, I just saw that your skills are very strong and decisive, so study hard. If you practice martial arts well, you should also be able to read. Xu Aiqing, How is Ruixuan's recent homework?"
Xu Nian quickly stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the princess's homework is also progressing rapidly, and I can't teach you anymore."
Zhong Yehan looked at Xi Ruoxuan with some surprise: "Oh! Is it true? Then write a few words for me to see."
The servant quickly brought paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Xi Ruoxuan picked up the pen and wrote a few big characters in a very stiff way. This was Xi Ruoxuan's deliberate writing crookedness in order not to expose himself. That's it, Zhong Yehan still Very happy: "Good! It's amazing to make such progress in just a few days."
Xu Nian quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Just as Zhong Yehan was about to say something, Prince Zhong Langyu of Yin County hurriedly ran out of the back room: "Father, you didn't notify me when you came. It's a sin for me to pick you up and come here!"
Zhong Yehan waved his hand: "Those who don't know are not guilty. I haven't seen you in court recently. What are you busy with?"
Zhong Langyu's heart was pounding. He was really afraid that his father would already know about his corruption. He stammered: "No, no, what are you busy with, just reading some books."
Zhong Yehan nodded: "Studying is good! Reading will make people sensible. If a person is sensible, he will not do stupid things, don't you think?"
Zhong Langyu didn't know if there was something in his father's words, so he could only say vaguely: "What my father taught me is that my son will study hard."
Zhong Yehan looked at Xi Ruoxuan's calligraphy: "Lang Yu, Xi Ruoxuan's handwriting is good. Although it is still a little immature, it is very powerful. You should also guide her when you have time."
When Zhong Langyu heard this, he felt a lot more at ease. If my father could say this, I guess I didn't notice it, otherwise he wouldn't let me teach Ruoxuan. If I went in, what would my father mean by saying this? Zhong Langyu cupped his fists and said, "Father, don't worry, I will do it for you."
Zhong Yehan taught a few more words on the spot and asked Xi Ruoxuan to practice, and then watched her practice several sets of stick techniques and sword techniques. Zhong Yehan could hardly believe that a mentally retarded person could have such understanding. If he hadn't known in advance that she was a fool, he would have definitely thought that she was a normal person, or even better than a normal person.
After sitting all morning, Zhong Yehan had lunch at Prince Yin's Mansion again. Zhong Yehan usually liked to go to his son's house and often ate there. In his opinion, this was also a kind of family happiness.
Now that the emperor is here, the food on the table will naturally be richer. Chicken, duck, and fish are a bit vulgar, but seafood and poultry are the protagonists. Xiruoxuan's eyes will light up when he looks at the table full of dishes, wow! So delicious!
Following the emperor's order, Xi Ruoxuan took advantage of the fool's strengths, which is that fools can ignore the rules and eat whatever they like. No matter how disgusting the food looks, others will laugh it off.
Xi Ruoxuan opened his bows from left to right, raised his hands together, and carried out the most classic strategy of steady, accurate and ruthless at the banquet, and basically plundered the delicious food on the table. Zhong Langyu couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly pulled Xiruoxuan: "Can you slow down a little? Look at you, you're like a starving ghost!"
Xiruo Xuanxin said: Oh! Regarding your affair with Yun'er, I haven't settled the score with you yet. You still dare to provoke me. Just wait and see how I deal with you! Xi Ruoxuan scratched her head and thought for a while. Suddenly her eyes flashed and she came up with another bad idea.
Xi Ruoxuan picked up a piece of greasy pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it hard. The piece of pork happened to be greasy, making Xi Ruoxuan's mouth full of oil. Seeing that it was too indecent, Zhong Langyu quickly said: "Look at you, wipe your mouth clean!"
Xi Ruoxuan nodded, then looked at Zhong Langyu, and then at Xu Nian, who was sitting on her left. She made an action that stunned everyone present. Xi Ruoxuan suddenly hugged Xu Nian and kept rubbing his mouth on Xu Nian's. Xu Nian was shocked and hurriedly pushed Xi Ruoxuan away. Xi Ruoxuan held on tightly with both hands, and Xu Nian struggled to get away. Xu Nian was also frightened. His face was so greasy that he didn't even have time to wipe it off, so he quickly knelt down to apologize.
Zhong Langyu was even more furious. He shouted angrily at Xi Ruoxuan: "Xuanxuan, you are crazy, what are you doing?"
Xi Ruoxuan stared with doubtful eyes: "Didn't you ask me to wipe my mouth?"
Zhong Langyu said angrily: "You need a handkerchief to wipe your mouth. Who told you to act like this?"
Xiruoxuan hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "Isn't that what you taught me? Didn't you also use this method to wipe the mouth of the maid Yun'er after you finished your supper that night?"
When Zhong Langyu heard this, he was immediately out of his mind. He quickly covered Xi Ruoxuan's mouth with his hand, and then said to Zhong Yehan: "Father, don't listen to Xi Ruoxuan's nonsense. She is not clear-headed and is talking nonsense."
Xiruo I saw it with my own eyes.”
Zhong Yehan's face suddenly darkened, and he stood up: "Zhong Langyu, follow me to the study!"
