Chapter 294: Springtime Words

Views:

For the two young princes who were well protected by the emperor, court disputes were extremely far away. As soon as they left the capital, they were in high spirits. The fourth prince wanted to get out of the carriage and ride a horse immediately. However, Zhu Ying was watching him closely, so he could only accept his fate, but his little head kept poking out.

He was really tired of the straight and straight streets and alleys in the capital, as well as the palace that seemed tall and magnificent, but was actually gloomy! If Zhu Ying hadn't grabbed his collar hard, the fourth prince would have wanted to roar to express his joy of escaping the cage. He even calculated in his mind when he could persuade his father to come out again next time after leaving the capital for a short stay.

The Third Prince was much more obedient than the Fourth Prince. But even so, he would still peek out from time to time through the curtains opened by the Fourth Prince. It was not until Zhu Ying poked him on the forehead that he suddenly came to his senses and quickly smiled: "Sister Yingying..."

Zhu Ying only has an older brother but no younger brother. She felt that Xiao Cheng, who was adopted by her eldest brother, was extremely rare. When she heard the soft voice, her original intention of bluffing the two of them suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a little regret.

She didn't dare to let the eldest brother come, for fear that with him being so smart, the second brother would not be able to escape... And if the eldest brother didn't come, Xiao Cheng also said that he would study hard at home and would not go out of the city to disturb her and Zhang Shou. Of course, she knew that the bigger reason was that Zhang Shou had deceived Zhu Tingfang with a few words to accompany the little guy who rarely "rested", so as to avoid the eldest brother suddenly coming to Zhao Garden.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince also quickly came to his senses, lowered the curtains and did his job obediently, with a pitiful expression that said "Don't scold me", she couldn't help but poke him on the forehead, and then smiled and said, "You can look outside when you are in the car, but you are not allowed to stick your head out. What if someone recognizes you? You know, most of the people in Banshan Hall like to stay out of the city for two days when they have a day off."

"But aren't they preparing for the division exam this time?" The fourth prince chuckled, his face full of pride. "Ever since they heard that they would be divided into the first, second and third halls, they all had to cram at home. Who can be as leisurely as me and my third brother?"

He had used the idiom very well, and when he looked up with his head held high, Zhu Ying couldn't help wanting to pinch his face. But when she heard what he said next, she immediately put her impulse into action.

"Besides, they are not as hardworking as my third brother and I, nor do they have special tutoring from our father every day like my third brother and I!"

Zhu Ying pinched the soft flesh on the Fourth Prince's cheek with all her strength, and only let go when he cried out in pain. She said with a hint of anger but in fact joy: "You are so ungrateful! Not to mention the Emperor, even among ordinary fathers, how many of them would personally teach their sons? My father only taught my eldest and second brothers martial arts, and he also hired a teacher to teach them how to read. Remember, you two are not allowed to talk about such things carelessly in the future!"

"Fourth brother, I've already told you, don't show off about this!" The Third Prince glared at the Fourth Prince, then whispered, "Sister Yingying, Father has always warned us not to show off. He privately read the books recently published by Grandmaster Ge and Teacher with great interest, and he learned with gusto, so he taught us by the way."
