Chapter 10: This Prince is Going to Climb on the Roof!

Therefore, what she said was a bit too clear in drawing a line.

It seemed Wang Xiuyi also wasn’t willing to marry him, and thinking so, he couldn’t help but feel even more guilty.

Wang Xiuyi seemed to gradually understand, slapped her forehead, and said repeatedly, “Ah, that’s right, that’s right, I almost forgot, look at my temper, the ninth day of the third month, right? I will definitely be there! We’ll chat more then. I’ll go back and teach that kid a lesson first. Farewell, Shen Zhejiang!”

Shen Zhejiang said, “Walk slowly.”

Watching the two figures of Wang Xiuyi dragging Wang Chengming away, Huai Wen worried for his master with a frightened heart, muttering in a low voice, “This Wang girl is too fierce, what will Master’s future days be like?”

Shen Zhejiang heard him and turned his head, leaving him with a sentence: “Nosy.”

“This humble one knows his mistake.”

It would be better for Master to marry His Highness the Crown Prince…Pooh! How could Master, as a man, marry the Crown Prince?

Huai Wen was rambling in his mind.

Shen Zhejiang boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and was about to bow his head and enter, when he saw Huai Wu’s twisted expression, and said in a flat tone: “Return to the residence.”

–

The Imperial Study in the palace.

Wu Kun Emperor threw the last memorial onto the desk, the candlelight flickering, reflecting his tired dragon face.

Hai Sanqing entered the door holding a rosewood tray, on which was a cup of calming tea. Because His Majesty worked hard day and night, he had not been at peace for many days.

“Your Majesty, rest first.”

Wu Kun Emperor picked it up without saying a word, but before he could even take a sip, he thought of the annoying Xiao Zhinian and asked, “Has the Crown Prince calmed down?”

Hai Sanqing didn’t dare to hide anything and answered truthfully, “News came from Yanqing Palace that His Highness is still throwing a tantrum, clamoring to see Grand Tutor Shen.”

“Bang!”

The teacup fell on the desk, and the splashed water stained the Xuan paper beside it.

Wu Kun Emperor scolded, “He only knows Shen Zhejiang, never doing anything serious all day long. Does he even remember that he has a father likeI the emperor! If the country falls into his hands, it will be ruined sooner or later!”

Hai Sanqing immediately knelt on the ground, lowering his eyebrows and saying, “His Highness is young and his thoughts are not yet mature. In two days, when Grand Tutor Shen marries the eldest daughter of the Minister of War’s household, His Highness will definitely understand Your Majesty’s good intentions and focus on court affairs.”

“Ifzhen, I the emperor didn’t only have him as a son, when would this country of ten thousand miles be his to inherit? I would have sealed him off and let him go as far as possible! Stop getting in I’s (zhen, I the emperor) way!”

“Back then, the Empress suffered a difficult labor, and Your Majesty felt sorry for her, unwilling to let her suffer the pain of childbirth again, so you favored His Highness.”

Hai Sanqing understood the Emperor’s intentions and knew that he was only speaking out of anger.

Mentioning the Empress, Wu Kun Emperor finally calmed down, leaned back in his chair, slowly exhaled a breath, and said again, “Forget it, get up. It has nothing to do with you. zhen, I the emperor failed to teach him well, which led to today’s outcome.”

Hai Sanqing hunched over his old back, and while getting up, he said, “It was His Highness who asked Your Majesty to appoint Shen Zhejiang as his teacher that led to today. How can Your Majesty blame yourself?”

“Tell me, was zhen, I the emperor agreeing to the Empress Dowager’s request to keep Shen Zhejiang back then a blessing or a curse?”

Wu Kun Emperor looked blankly at a beast-shaped giant furnace in the center, smoke curling around it, as if asking Hai Sanqing, but also as if asking himself.

It was really difficult to comment.

Hai Sanqing silently lowered his head, knowing that he absolutely could not say a word at this time.

Not getting a response, Wu Kun Emperor was not annoyed. His dull voice echoed in the Imperial Study again: “The Shen family’s crimes are unforgivable. zhen, I the emperor still can’t understand why the Empress Dowager only kept Shen Zhejiang? Over the years, zhen, I the emperor has also investigated his background, but found nothing.”

“…” Hai Sanqing glanced at Wu Kun Emperor out of the corner of his eye, and seeing his displeased expression, he pondered and changed the topic, “Since Your Majesty dislikes Shen Zhejiang, why not take this opportunity to banish him from the Capital City? In three or five years, His Highness will also grow up and will eventually forget about this person.”

“That’s easier said than done. zhen, I the emperor keeps him under I’s (zhen, I the emperor) nose to keep an eye on him, because zhen, I the emperor is afraid that he harbors ulterior motives. He’s secretly investigating the truth about the Shen family, and he thinks zhen, I the emperor doesn’t know?”

This won’t do, that won’t do either.

Wu Kun Emperor pondered for a moment, picked out a memorial in front of him, and spread it out.

“The Minister of Personnel reported that the Governor of Wu Xizhou unfortunately died last month, leaving a vacancy. It’s perfect to let Shen Zhejiang fill the position. Send more people to keep an eye on him, and the Ministry of War as well.”

Hai Sanqing stretched out his hands to take the memorial and said, “Yes.”

–

At the same time, the Eastern Palace was in chaos.

“Liu Bao! Open the door for this Prince!”

Xiao Zhinian shouted until his throat was dry in the palace, but still no one opened the door for him.

No one knows a son better than his father.

Wu Kun Emperor knew that Xiao Zhinian had many tricks up his sleeve. In order to confine him, he even ordered people to seal all possible openings with nails, surrounding him with layers upon layers of guards, so that even a fly couldn’t fly in.

Taking advantage of the changing of the guard, Liu Bao squatted secretly outside the door, which was locked with an iron lock, and while anxious, he persuaded, “Your Highness, don’t blame this servant. This servant can’t open the door either! There are so many people guarding outside. Your Highness, please listen to this servant’s advice, spend these days peacefully, and then apologize to His Majesty properly.”

Xiao Zhinian kicked the palace door and said, “Where did this Prince go wrong? Why should I apologize? Go tell Father Emperor, if he wants this Prince to lower my head, he’s dreaming! Does he think he can control this Prince like this? Liu Bao, the Grand Empress Dowager dotes on this Prince the most. Quickly ask her to save this Prince!”

“Your Highness has probably forgotten that the Empress Dowager and the Empress went to Guanhai Temple two months ago to cultivate and pray for blessings. They are not in the palace.”

“When will they return?”

Liu Bao hesitated and said, “…It’s hard to say. Usually, it should be half a year.”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhinian frowned even deeper. It was too late. It seemed he had to rely on himself.

“Go, go, go! His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to approach Yanqing Palace. You little eunuch, stay away!”

The returning guard saw Liu Bao approaching the Eastern Palace suspiciously and immediately drove him away in a rough voice.

Liu Bao was anxious and blurted out all the pent-up words, “Your Highness! Just let go of Grand Tutor Shen! You can have any male favorite you want, tall, short, thin, fat, whatever you choose. Why must you be obsessed with enduring the humiliation of being under Grand Tutor Shen’s crotch?”

His words were shocking.

The guards who heard this gasped and looked at each other.

The corners of Xiao Zhinian’s mouth twitched: “Shut your dog mouth!”

It wasn’t Liu Bao’s fault.

Ever since he witnessed Shen Zhejiang pinning Xiao Zhinian under him that day, he felt like the sky had fallen.

He thought that it shouldn’t be like this. How could His Highness be the one on the bottom? Grand Tutor Shen looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind. It was impossible for His Highness to be unable to beat Grand Tutor Shen!

Whenever he recalled this incident, Liu Bao would wake up from nightmares, exclaiming that it was absolutely impossible!

Xiao Zhinian was at his wit’s end. Without the Grand Empress Dowager to support him, he could only think of a way himself.

Last time he was confined, he escaped through the window. This time, even the window cracks were sealed tightly with wooden boards, leaving him no way to go.

In that case…

Xiao Zhinian thoughtfully raised his head and looked at the roof.
