Chapter 83: Summer Vacation
Upon learning of this, Emperor Jingwen even came up with all kinds of conspiracies.
Seeing that the chestnut horse was carrying the two people faster and faster and farther away, in addition to a few guards, even the commander-in-chief who had not used force for a long time came to chase them personally. No matter whether it was the little grandson or his younger brother, the prince did not want to see them get into trouble, so he showed his true skills in a hurry.
Then came the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince… At the very end, seeing that they could not catch up, Emperor Jingwen almost got on the horse himself.
Although he had been emperor for so many years, Emperor Jingwen’s riding skills had not declined at all.
As a result, as soon as he jumped onto his horse, everyone in the convoy knelt down.
Taifu, He Xiang and his men almost threatened to die, which made Emperor Jingwen very angry.
The combination of various factors has led to the current situation.
The journey, which was originally supposed to take nearly an hour, was shortened by nearly half in one go.Several guards tried their best to catch up and were almost exhausted. Several princes, including the crown prince, had eyes that were almost spitting fire. After such a torment, even the commander-in-chief felt that his old illness was coming back.
Emperor Jingwen drew aside the curtain and came out. After seeing the remaining excitement on his son’s face, how could he not understand what had happened?
Watching his stepfather’s face turn ashen, Ye Shuo took a deep breath and waved his hands hastily, “Wait a minute, father! Wait a minute! Listen to your son’s explanation!”
He really didn’t mean it this time!
Ye Shuo is now like a little lamb surrounded by a pack of wolves, pitiful and helpless.
However, how could Emperor Jingwen trust him again? He immediately ordered several guards around him to hold him down and started to attack him.
How could the current Emperor Jingwen still look as confident as he had sworn before that he would never beat his children?
He threw all the ideas about using force being the lowest way to educate children out of his mind.
Emperor Jingwen finally discovered this. He knew that he couldn’t teach his son any better, so he might as well give him a beating. At least he could vent his anger and feel better.
He is so tough, I don’t think he can be broken.
So there was the following picture——
“I told you to run! I told you to run around!”
“Swish, swish, swish”, the rattan branches danced wildly.
“It would be fine if you were running around by yourself, but you even brought Xun’er with you!”
“Swish, swish, swish”, the frequency of the waving of the rattan became faster and faster.
Ye Shuo could never have imagined that the fried pork with rattan that he didn’t get to eat in his previous life would be made up for in this life.
The most important thing is that even his mother didn’t help him this time. It was obvious that Concubine Rong was also scared by him just now.
Hiss–
My cheap dad didn’t keep his word. He said he wouldn’t hit the child! But it turned out to be bullshit!
After a cup of tea, Ye Shuo covered his buttocks, wanting to cry but without tears.
After being beaten, it was the Sixth Prince who carried him back in the end.
After all, his stepfather was the emperor and rarely beat his children. Seeing Ye Shuo screaming so miserably, he didn’t dare to do it, so he just beat him with an ordinary or even lighter whipping with a rattan stick, and Ye Shuo was not seriously injured.
Ye Shuo felt quite embarrassed being carried by the Sixth Prince like this. With the Sixth Prince’s small physique, Ye Shuo was really afraid that he would get hurt from the exhaustion.
It’s hard for him to not get angry after being tossed around like this. Maybe this is the kind of person who does big things, just different from other people. Feeling a little touched, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Ming, when you are old, I will carry you like this too.”
The Sixth Prince stopped and wished he could just throw the dead child away.
Tell me, why do you feel so soft-hearted towards him?
The Sixth Prince suspected that at that moment, his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
Just now when he was whipped by his father with a cane, he looked quite miserable indeed. But when I put him on my back, everything changed. His true appearance was revealed all of a sudden. He no longer looked as miserable and choked as if he was about to faint.
He recovered in an instant, and the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but sneer: “I’m only five years older than you.”
“When I get old, how young do you think you can be?”
Ye Shuo leaned on his shoulder and sighed: “But, my health is better than yours.”
Ye Shuo felt worried when he thought about the Sixth Prince’s current physical condition.
No matter when the other party came, and what he was thinking now, as long as he was not too excessive, Ye Shuo was not willing to care and hoped that the other party could live well.
But all along, the Sixth Prince never took his words to heart.
“I’m telling you, if you keep going like this, you’ll die young.” Even the Fifth Prince thought he was weak and bullied him, but as the person involved, he didn’t have this awareness. Ye Shuo could only remind him again and again.
I didn’t expect that when I carried him back with good intentions, he cursed me to die early!
The Sixth Prince couldn’t hold it in any longer, so he took a deep breath and threw his brother down directly.
“…Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!” Fortunately, Ye Shuo had quick reactions and good balance, otherwise he would have really succeeded.
Ye Shuo was quick to move and quickly grabbed the tree next to him.
“I think you’re fine. If you’re so capable, just go back by yourself.”
After giving him a blank look, the Sixth Prince shook his sleeves and walked away angrily.
Tsk, how could there be someone who refuses to listen to advice?
Ye Shuo had no choice but to call his attendant: “Quick, quick, Xiao Luzi, come and help me.”
Xiao Luzi hurried forward and supported his master’s arm in time. He really couldn’t hold it back any longer, so he reminded him in a low voice: “Master, don’t do this next time.” It was so annoying.
Ye Shuo frowned: “Wow, even you want to teach me a lesson.”
“I dare not!”
“You know nothing, I’m doing this for his own good!”
Alas… I really can’t do anything…
After looking at the direction where the Sixth Prince left for a while, Ye Shuo lowered his eyes, and finally left.
“Forget it, forget it. I’d better go back and have some sleep.”
After three days on the road, although he could sleep in the inn at night, it was not very peaceful. In addition, the clothes he wore were thin in summer, and Ye Shuo’s buttocks and calves were beaten with a rattan stick, which caused burning pain. He urgently needed to rest.
It happened to be cool in the garden, so Ye Shuo lay there for three whole days.
In fact, it wouldn’t take that long to recuperate, but Ye Shuo had no choice but to leave the bed in the garden because it was so comfortable.
The garden manager received news in advance that the Emperor and all the ladies would be coming, so the garden manager started making arrangements half a month in advance.
Each room was cleaned thoroughly, and the carpets, utensils, and furnishings inside were also wiped clean in advance.
Not to mention that his mother had already had the necessary things delivered in advance, including antique vases and embroidered screens, all of which were exquisite items, and their luxury was not much different from that of Qiuwu Palace.
As for the custard mat under Ye Shuo, it was icy cold. It was said that it was captured by his grandfather during the war. There are no more than five of them in the world. One of them was handed over to the late emperor. I don’t know if the one handed over to the late emperor was because his stepfather thought it was not clean or what, so it was never used. The other one was the one Ye Shuo was lying on.
The production of Ya mats was too cruel, and these five mats were strictly banned after the Three Kingdoms period, so they are considered out of print.
Women are prone to coldness, and seeing that her son is afraid of heat, Concubine Rong laid out the unused dining mat for Ye Shuo.
Ye Shuo felt a little awkward at first. After all, he had never used such contraband in his previous life. Later, he felt better after learning that it was no longer allowed to be produced.
During these three days, Ye Shuo lay in bed until his bones became weak.
On the third day, Ye Shuo was revived with full health. Just when he was about to start his wonderful adventure in the garden, Emperor Jingwen seemed to have foreseen something. Before Ye Shuo even went out, Wang Ziquan came over and blocked him.
“Ninth Prince, please come with me.”
Ye Shuo: “…”
My cheap dad is really good at sending secret guards to monitor my movements.
Concentrating and observing carefully, Ye Shuo noticed some movement on the tree branch and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Speaking of things like climbing trees, isn’t this a compulsory course for secret guards?
I haven’t seen my cheap master Wu Yi for such a long time. I don’t know what he is doing or whether he is still with my cheap father.
Just when Ye Shuo was thinking about something, Yuqianzhai, where Emperor Jingwen was handling government affairs, was already in sight.
“Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please come in.” Wang Ziquan blocked the back, completely cutting off Ye Shuo’s escape route.
Why are these people guarding against him like a thief?
Ye Shuo had a sullen expression on his face. He had no choice but to give up his plan to escape. He lifted the curtain and walked out.
Later, Ye Shuo discovered that there is no such thing as the most excessive, only more excessive.
Looking at a small table placed in the corner of the room, Ye Shuo was stunned.
I always feel that this location looks very familiar…
So… what does cheap dad mean by this???
Ye Shuo looked up suddenly, but saw that Emperor Jingwen was not in a hurry and didn’t even look at him. He just said, “Hurry up and sit down. That will be your seat in the future.”
Emperor Jingwen decided to keep a close eye on his son. He didn’t believe that even with the current situation, he still couldn’t let his son learn something.
Ye Shuo turned his head and saw the prince who was under his adoptive father nodded to him and called him “Xiao Jiu”. He looked a little helpless and shook his head, indicating that he could do nothing.
God knows how shocked the prince was when he heard his father’s decision.
You know, Yuqianzhai is where my father handles government affairs!
The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, who have now begun to attend court to discuss state affairs, do not have this treatment.
However, this kind of blessing… whoever wants it can take it, okay? !
It would have been fine to just give him a separate table, but when Ye Shuo saw Lord Cen and the Grand Tutor sitting next to him, one on each side, Ye Shuo could no longer hold back.
Who wouldn’t feel annoyed by this kind of treatment?
Ye Shuo stood up and said righteously: “Father, I think it’s unfair for you to treat my fifth and sixth brothers like this!”
Normally, I’ve never seen this little bastard get so close to the fifth prince.
“Oh?” Emperor Jingwen was unmoved: “You don’t have to worry about this. Your fifth and sixth brothers don’t need a teacher to supervise them. They just know how to study on their own.”
Among all the princes, only this little bastard is unyielding.
It’s not just Lord Cen and the Grand Tutor, but also Prime Minister He and the others. If one teacher gets angry and runs away, then we’ll replace him with the next one.
Emperor Jingwen thought that he had many ministers under him, and even more of them were knowledgeable, so he had to put the knowledge into his brain, even if he had to force it!
Even Ye Shuo couldn’t control himself when he saw his cheap father like this and shuddered violently.
God, so cruel!
