In Prince Jin's Mansion, each courtyard has its own name.
The small courtyard where Shen Liang lives daily is called the Gentleman's Courtyard. It was chosen by his mother, Yin Su'e, in order to teach Shen Liang to be a gentleman and not a villain.
There are eighteen maids in the Gentleman's Courtyard, headed by the four maids of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. They are thin, fat, and have different looks. All of them are proficient in at least one "technical job". They can be said to be the best among the maids.
As for the four people, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, they were trained by Yin Su'e since childhood. They are familiar with every detail of His Highness Shen Liang's life, and they have also firmly tied their hearts to Shen Liang early on.
If it weren't for the irreversible status gap between them, these four maids could really be called Shen Liang's childhood sweethearts. The five of them grew up almost together, and they were at the age when young people's hearts are secretly attracted. It is said that they are more interested in Shen Liang. If you don’t have any thoughts, it must be impossible.
As for Shen Liang...
In his previous life, he was the owner of a very beautiful woman. Although he would not do anything outrageous, now he has four pieces of fragrant fat hanging around his mouth all day long, and it is inevitable to touch and scratch her.
After shying away from Xiao Ju with a few words, Chu Shile took the big peach from Shen Liang's hand, and then dragged his fat and flexible body of 300 kilograms all the way to the well in the courtyard.
Fetching water, scooping water, and washing peaches were completed in one go. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.
Immediately, the two brothers sat down at the stone table. Chu Shile, who couldn't restrain his foodie nature, took a big bite of plump and juicy peach. After swallowing it, he was satisfied, and then he freed his mouth and said to Shen Liang:
"Brother Liang, the prince has announced that no one is allowed to participate in your coronation ceremony, so I didn't go up the mountain today. You can't blame me in your heart."
Shen Liang gnawed on the peach carelessly. He had no idea about the age of eighteen and the crowning ceremony in today's era.
After all, when he was eighteen years old in his last life, he just had a drinking party with a few comrades who were close to him. In the era of Aquablue Star technology, no one could be as observant of many etiquette and rules as they were in the ancient Daxia Dynasty. So heavy.
"Okay, I know how you feel. It's a good thing if you don't complain to me."
Chu Shile waved his hands repeatedly, even though he knew he was pretending to be scared, his acting skills were still amazing.
"What the hell! I, Chu Shile, will consider you, Brother Liang, my big brother for the rest of my life. I can't blame you even if I blame my father!"
Shen Liang joked upon hearing this.
"Oh? My feelings are more important to you than your father?"
Chu Shile's chest thumped loudly.
"This is not necessary! Brother Liang, if you don't believe it, just ask me to slap my father in the mouth. I promise not to say anything, I will go back and slap him in the mouth immediately!"
After saying that, he stood up from the stone bench, his face serious, and he could only give an order calmly.
Shen Liang believed that Chu Shile could do such a thing, and even more believed that if Chu Shile really did it, his father Chu Youcai would not kill him with a stick.
Because Chu Youcai is smarter than Chu Shile.
Shen Wanjun also told Shen Liang that the Shen family owed favor to the Chu family in the early years.
Therefore, Shen Liang, who appears to be eighteen years old, but is actually nearly fifty years old in his two lifetimes combined, knows very well the attitude of the Chu family towards the Shen family.
"Sit down, why are you slapping your father when I have nothing to do?"
Chu Shile regained his smile, took another big mouthful of peach, and said vaguely:
"What about that, Brother Liang, I brought the gift and I'm waiting outside the gate. How about we go take a look?"
Shen Liang subconsciously wanted to get up, but then he thought that there were two annoying people waiting for him outside the gate.
"Didn't you meet anyone at the door when you came?"
Chu Shile was confused.
"No, it's just my car."
"That's the one who arrived later."
Shen Liang muttered in a low voice, and Chu Shile was puzzled.
"What arrived later?"
Only then did Shen Liang explain.
"Do you remember the two people who fought with us yesterday?"
Chu Shile nodded immediately.
"Remember, one is called Chu Qi, and the other is his henchman Yang Fan."
After answering Shen Liang's question, Chu Shile reacted immediately.
"Is it possible that they are here?"
Shen Liang nodded.
Chu Shile thought for a moment and made his own assumptions.
"Brother Liang, do you think they are the children of a family that is engaged in business and are officials? They came to the palace to serve as pioneers on the orders of their parents, trying to establish a relationship with the prince or something?"
Until this moment, Chu Shile had not noticed the secret hidden in the sachet on Chu Qi's waist and his surname.
Shen Liang rolled his eyes angrily, and replied in a confused tone to Chu Shile:
"In Great Yan Jiuzhou, all the people who are doing business or serving as officials may come to the Jin Palace to seek further advancement, but Chu Qi is the only one who does not need to have anything to do with my family."
Before Chu Shile could ask further questions, he felt a sense of calculation in his heart, and he stood up and said:
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's go and see what these two people are planning."
The two brothers walked all the way to the gate of the palace. At the same time, Yang Fan, who was accompanying his master to be exposed to the sun, could no longer restrain his inner mania.
I just heard him pointing at the gate of the palace and yelling with restraint.
"This King of Jin is so lawless! In the past, I thought the dissatisfaction of the officials was exaggerated, but now it seems that it is even worse!"
"Sir, Yang Fan believes that after returning to the court this time, no matter what the outcome is, we must seriously discuss the matter with the emperor, otherwise we will not be able to swallow this bad breath!"
No matter how well-cultivated Chu Qi's temper is, after the two days' experience yesterday and today, he can't help but feel annoyed.
After all, he is also the biological son of the dignified Emperor Dayan, and is expected to inherit the throne and create a century-old prosperous age for Dayan again.
If his dream comes true in the future, and he sits on that sky-high position, and he is rumored to have waited outside the gate for more than an hour when he comes to Jin Prince's Mansion, won't he lose all his beauty and make a big joke? !
For a moment of silence with a gloomy face, Chu Qi groped around on his body for a moment, and finally pulled off the sachet from his waist, threw it to Yang Fan and ordered:
"Knock on the door again. If Prince Jin's Mansion still refuses to receive you or me, I will pass this sachet to Prince Jin!"
Seeing that his master was finally going to explode, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel secretly happy and let out a long sigh of relief.
"yes!"
Holding the golden dragon token representing the royal family, Yang Fan was confident, leaping up the steps instead of two steps, and knocked hard on the palace door.
"A distinguished guest is coming! Welcome him quickly!"
In less than a blink of an eye after he finished speaking, the door of the palace was opened from the inside.
The person who appeared was a middle-aged man, wearing the clothes of a butler, his surname was Wu, he was one of the many butlers in the palace, and he was considered to have a small status.
Butler Wu smiled and repeated his previous words to Yang Fan:
"Two young masters, the prince is resting on Chao Mountain, and His Highness is still taking a bath, burning incense and reciting Buddha's words devoutly. If you two can't wait, you might as well find an inn to rest for a while, and then..."
"Our young master has been waiting in front of the gate for more than an hour! If you don't ask Shen Wanjun to come out to greet you this time, the Jin Palace will suffer disaster!"
Yang Fan interrupted Butler Wu rudely, and when Butler Wu heard Yang Fan's rude words, his face instantly darkened.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you make such arrogant remarks on the border of Jinzhou?!"
"The end?"
Yang Fan's face turned gloomier, and he sneered with a strong sense of sarcasm.
Without saying a word, he turned his full anger into a slap and slapped Butler Wu hard on the face!
"Snapped!"
"Tell you what, you little slave! This is what you'll end up with!"
