The back garden of Jiangxia Prince's Mansion was extremely lively, comparable to a court meeting in Yuan Dynasty.
I saw a group of richly dressed dignitaries of the day standing on the rockery in the garden, watching this seemingly crazy young prince running in circles around the small lake. They pointed and talked.
An old man in rich clothes squinted and stroked his snow-white beard and kept praising: "This young prince is so heroic and majestic, he is really extraordinary!"
"As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit, with a leaping dragon and a tiger, and with an extraordinary appearance, he really has the style of his father, Prince Jiang Xia!" Someone else praised him with a thumbs up.
"That's right! That's right! This young prince has both the heroic spirit of his father and the suave and suave temperament of his mother, Langya Wang. Speaking of which, the young prince and I are actually cousins?"
"Bah, I'm really not ashamed. I'm the Langya Wang family. Didn't you claim to be the Taiyuan Wang family back then? I guess you're a pretty cool guy!"
"..."
Finally, someone raised an objection: "You are just talking nonsense. You think that I come all the way to visit you, and it is so unsightly that I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
But more people chose to remain silent, with different expressions. But they all understood that this thinly dressed young prince did have a mental problem.
Who has no choice but to hide by the fire without dressing warmly on a cold day, but instead runs circles around his backyard over and over again.
Another wave of discussion comes from those who were previously neutral.
Someone whispered: "The rumors are true! Today I finally saw it is believed."
"If the emperor were to die suddenly due to an accident, wouldn't the whole world be surrendered to this fool in vain?"
"It's not like the previous dynasty has never had a fool emperor. If this is the case, sooner or later the power will fall to the side."
Finally, someone reminded: "Everyone, be careful what you say, or you may be killed."
"..."
Qingliu, a noble nobleman with a little bit of character, couldn't stand it any longer. They walked away with hatred. They were not willing to spend their time watching a fool run around in circles.
Finally, someone slapped the thigh with no bottom line: "I know! This young prince turns out to be a member of the same group. He must have taken Wu Shi Powder and is taking it here! Let's make an appointment to take it together if we have the chance." Ah."
Manager Cui stood next to these dignitaries and kept shaking his head. This Jiangxia Prince's disgrace was really thrown all over the capital. Walking on the street, he was half a head shorter than the servants of other houses.
"Boss, is this young prince so lively every day?" someone asked in a long voice.
Manager Cui hurriedly looked back and saw a fat man who needed two people to support him, questioning him.
"Yes... our young prince is like this every day, keeping fit day after day... hehe..." Cui Guanshi replied flatteringly, lowering his arms.
"How long will it take for this to happen!" The fat man yawned, "I have to go home and rest."
"That's... that's... Mr. Lu, please go away... the young prince will definitely come to your door someday..." Butler Cui said with a smile on his face.
"That's not necessary. I'm afraid he will make my house a mess." The fat man named Lu was finally taken away by two servants.
Manager Cui breathed a sigh of relief.
And when he saw that more and more people were bored watching the young prince running around, he turned around and went back to the palace. The palace, which was originally as lively as a market, gradually became deserted.
Originally, there were a few people who wanted to stay and flatter them, but they couldn't resist Butler Cui's "kind words" and left the palace.
It was almost noon, and Xiao Yu raised his legs on the spot and came to Cui Guanshi's side.
"Everyone left?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Hey...young prince, what are you doing! You must know that some of these people cannot afford to offend. Those noble families...In the previous dynasty, the dethronement of the Sima family emperor had a lot to do with them. Even How could Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of Da Qi, have replaced the former Song Dynasty so smoothly without their acquiescence?"
"I ran away from me. Whether they are happy or not is their business." Xiao Yu said indifferently, "Now that they have seen what kind of person I am, I think they will not come again in the future. "
"My lord, please allow me to say a few words."
"Say it!"
"The longer I stay with you, the more confused I become... You... you are obviously gifted and see things clearly, but you do everything out of line. What are you doing this for?"
"Don't you all say behind your back that this young prince is a fool?"
"Young ones don't dare..."
"Let me tell you, this young prince has his own reasons for doing things. Manager Cui, just do your job well. There is no need to inquire about anything else." Xiao Yu said.
"Hey...if Prince Jiangxia comes back one day and sees you like this."
"Don't worry, my father won't blame me if he comes back." Xiao Yu said lightly, "Manager Cui, I will only tell you why I run a few laps every day, and don't ask me again in the future. .”
"Why is that?" Manager Cui asked, sticking his butt out.
"The secret of life is exercise. If you eat and drink all day long, if you don't exercise, the energy will be converted into fat. When I reach your age, I will have high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. How can I get it? I still want to know more. How many years to live.”
Cui Guanshi was confused by what he said. He thought for a long time and still didn't understand what the young prince meant by what he just said.
"Manager Cui, prepare the bath water. This young prince has to take a bath and change clothes."
"Yes..." Manager Cui nodded quickly and replied.
…
It has become a customary thing in Mingfeng Pavilion to prepare bath water for the young prince at noon.
Xiao Yu had just walked into the bedroom after bathing and changing clothes, and saw Qingxue had returned here.
"The young prince really doesn't care about his body at all, and went running around the lake in thin clothes." Qingxue said angrily.
But her hands kept moving, and she picked up a bowl of fragrant soup from the table nearby.
"I originally drank it when you returned to the pavilion, but I didn't expect you to take a bath first. The hot soup became warm soup, but it can't help you get rid of the cold."
"Qingxue is still the best." Xiao Yu took a few sips of the soup, "This ginseng soup is good, but the only drawback is... MSG."
"What is MSG? My little prince, you said something incomprehensible again." Qingxue thought for a while and asked, "Have those people left?"
"Well, it really took a lot of effort on my part. I usually only run ten or eight laps around the lake in the backyard when exercising. Today I actually ran twenty-five laps. It can be considered a forced march. But Finally got rid of all those people." Xiao Yu said with a sigh.
"Young prince, is this another strategy of hiding?" Qingxue asked.
"Hehe... Qingxue, you are much smarter than Manager Cui."
Qingxue chuckled at this moment, "How can I, a slave who serves my master, compare with the steward in the mansion?"
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and sat on the couch beside him.
"Qingxue, do you want me to make friends with those dignitaries? They squeezed in through the cracks in the door today."
"I don't know, but I know that the young prince must do things the way he does."
"Well, I'm just talking to you... As soon as the Emperor issued an order to restore my title to the Prince of Jiangxia, a group of flies came after smelling the smell. Did they come to befriend me just to get to know another fool? Do you want to? I'm sure not. They want to get acquainted with the royal relatives who are favored by the emperor. It will be more beneficial to them in the future if they can get involved. It just so happens that I took advantage of them today... In less than three days, I think Rumors about the actions of a foolish prince will be spread throughout the capital with added fuel and jealousy."
"This slave probably knows what the young prince means." Qingxue smiled slightly, "This is the young prince's strategy of keeping things secret."
"If I make friends with those noble families, princes and ministers at this time, then my death will be approaching..."
Xiao Yu sighed. Xiao Yuheng was treacherous and suspicious. What he wanted was a fool, or someone who "self-defiled" and disappointed those who were watching, not an imperial brother who would have the strength to compete with him in the future.
Isn't his journey of Tao Hui over yet? If you want to survive, you need to be careful every step of the way... The person in Jiankang Palace will not really let go of his murderous intention towards him.
Qingxue looked at Xiao Yu. The restrained and calm look in her eyes made her sigh. The young prince was really thoughtful, but this meticulousness made his life very tiring. Why wasn't he a real fool?
Even though he is a fool, she likes him from the bottom of her heart...
