It is really absurd to think about it. His Highness the Crown Prince, who was once inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, now has to please a chicken to please an unfavored beauty.
There is only one reason. This beauty's surname is Chen, and she is the niece of the Queen Mother. If you please her, the Queen Mother's route will be half successful.
But the second prince was not happy. He smacked his mouth sleepily and said confusedly: "Why do we want to catch insects?" It was so early in the morning and he was still angry after getting up. So why should he be asked to catch insects like this?
Cen Xijin sneered and opened his tightly fitted quilt, letting the warm air inside leak out: "Can't you get up? Have you forgotten what you swore to say last night?"
The second prince didn't speak, but just stared at her with a resentful look, as if he had said last night that he would study hard and strive to regain his title as prince...
"But what does that have to do with catching bugs?" Could it be that by catching bugs, he could become a prince again?
"That's not possible. But whether we can live comfortably during this period of time really depends on those bugs." A second-class palace maid died in Jianxian Palace last night, and she was rewarded with eighty yuan by His Majesty. Beaten to death.
Cen Xijin was also worried about whether the bunch of wallflowers in the harem would take this opportunity to come and cause trouble and add insult to injury.
Seeing that the second prince's eyes were slightly blank, he didn't know whether it was because he really didn't understand, or because he was too sleepy and wanted to sleep. Cen Xijin sighed and had to explain to him patiently: "Your father doesn't care about you anymore, you have to have something." A backer, right?"
"Is Chen Meiren considered a supporter?" The second prince admitted that her beauty was extraordinary, but her...her weird temperament from raising chickens and pigs didn't seem to suit his father's taste, right? Can such an unpopular woman be the supporter of His Majesty the Second Prince?
"Don't forget her last name!" From Emperor Xianxi's harem to Emperor Zhengxing's harem, although Empress Dowager Chen did not receive much favor, she was a woman who stood firm in both dynasties and never fell. Maybe she has never had any sincere emotions in her life, but at least she has never suffered any big losses in her life.
Although, this time, Concubine Sun made her stumble quite a bit.
But she is still the Queen Mother and His Majesty's mother.
The second prince subconsciously put his fingers into his mouth to pick his shaky teeth, rolled his eyes and thought for a while: "You mean, on the surface, we rely on Chen Mei, but in fact, the real supporter is the imperial grandmother? "
Cen Xijin smiled and said nothing.
She just wants to teach him how to think!
Although the things she taught the second prince were all the tricks of women, she couldn't help it. Who made the Jianxian Hall full of palace maids and eunuchs? In this case, he could only be "born in the deep palace." "It's longer than a woman's hand."
She could only hope that in a year and a half, when the second prince reached his age, he would be able to choose a good member of the clan as his companion and go to the Imperial Academy to study together.
That's when he learned his true skills!
Cen Xijin was just a psychological counselor in his previous life. At most, she could mobilize his enthusiasm for learning and then develop his thinking ability. In other aspects, she really couldn't help.
The second prince lowered his head sadly: "Okay."
He said this, but he was muttering in his heart, huh, aren't you just trying to please people? Still a beauty.
In this regard, the second prince prides himself on being very good at it. In the past, the queen mother always said that his mouth was sweet, as if he had been smeared with honey.
Because of Chen Meiren's strange appearance before, Cen Xijin also heard some information about bugs from her mouth.
It's winter, it's still so cold outside, and the bugs have already filled their stomachs and hid in their caves to wait for the spring that will come soon.
Therefore, it is better to catch insects in the house.
The second prince nodded repeatedly when he heard this. It was so cold outside, and he wouldn't want to go outside to "hibernate."
After a few sticks of incense, he realized that it was better to catch insects outside.
The Jianxian Hall was thoroughly cleaned yesterday, but not a single insect was found in the house.
Cen Xijin wondered in her heart whether all the bugs in the house had been eaten by Huayi, otherwise she wouldn't have even seen a shadow!
After a lot of twists and turns, I finally found a cellar cover in the side room on the left, with signs of being tampered with!
I see.
Every year in the first two to three months of winter, insects will burrow in swarms to build their nests in dark and wind-proof places such as stone caves, vegetable cellars, empty houses, and livestock sheds.
There is probably no one moving in the cellar of Jianxian Pavilion. This kind of warm, humid and bacteria-rich place has naturally become a paradise for bugs.
As luck would have it, Chen Meiren, who likes raising chickens, came to the palace, and their good days came to an end.
Although there were traces of movement on the cellar lid, Cen Xijin observed carefully and found that no one had been in the cellar, and Huayi only ate the insects on the edge of the cellar.
"Hey, Your Highness, let's go down and have a look." Cellar, this is a cellar. Cen Xijin beamed when she thought about it. She felt so excited. She had only seen this magical and interesting place on TV series!
"No." The second prince categorically slapped away Cen Xijin's hand that was tugging on his clothes.
"Go down! There are probably a lot of insects in there!" There may be others. Cen Xijin's eyes lit up and he laughed.
"No!" The second prince glanced at her with disgust. How many insects could she be so excited? What kind of woman are these? No wonder it's so ugly.
Cen Xijin only paid attention to the little meatball at this moment, so he turned around and looked at him with a sly smile, and joked in a sinister way: "Hey, are you scared? Is the son of a dignified emperor also afraid of this?"
"I'm not... I'm not afraid!" Humph, he will never be fooled, never be fooled, never be fooled.
Cen Xijin nodded with a smile, as if agreeing with something: "Tsk, tsk, it turns out he is a coward!"
The second prince glared angrily, put his fists on his hips and argued with him: "I'm not a coward!"
"I said 'turns out' that I was a coward, but I didn't say that you were a coward. Why are you so anxious?" Cen Xijin narrowed his eyes, looking as cunning as a fox, and his soft and soft voice rippled back and forth at the entrance of the cellar. , "But if you say you are not a coward, then you have to prove it to me."
She not only wanted to see him learn to use his brain and think, but she also wanted to see his courage.
It doesn't matter if a person is not smart, but he must have three things: a strong body, perseverance, and the will to move forward.
"But……"
The second prince suppressed his blush, and paced back and forth, rubbing his hands, and then quietly took a look at the dark hole. Hey, why are his legs a little weak?
Huh, he doesn't like this "Sister Jin" anymore, not at all. She always likes to push him.
"Don't you dare? Just one word!" Cen Xijin decided to force him.
