Second replace of the day~ 

Jiuzhu had a sense that Qi Junwangfei may harbor some huge misunderstanding about herself. She simply casually glanced at Qi Junwang earlier than they left, however the look in Junwangfei’s eyes appeared to point that she thought Jiuzhu would devour him. 

Once they left, she was really itching to hide Qi Junwang along with her petite physique.

She, Jiuzhu, was an upright one that grew up in a Daoist temple. She didn’t eat individuals.

“Your Highness.” Jiuzhu rubbed her drained eyes and tossed Qi Junwangfei’s misunderstanding of her to the again of her thoughts and informed Chen Wang: “I’ll see you off.”

“Neglect it.” He glanced on the sleepy lady who couldn’t preserve her eyes open. “Return and get some relaxation. Ben Wang can go on his personal.”

“Nope. We already determined that I might accompany you to the gate.” Jiuzhu strode ahead and turned again to take a look at him. “Let’s go ah.”

“Decelerate, there’s a flight of steps forward.” Chen Wang noticed her standing by the steps and rapidly went as much as maintain her sleeve. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll allow you to see me off.”

It might be troublesome in case she fell and began sniveling in entrance of him.

“Niangniang.” Xiangjuan requested Su Guifei in a low voice: “Ought to this slave go and see His Highness off?”

“Are the lanterns hanging above shining brightly?” Su Guifei requested her.

“Sure, brightly.” Xiangjuan nodded.

“That’s proper.” She stretched lazily. “Let’s return and sleep.”

Why hassle with the affairs of the younglings?

“Your Highness.” Jiuzhu was woke up by the chilly wind as quickly as she stepped outdoors. “Watch out on the best way.”

“Don’t fear ah.” Chen Wang glanced on the sedan chair that had been ready outdoors for a very long time. “You return and relaxation.”

“En.” Jiuzhu beamed on the smiling prince in entrance of her.

Watching as he mounted the sedan chair and left, Jiuzhu leaned towards the palace gate. Her eyes have been misplaced in thought as she gazed on the lanterns hanging from the eaves.

At first, she solely needed His Highness and niangniang to be nicely, with out another wishes.

However now, why was she offended at him?

From the sedan chair, Chen Wang regarded again for a second; the lady stood on the palace gate with none motion.

Just a few moments later, he couldn’t assist however look again once more. The lady was nonetheless standing there, dazed.

“Cease.” He regarded on the rising evening fog and jumped off the sedan, strolling again with huge strides.

“Your Highness?” Jiuzhu stared at Chen Wang standing in entrance of her once more, progressively coming again to her senses. “Why did you come again?”

Noticing the sluggish look on the lady’s face, Chen Wang’s coronary heart softened. “Fall asleep early. Tomorrow morning, Ben Wang will come choose you as much as go to the Zhangliu Palace.”

He was solely leaving for one evening however this little guniang was already so uneasy. He actually couldn’t do something about her.

Jiuzhu stared at him blankly.

“Return.” Chen Wang crossed his arms over his chest. “Ben Wang will go away when you go up the steps.”

Jiuzhu turned and walked in direction of the palace gate, took a couple of steps and turned again. His Highness continues to be there.

She was afraid that he would preserve standing, so she lifted her skirt and jogged all the best way up the steps earlier than turning to take a look at the gate.

“Ben Wang is leaving.” Chen Wang waved his hand casually and turned again. He took a step ahead however then veered round to take a look at her. “Don’t stand there in a daze. Return and sleep instantly, obtained it?”

Jiuzhu nodded.

He smiled in satisfaction, his black cloak drawing a swish arc within the evening.

If she was so clingy now, what would she be like sooner or later after they obtained married? Wouldn’t she turn out to be his little tail?

“Your Highness.” The eunuch bowed and requested Chen Wang, who was sitting within the sedan chair. “Are you going again to Zhangliu Palace?”

“No.” He regarded in direction of the path of Taiyang Palace. It was not removed from the Mingyue Palace. He may even see the lights nonetheless lit in the principle corridor there. “Go to Taiyang Palace, Ben Wang needs to satisfy Father Emperor.”

After going by means of the final memorial, Emperor Longfeng was about to go away for the Mingyue Palace when he recalled that his Beloved Consort needed to spend time with the Ming household’s little guniang and didn’t wish to be disturbed. He sighed and determined to go sleep on his chilly dragon mattress.

“Your Majesty, His Highness Chen Wang requests an viewers.”

“Duqing needs to see zhen?” Emperor Longfeng was perplexed. Coming to satisfy him so late… did he have a battle together with his brothers?

“Let him in rapidly.” Emperor Longfeng thought for a second and informed Liu Zhongbao: “Have the palace maids tidy up the aspect corridor. Chen Wang will sleep right here tonight.”

The gap between Taiyang Palace and Zhangliu Palace was not brief.

“Sure.” Liu Zhongbao accepted the command and retreated. Ever since he ascended the throne, it appeared that solely Su Guifei and His Highness Chen Wang had stayed in a single day within the Taiyang Palace.

What stunned Emperor Longfeng was that after his son got here in, he neither complained nor requested for cash. As an alternative, he took the initiative to speak about Hongwen Academy and the snowstorm in Youzhou.

Though a few of his concepts have been nonetheless a bit immature, seeing his son, who was often solely considering consuming, consuming, and having enjoyable, lastly exhibiting concern over vital issues, Emperor Longfeng felt immensely gratified.

Even when he have been introduced with a heap of memorials now, he may end reviewing all of them in a single day.

“The Minister of Justice is previous and has already submitted three petitions to resign. Who do you suppose ought to take over his place?”

“Though Minister Chen, the Minister of Appointments, likes to threaten with knocking his head and dying on the slightest disagreement, he’s truthful, upright and simple. He can be an acceptable individual to go the Ministry of Justice.”

The Ministry of Justice dealt with the legal guidelines and sentences of your entire nation. Solely somebody truthful and upright may deal with the place of its chief.

“However what in regards to the Ministry of Appointments if he’s transferred to the Ministry of Justice?” Emperor Longfeng continued to ask.

“Father Emperor has forgotten somebody.” Chen Wang believed that there was an individual who was appropriate for the place of Minister of Personnel.

“Who?” Emperor Longfeng checked out his son with a smile. 

“Ming Jinghai.” He cleared his throat. “Erchen just isn’t attempting to advertise the Ming household ah. Ming Jinghai is certainly probably the most appropriate candidate.”

“Very nicely.” Emperor Longfeng checked out his son with satisfaction. “As a superior, one should perceive how you can appoint the suitable individuals in the suitable locations. Even a tailor is aware of how you can minimize garments in response to the body1Cut garments in response to the physique [量体裁衣] – It’s an idiom which means to behave as per precise circumstances.. A monarch is the tailor of the world. If there’s a mistake within the stitching, those to undergo would be the widespread individuals. It’s good that you would be able to mirror on their particular person capabilities and character.”

He took two appointment letters and handed them to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang opened them and noticed one letter appointing Minister Chen because the Minister of Justice, and one other appointing Ming Jinghai because the Minister of Appointments.

“You have got made nice progress not too long ago.” After they completed discussing official issues, Emperor Longfeng’s tone relaxed. “If I had identified that getting you betrothed would encourage you to attempt more durable, I might have had you marry earlier.”

“It’s not that straightforward to discover a spouse.” Chen Wang touched his nostril. “Son just isn’t within the different guniangs of the capital.”

“Oh?” The Emperor checked out him with a smile that was but not a smile. “Evidently Ming guniang caught your consideration?”

This time, going through Emperor Longfeng’s teasing, Chen Wang didn’t retort as typical.

“That little guniang from Ming household is simply too harmless, delicate and foolish. She believes every thing erchen says and dares to eat something erchen gives. Erchen even suspects that in case somebody ridicules her, she won’t notice it.” He spoke phrases of disdain, however his expression turned more and more mild. “With Father Emperor and Mom Consort’s safety, it doesn’t matter if erchen acts foolishly as earlier than. However erchen can’t let such a naive little guniang marry him and lose her pleasure and innocence due to being damage by rumors and slanders.”

“Simply the considered it feels… fairly insufferable.” He sighed, holding a cup of soothing tea. “No less than, after she turns into erchen’s Wangfei, others gained’t suppose she married the incorrect individual every time they see her.”

Simply the considered Ming Xiaozhu’s completely happy smile fading away little by little made him really feel terribly suffocated.

“She shouldn’t lack something that the opposite Wangfei-s have.” He took a sip of the tea. Though they hadn’t gotten married but, he had already considered how Ming Xiaozhu would get together with the sisters-in-law sooner or later. “She must also have what others don’t have.”

“It isn’t straightforward to attain all of that.” Emperor Longfeng chuckled. “To turn out to be a prince praised by the multitude, you must study so much. Are you not afraid of getting to work laborious?”

“Afraid. After all, I’m afraid.” Chen Wang sighed. “However as a person, I can’t let a naive and cheerful guniang flip gloomy and depressed after marrying me.”

“No less than… give it a attempt.” He uncovered the teacup and gulped down every thing as if he had made up his thoughts. “Please educate erchen, Father Emperor.”

“Do you actually like that little guniang of the Ming household?” Emperor Longfeng requested in a seemingly careless tone.

“What ‘like’?” Chen Wang picked up his teacup to drink once more, solely to understand that he had already completed the tea. “That is… a person’s accountability.”

Emperor Longfeng smiled, not exposing his son’s thinly veiled lies. 

If a person is prepared to do issues he as soon as didn’t wish to do for a lady, is it actually not for love, however for the sake of fulfilling his manly duties? 

“En.” Emperor Longfeng nodded. “Zhen’s son ought to naturally tackle the obligations of a person.” 

He introduced over a thick stack of books and positioned them in entrance of Chen Wang. 

“Father Emperor, what is that this?” 

“Historical past books.” Emperor Longfeng smiled. “Future generations should study from historical past. The sufferings of predecessors ought to turn out to be classes for his or her descendants in order that they don’t repeat the identical errors.” 

“However…” Chen Wang opened certainly one of them and confirmed Emperor Longfeng the contents. “Those you gave me are the biographies of emperors.” 

“En, most emperors have been princes earlier than they ascended the throne.” Emperor Longfeng patted his shoulder. “Zhen believes that my son can study many classes from them.” 

Chen Wang checked out him doubtfully. Actually? 

Emperor Longfeng nodded, although it could require laborious work and be tiring, Zhen believes in you. You’re the most succesful youngster. 

Lastly, Chen Wang carried the thick stack of historical past books and went to the aspect corridor of the Taiyang Palace. Even in his goals, there have been piles of books threatening him with bullying Ming Xiaozhu and making her cry if he didn’t learn them correctly. 

The following morning, Chen Wang awoke from his dream in a daze and spoke to Liu Zhongbao, who was ready outdoors the mattress’s cover. 

“Liu gonggong, have somebody are available to assist Ben Wang change his garments.” 

“Your Highness, it’s nonetheless early. Would you wish to sleep slightly longer?” Liu Zhongbao was stunned. His Highness really awoke so early at the moment? 

“No extra sleep.” Chen Wang obtained up from the mattress and placed on his boots. “I’m going to Mingyue Palace later.” 

Liu Zhongbao walked in with another eunuchs and assisted him in preparing. 

“Your Highness, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to the harem at the moment.” Liu Zhongbao helped Chen Wang comb his hair. “Ning Fei of Lanxu Palace made an enormous blunder, however contemplating that she gave beginning to a prince, His Majesty solely revoked her title, demoted her to a meiren and moved her to the Qianyi Pavilion.” 

Qianyi Pavilion, a spot within the harem tacitly often known as the Chilly Palace. 

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. Mom Consort took motion so rapidly? 

“His Majesty additionally stated that if Your Highness has any doubts, you may accompany this previous slave to the Dragon Guard’s dungeon.” Liu Zhongbao fastened the jade guan on Chen Wang’s head and retreated to the aspect with a smile. “Your Highness is likely to be considering some issues.” 

He took out a thick stack of papers from beneath his garments and introduced them to Chen Wang. “His Majesty and Guifei niangniang have each learn the contents.”

Chen Wang took it from his hand however didn’t open it instantly. “Why are you giving this to me?” 

“His Majesty stated that Your Highness has already grown up.” Liu Zhongbao smiled. “The very first thing a father wants to make sure for the expansion of his son is to not conceal something.” 

Chen Wang opened it and noticed densely packed details about the Dragon Guard’s inner affairs, the secrets and techniques of the imperial household, some deployment of spies, in addition to…”

He closed it abruptly, took a deep breath, and checked out Liu Zhongbao, who had been smiling all alongside. 

This was not a father’s try and not conceal something from his son. It was clearly serving to the shoots pulling them upwards2Helping the shoots by pulling them upwards [揠苗助长] – Because of this Emperor Longfeng is impatiently pushing him to do issues! 

Was this even one thing an single prince ought to be ?!
