Chapter Twenty-Eight
A small town on the border with Lebanon
"How long will it take?" Xiao Mucheng said lazily
Rogo: "Back to Your Highness, at this rate, I will arrive at the lodging tomorrow evening"
Xiao Mucheng: "It's a little faster than expected, this king sees that it's still early today, Chu Nan, arrange for everyone to rest on their own."
Chu Nan: "Nuo"
Xiao Mucheng turned his head to look outside the sedan chair and said, "The town here is very funny," and got out of the carriage
Rogo: "Isn't Your Highness going to take a break?"
Xiao Mucheng: "It's okay, this king is just walking around at will, and the right is to move his muscles and bones"
The four of them walked on the lively street one after the other, and at this time a young man came to meet him, squinted at Chu Nan, as if he had something to say, but he still didn't say it, and slowly passed by Chu Nan....
Chu Yun stabbed Chu Nan: "Hey, the person who looked at you just now, is it Xu Si?" ”
Chu Nan: "It's him"
Chu Yun teased: "What, don't you say hello?" ”
Chu Nan was expressionless: "What is there to say hello?"
Chu Yun sneered: "You won't still be obsessed with what happened back then, right?"
Chu Nan: "Naive"
Xiao Mucheng: "What, you know that son just now?" ”
Chu Yun: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, the son just now is named Xu Si, and he was a classmate of Chu Nan when he was a child."
Xiao Mucheng: "Since you are a classmate, how can you become a stranger now?"
Chu Yun glanced at Chu Nan, and said in a long voice: "I'm afraid this matter is a long story."
Xiao Mucheng: "Then you will make a long story short"
Hatsuun: "No"
Chu Nan sneered
Chu Yun: "Ahem! This starts with Chu Nan and this Xu Si teaching together as a child, the gentleman in the class came up with a proposition, asking the students to write poems with the title, and in the end, it was Xu Si and Chen Zixuan who were praised by Mr., but Mr. had to ask the students in the class to choose the first place in an anonymous way, and Chu Nan naturally did not choose Xu Si, but chose Chen Zixuan"
Hatsukumo: "But! This Xu Si is still Chu Nan's tablemate."
Therefore, Xu Si poured bitter water with Chu Nan and said: I feel that my poems are not as good as Zixuan, I am afraid that no one will choose me, and asked Chu Nan: Have you chosen me? Chu Nan, his heart was soft, and he was afraid that Xu Si would be sad, so he coaxed him and said that he had voted for him."
"Result" Chu Yun clapped his hand and said: "When the number of votes was announced, that Xu Si...."
Chu Nan's laughter became more and more unconcealable, so that in the end, his voice was a little out of shape, and he endured: "One vote.... None of them."
"You say, what is the expression of Chu Nan, who was six years old at the time, and Xu Si is sitting next to him, if I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it quickly, it's too embarrassing."
Chu Nan: "I was wrong at the time and coaxed him, so since then I will never lie again, not even a white lie"
Xiao Mucheng hid a faint smile: "Chu Nan, I didn't expect you to be so kind when you were a child"
Chu Nan's face was a little embarrassed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't make fun of your subordinates"
At this time, Chu Yun was still laughing presumptuously: "Isn't it funny, why don't you laugh, it's so funny, oops..." Chu Yun covered his stomach and couldn't stand up with a smile.
Xiao Mucheng patted Chu Yun: "Okay, it's almost done"
Chu Yun: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eccentric, if this happens to me, you will definitely laugh at me"
Xiao Mucheng: "You're really right"
Chu Yun said aggrievedly: "You know how to bully me"
Then he said, "In that case, I'll talk about what happened after that."
Chu Nan: "And the follow-up?" Chu Yun, how many troubles are you saving me up?"
Chu Yun tilted his head: "Not long after that happened, Chu Nan's father had a disease, suspected of being contagious, my mother took Chu Nan over to take care of it together, originally wanted Chu Nan to be the same as me, teaching at home, but Chu Nan said that he didn't want to say anything, he had to go back to the previous teacher, as a result, that Xu Si knew about Chu Nan's family, so he preached everywhere in the class that Chu Nan's father had an infectious disease, saying that Chu Nan was also infected, and asked everyone to stay away from him and not talk to him, the children at that time listened to the wind and rain, Since then, everyone has been isolating Hatsunan."
Chu Nan: "How do you know so clearly?" ”
Chu Yun: "At that time, I saw that you were always alone, and I thought it was a little strange, so I went to look for you in class, only to know that you lived such a life, it was Zixuan who told me"
Chu Nan: "So Xu Si was beaten at that time, did you do it?" ”
Chu Yun: "Naturally, it's me, the person who bullied our family, I deserve a lesson"
Chu Nan sneered: "I see that you have not been taught a lesson, you were beaten like that at that time, and when you went home, you said that you fell into the pit"
Chu Yun was proud: "It's all a trivial matter"
Luo Ge: "So this is also the reason why you and that Xu Si are strangers."
Chu Nan: "Now that I think about it, it's all a trivial matter, it's just a joke between children, it's not worth mentioning, it's all over"
Rogo: "But you can't go back"
Chu Nan: "Yes, I can't go back, my classmates are childhood playmates again, but in the end they are strangers"
Chu Yun: "It should be a stranger, this kind of person has stabbed you in the heart, and you still hope that you can reconcile with him?" It's beautiful to think about, look at what kind of eyes he just looked at you, and I get angry when I think about it."
Xiao Mucheng: "Chu Yun is right, no matter how much you let go of reconciliation when there is an estrangement, it can't be the same as before."
Chu Yun: "See, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said so, what else do you have to regret?"
Chu Nan: "Chu Yun, I warn you not to do bad things secretly behind my back in the future"
Chu Yun hid behind Xiao Mucheng, and said proudly: "Do I still have to be sneaky in my affairs, I will teach him a lesson above board, and next time he does something sorry for you, I will still teach him a lesson."
Rogo: "Okay, you two are thinking about each other, so you can't say a good word"
Chu Yun: "Listen to Commander Luo's words, don't be anxious with me at every turn, why are you not in a hurry with others, you will know that you can follow me"
Chu Nan: "If you weren't my cousin, I wouldn't bother to care about you"
Hatsuyun: "Huh"
Xiao Mucheng smiled and didn't speak
Luo Ge: "Your Highness, I received a letter from the secret guard, which said that Miss Tu Qin disappeared on the fourth day after entering the country of Lili"
Xiao Mucheng: "Lost?" ”
Rogo: "Yes, the subordinates are not doing well"
Xiao Mucheng: "I can't let the secret guard lose it, I'm afraid this is not something ordinary people can do"
Luo Ge: "The secret guard followed Miss Tu Qin all the way Su Mo is fully aware, it is a little unreasonable to get rid of people at this time, I think someone is interfering"
Xiao Mucheng's face was solemn: "Within three days, we must find out the origin of this matter"
Rogo: "Yes"
Away from the Palace of King Loei
"Second Highness, I heard that the prince of Wuqingguo will arrive tomorrow, and the reception banquet will be arranged the night after tomorrow."
"Got it, you step down"
"No"
It was the second princess who left Li Guo who spoke, and I saw that she was holding a scimitar in her hand, her face was a little gloomy, and she didn't know what to portray...
"Second Highness, do you want the painter to pass on a portrait of the prince of Wuqingguo?" It was the second highness's personal maid Yuzhi who spoke
Second Highness: "You will be able to see real people the day after tomorrow, what other portraits to see"
Gardenia: "It's the slave who has a lot of mouths"
Second Highness: "The Japanese Princesses will meet him in person"
"Second Highness, let's think about the homework assigned to you by the queen, if you can't finish it, the queen won't let you out of this house for half a step" The person who spoke was the personal guard of the second highness, whose name was Chu Wen
Second Highness: "This princess is really ill-fated"
Chu Wen: "Second Highness, don't complain, if you start doing it now, you can still catch up with the reception banquet of the prince of Wuqingguo the day after tomorrow."
Second Highness: "Then there will be Lao Chu Dianwei" After saying that, he handed the pen and paper to Chu Wen
Chu Wen: "I'm afraid I can't finish it"
Second Highness: "This princess doesn't care, you have to complete it, and if you can't finish it, you have to complete it, this is the princess's order"
Chu Wen said helplessly: "It's not His Royal Highness who is ill-fated, it should be me."
Second Highness: "Okay, you all step down, don't disturb Chu Dianwei's hard work"
Maiden: "No"
Chu Wen: "Second Highness, in fact, this prince of Wuqingguo can still be seen the day after tomorrow if he can't see the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to be in a hurry."
Second Highness: "You're right, this princess also thought so before, but since Chu Dianwei thinks that this homework can be completed before the dinner the day after tomorrow, this princess must fulfill you" After speaking, he looked at the mountain of scriptures
Chu Wen: "I dug a big hole for myself when I co-authored"
Second Highness: "Who said it wasn't?"
Maid's courtyard outside the hall
Gardenia: "You say, this second highness was doted on by the queen when he was a child, he was afraid that she would be cold in winter and hot in summer, and he would never blame her for making mistakes, since His Royal Highness the eldest princess moved to Hua Zeque to receive the teachings of the emperor, the queen punished the second highness, and never relented, and I don't know what is going on"
Maiden 1: "Yes, I heard the old palace maid say that the queen treated the eldest princess when she was a child like this, and everyone didn't understand at that time that the two princesses were twins, why should they be treated so differently, as if the eldest princess was not her own."
Maiden 2: "What are you kidding, the two princesses look so similar, how can they not be biological"
Maiden 1: "So it's even weirder"
Gardenia: "What's even more strange is that the eldest princess moved to Hua Zeque, and the second highness, who has always been loved, has been treated like this again, do you say it's because there is a problem with this princess palace?"
Maiden 1: "Don't talk nonsense, it sounds weird and scary"
Gardenia: "I have followed His Royal Highness since I was a child, I remember the day Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sent her to Hua Zeque, Her Royal Highness had a high fever at night, and after waking up, some things I couldn't remember clearly, and my temperament I think is a little different from before, since then the queen's eyes have changed when she looks at Her Royal Highness, and that look is a little familiar."
Maiden 2: "Familiar? ”
Gardenia: "Yes, that look seems to be looking at the person you hate, not like looking at your own daughter, the queen looked at the eldest princess the same way before, don't you think it's weird"
Maid 1: "No, there are really unclean things in this princess palace?"
Maiden 2: "Don't scare me"
Gardenia: "I was still young at the time, I don't remember very clearly, maybe I thought too much"
Maiden 1: "What is the queen doing to the eldest princess now?"
Gardenia: "Since the eldest princess was sent to Hua Zeque, where can we people outside know about the words and deeds inside, even the eldest princess's personal maid is difficult for us to get close to say a few words."
Maiden 1: "What Sister Gardenia said is"
Gardenia: "Okay, it's not early today, let's rest early" and blew out the lights
Main hall
Second Highness: "Chu Dianwei, I've worked hard for you today" and walked out of the main hall
Chu Wen: "After so many years, I'm used to it"
Chu Wen alone imitated the handwriting of Erdian and copied the mountain-like scriptures
After a while, His Royal Highness returned, holding a boxy wooden box in his hand
Chu Wen: "What is this?" ”
Second Highness: "Naturally it is something useful to you" After saying that, he opened it, only to see the exquisite words engraved inside, Chu Wen touched it lightly, and it was actually mobile, and each text could be extracted separately
Second Highness: "How is it, is it something useful to you?"
Chu Wen said in surprise: "This text is engraved every day by His Royal Highness Er."
Second Highness: "Then are you really the princess who is carving blindly" said and took out a Chu character and then took out a text, put it in the template, gently swept a layer of ink with a brush, buckled on the rice paper, when the second highness took the template away, the word Chu Wen on the rice paper has been clearly printed on the top
Chu Wen was even more surprised: "Second Highness is really ingenious"
Second Highness: "Okay, let's start, every word is the handwriting of this princess, and the queen mother will not make a mistake"
Chu Wen: "If the queen carefully reads the scriptures copied by His Royal Highness, she will find that some of them are not from the hands of His Royal Highness, and the queen must not have read the homework handed in by His Royal Highness."
Second Highness: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, with this word mold, no matter how much you copy the scriptures, the princess will not be afraid"
Chu Wen: "Your Royal Highness doesn't have to worry so much"
Second Highness: "This princess naturally knows that the queen mother's mind is not on this princess, so you have the right to relieve our boredom ourselves."
Chu Wen: "Okay, then let's start"
Second Highness: "Let's get started"
Chu Wen: "The carving technique of the Second Highness is really amazing"
Second Highness: "Okay, don't shoot the sycophants"
Chu Wen: "Nuo"
