Chapter 154: Pretending to be pitiful
Meng Xilan reminded him again and again to be careful, but his heart was really big.
Zhou Youchen felt that he was not afraid of Zhou Youwen at all, so he didn't have to worry about anything. It's a pity that Meng Xilan doesn't seem to think like this, she has always been very worried and worried...... Moreover, not only this matter, her mind has always been very heavy, even if it is a simple thing, she will think about it before and after, sometimes it is really like an old man with a lot of thoughts.
Thinking of this, Zhou Youchen couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Meng Xilan's thoughtful face, and said softly: "You are really strange!" ”
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "What did you say?" ”
Zhou Youchen slowly stood up, followed the example of an adult, put his hands behind his back, looked at the drizzle outside the pavilion and said, "Sometimes, I think you are not afraid of anything, and you are very bold...... But sometimes, I think you're afraid of everything! You're really weird......"
After Meng Xilan heard his words, she was stunned for a long time. Unexpectedly, he could actually see her thoughts, and sure enough, the child's eyes see things in the purest, even if it is a complicated mind, he can understand it!
Suddenly, Gao Fuli held the chessboard and chess box, held the umbrella and returned, panting and replied: "Master, the slave is back." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Xilan smiled slightly, and Zhulu hurriedly took out her handkerchief and handed it over, wiping his face.
Gao Fuli shook his head, wiped his face with only his sleeve, and whispered: "Sister's handkerchief is expensive, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and it will be ruined if I use it." ”
After the chessboard was set, Meng Xilan asked Zhou Youchen to go first, he fiddled with the sunspot in his hand, thought for a little and landed directly in the center of the chessboard.
Meng Xilan smiled slightly, raised her head and said, "You are really ambitious." Her white son landed in the upper left corner and dominated the corner.
Zhou Youchen doesn't like others to preach, so Meng Xilan first played a game with him, and then taught while playing, of course, the first thing he learned was the ten tips of Go: "First, don't be greedy to win; Second, the entry into the border should be slow; 3. Attack the other and take care of me; Fourth, abandon the son to be the first; Fifth, give up the small to the big; Sixth, in case of danger, it must be abandoned; 7. Be careful not to speed lightly; 8. Movement must be corresponding; 9. Self-protection; 10. Seek peace from the lonely. The wisdom of the ancestors is endless, think about it carefully, this mantra of chess can also be regarded as the truth of life. ”
Indeed, in her view, the day of rebirth is like another game of chess,
Zhou Youchen continued to fiddle with the chess pieces in his hand, still messing around in the middle, "I don't want to understand so many truths, I only know that if one day I am good enough, even if I can't play chess, no one will dare to beat me." ”
Meng Xilan's hand paused slightly when she heard this, and her eyes fell faintly between Zhou Youchen's handsome eyebrows.
It was the first time she discovered that in his immature body, there were also great ambitions sprouting.
……
Two days later, at Meng Xilan's repeated insistence, Zhou Youchen still went to Cining Palace and apologized to Zhou Youwen in front of the Queen Mother.
She arranged it on purpose, and when Zhou Youwen came to greet the Queen Mother, she asked Gao Fuli to go to Changqing Palace to bring Zhou Youchen over. The bond between the two is not small, and according to Zhou Youwen's temperament, they can't reconcile in private. But this matter can't always be left alone, after all, in the end, it is a brother, and there must always be a brother, at least in front of the elders, put on a good attitude of "brothers, friends and brothers".
According to Zhou Youwen's meaning, this matter can't be left like this. However, in front of the Queen Mother, he was not easy to attack, watching Zhou Youchen raise his chin and apologize to himself, his heart was even more blocked.
Zhou Youwen is usually a master who likes to find faults, how can he let him go so easily today: "Ninth brother, are you apologizing?" Why don't you even lower your head, it can be seen that your attitude is not sincere enough, or you don't take me, the sixth brother, in your eyes at all? ”
Zhou Youchen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he showed a bit of power for no reason, Zhou Youwen's expression stiffened, and he said in his heart: Why does this kid still want to play tricks on me?
Meng Xilan coughed lightly at the right time, and glanced at Zhou Youchen intentionally or unintentionally. Zhou Youchen saw it clearly, sighed lightly, took another step forward, arched his hand at Zhou Youwen again, bowed his head and said: "The ninth brother apologized to the sixth brother, it was me who was wrong that day." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Youwen chuckled lukewarmly, as if mocking.
When the Queen Mother saw Zhou Youchen so obedient, she was very satisfied. After all, it is much better than the previous look of ignoring anyone, and now he can talk and salute.
"You both come here." The Queen Mother beckoned to them and said, "That's how the fight is over." Remember, you are brothers, you should live in harmony, don't fight again in the future, hurt the feelings between brothers. ”
Zhou Youwen glanced at Zhou Youchen and nodded carelessly: "Grandson obeys the teachings of the emperor's grandmother!" ”
Zhou Youchen didn't answer for a long time, as if he was thinking.
The Queen Mother looked at him and asked, "Chen'er, why didn't you reply to the emperor's grandmother's words?" ”
Before he could speak first, Zhou Youwen snatched the words as quickly as possible: "Imperial grandmother, he won't listen to you." ”
When Zhou Youchen heard this, a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the Queen Mother and said: "The words of the imperial grandmother, the grandson has written it down, but the grandson thinks that the sixth brother does not regard me as a brother at all...... That day, he kept calling me a little bastard! ”
Before he finished speaking, everyone's faces changed, especially the Queen Mother, whose whole face collapsed at once.
"Imperial Grandmother...... I'm not a little mongrel...... I'm obviously my father's son......" Zhou Youchen didn't know what was wrong, he suddenly lowered his eyes, and pretended to be very sad, almost so sad that he couldn't even speak.
Zhou Youwen froze in place, full of surprise, he didn't know how to react for a while, and when the Queen Mother glared at him, he instinctively wanted to quibble, and hurriedly pointed to Zhou Youchen's face, and said excitedly: "He...... He is talking nonsense! The grandson didn't say it...... Imperial grandmother, grandson wronged! ”
Where was the Queen Mother willing to believe his words, patted the table and said, "Did you say it?" If you dare to lie again, the mourning family will call all the people present that day, interrogate them one by one, and tell you the truth! ”
Zhou Youwen took a deep breath, knelt down and said, "Imperial grandmother, grandson knows that he is wrong, and grandson is also confused for a while!" ”
The Queen Mother had a calm face, and her thin eyebrows were tightly twisted together: "Bastard!" He is the son of your father and the emperor, and he is your own brother, and if you call him a mongrel, doesn't it mean that you have scolded the entire royal family! With your words alone, even if you let your father kill you, it won't be much! ”
When Zhou Youwen heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head, and his face was red and white, not color.
Meng Xilan was surprised to the extreme, and when she looked at Zhou Youchen again, she felt even more unbelievable when she looked at the slight curvature at the corner of his lips.
When will he be acting too?
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and patted Zhou Youwen's shoulder heavily: "This time the mourning family spared you, and next time, the mourning family will have to make you suffer a little!" ”
Angry is angry, but the Queen Mother still feels more embarrassed in her heart! In the end, the prince who grew up in the palace, how can he not even have a rule to speak? and Zhou Youchen is also a pitiful person, who obviously shouldn't have suffered this wrong, but he endured it for so many years in vain.
Zhou Youwen responded again and again, with this resentment in his heart, but he couldn't swallow it.
Okay, you Zhou Youchen, you will actually beat a rake! You wait, I won't spare you!
When Meng Xilan walked out of the main hall, Zhou Youchen was waiting for her in the courtyard, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, with a smug smile, and asked, "What did I do?" ”
Meng Xilan smiled and couldn't help asking, "What did you do well?" ”
Zhou Youchen stepped forward: "Just now, I made him lose face in front of the Queen Mother." ”
Meng Xilan shook her head a little helplessly: "I really didn't expect that you still have such a ability...... It turned out that he also had such cunning times.
Zhou Youchen's brown eyes were shining: "What ability?" ”
Meng Xilan stretched out her hand and touched his head: "The ability to act." ”
"Huh? Didn't you tell me not to be so stubborn all the time, and to pretend to be pitiful once in a while to protect yourself. Zhou Youchen blushed and said in a serious tone.
He couldn't understand why she was so surprised.
Meng Xilan's heart moved slightly when she heard this, she felt a little warm, and she smiled again, and said lightly: "It would be good if you were always so obedient." But what to do? This time, you and the Liang Zi of the Sixth Highness have become even bigger! ”
Today, I originally wanted to calm things down, and in front of the Queen Mother, I turned over the unhappiness of the two, but it backfired!
Zhou Youchen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then stood on tiptoe slightly, and also reached out to touch Meng Xilan's head, learning her tone and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." ”
Meng Xilan was stunned for a moment, and was about to accuse, but she met his smiling eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally acquiesced.
It's rare to see him smiling so happily, so let him be presumptuous once, just this time.
At this moment, Zhou Youwen, who returned to the East Fourth Institute, was already so angry that he almost smashed everything in the house.
None of the eunuchs and palace maids around him dared to stop him, for fear that one would accidentally get into trouble and become a scapegoat for him to be angry.
After smashing and smashing for a long time, he still felt puzzled, his eyes were horizontal, he looked at the eunuch and palace maid next to him, and ordered: "Clean up for the master immediately." ”
When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and carefully packed it up, not daring to make too much noise.
Zhou Youwen sat down in the chair and rested for a while, his mind kept spinning, thinking, how can I give Zhou Youchen a good look?
"Obviously a little bastard, once favored, I really thought it was a great character!"
When the eunuch next to him heard this, after thinking about it, he stepped forward and patted his ass and said, "The master is right." That Nine Highnesses is just a small character, and he looks like he is powerful, but in fact, he can't compare with the master at all! ”
"Don't be a sycophant, you have the ability to think of a good way for your master!" Zhou Youchen directly raised his foot and put it on the eunuch's body, but he didn't use much force.
"Master, His Royal Highness the Ninth is just a child, and there are many ways to deal with him. The key is that he has Princess Wenning by his side, but I'm afraid it's not very easy to start! ”
Zhou Youwen sneered lightly: "What is she, she is not a ruthless character at all!" If it weren't for the fact that the fourth brother liked her and loved her, I would have made a move to do her early in the morning! ”
Speaking of which, Meng Xilan is really an eyesore, always dangling in front of her eyes, so angry that people's hands are itchy!
