Chapter 18: plead
The sound of "brother" was as numb as Xu's "my son", and Wen Chi's goose bumps were shouted again.
Wen Chi lowered his head to meet Wen Liang's pleading gaze, and quietly pulled away the hand that was clenched by Wen Liang.
"You can rest assured." Wen Chi said, "I didn't plan to go to the Peach Blossom Banquet at all, let alone in your name."
The Peach Blossom Banquet is the home court of Wenliang and the Fourth Prince Shi Jin. He can't get any good if he goes to the cannon fodder. It's better to be paralyzed in bed and relax. Princess.
After listening to Wen Chi's words, Wen Liang's eyes instantly burst into a color of surprise, he quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and couldn't help hugging Wen Chi.
"Thank you." Wen Liang said with little gratitude, "Brother assures you that my brother will safeguard your reputation."
Wen Chi was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would go to the peach blossom banquet under his name.
But when he thought about it carefully, he remembered that Wen Liang in the novel was attending the peach blossom banquet as Wen Chi, who knew that his performance at the peach blossom banquet was a blockbuster, not only attracted the attention of the fourth prince Shi Jin, but also In the future, he was stripped of his vest by others - fortunately, before his vest was stripped, Wen Changqing had already spread the news that Wen Chi married his brother into the East Palace instead.
In any case, it was Wen Chi who suffered in the end, and Wen Liang, the initiator, seemed to be nothing, and quickly fell in love with Shi Jin, the fourth prince.
Wen Liang didn't know what Wen Chi was thinking. Seeing that Wen Chi didn't speak, only when Wen Chi was still angry, he cautiously said: "The peach blossom banquet is really very important to my brother. You can't go, your great kindness will always be remembered by my brother."
Wen Chi thought that Wenliang's promise was worthless long ago, and he waved his hand with a headache: "Anyway, we have exchanged identities, you can do whatever you want."
Wen Liang felt deeply guilty, and reassured that he would do his best to help Wen Chi in the future, and then jumped out of the carriage with little excitement.
On the way back to the East Palace, Wen Chi fell into a drowsy sleep, and then he felt a lot of energy, and even the psychological shadow left by Wen Chi and Xu's mother and son disappeared. a lot.
Bamboo flute Curie, Ruofang and Ruotao were cleaning, and when Wen Chi came back, the two little girls immediately put down the things in their hands and responded happily.
"Young Master Wen is back!" Ruofang laughed until she could not see her teeth.
"Young Master Wen, is it fun outside?" Ruotao looked forward, "I heard that there are a lot of fresh gadgets in the market outside."
Wen Chi asked them to follow the house, took out two masks from the bag and handed them to them - these two masks were bought when he happened to pass by a small stall after meeting with Lord Yin Yes, both masks were painted with the face of Fu Doll, with snow-white skin, a conspicuous plateau red on the cheeks, and a bun that was combed down between the foreheads, which looked particularly cute.
Ruofang and Ruotao stayed in the deep palace and never had a chance to step out of the palace gate. When they saw these little things in the market, they were both surprised and happy, holding their masks and laughing Can't close your mouth.
"Mine is a female doll." Ruofang pointed to her mask, and then pointed to Ruotao's mask, "Yours is a male doll."
Ruotao loved the mask, played it repeatedly, and gestured on her face. Her voice came out through the mask: "Good boy, I like boy dolls."
Ruofang tilted her head in confusion: "Why?"
Ruotao took off her mask and looked at her, her long eyelashes blocked her eyes, she could only hear her calm tone: "Boy dolls are convenient for doing things."
"Our girl dolls are more convenient to do things." Ruofang snorted in disapproval, turned to Wenchi, and said quite invitingly, "Young Master Wen, you haven't been in the bamboo flute residence these days, slave. Neither He Ruotao is idle, we are making cakes every day, and the cakes we make are getting better and better."
"It's amazing." Wen Chi smiled, not stingy with his exaggeration, "But from tomorrow, you don't have to make it, the cake needs to be refrigerated, and the Bamboo Flute Curie has no ice, so I make too much. easily broken."
Ruo Fang wrinkled her nose: "That's true."
After finishing speaking, Wen Chi realized that something seemed to be missing in the courtyard, and he looked around: "How about peace?"
"The slave does not know." Speaking of Ping An, Ruofang's tone was not so affectionate, and she also complained a little, "Ping An always likes to act alone, and does not tell the slave and Ruo Tao about him. Where did he go, slaves and Ruo Tao are too lazy to care about him."
Wen Chi smiled helplessly, took the gift for Ping'an and went to Ping'an's bedroom to look around, but still did not see Ping's figure, he put the gift on Ping's table then left.
Next day.
Wen Chi was lying on a chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, when he saw Ping An running in a panic.
"Young Master Wen! Young Master Wen!" Ping An ran and gasped, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then panted slightly, "Xiao Shuanzi was fined two times by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ten sticks!"
"Little embolism?" Wen Chi immediately sat up, "Which small embolus?"
"Naturally, it's Xiaoshuan who sent Young Master Wen back to Wen's Mansion." Ping An said, "It was already yesterday afternoon. When the servant came back, I heard that Xiaoshuan was protecting Young Master Wen. With merit, His Royal Highness has rewarded him with a lot of good things, but Xiao Shuanzi said something inappropriate, so he received the twenty sticks."
What not to say…
Wen Chi instantly realized what those words were, and his face turned pale with fright.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Even Xiao Shuanzi was fined 20 sticks by the prince, so he who knew the inside story...
Although Wen Chi doesn’t quite know what the concept of twenty sticks is, it can be seen from the fact that the people at Lau Gui are only one step away from dying after receiving thirty sticks. Come down, it is estimated that it will cost him half his life.
Ping An carefully looked at Wen Chi's face, saw the appearance of Wen Chi's sky falling down, and said after deliberation, "Young Master Wen, what did that little Shuan say to you? His Royal Highness is so angry."
Wen Chi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Ping An did not speak, just bowed his waist and looked at him eagerly.
Ping An was stunned for a moment: "What gift did Young Master Wen say?"
Seeing what Ping An was like, Wen Chi guessed that Ping An had not gone to bed last night. He waved his hand and was no longer in the mood to ask where Ping An went last night, so he said, "Go on, I want to be alone. quiet."
Peace said hello, and quietly withdrew.
It turns out that what should come will come.
Two days later in the afternoon, Duke Zhu and two little eunuchs appeared in the courtyard of Zhudiju.
Eunuch Zhu was still the same, with his hands in his arms, the whisk in his arms, his eyes narrowed, the old **** was standing there, and when he saw Wenchi coming out, he said in a shrill voice: "Young Master Wen After being gone for many days, His Highness the Crown Prince misses Young Master Wen very much, it just so happens that His Highness the Crown Prince is free this afternoon, Young Master Wen should hurry up and go over there."
Young Master Wen wanted to ask if he had received those twenty sticks in the past, but he swallowed the sentence after seeing Eunuch Zhu's cold expression.
In the study, the prince was the same old man, propping his cheeks and closing his eyes for a nap, two little eunuchs carefully pinched his shoulders for him.
After not seeing him for many days, the prince is still so terrifying, and the aura emanating from his body overwhelms everyone in the study.
He thought so, so he did the same, and fell to his knees.
Fortunately, there is a soft cashmere blanket on the floor of the study, no matter how many times I kneel, I will not feel knee pain.
Eunuch Zhu seemed to be startled by his behavior and glanced at him several times.
Wen Chi held a thumping heart and said bravely: "The villain is guilty, and I hope His Royal Highness will punish him."
After a while, the prince's lazy tone sounded in front: "What's the sin?"
Wen Chi said: "It was the villain who was too eager to understand His Royal Highness, so he asked Eunuch Shuan a few times. The villain also knew that if he wanted to understand His Royal Highness, he should ask the Prince His Highness and the villain are getting along little by little, and I can only blame the villain for being too eager and accidentally breaking the taboo of His Royal Highness."
After finishing speaking, Wen Chi buried his head deeply, and the string in his heart was almost tense to the extreme.
It seemed like a long time later, he heard the sound of the wheelchair sliding, and when the prince's lazy tone sounded again, he was close at hand.
"Then tell me." The prince asked curiously, "What did you find out about this palace?"
The cold sweat on Wen Chi’s back was oozing out, he didn’t dare to be careless, he blew the rainbow fart in fear: “The villain thinks that there is a world of difference between His Royal Highness and the villain, His Royal Highness is just like that day The **** above, and the villain is just a piece of grass in the soil, the villain really can't understand how to get the favor of His Royal Highness, until today, the villain seems to be still living in a dream, every time he sees His Royal Highness, Little people feel so unreal."
After saying these words in one breath, Wen Chi had to admit that his rainbow fart skills really grew at a rocket-like speed.
It's a pity that these rainbow farts are of no use to the prince. I think he has heard too much of other people's rainbow farts. After listening to Wen Chi's words, he calmly asked: "Little embolism let you get Are you satisfied with the answer?"
Wen Chi thought for a moment, then tentatively replied: "Maybe it seems like... no."
After he answered with such a strong desire to survive, he heard the prince burst into laughter, and then a cold hand squeezed his chin, forcing him to raise his head.
The surrounding light was bright, Wen Chi squinted his eyes from the stab, and the prince's face was approaching in his line of sight.
The prince raised his hand and screened away the eunuchs and palace maids. Even Eunuch Zhu quietly exited the study and gently closed the door of the study.
"Since you didn't get a satisfactory answer, why don't I tell you?" The prince raised the corner of his mouth, his face was full of arrogant smiles. The face is full of ghostly temptation between light and shadow.
Wen Chi raised his head blankly, frightened into a quail on the spot.
More importantly—
In the corner of his eye, he found that the prince actually stood up directly from the wheelchair...
The author has something to say: Wen Chi: The prince is standing up!
Shi Ye: Can't think of it?
