Chapter 234: Daily Life

Ye Shuo originally wanted to resist, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Emperor Jingwen. As for the result of the imperial physician’s pulse diagnosis, it was naturally that the Ninth Prince was in good health and had no problems at all.

So he doesn’t understand at all…

Emperor Jingwen had never thought that as an emperor, he would have to worry about these things. How could he feel comfortable doing this?

But Emperor Jingwen really couldn’t help but worry about it, so after thinking about it, Emperor Jingwen’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince grew up with Xiaojiu since childhood. If there are things that are inconvenient for him to do in person, it is the same to ask the Sixth Prince to do it.

The Sixth Prince understood what his father meant almost immediately, and his smile froze.

No, what does this have to do with him? He, he can’t ask!

For a moment, the originally serious atmosphere in the Qinzheng Hall suddenly changed. In the end, it was Ye Shuo who spoke first to break the weird atmosphere.

“By the way, Dad, you called your son here, is there something you want to tell him?”

Ye Shuo spoke very casually, as if he was talking about daily life, but this seemingly ordinary thing was something the Sixth Prince could never do.

It’s not that the Sixth Prince couldn’t get over it, but being cautious and polite would never be wrong, while being casual might lead to being convicted. Reward and punishment were just a matter of his father’s decision.

Emperor Jingwen had already gotten used to it by now and didn’t think it was a big deal, so he put aside his doubts for the time being. It just so happened that Emperor Jingwen had been sitting for a long time and felt a little tired, so he took this opportunity to walk outside and told him something.

“You stay and review these memorials. Your brother and I will go for a walk in the Imperial Garden.” Emperor Jingwen said this as he stood up.

Watching the two people leave, the Sixth Prince looked at the pile of memorials in front of him. While feeling happy, he couldn’t help but feel a little complicated.

well…

What else can I do?

It was near noon, and the sun was shining brightly outside, making people feel warm all over. Emperor Jingwen kept on giving instructions as he walked.

“Now that you are married and an adult, you must learn to be more stable and not act like a fool like before.”

“You have to know how to get along well with the princess. When you have nothing to do, don’t just think about playing. Go to your brothers’ homes more often, especially your sixth brother’s.” Being in the royal family, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not deep. If they don’t keep in touch frequently, I’m afraid that soon even the last trace of friendship will be gone.

Ye Shuo is free every day and can come to the house at any time. Moreover, the families live close to each other, basically on the same street, but the problem is that his brothers may not be happy with it…

In this regard, Ye Shuo was quite self-aware and really didn’t dare to offend Xiao Ming, especially since he only had that one son. Since the trip to Zilu Peak, he had been guarding against him like a thief. How could he dare to let him get close?

Seeing his youngest son’s face hesitant to speak, Emperor Jingwen, who also thought of this, couldn’t help but be silent. After a while, Emperor Jingwen said: “If it doesn’t work, you can pick up the job of the Ministry of Works again-“

Before Emperor Jingwen finished speaking, Ye Shuo’s head was shaking like a rattle. He had to report on time every day and go to court before dawn. Who could stand this?

Ye Shuo has been idle for so many years. Isn’t it like asking him to go to work all of a sudden?

“Dad, my brothers are all so capable. Having one less son won’t affect the family affairs at all.”

This child is too simple-minded. He has never thought about the future. He has never thought about what he will do after he is gone!

Seeing that his youngest son was still so heartless, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but sigh. Then he couldn’t help but suddenly said, “Have you ever thought about what you will do after I am gone?”

This was the first time that Emperor Jingwen raised this issue directly without any reservations.

Ye Shuo didn’t think too much about it, and subconsciously said: “Wouldn’t it be better if Dad didn’t leave?”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

This damn kid, can he control this matter? If there is a choice, can he just let it go when he wants to? He still wants to stay on the throne as everyone in the world says, long live the emperor!

My youngest son’s mind is so simple and scary.

Emperor Jingwen should have been angry at his youngest son’s somewhat silly answer, but he really couldn’t get angry.

Besides, what he said was right. The best solution to this problem was for me to live longer. As long as I lived one more day, I could protect him for one more day.

This child is really worrying.

I am already in my fifties, and I still have to think of ways to clean up his mess every day. It is not worry-free at all. Thinking of this, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but feel annoyed again.

But the matter was not over yet. After enduring with great difficulty, Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and continued to ask, “If the weather is not good, what if this day really comes? Have you thought about how to arrange it?”

It’s good to have a cheap dad in power, but if there is really no other way, then we can only…

“Then son can only look for the Sixth Brother.”

Dad is gone, so I can only look for my brother. This was something Ye Shuo had thought of from the beginning. Although the brother he mentioned before was the crown prince and now became the sixth prince, it didn’t make any difference overall.

The moment he finished speaking, seeing his youngest son’s matter-of-fact look, Emperor Jingwen could no longer hold back.

“You have no ambition, get out of here, get out of here!”

At this moment, Emperor Jingwen was really annoyed even if he looked at him any longer.

Why is my cheap dad getting angry again? And he was the one who asked the question first…

Ye Shuo was almost driven away by Emperor Jingwen.

“Dad, you can lose your temper, but please don’t let it get you in trouble!”

Seeing his youngest son looking back every few steps, Emperor Jingwen gritted his teeth and said, “Get away!”

The emperor clearly knew that the Ninth Prince was a hopeless case, but he still couldn’t control his anger. Wang Ziquan, who was standing by, had already gotten used to it.

After Ye Shuo’s figure completely disappeared, after a while, feeling a discomfort in his heart, Emperor Jingwen took out a heart-protecting pill and swallowed it with ease.

In recent days, His Majesty’s heart attacks have become more frequent. Wang Ziquan couldn’t help but feel a little worried: “Your Majesty…”

“Don’t worry… I’m fine…” How could Emperor Jingwen rest assured when his youngest son was in this state?

Moreover, he had just married and had no children. How could Emperor Jingwen dare to die like this?

He didn’t need to worry about the affairs of the court now, but he couldn’t rest assured until his youngest son could establish himself.

“I have to hold on…”

Before he knew it, beads of sweat covered Emperor Jingwen’s forehead. When the pain in his heart was no longer so intense, he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Then, Emperor Jingwen said, “Don’t tell the Sixth Prince about this. If I find out who leaked the news, watch out for his head!”

The attendants, who were originally very nervous, felt their hearts tighten immediately when they heard this.

“yes.”

The other side.

When Ye Shuo walked back, a layer of worry appeared in his eyes.

My father’s health is getting worse. A few months ago, he could still walk around most of Beijing, but now he is out of breath after walking a few steps. It’s like a dam corroded by ants, and it will collapse completely at any time…

Just when Ye Shuo was thinking about something, as soon as he entered the room, he saw that the three people in the room had unusual expressions on their faces.

Yao Zhi’s face turned red and she looked extremely embarrassed, Jianjian was confused and at a loss, and as for his mother… his mother’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but blink.

Seeing that she still looked innocent, the Imperial Concubine took a deep breath and said, “Come in with your mother.”

After all, this is a matter between a young couple, shouldn’t the Imperial Concubine keep it behind closed doors?

Ye Shuo instinctively felt that it was not good, so he subconsciously looked at Yao Zhi who was standing beside him. Without waiting for Yao Zhi to help plead for mercy, the Imperial Concubine took him into the palace without saying anything.

With a “dong” sound, not only the maids and palace servants, but even Jian Jian and Yao Zhi were locked outside the door.

When there was no one around, the imperial concubine dropped the cane in her hand on Ye Shuo’s calf. Ye Shuo couldn’t help but scream.

“Mom, what are you doing!”

“What are you saying about me!”

After glaring at the little bastard fiercely, the imperial concubine took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and said, “You are courting death! You have just got married, and you are so reckless! A girl, with a delicate body, how can she bear such torment from you.”

Perhaps it was because her son was too energetic, and the Imperial Concubine couldn’t bear to think of ruining his health.

In an instant, Ye Shuo understood what happened and subconsciously said, “Mom, listen to my explanation!”

“Okay, you explain.” The Imperial Concubine was not completely unreasonable, but there must be a legitimate reason, right?

Yes, Ye Shuo suddenly remembered, how should this matter be explained?

Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine couldn’t help but sigh: “Since you are sincere in asking for marriage, I won’t say anything, but you don’t treat her well after marrying her. What do you want to do?”

As a mother, she may not care about the background of her son’s wife, but she cannot watch him continue to act like this.

“Mom just wants to ask you, do you really like me?”

“Of course!”

The Imperial Concubine thought that there was something wrong with her education, but she didn’t know if it was too late to remedy the situation now.

“Since you really like her, you should learn to consider her. Even though this girl is bewitched by you now, as a person who has experienced this, I have to remind you here. Don’t think that you are a prince or a king and you can squander the sincerity of the girl you like. If you do too much, I am afraid that you will regret it, too late.”

A woman’s sincerity is limited. The imperial concubine was afraid that he was too young to understand the importance of it, and would regret it when he lost her, ending up with a miserable old age.

He was young and proud, and his parents spoiled him too much, so it was inevitable that he didn’t know how to cherish things and didn’t know that he needed peace in the family, which was the only way for him to live a comfortable life.

Over the years, the Imperial Concubine has seen so much in the palace.

“Mom, I know what I am doing.” Ye Shuo also knew that his mother was doing this for his own good, but the situation here was difficult to explain clearly, so misunderstandings were inevitable.

The more his mother acted like this, the more at ease Ye Shuo felt. Looking at the current situation, he didn’t have to worry about his princess and his mother not getting along.

The Imperial Concubine was still a little worried after hearing this: “Do you really know your limits?”

Ye Shuo swore: “Of course!”

The Imperial Concubine stared at him for a long time. Seeing that his expression was not fake, she reluctantly put down the cane in her hand: “…Okay, I will trust you again.”

“I knew that mother is the best to me! No matter what, it’s all for the good of her son!” Ye Shuo quickly threw the cane onto the wardrobe that his mother couldn’t reach, and couldn’t help but hug her arms.

“You’re already so old, but you’re still so annoying…”

Although the Imperial Concubine complained, she had a smile on her face.

Yao Zhi waited outside for a long time with a troubled look on her face. Only when the door was reopened and the young man was still alive and kicking did she breathe a sigh of relief.

At first Ye Shuo was quite normal, but after lunch, when the two of them were getting ready to leave the palace in the carriage, Ye Shuo’s true colours were immediately revealed.

“Sister Azhi, my mother just beat me with a cane, it hurt so much!”

Looking at the red marks on the young man’s calf, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but feel distressed, but she couldn’t blame the Imperial Concubine. No matter what the Imperial Concubine was thinking, Yao Zhi was already content that she could do this.

Yao Zhi has heard a lot about these things over the years.

“You deserve it. Let’s see if you dare to mess around again in the future.”

Back at Prince Rui’s mansion, Yao Zhi complained while applying medicine to him.

Lying in Yao Zhi’s arms, hugging her waist, and feeling the faint medicinal fragrance coming from Yao Zhi’s body, at this moment, Ye Shuo felt that he was about to die of happiness.

All he wanted in his two lifetimes was just such an easy and happy life.

Putting his robe back down, Ye Shuo said, “Come, I’ll help you rub your waist too.”

“Don’t!” How could Yao Zhi dare to let him touch her? She immediately hid eight feet away.

“It won’t work in the next two days. Let’s wait and see…”

Ye Shuo swore to heaven that he was not thinking nonsense just now!

After playing for a while, Yao Zhi was also tired, so the two of them slept in the room for most of the day and didn’t wake up until the evening. Then they got up to eat.

Knowing that His Royal Highness Prince Rui likes to eat, the kitchen always has various things prepared.

Three days passed in a flash. When Ye Shuo returned home three days later, he could almost feel the undisguised disgust of Huo Tianyi and others. Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at Yao Zhi who was standing beside him.

“Sister Azhi…”

Huo Tianyi and others: “…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This boy is so shameless! He doesn’t look like a prince at all!

But Yao Zhi was not so stupid after all, and she would not do anything to go against her master for Ye Shuo. It was just that Huo Tianyi and others saw her in trouble, and they really couldn’t bear it, so they could only accept it.

Just as Ye Shuo was arguing with the other masters, the second master sighed, then pulled her disciple aside and asked in a low voice: “Do you still find it hard to manage the affairs of the palace?”

Seeing her disciple in a daze, the second master thought that Ye Shuo had not handed over the power of housekeeper to her, and her heart sank.

However, what the Second Master didn’t know was that it was not the case at all.

Yao Zhi was born in the countryside and had been in the underworld for so many years that she knew the prices of goods at the bottom very well. She knew exactly whether the accounts in the palace matched or not, so there was basically no possibility of fooling around.

Since Yao Zhi was particularly knowledgeable about money, she controlled the financial power of the palace, which was equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the people below. Naturally, no one dared to make trouble for her.

Of course, there were some cases of lip service and double-crossing in the palace, but Ye Shuo had already said that the matter was entirely up to the princess, and some troublemakers felt that the princess’ status was not high enough and wanted to break the law themselves, forgetting that although Yao Zhi had a chivalrous heart, she was not a soft-hearted person.

On the contrary, it is precisely because she has seen so many things that she knows better what to let go and what not to let go.

In Yao Zhi’s opinion, they receive such a high monthly salary but are still so unsatisfied. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It would be fine if they just take a little bit of oil as a subsidy, but it is really hateful that they are so greedy!

After Yao Zhi dealt with several people quickly and efficiently, no one dared to do the same again.

They thought the prince would no longer care about the matter, so they could finally take advantage of the situation. However, it turned out that the new princess was also very powerful, so everyone gave up all thoughts.

The staff structure of the palace is simple, with only three masters in total. Basically, they only need to spend two or three hours every month to check the accounts. In this case, wouldn’t Yao Zhi, who regards eating and sleeping in the open air as normal, feel relaxed?

Yao Zhi didn’t think so before, but now that the second master reminded her, she suddenly woke up.

“Thank you for your reminder, Second Master. We really can’t go on like this.”

Beautiful woman: “?”

Yao Zhi said so, and she did so. After returning to the mansion, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but ask: “On a daily basis, as the prince, what do you need me to do as the princess?”

You can’t say that you have nothing to do, right?

“You’re talking about this…” Ye Shuo scratched his head.

“Then we have a lot to do. Let me think about it…”

Yao Zhi couldn’t help but become serious.

Ye Shuo began to count on his fingers, “My father is not in good health right now. I have to go to the palace to see him at least half of the time in a month, accompany him fishing, playing chess, or just go shopping with him.”

“As for the rest of the time… in the morning, I go out to eat snacks and listen to storytelling. At noon, I go to Zuixinglou to try new dishes. In the afternoon, I listen to opera. When I get tired, I get a back massage. In the evening, I soak in hot springs and eat barbecue. Or I go hunting in the suburbs…”

So many things happened to Yao Zhi during the two months she lived in the mansion that she had no idea what Ye Shuo’s daily life was like. Now, after listening to him talk about it one by one, she found that it was completely different from what Princess Su had taught her.

Now it was Yao Zhi’s turn to be stunned.
