Chapter 356 Tit for tat
Chapter 356 Tit for tat
By the next day, Zeng Chengze was able to walk out of the room by himself!
The first person Zeng Chengze saw when he left the room was Zeng Chengxiang!
Zeng Chengxiang stood lazily at the door, looking at Zeng Chengze with a smile!
"Brother, why do you always end up like this?"
Zeng Chengze just doesn't like this second brother at all!
"No need to worry about it, second brother!"
"Second brother, why did you come to Xuanyao Country?"
"Of course I have what I want!"
"What do you think, brother?"
"Whatever you want, within the rules, I won't say anything"
"But don't cross my line, I won't tolerate it!"
"What if it touches you?"
"Then die!"
"Look at you, you've made yourself into this state!"
"How can you protect others, don't you think? Big Brother?"
"This is not your concern!"
"Brother, good people, good things, and good objects are always attractive!"
"Everyone wants it, so it's uncertain how it will turn out in the end."
"Zeng Chengxiang. Are you here to provoke me?"
"How could that be? Don't get excited, brother. It's not good for your recovery!"
"You~"
"Brother, why are you always so excited? This is not good!"
"Zeng Chengxiang, what on earth are you going to do!"
Zeng Chengxiang looked at his elder brother who was always steady and had no emotion or expression!
I was so angry at what I said that I almost exploded!
"Don't get excited, big brother. I'm just discussing this pursuit of beautiful things with you!"
"You~"
Zeng Chengze had never felt that this second brother was so annoying!
It's really disturbing to watch!
"You'd better be honest. No matter this Xuanyao country or the outstanding people, don't think about it if it doesn't belong to you!"
"Everyone loves beauty. How can you say that, brother?"
"How come I didn't notice that my second brother is in such a state now!"
"Isn't it good to live an honest life?"
"Brother, what you said is true. People should always have something to pursue!"
Zeng Chengxiang now feels that teasing his elder brother is one of the greatest pleasures in life!
"Okay, stop being so naughty!"
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
After Zeng Chengze finished speaking, he started walking in the yard!
He now walks around whenever he has time!
Hope to recover soon!
Zeng Chengxiang also followed along!
"Although there are still officials in Xuanyao Country, it is a huge project to rectify it!"
"I heard that Princess Yongle has set a rule that all officials and scholars from all over the country will take the imperial examination together!"
“Now many officials are complaining a lot!”
"So what? The dynasty has changed here. It's already a mercy of Yaoer to give them a chance to survive."
"Officials of the previous dynasty want to survive in this dynasty"
“It’s not an easy task!”
"Princess Yongle, this is a good choice!"
"But even if you have the ability, it doesn't mean you are loyal!"
“This screening is not easy to do!”
"Second brother, there is no need to mention some of the officials' small actions if they can be tolerated."
"Those who harm the world will not be kept"
"We still have to check it privately!"
"Brother, are you so confident in handing these over to me?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can do good for the people, it doesn't matter who comes."
"Haha, it seems that my vision is still too small!"
"There is no such thing as a pattern, it's just about this matter!"
"Yao'er and I both care about the people!"
"The rest, it's not important!"
"As long as it can benefit the people, come if you have the ability!!"
"We don't care!"
Zeng Chengxiang didn't expect that Zeng Chengze would say these directly!
"What if it was Princess Yongle?"
"Then you die"
"Hahahahaha~"
"But you seem to be unable to hold on!"
"That's none of your business, just worry about your own!"
"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about"
"so what!"
"Do you think you can get whatever you want?"
"Brother, you have to work hard, right?"
"Don't give up before you even start anything!"
“This is not what a real man does.”
"Can't you just be quiet, huh?"
"Brother, I just want to work hard, as for the people."
"I may lack ability, but I still have a conscience."
"Don't come here, have a conscience, you are here thinking about my Yao'er."
"Princess Yongle is so beautiful. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has her eyes on me."
"Recently, I have been managing Xuanyao State, and the son of the official family has come to me to meet Princess Yongle."
"There are so many ministers that I can't even count them all."
"Some people even asked for the Emperor's order to make Princess Yongle the empress."
"Look, this outstanding person is not the only one who cares about me."
"What? Who, whose family is it!"
"No, I will go check right now to see who these bastards dared to target him."
"Brother, what? Can you kill them all?"
"Then don't kill them. How can you control who they like and who they don't like?"
Zeng Chengze had nothing to say, but he was almost mad to death.
"Brother, you should think about how to treat Princess Yongle well so that you can catch her."
Zeng Chengxiang finished speaking and left.
Zeng Chengxiang left Zeng Chengze's yard, and Zeng Chengxiang's followers asked in confusion after leaving the yard.
"Second Prince, why are you helping King Zhan?"
"Aren't you here for status, for Princess Yongle?"
"Why do you keep changing your plans?"
"Princess Yongle showed us her things right in front of us."
"Do you think it's just to get to Xuanyao Country faster?"
"He was telling me that even if I had any thoughts, she wasn't afraid of me. He was warning me that I couldn't win."
"That may not be the case. If Princess Yongle also likes you..."
"Then everything will be different."
"You still don't understand anything."
"My eldest brother's words just now showed that he doesn't care who does the job, but he has to be worthy of the people."
"As for Princess Yongle, he is determined to get her."
"I understand what you have said. You can try to fight for it. There is no such thing as absolute in matters between men and women."
"But Princess Yongle has already told me that she has no feelings for her."
"Yes? When?"
Zeng Chengxiang smiled bitterly and said nothing.
I thought that I had actually expressed my feelings, but Princess Yongle pretended to be ignorant even though I knew the truth.
This is already the answer.
I met her too late, otherwise the ending would have been different.
Zeng Chengxiang deceived himself by thinking that there was no harm in keeping a last bit of hope for himself.
"Let's go, keep yourself busy next."
"When I'm done with my work, I rush back. I always feel like I'm being dragged down by it."
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean."
"Okay, you don't need to understand."
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
Qingfeng followed behind Zeng Chengze and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to check it out?"
"Teach those people a lesson."
"Investigate whatever you want to investigate and teach whatever you want to teach."
"Old Two is right. As long as Yaoer can firmly choose me, the approach of others will not be a threat."
"It seems that the second brother is thinking about Yao'er, but he also realizes that he will not succeed in this matter."
"The Second Prince won't give up so easily!"
Qingfeng felt that the second prince was very strange and always gave people a sinister feeling.
He must not be a good person.
"I may have had some improper thoughts, but now, I think they are gone."
"The things Yao'er deliberately exposed, Lao Er should be able to understand."
"There are relatively few royal heirs now."
"The fourth child is still too young. If the second child can be reformed."
"Father will also be under less pressure."
"Besides, I don't want to take that seat. Someone has to sit there."
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the second brother and see how he performs."
"My Lord, this is inappropriate."
"I'm afraid the Second Prince is not worthy of trust."
"Let's see it."
"Yes!"
Zeng Chengze still wanted to give the second brother a chance. As long as the second brother could do it, he would feel much more relaxed.
Zeng Chengxiang, who was checking memorials in the imperial study, suddenly sneezed.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I am fine."
Although Zeng Chengxiang said this, he felt a chill on his back.
Everything is going smoothly and orderly.
And on the border between Xuanwu Kingdom and Xuanyao Kingdom!
In a village, there was a mentally retarded man who was being bullied!
"Humph, why hasn't this idiot died yet!"
“This is such a good fortune!”
"We have been in this wilderness for three days."
"I didn't expect he's not dead yet!"
"That's right, this stupid idiot has tarnished the reputation of the village!"
"Who said it wasn't!"
"If Aunt Wang hadn't picked him up and raised him until now, there wouldn't have been so many problems!"
"That's right. Aunt Wang is kind-hearted. She herself can barely afford to eat."
"I don't know what he was thinking when he brought back such a burden!"
"Now that Aunt Wang is dead, this stupid idiot won't live much longer!"
"We can't let him die in the village. That would be so unlucky!"
"Yes, just let him fend for himself here!"
Everyone left after cursing!
The man who was called a fool huddled in the cave, shivering!
Xiao Shuyao felt sleepy and fell asleep again in a daze!
In the dream, I was in a cave and saw a man who was one or two years older than me!
He seems very scared and cold!
Xiao Shuyao felt very strange. Why did this happen?
I wanted to take a closer look at the man's appearance, but he was already awake!
"It's so strange, why is this happening?"
"Who the hell is he!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyao felt an inexplicable pain in her heart!
Xiao Shuyao didn't think any more and got up and left the room!
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui?"
"Princess, I'm here!"
“I’m a little hungry!”
"Please wait a moment, my lady. I will do it right away."
"No more, let's go, let's go around the city and eat whatever we find."
"Okay, okay, Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and prepare it."
"What do you need to prepare?"
Xuanyuan Tai and Xiao Tianrui walked in together.
"Dad, father, why are you here?"
"Come and see you."
"Oh, I'm going to go out for a walk in the city."
"It's good to go around. We still know too little about the situation in Xuanyao Country."
"It's good to go and see more."
"Father, why don't we go to Xuanyao Country and take a look around."
"Take mother, Die'er, and walk around."
"There are a lot of things going on in the court right now."
"Father, what do you lack most now?"
"Talent!"
"Then if we change our makeup and walk around, we can find talents faster, right?"
"When we conquered Xuanyao Kingdom, we all came to the capital in a hurry."
"We have never experienced the appearance and local customs of Xuanyao Country."
"By the way, father, have you told the second prince to preserve the local appearance of this place?"
"Don't worry. I told you I didn't get too involved in the rest."
"Let's see what the Second Prince does first."
Everyone was watching the Second Prince's actions tacitly. Xiao Tianrui actually did not want Zeng Chengze to inherit the throne in the future.
"Yeah, Chengze meant the same thing."
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Zeng Chengze walked in slowly.
Ever since I recovered, Xuanyuan Tai and Xiao Tianrui sent people to drive me out of Yaoer's room.
"Hello, uncles!"
"Um"
Xuanyuan Tai and Xiao Tianrui looked at each other and thought about what they had said to each other.
Overall, this brat is pretty good.
Just keep an eye on him.
It is better to teach him to be more obedient.
Zeng Chengze always felt that his two uncles didn't seem to hate him as much anymore.
"Yao'er, what are you talking about?"
"We want to travel around this Xuanyao country."
"Plus, Xuanyao Country is in great need of talents now."
"Why not look around?"
"But your body, is it okay?"
"I'm fine. We'll take our third brother with us, and nothing will happen."
"Plus I have space here, so nothing will happen."
"Okay, let's go then."
"Let Lao Er guard here, let's go play."
"Don't be so blunt. We are here to help him recruit talent."
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, it's about recruiting talents."
Xiao Cui was very happy and quickly said, "Princess, I will prepare something to eat for you."
"You go ahead and make the mat. Let's go pack up."
"When to set off"
"There's nothing to clean up."
"The main thing is to make the carriage comfortable."
"Then go and inform Die'er and the Fifth Young Master."
"Just bring some changes of clothes."
"Yes, I will ask someone to arrange it right away."
"Yao'er, you haven't eaten yet?"
"How is this possible?"
"Qingfeng, hurry up and get some food."
"Yes!"
Seeing Zeng Chengze was very worried, Xiao Shuyao comforted him, "I'm fine. I won't starve myself."
"You are not alone now, you must protect yourself."
"How can I be hungry?"
"Your son won't starve."
"How can it be a son? It must be a girl."
Xiao Shuyao looked at Zeng Chengze, "Do you like daughters?"
"Yep."
"If it's a daughter, and she looks like you, that would be great, soft and tender."
Zeng Chengze thought of the small person who looked just like Xiao Shuyao in his arms.
Oh, it makes me happy just thinking about it.
"Don't the royal family want a son the most?"
"I just hope that no matter whether you have children or not, they are all healthy."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, but if it's both girls, I will definitely spoil them to the heavens"
