Chapter 280: Accepting the influence of knowledge

Chu Liuzheng felt that he was so wronged.

She had always wanted to leave, but there was nothing she could do since King Xiao wouldn't let her.

She quickly admitted her mistake and promised that it would never happen again.

"You are just relying on His Majesty's favor." Zhou Yuande tapped her arm with the handle of his whisk, nodded at the dark figure, and lowered his voice, "That's the real master." Why are you trying to be so attentive in front of King Xiao?

In other words, Chu Liuzheng didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have argued with him.

Isn’t it just serving some food to King Xiao?

She was just doing her job, how could that be considered as being attentive?

But she didn't know, so she listened obediently: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

Zhou Yuande snorted softly and couldn't help but remind him, "How many people are jealous of your position? If you don't work hard, there will be a lot of people rushing to squeeze you out."

Chu Liuzheng nodded and said, "I will do my best to serve Your Majesty in the future."

Seeing that she was so receptive to the lesson, Zhou Yuande stopped finding fault with her and let her off this time.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Chu Liuzheng let out a breath and looked at the emperor walking in front of him.

Just looking at his back, you can tell that he is very impressive, dignified, imposing and full of aura.

It is pleasing to the eyes, but... Chu Liuzheng secretly complained.

[There must be something wrong with Eunuch Zhou's eyes. How could the tyrant favor me? He's been so cold and stern all day long, his mood swings are unpredictable. It's simply terrifying!]

*

The Imperial Hospital gave out pills for three consecutive days.

The pills on the last day were different from those on the previous two days. They tasted sweet, like sugar pills, and some people even wanted to take a few more.

In the secret guard camp, Coach Li burned Gaopin's body clean and buried the ashes under a tree.

With the joint efforts of the Imperial Hospital, the Secret Guard Battalion, Qin Shu and Feng Jing, the poisonous insect crisis carefully planned by the Fifth Prince's wife was quietly averted.

The Queen had lost her appetite in recent days. When she heard that Qin Shu was not only a miraculous doctor but also only treated women, she couldn't help but feel curious and sent Qiu Sui to invite her over.

After hearing about it, the other ladies also took turns to ask people to see the doctor, and Qin Shu was extremely busy.

Feng Jing wandered around the Imperial Hospital and had nothing to do, so he simply ran out of the palace and set up a table outside the charity hall to provide free medical treatment.

Seeing that he was young and had no beard, the people did not believe how skilled he was. Until they saw with their own eyes that he saved an old man who was lying on the ground and twitching with just two slaps, they immediately regarded him as a miracle doctor and vied with each other to see Feng Jing.

There was a long queue in front of the table, and patrolling officers helped maintain order.

Feng Jing not only had to see a doctor, but also had to politely decline the enthusiastic aunts and sisters-in-law who wanted to act as matchmakers for him. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

【Doctor Feng is quite kind.】

In the carriage, Chu Liuzheng lowered the curtain, smiled with his eyes curved, and was in a very good mood.

I'll be able to see you soon, brother!

Xiao Jingfan and King Xiao sat opposite each other, each holding a book in his hand, and both were reading very seriously.

The difference is that Xiao Jingfan was reading the records about the Great Yong Dynasty, while King Xiao was reading a storybook he had just bought from a bookstore, with candied melon seeds at hand, looking very comfortable.

Chu Liuzheng poured tea for the two of them. King Xiao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to her: "The five-spice melon seeds from Baihezhai are delicious. Try them."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." Chu Liuzheng took it and peeled it one by one.

King Xiao did not show favoritism and handed another handful of melon seeds to Xiao Jingfan.

Xiao Jingfan only raised his eyelids and glanced at it, his lips moving slightly: "I don't want to eat it."

King Xiao withdrew his hand with regret, secretly sighing that his younger brother was not lucky enough to enjoy the food.

After a while, a small round plate was handed to Xiao Jingfan, filled with peeled melon seeds, big and whole.

Xiao Jingfan hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and ate while looking at it.

[Tsk, I'm really too lazy to peel it.]

Chu Liuzheng wiped his hands and started cracking the remaining melon seeds.

Uncracked melon seeds have no soul!

Seeing that she seemed to like it very much, King Xiao handed her another handful.

Chu Liuzheng didn't bother to be polite with him. He just thanked him and took it with a smile.

The two of them ate melon seeds together.

When Xiao Jingfan came back to his senses from the book, he found that his ears were filled with the "crunching" sound of cracking melon seeds, one after another, very rhythmic.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Imperial College. The young man Kunqi who was driving the carriage first put the wheelchair down from the carriage, then turned around and carried his master down on his back.

Chu Liuzheng put the uneaten melon seeds into his purse and followed Xiao Jingfan out of the carriage.

This is the Imperial College. It's truly a place where scholars stay. It has a scholarly atmosphere.

Chu Liuzheng looked up at the gate of the Imperial College. His mood improved and everything looked pleasing to him.

Xiao Jingfan's mouth twitched. How could the scent of books be detected just through two doors?

Zhou Yuande took out the sign and waved it in front of the guard. The guard was so scared that he almost fell down and crawled in to report.

Soon, a thin old man with a white beard ran out with a middle-aged man and a young man. Just as they were about to kneel down before Xiao Jingfan, he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. The King Xiao and I were passing by and stopped by to take a look."

Yun Jijiu: "..."

Anyone who believes it is a fool.

As he invited people in, he felt anxious. Why did these two giant Buddhas suddenly come to the Imperial College?

The group sat down in the flower hall, and the servants served tea and then left.

Yun Jijiu chatted for a while and couldn't help asking, "I wonder what brings your majesty here?"

"I'm bored staying in the palace, so I'd like to go out for a walk with Prince Xiao." Xiao Jingfan looked at the layout of the flower hall and tapped an ebony folding fan lightly in his palm.

Hearing him put all the blame on himself, King Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said to Yun Jijiu, "Can you take me to see the various schools?"

It's class time now, so I should be able to see something interesting.

Yun Jijiu naturally had no objection. He asked the two deans to go about their business, and he personally led Xiao Jingfan and his party.

Although Chu Liuzheng was anxious to see his elder brother, he also knew that he had to take care of business first.

The sound of reading was heard everywhere. Yun Jijiu led a group of people around the Imperial College. Chu Liuzheng saw his elder brother. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, he knew it must be his elder brother.

She was so excited that her eyes were hot and she wanted to rush out and recognize her relatives on the spot.

Zhou Yuande pulled her back in time, and she had no choice but to follow Xiao Jingfan and the others and continue walking. She also visited the library and was enlightened by knowledge.

This walk took nearly two hours and it was time for lunch.

Yun Jijiu naturally could not neglect the emperor and King Xiao, so he specially sent someone to book a table from the restaurant, but Xiao Jingfan suggested that they eat in the dining hall of the Imperial College.

The food in the dining hall tasted good, at least Chu Liuzheng enjoyed it very much.

Yun Jijiu and the two Siyes, however, felt as if they were chewing wax and could not swallow their food. They could not guess why the Emperor and Prince Xiao had come so suddenly.

The students looked around here either openly or secretly, their curious eyes constantly falling on King Xiao in the wheelchair and Xiao Jingfan with an expressionless face, secretly guessing their identities.

Chu Shangming also stared blankly at the table where the wine was being served. He didn't look at the two noble young men, but his eyes were all on the girl who was concentrating on eating.

Why did he feel that the girl looked so much like his own Xiao Miao?

Not only were her movements of picking vegetables similar, her fair profile was similar, and even her aqua-red dress looked very similar to the one her own mother had made herself and sent to the palace.

"What are you looking at?" Ren Qingxia came over with a bowl in hand and followed his gaze. Her eyes widened in surprise. Why was the emperor here?!
