Chapter 504 No Drinking Until We're Drunk

Upon hearing Zhou Chengxing's voice, Su Dingyu was no longer nervous and shouted loudly,

"Your Highness, it is I, Su Dingyu."

Zhou Chengxing had initially thought Mu Chengju had arrested a petty thief, but it turned out to be Su Dingyu. He quickly pulled off the black cloth covering Su Dingyu's face.

"What are you doing, Su family brat?"

Su Dingyu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Your Highness, I suspect my eldest brother will come to see Ningbao tonight, and as her second brother, I'd like to join in the fun as well."

"I thought that since the Princess and Ningbao had just returned today, the Prince's residence would be under a lot of surveillance. To avoid trouble, I chose to disguise myself, but I didn't expect to be caught anyway."

During the daytime today, Mu Chengju and the others watched from a distance by the carriage and never got a close look at Su Dingyu.

Upon hearing that the person before him was Ning Bao's genius second senior brother, Mu Chengju immediately looked at him with admiration.

"Hello, I've heard so much about you. I'm Ningbao's second brother, Mu Chengju."

Zhou Chengxing had known Mu Chengju for several years, and in his eyes, the Mu family's children were like his own.

He looked at Mu Chengju and Su Dingyu.

"Dingyu, this is Ningbao's second brother. He is preparing to participate in this year's autumn imperial examination. He is also a smart kid and his ranking in Yunlu City is quite good."

When you have time, give them some pointers; you've participated in the autumn imperial examinations before, so you have experience."

Su Dingyu turned and looked at Mu Chengju seriously.

"Your Highness, are you sure he's not a guard or secret agent of your palace? I think his martial arts skills are quite impressive."

Zhou Chengxing smiled.

"Dingyu, you may not know this, but the children of Chuyun Village, especially those from the Mu family, are all talented in both literature and martial arts."

As Zhou Chengxing spoke, he patted Su Dingyu on the shoulder, and Su Dingyu, caught off guard, stumbled...

"Hahahaha!" Zhou Chengxing laughed heartily.

"Young man of the Su family, not to criticize you, but your body is far too weak."

Even though you're a civil official, your body can't be too weak, otherwise you won't even be able to climb over a wall.

"Your Highness is right. I will definitely practice climbing over the wall more next time so that I won't get caught."

Zhou Chengxing glared at Su Dingyu.

"There will be a next time?"

You're getting on in years, so stay home quietly and don't keep trying to climb over the walls of my Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. If you have something to do, use the main gate.

Otherwise, next time I catch you, I'll beat you up like a thief.

Su Dingyu nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness is right, I will remember it."

"By the way, Mu..."

"Mu Chengju".

"Oh, right, Mu Chengju."

Chengju, you are Ningbao's older brother, so from now on you will be my younger brother.

In a few days, I'll have my wife invite Ningbao to our residence via this post. You can all come together then; I have a lot of insights about the autumn imperial examinations, and we can exchange ideas."

After Su Dingyu finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Chengxing again.

"By the way, Your Highness, my grandfather is preparing to resign from his official post."

If a few of them could receive guidance from my grandfather...

Zhou Chengxing was stunned for a moment.

"Is the Grand Tutor going to resign?"

However, resigning from office is a good thing. It's too tiring for someone of my age to have to go to court and travel back and forth every day.

Dingyu, go back and tell your grandfather that I'll go drink with him when I have time.

Zhou Chengxing went to the main courtyard to find his wife. Su Dingyu chatted with Mu Chengju for a while, and he was growing to appreciate Mu Chengju more and more.
