Chapter 211: He Lied to Me
Fang Lingchu was still standing there, showing no intention of leaving.
The emperor looked at the little girl and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Xian Ling! What else do you want?"
The emperor's voice was filled with a hint of flattery.
"Your Majesty, why did you ask my second brother to go to Baishan Town?"
Emperor: I knew it.
"Ahem! My dear Lord Xiao Fang, you know the situation over there. I have discussed it with the Imperial Preceptor, and he feels that your second brother is the most suitable person to go. For the sake of the people, I believe you should understand his good intentions."
Fang Lingchu really wanted to roll his eyes at the emperor. What kind of imperial teacher was he? He was clearly just a scapegoat.
"I understand. But next time Your Majesty sends them there, could you please tell me about it? I want to say goodbye to them properly."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Fang Lingchu was not angry.
"I promised you this."
"Well, where do I sleep when I'm in the palace?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the imperial concubine's former palace! It's also closer to the Imperial Master's residence."
Fang Lingchu: What did she hear?
[Guagua, the emperor is not interested in me, is he?]
Where do you get so many conclusions?
He asked me to live in the place where the imperial concubine used to live. Isn't that a place only his wife can live in? I said if I refuse him now, will he kill me to silence me?
Emperor: What the hell? Who said those houses in the harem are only for concubines?
He just said that he liked Xia Ruirui, and now he likes her again. Doesn't he, the emperor, have anything to do all day?
Are you addicted to women every day?
"That shouldn't be the case. Your emperor sees that you don't have any desires, so he should just give you a place to live."
[Oh, that's good. I'm so scared! I'm a woman who aspires to be a heroine. I can't let a man hold me back.]
Emperor: It seems as if I like her.
"Why, Immortal, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
"No, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Uh-huh"
Fang Lingchu went downstairs muttering to himself.
Time flies by
Two days later
A guest came to Fang Lingchu.
"Princess, Miss Duan is here."
"Let her in"
Fang Lingchu has been too busy these days and has not had time to visit his fellow villager.
Soon a girl appeared at the door. She wore a hairpin on her head and a gauze dress. She had a slim figure, skin as white as snow, and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.
She has a pair of lively big eyes that look around gracefully, and long jet-black hair that falls on her shoulders, cascading like a waterfall. It shines brightly with golden light under the sunlight. When paired with her face, she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
Guagua, she's so beautiful! I thought bandit daughters all looked rough.
[Host, Duan Shirui was raised like a daughter by her father. How could she possibly act like that?]
[Okay, suddenly I feel that such a beautiful girl was taken advantage of by that pig of the Third Prince]
Duan Shirui had long known that Fang Lingchu was special, but she didn't expect him to be so special.
"Your servant Duan Shirui pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess Protector of the Nation."
"Stand up, Sister Duan, you don't have to be so polite. We will soon be a family."
"Your Highness the Princess is such a joker."
"Didn't the Third Prince go to your father to ask for marriage?"
Duan Shirui: This fellow is too direct.
[Host, you are too direct.]
"Is there a problem? Haven't they already reached this point?"
"I came to see the princess today because His Majesty asked me to work for you."
"Oh, okay. I'll let Raspberry take you to find Ma Caidie. She's in charge of all agricultural matters."
"Well, Princess, how long have you been here?"
"We are from the same hometown, no need to call me princess, just call me Chuchu"
"Okay, Chuchu, how long have you been here?"
“I’ve been here for quite a while.”
…
The two fellow villagers met and chatted a lot about family matters. Soon it was dark outside.
"Sister Rui, why don't you stay here? Stay with me tonight!"
Duan Shirui had just arrived, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
"No, I'll come again next time I have a chance. I'll go take a look at the potatoes you mentioned and give you a perfect score on the test paper."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
When Fang Lingchu crossed over, he was only 27 years old, and when Duan Shirui came, she was already over 30.
So whether in ancient or modern age, she is older than Fang Lingchu.
Duan Shirui is a doctor of agriculture. With her joining, I believe there will be news about potatoes soon.
After sending Duan Shirui away, Fang Lingchu began to prepare to learn about sacrificial rituals tomorrow.
Time passed day by day.
Soon it was the day of the Third Prince and Duan Shirui's engagement.
"Master Imperial Master, I beg you, I want to go."
Helian Shunan didn't even look at Fang Lingchu who was begging him pitifully, and said ruthlessly: "No, there is less than a month left before the sacrifice. In addition to the time you have to attend court, there is also the time for the autumn circle in the middle. Your study progress..."
Having said that, Helian Shunan paused for a moment. It was really a headache!
"I'm still learning how to walk. It's really too slow."
"Master Imperial Master, today is my good sister's engagement day! I must go. At worst, I can come back and practice for an extra hour!"
"It's a deal"
Fang Lingchu thought he would not agree, but unexpectedly he agreed.
Helian Shunan smiled cunningly.
In fact, Helian Shunan himself had something to do today, and the previous words were just to scare her, but he didn't expect to gain an unexpected benefit.
"Um?"
"I don't want to go"
"Go, go, I'm going now"
Fang Lingchu quickly asked people to pack up and left the palace.
Arriving in the carriage, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but say: [System, I feel like I saved him in vain. He has no sympathy for women at all, devilish coach.]
System: [Host, is it possible that he is doing this for your own good? And why did you ask him just now?]
[Didn't you hear? It's Duan Shirui's engagement ceremony! I want to go.]
"I know, but Helian Shunan was summoned by the Emperor today, so you could have gone out anyway!"
Hearing this, Fang Lingchu's whole body broke apart.
【What did you say? 】
Your emperor said this himself during court yesterday.
Fang Lingchu tried hard to recall, and it seemed that this was really the case!
[I was cheated? ]
"You can't say you've been deceived! You're really learning etiquette too slowly. Your progress is simply ridiculous."
What can I do? Some habits cannot be changed overnight.
[Oh, if there are multiple stores, just practice more]
[Is this a problem with extra training? Helian Shunan is plotting against me.]
[Okay, okay, let’s go eat melons later and have fun]
[The people who went today are all old acquaintances, what melons can be eaten?]
[Not necessarily! There will definitely be something interesting today.]
After hearing this, Fang Lingchu suddenly became less angry.
After all, I do have some dishes.
