Chapter 421 Broadcast Gymnastics
"Since the grain and fodder will arrive in seven days, General He should be along with the grain and fodder. These few days, it is expected that the Mobei barbarians will not dare to invade. It is better to let the soldiers have a good rest."
"Yes, yes, yes, conserve your energy, and when General He comes, we will have a big fight!"
"Yes, a big fight!"
The deputy general chuckled at them, and echoed with the others, only his hands hidden under the table clenched into fists.
...
A month is not long, but also not short.
Because of the conversation with He Yanting, the emperor went back to court the next day to handle state affairs.
But he did not let Xiao Lingyu handle only simple matters as before. He still let him read the memorials, and Jiang Kangan still assisted him.
Everything seemed to be the same as nothing had changed.
The ministers' minds could not help but become active.
Half a month later, the emperor sent Fuping to summon Jiang Zhiyu, intending to release Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji.
After all, they were all princes, and it would be awkward to keep them in the imperial prison, even if they were released and confined in their own house.
Of course, before releasing them, he would have to ask Jiang Zhiyu what they had done in prison and whether they had any resentment towards him.
Jiang Zhiyu brought Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji, followed Fuping, and entered the study.
She went straight to the chair, while Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji knelt in the middle to salute.
The emperor was reviewing memorials at the desk, with Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Kang'an beside him.
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji entered the palace after washing up, so they looked a little haggard and their chins were a little sharper.
The half-month imprisonment disaster was a lot of hardship for Xiao Chuji, a prince who had been raised in luxury since childhood.
Xiao Yanli, due to his childhood experience, adapted well.
The emperor reviewed the memorials and said after a long while: "How is it? How have you reflected on yourself? Do you know where you went wrong?"
The two said in unison: "Your sons know they were wrong."
The emperor shook his head and stopped looking at them. He turned to Jiang Zhiyu and asked: "What did they do in prison?"
When he asked this, Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji, who were kneeling, changed their expressions at the same time and glared at Jiang Zhiyu. They seemed to want to complain, but for some reason, they made no sound.
The emperor and his two companions all looked puzzled. Jiang Zhiyu said slowly: "Your Majesty, the two princes were sent to prison to reflect on their mistakes. However, the prison is unusually cold and humid, and the two are worth millions. I am afraid that they will fall ill before they have reflected on their mistakes. So I order the prison guards to wake up your princes at the hour of dawn every day to do radio gymnastics to strengthen their bodies."
"Do it for an hour at a time, and then your princes will reflect on themselves until lunch. In the afternoon, we will carry out some cultural care, and then let your princes do some voluntary labor, and then reflect on themselves again."
He said it, but no one really understood.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but ask, "What is broadcast gymnastics?"
"It's a kind of exercise that can improve physical fitness." Jiang Zhiyu saw that they still didn't know much, and looked at the two people kneeling in the middle: "How about you two dance for everyone?"
Xiao Chuji and Xiao Yanli's faces turned pale.
But they couldn't lose their temper in front of the emperor, and there was also some expectation in the emperor's eyes...
Xiao Yanli gritted his teeth and resisted, "It's just moving arms and legs, nothing special, just like practicing swords on weekdays."
Xiao Chuji rarely stood on the same front with him: "Yes, yes, it's just like practicing swords, nothing to see."
If they agreed directly, the emperor and others would not be so curious, but the two of them refused like this, the emperor wanted to watch more.
"Since it's the same as practicing swordplay, why be so shy? Let me see what's new about this broadcast gymnastics."
The emperor had spoken, so they had no choice but to do as he said.
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji took a deep breath and stood up from the ground -
"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, two, three, four..."
The two shouted while raising their arms and legs.
They were all martial artists, so their movements naturally had some strength, not to mention that they were both handsome, so the scene was still very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Zhiyu watched with admiration.
[Good, very energetic!]
The other people also had admiration in their eyes.
Only the two parties involved couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts, and their faces flushed.
They must avenge this humiliation!
Of course, the emperor would not wait for them to finish dancing. When they reached the fourth eight beats, he called for a stop: "That's enough. It's really good for your health. Jiang Yushi is so young but he cares about your health. Why are you two adults still arguing about it?"
Xiao Yanli's breathing stagnated.
The emperor saw through their thoughts and warned them.
But why!
What's so good about Jiang Zhiyu that he values her so much!
Letting two princes make such a posture to watch, what's the difference between that and the singing girls dancing in the brothel? !
This is simply trampling on the dignity of the royal family!
And the emperor is not annoyed at all? !
Xiao Chuji sneered: "Young? Jiang Yushi will soon be of age, so he is not young anymore."
"Are you blaming me?"
The emperor's voice showed no emotion, Xiao Chuji's face changed: "I have no such intention, I am just stating the facts!"
Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly.
[It's hard to be a good person. They don't appreciate your good deeds, so they'd better be bad people.]
"No wonder there are still so many bad people in this world."
She said this inexplicably, and everyone looked at her.
Jiang Zhiyu put her hand into her arms, revealing a familiar corner -
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji immediately rushed up.
Emperor: "!!!"
Xiao Lingyu: "!!!"
Jiang Kangan: "!!!"
This is Yu's study!
In front of them, these two people are going to fight? !
Jiang Kangan flashed to Jiang Zhiyu's side, but Xiao Yanli was faster than him and had already grabbed Jiang Zhiyu's wrist.
Under Jiang Kangan's vigilant eyes, Xiao Yanli gently took Jiang Zhiyu's hand and pushed the small notebook back. Xiao Chuji, who lagged behind them a little, brushed past Jiang Kangan, picked up the teapot on the table, and personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhiyu.
"You must be thirsty after talking so much. Come, father, this is all the best tea, taste it."
In order to prevent Jiang Zhiyu from taking out the small notebook as soon as they left, the two simply stood beside her.
Xiao Yanli also whispered: "You have worked hard all the way, can I give you a massage?"
Jiang Zhiyu did not touch the tea, and hummed lightly from her nose to express her response.
Emperor: “???”
Xiao Lingyu: “???”
Jiang Kang’an: “???”
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
What’s going on? Just now they were fighting to the death, but now they are trying to please each other?
What did Zhiyu want to take just now?
Could it be that she has something on the second and sixth princes?
