"Since the food and fodder will arrive in seven days, General He should be along with them. I don't think the Mobei barbarians will dare to invade these days, so why not let the soldiers rest well?"
"Right, right, right. Let's gather our strength and wait for General He to arrive so we can have a great fight!"
"Yes, a big kill!"
The deputy general chuckled as he looked at them, and echoed everyone else, his hands hidden under the table clenched into fists.
…
January is neither long nor short.
Because of the conversation with He Yanting, the emperor returned to court the next day to handle state affairs.
But he did not let Xiao Lingyu handle only simple matters as he did before. He still let him review the memorials and Jiang Kang'an still assisted him.
Everything seemed to be unchanged.
The ministers' minds became active.
Half a month later, the emperor sent Fuping to summon Jiang Zhiyu, intending to release Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji.
After all, they are all princes. It would be embarrassing to keep them locked up in the imperial prison all the time. Even if they are released, they will be confined to their own house.
Of course, before releasing them, he had 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 imperial study.
She went straight to the seat, and Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji knelt in the middle to salute.
The emperor was reviewing memorials at his desk, with Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Kang'an beside him.
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji entered the hall after washing up, so they looked a little haggard and their chins were a little pointed.
The half-month imprisonment was a real hardship for Xiao Chuji, a prince who had been raised in luxury since childhood.
Xiao Yanli adapted quite well due to his childhood experiences.
The emperor reviewed the memorial for a long while before saying, "Well, how have you reflected on your actions? Do you know where you went wrong?"
The two men said in unison: "I know I was wrong."
The emperor shook his head, no longer looking at them, and turned to Jiang Zhiyu beside him: "What are they doing in prison?"
When this question was asked, Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji, who were kneeling, changed their expressions and glared at Jiang Zhiyu angrily. They looked like they wanted to complain, but for some reason, no sound came out.
The emperor and his two companions all looked puzzled. Jiang Zhiyu said slowly, "Your Majesty, the two princes have been imprisoned to reflect on their actions. However, the prison is extremely cold and damp, and you two are worth a fortune. I am afraid that they will fall ill before they have reflected on their actions. Therefore, I have ordered the jailers to wake you up at dawn every day to do radio exercises to strengthen your bodies."
"One hour at a time, then your highnesses will reflect on themselves until lunchtime. In the afternoon, we'll do some humanistic care, and then your highnesses will do some voluntary labor, and then reflect on themselves again."
I said it, but I didn’t quite understand it.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but ask, "What is radio gymnastics?"
"It's an exercise that can improve your physical fitness." Seeing that they still didn't understand it, Jiang Zhiyu looked at the two people kneeling in the middle and said, "How about you two dance for everyone?"
Xiao Chuji and Xiao Yanli's faces turned pale in an instant.
But they couldn't get angry in front of the emperor, and there was also some anticipation in the emperor's eyes...
Xiao Yanli gnashed his teeth and protested, "It's just moving my arms and legs. Nothing special. Just like practicing swordsmanship every day."
It was rare for Xiao Chuji to stand on the same side as him: "Yes, yes, it's just like practicing swordsmanship, nothing to see."
If they had agreed right away, the emperor and his companions wouldn't have been so curious, but since the two of them refused, the emperor wanted to see it even more.
"Since it's the same as practicing swordsmanship, why be so shy? Let me see what this new radio gymnastics is all about."
Since the emperor has spoken, they can only do as he says.
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 men shouted and raised their arms and legs.
They are both martial artists, so naturally there is some strength in their movements. Not to mention that they are both handsome, so the picture is still very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Zhiyu watched with admiration.
[Good, very energetic! ]
The other people also looked at him with admiration.
Only two parties involved could not get over the hurdle in their hearts and their faces turned red.
They will definitely avenge this humiliation!
Of course, the emperor wouldn't wait for them to finish dancing. When they reached the fourth eight beats, he called a halt. "That's enough. It's really good for your health. Even Jiang Yushi, who is so young, cares about your health. Why are you two adults still fussing about it?"
Xiao Yanli's breathing stopped.
The emperor saw through their thoughts and said this to warn them.
But why!
What's so good about Jiang Zhiyu that he values her so much!
Making two dignified princes pose like this for viewing, what's the difference between that and a courtesan dancing in a brothel?!
This is simply trampling on the royal dignity!
But the emperor wasn't annoyed at all?!
Xiao Chuji sneered, "Young? Censor Jiang is about to reach marriage age, so he's not young anymore."
"So you're blaming me?"
The emperor's voice showed no emotion, and Xiao Chuji's expression changed: "This son has absolutely 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 my good deeds. I'd rather be a bad person.]
"No wonder there are still so many bad people in this world."
She said this inexplicably, and everyone looked at her.
Jiang Zhiyu put his hand into his arms, revealing a familiar corner——
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji immediately rushed forward.
emperor:"!!!"
Xiao Lingyu: “!!!”
Jiang Kangan: “!!!”
This is the imperial study!
These two were about to start fighting right in front of them?!
Jiang Kang'an flashed to Jiang Zhiyu's side, but Xiao Yanli was faster than him and had already grabbed Jiang Zhiyu's wrist.
Under Jiang Kang'an's vigilant gaze, Xiao Yanli gently took Jiang Zhiyu's hand and pushed the notebook back. Xiao Chuji, who was a little behind them, brushed past Jiang Kang'an, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhiyu personally.
"After talking so much, you must be thirsty. Come, Father, this is all top-notch tea. Try some."
In order to prevent Jiang Zhiyu from taking the little notebook out as soon as they left, the two of them simply stood beside her.
Xiao Yanli whispered, "You've had a hard time coming here. Can I give you a massage?"
Jiang Zhiyu didn't touch the tea, but responded with a light "hmm" sound from his nose.
emperor:"???"
Xiao Lingyu: “???”
Jiang Kangan: “???”
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
What's going on? You were fighting to the death just now, but now you're trying to please me?
By the way, what did the young fish want to take just now?
Could it be that she has something on the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince?
