Chapter 375: Revenge on a personal vengeance?
Time passes slowly without us noticing.
As Chu Wenzong's health gradually improved, Chu Youning was finally about to usher in the first most important moment in her life - the coming of age.
When Chu Wenzong came in front of him with a thick book, Chu Youning felt like he wanted to escape.
"Brother, I think you are just too idle. If you have nothing to do, why don't you be more considerate of the Crown Prince and help him handle some government affairs?"
There is still one month until her coming-of-age ceremony.
As for Chu Wenzong, this was the seventeenth time he had helped her revise the details of the process in the past half month.
Seeing that his sister had once again been annoyed by him, Chu Wenzong was very satisfied:
"Look at what you are saying. Isn't the most eye-catching event in the entire Dayu the coming-of-age ceremony for you, the eldest princess?"
"I will personally supervise the rectification process for you. This is because I care about you. My dear sister, please don't mess around and let me down!"
"...Are you sure this isn't a personal vendetta?"
Seeing that the booklet had become several pages thicker, Chu Youning exposed him without hesitation.
Emperor Wenzong of Chu remained unmoved and continued to smile kindly: "My sister, please do not judge others by your own standards."
He would not deliberately drop all the government affairs in his hands to see his own sister's irritable and helpless face just because of a few boxes of treasure that could not be recovered.
"Well... what do you think of the changes this time, my brother? Are there any omissions? How about you revise it for another seven or eight months, and when you are satisfied, we can proceed with the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Chu Youning had a smile on his face, and his words came out from between his teeth one by one.
"Look at what you are saying, little girl. I personally sent it to you after I had made changes to it to my satisfaction. I will not make any more changes in the future."
Chu Wenzong grinned.
Ever since he was tricked by Chu Youning's word game, he now starts to set traps for Chu Youning when he speaks.
Unfortunately, Chu Youning had a clear grasp of these things. She grinned at the book and said, "It shouldn't be changed. But it may still need to be changed. How about this... My royal brother, you can change it in my princess's mansion. When you feel that it will not be changed anymore, I will prepare according to your book."
As she spoke, she yawned and stretched her back: "I just feel a little sleepy now, so I won't bother you, brother. Chuntao, please prepare some empty books for you, and I will try my best to meet your requests."
As she said this, she made a gesture to lift her legs and walk out.
The trap was once again resolved. Chu Wenzong looked at Chu Youning with a dark face and said, "Alright, this is the last time. I will not change it again."
He won't change it. At worst, he'll find some more complicated process tomorrow and change it in the name of the Queen Mother.
"That's fine." Chu Youning turned around and took the booklet. "Royal brother, you'd better stop making any plans. If I see a new version of the process again, no matter who gave it to me, I will just handle it as if you have too much free time. By then... I don't mind finding something for you to do that will keep you busy."
OK
His imperial sister is the worm in his belly.
Chu Wenzong showed a fake smile of an emperor:
"What did your sister say? Practice well. Your coming-of-age ceremony will be held at the same time as Princess Chang Huan's. Your every word and action will be in front of all the officials. If you, the Princess Chang, fail to do the details well, you will not be the only one to lose face."
That's right.
In order to spur Chu Youning.
Plus the royal family owes Jiang Wanrong.
Emperor Wenzong of Chu waved his hand and issued an imperial decree, arranging for the two of them to perform the coming-of-age ceremony at the same time in the palace.
"Okay." Chu Youning had the same sullen face, "Taozi, when my brother entered the house just now, his right foot crossed the threshold first, which caused a conflict with me today. It is not appropriate for him to stay in the mansion for dinner. Please ask my brother to return to the palace."
"No need, my sister, please prepare yourself. I will be leaving now."
Even though he had been driven away more than ten times this month, and his sister gave different reasons each time, Emperor Wenzong of Chu still enjoyed it, and when he left, he walked with a clear and open step, without recognizing any relatives.
When a person leaves.
Chu Youning took out the previous version of the process booklet and compared it with the one in his hand now.
very good.
The thickness has more than doubled.
After having Tongzi go through all the procedures, Chu Youning handed the booklet to Chuntao: "Taozi, go give it to my sister and tell her not to get mad. This is the last version."
"yes."
Chuntao walked out with the booklet in her pocket.
She felt... that the eldest princess's silence was a little scary.
If nothing unexpected happens, someone might get into trouble.
That afternoon, Chu Youning went out quickly. When she came back, Han Shuang was gone and her mood improved.
Chuntao's intuition was soon confirmed.
The next morning.
Chu Wenjing suddenly fell ill and was unable to get out of bed and could no longer handle official business.
When Emperor Wenzong of Chu woke up, he found a mountain of memorials on his desk.
"The prince was fine yesterday, why is he so ill today?"
