Chapter 224 Finding a Master



The next morning, Consort Xian sent Lanxin to the East Palace to ask Ye Jingyu for leave.

She's now hesitant about whether to continue sending Ye Jingyu to study at the Wenhua Hall.

Ye Jingyu was such a well-behaved child, but after going to the Wenhua Hall, he actually learned to fight and even learned to keep it a secret from her!

She suddenly felt a sense of crisis; if things continued like this, she would never know what her child would look like!

Ye Jingyu was not happy at all when he was suddenly told that he didn't have to go to school today.

This fight gave him immense confidence, making him realize that Ye Jinghe was not invincible. If he could almost beat him in a fight, he could definitely do it in other areas too!

He was full of passion and confidence, but his mother wouldn't allow him to go to class? If he missed a day of class, wouldn't he fall behind Ye Jinghe again?!

No matter how much he begged, his mother refused to give in.

Ye Jingyu could only study on his own, but he always felt that something was missing when studying in his own dormitory, and it wasn't quite as satisfying.

Meanwhile, at the East Palace, after applying the medicine, Ye Jingchen took Ye Jinghe for the rest of their morning exercise.

He didn't miss any classes the following day, but he didn't pay much attention; he was thinking about other things.

Losing a fight also brought him a great sense of crisis.

It's one thing if I can't beat Ye Jingyu at handwriting, but I absolutely cannot lose a fight.

He thought about it for a day and realized he needed a professional kung fu teacher.

Although my brother said that he would arrange teachers for them in the future archery class, there are so many of them, will the teachers be able to handle it all?

Moreover, the opponent he wanted to defeat or even crush was not Ye Jingyu. Ye Jingyu was not worth mentioning and was nothing to him. The only one he wanted to defeat was Xie Chang'an.

There are so many people in the Wenhua Hall, and there will be more and more in the future, but the biggest threat to him will always be Xie Chang'an.

After thinking for a day, Ye Jinghe finally came up with a suitable candidate. However, the master he chose for himself had a special identity, so his brother still needed to step in.

If he goes to the other person himself, the other person probably won't even pay attention to him.

After school, Ye Jing and Ye Jingchen timidly approached each other.

Although his older brother applied the medicine to him personally today and then took him for a morning run, he could sense that his brother was still angry with him, so he pretended to be very well-behaved all day.

He moved closer to his brother, tugging at his sleeves, pulling at his clothes, and holding his hand, trying to get his brother's attention.

"Royal brother, I plan to bring Ye Jingyan to Wenhua Hall for school tomorrow." Ye Jingshu didn't notice Ye Jinghe's little actions. She walked over and said directly to Ye Jingchen, immediately attracting all of Ye Jingchen's attention.

Ye Jinghe: ...

He glared at Ye Jingshu without leaving a trace, then reached out and grabbed Ye Jingchen's hand, clinging to him.

Ye Jingchen ignored him and instead asked Ye Jingshu, "Has she agreed to study at Wenhua Hall?"

After the Spring Banquet, Ye Jingchen stopped asking about Ye Jingyan's affairs, wanting to see if Ye Jingshu could persuade Ye Jingyan to come to Wenhua Palace on her own.

"Her fear of meeting people probably won't go away anytime soon, but I dressed her up beautifully for the Spring Banquet, and everyone praised her for being pretty, which finally made her feel less inferior. These past few days, my third sister and I have teased her a few more times, and she plans to come to Wenhua Hall to take a look first," Ye Jingshu said.

Ye Jingchen suddenly had a brilliant idea, “Then, Your Highness, please bring her to the East Palace for morning exercises early tomorrow morning.”

"Can she even run?" Ye Jingshu was very skeptical.

After all, Ye Jingyan looks so delicate.

"Whether it can run or not, we'll find out once we try," Ye Jingchen said with a smile.

"I'll bring her over tomorrow morning." Ye Jingshu was now completely convinced by Ye Jingchen's words, and left after saying that.

"Brother, I want to learn kung fu. Can you help me find a master? A master who will teach me?" Ye Jinghe said to Ye Jingchen on the way back to his palace.

"I will find the most suitable teacher to teach us archery and horsemanship. Do you want to find another teacher?" Ye Jingchen asked him.

Ye Jinghe nodded, his expression serious, and said earnestly, "I almost lost to Ye Jingyu yesterday, and I don't want to lose to him."

It turns out it was just the child's inexplicable competitive spirit at play.

"Learning kung fu is a very tough thing. You're still young. Can you persevere?"

Ye Jingchen didn't think there was anything wrong with being competitive. Although the fact that the two little brats had secretly gone all out against each other was unexpected, it might not be a bad thing.

"I can do it!" Ye Jinghe nodded firmly.

"I'll keep an eye out and choose a suitable master for you." Seeing that Ye Jinghe had made up his mind, Ye Jingchen said nothing more.

As a prince, there will always be many dangers, big and small, around him. Although he has secret guards to protect him, it is better to rely on himself than on others. It is a good thing to learn martial arts to protect himself.

"I would like to ask Commander Lin to be my mentor, is that alright?" Ye Jinghe asked expectantly.

"Lin Xun?" Ye Jingchen was somewhat surprised. In his memory, Ye Jinghe and Lin Xun should not have had any interaction.

“It’s him!” Ye Jinghe nodded repeatedly.

Ye Jingchen thought to himself that he was quite good at picking people, choosing the most skilled person in the entire Eastern Palace besides Chenxi.

“Apprenticeship should be based on mutual consent. I’ll ask Lin Xun first to see if he’s willing to teach you.”

"Thank you, brother!" Ye Jinghe said happily.

After dinner, Ye Jingchen had Lin Xun invited over.

"Jinghe wants to become your disciple and learn kung fu from you. I wonder if you are willing?" Ye Jingchen asked him.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and said, "I will obey Your Highness's orders!"

Born into the Duke of Anguo's family, he was Ye Jingchen's staunchest supporter and, in principle, should not have had too much involvement with other princes.

However, the Fifth Prince's birth mother has been banished to the Cold Palace. Without the support of her maternal family or the Emperor's favor, she can only reside in the Eastern Palace. It seems that she is quite favored by the Crown Prince. He is unsure of the Crown Prince's attitude towards the Fifth Prince.

“Since he has chosen you, and if you have no objections, then teach him well. He won’t let you down,” Ye Jingchen told him.

"Your Highness is too kind," Lin Xun replied.

He didn't take Ye Jingchen's words seriously.

No matter how unfavored the Fifth Prince is, he is still His Majesty's child. Regardless of his martial arts aptitude, Lin Xun dares not disappoint him.

With that settled, Ye Jingchen, knowing that Ye Jinghe would need to apply medicine today and that he probably wouldn't let Fang Xi and Fang Rui help him, went to the side hall.

I drank the herbal decoction for treating tooth decay before dinner, but the ointment for applying to the gums and teeth should be applied before bed for the best effect. The medicine for reducing swelling and bruising should also be applied after bathing.

Ye Jingchen first told him that Lin Xun had agreed to teach him kung fu, and Ye Jinghe was naturally very happy.

Afterwards, Ye Jingchen carefully applied medicine to his body, but Ye Jinghe applied the ointment to his mouth himself. Throughout the entire process, he did not let Ye Jingchen see his cavities.

Despite her young age, she pays considerable attention to her image.
