Chapter 104 It’s All Master’s Fault
"Why are you still staying in the palace at this hour?" The words of the Emperor Chu revealed his intention to drive him away. His attitude had already made it clear that the young prince of the Northwest was the master of Luohua Palace.
"Yes, father, I will take my leave now." Seeing this, the Sixth Prince was unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey his father's order, so he had to bow respectfully and take his leave.
He couldn't understand why, despite being his father's biological son, the crown prince of the Great Chu, he couldn't compare to a Northwest Prince in his father's heart. What did his father like about Chu Qingyu? Why did he dote on him so much? He even secretly speculated that it was fortunate that Ye Qingyu wasn't a prince, otherwise, the position of heir to the throne would have been his, and he and his brothers wouldn't have had any chance.
Although the Sixth Prince was furious, his fear of the Emperor of Chu was already deep in his bones. Hearing his father's order to expel someone, he didn't dare hesitate for a moment and hurriedly left Luohua Palace.
"Qingyu, why are you still throwing a tantrum like a child? Don't pay attention to the Sixth Old Man. He is narrow-minded and will never achieve anything great." The Emperor of Chu had a dignified look on his face just now, but now, facing Ye Qingyu, a gentle smile appeared on his face and his tone became softer.
"Uncle Emperor, I really don't want to live in the palace anymore. Today it was the Sixth Prince who caused trouble, and who knows who will be the next one tomorrow." Ye Qingyu said with a little emotion.
"Silly child, whoever comes comes to visit you. If you want to see him, you can see him. If you don't want to see him, tell him to get lost! Remember, you are the master of Luohua Palace. Luohua Palace will always be yours." Emperor Chu said, then turned to look at Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, if someone you don't want to see comes to disturb me again, you should boldly drive them out. No matter who it is, I will not only not blame you, but also reward you handsomely."
"Hey, Uncle Emperor, what are you doing? Doesn't this make me seem even more unreasonable?" Ye Qingyu showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, I just like the unreasonable little prince of the Northwest!" The Emperor of Chu laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in Luohua Palace. Qing Yi, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and secretly complained in his heart: This Emperor of Great Chu must have some kind of problem!
"Okay, go back to your bedroom and have a good rest. I said that you can leave the palace when the royal doctor takes your pulse and confirms that you are well again. Otherwise, you must stay in the palace and you are not allowed to go anywhere, let alone return to the palace." After saying this, the Emperor of Chu left Luohua Palace.
"Hey, Xiaoye, if someone who doesn't know the truth hears this, they will definitely think you are the biological son of Emperor Chu!" When there were no one else around, Qing Yi spoke more and more without restraint, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Qingyi, stop talking nonsense!" Ye Qingyu scolded in a low voice. If such words were heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably cause endless trouble. He also couldn't understand why the Emperor of Chu favored him more than the other princes.
This excessive favor was like a double-edged sword to him, knowing full well that it might one day backfire. Therefore, unless there were urgent matters requiring him to go to the capital, he avoided going there on weekdays, and was even more reluctant to stay in Luohua Palace for long periods of time. This seemingly noble place actually harbored a turbulent situation.
"Xiao Ye, did you really sleep comfortably for the whole afternoon and didn't hear the noisy commotion outside?" Qing Yi didn't care about Ye Qingyu's scolding at all and still asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded softly, his tone was flat, as if acknowledging that he had indeed slept for half a day.
"Hahahaha, I don't believe it! With your hearing, how could you not hear such a commotion outside? You're clearly deliberately staying indoors, letting me deal with the Sixth Prince, right?" Qing Yi had just let out a sigh of relief, and now he was in a good mood, his face full of smugness. Xiao Ye must have known that he was dealing with the Sixth Prince, so he deliberately stayed indoors.
"Have you vented your anger?" Ye Qingyu glanced at Qing Yi.
"Of course! But the Emperor Chu was very kind just now. He actually scolded his own son in public. I was a little worried that it would implicate you!" Qing Yi praised the Emperor Chu with a beaming eyebrow.
"Okay, now that you're venting your anger, don't bother them again in the future." Ye Qingyu said seriously. He knew very well that in this palace, less trouble is worse than more. If Qingyi continued to provoke the Sixth Prince and others, he would inevitably get into bigger trouble.
"Got it. Don't worry, I promise I won't cause you any trouble in the future." Qing Yi patted his chest and promised. However, he saw Ye Qingyu concentrating on fiddling with the chess pieces on the board, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why, do you want to play chess?"
"What's the use of thinking about it? You don't know how to play!" Ye Qingyu shook his head helplessly. Although he had slept for half a day, he was not sleepy at all at the moment. With nothing to do, he started fiddling with the chess pieces.
"Uh..." Qing Yi was speechless for a moment after being retorted by Ye Qingyu. He really knew nothing about playing chess.
Actually, this matter really had to be blamed on Master Mo Qitian. Master was usually very strict with him about martial arts training, but apart from martial arts training, he was quite lax in other aspects.
Although his master hired a private tutor specifically for him, Qing Yi was mischievous by nature and would skip classes whenever possible. Even when he did attend class, his mind was elsewhere, his heart unfocused on his studies. As for his talents in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, his master never once asked a single question. Without his master's strict supervision, Qing Yi, who had been active and mischievous since childhood, naturally fell flat on his face academically.
At this moment, Qing Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart, regretting that he had been too playful when he was young. But who could have expected that he would meet someone like Ye Qingyu, who was so talented and had so many interests!
"Shall I teach you how to play chess?" Ye Qingyu asked tentatively when he saw Qing Yi remained silent.
"Teach me how to play chess?" Qing Yi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it. What's the point of sitting there for half a day? I'm too lazy to learn!" He had no interest in these flowery things from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't have the studious and motivated mind like his master Mo Qitian.
"Qing Yi, besides martial arts, what else are you interested in?" Seeing Qing Yi refuse, Ye Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
