The other side.
He ran back quickly and closed the door of Xiangjingzhai. Seeing that the guards did not chase him anymore, Ye Shuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom! Look what I brought back!"
Hearing the noise outside, Concubine Rong slowly walked out of the room. Seeing the bucket of lively fish in her son's hand, Concubine Rong was stunned.
Still, there really is...
"My son is really promising." As expected of a royal concubine, in her eyes, even if Ye Shuo only caught a few fish, he was as good as someone who saved the world.
Ye Shuo has become accustomed to this.
It was getting dark. After the fish was cleaned in the small kitchen, Ye Shuo took out the grill, lit the charcoal, put the fish on the grill, sprinkled salt, cumin, chili powder, etc. on it, and soon the aroma spread far away.
I have to say here that chili peppers have actually been around for a long time. It is recorded in Lüshi Chunqiu·Xiaoxinglan·Benwei: "The things that are blended must be sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty." "Tongsuwen" even said: "Spicy is called spicy." From this, we can know that the "spicy" here refers to the spicy taste.
It's just that the variety of peppers is different. Today's peppers are more like chili peppers. Although they lack the fragrance, they are very spicy.
After all, he often went camping in his previous life, so Ye Shuo had excellent cooking skills. Soon, the grilled fish under his hands began to sizzle with oil.
Concubine Rong didn't like this kind of heavy-flavored food, and she couldn't get used to eating chili peppers, but the grilled fish tasted so delicious that she couldn't help but put down the bowl of porridge in her hand.
Seeing his mother looking over here from time to time, Ye Shuo wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to do so. He laughed and motioned Su Yue to bring a clean small bowl over.
After the small bowl arrived, Ye Shuo took out the belly of the roasted carp, put it in the bowl, and motioned Su Yue to give it to his mother.
The belly of a fish is the essence of the fish. It is rich in fat, tender and boneless, making it the most suitable for eating.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Rong immediately smiled happily, feeling that she had not raised this son in vain. Although he was a little irritating on weekdays, which prince could be as caring as her own son?
The virtuous concubines, the virtuous concubines, and the virtuous concubines are all inferior to me.
Concubine Rong couldn't help but pick up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The rich salty, fresh and spicy taste immediately stimulated her eyes and turned red.
hiss…
So spicy, so spicy, so spicy!
It was the first time for Concubine Rong to eat such spicy food, and she felt it was actually quite good. She was greedy for a moment and ended up eating a little more.
Ye Shuo thought that there were so many people in the palace, at worst he could just share the remaining ones with Su Yue and the others, so he continued to roast with confidence.
All the food from the four fish ended up in Concubine Rong's stomach.
But even without the fish belly, the fish body was still good. In short, everyone in Xiangjingzhai had a very happy meal tonight.
Only when Xiao Luzi came back, the news he brought back made Ye Shuo silent for a while.
I didn't expect that my cheap dad was so naive. He really thought that taking my bucket of fish was revenge. But it's good that he thinks so. God bless, I hope my cheap dad will never find out the truth...
The next morning, Emperor Jingwen came out from the Empress's place and arrived at Yuqianzhai soon after. He saw that the little bastard had not come to apologize as he had promised yesterday, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards to arrest him.
Ye Shuo was almost dug out of his bed by the guards. He had a barbecue too late yesterday and went to bed late too. It was only the morning hour now, which could be no more than six or seven at best. Ye Shuo was so sleepy that he could not even open his eyes, and even the guards had to help him put on his clothes.
Seeing that the Ninth Prince refused to get up, and the emperor's order was hard to disobey, the guards weighed the matter for a moment, and finally carried Ye Shuo directly to Yuqianzhai.
"Just wait, I will remember... you... zzzzz" After barely saying these harsh words, Ye Shuo couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The guards were nervous at first when they heard this, but then they remembered that it was the emperor's order and that the Ninth Prince was only a prince now, so they did not take it too seriously.
When Emperor Jingwen saw his son's "miserable condition", he couldn't help but laughed, and his originally boring and depressed mood was instantly swept away.
Even the prince next to him suddenly felt much more relaxed when reviewing memorials.
Ye Shuo was too lazy to even open his eyelids. He always felt that these two people were mentally unbalanced and couldn't stand seeing others do well. They would not be satisfied until they made others suffer the same way as themselves.
Ye Shuo felt that his cheap father and the prince were clearly jealous! !
Fortunately, something seemed to happen this morning and everyone was busy, including the Grand Tutor and Lord Cen. A group of people were making a lot of noise in Yuqianzhai, like a vegetable market. Ye Shuo took this opportunity to lie on the table and catch up on his sleep.
Then the following scene appeared in Yuqianzhai:
"Your Majesty, there has been a sudden rainstorm in Yuzhou. I think the river bank dam may be in danger of bursting..."
“Huff, huff, huff.”
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Yangzhou governor, this old minister has something to report."
“Huff, huff, huff.”
“Your Majesty…”
“Huff, huff, huff.”
Ministers: "..."
The ministers paused, and then all looked towards the source of the voice.
The veins on Emperor Jingwen's forehead twitched uncontrollably. He had never known that his son had the habit of snoring when he slept.
If the little bastard was not pretending, Emperor Jingwen would dare to eat the inkstone at hand.
As if he had noticed his stepfather's gaze, Ye Shuo's snoring became louder.
Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to say, "Go and play in the garden first." He really didn't have time to take care of him today.
"Okay!"
"Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father and all the adults for your hard work. I will take my leave now."
Ye Shuo jumped up and didn't show any sign of sleepiness at all.
He could live such a carefree life now, thanks to the contributions of his stepfather, the Crown Prince, and all the adults, so Ye Shuo's attitude was naturally very good.
For some reason, everyone felt uncomfortable when the Ninth Prince looked at them like that.
Seeing that the other party ran out of Yuqianzhai without hesitation, as if there was a dog chasing him, the ministers could not help but sigh and shake their heads in their hearts.
The ninth prince is hopeless. This is the first time I see a prince so averse to political affairs.
What a good opportunity! It's really a waste of resources.
It took a long while before all the adults and Emperor Jingwen found their voices again.
Ye Shuo didn't care what they thought. He took Xing Yucheng and went straight to the garden.
Fishing here is really boring. Ye Shuo thought about it and couldn't help but look at the two of them: "Do you two want to swim?"
Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi were stunned at first, and then shook their heads.
"Okay then, I'll go by myself."
After saying this, Ye Shuo began to take off his clothes.
The heat this year is particularly severe. It is already very hot in June. No wonder my cheap dad made arrangements in advance and brought a large group to the garden to escape the heat.
Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi were completely stunned as they watched the Ninth Prince strip off himself until he was left with only his underwear.
After confirming once again that he was not exposed, Ye Shuo began to do warm-up exercises. Then he took a deep breath, and with a perfect entry into the water, Ye Shuo dived into the lake like a fish.
It’s over!
The ninth prince fell into the water!
Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi immediately panicked, and just when they were about to run and shout for help, Ye Shuo floated up.
The Ninth Prince just floated away like that!
He was seen lying flat on the water, clearly doing nothing, but showing no intention of sinking.
Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi were simply stunned.
"You two are on the shore, do whatever you want."
Large patches of scorching sunlight sprinkled on Ye Shuo's face and body. With his head resting on his hands, Ye Shuo could not help but close his eyes. He looked so comfortable.
call--
This is what summer vacation is. Staying in Yuqianzhai every day is bullshit!
It took Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi a long time to pick up the chin that fell to the ground.
Just like that, Ye Shuo began to drift around along the flow of the lake.
When passing by the stone bridge, the commander-in-chief happened to be patrolling here. He lowered his head and glanced down inadvertently, and saw the Ninth Prince floating on the water with his eyes closed. The commander-in-chief was so scared that he almost lost his soul.
In just two breaths, the commander-in-chief had even decided where to bury himself.
Until Ye Shuo opened his eyes, waved at him, and said hello: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief."
The commander-in-chief: “…”
The commander-in-chief and the guards on the bridge saw the Ninth Prince drifting away.
When passing by the lotus pond, Ye Shuo looked at the blooming lotus and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It is not yet the season for lotus seeds to mature, so we will have to wait until next month.
As usual, Prince Su arrived at the best fishing spot early in the morning, put down a chair, hung bait, cast the rod... The whole set of actions seemed to have been practiced thousands of times and could not be more familiar.
It was almost noon and Prince Su had not caught any fish. Just as he could not help tapping his knee with his index finger, he saw a streak of white slowly drifting towards him, then slowly drifting away along the current.
Prince Su was a little dazed for a moment.
Prince Su thought that there was nothing wrong with his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the one in the water should be his nephew... ?
As Ye Shuo moved, Prince Su's gaze also moved.
After Emperor Jingwen finally finished dealing with the matter, he summoned the guards and asked where his son was, and this was the news he received.
To be honest, Emperor Jingwen had never seen it, and he really couldn't imagine it.
Driven by curiosity, Emperor Jingwen brought his men to the lake.
Just like that, a large group of people, including the Grand Tutor and others, came here to watch the Ninth Prince swimming.
To be honest, this scene is indeed quite magical.
Even though his son didn't move, Emperor Jingwen thought he was dead.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Jingwen winked at the guard beside him.
The guards understood and two of them who were good at swimming came out. After taking off their outer clothes, they jumped into the water silently.
But Ye Shuo was such a perceptive person that he sensed something was wrong before the other party got close.
Ye Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the two guards were only a dozen meters away from him. Without thinking, he immediately started to move.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the Ninth Prince was like a duck. He did not give the guards any chance to approach him, and swam quickly on the water to the other side of the lake.
At first the guards were able to keep up, but at the back, the Ninth Prince soon left them behind.
Emperor Jingwen watched his son come ashore, make a face at him, then suddenly dive into the grass behind him and disappear without a trace.
There were only two guards left soaking in the water. It was not right to chase them, nor was it right not to chase them.
Emperor Jingwen: “…………”
Seeing the emperor's chest rising and falling, the ministers looked away tactfully, pretending not to see it.
In this way, for a period of time in the future, Ye Shuo would make trouble whenever he got the chance when his cheap father was particularly busy. At this time, what could a parent do? He could only let the child go so that he could work with peace of mind.
Every time Ye Shuo came out of the rain-preserving room, Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and refused to tear down the table.
Ye Shuo didn't know what his stepfather was trying to do. Was he just trying to compete with him?
As a result, as the father and son tortured each other, Emperor Jingwen soon discovered his son's other skills.
In addition to fishing and swimming, he also learned to climb trees. He could reach the top of a ten-meter-tall tree in just a dozen or twenty breaths. As for a short willow tree, that was even easier for him.
What’s even more terrifying is that he actually used ropes to weave a hammock on the treetops. Emperor Jingwen could often see him lying in the hammock watching the sunset in the evening.
Sitting on top of this century-old tree, you can have a panoramic view of most of the lake.
The little grandson of the emperor who was watching eagerly below was almost crying with envy.
The prince had a bad feeling and quickly ordered his son not to follow his uncle and go to such a dangerous place.
It was useless even though the little prince was drooling.
While Ye Shuo was looking at the scenery, he was still shouting: "Father, Third Brother, are you really not going to consider coming up?"
Go up, go up, go up, shit!
Does he think that everyone is born in the year of the monkey like him?
Emperor Jingwen flicked his sleeves and left in anger for the umpteenth time.
After everyone left, Ye Shuo couldn't help but open his arms and let the wind blow through him. He felt that nothing could be more enjoyable than this moment.
This is what freedom is, it's fascinating.
The days passed one by one, and throughout the garden, one could often hear the Emperor Jingwen's roar, the Ninth Prince's escape, and the Crown Prince's voice of reconciliation.
Everyone felt nervous at first, but later on, everyone became numb.
The workload of the guards around Emperor Jingwen was unprecedentedly huge. They just couldn't understand how the Ninth Prince had so much energy that he could climb trees and go to the lake every day without feeling tired.
As a result of Ye Shuo's behavior, Emperor Jingwen also had to exercise a lot more. He also had to be prepared for "surprises" from time to time, so his heart became stronger than before.
The days passed one by one like this. After about a month, the queen found that she had not changed her clothes that month. She was so excited that she hurriedly summoned the imperial physician she trusted.
While the imperial physician was taking her pulse, the queen didn't even dare to breathe.
About an incense stick of time passed, and finally, under the Queen's urgent gaze, the imperial physician's brows relaxed and he kowtowed.
"Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam."
After realizing what the other party meant, the queen almost cried for joy.
Finally, I have waited for this day.
