Chapter 284 Why bother outsiders with collecting corpses?
Pei Yunjian and Yan Chengtao both shook their heads.
Seeing this, Yun Jijiu handed Chu Shangming a lacquered envelope and waved to the three of them: "It's getting late, go back and pack your things."
"Students take their leave." The three of them saluted in unison.
"I'll go this way." Yan Chengtao was not in the same dormitory with the two of them, so he turned and left after saying this.
Pei Yunjian shook his head and walked back side by side with Chu Shangming.
Chu Shangming was looking down at the envelope in his hand.
Pei Yunjian glanced at it and said, "This is the lacquer seal of Prince Xiao's Mansion."
Chu Shangming was a little surprised and guessed that King Xiao might have something to tell him. He planned to read the letter after returning to the school.
Pei Yunjian tilted his head to look at him: "Why did you ask that question just now, sir?"
"Don't we get a monthly subsidy?" Chu Shangming scratched his cheek. "I thought if the Ministry of Revenue doesn't provide meals, I'll come back to eat."
Pei Yunjian: "..."
You're thinking quite far ahead.
He said, "It takes half an hour to go from the Ministry of Revenue to the Imperial College and back by carriage." Not to mention walking.
Chu Shangming said happily: "I run fast."
Pei Yunjian: "..."
He said helplessly: "The Ministry of Revenue provides meals."
Chu Shangming's eyes lit up and he became even happier.
He said, "I'll tell Brother Ren the good news later."
"Why tell him?" Pei Yunjian looked up at the sky, not very familiar with him.
Chu Shangming looked at him: "Did you have another fight with Brother Ren?" Weren't you fine this morning?
"Who quarreled with him?" Pei Yunjian quickened his pace, almost jogging.
Chu Shangming hurriedly chased after him, secretly wondering, why is he getting awkward again?
The two of them were walking fast and unexpectedly bumped into Ren Qingxia who had heard the news and rushed over.
Ren Qingxia took the opportunity to put his arm around the waist of the person in his arms to help him stand firmly.
Pei Yunjian's ears turned slightly red, and he raised his eyes and glared at him.
Ren Qingxia's innocent face, you bumped into my arms yourself.
"I'm leaving first." Chu Shangming felt that this was an opportunity for the two friends to reconcile, so he immediately trotted away.
Pei Yunjian: "..."
"I'll take you back." Ren Qingxia nudged him with his shoulder. "What does the chief priest want you to do?"
Pei Yunjian didn't want to pay attention to him and kept walking forward.
"Hey!" Ren Qingxia followed. "My mother wanted to find a girl for me, but I didn't want to. Why are you so angry with me? Isn't your aunt also looking for one for you?"
He felt wronged, he was angry, and he really needed someone to comfort him.
At the same time, Eunuch Zhou felt that the emperor also needed someone to coax him.
He carefully looked at Xiao Jingfan's gloomy face and secretly blamed King Xiao.
There are so many palace maids in the whole palace, why do you only target Chu Liuzheng to order around?
Chu Liuzheng was also very depressed.
It's a happy event that Princess Xiao is pregnant, and it's also a good thing that Prince Xiao is happy and wants to pick out some gifts for the princess. But how can this happy event and this good thing combined become unpaid overtime for her?
She didn't know Princess Xiao's preferences, so why should she ask her about choosing a gift?
She was secretly complaining when King Xiao held up a night-shining pearl and asked her, "Is this good?"
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
"Too ordinary." King Xiao put the night-shining pearl aside, picked up a pair of jade bracelets and asked her, "How are they?"
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
King Xiao looked at her and said, "You are just trying to fool me."
"I dare not." Chu Liuzheng said sincerely, "I am not very knowledgeable. The things that His Majesty has chosen are all good. I think they are all good."
"Since everything is fine, let's send it back." King Xiao signaled Kunqi to pack up everything on the table and instructed, "Ride as fast as you can and make sure it's delivered before the princess leaves." The fetus was only over a month old and could not withstand the bumpy journey.
Kunqi tied the gift with a red ribbon and carried it out.
Chu Liuzheng also wanted to leave, but King Xiao asked her to sit down and drink tea and have some snacks.
"Your Majesty, I have to go back and serve His Majesty dinner. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
She really doesn't want to listen to Eunuch Zhou's nagging.
King Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to hear the result?"
That’s still a thought.
Although the system can also be viewed, it takes time to search.
Chu Liuzheng immediately sat down and pretended to listen attentively.
King Xiao said, "I have chosen three people, and Chu Shangming is one of them."
Chu Liuzheng opened his eyes wide in surprise and praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"
King Xiao laughed: "According to you, if I don't choose Chu Shangming, I am not wise?"
Chu Liuzheng continued to flatter him: "No matter what decision the prince makes, it will be wise."
King Xiao didn't argue with her and said, "Do you know what I want them to do? It might not be a good thing, and we might even be condemned by thousands of people."
"No." Chu Liuzheng curled his eyes. "I believe in Your Majesty and the Prince. What Your Majesty and the Prince want to do is definitely something that will benefit the people's livelihood."
Hearing this, King Xiao's eyes deepened and he stared at her for a moment, realizing that she was not trying to please him with flattery, but believed him from the bottom of her heart.
He couldn't help but shake his head: "You are so trusting in the palace. If you accidentally lose your life one day, I can collect your body for you."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Then I’d rather not do that.
Why bother with outsiders with collecting the bodies? Her brother is totally capable of doing it.
"A-choo!" At the back door of the grocery store, Chu Shangming, who was carrying two large bags, looked up at the sky and sneezed loudly.
Chu Yuxin opened the door and looked at her brother in confusion: "Brother, why are you back?" Shouldn't he be studying hard in the Imperial College?
"Something happened." Chu Shangming walked in.
There was food on the stone table in the yard, and Bai and Father Chu were sitting at the table.
Seeing him suddenly come back, Bai asked hurriedly: "Have you eaten?"
"No." Chu Shangming put the bundle back into his room and came out holding a long paper roll in his hand.
Mrs. Bai went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks and called her son to come and eat.
Chu Shangming handed the paper roll to Chu Yuxin and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
Chu Yuxin opened the scroll and found a picture of a beautiful girl on it.
She didn't look closely, but turned and shouted towards the kitchen: "Brother, is that my sister-in-law in the picture?"
There was a bang from the kitchen.
Chu Shangming was so frightened by his sister's shout that he knocked over the basin of water.
"Don't talk nonsense." He came out wiping his hands. "The one in the painting is your sister."
The three of them were stunned.
Chu Shangming said: "Today, His Majesty came to the Imperial College, and I saw that You Miao was very young, so I drew her like this."
He was afraid of forgetting, so he drew it out as quickly as possible.
The three of them stared at the painting in unison, their scorching gazes seeming to stare a hole through it.
"Yes, it's Youmiao." Bai covered her mouth and stroked the portrait with trembling fingers.
She would not mistake these eyebrows and eyes, they were her childhood beauty.
Father Chu's nose felt sore when he saw this.
When he went to Xiancheng to look for his relatives, something happened and he was gone for five years. At that time, Youmiao was only seven years old.
She was a thin and petite girl, always cheerful, smiling at everyone and speaking in a pleasant way. Everyone in the village liked her.
I didn't expect it to grow so big in the blink of an eye.
"Sister." Chu Yuxin murmured, and then burst into tears without warning, with big tears falling down.
The crying sound scared Chu Shangming and the other two.
Bai quickly coaxed her daughter.
Chu Yuxin buried herself in her mother's arms and cried sadly, as if she had been beaten with a carrying pole.
Xiao Wu heard the noise, jumped up to the top of the wall and asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay." Chu Shangming pointed at Chu Yuxin, "It's just that this girl misses her sister."
Xiao Wu glanced at the portrait on the table, without asking any questions, took the peanuts handed to him by Chu Shangming, and climbed back over the wall.
Under Bai's comfort, Chu Yuxin finally stopped crying and looked at her brother with a pair of rabbit-like red eyes: "Why don't you bring my sister back?"
