Chapter 465: The Teachable Child
"I'll tell you later." Chu Liuzheng said, "I know my own affairs. You should focus on doing your own thing and don't let those with ulterior motives lead you by the nose."
Chu Shangming nodded: "You have been smart since you were young, I will listen to you."
"If you don't listen to me, you should use your brain more." Chu Liuzheng said helplessly, "Brother, there are so many twists and turns in the officialdom. You should think twice before saying anything to others and think about their purpose. Otherwise, how can you cope with it?"
Chu Shangming accepted the advice: "Okay."
Chu Liuzheng looked at him and felt that he looked stupid, and was very worried.
She thought for a moment and whispered, "You can learn from Master Pei and Young Master Yan. They were both carefully raised at home. Master Pei is steady, while Young Master Yan is eccentric. Ask Young Master Pei about serious matters, and ask Young Master Yan about less serious matters."
Chu Shangming felt he needed to defend his friend, "Brother Yan is a serious man."
Chu Liuzheng: "...That's not the point. As long as you understand what I mean, that's fine."
Chu Shangming seemed to understand, but he finally made up his mind to follow King Xiao.
The brother and sister talked for a while, and when it was almost time, Chu Liuzheng gave them one last word of advice: "When you're out and about, don't make friends with people you don't know well."
She was really afraid that her brother would send her to jail because of making friends.
Chu Shangming agreed readily and did whatever his sister said.
Chu Liuzheng then called Chen Xing and Si Yue in.
The two had long known that there was more than just Chu Liuzheng in the hall, so they were not surprised to see Chu Shangming.
Chu Liuzheng briefly introduced both parties. After the three of them greeted each other, Chu Shangming opened the door and walked out.
Chu Liuzheng changed his clothes and came out. He didn't see anyone and didn't ask any questions. He took Chen Xing and Si Yue out.
In the yard, Xiao Jingfan, who had wanted to disappear because King Xiao demanded funds, finally brought his people back. He immediately took Chu Liuzheng to say goodbye and left without looking back.
Chu Liuzheng hurriedly turned around and waved to King Xiao.
King Xiao smiled and shook his head, then ordered someone to bring Chu Shangming over.
He stared at the young man in front of him, whose expression was completely different from before, and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes." Chu Shangming bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to follow Your Highness through fire and water."

The night is as dark as ink, and the early autumn night is already a little chilly.
On the quiet palace road, Chu Liuzheng shook his held hand and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the back hall to see my elder brother just now."
Xiao Jingfan: "Yeah."
The tone was not surprising at all.
[Tsk, the tyrant really knows. Glad I didn't hide it. The tyrant is so suspicious. Hiding it all will only lead to disaster. Who knows, it might become the trigger for something else.]
Chu Liuzheng silently said a few words to be honest with each other, and for some reason, she asked, "Don't you think it's against the rules?"
Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and said, "It's in accordance with the rules if you tell me on your own initiative."
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[Isn't this the same as saying leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist?]
She thought for a moment, cleared her throat, and complained seriously, "Your Majesty, my brother has been plotted against, and I'm not happy."
Xiao Jingfan looked at her: "You want me to stand up for big brother?"
Chu Liuzheng: "Is it not possible?"
"Okay." Xiao Jingfan squeezed the hand in his palm, with a hint of smile in his cold voice.
[Oh my, my ears are numb. Isn't the Tyrant's golden thigh too responsive to all requests?]
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Liuzheng said as he scratched his palm with his fingers lightly, but when Xiao Jingfan looked over, she looked innocent, as if the person who was flirting with him was not her.
Xiao Jingfan glanced at them, and Zhou Yuande and others immediately stepped back, looking down at the ground together, as if silver had suddenly grown on the ground bathed in moonlight.
Chu Liuzheng felt a tightness around his waist, his back touching the cold wall, and then two warm lips covered him.
"Hmm."
She subconsciously raised her hands, wrapped them around Xiao Jingfan's neck, and tilted her head back to respond in the familiar sandalwood scent.
The hot breathing disappeared between the lips and teeth. Xiao Jingfan held the person in his arms tighter and tighter, and his big hands pinched the back of Chu Liuzheng's neck soothingly. The eager kiss gradually became gentle and affectionate.
When they separated, their noses touched each other, both of them feeling a little reluctant to leave.
[The Tyrant's kissing skills have improved dramatically.]
Chu Liuzheng was panting, his almond eyes were watery, and his cheeks were rosy, more charming than the moonlight tonight.
Xiao Jingfan took only one look and then moved closer, holding the slender waist, but was blocked by a white hand.
"Let's go back to the Yangxin Palace first." Chu Liuzheng tried hard not to look down, feeling that something bad might happen if he continued kissing.
Xiao Jingfan stared at her, his voice low and hoarse: "Kiss first."
Chu Liuzheng: "Go back."
Xiao Jingfan took her hand away and kissed her rosy lips again, suppressing Chu Liuzheng's resistance in his throat.
Chu Liuzheng pushed it symbolically, but if he couldn't push it away, he would just go with the flow.
Beauty is so alluring, no wonder she couldn't control herself.
After another contribution, the room between the bed curtains finally became quiet.
Before Chu Liuzheng fell asleep, he had only one thought: he must sleep in separate beds!
"No." Xiao Jingfan decisively rejected this unreasonable request. He carefully finished the last stroke, turned Chu Liuzheng's head, and asked her to look in the mirror. "How is it?"
The person in the mirror had a pair of fine, curved eyebrows that looked as if they had been cast in a mold. After practicing for so many days, His Majesty the Emperor had finally mastered the art of drawing eyebrows.
The boy is teachable.
"Excellent." Chu Liuzheng praised generously, and before he put on lipstick, he leaned over and kissed the emperor twice on the face.
[Ah, finally I don't have to put on makeup or remove it from now on. Congratulations! Congratulations!]
Xiao Jingfan was speechless. This woman was so excited not because he drew his eyebrows well, but because she didn't have to worry about it anymore? He hadn't practiced for a long time, had he?
If Chu Liuzheng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely ask Siyue to show him the empty box of goose fat cream.
After putting on her makeup, Chu Liuzheng prepared to change her clothes, but the emperor still stood there, unwilling to leave. She asked in confusion, "His Royal Highness Prince Xiao is leaving the capital today. Aren't you planning to see him off in person?"
"I want to give it to you." Xiao Jingfan picked up a powder box and played with it, "Waiting for you to come together."
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[Tyrant, do you mean I can leave the palace with you?]
Xiao Jingfan put the powder box back on the dressing table and looked up at her: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes, don't miss the time."
"Oh, okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed and went behind the screen to change clothes. Halfway through, he suddenly ran out and hugged the emperor, then ran back.
It was like a gust of wind, which startled the servants in the hall.
Xiao Jingfan coughed lightly and said, "Go do your own thing." The corners of his lips raised, unable to suppress it.
Eunuch Zhou led his people to check the prepared things again, and he felt so relieved.
Chu Liuzheng changed into his going-out clothes as quickly as possible and took the emperor's hand. "Your Majesty, let's go have breakfast."
【Hey, get out of the palace, get out of the palace, get out of the palace! 】
"Let's go eat." Xiao Jingfan held her hand in his backhand, "I heard that the crab meat buns at Yunhezhai are good. Let's go try them."
