Chapter 317: Fighting Club
Long Shou put his hands behind his back, like a child who had made a mistake, and was the one who showed the best attitude in admitting his mistakes.
It's fun to watch the excitement, but fighting will be punished.
Since it was revealed that Xu Zhao was the first to take action, he would naturally be punished the most severely.
Xu Zhao gave his cousin a look, trying to ask him for help.
Xu Chengzhan looked away, he saw nothing.
After having several payments deducted from her salary, Bei Jing initially felt that she was a genius at saving money.
After the meeting, Xu Zhao stopped Xu Chengzhao and complained, "When His Highness punished me just now, you didn't even plead for me."
"Am I your cousin? Have you forgotten the friendship we had when we were kids, playing naked together?"
Heo Seung-joon: "...if you didn't bring this up, we might still have some friendship."
Xu Zhao felt a chill in his heart as he watched a group of them standing there looking at the lively screen wall.
"I just had a fight with someone for my brother, and you were just standing here watching."
"I didn't even think of saying something good for me at that time. It was really chilling."
"So what if I just beg for mercy? Alas, I was fined three months' salary!"
The complaints did not awaken Xu Chengzhao's brotherly love.
He clasped his hands together and moved his arms awkwardly.
"Aiya~ I just listen to the prince~"
"Whatever the prince says goes, this is called the king's words and the ministers follow them~"
Xu Zhao: I don’t know why, but I have an urge to vomit.
I feel like my cousin is broken.
......
On the other hand, Bei Jing, who left after watching the excitement, felt that she had done something wrong.
She shouldn't have wished to God for some melons just because her life was so boring.
Or rather, the wish should be more specific, that is, to eat the melons from other people's homes, not the melons from your own home.
As soon as she opened the memorial, she received an impeachment.
When the second princess Bei Yanyu left the palace, she cut the beard of the Vimalakirti Buddha in Xiangji Temple for fun.
Bei Jingchu:......
Good guy, really good guy.
How dare you cut anything? My ancestor, that is the beard of the Buddha statue! !
You are really not afraid of committing sin!
Although Bei Jingchu didn't reach the point where her eyes went dark, she was almost there.
Her own sister is usually like a little kitten in front of her, but once she goes out, she becomes a naughty child who no one can control.
Normal naughty kids wouldn't be that powerful, but she is a princess. Once she goes outside the palace, without their suppression, she will become a mountain king.
Among Bei Yanyu's study companions, the one with whom she had the best relationship was the daughter of Concubine Qiu Guifei, who was chosen by the Empress Dowager.
When Madam Qiu's birthday was approaching, Bei Yanyu came to the East Palace and begged Bei Jingchu to allow her to attend her friend's birthday party.
Bei Jingchu thought she was just letting her child go out to hang out with friends, and had no idea what kind of person her cute and cuddly sister was in front of others.
Mrs. Qiu is preparing to play grass fighting at her birthday party.
This is a folk game. Just pick a weed from the street, take out the stem, and then both parties pull it from both ends. Whoever's stem breaks loses.
Bei Jingchu also played it when she was a child.
The young prince, who had always been a stingy person, had no idea what tricks this game would bring out when it came to other powerful and noble children.
They are not satisfied with weeds, and only by destroying precious flowers and plants for a rough play can they show off their status and wealth.
At Mrs. Qiu's birthday party, she prepared to compete with all the guests to see who brought the more precious grass stems.
The young children of the rich and powerful do not have to worry about government affairs, nor do they need to earn money to make a living.
So a lot of energy is spent on things you like. For example, if you like to compare, you will compare in all aspects.
Madam Qiu and Madam Cao don't get along well.
The Cao family looked down on the Qiu family for rising to prominence through relatives of the emperor's wife, and considered them nouveau riche.
Madam Qiu also couldn't stand Madam Cao, thinking she was pretending to be noble.
The conflict between the little girls is so simple that it is speechless.
Before the birthday party, Mrs. Qiu found out that Mrs. Cao had found a lotus flower with a white crown to participate in the grass-fighting party.
It is so precious that the value of a pot of orchids is enough to buy a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
His own birthday party was being used as an opportunity for his arch-enemy to show off.
Madam Qiu was unwilling to accept this, so she went to the Second Princess to cry and complain.
Seeing her little friend so sad, Bei Yanyu felt like a big sister and said that she would definitely make Madam Cao pay.
The two of them came up with the idea of stealing the beard of the golden Buddha statue.
Just cut off a handful and that's it. Bei Jingchu can also give the other person some treasures and a gift as compensation, and the matter will be over.
Damn this naughty kid, he was afraid that others would come up with the same idea as her and surpass them in popularity, so he just burned off all the remaining beard with fire!
The beard is not just as simple as the one on the Buddha statue.
There is another origin, which is that it is a relic left by a great poet of the previous dynasty.
Xie Lingyun of the previous dynasty had a beautiful beard. Although Bei Jingchu was not good at appreciating beards, it didn't matter.
After his death, he donated his beard to Xiangji Temple to be used to decorate Buddha statues, and it has been preserved for three hundred years to this day.
Xie Lingyun's talent and reputation spread far and wide, and his poems were what Bei Jingchu and his classmates had to recite and appreciate in school.
He is almost a celebrity who is essential for learning poetry.
The original copies of his poems are also sought-after masterpieces, and she has a copy hanging in her study.
Then, the naughty kid burned his remains!
Bei Jingchu stood up from his desk and walked out the door angrily.
The palace maids passing by lowered their heads, wondering what kind of national or familial event could have made the good-tempered prince so angry.
Was it an uprising somewhere?
The angry prince passed by a palace maid who was wiping the furniture with a feather duster.
As soon as the maid of honor finished her ceremony, her hands were empty.
The chicken feather duster was taken away by the prince.
The prince only said, "Thank you."
Then he stormed away again.
The maid held her face in her hands and boasted to her companions beside her excitedly: "Your Highness is so polite~ Your Highness said thank you to me~"
But she grabbed the feather duster as if she was going to hit someone.
Ah, who will be beaten?
No matter what, as long as the prince thanked her, she was happy.
Bei Yanyu didn't know yet that she was in great trouble. The little girl who had just become famous was still savoring the happiness she had at that time.
Really... I feel happy just thinking about it hehehehe~
That day, Bei Yanyu left the palace early in the morning and rushed to Xiangji Temple to get a beard.
It was already much later when we arrived at Qiu Mansion.
The guests who came to make the princess's acquaintance had not heard the princess arrive for a long time, and they could not help but look down on Madam Qiu.
He complained to his relatives: "Isn't it said that this young lady is the second princess's favorite study companion?"
"How come the princess didn't come to the birthday party and didn't even bring a gift?"
People who were traveling with her speculated: "Maybe she just made up this name herself."
"This is a waste of our entire day. We can just wait until lunch is over and then make an excuse to go back."
