Chapter 554
Chen Zongwen had already prepared fine wine and food, and as soon as Doctor Feng arrived, he immediately addressed him as "Brother Feng".
Doctor Feng responded with "Brother Chen," and the two sat down.
"Top-quality Zhuyeqing liquor! Just delivered from Suzhou!"
Doctor Feng's eyes lit up: "Old man, you're in for a treat!"
Everyone sat down around the table.
Madam Chen also loved to drink, and Yunxi also had a small cup. As she listened to Chen Zongwen and Doctor Feng chatting about all sorts of things, a smile appeared on her lips.
The servants also set up a separate table to eat meat and drink wine.
Le'an downed a mouthful of wine and let out a satisfied sigh: "Ah, compared to life now, the old days were truly unbearable!"
Back in the Marquis's mansion, rules were paramount. But things are different now. She and Jixiang have agreed that each of them will get up a day earlier, and the one who gets up later can even sleep until noon.
Jixiang nodded in agreement.
That's right.
Madam Chen and Yunxi were not troublesome people; they did whatever they could on their own. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had a peaceful and carefree day.
Thinking of this, Jixiang also took a sip of wine.
Just then, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
Le'an hurriedly got up and went to open the door.
The moment she saw the person who had entered, Le'an's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively knelt on the ground: "This servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Le'an shouted these words at the top of his lungs, and the lively atmosphere among the people drinking in the courtyard instantly cooled down.
Doctor Feng even seemed somewhat apprehensive.
who?
Your Highness the Crown Prince?
We've arrived here?
Was he drunk?
Doctor Feng raised his hand and slapped himself.
pain.
Yes, it's true.
He rose in alarm and immediately knelt down.
When the Crown Prince arrived, he saw a courtyard full of people kneeling in neat rows, including Chen Zongwen, who had written the impeachment memorial.
The Crown Prince sighed, took two steps forward, and personally helped Chen Zongwen up: "Teacher, it's been so many years, why are you still so distant with me?"
Chen Zongwen rose with his help, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is of noble status, and this humble subject naturally has to pay homage to Your Highness."
"Teacher, you flatter me."
The Crown Prince stepped forward again and helped Madam Chen up, saying, "Please rise, Madam Chen."
It's Yunxi again.
Finally, the crown prince looked at Doctor Feng.
Although he didn't know the old man, it wouldn't make a difference if he didn't know him.
So he went forward and helped Doctor Feng up.
The prince glanced at the table and said knowingly, "It seems I have disturbed my teacher's enjoyment. How about I punish myself with three cups?"
"I wouldn't dare. Your Highness, please speak frankly. This place is cramped, and it's not appropriate for Your Highness to stay any longer."
These words sound polite, but they're actually a way of telling people to leave.
The crown prince, of noble birth, was always fawned over wherever he went, but upon hearing these words, he seemed completely unperturbed: "My teacher is still angry with me..."
"But teacher, there's something I've never been able to figure out."
Why did you resign from your official post and return to your hometown twenty years ago?
When Xun Ze resigned, he said he was not up to the task. Now, however, he has come forward to impeach him. This is tantamount to telling the world that there was another reason for Xun Ze's resignation back then, and that reason was very likely that the Crown Prince had a problem.
However, Chen Zongwen's expression remained unchanged: "Your Highness is the pride of heaven. This humble subject is unworthy of being your teacher and would only delay Your Highness's progress. Therefore, I request to resign."
