Chapter 555
The prince looked at him intently for a long time before saying, "My teacher and I... are truly never close."
Chen Zongwen cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Highness, please."
Even if the crown prince wanted to stay, he couldn't stay when they were practically carrying him out.
He had no choice but to leave behind a pile of gifts and turn to leave.
This time, Chen Zongwen did not have anyone throw the gifts out.
After all, this gift represents the face of the imperial family; who would dare to throw it away?
Chen Zongwen isn't tired of living.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Chen family, the Crown Prince ordered his troops to return to Luoyang.
His companions, however, were somewhat dissatisfied with the outcome: "Your Highness, we haven't accomplished anything on this trip. How can we just go back like this?"
"Although that man was once a Grand Tutor, he now refers to himself as a commoner. If Your Highness were to use your power to demand him, he might not—"
Before the man could finish speaking, the Crown Prince interrupted him: "So what if you call yourself a commoner? So many people in the world call themselves commoners, but have you ever seen anyone's memorial reach His Majesty's desk?"
"Even though my teacher is no longer in Luoyang, in Father's heart, my teacher will always be the Grand Tutor, and that will never be shaken."
"Besides, with us here, how can anyone else make a move?"
As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, a figure flashed past from the inconspicuous shadows.
The prince curled his lips into a smile.
"This is... one of His Highness's people?"
The crown prince shook his head: "It used to be."
The prince's words were like a riddle, and the servant scratched his head, saying nothing more.
After the Crown Prince and his entourage left, Le'an, who had been hiding behind the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to tell them.
Madam Chen frowned: "Just like that, you left?"
“After all, he is His Highness the Crown Prince. How could he possibly waste his time with us?” Chen Zongwen was not surprised.
However, Yunxi became interested in another matter: "Father, why did you resign back then?"
Hearing her words, Doctor Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Even the Crown Prince doesn't know the answer to this question, so how could Chen Zongwen tell a little girl like Yunxi?
"Dealing with the royal family is no easy task, especially with His Highness the Crown Prince, who has been versed in the ways of emperors since childhood."
Speaking of this, Chen Zongwen couldn't help but sigh.
"Understanding the mind of emperors is a good thing. If one has the assistance of a wise and capable person, one will surely achieve great things. But if one only understands the mind, then the world will be in great difficulty."
When Chen Zongwen said this, he actually had a certain air of pride about him, which made Yunxi feel a little unfamiliar with him.
Seeing that Chen Zongwen had really said everything, Doctor Duan silently took a sip of wine.
It's true that a daughter's words carry weight!
Yunxi tilted her head: "But Father, the Crown Prince was still young back then, wasn't he? If you had carefully trained him, you might have been able to raise him to be a good prince, right?"
"Teach the Crown Prince?" Chen Zongwen snorted coldly. "Do you know what the most important characteristic of the royal family is?"
"What?"
"Those who follow the trend will prosper, those who oppose it will perish!"
"To put it bluntly, he's stubborn! Stubborner than a donkey! If you say one thing about him, he'll retort with three!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Zongwen glanced at Yun Xi and said, "Even more stubborn than you!"
Yunxi's lips twitched slightly.
She put down her chopsticks expressionlessly, and when she turned to look at Madam Chen, her eyes were already brimming with tears: "Mother, was I very annoying when I was little? Mother, did you also hate me?"
Madam Chen slammed her chopsticks down and reached out to grab Chen Zongwen's ear: "You think you're so great, huh!"
Chen Zongwen's imposing manner vanished instantly, and he cried out in pain, showing none of the arrogance he had displayed just moments before.
Doctor Feng was dumbfounded.
You can't blame him, after all, it's really rare to see a strong man, eight feet tall, hiding from his wife.
Yunxi, however, seemed to be used to it all along, and even took a leisurely sip of wine.
