Chapter 149 Third brother, it’s all up to you! (Updated 2)

Since you want the prince to help, you must come empty-handed.

The third prince went to the imperial manor with gifts.

Before coming, he had already prepared a plan in his mind. He believed that no matter what the situation was, he could naturally bring both parties closer and make requests.

However, no matter how much the third prince read poetry and was well-versed in classics, he never expected that after entering the manor, he would see the prince holding a wooden stick and playing with mud.

This scene was so unexpected that the third prince didn’t know how to react.

There was no way. None of the plans he had prepared before coming here were suitable for the current situation.

In this situation, he really didn’t know how to get closer to the prince.

Do you want to play with the mud together?

The 19-year-old third prince refused.

Lu Zexu, on the other hand, leaned on a cane with one hand. Although it was already late autumn, his forehead was still covered with thick sweat. He was panting, and with his pale face and thin body, he looked as if a gust of wind would blow him down.

Seeing the person coming, he smiled and said, "Third brother, you are here at the right time. Come and help me. I have no strength. Ahem!"

Lu Zerong took the stick and started stirring without knowing what was going on.

As a result, there was another prince playing with mud on the farm.

Lu Zerong was not good at martial arts. He preferred reciting poems, calligraphy and painting to wielding spears and sticks. Therefore, he felt a pain in his arms after stirring for a while.

He was about to refuse when he heard the prince's praise.

"Third brother, you are so amazing. You have a good grasp of the stirring force."

"Third brother, your learning ability is so strong. You can grasp the stirring force right from the start. It took me a long time to master it."

Anyway, it was just a bunch of bragging. Lu Zerong felt a little bit carried away and couldn't help wanting to perform better.

Then he mixed the mud for an hour.

When it was over, he even felt tired holding a teacup.

His arms were so sore.

He then realized that he had been fooled, and could not help but raise his vigilance. Although the prince was young, he was very smart.

"Your Highness, is this your new hobby?" He pointed to the mud pile in the yard.

Lu Zexu nodded, his pale face innocent, "I'm free anyway, so why not have some fun? Don't you think it's interesting?"

Lu Zerong: "..."

I didn't know what to say.

Lu Zerong gave up on the idea of ​​getting closer.

He went straight to the point, "Eldest brother and fourth brother have already been crowned kings, fifth brother has done a great job recently, maybe when pencil shops are opened all over the country, he can also be crowned king."

Lu Zexu understood, "Third brother also wants to be crowned king?"

Lu Zerong smiled, "Which prince doesn't want to be crowned king?"

"Then does third brother want to be the crown prince?" Lu Zexu asked again.

Lu Zerong: "???"

So direct?

For this kind of question, shouldn't you just know it in your heart?

Do you need to ask it directly?

He was shocked when he heard Lu Zexu say, "I know."

Lu Zerong: "???"

No, I haven't said a word yet!

How do you know?

What do you know?

No, he had to explain, "Your Highness, I really don't covet the position of the crown prince, please don't misunderstand me."

The expectation in Lu Zexu's eyes suddenly dissipated, and the eyes that were bright just now dimmed.

He said lazily, "If that's the case, then forget it. You don't even have the desire to be the crown prince, so don't even think about being crowned king. I won't help such an unmotivated brother!"

Lu Zerong: "???"

No?

What do you mean?

It turns out that I don't covet the position of the crown prince, or am I wrong?

No, when has ambition been measured by whether you want to be the crown prince?

Lu Zerong only felt that he was shocked too much today, and he couldn't react for a while. His brain couldn't think at all, and he could only follow his instinct.

"What if I say that I have always coveted the position of crown prince?"

Lu Zexu, who was originally lazily leaning against the back of the chair, suddenly straightened up, his eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs, and his surprise was beyond words, "Really?"

Maybe he was too excited, and even his voice became higher.

Lu Zerong was confused and didn't understand.

No, I said I have always coveted your position as crown prince. Why are you so happy?

Suddenly, he had a doubt in his heart. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was beaten too hard by his father before, and his brain was injured?

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why the prince was so happy when he coveted the position of the crown prince.

Lu Zexu was indeed very excited. He reflected for a long time. He had worked hard for so long, but he was still not deposed. The most fundamental reason might be the lack of an outstanding competitor with a clear banner!

The eldest brother was busy with military affairs and didn't even have much time to attend court. He didn't have the energy to perform in the court all the time.

The fourth brother liked to study and had no interest in the position of the crown prince.

The fifth brother was busy opening a store. He was good at running a business and doing accounting, but this talent might be something he exchanged with his brain. With his brain, he'd better not be the crown prince, otherwise Daliang might have to change dynasties at any time. The

only ones left were the second and third brothers.

Now that the third brother has come to visit and is very interested in the position of the crown prince, isn't it like someone just sent a pillow when you are sleepy?

Lu Zexu fell into ecstasy, he quickly jumped off the chair and tightly grasped the hands of the third prince.

He was agile and quick in his movements, and didn't look weak at all as he did at the beginning.

"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you achieve your goal of becoming a king!"

Lu Zerong: "!!!"

No, I'm dizzy.

My brain can't work.

Is there something wrong with my brain? Is it hallucination?

Otherwise, how could he hear that the prince wanted to help him become a king?

He can no longer be sure who has a problem with his brain, him or the prince.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Lu Zexu continued, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I have a perfect plan. I will definitely be crowned king."

"However, you have to work hard on your own. External help is ultimately limited. You must work hard and become the crown prince as soon as possible, so that I can be freed sooner."

Lu Zexu looked at him expectantly, "Third Brother, when can I be free and travel around the famous mountains and rivers? It all depends on you!"

Lu Zerong: "????"

Why does he know every word, but can't understand it when it's put together?
