Chapter 158 Self-taught Skills in Painting Pancakes (1 update)

At that time, the third brother said that the eldest and fourth brothers were able to be crowned kings because of the crown prince, and it was very likely that the crown prince helped, but he didn’t take it seriously and thought it was a bit far-fetched. The third brother said

that this was a means for the crown prince to win over people’s hearts and minds, and that the crown prince just wanted to win over the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince.

Originally, the third brother suggested taking the initiative to ask the crown prince, and if it worked, it would be a way out.

At that time, he felt that it was not face-saving to recommend himself, so he directly rejected the proposal.

How could he know that after such a short period of time, the third prince who took the initiative to come to the door is now the Prince of Rong!

And he is still just an ordinary second prince in the Ministry of Justice!

He thought, the eldest, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the crown prince had all been successful, so even if it was a turn, it should be his turn next.

He had waited in the palace for seven days, but the crown prince had no intention of restraining him. He was so angry that he rushed directly to the East Palace.

"Your Highness restrained the other brothers, but left me behind. Isn't this looking down on me?"

The second prince was very angry. Now among the princes, only he and the fifth prince were left, and the seventh prince was not crowned as a king.

Even if the fifth prince was not crowned as a king, he was doing well in the Ministry of Revenue, and his shop was running in full swing. It was just a matter of time

before he was crowned as a king. As for the seventh prince, he was too young. He had not left the palace to open a house, so naturally there was no question of him being crowned as a king.

So, he was the only one left!

Among the adult princes, only the second prince has not been crowned a king!

How can the second prince, who always prides himself on his talent in both civil and military affairs and his wisdom, bear this?

Lu Zexu understood, "Second brother, do you want to be crowned a king?"

The second prince choked, "It's mainly because you gave advice to other brothers, but not to me. I think you have something against me."

Lu Zexu: "Second brother, do you want to be crowned a king?"

The face-saving second prince continued to explain, "It's mainly because we are all brothers. You stick together and leave me alone. I have to come here to ask for an explanation."

Lu Zexu: "Oh, so second brother doesn't want to be crowned a king."

Second prince: "..."

For the first time, he felt that the crown prince, a 12-year-old kid, was too difficult to deal with.

Lu Zebin bit his back teeth hard, "No, I want to be crowned king."

Lu Zexu smiled, "That's right, we are all brothers, there is no need to hide anything, just speak frankly and directly."

Lu Zebin was delighted, "So, are you willing to give me some advice?"

Lu Zexu nodded, "Of course I am willing, but I don't know what you are good at, what you can do, and what you are willing to do."

Lu Zebin heard it and immediately said, "Your second brother is good at both civil and military affairs, and I can do everything and am willing to do everything. Just tell me, Prince, I will definitely agree!"

Lu Zexu closed his eyes and thought.

Lu Zebin's eyes were full of expectation.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Lu Zexu did not move or say a word.

Lu Zebin: The prince must be testing me , I have to stay calm.

Two quarters of an hour passed .

Lu Zexu remained the same, with no intention of closing his eyes. Lu Zebin: The prince wants to test me more, I have to be patient. Three quarters of an hour passed. Lu Zexu began to snore. Lu Zebin: “!!!!” His face suddenly darkened, “Your Highness the Crown Prince!!” The little prince who had just fallen asleep suddenly opened his eyes and met Lu Zebin’s angry eyes. “Second brother, is there anything else?” He asked calmly, as if nothing had happened, as if he had mistaken Lu Zebin. Lu Zebin was so angry that he laughed, "What did His Royal Highness say?" Lu Zexu blinked innocently, "I don't know, didn't I just say that, second brother, be more direct, don't beat around the bush, be straightforward." Lu Zebin was so angry, "Your Highness said he would give me some advice! Have you thought of any suitable method?" Lu Zexu nodded, "I thought of it, right, this is not so immediate, it may take some time to work. The effect can be seen." Lu Zebin was no longer angry, "Tell me about it." Lu Zexu was now very skilled in fooling people, "This is not something that everyone can do. It is very, very difficult. I just thought about it. Among us brothers, if we talk about who can do it, it is you, the second brother who is both civil and military." Lu Zebin is not good at other things, but he likes challenges. Lu Zexu's words really aroused his interest. "What is so difficult? Your Highness, there is no need to keep us in suspense. Tell me what it is?" Lu Zexu took out the chemistry booklet again and handed it to him, "See if you can understand it." The fourth prince had copied a copy himself before, so he sent back this original copy of Lu Zexu. Lu Zebin's reputation of being both civil and military is not an exaggeration. He is really the least biased among all the princes. At first, he didn't think much of it. It's just a book. What's there to not understand? What kind of sage books has he not read? Then, he was dumbfounded. He knew every word in it, but why couldn't he understand it when it was put together? What elements, oxygen. What molecules, atoms. What physical changes, chemical changes. ... Lu Zebin looked at these words that were obviously very familiar, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together. It was as if he was reading a book in heaven. He insisted on reading three pages, holding on to the extravagant hope that maybe he couldn't understand only the first few, and the rest would be easy to understand. Facts have proved that he thought too much. If you can't understand it, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't understand it. It has nothing to do with how many pages you read.

Just when Lu Zebin wanted to close the book and end his self-torture, Lu Zexu said with emotion, "Second brother is worthy of being the second brother, he is knowledgeable and much better than the third brother!"

Lu Zebin paused when he was about to close the book, "The third brother is known for being well-read, can't he understand it?"

Lu Zexu nodded, praising him with real feelings, "Isn't it? Third brother said that he got a headache when he read it and couldn't read it at all, but I think second brother is someone who can read it."

Lu Zebin shifted his gaze to the book and forced himself to read it again. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's hard to understand, but it's also interesting."

Lu Zexu's eyes lit up, and he praised sincerely, "Second brother is second brother! Third brother is not as good as you!"

"Although the fourth brother can understand and likes to study, he doesn't teach students."

"The eldest and fifth brothers are even worse at studying. After much thought, I think it's still up to the second brother to open up the subject of chemistry and teach and answer questions! Only the second brother can do it!" "

If the matter is done, the second brother will not only be famous in history! He will definitely be the first person to establish a school. Not to mention being crowned king, the position of prince will be within his reach!"

Lu Zexu has already mastered the technique of drawing big cakes without any teacher.
