Chapter 205 Don’t Let Me Do Anything for You (Update 2)

Lu Zexu said righteously, “What’s wrong with that? I don’t want to be the crown prince. Whoever wants to be the crown prince can do it based on their own abilities. See who is more talented and can be recognized by the emperor and the civil and military officials. Isn’t that enough?”

“Isn’t it good to solve the problem peacefully?”

Lu Zexu thought it was a very good idea.

The second prince choked and started to break the jar, “Then help me think of a solution. How to deal with those stubborn old men? And the content behind this, this experiment, is too difficult! I don’t understand it myself, how can I teach my students?”

Lu Zexu immediately became alert. Is he asked to do something?

He shrank into the armchair and held the panda cub in his arms. It was impossible for him to work as he was now a weak and sickly person!

The young prince immediately threw the blame, "It's no use asking me for this matter, you should ask my fourth brother! He's an expert!"

The fourth prince, who was eating mutton hotpot, put down his chopsticks and looked at the second prince with disgust in his eyes, "I can't help."

Lu Zexu was puzzled, "Why?"

The fourth prince had a calm face, "Too stupid, hard to teach."

The second prince stood up and scolded the fourth prince. He pointed at his head in shock, his eyes full of disbelief, "You said I'm stupid?"

"This prince is both civil and military, and has been praised since he was a child! When I was in the Shangshufang, which teacher didn't praise me?"

"On the contrary, you, the fourth prince, are often described by various teachers as a blockhead and a useless piece of wood! You actually said that I am stupid?"

The second prince really couldn't accept this evaluation, and was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Compared with the second prince's anger, the fourth prince was much calmer.

"You are not stupid, but you still ask me for advice?"

The second prince: "..."

Just now, he was like a spirited little rooster, but the fourth prince's words made him speechless.

It was indeed him who needed help.

Seeing this, the young prince immediately tried to mediate, he didn't want to work.

"Second brother, fourth brother, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. This is normal. It is a smart thing to learn from each other's strengths and make up for one's weaknesses."

The second prince walked down the steps, "Fourth brother, I really can't understand the last few chapters, and I really don't understand this experiment. Since you are so awesome, please take the time to give me some guidance."

The fourth prince still had a blank expression on his face, "I am a piece of rotten wood and can't give any guidance."

The little prince almost laughed out loud. The fourth brother also had a way of playing tricks on people. If he was not worried that the second prince would quit in a fit of anger, he would definitely not have endured such hardship.

The little prince saved face for the second prince, but others would not.

"Hahahaha! Fourth brother is right. Since you want to ask others for advice, you should of course show the gesture of asking for advice."

The eldest prince laughed unceremoniously.

The relationship between the third and the second oldest was pretty good. At this moment, he kept his mouth shut, which was his greatest kindness.

The fifth oldest laughed out his little white teeth. The pressure from the second prince, who was a man of both civil and military talents, on his younger brothers was too great.

He had been slapped countless times on the palm of his hand because of the endorsement issue and because of the smart second prince since he was a child!

Now that he finally had a chance to laugh at the second prince, of course he would not miss it, and he laughed the loudest.

"Brother, if you want to ask the fourth brother for guidance and help, then you can put aside your brother's airs and apologize to the fourth brother first. After all, a rotten wood will not guide others."

What could the second prince do?

Thinking about the throne he had always wanted, he could only apologize obediently.

The second prince took a deep breath and picked up the wine glass. "It's my fault, brother. I shouldn't have called you a piece of rotten wood! I will drink three cups to apologize to you."

The little prince wanted to stop him. This was a high-proof liquor from a small supermarket! It

seemed to be called Er Guo Tou. I heard that it also had a nickname, Mendao Donkey.

You can imagine how strong this liquor is!

The second prince drank three cups in a row, and his face turned red immediately. Is the prince's wine so strong?

The fourth prince didn't want to drink much, and he didn't want to instruct the second prince.

He really didn't understand. He had explained such a simple question many times. Why didn't the second brother understand?

He really didn't know how to explain it.

Upon seeing this, the young prince immediately lowered his voice and said, "Fourth brother, you need an assistant to help you with the experiment, right? I guess you don't have many capable helpers in the Ministry of Industry."

"Now there is ready-made free labor! He understands chemistry and knows what you are going to do. He can also help you record data and clean up the place after the experiment. It's a win-win situation!"

The fourth prince was deeply moved when he heard this.

He accepted his apology and drank the wine in his glass with his head raised.

Only the smile on the second prince's face froze, "Your Highness, I can hear you!"

Lu Zexu looked innocent, "But second brother, I told the truth. Moreover, if you want to convince those old scholars in the Imperial College, you must make real achievements, so that they can shut up!"

Of course the second prince knew this!

His face was full of despair, "Is it because I don't want to achieve results? I just can't do it!"

The quiet Third Prince thought of his own experience and thought, "Maybe you can do experiments with your fourth brother, he can really help you."

After all, he got this throne by playing with mud with the crown prince and the fourth brother in the imperial manor. When

Lu Zexu thought of his plan, his eyes lit up, "So the third brother missed the days of playing with mud so much!"

The Third Prince was shocked: I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!

"Fourth brother, aren't you short of manpower for the experiment you are doing now? Third brother is already an expert at mixing mud! You see how much Third brother misses the days of mixing mud, why don't you take him with you? With Second brother as your apprentice, you will definitely have an easier time!"

The key is that if there are enough manpower, they won't have to come over and drag him to join the experiment all the time!

It's so cold in winter, as a frail prince, how can he mix mud with everyone?

The Third Prince thought about the officials and ministers who had gone to seek refuge with him, and he didn't want to go back. It seemed that it would be okay to go to the Fourth Prince to help him.

The Third Prince stubbornly called playing with mud "helping". He would be twenty years old after the Chinese New Year, and he really didn't want outsiders to know that he was still playing with mud!

Only the Second Prince frowned and asked uncertainly, "Really playing with mud?"

This was too damaging to his image as the Second Prince!

He still had to be a role model!

Lu Zexu smiled: "Once the mud is mixed, the throne will come."

The second prince stood up straight in a second, patted his chest with one hand, full of confidence, "Isn't it just mixing mud? It's too simple!"

The fifth prince, who was already eight-tenths full, looked at Lu Zexu with a smile, "Your Highness, you have arranged the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother clearly, don't you have to arrange yourself as well?"

Lu Zexu was shocked, this also let him do the work!
