Chapter 142: Saving the Blackened Tyrant 5
Because of such doting and pampering, Xing Jian was raised as a real playboy since childhood. Such a child actually took the initiative to ask to be the fifth prince's study companion.
In the Golden Palace, the ministers were discussing the matter. Many of them believed that Xing Su only wanted to avoid suspicion, so he deliberately let his youngest son choose a prince who would definitely not inherit the throne as his study companion.
But such a request would be fine for anyone else, but this arrogant young master actually agreed to it? If outsiders knew that this tutoring position was requested by this young master himself, they would probably be shocked.
The palace road was long and winding, and the carriage was rumbling forward. In the carriage, an extremely wide rosewood couch occupied nearly half of the space, and the couch was covered with a thick brocade fur mattress.
Xing Jian leaned lazily on the soft couch, his pair of jade-white bare feet casually stepping on the bottom of the car.
The ground under his feet was not hardwood, but several layers of top-quality snow fox fur blankets. Even in the depths of winter, he would not feel the slightest bit of cold when walking barefoot on them.
Because this was an audience with the emperor in the palace, according to the rules, servants were not allowed to be left on the carriages. If it were an ordinary day, Xing Jian would definitely be accompanied by several servants to serve him personally.
This time, Xingjian was extremely satisfied with the small world identity chosen by 004. Not only was his identity noble, but the character in the original plot was also that of a playboy, which just satisfied Xingjian's vacation enjoyment.
The carriage soon arrived in front of the palace, and all the companions got off in turn without passing through.
"Young Master, we have arrived at the palace gate." A respectful report came from outside the car.
Once entering the palace, each companion had to be inspected by the eunuchs and then led to the imperial study by a young eunuch.
Hearing the sound outside the carriage, Xing Jian instantly perked up. Thinking that he would see Xiao Jiyun soon, he stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage to go out.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the young eunuch who had been waiting outside the carriage hurried forward to help pull the curtain. Another person knelt on the ground and used his back as a step to make it easier for Xingjian to get off the carriage.
Looking at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, Xing Jian frowned slightly, supported himself with his hands, turned over and got off the carriage without stepping on the man's back. Although Xing Jian behaved unrestrainedly and loved luxury, he was most impatient with the cumbersome and humiliating rules in the palace.
The young master leaned on the shaft with one hand and climbed out of the carriage. An old eunuch beside him hurried over and shouted in a shrill voice, "Oh, you blind little monkey! Why did you let Young Master Xing get off the carriage by himself?"
As he spoke, he pulled the young eunuch's ear and pretended to hit him.
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone suddenly looked at the white jade-like child who grabbed the old eunuch's hand and pushed him away.
Xing Jian raised his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp, piercing the old eunuch with a hint of scrutiny. "Why would a mere eunuch bother you, the eunuch, to do this? Or is it because you are dissatisfied with my actions just now and are doing this specifically for me to see?"
Just because he didn't step on the back of the young eunuch, this incident happened. Xing Jian saw that the old eunuch kept looking at him, and he naturally knew that the people in the palace had some thoughts that could not be hidden.
Hearing the young master's reproach, the old eunuch knelt on the ground in fear, attracting everyone's attention. Zhuyue, the maid brought by Xingjian, looked at the eunuch in front of him and immediately stood up without yelling at him. Her voice was crisp but just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
"Eunuch, I wonder who in the palace our young master offended to deserve such treatment from you."
In order to match Zhu Yue's voice, Xing Jian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he actually forced out a few tears, which slid down the corners of his eyes, with a look of having suffered a great injustice on his face.
The several young masters who entered the palace together were naturally all sons of important officials of the court. They naturally knew the evil reputation of Xingjian. Suddenly, seeing the usually naughty little bully suddenly burst into tears with such a tearful look, the injustice in their hearts was instantly ignited.
General Shen's younger brother, Shen Jingyuan, was the first to speak up and confront the old eunuch, "Eunuch, are you trying to intimidate us, your companions? I see you're unfamiliar with your appearance and know you're not one of His Majesty's servants. Could it be that you've been ordered by some other empress to punish us? We must report this to His Majesty and demand justice."
Seeing that more and more people agreed, the old eunuch realized that something was wrong and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. The eunuch in charge who was welcoming the companions into the palace looked at the unfamiliar old eunuch and hurriedly calmed the emotions of the young masters. He had the troublemaker dragged away, and only then did the matter calm down.
After getting off the sedan chair, the young masters walked towards the palace.
The sky was still full of heavy snow. Zhu Yue was standing behind Xing Jian, holding an umbrella with a red plum blossom painted on it. But before she had taken a few steps, Shen Jingyuan, who had just spoken up for her, caught up with her.
Shen Jingyuan, who grew up with General Shen in the northwest border, was chosen as a study companion just a few days after arriving in the imperial capital. Naturally, he had rarely heard of Xingjian's "evil reputation".
Looking at the jade-like child in front of me, I want to stay close to him, but I don’t know which prince’s study companion this child is. If he is also the study companion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they can study in the school together.
"Hey, kid, my name is Chen Jingyuan. What's your name and which family are you from?" Shen Jingyuan jumped in front of Xingjian in a few steps. Shen Jingyuan, who grew up in the northwest, has never had any etiquette. Xingjian casually looked at the guy in front of him and didn't intend to talk to him much. At this moment, his mind was completely occupied by the fact that he was about to meet Xiao Jiyun.
Xing Jian just glanced at him casually without saying anything, but his pace became faster and faster. Zhu Yue beside him answered Shen Jingyuan's words, "Sir Shen, our young master is Xing Jian, the youngest son of Prime Minister Xing."
Seeing Xing Jian ignoring him, Shen Jingyuan felt a little strange. He thought that maybe the child in front of him was unhappy because of what happened with the old eunuch just now, so he naturally didn't think much about it.
But suddenly Xing Jian, who was walking quickly, stopped abruptly. There seemed to be a person standing at the door of the imperial study not far away.
Shen Jingyuan saw the child who had just ignored him and ran towards the figure.
Looking at the boy at the palace gate who was a few years older than them, he was wearing a dark brocade robe and an apricot-yellow belt around his waist, revealing his status as a prince.
The man seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his eyes. Shen Jingyuan's heart was suddenly shocked - he saw a pair of deep blue eyes. Shen Jingyuan, who had lived in the northwest since childhood, recognized that they were a pair of Hu people's eyes. The eyes looked at him coldly and sharp like a poisonous snake. There was a ferocity in the eyes that did not belong to this age, which made people's backs cold.
