The next day when Bai Luoyu went to attend class, he saw that the second prince's seat was still empty, and everyone else was looking at Bai Luoyu.
As he glanced at the crowd, he saw the Third Prince waving his hands frantically at him.
It was not good to pretend not to see it, so he nodded slightly to the Third Prince and then sat down in his seat.
On the way back from rest, the third prince caught up with them again. Bai Luoyu had no choice but to let him follow and listen to his nagging explanations.
"Third Prince, what exactly do you want to do?" Bai Luoyu kept chattering along the way, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He could sense that the Third Prince had no ill intentions, but he was really not used to his excessive enthusiasm, so he stopped and planned to ask for clarification.
"I really want to meet my elder brother Crown Prince. He is the person I admire the most. I study martial arts hard for my elder brother Crown Prince. In the future, I will lead the troops for him and expand our territory." The Third Prince looked solemn and did not seem to be pretending.
Bai Luoyu was speechless: "If you want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, go find him. Why are you following me?"
"I dare not. I only dare to look at him from a distance. If I get close to him, let alone talk, I have to breathe softly. You don't know, the Crown Prince's aura is too strong." The third prince recalled how he looked every time he saw Gu Nianchen. The expression on his face was weird, a little intoxicated?
Bai Luoyu looked at him, even more confused. Did he really know what he was talking about? I don't know? I'm with Brother Chen every day, how could I not know?
"So you dare to follow me?" Bai Luoyu simply didn't understand what the third prince wanted to do.
"You live in the Prince's Palace and can see the Crown Prince every day. Can you please put in a good word for me? Any terms are fine." The Third Prince's tone was almost begging.
Bai Luoyu's expression remained indifferent. He said, "No, if you don't even dare to meet him, how can you talk about leading by example?"
After saying this, he threw the third prince there again and left.
The Third Prince was stunned for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You're right. I don't even dare to talk to my brother the Crown Prince, so how can I have the nerve to say anything else?"
After figuring it out, he became happy again and ran towards the Prince's Palace.
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu, who were preparing to have lunch, frowned when they heard the eunuch report that the third prince wanted to see him.
"Please come in, Third Prince."
The young eunuch took the order and ran out, and soon led the third prince in.
"Nian Ke pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The third prince saluted respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. What brings you here, third brother?" Gu Nianchen asked, confused.
The third prince raised his head and glanced at Gu Nianchen. All the psychological preparations he had built up collapsed the moment he met his eyes.
So I started to panic again. I looked at the person I admired. He was right in front of me and I couldn't calm down at all.
He licked his lips in panic, swallowed his saliva, and finally blurted out: "I, I came to play with Luo Yu."
Bai Luoyu's eyes widened: "???"
Gu Nianchen turned to look at Bai Luoyu and found that the latter also had a look of shock and a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in my heart. Although it is a bit early to think about those things at this age, what if it is just a budding thought?
They are of similar age and studied under Liang Ge Lao together.
Have to be on guard.
This was Gu Nianchen’s final conclusion.
So, it was decided to increase the strength of the third prince.
"Oh, have you had lunch? If not, let's go together and stay here in the afternoon. I should also pay attention to my third brother's studies." Gu Nianchen asked the eunuch to move the chairs and buy more bowls and chopsticks.
The third prince sat down in a daze and didn't hear anything at all. He only heard that he would stay here in the afternoon.
Oh my god, not only am I dining with the Crown Prince, but I'm also staying in the Crown Prince's Palace. I must be dreaming.
Gu Nianchen asked the eunuch to go to Concubine Yun and tell her that the third prince should stay here.
The third prince was still laughing foolishly at this time, completely unaware of what he would experience in the afternoon.
Gu Nianchen tested him and Bai Luoyu on policy debate. If they made a mistake, they would need to stand in horse stance with a stone brick on their hands for the duration of an incense stick.
Before long, the Third Prince had ten bricks in his hand, which were higher than his forehead. He was sweating profusely.
He didn't know why the incense lasted so long, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
The third prince was trying hard to hold on, and he couldn't help making strange grunting sounds, as if he had difficulty going to the toilet.
Bai Luoyu just thought that Gu Nianchen was testing them, and the Third Prince would naturally be punished if he lost, so he continued reading on the side.
But Gu Nianchen had a different idea in mind. The danger must be eliminated in the bud, and today's situation was just an appetizer.
[You little brat, how dare you come and play with Luo Yu? Who gave you the courage?]
Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu to sit aside, eating and drinking while supervising the Third Prince to ensure that he did not slack off.
After finally holding on until the incense burned out, the Third Prince placed the brick in his hand on the ground, sweat pouring down his face. "Crown Prince, how is it? Is my horse stance stable?"
Bai Luoyu looked at the Third Prince and didn't know what to say. He actually asked this at this time.
"Very good. I heard that you want to join the army?" Gu Nianchen asked.
"Yes, I want to go, but mother doesn't agree." The third prince curled his lips. Although he was naughty in small matters, he dared not disobey his mother in big matters.
"Life in the military camp is hard and dangerous. Are you acting on impulse, or are you really mentally prepared?" Gu Nianchen continued to ask.
The Third Prince struggled to stand up straight and replied, "I have seriously considered this, Crown Prince. I want to be a general in the future."
"Yeah, very good. That's it for today. You have good qualifications. I will consider it."
"Thank you, Prince." The third prince was overjoyed. He finally got what he wanted.
"No need to be so polite. It's getting late today. You should go back."
"Yes, Nian Ke, take your leave." Although his legs were weak from the punishment from the Crown Prince and he was ordered to leave before he had time to rest, the Third Prince still hummed a song all the way back.
Although Gu Nianchen intended to punish him, he actually liked his younger brother very much. He planned to help him both publicly and privately and let him go to the military camp for good training. Maybe he could really grow into a great general in the future.
Bai Luoyu didn’t know what Gu Nianchen was thinking, but he was happy for the Third Prince, and at the same time, a little envious.
Because of his special status, even if he tried harder, he would not be able to make any progress in his career. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling depressed.
Seeing this, Gu Nianchen teased him: "What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Are you unhappy that your friend left?"
Bai Luoyu was stunned. "No, that's not the case. He insisted on asking me to bring him to see Brother Chen. He came here on his own without my consent. I don't want to talk to anyone else except Brother Chen."
Bai Luoyu said it unintentionally, but Gu Nianchen listened with attention and felt a little proud.
