Chapter 215: Big Son
Jin Zeyu had never received any instruction from the old emperor since he was a child, and his mother was a confused person.
Many of the principles he currently understands are learned through his own exploration and learning from the servants around him.
Compared with other legitimate princes who were raised by their mothers and nannies, Jin Zeyu's intelligence was vulgar, dark, and full of pettiness.
It cannot be said that it is not useful, but it is only suitable for slaves who try to climb up by flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak.
If he is allowed to continue like this, it will be a disaster for this country.
Jiang Xinyu also discovered that this child had some little thoughts.
But out of pity for his difficult life since childhood, he did not blame him. He only told Jin Zekang and Taifu and asked them to guide him consciously.
Just as the ice is three feet thick, it doesn’t freeze overnight. So it won’t be easy to change some bad habits in one day.
Another thing is that changes in the living environment have a very important impact on people's character, and it is too early to define it now.
A child who has a pile of candies will not be stingy in sharing. If he only has one candy, why should you ask him to be generous?
It's not really wrong that Jin Zeyu was being cunning just to make his life better.
Ye Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that this child was not a new one from his adoptive father.
But since the emperor was here, it was not a good idea to chat much, so he just sat there and waited for Xiao Yuan.
Jiang Xinyu didn't care about that. She asked about the situation in the mansion, his injuries, and how he and He Zhang were doing recently.
Ye Xiao's ears turned red and he stammered, "It's still the same."
But Jiang Xinyu clearly felt that this boy was different from before, at least he showed shyness when talking about the congratulatory seal.
Ye Xiao and He Zhang have been getting along really well lately, which can be considered an alternative way of overcoming physical aversion.
On the night of the forced abdication, He Zhang blocked a knife for Ye Xiao again, although he only injured his arm, it was still inconvenient.
When Ye Xiao was unable to move, he was very afraid of He Zhang touching him. This made him feel as if he was being controlled by others and unable to escape.
In particular, he couldn't stand seeing the look in He Zhang's eyes that showed he liked him. If the other person touched him with that kind of look, he would immediately get angry.
But when He Zhang was lying on the bed and couldn't move easily, Ye Xiao had a feeling that he could control him.
It was quite natural to help him undress, wipe his body and apply medicine, and I didn't feel uncomfortable when the reaction came.
He Zhang was such a smart man that he immediately figured out the key point. He acted weak and powerless, and tried not to blink when Ye Xiao touched him.
Ye Xiao really fell for it. At first, she just applied some medicine on him, and then she picked him up and helped him put on clothes. The physical contact between the two of them became more and more frequent.
Occasionally, when He Zhang looked at him affectionately, he no longer felt any extreme physical discomfort, and he was slowly becoming desensitized.
Humans are not plants or trees.
He Zhang's affection had been accumulating more and more in Ye Xiao's heart, and he had gotten used to He Zhang's presence in the past few days.
During the fight that night, Ye Xiao was really scared when he saw He Zhang blocking the knife for him and his body was covered in blood. He felt a fear that he was going to lose this person completely.
Fortunately, He Zhang's injuries were not serious. When Ye Xiao saw the doctor treating him, only one sentence popped into his mind.
Fortunately he is okay, fortunately it's not too late.
In fact, even if He Zhang didn't pretend to be weak, Ye Xiao had already compromised in his heart.
One is trying to guide the other is reaching out to test, and the effect of running in both directions is equally good.
Jiang Xinyu did not tease Ye Xiao when there was a child around. She only told him to use whatever he wanted in the house and to take good care of He Zhang.
Now that Xiao Yuan is a first-rank marquis of Zhenguo, the previous governor's mansion is no longer sufficient.
If the specifications of the Marquis' Mansion were followed, the former Governor's Mansion would have to be expanded by more than half.
If you don't want to expand, then you can move to a ready-made house of sufficient specifications, such as the former residence of the Left Prime Minister or the residence of the Second Prince.
But no matter where it is moved to, it will need to be modified, and now the couple doesn’t have time, so they put it aside for now.
Now that Ye Xiao happened to be here, he also wanted to ask him and He Zhang for their opinions.
Ye Xiao didn't expect Jiang Xinyu to ask him this, and he uttered an "ah" in a daze.
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes in disgust, "What? You are my only son. Who else should I ask if not you?"
I don't have any requirements for where I live, and Xiao Yuan is not available either. It just so happens that both you and He Zhang are injured and not working.
I'm free anyway, so it's nice to study the house when I have nothing to do.
You are the prince of our Marquisate, and you will be yours sooner or later."
Jin Zeyu, who was hiding aside to eat snacks and eavesdrop, couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao a few times.
Prince, it seems this is Governor Xiao's successor. He must establish a good relationship with him later.
After hearing Jiang Xinyu's words, Ye Xiao's smile was harder to suppress than AK, but he still whispered arrogantly,
"That... my stepfather will no longer accept any other stepsons.
Don’t you think the one you raised from childhood is closer to you?”
Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hands, "No, children are the most troublesome thing and I don't want to raise one.
Don't worry, as long as your godfather doesn't marry another wife, you will be the only child in our family."
Jin Zeyu immediately dropped his snack and hugged Jiang Xinyu's arm.
"Sister Yu, I don't need you to raise me, I will kiss you!"
Jiang Xinyu pinched his nose amusedly, "You claim to have a problem, you should tell me."
"I'm not in trouble, Sister Yu will support me!"
"No trouble, no raising. I am still a baby myself.
Sister Yu has a lesson for you. If you really want to find someone to raise you, go find your fourth brother.
Your fourth sister-in-law can't give birth, so as long as you behave yourself, your fourth brother will raise you as his son."
"I have a fourth sister-in-law now. Didn't they say that my fourth brother is unlucky in marriage and no one wants to be my fourth sister-in-law?"
"Find one that will stand up to engraving."
"Why is this fourth sister-in-law able to resist this moment? He is so strong."
"I don't know, but he's tough!"
Jin Zekang heard these two sentences when he walked in. He yelled and rushed over to cover Jiang Xinyu's mouth.
This damn girl is really crazy. How dare she say anything nonsense? It's so hard for the Jin family to have a good-looking child. We can't let her be spoiled.
Jiang Xinyu saw him coming in and kicked a chair over.
Jin Zekang was sitting on a chair and almost fell over, but Xiao Yuan stepped forward and held him up.
Seeing Xiao Yuan's disapproving look, Jiang Xinyu smiled awkwardly.
"You three can chat while I take the Emperor out to play.
Oh, by the way, have you written the memorial to Ye Xiao requesting the title of Crown Prince? This guy is free so I'll let him approve it right away."
Jin Zekang gritted his teeth in anger, "We are sworn brothers after all, can't you be more respectful to your brother?"
I also want to make you a princess."
"Don't be so hypocritical. If you really want to do something for me, do more work for my Xiao Yuan.
I have been a vegetarian for half a month, and even the donkeys in the production team dare not call me like this."
"Hurry up, don't hang around in front of me or I'll have a heart attack.
"Tsk, you're talking like I really want to see you."
Jiang Xinyu was about to leave when she turned back and shouted,
"I almost forgot that Jin Zekang and I became sworn brothers a few days ago. Twelve, remember to ask your uncle for a gift for the meeting."
Jin Zekang covered his face in silence, "One misstep can lead to eternal regret. I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey the other day."
Even though he said this, Jin Zekang still took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Ye Twelve.
"Here, nephew. When your wife recovers from her injury, let him go to help your uncle.
After all, he is a graduate of the Imperial Academy and has worked in the Dongchang. He should help me clean up the Dali Temple first."
Ye Xiao held the jade pendant with a bewildered look on his face. His stepmother was quite capable.
He has become a grafted version of a royal relative.
