Chapter 787 Little Transparent King Yi
Xiao Zhiyi put down his brush and painted very carefully, fearing that the paint on the brush would drip down and make the painting imperfect.
He raised his head and met Zhao Ming's frightened expression. He pursed his lips and smiled.
"Uncle, you forgot, I just like to draw beautiful sisters, I don't have any other thoughts, don't worry."
Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s true, Xiao Zhiyi likes to paint beauties.
He had also painted Song Yunyao before, and last year he painted Princess Nanyi.
It doesn't seem so strange to draw Princess Jun now, right?
"Although you have no other intentions, it would be troublesome if such a painting was seen by others."
"I will hide." Xiao Zhiyi said.
Zhao Ming nodded, "I just met Princess Jun, she is still so arrogant, she didn't even get scared when the emperor was brought out."
"What mission did uncle take? How did he meet her?" Xiao Zhiyi walked over and made tea for him personally.
Zhao Ming was used to running to Xiao Zhiyi to chat with him whenever he encountered something and felt unsure about it.
He will be much calmer after the conversation.
"Princess Jun returned to the Fu family last night and stayed there. Lord Geng asked me to bring a team to stop her, saying that she disobeyed the order."
Xiao Zhiyi looked at him in surprise, somewhat puzzled.
"Father didn't say she couldn't leave Prince Juan's mansion."
Zhao Ming groaned, "Do you think so too?"
"It's not that I think so, but there was originally this loophole in my father's previous decree. Princess Jun can reveal this loophole with just a few words."
"Ah, but we didn't think so at first. We didn't think about it so carefully. Everyone thought that the emperor's decree meant that no one in Prince Jun's mansion was allowed to go out. Lord Geng thought so too, so he thought that at least he could send Princess Jun back to Prince Jun's mansion and take the opportunity to warn Prince Jun and lose face."
Lord Geng didn't dare to think about doing anything to Prince Jun's Mansion. In fact, he just wanted to tug at Prince Jun's face and cause trouble for them.
If Princess Jun was forced back to Prince Jun's Mansion by them, they would lose some face.
Behind this kind of thing, there are only some casual remarks made by people who dislike Prince Jun.
Xiao Zhiyi said, "It seems that your Lord Geng married the aunt of Concubine Le, right?"
"Exactly."
"So, this is the order of Concubine Le." Xiao Zhiyi said.
"Probably. I don't know why Concubine Le has always wanted to target Princess Jun? Do you know?" Zhao Ming was a little gossipy.
"Uncle, it's no good for you to know about this. Did you come here today to ask what to say to Master Geng if something is not done well?"
Xiao Zhiyi asked the right question.
This is why Zhao Ming came here.
"Yes, Princess Jun is so talkative. I just said that she disobeyed the order, and she started to talk, leaving me speechless. I have to go back and report to Lord Geng, but I don't know what to say about Princess Jun."
To put it in a more exaggerated and intense way, one could say that Princess Jun was very arrogant and didn't take the emperor's order seriously, and she even had the guards stare at them covetously as if they were going to fight with them. Or, did Princess Jun mean that the emperor didn't say that they couldn't go out?
The tone of this description and the way of speaking are different, and the results are likely to be different.
At least, when it gets out to others, everyone will know which side he stands on.
If he told the serious matter to Prince Jun, he would just dislike Princess Jun.
Prince Jun is narrow-minded and protective of his own people. Who knows whether he will bear a grudge against him in the future and deal with him as soon as he gets the chance.
But if he said it too lightly, if Concubine Le knew about it, it would be very likely that he would be wrong again.
It was such a small matter, but Zhao Ming felt caught in a dilemma.
He felt that he should listen to what Xiao Zhiyi had to say.
Xiao Zhiyi said, "Just tell Lord Geng the truth when you go back. Don't exaggerate or have any personal emotions or opinions. Just repeat Princess Jun's words in a straightforward manner."
"Is that so? Okay, I get it." Zhao Ming looked at him and couldn't help asking, "Yier, your sixteenth birthday is coming up in a few days. Are you really not planning to celebrate this time?"
On so many birthdays in the past, Xiao Zhiyi would just ask the servants to cook him a bowl of longevity noodles. He didn't even ask any of them to accompany him. He would just eat the noodles and celebrate the birthday quietly.
But now I am sixteen after all, and I am an adult.
"I found out about a person. He's from Da He, a very famous chef. His last name is Du. He can make a kind of cold silk noodles called Qian Shan Wan Shui. I want to eat that." Xiao Zhiyi said.
"Suspected Du? Famous Chef Du?"
"Uncle has heard of it too?"
"Didn't someone from your aunt's side tell you this when Da He came to visit? You were only a few years old at that time, and you've remembered it ever since you heard it?"
"My mother was still alive at that time. She said that the cold noodles were very smooth. A bowl of noodles was just one strand of noodles. You had to eat it all in one bite without biting it off. Moreover, the noodles were made from broth made from twelve kinds of mushrooms. The taste was indescribable and extremely fragrant."
Zhao Ming laughed.
"I remember now. At that time, you drooled when you heard me. Your mother teased you and said that when you become a king and a prince, and you have the ability, you should invite the famous chef Du to come over and make you a bowl of cold silk noodles."
"Well, this is something that I have been concerned about, and I have to complete it. Uncle, please keep an eye out for me. I heard that Chef Du is on his way to the capital."
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment.
"He came to Zhaoguo?"
"right."
"How do you know that?"
"Don't worry about this uncle. He should be here in the next few days. When he arrives, please remember to invite him here for me."
This nephew had hardly ever asked him to do anything, but of course he had to get this one thing done.
"Okay, don't worry, as long as I see Chef Du, I will definitely invite him over."
After Zhao Ming left here, he went to find Lord Geng and described the matter in a straightforward manner. Lord Geng frowned and was a little angry.
"Did you really listen to her when she said that? You should have controlled her first. Otherwise, she was going back to Prince Jun's Mansion anyway, so you could have just sent her back as an escort, and made it look like everyone in the capital saw her being driven back in disgrace as soon as she left the mansion, wouldn't that be enough?"
Zhao Ming was stunned.
Can it still be like this?
"But Princess Jun will definitely be angry——"
"Are you stupid? If she gets angry and starts a fight, then she's wrong. Can't we go to the palace and file a complaint?"
There are people protecting you in the palace, what are you afraid of?
