Chapter 24 I was shocked. The number one scholar was actually...
Along the way, the officials passing by seemed to have some kind of collective disease. From time to time, a few of them would stop in a daze, and then look in the direction of Jiang Yingcheng with shock.
Jiang Yingcheng looked puzzled, but Eunuch Changshun insisted that this was how they usually were.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yingcheng shook his head. His eagerness to meet his beautiful father overwhelmed his curiosity, so he ignored these strange uncles and continued walking forward.
But even so, the nagging in my heart never stopped for a moment.
[Ahahahahahahaha, is this so funny? Was this uncle really chased five miles by a dog yesterday?]
Chang Shun glanced at the person Jiang Yingcheng was secretly glancing at. It was Rong Wenbin, a Zhongfeng doctor who had just taken office not long ago. The body shape characteristics of a civil official who had not exercised for many years were very obvious, with a slightly bulging abdomen and loose skin and flesh.
He must have been very tired after the five rounds of exercise yesterday, as there were dark circles under his eyes.
[Oh? This uncle's salary was swindled away by the girls in the brothel, and he goes to his colleagues' houses every day to eat and drink for free, and even claims to be there to discuss literature? ]
Changshun was cheered up. This "melon" was much more interesting than what Lord Rong had thought!
He quickly followed the little princess's gaze and looked over.
It was Xu Junming, a doctor at the imperial court who had just turned 30.
It is said that Xu Junming's wife is a tigress with a loud voice. She abandoned him because he was useless and has returned to her parents' home for nearly half a month.
【Wow! This uncle...】
"Eunuch Changshun." Suddenly someone called the two of them from behind.
After the two turned around, he stared at Jiang Yingcheng with a smile and said, "Is this your Majesty's eleventh princess?"
Changshun bowed and responded.
Jiang Yingcheng also smiled sweetly.
[Ah! It's the uncle who just passed by! ]
The smile on Yuan Liangping's lips gradually deepened. It seemed that his guess was correct. This strange voice was indeed made by the little princess.
Judging from the reactions of his colleagues, there must be many other people who could hear his voice, but they were not as thick-skinned as he was. No one dared to get close like he did and listen closely to the anecdotes of these big shots' homes.
How stupid.
Isn't this much more interesting than attending court?!
Yuan Liangping coughed lightly and said, "Eunuch, are you going to take the princess to Wuyang Palace to see His Majesty?"
Eunuch Changshun did not hide it: "To reply to your Excellency, I am going to take the little prince to Wuyang Palace in a hurry."
His Majesty had already predicted that someone would come forward before he sent him to pick up the little prince, and this lord would not be the only one.
Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, Yuan Liangping on the other side smiled cheerfully: "That's perfect, I just remembered that there are some things I haven't reported to Your Majesty yet, why don't we go together?"
Eunuch Changshun agreed with a smile.
Yuan Liangping naturally took Jiang Yingcheng's other hand, and from a distance the three of them looked like three generations of a grandfather and grandson with a harmonious relationship, leisurely strolling in the garden.
Eunuch Changshun felt a little uncomfortable, but that little discomfort soon disappeared.
Because he found that Lord Yuan was really good at chatting.
Yuan Liangping not only established a good relationship with the young prince in a very short time, but the two of them even almost swore a blood oath and became brothers.
Most importantly, he is extremely good at guiding the conversation.
Yuan Liangping glanced at the middle-aged man who had just passed by him, his eyes full of admiration: "This Lord Li is said to be a rare and great official!"
Jiang Yingcheng followed his gaze and curled his lips in disgust: "Oh oh."
[No, the money he secretly looted from the people is buried underground in the courtyard outside the city! I have to find an opportunity to take my father there and dig it all out!]
Yuan Liangping pointed at Lord Jiang who had just come out of the palace and said, "Lord Jiang is an honest official. He is upright and incorruptible. It is said that people come to him every day to send him letters of thanks. He has a very high reputation among the people!"
Jiang Yingcheng withdrew his gaze and forced a curl of his lips.
[He paid people to spread these news! The money he spent was from the tributes his subordinates sent to his house on weekdays!]
"This Lord Ji..."
【Oh.】
"Master Bai..."
【snort.】
This situation continued all the way, and Eunuch Changshun's initial ecstasy gradually turned into sorrow.
He would report the news revealed in the young prince's heart to Emperor Mingze later, but the conversations between the two were getting more and more frequent, and he was about to be unable to remember any more information!
Just before Eunuch Changshun was on the verge of collapse, they finally arrived outside Wuyang Palace.
Emperor Mingze was discussing important matters with important officials in the palace. When the guard at the gate saw Eunuch Changshun and the little princess approaching, he opened the door and let the two in.
Yuan Liangping was left outside the door.
Seeing the wooden door in front of him was closed again, Yuan Liangping was not annoyed. He put his hands into his sleeves and waited leisurely there.
Emperor Mingze will definitely summon him.
He felt inexplicably determined.
In the Wuyang Palace, the braziers everywhere made the room warm, and Jiang Yingcheng felt like he was finally alive again.
Although her mother wrapped her up tightly, the cold and snowy weather outside was still far from the warmth indoors.
Jiang Yingcheng had just taken off her outer robe with the help of the palace maids, and then she spread her short legs and grabbed Eunuch Changshun to run inside.
Before turning the last corner, Eunuch Changshun suddenly stopped and pulled Jiang Yingcheng with him to stand at the corner of the wall.
Jiang Yingcheng thought that they were discussing serious matters inside, so she didn't pay any attention to it and just stood obediently beside Eunuch Changshun.
The sound of the argument inside could be heard clearly.
"Last year's number one scholar Weng Zizhen is very talented and quick-witted. I think he can be the perfect tutor for the eleventh princess."
"I have heard that Mr. Chang Honghua will be returning to Beijing soon. He has many students and rich teaching experience, so he is the most suitable candidate for the tutor."
"Mr. Zou Xinrong is the real one..."
Jiang Yingcheng took a deep breath of cool air.
Why are you suddenly talking about finding a tutor for her?!
She hasn't had enough fun yet!
In a state of panic, 007 suddenly said: [There seems to be something wrong with Weng Zizhen.]
[What's the problem?] Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, [Is he the only one with a problem? Are the other two okay?]
Jiang Yingcheng pouted her lips, as if she would cry on the spot if 007 couldn't give her a satisfactory answer.
007 helpless: [The real Weng Zizhen was killed by robbers on his way to Beijing for the imperial examination. The current one is the second prince of Northern Frontier who took his place.]
Jiang Yingcheng was happy again: [So, if I tell my father that Wengzi is really the second prince of Northern Frontier, he won't be anxious to find a tutor for me? ]
007 hesitated for a long time: [How are you going to tell your father this news? ]
Jiang Yingcheng was shocked again: [Yes! How should I tell my father this news? ! ]
Eunuch Changshun secretly looked at the young man's shocked and aggrieved expression, and his whole face was filled with indescribable emotions.
Also consider what to do with these.
Your father now knows.
