"You're not up to the task, this prince is. Shall we give it a try?"
Hehe, trying to tease me?
Bai Ming deliberately leaned closer to the Second Prince, and even flirted with him playfully.
How do you want to try it?
Like this? Or like this?
The second prince had only intended to tease Bai Ming, but Bai Ming actually hit him. His ears burned, and he quickly waved his hands.
"Okay, okay, stop fooling around."
Bai Ming raised an eyebrow and playfully pinched the Second Prince's cheek. Could a modern person like him be teased by an ancient person?
"You're not playing anymore? Okay, let's get down to business."
The second prince composed himself and looked at Bai Ming seriously.
"This time they have truly witnessed my debauchery and incompetence, and know that I am a useless person, so they will definitely lower their guard."
Brother Bai, I have a few letters here that I'd like you to take out for me later. After being silent for so many years, it's time to get back to work.
I will definitely avenge my mother and my brother.
Brother Bai, do you really think the throne is that important?
For the throne, they harmed my mother, my elder brother, my maternal grandfather...
Bai Ming sighed softly. "Being second only to one person and above ten thousand others, let alone the ancients who would be tempted, even he, a modern person, might not be able to resist the temptation."
.................
The next day, Zhou Chengxing actually submitted a memorial requesting leave. The emperor pretended to decline for a while, but then granted his request.
"Our Prince Zhenbei is famous in our Longyuan Kingdom for his love for his wife and daughters. It's normal for Minister Zhou to stay home and keep the Princess and the Princess company for a few days now that they've returned."
How about this?
Why doesn't Zhou Aiqing simply stay home and rest for a while, and come back when he's rested enough?
Zhou Chengxing sneered inwardly...................
Oh!
Is this a way of getting rid of him?
However, he never took these assignments in the capital seriously. He always considered himself a military general, and his battlefield should be on the frontier protecting the country.
Instead of scheming and fighting with a bunch of civil officials in the capital.
After hearing the emperor's words, the officials in the court had mixed feelings.
In their view, the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion was about to fall out of favor.
Those who were friendly with the Prince's Mansion were very worried, while those who were opposed to the Prince's Mansion, such as Liu Xuenian, were in high spirits.
Zhou Chengxing didn't care about any of that; he was secretly pleased and even wanted to leave immediately.
For the rest of the time, Zhou Chengxing was absent-minded. When he finally managed to get through the court session, he hurriedly strode out.
A figure trotted behind him all the way to the palace gate, where Zhou Chengxing was about to mount his horse when Grand Tutor Su caught up, panting.
"Prince Zhenbei, wait a moment..."
Zhou Chengxing quickly stopped mounting his horse, turned around and looked at the man standing there panting heavily, then hurried over to him.
"Grand Tutor Su, why are you running so fast? Has something happened?"
Grand Tutor Su finally caught his breath after a long while.
"Oh dear, I'm exhausted."
"The Prince of Zhenbei is still young; this old man almost couldn't keep up with you."
Because I was in a hurry to pick someone up at the city gate, Zhou Chengxing did run a little too fast. He scratched his head sheepishly.
"This was my oversight; I will definitely not run so fast next time."
Grand Tutor Su smiled kindly.
"I won't dare to chase you next time. My old bones can't take this kind of torment."
What are Your Highness's thoughts on the Emperor's resignation today?
Zhou Chengxing looked around.
"Grand Tutor, to be honest, I don't really have any ideas, but many people might be happy."
