After hearing Qin Jingtai finish speaking, Zou Heng glanced at Qin Jingmu and saw that Qin Jingmu's face had darkened again.
Zou Heng was secretly pleased.
"In that case, Your Highnesses may eat the food in this food box."
Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai stood up at the same time and placed their hands on the food box.
Just as he was about to open it, Zou Heng closed the lid of the food box.
"Your Highnesses, please wait a moment."
"Didn't Commander Zou agree?"
"I agreed, but..."
Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai stared intently at him, so they stopped keeping him in suspense.
"However, Your Highnesses, after you finish eating, please clean up the outhouse in my courtyard."
"In that case, Commander Zou, is it alright if I don't eat it?"
"No, Second Prince, even if you don't eat, you still have to clean the latrine."
Qin Jingmu gave up on bargaining with Zou Heng and remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Zou Heng's words.
"Master, can't you..."
"cannot"
Before Qin Jingtai could finish speaking, Zou Heng directly refused.
After Zou Heng refused, he released his grip on the food box and left the yard.
"Brother, do you think we should eat or not?"
"Eat. How can we not eat? We'll have to clean the outhouse anyway, so let's eat our fill before we go clean it."
"Yes, eat your fill before you clean."
Qin Jingtai opened the lid of the food box.
"Brother, you know what, the dishes prepared by the chef are actually quite good."
"Yes, that's possible."
"Brother, you have braised pork, spare ribs, sausage, corn, meatballs, pastries, and two plates of vegetables."
"Yes, Jingtai, you should eat too."
"Exactly! You need to be well-fed to have the energy to work."
Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai ate rice and vegetables, occasionally taking a sip of tea.
After the two had eaten and rested for a while, Dali arrived.
"Have Your Highnesses finished eating?"
"I'm done eating. Who are you? What do you want?"
"Your Highness, I am a subordinate of Commander Zou. I was sent by Commander Zou to see you two princes."
Qin Jingmu picked up where Dali left off, "Commander Zou asked you to deliver a message?"
"Yes, Your Highness; Commander Zou said that once the two princes have eaten and drunk their fill, they should... cough cough... clean the latrines."
Commander Zou instructed the two princes to begin cleaning the latrines immediately.
After Dali finished speaking, he quickly left Zou Heng's courtyard.
After watching Dali leave, the two men stood up from their stools and slowly walked towards the outhouse.
The two went to the outhouse, and after scrubbing for a while, the stench and the sight of the excrement made them unable to hold back any longer.
"vomit--"
"vomit--"
The two of them vomited together, bringing up all the food, tea, and pastries they had just eaten.
Zou Heng sat on a tree opposite the outhouse, watching Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai. He pinched his nose while scrubbing the toilet, and then couldn't help but gag.
"Hahaha, let's see if you two can still make fun of me, hahaha, you're killing me with laughter!"
"Did you discover that taking them as apprentices allows you to tease them back?"
Zou Heng didn't even need to look to know who was next to him.
"Why aren't you protecting our master in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? What are you doing here?"
"I've already assigned people to protect the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I heard you took these two as your disciples, so I came to check on them."
"They're really funny."
Yu Ying sat on a tree branch next to Zou Heng, watching Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai clean the outhouse.
After a while, he thought of something.
"Zou Heng, I think you should bring Zhang Shuhao over and have him draw the current situation."
"Why? Do you think it's pretty?"
Zou Heng looked at Yu Ying with a complicated expression, while simultaneously pointing towards the outhouse.
This time, however, Yu Ying looked at Zou Heng with disbelief, and also pointed in the direction of the outhouse.
"What did you say, Zou Heng?"
"You think I like this?"
"Isn't that right? Then why did you ask me to bring Zhang Shuhao here to draw this scene?"
"Isn't it just because you like it?"
Yu Ying sighed and rubbed her head. "Zou Heng, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense. I don't like this kind of situation."
"Then why did you ask Zhang Shubo to come and draw it? If it wasn't because you liked it, then what was it?"
"Whether you draw it or not is up to you. I'm leaving; I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore."
Yu Ying spoke to Zou Heng in a speechless tone, and then used her light-footed skill to leave Zou Heng's courtyard.
After Yu Ying left, Zou Heng sat on the tree for a long time, hesitating whether or not to bring Zhang Shuhao over.
Finally, Zou Heng used his light-footed skills to lift Zhang Shuhao up into a tree and put him there.
"Shubo, draw a picture of the two princes and what they are doing."
Zhang Shuhao, who had just settled down in the tree, looked in the direction Zou Heng was pointing.
They saw Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai cleaning the outhouse.
Then, with a shocked expression, Zhang Shuhao turned to look at Zou Heng, his words filled with disbelief.
"Commander Zou likes this kind of... scenery?"
Upon hearing Zhang Shuhao say that he liked such beautiful scenery, he quickly denied it.
"Shubo, don't misunderstand, I don't like it."
But seeing Zhang Shuhao's disbelieving look, Zou Heng continued to explain.
"Shubo, to tell you the truth, it's actually Yuying who likes him, but he's too embarrassed to admit it."
"It's true, Yu Ying asked me to bring you here to paint this."
Zhang Shuhao gave Zou Heng a look that said, "I understand, I understand everything."
Seeing Zhang Shuhao's gaze, Zou Heng didn't know how to explain, so he could only use his light-footed skills to leave.
Seeing Zou Heng flee in disarray, Zhang Shuhao became even more convinced of his suspicions.
