Chapter 548: Jin Cheng meets the King of Zhennan

Ever since Jincheng knew that the King of Zhennan was losing in Yunnan, he sent officials to Yunnan to govern the nearby unruly people and county magistrates. After a few months, the effect was very obvious.

In the spring of his thirteenth year, Prince Zhennan came to Beijing with his princess consort.

The meal was ready. Jin Cheng talked to his parents in the Yu Garden while waiting for his two uncles and aunt to enter the palace.

Xu Wan said with a smile: "Little friend, you are meeting two uncles, why did you bring us two here?"

The little devil chuckled and said, "I did something stupid. I'm afraid my uncle and second uncle will join forces to beat me up."

Because of the misunderstanding that my eldest uncle had ill intentions, my second uncle was also locked up for more than a month. It would be unjustifiable if he didn't deserve a beating.

"Pfft...hahahaha...you also have this day?" Xu Wan burst out laughing, "Then our role is to mediate?"

Jin Cheng nodded heavily, and began blinking frantically to act pitiful: "Save me, my best mother... and father in the world!"

The little boy had the best eyesight. After hugging his mother's thigh, he hugged his father tightly.

Xu Wan did not agree or refused, but ridiculed: "I think you think too much, and the Guo Guogong hurts you so much, so you can't bear to beat you."

Jin Cheng said weakly, "Then there's my uncle. He seems to like fighting."

Xu Wan frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean we didn't win?"

Zong Zhao: “…” He couldn’t listen any more.

Jin Cheng could still argue: "But beating me is more than enough, right?"

Xu Wan was convinced: "You make sense."

Zong Zhao held his face with one hand and smiled secretly.

The little devil pouted and looked out: "Why hasn't he come yet... I'll go check..."

He walked out at a fast pace, but after a few steps he suddenly came back and asked, "Dad, if I want to eavesdrop on someone with great martial arts skills, how can I avoid being discovered? Isn't it enough to not make any noise? Is it okay to not breathe?"

Zong Zhao raised his eyebrows. He knew without even guessing that the brat was going to do something bad.

He replied: "You can feel it through your eyes."

"Ah?" Jin Cheng was shocked, "It's so scary..."

The little devil covered his chest and walked outside.

There were many rockery in the garden. Jincheng found a place that everyone had to pass through, picked a place with a hole, and hid inside.

Soon, footsteps were heard.

The eavesdropping kid quickly held his breath and dared not look outside. He wanted to eavesdrop on whether his uncles had any violent tendencies today to test his own personal safety.

On the path, Lu Zhu came over with Luo Jingfeng, her arms wrapped around him tightly, as if she wanted to hang on him.

Luo Jingfeng was a little suffocated: "Relax a little, where is the etiquette?"

"No, no one can see me. I just like being close to my husband!"

Lu Zhu has been getting more and more demanding recently, but Luo Jingfeng just said a few words to her casually and didn't get angry, which caused her to become more and more arrogant and even get close to her husband in the palace.

Luo Jingfeng took a step back and said, "Let go when you see someone."

"Hehe, I know!" Lu Zhu said happily, "Husband, you love me so much now! Even more than the male protagonist in the storybook!"

Luo Jingfeng's face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, it's so corny."

Lu Zhu chuckled: "But my husband is so good to me. I have decided that when I go back, I will have someone write a storybook to tell everyone how good my husband is, so that everyone in the world will envy me!"

Luo Jingfeng was confused. He looked at Lu Zhu speechlessly: "Is this the best?"

Lu Zhu nodded heavily: "Of course! But...husband, when Ji'er was two years old and I sent you to the battle, why did you keep telling me to get out and look annoyed with me?"

She thought about this for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she found an opportunity to ask about it.

Luo Jingfeng stopped and looked at her with a complicated expression: "After you received the imperial decree, didn't you care about me anymore?"

Lu Zhu's eyes widened: "It's unfair! How could I not love my husband? I love you every day to the point of going crazy!"

Luo Jingfeng sneered: "I have been in the concubine's room for more than ten days, and you didn't come to see me. Doesn't that mean you don't care?"

At that time, he was not sure whether Lu Zhu loved him or was plotting for the wealth and glory he could bring her, so he deliberately went to the concubine's room to see her reaction, but he waited for ten days and got nothing.

As a result, in the following ten years, he felt that Lu Zhu did not truly love him, and he would not allow Lu Zhu to enter his heart again.

Lu Zhu said aggrievedly: "On the first day my husband came back, I had already tried to rob someone. If I continue to compete with the concubine for his favor, others will think I am a jealous woman, and my husband will also think I am stingy."

Luo Jingfeng didn't expect this reason. He sneered and said, "Yes, you are generous and I am stingy."

The angry man shook off her hand and walked forward.

Lu Zhu got anxious when she saw him, and hurried over: "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, from now on I will go to the concubine's room to snatch you, okay? Husband, husband, wait for me..."

Behind the rockery, the little devil finally let go of his hand that was pinching his nose, and his whole face turned red.

He took deep breaths and muttered, "I don't think he said he was going to beat me up. Second uncle is still the best... hehe."

Not long after, footsteps were heard again.

The eavesdropping kid continued to pinch his nose and raised his clever ears high.

A scolding female voice echoed from afar: "I told you to tell the truth a long time ago, but you refused to say anything for the sake of face, and even caused the second brother to be misunderstood by the emperor and locked up. Is there anyone in the world who can do things like you?"

The King of Zhennan cried out in defense, "It's a place the size of two or three shit balls, poor and remote, how could I know Cheng'er wouldn't be willing to give it to me... Ahhhhh, don't pull my ears, this is in the palace, can't you pull them at home?"

The woman continued to scold, "You also know that this is the palace, right? Don't keep talking about Cheng'er. He is not only your nephew, but also the emperor! Speak with respect, don't talk nonsense there, and don't question the emperor!"

King Zhennan was annoyed: "I was wronged, but I can't ask? You are too overbearing!"

The female voice continued, "Ask your head, or I'll twist your head off."

King Zhennan was still howling, "Ahhh... I know, I know. I'll just follow my second brother's lead, okay? Let go quickly, or Cheng'er will see me, and my majestic and domineering image will be gone!"

The female voice became even angrier: "You still want to maintain your image? How big of a mess have you made?"

The King of Zhennan continued to argue: "A person lives with a face, how can he live without a face?"

The woman shook him off, completely angry: "No, let's go back to Yunnan!"

"I was wrong!!" King Zhennan shouted, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I listened to you, let's go quickly, otherwise my second brother and Cheng'er will be waiting anxiously, hehe?"

The female voice said: "Idiot."

The little devil pinched his nose and watched them walk away.

After he could no longer see her back, Jin Cheng exclaimed, "My aunt is really amazing. It seems like she is a real treasure. If I hold her tight, my uncle will not dare to hit me!"

Jincheng went back from the other side of the rockery, and before he reached the destination, he heard his second uncle arguing with his father.

Luo Jingfeng asked with a dark face: "This is our Luo family's family dinner, why are you here?"

Zong Zhao said calmly: "What do you think?"

The two generals started to fight with their eyes again.

The little devil hurried over to persuade them: "Ah, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, please sit down, please sit down, the food is ready, we are just waiting for you to serve it."

Everyone bowed and took their seats.

King Zhennan watched Lu Zhu sitting next to Luo Jingfeng, his hands never stopping moving, either placing dishes and chopsticks on his shoulders or pulling at his clothes. What was even more amazing was that his second brother actually handed her a handkerchief.

The King of Zhennan suddenly remembered what his second brother had said: "Women are just tools for warming the bed. Do you care how many heaters you have?"

Luo Jingyun teased, "Second brother, the heat of your heater is quite strong. Do you need more?"

No one understood what it meant and looked confused.

Only Luo Jingfeng seemed to be frozen in time, and said angrily, "Mind your own business, big brother!"

Prince Zhennan was almost dying of laughter. He lay down beside the princess and whispered in her ear, selling out his second brother completely.

Luo Jingfeng was so angry that he almost wanted to flip the table.

Lu Zhu didn't understand why, but still tried her best to hold Luo Jingfeng back to prevent him from getting really impulsive.

Jin Cheng stared at his uncle and aunt whom he had never met before. From his guess when he eavesdropped just now, he thought his uncle would have a simple and stupid look and his aunt would have a fierce look.

But the reality is a bit opposite. All the Zhennan kings are tall and slender like Luo Jingfeng; the aunt is a bit short, petite and delicate, with the appearance of a standard southern beauty.

The Princess of Zhennan was named Shi Yue. She was a daughter of a doctor in a local clinic in Yunnan. She had no father or mother and no power or influence. Although she married into the Zhennan Palace at a high position, it was said that her eldest uncle had been pursuing her for several years. Her eldest uncle was seven years older than her and only married the princess at the age of 25.

Shi Yue was a cold person and didn't talk much usually, but as soon as she sat down, she started to talk: "Your Majesty, the prince is straightforward and impulsive, so he made those foolish reports to you one after another. Now that he has admitted his mistakes, I hope Your Majesty can put aside the past and forgive his mistakes."

After saying this, she kicked King Zhennan under the table, signaling him to open his mouth and speak.

Prince Zhennan said quickly, "Oh, yes, I felt guilty knowing that my younger brother was misunderstood by the Emperor because of me. I'm sorry, Cheng'er, it was my uncle who was inconsiderate and scared you."

Seeing that his uncle had no intention of beating him up, the little devil quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's all in the past. We've dealt with the county magistrates, and we've also reinforced the Yunnan border with soldiers to protect you. We guarantee that no one will come to steal your mushrooms again."

King Zhennan was delighted when he heard this: "Oh, my Cheng'er is still considerate. You don't know, that gang is really too much. I tolerated them for several years without doing anything, but they became more aggressive and wanted to take my new mushroom. That kind of mushroom was discovered by your aunt. It can resist hunger and cure diseases. As long as it is planted on a large scale, not only Yunnan will be strong, but our Great Chu will also be strong!"

"Ah? Are mushrooms really that powerful?" Jin Cheng was tempted.

"Really!" King Zhennan came over with a stool, took his nephew's hand and said to him, "Let me tell you, as long as we plant this mushroom all over the country, there will be no shortage of food and nutrition, no diseases..."

My uncle was bragging so seriously that my aunt couldn't bear to watch.

Jin Cheng giggled when he heard this.

Xu Wan and Zong Zhao looked at each other and indicated with their eyes: It seems that there is really no need to break up the fight.

Zong Zhao threw up his hands, expressing his helplessness.

When the family dinner was over, the King of Zhennan still acted like a good brother and said to his nephew, "Cheng'er, you are indeed a wise ruler sent by heaven. You understand your uncle's thoughts. Don't worry, when we return to Yunnan, I will send you some of each kind of mushroom we have. You can let Sinong Temple study it. If they don't understand, I will personally guide them. I guarantee that you can grow these mushrooms beautifully!"

My aunt was speechless.

Jin Cheng nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come next time, uncle!"

Zhennan Wang waved to him: "Don't say goodbye, Cheng'er, we will meet again!"

Cheng Er also smiled and said, "Yes, see you next time."
