"What can I do?"
"What if you don't go? I'll have someone tell the gatekeeper to shut up, and everything will be fine."
"But, but she said she would check on me every day. What if she really goes?"
"Are you stupid..."
Leng Xi looked at him helplessly.
"She's a woman, would she have nothing better to do than go to the city gate every day? Besides, even if she did go, she could tell the gatekeeper to transfer you to another city gate. Would she be able to check every gate one by one?"
"But……"
"Don't worry, come on, take Prince Ming's donkey and go to Tianxiang Tower, so we can have a good drink..."
Leng Ming was still hesitating, but Leng Xi had already pulled him onto the carriage and headed straight for Tianxiang Tower.
After drinking a bowl of wine, Leng Ming completely forgot what Luo Xue said. He started to complain non-stop.
"Fifth brother, you have no idea what kind of life I've been leading. Every day I'm woken up by the sound of gongs before dawn. The food in the mansion has started to shrink, and we've been eating vegetarian food all day. I feel like I'm about to become a monk. Also, the expenses in the mansion have started to shrink. Look, my pockets are cleaner than my face. They even sold me my horse and let me ride a donkey... a donkey... I, the dignified Prince Ming, actually ride a donkey. If this gets out, I'll be laughed to death."
Seeing Leng Ming's sad face, Leng Xi poured him a full glass of wine and then persuaded him:
"You're such a blockhead! She can ask the emperor to arrange for you to guard the city gate. Won't you go and complain to your father-in-law? As far as I know, Liu Dechang was very angry when he heard that you were going to serve at the city gate. He must feel very embarrassed that his son-in-law was assigned to guard the city gate. You can ask him to arrange a better position for you. I believe Liu Luoxue would not dare to refute her father!"
Leng Ming rolled his eyes and nodded, not quite understanding.
"Fifth Brother, what you said makes sense. I'll go find him soon."
"Not now. If you go to him before you even start your job, he'll think you can't handle hardship. Wait until the people in the city start talking about you guarding the city gates. Then, he'll reassign you to a new position to save his own face."
"Will anyone in the city care about this kind of thing?"
Leng Xi smiled mysteriously, "With Fifth Brother here, I'll naturally make your wish come true."
As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Leng Ming's. They both drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
