A low, hoarse duck voice sounded beside me.
"Do you want to occupy this well?" Chen Si looked at Yu Tanqi unhappily.
Yu Tanqi only then saw him and was shocked by his appearance: "What happened to you? You look seriously injured."
The boy's face was bruised and swollen, and he looked nothing like his previous rebellious and handsome appearance.
Chen Si lowered his eyes unnaturally and said in a muffled voice, "Isn't it normal for men to get injured in a fight? Do you think everyone is like him, eating and drinking well every day, never hurting any bones, and living a life of luxury as a heir of a marquisate?"
His tone was very sarcastic, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Shi.
Yu Tanqi had seen Danqing and Chen Si fighting before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now seeing Chen Si's appearance, he knew that this rebellious boy was a powder keg that could explode at any time. He didn't say anything and gave his seat to him.
Apart from Jiang Shi, she didn't want to care about or greet other men. After all, they were insignificant people. What's more, Chen Si's words were not nice, in every sense of the word.
She returned to Jiang Shi, who was pouring something into a jar.
"Lip balm cannot be made today. The contents of this jar need to be soaked overnight, boiled for a day tomorrow, filtered out and poured into the jar, then the jar mouth and pit are sealed, and then buried in the pit using the Jiajianhexiang method. Heat it with chaff for four days, anneal it for two days, and finally use comfrey to make the mouth balm." Jiang Shi explained the steps carefully.
Yu Tanqi counted on his fingers and said, "Not counting today, it will take another seven days to make the oral grease. But we can only stay here for seven days. Today is already the fourth day."
Jiang Shi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I will write to the teacher and ask him for a few more days off."
"Will he agree?"
"I have completed my studies very well, the teacher will probably agree."
As expected, no matter what time, teachers always like students with good grades and often favor them.
A top student is a top student.
Yu Tanqi was a little envious. When she was in school, she didn't dare to ask for leave like this. Not only did the teacher not allow it, but she was also afraid of falling behind in her studies.
In the 21st century, she is like a poor student in this world, and studying is the only fair and good way out.
That night, Jiang Shi's letter of request for leave was delivered to the teacher of the Imperial College. The reason for the request was that he was sick and needed to rest for another five days.
Soon, the guards brought the reply from the teacher of the Imperial College to Jiang Shi, and the teacher agreed.
Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Jiang was frail and sickly. Although he didn't seem to be sick recently, no one would doubt him if he said he was sick.
When Chen Si learned that Jiang Shi had asked the teacher at the Imperial College for a few more days of leave in order to make oral grease, he got excited and moved a little too much. The injured parts of his body began to hurt, and he jumped up with his teeth bared in pain.
But he didn't care about the pain. Instead, he said to Chen Mo and Liu, who both had complicated expressions, with a look of "as expected": "Dad, Mom, look at this. He is so idle and unworthy of your loyalty!"
Liu didn't say anything.
She had liked Yu Tanqi very much before, and thought that the prince's fiancée was good-looking and had good character, and was worthy of the prince. But if she not only failed to help the prince make progress, but instead caused him to degenerate and not do his job properly, Liu couldn't help but feel unhappy and resentful.
Chen Mo frowned. "The prince's behavior is indeed absurd. Has he forgotten everything he and his parents have endured?"
It would be fine if he personally made lip balm for the woman, but now he actually asked for leave from the Imperial College for this ridiculous thing. If Jiang Shi didn't look like the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife, Chen Mo would have suspected that he was the child of the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife.
Chen Si quickly fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire: "Although I don't want to go to a private school, it's not for the girl. I want to better train myself and become a general who can defend my country.
"Look at this Crown Prince Jiang, what is he doing? He spends every day with his fiancée, not even reading a book or going to the Imperial College. I think he's just enjoying himself and forgetting the heavy responsibilities he carries!"
Mrs. Liu's face darkened. "No, we can't let the prince continue to indulge himself like this. Old Madam Jiang wouldn't want to see the child she raised with her own hands end up like this. I'm going to have a proper talk with the prince."
She hurried away to find Jiang Shi.
Chen Si followed excitedly.
Jiang Shi was painting outside at this time, and Yu Tanqi was indeed beside him.
The boy and girl were wearing clothes of the same color, with fair skin, red lips and white teeth. In the warm spring day, they were like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, making people happy at first sight.
However, Liu frowned, and the look she gave Yu Tanqi was no longer as kind as it had been a few days ago.
