Chapter 239 Yang Chengchen’s Cleverness
After the eldest prince and the eldest princess finished questioning Yang Chengchen carefully and patiently, they both breathed a sigh of relief. At least now it seemed that Princess Funing was still good to her son.
"Did your aunt tell you what you will do next?" The eldest prince's wife asked the question that worried her the most. After all, the future of her child was what she was most worried about. She was not worried that her son would be bullied in life, after all, he had so many people around him!
Speaking of this, Yang Chengchen touched his head stupidly, "My aunt said that starting tomorrow I will go to the Imperial Academy with my cousin Zhao Houyang. If I can get the top scorer in the exam, it will be amazing. Then I will go back to the mansion with my cousin in the afternoon and come back in the evening."
At this point, Yang Chengchen looked at the eldest prince's wife with sparkling eyes, "Mother, can I stay at my aunt's house occasionally? The food there is delicious and the toys are fun."
"Sure! Only occasionally." The eldest prince had grown up in the palace, and he could understand his son's joy at being free. At that time, he had also been eager to spend a night outside the palace. He felt that once the novelty wore off, he would no longer be so eager to stay outside.
When Yang Chengchen often didn't return home, the eldest prince would regret his decision today. But when he knew what his son had learned, he wanted to worship Fu Ning.
Originally, the eldest prince's wife didn't want to agree to let her son live outside, but since the eldest prince had already agreed, she didn't want to be the bad guy. She could only advise, "Be good and don't cause trouble for your aunt!"
Seeing that his father and mother agreed, Yang Chengchen nodded happily. But he was thinking, how could such a beloved child like him cause trouble for his aunt? His aunt loved him so much.
The eldest prince's wife really didn't want her second son to be very successful. She just hoped that he would grow up safely and become the top scholar. Not to mention that no one had ever passed the exam before, how hard would that be?
"Besides, weren't you the one who hated studying the most before? This time, your aunt asked you to go to the Imperial Academy, so why didn't you refuse? And since you're the grandson of the emperor, you don't need to take the imperial examination."
When the eldest prince heard what the eldest prince's wife said, although he did not agree with the queen's idea, he also wanted to see what Yang Chengchen had to say.
"Mother, you're wrong to think so! Auntie said that reading can make people smart and not be easily deceived. And it will also make us quarrel more powerful in the future. I can't argue with people and always say the same two sentences. It's so low-class."
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince and his wife were stunned for a moment. Then the eldest prince burst into laughter, "Chen'er, your aunt is right, so you should study hard and don't let your aunt down."
The eldest prince thought about the ministers' arguments in the court, which were always full of sharp words. It seemed that they had not given enough thought before. Although he hoped that his son would live a safe and prosperous life, if his son was willing to go out and explore, as a parent, he could not clip his wings.
"Princess Funing is truly a wonderful person, but it's a pity she's a woman."
The eldest prince said this, but the eldest princess didn't like it. "Yes, she is a woman, and now she is the eldest princess. You are still a prince, so where is your title?"
"Hehe" the eldest prince could only smile awkwardly.
In the end, the eldest prince and the eldest prince's wife still got to eat the vegetables that Yang Chengchen brought back from the princess's mansion. Maybe because he picked them by hand, Yang Chengchen, who didn't like vegetables, ate a lot of them in the evening.
This made the eldest prince's wife say in her heart that her son and Princess Funing were destined to be together.
After the meal, Yang Chengchen and his elder brother Yang Chengchen left the courtyard of the eldest prince's wife together, "Are you really willing to go to the princess's mansion?"
Yang Chengchen was very worried about his younger brother. He was also afraid that he would force himself for the happiness and benefit of his father and mother.
Yang Chengchen looked at the moon in the sky that followed the two brothers and said sincerely: "Before today, I was unwilling. But today when I went to my aunt's house, I really agreed."
"Why?" Yang Chengchen was puzzled. How could he change his mind in just one day?
"My Royal Grandfather must have had a reason for sending me to my aunt's place. If some of my uncles hadn't had children yet, this good thing wouldn't have happened to me. And I think if I don't go, after a few years when my uncles get married and have children, my Royal Grandfather will send someone else."
When Yang Chengchen said this, he was also stunned for a moment. He was also too concerned and didn't think too much. It can only be said that the probability of a naive person appearing in the royal family is still very small. Those who can grow up safely are all black sesame fillings.
"What makes you think that?"
"The people I saw around my aunt today were all servants in the palace. I asked around and found out that one of them had served my grandfather before. This configuration is enough to make me, Yang Chengchen's master."
Yang Chengchen responded by giving his beloved brother a slap on the head, "Don't you worry about your tongue getting hurt when you brag?"
"Brother, there's more! The atmosphere at my aunt's house is so different from ours. I think my cousins are so happy. My aunt also plays games, does puzzles, and grows vegetables with them. It's so happy."
Yang Chengchen said that he was really envious of this, and he had also observed it. It was not because he went there today that his aunt acted like this. There was a lot of tacit understanding between them, and there were all kinds of mischief. These could not be faked.
Although his mother loved him and his brother, she was too busy. At most, they would have a meal together and ask about what was going on around them. It was impossible for her to play with them like this.
Yang Chengchen frowned when he heard his brother say that, "Then my cousins' studies must be very bad!"
"How is that possible? I woke up at noon today and saw my two cousins reading in the garden. Their studies must be pretty good. After all, poor students don't make good use of their time to study, they just play."
Yang Chengchen was quite curious when he heard his brother say that: "Then I must go and meet him when I get a chance!"
"Okay, I'm done talking to you. I'm going back to bed. I have to go to the Royal Academy tomorrow! If my grades are the worst among my three cousins, I'll lose face!"
After Yang Chengchen finished speaking, he did not forget to salute his brother, and then left with his men.
"Show off!" Although Yang Chengchen said this, he still happily took his men back to his own courtyard. In his heart, he felt a little relieved. He was happy that his brother was not forced to do this.
The next day, Yang Chengchen got up on time, packed up, and went to the Imperial Academy to study with Zhao Houyang. He wanted to do something a little tricky, but seeing his cousin Zhao Houyang's serious look, he had no choice but to persevere. It can only be said that men have a competitive spirit since childhood.
