Chapter 276 Yang Chengchen confronts the eldest prince
The eldest prince didn't want to hit him at first, but he felt that this guy deserved a beating, so he reached out and patted him on the back, "Alright, have fun by yourself! I'm leaving now."
Yang Chengchen watched the eldest prince quickly leave and shouted, "Father, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it!"
Yang Chengchen saw that after he said this, the eldest prince moved even faster as he left, as if he was afraid of being blackmailed.
This wasn't the eldest prince's fault; Yang Chengchen simply loved snatching the eldest prince's jade pendants. After so many years of Yang Chengchen's tireless efforts, the eldest prince no longer had many good jade pendants. No one would believe it if he told anyone else about it.
Just after the eldest prince left, someone from Princess Funing's residence came to give him a basket full of fruit. Not only Yang Chengchen, but even the eldest prince and his wife were stunned.
The emperor had gifted this fruit to the mansions of his brothers a few days ago, with two plates for each mansion. The eldest prince and his wife felt deeply hurt as they watched Yang Chengchen squatting in front of the basket, picking and choosing.
"Is Fu Ning really not the emperor's daughter?" The eldest prince brought up the topic again. He really felt that he was deeply hurt.
The fruits at Funing Mansion were packed in baskets, and anyone in his mansion would be grateful if they got two, especially since he cherished them so much that he couldn't bear to eat his two. Then look at Yang Chengchen squatting in front of the basket to pick the biggest ones, the contrast is too tragic.
The eldest prince's wife thought to herself that it was impossible, but looking at the basket of fruit in front of her, she fell silent.
Yang Chengchen was speechless when he heard the eldest prince question his aunt's identity, "Father, can you be more reliable?"
The eldest prince wanted to say something, but when he looked at the plate full of fruits in Yang Chengchen's hand, he wisely swallowed his words.
Yang Chengchen nimbly dodged the eldest prince's outstretched hand: "This is what my brother left behind. You and mother can choose the rest!"
"You unfilial son." Although the eldest prince cursed Yang Chengchen, he was still very happy to see that the two brothers had a good relationship.
The eldest prince watched him pick out a plate, and the eldest princess picked out a plate, then he pressed the issue further, saying, "Can you give some to your other brothers and sisters?"
"No!" After saying this, Yang Chengchen quickly handed the basket to his servant and signaled him to take it down with his eyes.
By the time the eldest prince realized what was happening, the basket was gone, let alone the fruit. The eldest princess's wife was also unhappy when she heard His Highness say that, so she simply took her plate and left. Anyway, her son would take care of him.
The eldest prince saw that only Yang Chengchen was present, and he kept taking food from his plate to eat. He couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "They are all your brothers and sisters, why are you so stingy and don't have any brotherhood at all?"
"Father, you can tell my eldest brother about this, but it's useless to tell me. I'm the second son, and I won't be inheriting your family business, so of course I'm just acting according to my mood."
Yang Chengchen was extremely glad that he was going to learn skills from his aunt. In the future, maybe his father would have to look at his face! He didn't want to bother with those half-brothers and sisters.
"You" It was the first time that the eldest prince heard his son say this. He was so angry that his hand was shaking as he pointed at him.
"Besides, why don't my brothers and sisters think of me? My sisters have been learning embroidery for so long, but I haven't even seen a single thread. And my brothers, let alone me, every time they see me, they act like victorious roosters. Who are they showing off to? I am the legitimate son."
"Can't you be more generous?" The eldest prince was stunned when he heard Yang Chengchen say this. It was the first time he saw the discord between his children exposed in front of him. Of course, he also felt Yang Chengchen's fearlessness.
"Then father, why don't you be more generous to the second and third uncles?" When it comes to poking fun at people, Yang Chengchen thinks he is professional.
Originally, Yang Chengchen could play the role of a brother who is friendly and respectful to his younger brother, but thinking about having to play this role for the rest of his life made him feel tired, so he decided to give up! Maybe he had been with his aunt for too long and he didn't want to live this kind of life anymore.
The eldest prince was almost angry to death. He was so angry that he searched everywhere in the house for something. He was determined to beat this kid today.
"Father, go ahead and beat me! After you do that, I'll go cry in front of my grandfather tomorrow."
The eldest prince used his remaining rationality to suppress his impulse. He really wasn't sure whether his father would vent his anger on this kid.
"Get lost!"
"Okay! Son, I'll take my leave!" Yang Chengchen immediately stood up and saluted in one go, then quickly slipped away with his men.
The eldest prince watched Yang Chengchen leave and smashed a vase beside him. His anger subsided a little. Then he angrily took the plate of fruit and went to the concubine's courtyard.
When the eldest prince's wife heard the servant's report, she simply said, "Don't worry about it."
The eldest prince's wife now has two very successful sons and a stable status. She does not rely on favoritism to survive.
Although Yang Chengchen had pissed off the eldest prince that day, the next day he came to the palace with his newly acquired jade pendant, looking distressed, to seek peace. The reason for this was that the next day, the emperor had conferred the title of prince upon all the princes, but none of them had any official title. Therefore, Yang Chengchen still held the highest rank among all the others.
Moreover, the emperor also gave Yang Chengchen the Prince's Mansion, which was right next to the Princess Funing's Mansion. Although the plaque said Ruihe Prince's Mansion, the scale of the mansion was that of a prince's mansion before, and the emperor did not say that he wanted to change it, so the emperor's intentions were obvious.
The eldest prince reflected on himself. He was only a prince now. Even if he could inherit the throne in the future, he would at most confer the title of prince on Yang Chengchen. With the help of Princess Funing, Yang Chengchen might have been conferred the title of prince when his father was still alive.
He really had no room to display his abilities, so he could only sigh inwardly, "He's truly a confident brat."
Yang Chengchen was practicing martial arts in the yard. When he finished, he turned around and saw the person standing behind him: "Father"
Although Yang Chengchen was puzzled, didn't he just make his father jump up and down yesterday? Why did he do it again today? No matter what he thought in his heart, he still obediently called for help.
"When did you start learning martial arts?" The eldest prince looked at his son in confusion.
Yang Chengchen thought his father's serious expression was about to ask something, but he just asked, "Oh, I went to my aunt's house to learn with my cousins!"
The eldest prince took out the jade pendant he had prepared in advance and handed it to Yang Chengchen.
Yang Chengchen took it and tossed it in his hand. Every time he tossed it, the eldest prince shuddered with heartache, and finally he could only look away helplessly.
