Chapter 22 Grange

After the evening banquet dispersed, Xie Chenyu staggered to the backyard.

Standing in the pavilion in the middle of the back garden, you didn't even think about where you were going for a long time?

The Zhao family was stupid and domineering, while the Cui family was sensitive and thoughtful. When they saw him, several of his concubines jumped on him. The makeup on their faces and the fragrance all over their bodies made them choke to death.

Mrs. Lin was honest and turned against herself, but she had a purpose in getting close to him.

Looking around the entire backyard, there was not even a single person talking.

Xie Chenyu sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and dropped the fish food casually. The golden carp gate instantly squeezed his head and rushed to grab the food, just like the women in the backyard.

With a chuckle, Xie Chenyu stood up and staggered out of the backyard.

——

The next day, Qirui Palace

The third prince Xie Chenkang came to say goodbye to his mother and concubine. From today on, he will study behind closed doors in the mansion for a year and is not allowed to go out unless called upon.

The mother and son hugged each other and cried.

In the middle of crying, Concubine Chen suddenly pushed her son away and slapped him hard.

"Sir, have you done any harm to anyone? Where did the evidence come from? Who is that palace maid named Hongxin? Are you making the same old habit again?"

"Mother concubine!"

Xie Chenkang covered his red and swollen left face, resisting in disbelief.

"My son has long since corrected that problem. He hasn't been lucky enough to see a palace maid for a long time. This matter of eighth brother really has nothing to do with me. I don't know what the red core is."

When he was fifteen years old, Xie Chenkang had difficulty restraining himself when it came to people affairs, and repeatedly touched the maids around him.

Concubine Chen reprimanded him several times but did not correct her. She did not stop until she selected several beautiful female accountants for him.

Even so, Xie Chenkang still made moves on the lustful palace maids from time to time.

He also often covered up the mistakes of the palace maids, and was cheated of money and jewelry by the palace ladies.

The most serious one was when a palace maid claimed that she was pregnant and wanted to fly up a branch, but Concubine Chen found out.

That time, Concubine Chen severely beat Xie Chenkang twenty times, and only then did she completely stop.

"I don't know why people would blame you. Your father is most taboo about fratricide. Your eighth brother is not very old, so why would you do it..."

"I said it's not me. Concubine, you have to tell me a few times before you believe it. It's really not me!"

Xie Chenkang's eyes turned red with anger.

Concubine Chen sneered: "Why are you angry at me?"

"What's important about you? What's important is that you've been imprisoned for a year, and everything has been delayed!"

"Do you know what it means to be exempted from participating in political affairs?"

"If you don't want to do it, just don't do it." Xie Chenkang scratched his hair hard.

"I didn't understand it at first. I couldn't even understand my husband's lectures. I'm not the mother-in-law. Why do you always force me?"

Concubine Chen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Gritting her teeth and feeling helpless, she stabbed her son in the head hard.

"You, you, you may not be destined for that position, do you know that?"

"If you don't have a chance, you have no chance. I don't care about it at all."

"you!!"

"If nothing happens, my son will resign first. He cannot enter the palace this year. Mother and concubine, please take care of yourself."

Before Concubine Chen could say anything else, Xie Chenkang had disappeared.

"The traitor! The traitor!"

Concubine Chen was so angry that she kept cursing.

——

At the same time, a silent banquet was being placed in the side hall of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Not only do I want to create an image of the emperor's eldest son who is calm and kind, but I also want to thank several staff members for their long-term advice.

A silent banquet is the best way to celebrate, without any silk or bamboo, but still having fun.

"Your Highness won this battle beautifully. I admire you so much."

"Indeed, although the third prince is not a clever opponent, if you get rid of one, His Highness's chances are higher."

"Without the right to participate in political affairs, wouldn't it mean that he would no longer be able to attend court, and the third prince would have to be an idle prince?"

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness is really smart!"

With every word and word, everyone praised Xie Chenke, looking drunk.

"The third brother is quite good. With his temperament, he may be more obedient in the future. I don't plan to make things too difficult for him."

"Which of the remaining ones is your Highness most optimistic about?" asked an aide.

Xie Chenke silently took a sip of strong wine and slowly made a 'five' sign.

"Why not the sixth prince? I think the sixth prince is smart, but he is too romantic and does not do his job all day long."

Xie Chenyu was born better than all his brothers.

He is nine feet long, with jade trees in the wind. He is also very particular about his clothes. A dozen or twenty embroiderers would take a month to embroider a casual robe. The patterns on his body are complicated and gorgeous.

The whole image of him is a graceful and noble man, not to mention the natural nobility in his every move.

"If the Sixth Prince uses a little more effort, I'm afraid you are no match for him."

"Don't worry, let's see again"

Xie Chenkang didn't care much.

Not to mention that he had watched Lao Liu since he was a child, but let’s just talk about his group of bad friends and his bad calligraphy.

Not to mention reading.

There are always two people in the study room being scolded by the teacher, one is the third child and the other is the sixth child.

Apart from his riding and shooting skills, Lao Liu barely managed to not embarrass the royal family's children, but the rest was simply miserable.

"The way of an emperor lies in tactics, like Lao Liu...hehe..."

The staff thought about it too.

In recent years, the Sixth Prince has become quite famous in the capital.

The places I visit most often are Ruyifang and Zuixianlou. My favorite thing is to visit brothels, drink wine and admire beauties.

The thing he hated the most was reading. His bad handwriting was like a dog crawling, which made the Sixth Prince reluctant to reveal his pen and ink easily.

He is so secretive that he often makes a fool of himself.

"Then your Highness, let's think carefully about how to deal with this," he said with a 'five' sign.

"Gentlemen, please give me some advice."

Xie Chenke agreed.

The banquet began, and beauties dressed in tulle came over with smiles and toasts.

Rooms have already been prepared nearby.

After three rounds of drinking, several staff members took a beauty to their respective houses. Soon the whole yard was filled with a blushing sound.

——

After the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet, Xie Chenyu was busy for nearly half a month before stopping.

It was already the late winter month, several heavy snowfalls had passed, and the capital city was completely sealed by ice and snow.

When Xie Chenyu came to Bibo Garden again, Lin Ximeng was startled.

"Your Highness, this..."

The scruffy beard, the bluish complexion, the fingers with frostbite, and the vicissitudes of life between the eyebrows.

Every bit of it is inconsistent with the image of the noble sixth prince.

In contrast, Lin Ximeng had become so beautiful during these days that she had to change her clothes twice before she could barely wear them.

"Where are you coming from?"

Ruddy fingers took off Xie Chenyu's coat, and Lin Ximeng could vaguely see that he had lost a lot of weight.

The well-fitting underwear hangs empty on the body, like a walking clothes hanger.

"You really want to know?"

Lin Ximeng didn't say much. She served him with hot soup and tea, washed him up, and ordered Qingqing to bring him hot snacks.

Xie Chenyu was not picky and just drank several mouthfuls of snacks with hot tea. He choked and drank tea three times.

"I went to the farm given by my father."
