Chapter 344 The Crown Prince Hunger Strikes
For two days in a row, Fang Zhengyi saw no sign of Li Yuanzhao in Banshanfang.
It seemed that he had been shocked, and his whole body shrank up.
Fang Zheng didn't take it seriously at all. He had just two free days and he had to go to school to educate himself. That would sound too daddy and we wouldn't do it.
Besides, young people are forgetful, and they will get over it in a couple of days, so there is nothing to be anxious about.
He was not completely idle these two days. He took advantage of this time to quickly catch up on the relevant knowledge about the imperial examination, and arranged for Xiao Tao to help him make some work preparations.
Don’t let your secrets show up when the time comes. Don’t let your high-achieving persona collapse! Otherwise, if someone catches you, it might not be as simple as a slap in the face!
I didn't dare to ask openly, so I could only wait until after the meeting and ask others in a subtle way.
Fortunately, I have learned something, and I have a general understanding of the process, so I won’t be timid when the time comes.
I did take the college entrance examination, but compared with the imperial examination, I was really ruined!
I have no memory of the imperial examination, and I have never cared about such things.
Once the county gate is closed, it has been left to its own devices.
There are scholars in Taoyuan County, but they are locked up tightly by him and no one can take the exam!
Nowadays, the new generation of school-age students who have grown up have no talent at all. They can only speak in the vernacular, and they can't use it at all...
The county magistrate is "illiterate" and the people under his rule are also "illiterate". This is very reasonable!
At noon on this day, the sky was filled with white clouds and the breeze was blowing.
The whole family of the Fang Mansion gathered in the courtyard to have lunch, and the servants and nurses followed suit and set up several large tables.
Fang Zhengyi's table was filled with people close to him, sitting under the shade of a tree.
There are many dishes on each table, mainly meat dishes.
Taoyuan County sent a few milk-flavored pigs over. I originally wanted to wait for dinner, but I couldn't resist everyone's greed, so I just cooked them all at noon.
The fragrance blew far away along the breeze, causing many people on the street to sniff.
After Fang Zhengyi was the first to move his chopsticks, everyone began to eat happily.
While we were enjoying our meal, an uninvited guest broke in.
A panicked figure appeared in the yard, looking a little disheveled in a hurry.
Fang Zheng was delighted to see the visitors one by one: "Liu Jin? Why did you come to my house if you weren't in the East Palace? Are you here to get some food?"
Liu Jin looked at the food on the table, swallowed, turned around and complained loudly: "Master Fang, please stop joking."
"Go quickly...go to the East Palace and have a look. His Highness has not had water or rice for two days and is unwilling to leave the house! What should I do?"
"I went to the imperial doctor and they all said I'm fine!"
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
I haven’t eaten for two days! It’s not like the prince’s character!
How could you starve yourself to death if you feel bad? Maybe you ate it secretly.
Forget it, ignore him!
"Liu Jin, have you eaten? Let's eat some together?" Fang Zheng asked.
Liu Jin couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't you dare! Master Fang, you'd better go and see His Highness... I'm afraid that something will happen to him due to hunger."
Fang Zheng thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Your Highness just has no appetite, and the food in the palace is unpalatable, so he can't eat it!"
"Come! Take this elbow to His Highness and tell him that it is from me. This elbow is so delicious that you must try it!"
Liu Jin looked at the attractive elbow on the table and licked his lips: "Is...is this okay? Mr. Fang, what happened to the prince? Why don't you go there yourself."
"Hey! Your Highness is fine, send him there quickly! Don't waste time, don't get cold on the way!"
As soon as Fang Zheng tapped his elbow with chopsticks, Xiao Tao immediately stood up and went to get a food box to put it in, along with a few more dishes.
Before Liu Jin could react, the food box was already stuffed into his hand.
As soon as Fang Zheng stood up, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walnuts from the table and stuffed them into Liu Jin's sleeves, then waved his hand: "Go!"
The flesh on Liu Jin's face twitched!
You use this to test eunuchs!? Which eunuch can’t stand such a test!
You treat me like a three-year-old, right?
I originally thought that the prince, who had been living in poverty for two days, wanted to invite Fang Zhengyi to come over. The two of them usually have a very good relationship, so they should be able to get over it just by talking. I didn't expect that Fang Zhengyi would take it so seriously!
Liu Jin said anxiously on the spot: "Sir! The food is delicious but useless! I'm afraid the prince will have big problems if he continues like this!"
"He hasn't read any books for the past two days!"
Books? Does the prince still read books?
Fang Zheng smiled heartlessly: "What books does Your Highness usually read?"
Liu Jin's face turned red, he leaned over and whispered into Fang Zheng's ear.
Everyone at the table could vaguely hear some indescribable book titles.
After listening, Fang Zheng was immediately in awe!
It’s amazing that I can read these boring things every day! Now I don’t even read the books anymore, which shows that something is really wrong!
He didn't read the Cao Liu Community (referring to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Forum) so frequently back then!
"Wait a minute! I'll follow you right away!"
After that, Fang Zheng got up and ran back into the house. After a while, he changed into official uniform and told everyone in the courtyard: "You guys can eat! You don't have to wait for me."
Liu Jin was overjoyed and quickly held the food box in one hand and pulled Fang Zhengyi's sleeve with the other.
When they arrived outside the door, they discovered that Liu Jin had even prepared his horse.
"Let's go! Tell me on the way what the prince has been doing these two days!"
Chapter completed!
