Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan deceived the eldest son of the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, into Cining Palace...
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and showed off to Zhu Youxiao: "How about it, His Majesty the Crown Prince? I guess the carpentry work in your mind should be wooden stools, wooden chairs and so on, right?"
Zhu Youxiao blushed and said nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his right index finger, pretending to be a mentor, and said plausibly: "The so-called carpentry should not stick to the form. The woodworking objects made should not only look good, but also be practical. What is the practical method? The simplest way.
It's... uh, it means it can move. This one can move... uh, it involves a certain amount of machinery... Oh no, it's machine knowledge...
..Government knowledge? Do you understand, don’t you? This is a lot of knowledge. To put it simply, if you make a wooden bird, it will definitely not be able to fly. But, as long as you join the organization, it can still fly.
..."
Ma Xiaoquan was talking eloquently, and Zhu Youxiao was so mesmerized that he didn't even realize that Ma Xiaoquan said bad words.
"Ma Xiaoquan, I can't believe that you actually know the art of mechanism," Zhu Youxiao said with a look of admiration.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I understand a little, I understand a little, but it's a pity that my talent is very low and I can't learn many things. But if you are His Highness the Crown Prince, you must be able to learn something. Your Highness the Crown Prince has a superb understanding. If you compare His Highness the Crown Prince
If I were an eagle with spread wings, then I, Ma Xiaoquan, would be a little chicken..."
No matter how young he is, Zhu Youxiao still likes to be flattered. Ma Xiaoquan's words directly touched Zhu Youxiao's heart. Zhu Youxiao laughed and nodded proudly.
: "Of course, I'm not bragging. Among people of the same age in Beijing, who can do carpentry as well as me?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and thought to himself, are you a fucking prince or a carpenter? The person who is about to become the emperor is a fucking carpenter. Oh, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao, the nickname of "Zhu Carpenter", look
It's really well deserved to come and do it for you.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you made me feel the charm of carpentry and the essence of carpentry. What you just said is right. Only by adding some useful mechanical skills can carpentry be more perfect.
....." Zhu Youxiao said, with little stars appearing in his eyes.
At this moment, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, appeared. Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Cining Palace safely, Fang Congzhe very skillfully praised Ma Xiaoquan in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In the past, he was flattering the prince, but now it is the chief minister who is flattering him. Although Ma Xiaoquan's expression was very humble, he felt extremely happy in his heart. Fang Congzhe, this old guy, is so good at life.
"Cough cough" After enough greetings, Fang Congzhe immediately coughed twice.
Ma Xiaoquan knew Fang Congzhe's intention very well and quickly informed His Highness the Prince of his return.
Zhu Youxiao was just a child, and at the moment he was obsessed with doing carpentry work. Regarding Ma Xiaoquan's resignation, Zhu Youxiao just said "oh" and stopped talking to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan was also happy to do so. After all, Zhu Youxiao had not yet become the emperor. It was not good to be too hot with Zhu Youxiao at this time.
...
After bidding farewell to Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao and Chief Assistant Fang Congzhe, Ma Xiaoquan strode out of Cining Palace.
Just a few steps out the door, a woman full of fragrance bumped into Ma Xiaoquan.
The woman fell into Ma Xiaoquan's arms almost intentionally, and touched Ma Xiaoquan's chest several times with both hands.
Ma Xiaoquan pulled the woman out of his arms with some disgust and said, "Who are you?"
The woman lowered her head and seemed to have no intention of raising her head. Ma Xiaoquan originally wanted to ask the woman to raise her head, but he also thought that he was just a commoner now and it was no small honor to be able to walk around in the palace.
It's better not to cause trouble.
"Forget it" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and turned sideways slightly to avoid the woman.
After Ma Xiaoquan walked away, the woman raised her head with a smile.
"Why have I never seen such a strong and handsome boy? Oh, I really like him..."
The woman walked into Cining Palace with a smile as she spoke.
"Nanny" Zhu Youxiao was extremely happy when she saw the woman. She ran over happily and took the woman's hand.
The woman kissed Zhu Youxiao's head lovingly: "Prince, why did you come to Cining Palace suddenly? If I hadn't been well-informed, I wouldn't have known..."
"Uh-huh." Next to Zhu Youxiao, Fang Congzhe stared at the woman with a gloomy face, meaning why don't you say hello to me? After all, I am the chief minister of the cabinet, right?
The woman didn't seem to pay attention to Fang Congzhe just because he was so yummy. Instead, she still went her own way and chatted with Zhu Youxiao.
Fang Congzhe was an old man and knew that this woman was not easy to mess with, so he had to quietly retire. However... before he left, he specially arranged a number of reliable, honest and loyal people to guard His Highness the Crown Prince in Cining Palace.
.
Fang Congzhe left the women's room, feeling overjoyed, and then asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Highness, who is that young man who just left Cining Palace?"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment: "Which brother?"
The woman made a rough gesture, and Zhu Youxiao looked at it and said with a smile: "Oh, nanny, you are talking about him. Oh, he is a friend of mine, and he also likes to do carpentry. His name is Ma Xiaoquan, and he is Ma
The fourth young master is the only one in the family who remains in the capital."
"Ma Xiaoquan...oh" the woman lowered her head and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips, "Why is this name so familiar?"
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "The fourth young master of the Ma family is the stubborn master of our capital. It is natural for the wet nurse to think that his name is familiar..."
Zhu Youxiao reminded her like this, and the woman suddenly remembered the children's song circulating in the capital.
"Oh, it turns out it's him..." the woman said casually, but she said in her heart: I always thought that the fourth young master of the Ma family was just a playboy... he should be a drunkard.
This ugly man who has emptied his body didn’t expect to see a real person today... such a young and strong handsome guy... No, I must have a fight with him someday.
