The prince's eyes were a little incomprehensible, as if he was trying to tell whether Chu Qing was playing tricks on him.
Chu Qing was a little nervous.
If this little brat was unhappy and misunderstood him again, wouldn't he die unjustly?
"Oh, Your Highness, how about I tell you a different story?"
The prince smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I really like to hear stories. What's your name?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment.
After all, he is a prince, so he has to be careful. If he tells a story about bad rules, he will easily lose his head.
After much thought, Chu Qing decided that it would be better to rely on fairy tales to avoid being caught.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?"
"Yes, it's just a matter of a very beautiful princess meeting seven men and living together."
The prince's expression changed, and he said happily: "This story... is very charming, you can tell just by hearing the name."
Chu Qing was dumbfounded.
This prince... the emperor could not have raised the prince in Yihongyuan since he was a child, right?
Tong Gui's expression changed: "Master Chu, be careful what you say!"
Chu Qing: "..."
Even Changxian, who had been holding the bamboo slips, frowned and looked at Chu Qing with an unkind look on his face.
"No, fairy tales." Chu Qing was anxious and quickly explained: "Do you understand fairy tales? They are told to children."
Telling the prince a fragrant story, this matter spread to the ears of the emperor, and the beginning was from the Yi tribe.
It's okay that Chu Qing didn't explain. After such an explanation, the prince suddenly stood up and slapped the desk with his little hand: "How dare you treat me like a child?!"
Tong Gui quickly knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, please calm down, Mr. Chu... Mr. Chu, he acted unintentionally and spoke without hesitation."
Chu Qing was so angry that he hesitated to go up and give the prince a big mouth.
When he thought that if he did this, it would be easy for him and his father to queue up for soup on the Naihe Bridge. Chu Qing finally gave in and bent down to salute.
"The little people don't hesitate to speak. Your Highness, please calm down."
Chu Qing said this sentence with extreme grievance, and he couldn't accept the apology from a stupid person.
"Drag him out." Chang Yuhe waved his hand like he was shooing away flies: "Hit him ten times, and then let him tell a story to me."
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically, but Tong Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell..." Chu Qing finally broke out and gritted his teeth and said: "Whoever touches me, let alone tell a story, I will tell you one more word, and I will write it backwards!"
This time it was Tong Gui's turn to change his face. Chang Yu obviously didn't expect Chu Qing to be so stubborn and was slightly surprised.
In fact, Chu Qing really misunderstood.
First of all, Chang Yu really hates others treating him like a child. At least, that's what he always said. Chu Qing directly criticized others for being "Ni Lin".
Secondly, Chu Qing misunderstood. He thought that the so-called ten boards and ten strokes of the stick were similar.
Hong Gaozhi fainted after being hit by one blow. Chu Qing was present at the time. Not to mention ten blows, even three or five blows could leave him disabled.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Qing exploded. Of course, it was a small explosion. If it was a big explosion, he would just slap his mouth.
"You still dare to threaten Gu?"
Chang Yu snorted coldly: "So what if Gu just doesn't listen to this story? Tong Gui, drag him down and beat him thirty times, give Gu a hard beating!"
Chu Qing was dumbfounded.
This kid... is quite serious. He would rather not listen to the story than clean himself up?
If this were done in future generations, he would definitely be able to pass Lan Xiang's exam with full marks.
Tong Gui looked helpless. He felt that there was something wrong with Chu Qing's brain.
"Young Master Chu, you have your destiny." Standing up, Tong Gui grabbed Chu Qing's shoulder.
"Zhuo, what the hell..."
Before Chu Qing finished speaking, the door was pushed open again, and two people walked in one after another, it was Tao Yao and Tao Ruolin.
When he saw Lao Tao coming, the prince, who looked arrogant just now, quickly bowed and saluted, as did Chang's second son, Changxian. The two brothers respectfully called him "Master Tao".
Seeing that there were other people there, Tao Yao looked at Chu Qing. He might be a little presbyopic, so he squinted his eyes and looked up and down.
"I...have seen you before, you are..." Tao Yao was stunned for a moment and then remembered: "You are the boastful brat who shamelessly went to my mansion to ask for a hand in marriage!"
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
I am your father!
"Why are you here?" Tao Yao obviously didn't have a good impression of Chu Qing, and looked coldly at him.
"Master Tao, he is the general appointed by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Lecturing the scriptures, yes, yes, teaching the scriptures!" Chang Yu quickly interrupted and said, "Master Tao, it was Gu who brought him here to teach the scriptures to Gu and his second brother."
"Just him?"
Chu Qing once swore that if another person named Tao said to him "It depends on you", he would definitely take action.
But reality... is still cruel after all.
Chu Qing knew the virtues of the Tao family, so he was too lazy to speak and noticed Tao Ruolin behind Tao Yao.
Tao Ruolin stared at Chu Qing with big eyes, her brows filled with...contempt.
Miss Tao also misunderstood. She just heard from her father that Chu Qing had asked for a hand in marriage. She thought it was because Chu Qing wanted to stew in an iron pot and went to the Tao Mansion to ask for a hand in her, the young lady.
Chang Yu was also full of nonsense, and the reason why he lied to Tao Yao was because he was afraid that the old man would know that he was not doing his job and went to report to his father, so he told all the nonsense.
How could Tao Yao be easily fooled? He didn't go into details at first, but looked at Chu Qing with suspicion: "Why are you in the palace?"
"Accepted by my father's orders, I repaired the Taowu Hall."
"Since the main hall is being repaired, why did you come to the East Palace?"
"I…"
Chang Yu interjected: "Teaching, I came to teach. I heard that he was quite talented, so I came to ask for advice."
"Really?" Tao Yao obviously didn't believe it, but he was not in a hurry to expose the prince's lie and sat down with a half-smile.
Looking at Chu Qing, Tao Yao's eyes were full of contempt like his daughter's, and he said lightly: "The scholars who come to the East Palace to teach scriptures are all people who have read poetry and books, but they don't know Chu Qing."
How can the young master teach the prince how virtuous he is?"
Chu Qing's brain was thinking quickly.
Offend Tao Yao and rescue the prince?
Or should we expose the prince and let this kid be dealt with?
In a ten thousandth of a second, Chu Qing made a decision.
He offended the prince and exposed the prince's lies. Tao Yao couldn't give them money to spend money. He hated him even if he should hate him.
Tao Yao didn't like him anyway, so he might as well help the prince out of trouble.
After giving a salute, Chu Qing said: "Master Tao misunderstood that it was the boy Meng Lang. He boasted a few words to others, and the prince mistakenly thought that the boy was quite talented, so he called for an examination."
Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Yao snorted slightly: "Did you brag a few words? I'm afraid it's not that you just came here to flatter me?"
"Master Potter misunderstood."
"When I first met you, I knew you were not a kind person, you looked like a villain!"
After looking at Chu Qing from top to bottom again, Tao Yao said in a deep voice: "What is the crime for flattering the prince? I will definitely read your book in front of your majesty tomorrow. It is because of people like you that the prince spends all his time
No learning!"
Chu Qing was still bent over and lowered his head, but fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
The second time, Chu Qing swore again that he would never let him find an opportunity. Once he found an opportunity, he would definitely make the Tao family's life worse than death. He would definitely ravage them severely to relieve the hatred in his heart!
At this time, Chang Lao Er Changxian said softly: "Master Tao, please calm down. Mr. Chu has indeed taught you some knowledge. It is not a profound knowledge, but it is not to flatter the emperor."
It has to be said that Chang Laoer is very kind. He knows the cause and effect. He can't bear the emperor's brother being scolded, and he can't bear Chu Qing to suffer unreasonable disasters, so he helps the prince and Chu Qing lie.
"Okay!" Tao Yao stood up: "Then tell me what knowledge you taught. If you can't explain it, don't blame me for reading your Chu family book tomorrow."
Chu Qing sighed: "It's just some poems, not profound knowledge."
"I'm afraid you can't say anything knowledgeable. Even if it's not profound, I still want to listen. If you can't tell me, don't blame me for pursuing you."
"Oh, okay." Chu Qing raised his head, turned around expressionlessly, and said pretentiously: "Your Highnesses, where did you just talk?"
The two princes looked at each other, where did this guy just talk?
The eyes of Xia Wujing and Xun Wukong are relatively dangerous and charming?
"Oh, taking power for a while will be desolate for eternity." Chu Qing blinked at the two princes: "Those who live in morality will be lonely for a while, and those who rely on power will be desolate for eternity. Masters look at things outside of things and think about what is behind them.
You should endure the loneliness of a moment, rather than suffer the desolation of eternity."
Chu Qing really couldn't think of any knowledge. He thought of Cai Gentan and casually said it, thinking that he should pass this level first before talking about it.
Unexpectedly, the faces of brothers Chang Yu and Chang Xian changed slightly, especially Chang Lao Er, whose eyes were full of surprise.
Chu Qing blinked his eyes again: "Having little experience in the world, little experience, deep experience, and deep mechanics, a gentleman is not as simple and ruthless as he is sophisticated, and he is worse than being arrogant than being cautious. Didn't I just finish what I said?
I forgot about it so quickly. It contains more than fifteen thousand words. Your Highnesses are free to learn about it. Just like that, I say goodbye and have to go back to build the main hall."
After finishing his words, Chu Qing turned around, saluted Tao Yao and left, fearing that he would be made things difficult for him if he stayed any longer.
"stop!"
Seeing that Chu Qing had already crossed the threshold, Tao Yao cried out: "Quickly stop me!"
