Chapter VII: On the King's Respect, Jiang Lang went berserk
If he were older, with a beautiful face and an unchanging expression, maybe everyone would take a higher look. But then everyone thought of Tao Chi's age and felt bored, so they averted their eyes and stopped looking at him.
A child with a yellow mouth, I still don’t understand the fragrance of my daughter, it would be strange if I reacted.[]
Wang Qi felt a little sore in her heart and muttered: "Children are just children, and they still need help wiping their hands."
Dao Chi withdrew his attention from the door. When he heard this sentence, he turned his head, his eyes lightly slid over Wang Qi's crotch, and said slowly: "Seventh brother...has grown up..."
Wang Qi's scalp went numb after being looked at by the Taoist idiot. Hearing these words, he felt something was wrong, but he still said stubbornly: "Of course you have grown up, who can't be a child?"
The prince was sitting on Wang Qi's left hand. He heard the two brothers talking and joked: "Qi Lang, don't be so proud. You have forgotten that you were terribly lazy when you were a child. You even had to be fed by others when you were eating cakes. You also said that you were young.
Who is the one who can't hold the cake?"
Wang Qi said sarcastically: "My good highness, please don't expose me. After all, you are trying to preserve my dignity in front of my younger brother. Otherwise, as an older brother, how can I educate my younger brother in the future?"
The prince smiled and said: "Erlang seems to be more stable than you, so there is no use for you to worry about preaching."
Wang Qi said proudly: "Your Highness, you have made a mistake. Erlang just looks safe, but in fact he is still a child. Not to mention other things, when it comes to food, eat the dishes you like and not the ones you don't.
I would rather eat plain rice than pick up a chopstick."
During these days when Dao Chi was studying the rules in the clan house, he often ate with Wang Qi. The food cooked by wealthy people was different from the cooking method of the outside Jiufang. They cooked cabbage and also used broth.
Since Dao Chi was a vegetarian, of course he didn't need these, so he only served two vegetarian cold dishes. When the head of the house, Grandma Zhen, got the news, she thought that Dao Chi was impatient for hot dishes in the hot weather, so she ordered the kitchen to make more dishes for each meal.
The cold dishes were served, but they were half meat and vegetables.
Wang Qi was already fat and had a hard time in the summer. She didn't realize it at first. Seeing Dao eating refreshing cold dishes like this, she was impatient to eat hot dishes, so she only ate cold dishes. In this way, she could eat both meat and vegetable dishes.
Although he is clean, no one pays attention to the fact that Taoist idiots only eat vegetarian food.
Only Wang Qi knows, but he doesn’t think that Daoist Chi is quitting meat because he is “sincere to the Buddha”, but that he is too picky about food. Even if he has never eaten meat and feels that the meat has a fishy smell, he can get used to it after gritting his teeth and eating a few meals.
, the reason for not wanting to eat is simply because I can’t bear to force myself and I’m too picky about my mouth.
This is what Wang Qi calls the "picky eating theory."
The prince said indifferently: "Who didn't come here like this when they were young? When I was a child, I couldn't stand the smell of vegetables and beany. My mother and concubine made people use thousands of green vegetables and add meat to make stuffing, so I could only eat one or two bites. Don't talk about it now.
Thousand pieces of green vegetables with a lighter taste, and even the old tofu with the strongest beany smell, I can eat it." At this point, I couldn't help but look at the Taoist idiot with pity in his eyes.
In his opinion, it is common for children to be picky eaters, and as long as the elders pay attention, they can more or less change it. However, the Taoist idiot was raised in a temple from a young age, and was sent to the palace as a companion when he came down the mountain. No elders cared about him.
.
At this time, he did not know that Chi had passed from an eunuch family to an ordinary family in the clan, otherwise the injustice would have become even worse.
The prince was so close to the Wang brothers. Others could only envy him, but Jiang Lin was extremely annoyed. He snorted coldly and said: "The dishes are almost cold, why should we open the banquet?"
The prince looked at Jiang Lin with a smile and said, "Is it possible that my second cousin is hungry? Why don't you use some snacks to satisfy your hunger first?"
Jiang Lin frowned and said, "That kid Lu Bing said there was no need to wait for him, so why didn't His Highness order the banquet to begin? It's all His Highness's connivance that made that kid feel so careless."
The prince's smile faded and he said slowly: "How I should behave is taught by my father, queen, mother and concubine. There is no need for my second cousin to worry about it."
Jiang Lin was choked so much that his face turned red and he looked at the Crown Prince angrily.
The prince looked at him with a bit of coldness on his face.
Jiang Lin puffed up his cheeks and looked away, but the evil fire in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Even if he couldn't spread his anger on the prince, he was not afraid of others. Naturally, the first person to bear the brunt was Wang Qi, who was the prince's best friend: "You
This guy is fat and stupid, how can he have the nerve to come into the mansion as a reading companion? Are the Wang family too arrogant? They knew that the mansion reading companion was to accompany His Highness to study, yet they sent the most stupid person here. Huh, he calls himself Anlu Di
With this surname, even the palace doesn’t take it seriously.”
Although Wang Qi didn't want to provoke Jiang Lin, she didn't have the habit of not talking back when someone pointed her nose in and scolded her. Besides, Jiang Lin not only scolded him, but also accused the Wang family of slighting the palace.
.
Wang Qi stood up, opened her usually squinted eyes, her eyes were cold, her little face was tense, and there was no trace of obscenity, and she said: "I can't deny the fat thing; I don't dare to respond to the stupid thing."
Everyone in the family has dabbled in reading, and has studied the Four Books and Five Classics once, so why can’t he be the companion of His Highness? My second brother Wang Jin is also one of the smartest people among the younger generation in the clan.
Grandfather repeatedly selected the two of us from the clan, and invited officials from the royal palace to come over and carefully teach my two brothers the rules before sending our brothers here. If Mr. Jiang feels that my brother is not worthy of being his companion,
Read it, and ask Mr. Jiang to come up with the accusation. Our brothers will not admit it."
Jiang Lin was choked by the prince in front of everyone, and felt that he had lost face, so he wanted to get it back with Wang Qi. Wang Qi came to the palace in the early years, and he often squeezed Wang Qi like this. Mrs. Wang, because of the princess's face,
I just advise Wang Qi to tolerate it and not to argue with it.
Therefore, he thought that this time he scolded Wang Qi, and Wang Qi could only shrink his neck and endure it.
Who would have thought that Wang Qi would dare to reply.
He stood up from his chair and glared at Wang Qi angrily: "Okay, Fatty Wang, do you dare to talk back to me?"
Wang Qi said with a cold face: "Young Master Jiang is not a king, and I am not a minister; Young Master Jiang is not honorable, and I am not humble. Why can't I respond when Young Master Jiang talks about me? In front of His Highness, Mr. Jiang calls himself 'young master'"
It’s better to change it.”
Jiang Lin was not a clever person at first. After being blocked by Wang Qi twice, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He turned to the prince and said: "Your Highness, just don't care. Let the Wang family bully us, Jiang, regardless of their superiority or inferiority."
Family? Or is it that His Highness does not distinguish between close relatives and distant relatives, feels that the Jiang family’s family status is low, and is willing to regard the concubine’s natal family as relatives?”
This sentence not only involves the Wang family and the Jiang family, but also involves Mrs. Wang and the princess.
There was already anger on the face of the prince, and he looked at Jiang Lin and said: "There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in the Wang family? Second cousin told Gu, what is wrong with what Wang Qilang said just now? Is second cousin a king or an elder?"
Jiang Lin frowned and said: "I...I am my aunt's nephew..."
The prince was too lazy to look at him again, and said calmly: "Gu has already said that in the study today, only the friendship between classmates will be discussed, regardless of superiority or inferiority. I don't know that Gu's words are so weightless. I think it comes to my second cousin's heart.
, the second cousin lives in the eldest place, and the eldest son lives alone in the young one, so he should be respected by the elder and humble by the young, that’s why he doesn’t take Gu’s words into consideration.”
When Jiang Lin heard this, he became more and more annoyed. He felt that the prince was favoring Wang Qi and was embarrassing himself in front of everyone. He snorted coldly and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to eat me. If you don't like me, I'll just leave." After that,
He overturned the chair and walked out angrily.
There was silence in the dining room, and Jiang Lin was heard yelling angrily from outside: "Get out of here!"
Then there was an "Ouch", and then Aunt Zhou's angry voice: "Young Master Ciao!"
When the others responded, the prince immediately stood up and walked out with a livid face, almost bumping into Lu Bing who came in.
Lu Bingzheng was rubbing his shoulders and baring his teeth. When the prince saw it, his face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did he hit you?"
Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I didn't pay attention when I was walking and didn't get out of the way for Brother Jiang, so I got hit."
While he was talking, he had already lowered his arms and smiled on his face, but there was still cold sweat on his forehead, obviously he had been hit hard.
The prince frowned and said in a low voice: "Is it hurt? Don't hold on, I asked someone to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you."
Lu Bing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's really not necessary. Maybe it's bruised. I can just rub it with medicinal wine at night and it will be fine."
One person came, and another was missing. The prince lost his mood due to the incident in front of him, and everyone ate honestly. It was originally a good reception banquet, but everyone lost interest in it. Only the Wang family brothers were holding bowls.
Eat with gusto.
Seeing this, the prince's originally gloomy mood relaxed a lot. He felt that Wang Qi really lived up to the saying of "a broad heart and a fat body", but what about Wang Jin?
The prince looked at the half-plate of vegetable fried cucumbers left in front of him, and then looked at the others, most of whom picked up one or two dishes in front of them and moved them. Only Chen Chizhong and Wang Jin only touched the vegetable dishes.
Except for the Wang brothers, it was the first time for the Crown Prince to meet everyone else, and there really wasn’t much to talk about. In addition, he was worried about Lu Bing’s bruises. After the banquet, the Crown Prince greeted everyone with a few polite words.
Lu Bing followed Grandma Zhou back to the inner palace.
The rest of the people also came out of Lequn Hall and went back to their respective rooms. Only Wang Qi was different. He followed Dao Chi to Dao Chi's room.
"Jiang Lin is not a generous boy. He doesn't have any kindness towards the Wang family at all. My brother originally planned to live a leisurely life, but now he can't. It's really annoying." Wang Qi entered the room and lowered his voice.
road.
Dao Chi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "I don't look like Brother Qi is annoyed when I look at him, but he is faintly happy?"
"Hahaha, I really didn't hide it from Erlang." Wang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Humph, this is what a gentleman wants to take revenge. It's not too late in ten years. That boy bullied him because he was the nephew of the princess.
How many times has it passed me? When I grew up, all the hardships I suffered were mostly due to him. I thought I would never have a chance to 'repay' in this life, but I didn't expect that I would catch up with him now."
Dao Chi rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't Seventh Brother rarely come to the palace in the past two years? Are you being bullied everywhere?"
"I haven't seen much in the past two years, but I came a lot when I was a kid... When I was six years old, he snatched my wooden horse; when I was seven years old, he snatched my sweet-scented osmanthus cake; when I was eight years old..." Wang Qi gritted her teeth.
Count Jiang Lin’s “evil deeds” one by one.
Most of them were disputes between children, and Jiang Lin was a bit too domineering.
Wang Qi pinched her waist, with a proud face on her face: "I knew that guy was so annoying, and the princess would not care about him all the time. Sure enough, she made me wait until today! It seems that I really have foresight! Ha! Ha! ha!"
The Taoist idiot asked in confusion: "How did Seventh Brother tell that the princess was tired of him?"
Wang Qi said proudly: "Even if you were not tired before, you will be tired of it after today. Your Majesty, what the Princess is doing for His Highness to choose a reading companion is just to let Your Highness train his confidants and serve as subordinate officials of the Royal Palace in the future. But Jiang Lin is making trouble at this time. , and talking back to His Highness in front of us is already a taboo. Looking at His Highness’s appearance, I have already developed a suspicion towards Jiang Lin. Today, Jiang Lin bumped into His Highness’s closest friend, Lu Bing. It’s strange that His Highness spared him... That boy's good days have come to an end, and it's a good time to add insult to injury..."

This one is from last night. I fell asleep before finishing coding last night. It’s so easy to get sleepy in the summer, and there’s no coffee at home, so I can’t stand it.
