Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 151 Your Majesty, you said Zhang is becoming more and more like Lord Xiao Jiang

After hearing that Chang Ming committed suicide in prison, Xie Xu stood there motionless for a long time, and finally got up and left.

If this is his way of atonement, then so be it.

Gradually, night falls.

Near the "Huang's Paper Horse Shop", Duke Su, Duke Ying, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince... more than a dozen people including Emperor Yuan and Xie Xu were hiding quietly in the dark, staring at the paper horse shop intently.

Xie Xu was not very interested in Lord Liu's sleepwalking. He was here to protect Emperor Yuan's safety.

At this time in the Jiang family, Minister Jiang gritted his teeth and took some laxative, and was now going to the toilet.

The reason why he had to do that was because Emperor Yuan had ordered that Jiang Yueyang should not be allowed to come out and watch Lord Liu's sleepwalking.

Minister Jiang was afraid that his pretense of illness would be discovered by the system, so he cruelly gave himself some laxatives.

"Dad, how are you?" Jiang Yueyang asked worriedly.

Minister Jiang lay in bed and replied weakly, "Dad is fine, he just ate the wrong thing. My daughter, your mother is weak and your brother has to prepare for the exam, so can you stay and take care of Dad tonight?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yueyang responded, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll stay here and take care of you tonight."

Hearing this, Minister Jiang felt relieved.

At the paper horse shop, Emperor Yuan and his men waited and waited but Lord Liu never arrived.

"Why hasn't Liu Qing come yet? Have you recovered from your illness?" Emperor Yuan asked himself.

Hearing this, Xie Xu couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, is there a possibility that Lord Liu can also hear Lord Xiao Jiang's thoughts?"

Emperor Yuan: “…”

"Fuck! I forgot about this!"

Xie Xu: “…”

Invisibly, Emperor Yuan learned Jiang Yueyang's less elegant language.

The saying "Birds of a feather flock together" is indeed true!

Thinking that Lord Liu might not come, Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Then, the dozen or so people hiding here saw Lord Liu walking out of an alley.

"Holy crap! He's here!"

Xie Xu: “…”

Xie Xu said tactfully: "...Your Majesty, you are speaking more and more like Lord Xiao Jiang."

"so what?"

“Master Xiao Jiang said it in his heart, it won’t affect… Never mind, it’s all the same.”

Xie Xu originally wanted to say that Jiang Yueyang was speaking in her heart, so it wouldn't affect her image. But then he thought, since they could all hear Jiang Yueyang's inner thoughts, it would be no different from speaking them out loud.

Emperor Yuan found him puzzled, but said nothing.

His eyes followed Lord Liu all the time, and then he saw Lord Liu pick up the linen clothes and paper money at the door of the paper horse shop, then put down the silver and turned around and walked back.

"It's exactly as Jiang Yueyang said." Emperor Yuan was puzzled. "But why did he come out tonight?"

After Lord Liu returned home from get off work, he first knelt down and kowtowed to his parents to apologize, and then after nightfall he asked his servants to tie him up.

But he didn't know that even if he was tied up, he would try his best to get out.

Mr. Liu's parents once tied him to a pillar, and even though the rope cut into his flesh, he still wanted to get out.

They couldn't bear to see Lord Liu get hurt, so they untied the rope, which is why Lord Liu appeared here at this time.

It's just embarrassing, you'll get used to it after a while.

Just like them, they are used to listening to their son crying at funerals, and they can't fall asleep if they don't hear it on other days.

Emperor Yuan couldn't understand why Lord Liu came out tonight, but he didn't care.

Seeing Lord Liu walking further and further away, Emperor Yuan raised his foot to catch up with him.

Unexpectedly, he had only taken one step when he saw his two sons coming out from some corner.

A few people who originally wanted to follow Lord Liu withdrew their feet in hatred when they saw the Third Prince and his men.

Emperor Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "These two brats are out wandering around in the middle of the night, it seems their studies are too easy!"

Xie Xu: ...Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at what you are doing?

The third prince and the fifth prince walked on Lord Liu's left and right, and the fifth prince even waved his hand in front of Lord Liu.

"Third brother, he didn't react at all."

"Be quiet, don't wake him up, or someone could die."

The Fifth Prince immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Third Brother, are we really going to go to the Liu family with him? Isn't this a bad idea?"

"It's okay, we're not the only ones."

Upon hearing this, Duke Ying and Su Guo came out, but the others did not have the courage.

When the fifth prince saw the two of them, his mouth opened in surprise.

In order to maintain his imperial image, Emperor Yuan could only leave angrily.

"Go back to the palace!"

Not long after, the four followed them to the door of Liu's house.

After thinking about it, they did not follow in, but climbed up the wall to watch.

After a while, they heard the sound of Lord Liu crying, and saw Lord Liu's parents standing by and watching with a look of common sense.

The Third Prince said, "Duke Yingguo, the palace gates are closed. My fifth brother and I will stay at the Duke Yingguo's mansion for one night."

Duke of England: "...Did Your Highnesses intend to live in my house from the beginning?"

"Otherwise?"

"If I hadn't come..."

"Impossible." The Third Prince vowed, "With your character, Duke Ying, who is willing to risk your life just to eat melons, there's no way you'd miss such a good opportunity."

British Duke: “…”

***

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the autumn hunt. Three carriages gradually stopped outside the Jiang family's gate.

Gu Ruo, Wen Shuyan and Qiao Xi got out of their respective carriages. Qiao Xi also brought her twin sister Qiao Yuanyuan.

Although they look the same, they are easy to tell apart because they exude completely different auras.

Qiao Yuanyuan is cautious in everything she does.

After a while, Jiang Yueyang came out.

She was wearing a goose yellow long dress, which made her clear eyes look even more lively and playful.

The pear blossom hairpin in her hair is particularly exquisite. In the reflection of the sunlight, it looks like a blooming pear blossom.

"Gu Ruo, Shu Yan, Sister Qiao." Jiang Yueyang called out to the three of them in turn with a smile on her face.

The three of them smiled and waved at her, "Yue Yang."

When Jiang Yueyang walked up to the three of them, Qiao Xi took the lead in introducing her sister to her.

Gu Ruo glanced towards the Jiang family's gate and couldn't help but ask, "Yue Yang, are you alone?"

"Yes, my parents thought I was taking my time, so they took the initiative." Jiang Yueyang answered casually.

Hearing this, Gu Ruo hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Wen Shuyan chuckled and said, "Yue Yang, don't you have an older brother? Isn't he going to the autumn hunt?"

"go."

"Did Young Master Jiang go there first with Minister Jiang?"

"No, my brother is waiting for me."

Speak of the devil, and here he is. Jiang Xun walked out just as Jiang Yueyang finished speaking.

He came up to the group, bowed, and said, "Ladies, I'm honored to meet you."

Gu Ruo and the other three knelt and saluted in return, "Master Jiang, thank you for your courtesy."

It was not until then that Jiang Yueyang realized that Gu Ruo's behavior and tone today were a little awkward.

For this reason, she couldn't help but turn her head and asked Wen Shuyan in confusion: "Why do I feel that Gu Ruo is acting strangely today?"

Hearing this, Wen Shuyan smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Afterwards, Jiang Yueyang looked back and forth between her brother and the shy Gu Ruo.

It turned out that after the autumn hunting time was announced, Gu Ruo and the others went to the suburbs to practice horse riding and archery.

Her brother also went to the suburbs with some classmates yesterday to relax, saying that it was to relieve the pressure of the imperial examination.

Then, Gu Ruo accidentally fell off the horse and was rescued by her brother.

Judging from Gu Ruo's expression, I'm afraid she has already fallen in love with him.
