Chapter 259 The Crown Prince as a Model
[It seems the old emperor is overthinking things; the crown prince doesn't seem like it.]
Instead of worrying about the Crown Prince getting some kind of elixir of immortality, it would be better to encourage him and his wife to have a few more children. The current Crown Prince isn't very capable.
If Shen Zhiyi said it wasn't very good, then it really wasn't very good.
The crown prince wasn't angry.
He knew all too well what kind of person his eldest son was.
[Sigh, my own father is lying in a hospital bed, what is that Crown Prince doing?]
The Crown Prince has been busy with state affairs lately, so he hasn't paid much attention to his son for a long time.
So, where did the other person go?
[Haha, the Crown Prince recently met a foreigner.]
Neither the old emperor nor the crown prince paid much attention to it.
I just know a foreigner; he just speaks some incomprehensible gibberish.
[Hehe, this foreigner also comes from the far west, which is the same place as that Hippo Country, right?]
In the past, most of those who came to the Eastern Lands were from nearby countries in the Western Regions, but now more people from even more distant countries are coming.
[At first, the Crown Prince just kept pestering the other party to learn that foreign language. Tsk, what's so great about learning that stuff? You don't need to take any CET-4 or CET-6 exams, why bother learning it?]
Shen Zhiyi's head buzzed whenever she saw English.
Although she passed the CET-4 and CET-6 exams without any preparation and is very talented in languages, she just doesn't have much interest in them and subconsciously frowns every time she sees them.
The old emperor and the crown prince didn't understand anything about the CET-4 and CET-6 exams.
But they also felt it was pointless to learn gibberish.
The right way is to let those who speak gibberish learn their own language.
[Ha, I never expected our love-struck Crown Prince to be so studious. He hasn't even mastered bird language yet, and he's already starting to learn new things.]
The prince sighed slightly at the inconsistency in his work.
He was already ill, and now he's become even more sentimental.
That foreigner is a sculptor, so our Crown Prince is going to start by being his model.
Up to this point, no one felt that anything was wrong.
But soon, Shen Zhiyi burst into laughter.
Everyone immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The crown prince even sat up straight in bed.
He held the old emperor's hand tightly.
"Father, I feel something is wrong with this."
"Don't worry, don't worry, at worst you'll lose your cleavage. Why don't you and the Crown Princess have a few more babies?"
“Father is right, that’s exactly what I was planning.”
[The Crown Prince is so naive! He didn't expect that foreigner was doing *that* kind of work—nude sculpture.]
[System, look, the Crown Prince was initially unwilling, but later became very willing.]
[Hilarious, he's lifting weights naked right now.]
The old emperor and the crown prince were both furious.
Unbeknownst to them, the Crown Prince's innocence had already been compromised.
"You should rest well. I'll handle this matter."
The crown prince turned to look at his father.
I always feel like his father was just there to watch the show.
Watching the group leave, the Crown Prince, still uneasy, sent a message to his Crown Princess.
At this moment, the Crown Princess was playing chess with the Crown Prince's concubine in the Eastern Palace.
The two have recently become obsessed with this.
After receiving the message from the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess didn't pay much attention. While playing chess, she said to the palace maid, "Read it."
The palace maid opened the letter and began to read it aloud, word by word.
She spoke for a while, and then the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine would exchange words.
"The Crown Prince is referring to the Imperial Grandson."
The Crown Princess nodded perfunctorily: "I haven't seen him much lately. The Crown Prince probably wants to ask about his studies."
The palace maid continued reading.
The Crown Prince's Consort: "Has the Imperial Grandson recently made friends with a foreigner?"
The Crown Princess continued nodding, seemingly unconcerned.
“Xian’er mentioned this before. He said the foreigner had blond hair and blue eyes and looked neither human nor ghost.”
The palace maid continued reading.
Consort of the Crown Prince: "It seems the Imperial Grandson's innocence is in jeopardy?"
The Crown Princess softly replied, "Oh."
After a while.
"what!!!"
"Who wants to harm my Xian'er? That inhuman foreigner?"
*
When the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine arrived, they saw the scene and wished they could gouge their own eyes out.
In the courtyard where the Crown Prince was staying, all irrelevant people were sent away.
There was only one personal eunuch and a foreigner carving something inside.
The foreigner had obviously been in Daye for a long time, as he could speak the Daye dialect.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes, if possible, I hope the Crown Prince can put a little more effort into his arm."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince increased his strength and showed off his biceps.
"How about it?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's right, very good."
—What a load of rubbish.
The Crown Princess was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to go in when she was stopped.
Before his anger could even surface, his expression changed drastically upon recognizing the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
The old emperor looked at the scene in the courtyard and stroked his beard.
"I never would have guessed! Xian'er has such muscles. It would be a shame not to send him to the army."
[Hooray! The Crown Prince's good days are over!]
Shen Zhiyi was very gloating, enjoying the spectacle.
The Crown Prince, who was showing off his biceps inside, shuddered upon hearing Shen Zhiyi's voice.
Holy crap, the living devil is back!
Didn't she go south with her grandfather? How come she's back?!
The Crown Prince turned his head and saw a group of people.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah."
"The clothes, where are the clothes?"
The old emperor looked at his bouncy grandson and felt increasingly...
"Why didn't I think of that sooner? I should have sent Xian'er to the military camp sooner."
The Crown Princess could no longer smile.
"Your Majesty, this is not a good idea."
She's already lost one daughter; she can't lose another.
"What's wrong with it? I think it's excellent."
The old emperor had no intention of truly giving up on this grandson.
If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the next one will most likely be the imperial grandson.
He's become too impulsive these days, showing no signs of growing up.
"Alas, I am destined to be a worrier all my life."
That's true. When young, he worries about his father; in middle age, he worries about his son; in old age, he worries about his grandson. He's a busy old emperor his whole life.
"Grandpa, this won't do."
The Crown Prince slid to his knees and hugged the old emperor's leg.
"Grandfather, how can your grandson, with such delicate skin, go to a place like a military camp?"
"No no no."
The accent he used was clearly that of the foreigner.
"If the Crown Prince were to join the army, he would only become more agile. I strongly recommend that the Crown Prince join the army."
The Crown Prince released the old emperor's leg and started arguing with the foreigner.
It's nothing more than cursing that foreigner for being heartless.
