Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Shi Yunjing laughed lightly: "As the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first, and Brother Four really should come earlier in the future."

These words were not polite, Shi Yunjue's complexion changed slightly, he sneered and said, "Look at Sixth Brother's complexion is not good today, did you stay late because of the twenty times of "Nine Chapters" yesterday?"

Shi Yunjing was not to be outdone: "Exactly. But Brother Huang rests at sunset every day, why is he looking so pale now?"

The attendants following Shi Yunjing all lowered their heads and secretly smiled, even Lu Zheyu couldn't help but smile.Shi Yunjue couldn't hold back his face even more, and he had already started to become angry from embarrassment: "You are so good at talking, why did you get punished so severely by your husband for a careless act?"

"It's just twenty times of "Nine Chapters". Brother Yichen said that the fourth brother should have copied it a few more times. After all, I remember that when my husband taught "Zhushu" last year, the fourth brother memorized two chapters. Yue only learned it, does my brother remember correctly?" Shi Yunjing smiled.

Shi Yunjue was anxious and angry, but he couldn't.Shi Yunjing was the least hardworking among the princes. He was late for class and slept in class. Except for barely respecting the old prince, the other gentlemen almost never wrote their homework. However, it happened that he was still among all the princes. The most gifted and intelligent one can remember everything he has learned since childhood, and he can never forget it after reading it once. Even he, the elder brother, is ashamed of himself.Ye Hanshan, the governor of the imperial army, taught him martial arts, and Yu Bingfeng, the minister of the Ministry of war, taught him the art of war. No matter whether it is literature or martial arts, strategy or literary talent, he is not as good as Shi Yunjing.

The only thing comparable to Shi Yunjing may be the favor of Emperor Cheng'an... But he didn't dare to move Emperor Cheng'an out at this time, just to enjoy his mouth.

The crowd listened to the two princes mocking each other openly and secretly (actually, His Royal Highness was being ridiculed unilaterally), and none of them dared to intervene.But Lu Zheyu has a sense of proportion in his heart.He had thought that day that Shi Yunjing's ability to live peacefully until the age of 16 was mostly due to the protection of the Xiao family and his bloodline, and Shi Yunjue's city was able to sit on an equal footing with Shi Yunjing in the court. Thanks also to Emperor Cheng'an's favor.Although Shi Yunjing is a dude, he is gifted and quick-witted, calm in situations and able to take care of himself. If Shi Yunjue is without Emperor Cheng'an, he will not be Shi Yunjing's opponent at all.

"If Brother Four has nothing else to do, I will take the first step." Shi Yunjing didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and went straight into Yinghua Hall.Shi Yunjue was really aggrieved, and stepped forward to grab his arm.

"Stop! This king is your brother after all, do you still have dignity in your eyes?!"

Shi Yunjing sneered, she couldn't win the battle of words, even brought out the superiority?Lu Zheyu also felt it was funny, in terms of superiority and inferiority, Shi Yunjue's biological mother was originally a side concubine, while Shi Yunjing's biological mother was the Empress of the Central Palace, who was the original spouse of Emperor Cheng'an when he was still in the hidden residence.Empress Wende only gave birth to one prince, and in terms of her dignity, not only Shi Yunjue, but any prince in the palace is not as noble as Shi Yunjing.

However, when thinking of his biological mother, Shi Yunjing inevitably felt sour, his expression was gloomy, and he was too lazy to argue with Shi Yunjue.He was about to ignore it and walk over, when Shi Yunjue lost face, how could he let him go?

Lu Zheyu was just trying to persuade him to fight, he thought that if the matter really got serious, and it came to Emperor Cheng'an, Shi Yunjing might not take advantage of it, but at this moment, Old Prince De came over, which was just right for Lu Zheyu In my heart, there is no need for him to come forward to persuade the fight.

Undoubtedly, Prince De scolded the two of them sharply, and the farce finally came to an end.

After the class was over, Prince De left Shi Yunjing alone.Lu Zheyu knew it was because of the twenty times of "Nine Chapters" yesterday, so he went to wait outside the hall.

When Shi Yunjing presented the thick stack of rice paper, Old Prince De flipped through it and glanced at him: "Let's find someone to write it for me."

Shi Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, Lu Zheyu's imitated handwriting could not be seen even by him, so how did the old prince see it?

Old Prince De could easily see what he was thinking: "Some are messy and scribbled, while some are fresh and elegant, pleasing to the eye, and they definitely did not come from your hands."

Couldn't it be that the handwriting was scribbled because I got tired of copying the road at the end?However, the facts were so, Shi Yunjing lowered her head and said nothing, so it was acquiesced.

"It belongs to Mr. Lu?"

Shi Yunjing nodded silently.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. Next time, you will go back to the palace with the old man, and the old man will watch you write."

"...Understood." Shi Yunjing whispered.

Old Prince De's expression softened a little, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "When His Majesty has established a crown prince and the East Palace has a new owner, I don't have to worry so much."

Hearing this, Shi Yunjing was slightly taken aback.The old prince De's words were obviously not difficult to understand, but when he heard it, there was clearly something wrong with the words.What exactly do these words mean?Although the court is divided into four princes and six princes, the old prince De, who has never participated in government affairs, has never liked party politics.

Could it be... Shi Yunjing hesitated, he didn't speculate any further, but he couldn't ask, so he nodded and agreed first, before Old Prince De let him go.

On the way back, Shi Yunjing didn't take the sedan chair, so a group of people accompanied him along the path by the lake to Mingluan Hall.Lu Zheyu always looks at him as if he has something on his mind, which is not like his usual style.When Yunjing crossed the bridge and continued to walk forward, Lu Zheyu stopped and said softly, "Your Highness."

Shi Yunjing stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

Lu Zheyu pointed with his left hand: "Go this way."

Only then did Shi Yunjing realize that he had gone in the wrong direction of Huiming Luan Hall, and then turned around and walked towards the path on the left.

After a while, Lu Zheyu said: "What's on your mind, Your Highness?"

Shi Yunjing didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Zheyu thought about it, he definitely wouldn't feel unhappy because of the little quarrel with Shi Yunjue this morning, other than that, the only thing left...

"But what did the old prince De say to His Highness?"

After a long while, Shi Yunjing finally said calmly: "Lu Zheyu, can this king trust you?"

Lu Zheyu thought for a while: "This is not something I can draw conclusions from, His Highness still decides on his own."

Shi Yunjing glanced at him, and cursed him inwardly.

Lu Zheyu resented, and added: "It would be a great honor for me to gain His Highness's trust."

After getting along these few days, Shi Yunjing felt that Chen Guolai's proton had no bad intentions, so he turned around and said to the followers behind him, "There's no need to follow."

The entourage stopped, and only after the two of them had gone far away did they follow the master far away.

Lu Zheyu knew what he wanted to say to him, and it was relatively important, so she walked quietly beside him, waiting for him to speak.Shi Yunjing exhaled slowly, and told him everything that the old prince De had just said to him in Yinghua Palace.

Lu Zheyu smiled lightly: "Then next time I scribble a little more with a pen, maybe I won't be recognized."

Shi Yunjing squinted at him: "Is this the point?"

"Isn't that the point? After all, I suspect that there will be more things to write for His Highness in the future."

Shi Yunjing frowned: "If you don't want to write, I won't need you in the future."

Lu Zheyu knew that he was troubled in his heart, so he stopped joking when he clicked to the end, and thought for a while and said: "The old prince De is highly respected in the court. Although he clearly does not participate in any party politics, he is also a member of the Shi family after all. This matter is related to the country and the country, no one can hold it high, and he is the same."

"So he is..." Shi Yunjing hesitated.

Lu Zheyu simply continued his words: "Tell Your Highness clearly that he is on your side."

Shi Yunjing Xu had already guessed this result, her expression remained unchanged.

"What about Your Highness? What do you think?"

Shi Yunjing was silent for a moment. "This king doesn't want to be a prince."

Lu Zheyu raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness wants to hand over the position of the East Palace to His Highness Fourth?"

Shi Yunjing glanced sideways at him: "Are you starting to inquire about the royal family's secrets again?"

"..."

Just now I was asking if I could trust him, but now it seems... I don't trust him completely.Perhaps this is the temperament of His Highness the Sixth Highness. He is always there when he needs it, and throws it aside when he doesn't need it. He forgets the fish when he catches the fish and hides the bird when the bow is gone. His Highness interpreted these two idioms perfectly. vividly.

"Forget it, Your Highness has something in his heart, so I won't bother you anymore." Lu Zheyu looked polite as a courtier.

Shi Yunjing walked away with a flick of his sleeves.This Lu Zheyu can only say things that make him hate.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Zheyu went to Changqiu Hall to look for Yan Lingjun.The hall is not a place to talk, so the two went to the imperial garden together.The sun sets on the western mountain, and the valleys are already dark.There was no one in the Imperial Garden at this time, so there was no need to worry about someone eavesdropping.

Yan Lingjun listened to Lu Zheyu's words, thought for a moment, and said as he walked: "So you mean, Old Prince De has definitely sided with His Highness the Sixth Highness?"

Lu Zheyu nodded: "That's right. Lord De is the most respected person in the Chu family's clan, and his position will affect many people in the court."

"But the emperor wants Shi Yunjue to succeed him more. Even if the people in the court object, the courtiers will not be able to if the emperor insists on going his own way." Yan Lingjun said indifferently.

Lu Zheyu turned his head and glanced at him: "So, does the emperor know what the old prince De is thinking?"

Yan Lingjun thought for a moment, and said: "I can't guess. But the emperor has never made Yun Jue his heir immediately, there must be a reason for the clan."

Lu Zheyu nodded. "The clan definitely hopes that Shi Yunjing will be in charge of the East Palace, and the emperor knows this very well."

Yan Lingjun said slowly: "In terms of character, given time, Shi Yunjing is indeed expected to become a generation of Mingjun."

Lu Zheyu was silent for a moment, but did not answer immediately.In fact, whether the future monarch of Chu State is wise or not has nothing to do with the two of them.Now that they are in the land of Chu, they don't know when they will return. Whether it is Shi Yunjue or Shi Yunjing, what they want is a monarch who is beneficial to Chen Guo.

Is Shi Yunjing the most suitable person for them?
