HCB Chapter 260: Useless at everything, but number one in eating, drinking, and relieving himself.
Chapter 260: Useless at everything, but number one in eating, drinking, and relieving himself.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the princess is gone, and now the Crown Prince is leaving too. Does that mean the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will be left behind as parents?]
The Crown Princess was heartbroken upon hearing this.
Perfect timing! Time to get busy making babies.
Princess:...
No matter how much the Crown Princess pleaded, the old emperor was already determined to send his grandson to the military camp.
In the end, the Crown Princess simply risked being infected to see the Crown Prince.
Seeing that the Crown Princess was not wearing a face mask, the Crown Prince frowned and said, "Why aren't you wearing one?"
"It's nothing, just like a common cold."
"What's wrong? You look unhappy."
The Crown Princess sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling dejected.
"Your father, that is, His Majesty, wants to send Xian'er to the military camp."
The crown prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
"What good news? People will die."
"Didn't my daughter go too?"
Upon hearing the Crown Prince mention his daughter, the Crown Princess burst into tears.
"Don't cry, you were the one who encouraged her to go."
"What can I do? My daughter is ambitious, and I, as her mother, can't stop her, can I? But what about Xian'er?"
The Crown Princess slapped her thigh and said, "As her mother, I'll be frank: Xian'er is only good at eating and waiting to die. He's useless at everything except eating, drinking, and relieving himself."
[Hahahaha, this is my real mother, this is definitely my real mother.]
Upon hearing this laughter, the old emperor, who was handling state affairs in the Zichen Palace, put down what he was doing and listened carefully.
Who is Shen Zhiyi looking at so happily?
[I never expected the Crown Princess to see her son like this. He's useless at everything, but he's number one in eating, drinking, and relieving himself, haha.]
The old emperor: ……
After the Crown Princess spoke, she felt incredibly relieved.
These words came out as if a box had been opened.
"Let me make this clear first, it's not that I didn't teach him properly, nor that the teachers were inattentive, it's just that..."
"I just don't understand it either. There's such a simple big character right there, and he insists that it makes him dizzy and that his handwriting is as ugly as yours."
The crown prince remained silent, not daring to speak.
The old emperor didn't dare to speak much either.
"Poetry, lyrics, and prose? He's not proficient in any of them. No, he hasn't even scratched the surface of any of them. He's completely clueless."
The crown prince remained silent, not daring to speak.
The old emperor turned his head away. Shen Zhiyi, could you please stop repeating yourself?
"And what about the Four Books and Five Classics? Those books are all brand new and displayed in his study. I asked him before why he didn't read them, and he said he could barely recognize the characters, but when they were put together, he didn't know what they were saying."
"Even if the teacher explained it to him, it was no use. He would sleep soundly under the covers at night and forget everything when he woke up the next day."
Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore.
Shen Zhiyi's stomach hurt from trying so hard to suppress her laughter.
I don't know why, but I always feel that the Crown Princess's words are also very suitable for criticizing the old emperor and the crown prince.
The old emperor: He doesn't admit it.
Crown Prince: Hmm, why does it feel like my wife is scolding me too?
"so."
The Crown Princess said with great concern, "How can Xian'er be suited to be emperor after you die with such a character?"
"Cough cough cough."
"I... I'm not dead yet."
"Sooner or later."
The Crown Princess sat up straight and continued, "I understand, I understand. His Majesty sent Xian'er to the military camp because he didn't want to give up on him, but that's on the premise that Xian'er also has that ambition and is a good prospect."
The Crown Prince deliberately put on a stern face and said, "It's fine for you to say these things to me, but if Xian'er heard his mother say such things about him, he would definitely feel bad."
[If the Crown Princess's words could dissuade the old emperor from sending him to the military camp, he might even wish she would say more. Honestly, he might as well just let the princess become empress.]
"Cough cough cough cough."
The old emperor couldn't help but cough several times.
[Wait, could the old emperor have caught something? Oh no, I'm doomed! But speaking of which, if I just catch a cold, can I take a vacation?]
Shen Zhiyi initially hoped that the old emperor would catch the virus, but unexpectedly, although the old emperor was old, he was in good health.
Not only did he not catch a cold, he was also able to stay up for several nights in a row.
*
By the time the plague had almost passed, it was already midsummer.
The weather is extremely hot.
Shen Zhiyi had a day off today, but she didn't sleep in; she woke up very early.
"Damn, it's so hot!"
"Shen Lang, come, have some mung bean soup. It's been sitting in the well water overnight, so it's cold."
Upon hearing Aunt Cheng's voice, Shen Zhiyi finished washing up and immediately took a big gulp of water to cool off.
"Aunt Cheng, we want some too."
Aunt Cheng's lips, which had just turned up in a smile, immediately disappeared when she saw An Qi and An Jiu.
"Don't you two have hands? Go get it yourselves."
An Jiu grabbed An Qi's wrist and whispered, "I'll go."
Ugh, the stench of romance!
Anqi and Anjiu blushed instantly.
[As expected, the ambiguous stage of a young couple's relationship is the most captivating. Tsk tsk tsk, those two even had an accidental kiss last night. What a coincidence! Anqi turned around and just happened to kiss Anjiu on the lips.]
An Qi's eyes widened.
Isn't this just a coincidence?
[Oh dear, men! They deliberately bend over, deliberately pout, and then, as soon as An Qi turns her head, they lean in.]
An Qi raised her eyebrows and turned to look at An Jiu, who was serving mung bean soup.
The other person's ear tips were still red, but their expression was both shy and guilty.
"Humph."
After glaring at An Jiu, An Qi decided not to speak to him for the entire day.
"Shen Lang, the Eighth Princess sent a visiting card today."
"Oh? She's coming over."
It's been a long time since Shen Zhiyi has seen the Eighth Princess; it seems she's taken a fancy to a new man.
However, this man was not as easy to pursue as before, and it took the Eighth Princess quite a bit of her time.
Thinking about Princess Ba coming today, Shen Zhiyi started thinking about what delicious food to make.
She resolutely denied that she wanted to eat it herself.
Before the menu was even finalized, the Eighth Princess arrived, crying and sobbing.
Shen Zhiyi was completely stunned.
"Waaah, Shen Lang."
The Eighth Princess threw herself into Shen Zhiyi's arms.
"Why are you crying?"
[System, system, please help me see who's been bullying the Eighth Princess lately?]
The system is so buggy that no matter how many times you try to fix it, you can't get it fixed. The whole system is just numb.
He desperately needed to find a sense of accomplishment, so he quickly summarized for Shen Zhiyi the recent actions of the Eighth Princess.
[Host, are you sure the Eighth Princess can be bullied?]
Ever since the Eighth Princess insisted on going on a southern tour with the old emperor, her status and position have truly risen dramatically, instantly replacing the Sixth Princess's position and becoming the most favored princess.
