Chapter 1395 I’m not the prince, why should I work so hard?
The next morning, when Ye Mingsheng started working as usual, his children met in the imperial garden.

Jing Cheng, who was playing with Jing Ren, Xing Tong and others, looked at Jing Xuan who was walking slowly towards him from a distance. He suddenly spoke out of his mind, not knowing what he was thinking of:
"Look! Cao Zijian is here!"

When Jing Cheng finished speaking, Jing Ren on the side showed a little displeasure, and Jing Xuan who came over also said somewhat awkwardly:

"Brother, please stop making fun of me! How can I compare to Cao Zijian?"

"Third brother is not making fun of you, third brother is actually praising you. I heard from the teacher that Cao Zijian is extremely talented, and fourth brother, you are far more talented than him, you are 120 times more talented!"

Listening to his third brother Jingcheng's words, Jingxuan didn't know what to say, and his expression became even more embarrassed for a moment.

At this time, Xing Tong on the side suddenly interrupted with some sarcasm:

"Fourth brother, you may be good at studying, but you better be careful or I'll ask you to compose a poem in seven steps!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Tong pretended to walk away, shaking his head as he walked, saying:
"When you cook beans and burn the bean pods, the beans weep in the pot."

"Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other?"

After saying that, Xing Tong turned around and looked at his brothers with some pride.

However, at this time Jing Cheng smiled and said:

"You idiot! You only took eight steps out of the seven-step poem. If you were Brother Cao Zijian, he would chop your head off..."

"Jingcheng! How dare you call me an idiot? Show me your moves!"

As Xingtong said this, he kicked Jingcheng's butt. However, Jingcheng was prepared and dodged it very nimbly. Then he made a mocking face to Xingtong and even twisted his butt and said:
"My second sister is such an idiot! She can't be hit! She can't be hit!"

Seeing this, Xing Tong became even angrier and immediately chased after Jing Cheng and started fighting with him. Jing Ren hurriedly stopped the fight and said solemnly:

"What about Cao Zijian was just a slip of the tongue. Please don't mention it anymore!"

The children all nodded when they heard this, and then Jing Cheng seemed to have thought of something, thinking about Jing Xuan's somewhat complaining speech:

"Fourth brother, everyone knows that you are good at studying. There is no need for you to show off. Last time, when I got home from the Queen's birthday party, my mother spanked me with 20 sticks and said that I was nothing but a fool compared to you. That's why she let me out to play today!"

Xing Tong also gloated over the misfortune when he heard this:
"Jingcheng, you deserve it! My mother said you are just a foodie. You actually thought of wanting a restaurant!"

Jing Cheng blushed upon hearing this, and said feebly:

"I just like delicious food, so I wanted a restaurant. But my father gave the restaurant to my mother and said he would give it to me after I come of age. It will take more than ten years for me to come of age, and by then, the restaurant will be too old!"

After saying this, Jing Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said:
"Besides, I'm not the crown prince, so why should I work so hard?"

Jingren seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know what to say. At this time, Jingxuan said seriously:
“Third brother, what you said is wrong. As the ancients said, one should be loyal to the emperor if he is paid by him. Although you are not the crown prince, we are both our father’s sons and his majesty’s subjects. We enjoy the salary of our emperor, so naturally we should share his worries and benefit the people…”

After Jingxuan finished speaking, Jingcheng was speechless and didn't know what to say, while Jingren looked at his brother with some envy. What Jingxuan said was exactly what he wanted to say just now, but while he was still formulating his words, Jingxuan had already spoken fluently.

Thinking of this, Jingren was envious and couldn't help but imagine that if he could be as quick-witted and eloquent as Jingxuan, would his mother be more satisfied with him?
While the children were talking, no one noticed that at this moment, a nanny heard the conversation, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she quietly left the imperial garden. Half an hour later, Murong Qingwu had just left the Queen Mother's palace. She was exhausted and wanted to rest for a while. She learned about the conversation of several children in the imperial garden from Ying'er, and her expression became playful.

At the same time, Ying Er also said with some emotion:
"Your Majesty, Jingxuan is so young, but he can actually say such words. It's really extraordinary!"

Murong Qingwu smiled and said:

"Indeed, he is extraordinary! But after all, he is still a child and doesn't know how to hide his shortcomings!"

"But there is a popular saying that goes, 'It's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you have to compare the goods.' Jingxuan is so outstanding that it makes the prince and Jingcheng look even more incompetent!"

“Jingcheng is fine, even if he has some ideas, he can only be powerless!”

Hearing her own queen say this, Ying Er seemed to realize something and said tentatively:

“My lady, what you mean is…”

Murong Qingwu didn't say anything when she heard this, but the smile on her face became more playful.

Seeing this, Ying Er hesitated for a moment and said:
"This Pei Zhixiu is His Majesty's favorite woman. Does she really dare to do this?"

Murong Qingwu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spoke casually:
"Who knows about such a thing?"

"But I never dare to underestimate her. This woman is worse and more cruel than you think. She can do anything if she is pushed into a corner!"

Ying Er nodded as if she understood what he said. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu changed the subject and said:
"I noticed that Xinyun hadn't come in the past few days. What was she doing at home?"

Ying Er immediately introduced:
"Your Majesty has gifted her with many rare flowers and birds, and she has been enjoying them at home these days!"

After saying this, Ying Er said with some doubt:
"Your Majesty, it is obvious that His Majesty is interested in Concubine Yun, but why doesn't he allow Concubine Yun to sleep with him?"

Murong Qingwu glanced at Ying Er and scolded with a smile:

"What do you think of His Majesty? Do you have to sleep with someone you like right away?"

Ying Er looked a little unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't know how to answer. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu said calmly:

"Your Majesty is usually very busy with official duties, and there are so many concubines in the palace, so naturally, Your Majesty cannot take care of them all!"

"In my opinion, His Majesty does not use Xinyun for lust. He seems to want to slowly cultivate feelings with Xinyun!"

Ying Er asked back in surprise:

"Your Majesty, did you say that His Majesty is cultivating a relationship with Concubine Yun?"

Faced with this question, Murong Qingwu said with some uncertainty:
"That may be the case. Who can fully guess what your majesty is thinking..."
