260 “Sexy Pampering” Chapter 259

【Emperor Chapter 11】Playing the Board

“All black and white?” The third prince, who had always been friends with the fourth prince, walked by slowly. “Everyone present saw it. It was you, the eunuch, who spilled water on Miss Yun and wetted her manuscript. Did everyone go blind?” But they didn’t mention who knocked Chu Jiao down and caused her to spill the water.

“That’s right! Something without eyes!” The culprit, Fifth Princess Jing Ya, didn’t feel at all that she was at fault. Instead, she looked like she was complaining for her friend. While wiping Yun Wan with a brocade handkerchief, she ordered, “Come here, drag her down and hit her with fifty big blows!”

“Let me see who dares!?”

Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, the red eyes covered by the mask were filled with blood, and the black pupils were full of anger, causing Jingya to take two steps back with a glare.

“What, Sixth Brother, are you going to bully Xiao Wu because of a little eunuch?” The third prince showed off his elder brother’s airs.

Chu Jiao has long been accustomed to this kind of behavior in the palace. She knows that her status this time does not allow her to be arrogant, and now is not the time for the fledgling male protagonist to act arrogantly.So she raised her head and stopped Jingchen from blurting out to her brother with a vague shake of her head and eyes.

“Forget it,” Yun Wan saw how tense the situation was and immediately said to smooth things over, “He didn’t mean it. The manuscript was destroyed, so I’ll just rewrite it.”

That being said, Yun Wan felt irritated when she thought about how long it would take her to write this thing.

She actually saw that it was Jing Ya who hit her. The eunuch just took the blame for someone else, but she could only pretend that she didn’t know who made her Jing Ya’s companion now. How could she say anything bad about her.

“Awan, you are so kind!” The fourth prince wanted to show off in front of the person he admired. He glanced sideways at Chu Jiao, looking at her as if she were an insignificant ant. “Well, since Miss Yun has interceded for you, I won’t give up on the fifty-fifty plan…”

Before Chu Jiao could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard him change his mind again: “Let’s do this, I’ll just hit twenty big boards and teach you a lesson!”

Only!?Chu Jiao mourned her butt in her heart, but she knew that this was the best result.

Before her master could speak, she had already kowtowed heavily in the direction of the fourth prince and Yun Wan, thanking her: “Thank you, Miss Yun, and thank you, fourth prince!”

Raising her head, when being dragged out by the two eunuchs for execution, she once again said two words invisibly to Jingchen, “It’s okay.”

For the high-ranking princes, this was just a trivial matter. Jingya and Yun Wan were surrounded by several princes and went to the side hall to have dinner. Yun Wan originally wanted to ask Taifu Jiang for advice, but several people said that it would not be too late to ask for advice in the afternoon, so she had to give up.

Soon, there were only two people left in the study room.

Jingchen, who lowered his head and said nothing, and Taifu Jiang, who had packed up the teaching aids in front of the desk.

Through the palace wall, one could vaguely hear the muffled sound of a wooden stick hitting the flesh, as well as the suppressed moans of pain.

“How does it feel to see someone you value being bullied in front of your eyes?”

Taifu Jiang has not spoken since just now, witnessing the whole process like a bystander. He is keenly observant and has long noticed Jingchen’s attitude towards the eunuch.

At this moment, looking at the clenched fist at the boy’s side, he was adding fuel to the fire without caring.

“He’s just a little eunuch.” Jingchen let go of his hand and hid his palms in his sleeves to cover up the blood from his palms. “What does this prince deserve to pay attention to?”

“Haha, young man,” Taifu Jiang did not expose Jingchen’s lies, but continued to talk to himself: “If you want to protect the people you care about, you must have the strength that no one dares to offend.”

Jingchen listened and his eyes moved slightly.

How could he not know this truth?In the past few years, he has worked hard, studied hard, and flattered everyone. Isn’t it because he wanted to climb to a higher place so that people would not dare to touch the people he wanted to protect?

However, the result is that he is still like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

His most important person was being dragged away and disposed of before his eyes, and he couldn’t even open his mouth to plead for her.

In the eyes of these brothers, he is still just a person who can be bullied at will!

Seeing that the young man still looked confused, Taifu Jiang couldn’t help but shake his head. This kid has this temperament and he doesn’t know who he is.

“In the past, Hanshan asked about what he had found…” He turned to use the Buddha’s greeting to enlighten him, but unexpectedly the young man continued what he had not yet said.

“What if there are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, belittle me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me?”

Jingchen recalled that when he had just entered school, the fourth prince put croton in the food as a prank. After he had vomited and had diarrhea all day long and collapsed on the bed, the little eunuch comforted him in his ear.

“Just tolerate him, let him, let him go, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, and ignore him. Stay for a few more years and you can take a look at him.”

…

“Sixth Prince, we don’t care about the annoying guy like the Fourth Prince. You see, in a few years, his temper will sooner or later die at your own hands!”

“You, a eunuch, dare to curse Fourth Brother to death!”

“Hehe, as long as the Sixth Prince is well, my slave’s life is my life!”

…

“Isn’t this right?” Taifu Jiang stroked his beard and said, “There are some things that you don’t need to worry about now.”

Jingchen understood Taifu’s good intentions, but did not agree.The consequence of not caring about it is that others will bully you even more unscrupulously!

“If I really allow others to take advantage of me just to protect myself,” he looked back at the old man, “then when I truly have the strength, the person I want to protect may no longer be there. Then what’s the point of all my efforts?”

He was just a teenager, but the words in his mouth were sonorous and powerful. After hearing this, Jiang Shan’s eyes flashed with complexity, as if he was lost in memories, his lips trembled, and after a long while, he sighed, walked up to the young man and said seriously: “I have only accepted two disciples in my life. I wonder if Your Highness, Sixth Highness, would like to be my close disciple?”

Who in the world doesn’t know Taifu Jiang’s erudition and ambition. Countless students wanted to become his apprentices, but he only accepted two of them.Jingchen was surprised, but did not agree immediately.

“Teacher Jiang should have heard about Jingchen’s situation.” He raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing the ugly other half of his face. “Jingchen’s biological mother is humble, his face is disfigured, and he is not a good person.” The implication is that he has no hope with that great man. If Taifu Jiang wants to rely on his master-disciple relationship to expect rewards in the future, it is not worth it.

The old man saw his appearance, but didn’t pay attention to it. Instead, he was dissatisfied with what Jingchen said casually: “Why, His Highness the Sixth Prince looks down on his biological mother?”

“That’s not the case,” Jingchen shook his head, “Mother gave Jingchen life, and Jingchen only has admiration and gratitude for her, but in this palace, these… no one cares about.” What everyone cares about is only identity, rights, and status.

“Oh, this palace…” Jiang Shan shook his head with a sarcastic face, but did not say anything dissatisfied. Instead, he said, “You don’t have to worry about your appearance, and you don’t need to care about your identity. I just ask you, are you willing?”

Jingchen saw the seriousness of the old man in front of him, and he also became serious, straightened his clothes, lifted his robe and knelt down, “Master, please bow to me!”

Jiang Shan stared at the boy’s hair, his eyes flashing with excitement, “Okay, okay, get up.”

“You don’t need to tell lies to Master anymore,” Jiang Shan touched his beard, took out his sleeves, took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Jingchen, “It’s not a good thing that you are showing off your sharpness now.” He was referring to the fact that today’s young people are so good that they are already an eyesore to some people.

“Master, please give me some advice!” Jingchen asked quickly.

“Before you don’t have absolute strength…sometimes, retreat is also advance.” Old God Jiang Shan patted his shoulder on the ground, and after saying that, he left the door.

Jingchen was left standing alone, with his head lowered and his eyes looking thoughtful.

Neither of them noticed that there was a moon-white skirt on the other side outside the room.

※

Jingchen suppressed the anxiety in his heart, endured it until school was over, and finally walked to Qiuxi Palace as usual. If anyone paid attention to his pace, they would find that it was a bit messy and panicked.

After Chu Jiao was beaten twenty times, she had already been carried back by two second-class eunuchs from Qiuxi Palace and thrown into the room.

Jingchen only allowed her to serve him on weekdays, so unlike other eunuchs who had to live in one room, Chu Jiao slept in an inner room at the side of the sixth prince’s dormitory.

“Sixth Prince, when Eunuch Chu came back, he drove the servants out and didn’t let the servants get close.” The two eunuchs saw Jing Chen coming back and explained quickly.

They usually serve the Sixth Prince. Although they only do chores, they can still see how close the Sixth Prince is to Chu Jiao.Now that Chu Jiao has suffered, the Sixth Prince must be worried. They are also afraid that they will be angered.

“Okay, get some hot water and put it outside. You are not allowed to come here without my order!”

Jingchen was worried that his little eunuch was thin-skinned, so he quickly waved the two of them away while he opened the curtain and entered the inner room.
