Tough Princess : Once Upon A Brothel Chapter 43

Chushi Weiyang had nothing to do in the palace. Because of his mother, the Emperor rarely cared about him. But he liked to study military books since he was a child and had some insights into the current situation. However, it was useless. Who would believe what he said was true?

Some time ago, Chushi Weiyang had nothing to do. He met Honored Consort Li, who had just returned from the Emperor. And he accidentally b.u.mped into a maid. It was a common thing, but this maid held the jade bracelet that the Emperor had just given to Honored Consort Li, and the jade bracelet broke.

“Whose maid is it? You don't walk well with things in hand. You just b.u.mped into me.” Chushi Weiyang roared.

The maid was trembling with fear, not by the Sixth Prince, but by the jade bracelet, which was just rewarded by the Emperor to Honored Consort Li. And now, the jade bracelet was broken in her hand, she would be severely beaten or even would lose her life.

Hearing the voice, Honored Consort Li stopped and walked over, “What's going on?”

“Please forgive me, Your Highness. It was the Sixth Prince who b.u.mped into me, so the jade bracelet was broken.” The maid hastened to kneel, bowed her head, and said in a low voice.

Chushi Weiyang, on the side, laughed, “You don't look at the road, but blame it on me.”

Honored Consort Li saw the broken jade bracelet, which was also favored by Honored Consort Qian. Now the Emperor rewarded it to her, and she had not shown off yet, but it was broken.

At the thought of this, her eyes were anxious to eat Chushi Weiyang. She turned around and went to the Emperor. Needless to think, she must complain about it.

After seeing the Emperor, Honored Consort Li cried miserably.

Seeing this, Chushi Youtian asked, “What happened?”

“Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for me!” Honored Consort Li said with a sob.

Chushi Youtian frowned slightly, “For what? Tell me.”

“Your Majesty, the jade bracelet that you just rewarded me was broken by the Sixth Prince.” Honored Consort Li said the reason. She also glanced at Chushi Youtian occasionally.

Hearing that it was the Sixth Prince, Chushi Youtian looked slightly angry, “Bring the Sixth Prince to here.”

Chushi Weiyang knew that he would be summoned, so he just waited nearby. As he expected….

“I don't know that father summoned me for what?” Chushi Weiyang asked with a puzzled expression.

Chushi Youtian pressed his voice and said, “Since the Sixth Prince doesn't know what happened, and then I will tell you. From this day onwards, you are grounded. Don't let me see you for one month.”

“I'll follow the order. If there is nothing else, I'll go back first.” Chushi Weiyang replied softly, not even asking the reason.

Seeing this, Honored Consort Li, on the side, showed a slight smile on her face.

Now, he had just finished his confinement and then sneaked out of the palace again.

The reason why Chushi Weiyang had a good relationship with Shuo Ling had to start from one thing when he was a child….

That day, all the princes were playing together, viewing lotus flowers. Somehow, the Crown Prince suddenly fell into the water. All the princes insisted that it was Chushi Weiyang did. At that time, Chushi Weiyang was a child, and how could he argue with those princes? The Emperor was furious after knowing this. He ordered to punish Chushi Weiyang.

Chushi Weiyang had been yelling on the side, “Father, I didn't push him. I didn't.”

Chushi Youtian was furious, so he just ignored and watched it on the side.

Seeing that the voice of Chushi Weiyang became lower, Shuo Ling, who stood behind him, suddenly knelt in front of Chushi Youtian.

“Your Majesty, please forgive the Sixth Prince. He is just a child. How could he push the Crown Prince in an instant?” Shuo Ling a.n.a.lyzed.

Hearing Shuo Ling's words, Chushi Youtian felt that it made sense. The Crown Prince was a teenager, but the Sixth Prince was just a child. If he wanted to push the Crown Prince, how could the Crown Prince not know? Thinking of this, the Emperor waved to stop.

Later, he added, “Go and get the imperial physician to make a good diagnosis for the Sixth Prince.”

After saying that, he got up and left.

At that time, Chushi Weiyang, who had lost his mind, would always remember that when he was about to die, it was the young man in front of him who begged for him and saved his life. He decided in his heart that he would be friends with this man in the future.

After he had recovered, Chushi Weiyang knew that the man who saved his life was Shuo Ling. His father was sacrificed in the battle, and his mother followed to die. Because the Emperor reminded his father's contribution, he let Shuo Ling live in the palace and return to the mansion of Marquis when he was an adult.

But on the whole, Shuo Ling had a similar life experience with him. Although he had an emperor father, there was no difference. So he was close to Shuo Ling on purpose, and the two became familiar with each other.

Chushi Weiyang would often talk with Shuo Ling about the current situation in the palace. Later, Shuo Ling felt that Chushi Weiyang was young, but he was very insightful. So, he would also a.n.a.lyze some of his own things with Chushi Weiyang. In this way, Chushi Weiyang regarded Shuo Ling as his eldest brother.

Seeing that Shuo Ling ignored him, Chushi Weiyang felt bored and turned his target to Qiao Shu, who was on the side.

Qiao Shu had met the Sixth Prince before. Seeing that Chushi Weiyang was talking to her, she had spoken to him out of respect.

The three people headed towards the city gate…

At this time, Yang Zijin had just come out of the shop. She planned to ask Xian to find another accountant so that Xian would be easier. When she was thinking about it, she just b.u.mped into Shuo Ling in front.

Yang Zijin looked up quickly and saw that it was Shuo Ling. She didn't know how to break the silence.

On the side, Chushi Weiyang said, “Oops! That's my Marquis Shuo. Even a man can't help but throw himself on you.”

At this time, Shuo Ling looked at Chushi Weiyang with chilling eyes. Chushi Weiyang knew that he had said the wrong thing. So, he was busy covering his mouth with his hand and looked at the side.

Shuo Ling thought that he had to find a time to break the deadlock. Since he knew how he felt about Yang Zijin, he could let Yang Zijin need him gradually.

When he thought of this, the cold light in Shuo Ling's eyes dissipated. He calmly asked Yang Zijin, “If Master Yang is free at this time, why don't you go with us to Qijing Temple!”

Yang Zijin was in embarra.s.sment and nodded instinctively. She thought that if she rejected Shuo Ling's invitation again, it would make the awkward atmosphere stranger.

When Qiao Shu saw that Shuo Ling invited Yang Zijin, she was jealous again. Her hands in her sleeves had already clenched into fists. But she was still said with a smile, “It's getting late. Let's go quickly!”

The four people walked out of the city gate and headed towards Qijing Temple.

Everyone had their own thoughts…

Chushi Weiyang glanced at Yang Zijin. Shuo Ling, who was fearsome, invited him on the street.

Just now, he saw that Shuo Ling's eyes looking at Yang Zijin was totally different from before. He also called him Master Yang. Was he the male pet of Marquis Shuo, who was discussed in the city previously?

Thinking of this, Chushi Weiyang was more interested. There were only a few people who could be favored by Marquis Shuo and let alone men. So, he couldn't help but be curious about this Master Yang.

Chushi Weiyang walked quickly to Yang Zijin and asked, “Master Yang, do you have any ideas on what to pray at the temple? It's said that this Qijing Temple is very efficacious!”

“I haven't thought it over yet. I just want to pray a booming business.” Yang Zijin thought for a moment and said.

Then Yang Zijin asked Chushi Weiyang, “What do you want to pray?”

“I'm going to pray for marriage. I want to see where my future wife is. Why doesn't Master Yang pray for marriage too?” Chushi Weiyang said excitedly.

Yang Zijin replied, “You must be joking, Master. I'm a businessman and always put business first. I don't pay much attention to marriage. Just let nature take its course.”

“Don't call me master, Weiyang is enough.” Chushi Weiyang said.

Yang Zijin smiled and nodded.

Chushi Weiyang continued to ask, “Then what kind of business does Master Yang do? I'll go to support you some other day.”

“Eh… this… I'm afraid that it's not quite suitable for you.” Yang Zijin said somewhat uneasily.

Hearing Yang Zijin said this, Chushi Weiyang looked at Yang Zijin with a puzzled look, “Why?”

“This is a shop for women.” Yang Zijin explained to Chushi Weiyang.

…

The two people chatted happily as they walked along. When it came to the excitement, Chushi Weiyang hooked Yang Zijin's neck with his hand.

Chushi Weiyang was very pleased with Yang Zijin's way of doing business. He felt it was too late to meet Yang Zijin, who knew how to consider the situation as well as he did.

On the side, Shuo Ling was awkward. This Chushi Weiyang was so wordy today. He even put his hand on Yang Zijin. Shuo Ling looked at Chushi Weiyang with cold eyes, but the two people didn't see it.

However, Qiao Shu thought about how to separate those two people with them, because they were not in her plan.

When they arrived at the entrance of Qijing Temple, Chushi Weiyang tidied up his clothes and stopped talking.

The four people entered the courtyard, Mo Li carrying pastries behind them. Several people followed Shuo Ling to the room where his mother's tablet was placed.

Shuo Ling took the basket in Mo Li's hand and placed the pastries and fruits in front of the memorial tablet one by one. He knelt and kowtowed three times. Then he got up, lit incense, and walked aside.

At this time, Qiao Shu also went forward to kowtow.

Chushi Weiyang and Yang Zijin obviously didn't know that today was the memorial day for Shuo Ling's mother. No wonder Shuo Ling and Qiao Shu dressed so plain today.

Only to see Chushi Weiyang and Yang Zijin changed their behaviors, and they also kowtowed forward.

The atmosphere was still oppressive when they came out. Chushi Weiyang took the lead in breaking the atmosphere. He said to Shuo Ling, “Marquis Shuo, do you want to pray? It is very efficacious in Qijing Temple.”

Seeing that Shuo Ling ignored him, he went over and took Yang Zijin's hand and said, “Then, you accompany me to pray, Master Yang.”

At this moment, Shuo Ling saw Chushi Weiyang holding the hand of Yang Zijin. His eyes were eager to kill him.

Yang Zijin wanted to reject him. But when she saw the pleading eyes of Chushi Weiyang, she nodded helplessly.

Seeing that Yang Zijin agreed, Chushi Weiyang took Yang Zijin to trot towards the main hall of the temple.

Shuo Ling and Qiao Shu had to follow behind them.

When they came to the main hall, Chushi Weiyang took the bamboo tube and knelt on the futon. He chanted silently in his mouth and handed the stick to the eminent monk who would decode the stick.

Only to see that the eminent monk first stunned, and then he said, “You would have a bright future. But you need to be more careful and cautious.”

Chushi Weiyang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. In a flash, he reverted to a playful look, “Come and pray, Master Yang!”

As a modern man, Yang Zijin didn't believe in G.o.d at all. But she couldn't resist Chushi Weiyang, who kept bothering her.
