Chapter 1372 The Prince's Token
Cheng Youning, who learned about this, still didn't know where he had gone wrong. "Qiao Rong, come with me to find my grandfather. I'll take the prince's seal and token, but why did you punish me to copy the Prince's Instructions? Have I copied less of the Prince's Instructions recently? I've memorized it all."
"Young Master, memorizing it is not the purpose. You have to follow the "Prince's Instructions"."
"There are so many rules and regulations, and you want this prince to follow them. Unless you are stupid, let's go and ask my grandfather for clarification."
"Your Highness, the Emperor won't even look for you, so don't fall into his trap. If I were you, I would quickly copy the "Prince's Instructions" right now."
"This prince must die knowingly, otherwise this prince will never copy the "Prince's Instructions"."
"Your Highness, isn't copying the 'Prince's Instructions' better than being beaten with a stick?"
Cheng Youning's face fell, "Even if my hands broke from writing, it would take me three days to copy the Prince's Instructions once. If I copied it ten times, it would take me a month."
Qiao Rong stopped talking after hearing this. He had been afraid of "Prince's Instructions" recently. Why did the emperor make this book so long?
"Qiao Rong, I think I should go to the palace and see if I can replace the copy of "Prince's Instructions" with a board."
"Your Highness, are you crazy? Who would volunteer to be beaten?"
"I was forced to do this!"
"I will help Your Highness write it. If we work together, we can finish copying it in half a month."
"Half a month, there are only a few months in a year. I think it's more cost-effective to be beaten with a stick. At most, you will have to lie in bed for five or six days."
Seeing that Cheng Youning would not listen to his advice, Qiao Rong said, "It's up to you!"
Cheng Youning slapped the walnuts in his hand onto the table, and with a snap, the walnuts broke into pieces.
At this time, Shang Xi came out from the inner room and said, "Youning, why are you banging the table for no reason? Don't you know that your grandfather is sleeping in there?"
Cheng Youning then realized that his actions just now were a bit extreme. He quickly explained, "Mom, it was my fault. I was peeling walnuts for my grandma, and the walnuts were too hard, so I used a little more force. Please rest assured, mom, I will be careful not to disturb grandpa."
Shang Xi had no doubts. Cheng Youning had been behaving very well in recent days and came to visit his grandfather every day. He had done things that other children of this age could not do, so Shang Xi was very pleased.
"Then keep your voice down and don't disturb your grandfather's rest!"
Cheng Youning shook the walnut residue on his hands and said to Shang Xi, "Mother, I have something to do in the palace. I will come back after I finish my business!"
Shang Xi was about to say, "What can you do?", but then she thought again, Cheng Youning is now the crown prince, maybe he really has something to do. She guessed it must be academic, so she said, "You go, your grandparents are here with me and your father, you can rest assured and study hard."
Cheng Youning stood up and bowed to Shang Xi. "I will listen closely to your teachings, mother. I will study hard and become a competent prince."
Shang Xi felt relieved after hearing Cheng Youning say this. It was obvious that in the past few months since Cheng Youning moved to the Prince's Mansion, he had done better in his studies than when he was at home, and his words also showed more responsibility and accountability.
Shang Xi caressed Cheng Youning's head lovingly, "Mom knows you are sensible, go ahead!"
Only then did Cheng Youning run to the palace and went straight to the Yangxin Palace!
His grandfather was indeed there, and his grandmother was there too.
"My grandson has met my little grandfather and my little grandmother!"
Wan Lianxing asked Cheng Youning, "How is your grandfather today?"
"same as usual!"
Wan Lianxing nodded, and said the same thing as the servant who went to visit Prince Pang's mansion today, "If there is nothing else, leave!"
Cheng Youning pouted her lips, and it looked like she was aggrieved and wanted to say, "Little Grandpa..."
"Put your mouth back, you are nine years old, not a child anymore, your mouth is so pouty that it can tie a donkey, you don't act like a prince at all!"
What does the prince look like? Cheng Youning wanted to ask but didn't dare to, because his grandfather had a very bad face.
"Grandfather, just an hour ago, someone went to Prince Pang's mansion and mysteriously told me to copy the "Prince's Instructions" ten times. Is this true? Could it be that the person falsely conveyed your instructions?"
"That is my will!"
"Why?" Cheng Youning was really a little desperate this time. Ever since he became the crown prince, he has been trapped by the crown prince's training. He thought he had escaped, but now it comes again.
"You're still asking why?" Wan Lianxing took out the prince's gold medal and smashed it directly on Cheng Youning's head.
Cheng Youning dodged and the gold medal fell at his feet. He was not surprised that his little grandfather hit him, but he was surprised why the token was in his little grandfather's hand.
He bit his left thumb for a long time, and his nails were bitten off, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Grandpa, why is my grandson's token here with you?"
"Then where should your token be? In Princess Zhuoyang's wedding procession?
When Princess Zhuoyang was mentioned, Cheng Youning laughed, "Little Grandpa, it was Zhuoyang who found the grandson."
"How did he find you? Why did he find you?"
"Grandfather, I didn't lie. It was really Zhuoyang who found me. Just a few days ago, someone secretly found me and said that Princess Zhuoyang was going to the southern Yan Kingdom to marry a princess. The team wanted to pass by us to beg for mercy. They asked me to think of a way!"
"You are the prince of Fengqi, and she is the princess of Dalang. If she asks you to be flexible, you should be flexible! Why are you so obedient!"
"It's not that my grandson is obedient. Zhuoyang treated me well in the past and gave me many toys."
"You just covet her little things? Has our Wan family ever lacked anything from you?"
"No, little grandpa, Zhuoyang is very thoughtful. The things he gave me are all things I like. And Zhuoyang cares about us, grandpa and grandson. After so many years, he still misses us!"
Wan Lianxing quickly glanced at Zhong Siyu. Zhong Siyu had a face as white as jade and clear eyes. She was listening to Cheng Youning's words seriously.
Wan Lianxing immediately made his attitude clear, distancing himself from Princess Zhuoyang, "What does this have to do with me? Princess Zhuoyang and I are not familiar with each other. If you want to provoke her, don't bring me along!" Wan Lianxing suddenly thought of something, "Youning...you didn't receive any benefits from Princess Zhuoyang again!"
Cheng Youning's silence meant that she agreed.
Wan Lianxing stood up and pointed at Cheng Youning and said, "The rebellious son of the Wan family, how can heaven and earth tolerate you!"
He reached for the ruler at hand and threw it at Cheng Youning again. Cheng Youning's heels didn't even leave the four sides, and his body nimbly avoided the ruler flying towards him. The white jade ruler fell to the ground with a thud, which made Wan Lianxing even more angry. He didn't care and picked up the memorial again, but this time Zhong Siyu pressed it down in time.
Zhong Siyu tried to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Youning is still young, you should discipline her properly, don't use violence."
