"Big brother may not be willing to take me to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to collect grain." The Sixth Prince told Xue Yao, "This is a matter of national importance, and Big Brother won't allow us to ask about it."
The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief at his words and lowered his head calmly.
Xue Yao advised, "Because this is a matter of national importance, Your Highness should share the Crown Prince's worries, and if brothers are united, their benefits will break the gold!"
The Seventh Prince once again looked at Xue Yao with a wary sideways glance.
The second prince noticed his seventh brother's uneasy expression, and immediately seized the opportunity to stand out and clap, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask my elder brother to bring my sixth brother along, even if I can't be of any help, it's still a good idea to let my sixth brother get a better understanding of the world. Xue Yao, if you also want to go along, go back and start preparing your luggage."
The Seventh Prince's face became even more alarmed!
Eyes blearily waiting for Xue Yao's answer.
Thanks to the Sixth Prince's thoughtfulness, he asked Xue Yao, "After receiving the grain, it still has to be transported to the affected counties, so it will take at least a few months before you can return to the palace, and if you're not in the palace for such a long period of time, who's going to take care of the Seventh Brother?"
The Seventh Prince looked at Xue Yao with a look of recognition.
Your Highness who will take care of it!
Xue Yao turned his head to look at the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince immediately had a pitifully helpless expression, and also opened his mouth slightly, shivering his lips.
It was probably learning from the Second Prince's miserable appearance when he was chased by the boar.
A beautifully crafted, movie-star pup!
Xue Yao, however, was not overcome by the Seventh Prince's acting skills.
The change of law has begun, the future of the Grand Prince and the future of the Seventh Prince are at stake.
If this step went wrong, all previous efforts would be wasted, and the seventh prince could not be left to his own devices.
Xue Yao couldn't be soft at this time, and persuaded with a stern face, "Your Highness is already a little man, you don't need me to take care of you, you can take care of yourself, right?"
The Second Prince laughed out loud, "Old Seven is still Big Brother's little baby, what kind of a man is he!"
The Seventh Prince's gaze flinched as he exasperatedly glared at his second brother and then looked at Xue Yao.
His Highness wants to be a man, but he also doesn't want to be stupid and distant and run off with Sixth Brother.
So, the Seventh Prince came close to his face and whispered a fake secret to Xue Yao: "All men need a chaperone."
"I don't believe it." Xue Yao ruthlessly rejected the little chubby cub's dependence.
It's going to be a big deal now, and the little brat still won't wean himself off.
In the original, the twelve-year-old seventh prince, already a Dragon Ao Tian semi-finished product, just short of encountering the sword god and sweeping monk to teach lifelong martial arts, with today's seventh prince is simply a stark contrast.
It's time for the chubby little cub to get used to being independent.
"Collecting grain and providing disaster relief is a great matter for the court, as well as for His Highness the Crown Prince, and since I have the opportunity to contribute, it is incumbent upon me to do so. Your Highness is the most powerful Highness, and will definitely be able to take care of himself."
After saying that, Xue Yao stared at the Seventh Prince with a stern face.
I expected the chubby little cub to wriggle around and throw a tantrum as he had done when he was a young boy, yet he didn't.
The seventh prince just looked at him with lost eyes, the slanting sun was half covered by his rooted long eyelashes, and the light teal pupils of his eyes were dense with a sad gray cloud.
The joy and pain of this little one is so contagious that it can make a hard-hearted man lose his battle in such a gaze.
However, Xue Yao, who had no way to retreat, could only look away, ruthlessly refusing to meet his eyes.
Make all the efforts have not been able to retain stupid Yao Yao, the seventh prince is not happy, rabbit nest do not want to pull out, suddenly began to throw a small temper, ran alone to the shade of the tree to sit down, do not cooperate with the hunting action.
The Sixth Prince hurriedly led the carriage and horse to follow him, coaxing his brother in a gentle voice: "Are you hungry? Let's rest here for a while, there's a stream to the west, brother will roast a rabbit for you to satisfy your craving, okay?"
Xue Yao also had reluctance in her heart, turned around and went to the carriage to take out her own luggage, pulled out a packet of cumin and anise prepared seasoning, ran to the shade of the tree and smiled at the Seventh Prince, "I'm going to grill a barking rabbit for Your Highness this day, haven't you ever eaten it before? It's especially delicious!"
The Seventh Prince didn't say anything and sulked with his head down.
The Sixth Prince picked up the slack facetiously and asked Xue Yao, "What is the practice of calling a rabbit? I've only heard of called chicken."
"Does Your Highness know about the Called Chicken?" Xue Yao didn't expect Baby Nuan to be so good at cooking and was surprised, "You've eaten it before, right?"
"I've even done it myself." The Sixth Prince laughed: "The chicken's stomach is wrapped in onion and ginger seasoning, brushed with sauce, and then wrapped with the fresh lotus leaves that Auntie helped me pick, wrapped in yellow clay, buried in the earth, and a fire was built on top of it, so that the chicken meat that comes out of the test is tender and flavorful."
"Your Highness is truly an expert." Xue Yao raised his eyebrows proudly and said confidently, "The called rabbit I made has one more process and some more secret seasonings than the unusual called chicken, Your Highness must not have tasted it."
Silently listening to Bad Sixth Brother and Silly Yao Yao merrily discussing the craft of cooking, the Seventh Prince lowered his head, his little face bulging more and more round.
Developing food had always been the Sixth Prince's little hobby, and now that he heard Xue Yao say so, he was so curious that he ignored Seventh Brother's beeping warning and excitedly told Xue Yao some of his secrets of making called chicken.
Not long after, the attendant attendant handled the rabbit meat and ran back from the stream, taking out the lotus leaves prepared beforehand as Xue Yao requested, and sending them along to the shade of the tree.
Xue Yao checked the ingredients and sauces, and with a snap of his fingers, he confidently began to demonstrate his cooking skills.
The three princes waited under the shade of a tree for the meal to begin, and the attendants served cool mountain water and freshly picked sweet farm fruits to whet the appetites of several of the princes.
The Seventh Prince sulked and tilted his head back to take a sip of the mountain spring water.
The Second Prince immediately raised his cup in a bitchy manner to stimulate the Seventh Brother, "This cup, when it's for Xue Yao's practice!"
The Seventh Prince bowed his head and spat out the water!
His Highness does not practice!
The Sixth Prince, in order to make his brother happy, got up and looked around, lifted his hand and plucked a few tree vines, sat back down next to the Seventh Brother, his long fingers flipped, and in a short while, he wove a crown of tree vines and flowers, and smiled as he wore it on the Seventh Brother's head.
However, the Seventh Prince who put on the straw crown was still not happy.
The Second Prince also followed the Sixth Prince's example and personally braided a straw crown.
I just accidentally made it up too big and put it on my own head, sliding it all the way up to the bridge of my nose and blocking my face.
The little courtesans around them were amused and giggled.
The Second Prince also cracked up laughing, took off his straw crown, tossed it aside, and grumbled mockingly, "What a thing to make up!"
"Put it on brother, it will be useful for big brother to inspect the prey in a while." The Seventh Prince indifferently reminded.
The Second Prince looked at the large straw crown he had braided and wondered, "What's the point of wearing this?"
The seventh prince revealed his true face of evil: "Brother lost with only three hares left, use this grass crown to block your face, big brother can't recognize you, so he won't beat you up."
"You brat!" The Second Prince raised his fan and was about to knock his brother.
The Sixth Prince, who was drinking water, squirted with laughter and choked and coughed.
It so happened that Xue Yao walked back after handling the hare and rushed forward to pat the Sixth Prince on the back.
The Sixth Prince managed to stop coughing, and the Seventh Prince coughed again.
Having long since gotten used to the little chubby cub's favor-seeking tactics, Xue Yao made a face, "Don't learn to cough like others!"
The Seventh Prince immediately bowed his head and silenced himself.
Particularly aggravating.
Silly Yao Yao only shoots Sixth Brother, not His Highness!
*
After the morning's hunt, the Seventh Prince refused to participate in the hunt and sulked alone in his tent, playing chess with himself.
Xue Yao could only obediently run and coax.
"Is the Crown Prince good to His Highness?" Xue Yao followed the good advice.
The Seventh Prince lowered his head and dropped his son, not answering.
The little chubby boy had rarely been so "iceberg" to him, so it seemed he really wasn't used to being apart from him.
"Is the Crown Prince's great matter not Your Highness's great matter?" Xue Yao persisted and persuaded.
The Seventh Prince stared at the chessboard and faintly opened his mouth to ask rhetorically, "Is Your Highness good to Yao Yao?"
Xue Yao was stunned by the question.
This little guy's attitude at the moment actually had a bit of the flavor of the original.
That means the chubby little cub is in a bad mood.
The original Lu Qian's character is actually one of the worst results of character deterioration.
Xue Yao was worried that his many years of favor had been lost, but the matter of changing the law, he must follow the whole process, miss a small thing, may not be able to undo the final sad results.
One can only be cruel and continue to be stern.
"Your Highness is good to Yao Yao, so you should obey Yao Yao's wishes." Xue Yao said.
However, the Seventh Prince was unmoved and still asked Xue Yao rhetorically, "Is Your Highness's great matter Yao Yao's great matter?"
"Where are the big events for Your Highness?" Xue Yao continued to coax, "There are so many people serving in the palace, I'll arrange for them to prepare the milk that His Highness will drink every day, and I'll be back in a few months when I go to Jiangzhe, so nothing big will happen."
There was a silence.
The Seventh Prince dropped a white stone and proposed a solution, "Master will go with you."
"This won't do!" Xue Yao was anxious, "You're not an adult, the Emperor definitely won't let you go to such a faraway place to run around and labor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't agree to it either."
The Seventh Prince raised his eyes with a clear and certain gaze, landing on Xue Yao's face, "Big brother will agree."
Seeing him being so stubborn, Xue Yao stopped arguing.
There was only one tricky thing today - the deadline for opening the Renwu two chakras, which was less than three months away.
I heard the Second Prince say that the Crown Prince's ship, which was transporting grain, was ready.
If he could successfully join the grain purchasing team, when the fall hunt was over, Xue Yao would have to follow the flotilla straight to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
That means he only has three or five days left to complete the mission.
There's no choice but to tough it out and take it on yourself.
Having already thought of a good way before coming, Xue Yao knelt down and sat on the futon beside the Seventh Prince, and spoke earnestly, "There are many guards outside the tent accompanying the Fifth Prince in a wrestling match, would Your Highness like to go out with me to try your hand?"
The Seventh Prince calmly dropped another black stone, "I'm so tired oh."
"Your Highness!" Xue Yao impatiently grabbed the arm of this little lazy egg and yanked it up, "Just go out and try your hands, you haven't been out of the tent this afternoon, a man can't stay inside all the time, he'll be wasted!"
"Master forbids you to talk about second brother like that." The vindictive Seventh Prince never forgot to patch up his Otaku God brother.
Who let Ergo cheat away silly Yao Yao.
"The Second Prince doesn't stay inside all the time, he won't be wasted!" Xue Yao was going to be exasperated by this ventriloquist cub, and defended the Second Prince of the House God, "The Second Prince is usually practicing his dao, he's even more tired than us! Let's go Your Highness, go out and fight, fight me."
The Seventh Prince did not move and calmly landed his son, "Master will not beat you."
Xue Yao used a provocative method, "Is Your Highness afraid of losing to me."
The Seventh Prince let out a low humming laugh, his head didn't even raise, and his laughing eyes showed arrogance.
I can't believe the mockery is all over the place.
Xue Yao: "......"
What right does an asshole have to look down on people!
What's the point of tugging when you haven't opened up the second chakra!
Can't stand it.
Xue Yao narrowed his eyes and finally used his must-have technique as he spoke in a deep voice, "His Highness the Sixth Prince has won several rounds in a row just now, he is simply the most powerful Highness of all."
The slender fingers of the Seventh Prince's fallen son stuttered in mid-air.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
A stirring fighting spirit spreads in all directions.
The good, tired Seventh Prince stood up.
