What should he say about the book,'The Plum in the Golden Vase?' Some people thought that this was an extremely disharmonious and evil book. If it was allowed to circulate in the market, it would be indecent and the government should vigorously ban it. There were also some gentlemen who supported it. Although the content of this book was a little indecent, the flaws did not obscure its beauty. It was still a rare and outstanding work in the literary world of Ming Dynasty!
However, no matter how the two argued, this "Golden Lotus" couldn't appear in the hands of a child, let alone the most popular illustrated edition. Old Master Yang trembled as he flipped through the album. The content inside made the old man so angry that his entire body was trembling. He was on the verge of exploding at any moment!
"Pa." Closing the album, Elder Yang stared at Zhu Jingkun and said gloomily,""Your Highness, where did this item come from?"
Zhu Jingkun, who had made a mistake, looked at Elder Yang's expression nervously. Then, he saw Li Xingke, who was looking at him sympathetically behind him, and his eyes immediately lit up. This gaze gave the two of them a bad feeling. As expected…
"Master, please listen to my explanation. This book is not mine.”
"Then whose is it? Your Highness, quickly tell this old man!”
Zhu Jingkun revealed a regretful and helpless expression as he pointed at the youth behind the old man. The old man turned in the direction of his finger and looked at him with a sharp gaze. This made Dawnstar's scalp tingle.
The feeling of being someone's scapegoat wasn't very good, especially when he was the scapegoat for someone he had just met for the first time. Before Li Xingke could react, Zhu Jingkun immediately added fuel to the fire,"Mr. Yang, this is what happened. I accidentally bumped into him reading this book and was instantly furious! It was really too outrageous. She didn't learn to read obscene books at such a young age. She would be in trouble when she grew up. For this reason, I have been teaching them a lesson just now. I didn't want the Headmaster to know about this, lest you get angry and hurt yourself. Who knows? Sigh!"
Looking at Zhu Jingkun's regretful expression of not being able to save the youth who had lost his footing, Li Xingke was dumbfounded and had a face full of disbelief. However, in Old Master Yang's eyes, this expression was obviously a sign that he had done something bad and was discovered. The evidence was conclusive and the truth was out.
"Your Highness, how can you hide this matter? This old man is the lecturer of the Spring Workshop. If I let such obscene things destroy your pure and simple heart, then this old man will not be able to escape punishment even if I die ten thousand times. No, this old man will report this matter to His Majesty. How can such a mischievous person become His Highness's study companion? If he leads His Highness astray, Great Ming will miss a future wise ruler!”Old Master Yang said excitedly. In the end, he glared at Dawnstar.
"Ah!"
Dawnstar's expression changed drastically. This matter was so serious that it would lead the future emperor astray. He could not sit still anymore.
At this time, Zhu Jingkun's expression also changed greatly. It was already a little inappropriate to let someone take the blame. If he was directly chased away by the old teacher, he would feel even more apologetic.
So he quickly excused the two of them." Mr. Yang, calm down. I have already lectured them fiercely just now. They are also regretful. On the account that they are young and ignorant, please give them a chance!”As he spoke, he quickly winked at the two of them.
Seeing Zhu Jingkun's expression, the indignant Li Xingke also reacted and quickly knelt down with a sincere expression."Mr. Yang, I have already admitted my mistake. Please give me another chance!”
Seeing that Dawnstar was very understanding and did not expose him by kneeling down to beg for mercy, he also helped to add,"Mr. Yang, in fact, this matter cannot be blamed on them. There must be a treacherous villain who secretly instigated this. Otherwise, how could they have such thoughts at such a young age?”After saying that, Zhu Jingkun's face was filled with shock. He even cursed himself. Now we're even!
After hearing the prince's words, Old Master Yang's expression eased. He looked at the kneeling Dawn Star and said with relief,"Since His Highness is pleading for you. In that case, this old man will also be lenient. From now on, you must stay away from those villains and keep yourselves clean. Do you understand?
"Yes, sir. I understand!" Dawnstar let out a long breath and bowed again.
Zhu Jingkun, who was at the side, said with a face full of shame,""Teacher, you should hurry up and teach. It's getting late.”
It was almost noon, and the two youths in the back hall of Spring Workshop were looking at each other.
"Cough cough!"
Zhu Jingkun coughed to break the awkward atmosphere and said,""This is the first time we've met. Let's forget about the unpleasantness just now. After all, there's still a long way to go!”
The straightforward Dawnstar could not help but say in grief,"Your Highness, you framed us!"
"I'm sorry!" Zhu Jingkun bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Do you know that this is against the way of a gentleman?”
"I know, but when I think about how Mother will spank me when I go back, I don't want to be a gentleman for the time being.”
Li Xingke immediately looked at Zhu Jingkun speechlessly. He suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion,"Your Highness, who gave you that picture album? How could there be such obscene things in the inner court of the Imperial Palace?”
"This! A eunuch secretly gave it to me. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a wonderful thing, so I couldn't help but, hehe!”
Looking at Zhu Jingkun's giggle, Li Xingke couldn't help but worry about the future of the Federation. It was as if Mr. Yang's words weren't sensational!
Li Xingke hurriedly advised Zhu Jingkun,"Your Highness, before I entered the palace, I often listened to my father's words. The decline of the Great Ming's state affairs is all caused by the eunuch's autocracy. Now that a eunuch had the audacity to secretly pass this item to His Highness, it was obviously a conspiracy. Your Highness must distinguish between black and white, and must not be tempted by crafty sycophants!”
"Hmph, of course I know." Zhu Jingkun put away his smile and said disdainfully," Those castrated dogs just want to use all kinds of unbearable things to make me indulge in them so that I can become a fatuous ruler in the future."
Looking at Zhu Jingkun's changed expression, Li Xingke was slightly shocked. This was a completely different person from His Highness who was still smiling foolishly just now. "So Your Highness has long seen through the eunuch's plan, and is only pretending to be addicted to it to confuse the other party." So I misunderstood Your Highness. I was wondering why Your Highness had such a hobby!”
Hearing this, Zhu Jingkun said a little unnaturally,""Uh, actually? Playing dumb is one thing, but I've never heard of many of their items outside the palace. Other than that small drawing book, they also gave me a lot of fun things to play with. I was so happy that I pretended to be stupid. Are you guys interested? I have all kinds of comics from Japan…"
Looking at Zhu Jingkun who was talking non-stop, Li Xingke couldn't help but wonder which one was the real prince.
"By the way, after saying so much, I still don't know your name?”Zhu Jingkun asked.
"Your Highness, I, Li Xingke, have just turned seven years old this year.”
After Liu Yu heard this, she rubbed her chin and said unhappily,""What are you doing? You're actually older than me. How can I still be the boss?”
The corners of Li Xingke's mouth twitched. He did not know how to answer. Zhu Jingkun's expression changed again and he said seriously,"Then may I ask what your aspirations are!"
Dawnstar was stunned by this serious question. He immediately straightened his clothes, straightened his back, and replied solemnly,"Your Highness, my ambition is to eradicate the harm of the eunuchs, revive the Ming Dynasty, and subdue the four seas!”
"Although our first meeting wasn't very harmonious, since everyone has the same thoughts, we'll be accomplices from now on." This is the first time we've met. I'm Zhu Jingkun, the prince of the Great Ming Federation. Please take care of me in the future!”
Looking at Liu Yu's outstretched hand, the other two teenagers also smiled and reached out to shake hands. From then on, the future best trio of the Chinese Federation was born!
