"Please speak, Your Highness. If I can help, I will.”
Xiao Hu hesitated for a moment before replying.
"It's very simple. Tell me, how can I leave the palace?”
Zhu Lin grinned.
"Although the Imperial Palace is large, it is still a cage.”
"I just woke up and don't want to stay in the palace. I want to see the outside world.”
"Can you help me?"
Erhu was speechless.
The palace was a cage? If the emperor knew about this, he would probably curse again.
"Your Highness the King of Wei, you dare not speak nonsense!”
He hurriedly said,
"Princes and princesses are not allowed to leave the palace without the emperor's permission.”
"If you want to leave the palace, you can only go to the emperor. This general really can't help you.”
Old Zhu had strict rules for princes.
When she was underage, she would stay in the palace and study hard. She could not run around.
When the New Year was over, he would directly go to the fief and become a vassal. Without an edict, he would not be allowed to enter the capital or leave the fief!
Wanting to run around the world was impossible!
"Help me out…"
Zhu Lin tugged at Xiao Hu's sleeve and said in a low voice,
"I know. You must have a way out, right?”
"You help me, I help you. This is what friends are like! Otherwise, what kind of friend are you!"
Xiao Hu's face turned bitter.
He knew that it wasn't that easy to be the King of Wei's 'friend'.
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've just lifted your restraining order. You can't commit another crime right away, right?”
Xiao Hu could only persuade him,
"I need to rest for a while and perform well in front of the emperor…"
"Listen to me. As long as you complete your studies well and get Sensei Song's approval, you can go to the Empress and beg for her, and the Emperor might agree.”
"Sneaking out of the palace and still having to be on tenterhooks, how can it be as free as going out openly? Don't you agree?"
After a series of persuasion, Zhu Lin finally stopped.
"…Alright, what you said makes sense.”
Zhu Lin patted his shoulder and waved his hand.
"Then lead the way! Bring me to Mr. Song!"
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Hu heaved a sigh of relief and hastened his pace.
……
Main Hall.
This was a place set up by Zhu Yuanzhang for his sons and grandsons to study.
Some handsome talents were also qualified to come here to listen to the teachings. There were also descendants of founding ministers such as Xu Da, Li Shan Chang, and Tang He. They also had the opportunity to receive Old Zhu's gift and come here to study with the princes.
At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the main hall.
The chief instructor of the princes, Song Lian, was holding a scripture and muttering in front of the podium,
" Mencius said: Wealth and honor cannot be lewd, poverty and inferiority cannot be changed, and might cannot be subdued. This is called a real man.”
窸窸窣窣。
Under Xiao Hu's signal, Zhu Lin bent down and casually found a seat in the corner to sit down.
In front of him, there were all the four treasures of the study and a thin scripture book.
His arrival attracted the attention of all the princes. When they saw that familiar face, everyone revealed a surprised expression.
"Isn't this Seventh Brother? Why was he here to study? With his brain, could he understand?”
"I heard that Seventh Brother's mind has cleared up. Do you know that he threw Zhu Xi into the lake a few days ago? That little bastard Zhu Rong was almost killed by him!”
"I've heard, I've heard…He's quite ruthless. Hehe, how can this fool wake up? I'll try him after class later!"
“……”
The princes whispered to each other.
"Silence!"
Song Lian reprimanded,
"Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, tell me what this old man just said. What does it mean for Teacher Meng?”
The King of Qin Zhu He and the King of Chu Zhu He, who were absent-minded, were caught. They slowly stood up.
Meaning?
They didn't know what it meant. If they weren't chatting, they were daydreaming! She didn't even listen to what Song Lian said…
"Zhu Rong, speak!"
Song Lian said with a dark face.
"Uh, this, then…"
Zhu Rong stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Ignorant and incompetent!"
Song Lian flicked his sleeves and looked at Zhu Rong with an increasingly unfriendly expression. He reprimanded,
"Zhu Rong, tell me then!"
"If you can't say it, then there's no need to learn. Sitting here is a waste of time!”
"!!!"
If he was chased home, he would definitely be beaten to death by his father!
"I, I…this, I…"
He was anxious and quickly signaled to the fourth brother beside him with his eyes. He said in a low voice,
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, quickly give third brother some advice, quickly!”
"Otherwise, we're done for…"
Zhu Di smiled.
"Benevolence and righteousness, abide by benevolence, righteousness, and morality." he replied softly.
"Hurry up and tell me!" The ferule in Song Lian's hand was already in full swing.
"Benevolence!"
Zhu Xiong grabbed onto his life-saving straw and shouted,
"Sir, this is an expression of Master Meng's benevolence and righteousness.”
Zhu Lin, who was sitting in the corner of the back row, couldn't help but snicker when he saw how busy he was.
In every class, there would always be a big fool and a second fool.
These two people should be Dumb and Silly.
"Don't laugh, Your Highness. Sensei Song's eyes are very sharp, don't let him see you.”
The little scholar beside him lowered his head and reminded him in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Zhu Lin looked sideways.
He had been looking around just now and did not notice that there was someone sitting beside him.
Looking at this person's clothes, he had a scholarly appearance. Looking at his age, he didn't seem to be his brother.
Could it be his study companion?
As he thought about it, he listened to the words of this little scholar and sat down obediently to watch his brothers make a fool of themselves.
"Ha!"
Song Lian sneered and looked at Zhu Di.
"You asked for help, but you still can't speak clearly. It can be seen how lazy you are usually! The two of you, remember 20 strokes!”
"Zhu Di!"
The tall and slightly burly Zhu Di stood up and cupped his hands in salute.
"Mr. Song."
"Do you think you understand? You even helped others." Song Lian's eyes were like torches as he said coldly," Since you're so free, tell me, what exactly does Master Meng mean? If you say it badly, your punishment will be doubled!”
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi's faces turned bitter.
Twenty hits on the palm, that hand would probably be crippled! Mr. Song was famous for being ruthless!
If it was forty strokes…then his hand would definitely be so swollen that he wouldn't be able to move tomorrow!
Zhu Xi didn't dare to look at Zhu Di. After all, he was the one who asked for help from Fourth Brother, which was why Fourth Brother suffered such an undeserved disaster.
However, Zhu Di looked confident and replied,"
"Yes, please answer."
