Chapter 651 Boys Don’t Have to Work Too Hard

Lü Liang brought the two maids to a closed room, knocked on the door and reported: "Master, the maid is here to bring food to the master."

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a white-faced, beardless man wearing a green eunuch's uniform and a black gauze hat appeared, and raised his chin towards the two maids.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, how could there be a eunuch here?

The master that Lü Liang mentioned, couldn't it be the one in the East Palace!

The heavy guards in the Imperial Master's Mansion suddenly made sense, and the three internal martial arts masters in the dark in Puyuan were to protect this nobleman.

The maid lowered her head and took the food box in very obediently, without even a slant of her eyes from beginning to end. She opened the food box first, and the eunuch checked it one by one with a poison testing device. When they confirmed that it was correct, the two maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn't understand why they were worried about someone poisoning the master when there were so many guards in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

However, a distinguished person came to the house today. Now that the mission is completed, it is better to leave quickly.

When the food was delivered, the two maids bowed to the screen with their eyebrows lowered, and then retreated all the way to the door, and then turned around and walked away from Puyuan quickly.

The eunuch brought the food behind the screen, and inside was a bedroom that was different from ordinary houses. All the furniture in the house was very simple, even a little old, and the shape was also strange. The height of the furniture for sleeping and getting up was uniform, and there were handrails and slopes made of wooden boards everywhere.

Next to the screen, there was also a wooden wheelchair parked, and the wheels looked severely worn, like some junk.

Everything in this room was so out of place in the magnificent state master's mansion.

The eunuch looked at the young man sitting in front of the bed. He was about 30 years old, wearing a round-necked light yellow silk shirt, a jade belt around his waist, a crown of the same color on his head, and a jade-like face. His phoenix eyes slightly lowered and looked at the person on the bed, full of pity and kindness.

Such a young man, full of nobility, full of kindness and peace, can't see the traces of time left on him at all.

It is rare for such an almost innocent temperament to appear in a prince of a country.

From his peaceful expression, it can be seen that this must be a person who has been favored by many people and has a full sense of security.

"Sir, please get up and have dinner." Baili Qingyang gently called the old man who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and refused to open his eyes.

The eunuch also smiled and said: "Your Highness personally brought the imperial chef who is good at home cooking to you, and made a dish of green beans and tofu, bacon and bamboo shoots, and your favorite rice fish."

He originally wanted to please him, but he didn't want the person lying on the bed to say a word for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep.

But the eyes moving under his eyelids revealed the fact that he was actually very awake.

It's just that the old man's breathing was a little short, and the whole person was listless. There was still the smell of bitter medicine lingering on his body, and he looked lifeless, which was frightening.

Baili Qingyang sighed, feeling helpless and a little depressed, "Sir, you don't want to eat or see a doctor. Do you want to starve yourself to death and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life?"

This is serious. The dignified Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace said this. Gong Liangliao, who was lying on the bed breathing more than breathing in, had to open his eyes and said hoarsely and weakly: "Your Highness, you are too kind."

Baili Qingyang was delighted and waved to the eunuch to bring the food over. He looked at Gong Liangliao expectantly, "Sir, why don't you try it? This chef's cooking skills are pretty good."

Gong Liangliao pulled a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth and glanced at it with effort. The food on the tray had lost its heat after all the trouble along the way. He felt no appetite at a glance!

But that bastard national teacher moved the Crown Prince, so he couldn't be too much anyway.

Gong Liangliao sighed and barely supported his already thin body.

The two servants in the room hurried forward to help him sit up.

Just the simple action of propping himself up and sitting on the bed was enough to exhaust Gong Liangliao. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his bloodless lips slightly opened, he took a deep breath, and a "ho ho" sound came out of his throat, like a broken drum, wailing in the wind.

Gong Liangliao's eyes, which should have been full of wisdom and playfulness, had lost their last bit of brilliance.

He really wanted to just die like this.

But he couldn't. If he died at this moment, there would be a catastrophe in the court.

But if he lived for another day, he would be used by the bastard Guoshi for another day.

Whether he died or not, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die!

Not eating and not seeking medical treatment were just the only resistance he could make at the moment.

Thinking of this, Gong Liangliao was so angry that he laughed at himself. What was he suffering so much for?

Baili Qingyang signaled the servant to feed Gong Liangliao, and stood up with his hands behind his back, looking at the room decorated by the national teacher with items brought back from the remote countryside.

This kind of furniture and this kind of wood were also used by him when he was young. Now thinking about it, the days when the family squeezed together in a small mud house to avoid the pursuers were like a dream.

At that time, his father had only his mother as a woman, and his eldest sister was still the arrogant girl who threatened to conquer the entire Jiangdong Four States and was ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth.

And his mother said that boys don’t need to think too much, just grow up well. If you are afraid of being tired, you can be an idle nobleman in the future. If you are afraid of suffering, let your eldest sister send him a few more subordinates to serve.

Anyway, he doesn’t need to worry about anything, just take care of himself.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t persist in practicing martial arts. Boys don’t need to work too hard.

It’s okay to feel tired from studying. It’s enough to be able to write and calculate. You don’t need to work hard like your elder sister to prove yourself in order to be respected by all the subordinates as a woman.

Therefore, mother is always very harsh on the elder sister. She wants her to be the best in everything. If she fails, she will be scolded and punished.

As for him, mother always smiles very gently. He only needs to try to do a little bit better to get the most praise.

As long as he can remember, the elder sister hates him and says that he has received all the favoritism from his parents.

However, quarrels between siblings are also very common in ordinary families. They quarrel and fight, but the elder sister never leaves him behind when they really encounter problems.

When his mother took down the old capital of the previous dynasty, he and the elder sister fell behind and were chased by the retreating enemy.

At that time, his father was also with them. The coachman was afraid that his father would be captured, so in order to make the carriage run faster, he threw him off the carriage.

When he was at a loss and crying, it was the elder sister who came with her followers to save him.

At that moment, he slowly realized one thing, that is, the eldest sister who was harshly criticized by her mother to be the first in everything and suffered so much, was actually so powerful!

And he was at a loss when he encountered something and only knew how to cry bitterly.

His mother's favoritism has always been his point of pride, but at that moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be spoiled by his mother.

Just like his father, he can't do anything except eating, drinking and having fun.

Which year did he suddenly make up his mind to study and practice martial arts?

It seems to be the year when his father was instigated by his ministers to become king before his mother.

Mr. Gongliang rebuked with great pain: "As the eldest son of the king, you will inherit the throne in the future. How can you be so unambitious and not make progress! Greedy for fun!"

At that time, seeing his eldest sister who had already controlled 50,000 troops, he felt a strong sense of crisis for the first time in his heart.

However, he was given the important task of "inheriting the throne" and he has never been happy since then.

Just like what the eldest sister said, a person like him may not be able to afford an entire dynasty.
