Chapter 356 Is this a place for people to live?
"Captain Constable, are you sure this is the yard that Lord Ji arranged for my prince to live in? The weeds are taller than me, and there's not even a place to step. How are my prince and princess going to live here?" Leng Jiu was almost stunned by the dilapidated yard in front of him.
If he were a little shorter, he would be lost in the weeds.
How could his prince be allowed to live here?
Constable A's eyes flashed with disdain, and he shouted, "What are you yelling about? Just live wherever you want. It's good enough that we can find you a courtyard for free. What's there to be picky about? If you're not satisfied, why don't you spend your own money to buy a mansion?"
Constable B also said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, my master just invited you to live in the county government office, but you chose not to live there. What are you shouting about now?"
A blind and disgraced prince who was exiled by the current emperor is lucky enough not to end up on the streets. He really thinks he is returning home in glory like Lord Shen.
How can you turn things around if you are blind? You can only stay in Yanzhou with your tail between your legs for the rest of your life!
Can't figure out the posture!
Chu Nanyue subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at King Yan, and seeing that he looked calm, she slowly said, "We can just pull out the weeds ourselves. I see that the courtyard is quite large, although a little desolate, and it is enough for our group to stay. Lord Ji is so thoughtful, and I'd like to trouble you two to thank Lord Ji on my behalf!"
Seeing Chu Nanyue was so polite, the constable didn't want to be too harsh, so he just went through the motions and said, "If Prince Yan and Princess Yan need anything, just come to my master!"
After saying this, he said goodbye and left.
Leng Jiu was still furious: "My Lord, Princess, look at this, is this a place where people live? It's overgrown with weeds, dilapidated, the door is shaky, and the roof tiles are incomplete... It's freezing in the winter and wet in the summer, how can people live here?"
Before Chu Nanyue opened her mouth, she heard a cold voice: "Leng Jiu, if you keep complaining in the future, don't stay with me. Anyway, you are so brave now that I don't even care about you!"
Upon hearing this, the indignant Leng Jiu immediately lost his temper. He knelt on the ground with a plop, hugged his prince's thigh and howled, "Wuwu... No, Prince, I dare not complain, I just feel sorry for you, how can such a noble body of yours be confined to such a dilapidated courtyard? Also, I don't not value you in my eyes, but in my heart. You are my heaven and my earth. Without you, I really don't know what to do? I will die!"
After that, fearing that his prince would not believe him, he added firmly, "You will really die!"
Xiao Hanye kicked him away: "Why don't you go and fix it quickly instead of waiting for it to heal itself?"
Leng Jiu immediately got up from the ground, burst into laughter and said, "As you command, Your Majesty, I will go and fix it right away, and I guarantee that not even a drop of rain will leak through!"
After saying this, he swiftly flew to the roof, rolled up his sleeves, and looked ready to do a big job.
Seeing this, Chu Nanyue shook his head speechlessly, then looked at Xiaotao, and Xiaotao consciously took out five taels of silver.
However, she didn't even bother to look at Leng Jiu.
Chu Nanyue handed the silver to Jiang Yan: "Jiang Yan, you and Leng Jiu should repair the yard inside and out, and make it habitable!"
Then he told Xiaotao and Sizhu, "Xiaotao, Sizhu, clean up the house. I'll make hot pot for everyone tonight!"
When they heard about hotpot, the group became even more excited.
In fact, they were not complaining. They just felt sorry for their own prince and princess.
But since they are here, they should just make the best of it. Since their prince and princess are so optimistic, why should they make themselves unhappy?
So everyone took action.
Just as everyone was working hard, a sarcastic voice came from outside the door.
"Puh, puh, puh... Yo, yo, yo... Is this a place for people to live?"
As they were talking, a group of people walked in, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by several followers. They were holding gift boxes in their hands, and their faces were full of ridicule and pride.
The eldest prince Xiao Liangce was the first to speak: "Where is my fourth brother? I heard that my fourth brother was exiled to Yanzhou by my father. Where is he? Hurry and take me to see him!"
After that, he pretended to be sympathetic and said, "Alas, how can such a proud man live without his eyes? It's really pitiful. This time, we two brothers finally got to see him. I must comfort him. It's just a pair of eyes. If they are gone, they are gone!"
Chu Nanyue, who had just finished cleaning her room, was playing with the child in the house with Xiao Hanye. Upon hearing this, she walked out.
Xiao Hanye wanted to go too, but she held him back with one hand: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Ah Ye can just stay here and look after the baby."
She adjusted her dress and walked out gracefully.
As soon as I went out, I saw the eldest prince Xiao Liangce standing in the yard with a group of people. They were arrogant. They were wearing brocade robes and jade crowns on their heads. They looked so superior and disgusting.
Especially when she opened her mouth, she was even more annoying: "Hey, isn't this my fourth brother's wife? Long time no see, why do you look so pale? Could it be that you were displaced and slept in the open air during your exile, and didn't eat, drink, or sleep well?"
Shen Meng'er, who was standing by, also sneered, "That's right, why does Princess Yan look so pale? Does it mean that women become ugly after giving birth?"
Chu Nanyue smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said calmly, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You two have become more and more skilled in talking. My complexion cannot compare with the rosy face of the eldest prince. It must be because there are too many concubines in the eldest prince's mansion and he has been partying every night. Tsk tsk tsk, look at your eyes, they are full of deep bruises. I am a doctor by birth, so I have to advise you in accordance with my duties as a doctor. You really have to pay special attention to this aspect. If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take the porcelain job. Be careful of dying young!"
And the eldest princess, I smell that you have been drinking some shameful medicine recently? Tsk tsk tsk, the smell is really strong!"
After saying this, she followed their example and covered her nose with her hands, then took a few steps back.
Xiao Tao ran out holding a broom. Seeing this, she quickly handed over a handkerchief and said, "Princess, you just gave birth. Your body is very weak now. Use this to cover yourself."
Shen Meng'er was immediately angry when her privacy was exposed: "Your Highness, look at how the Princess of Yan is still so arrogant and slandering me even at this point. How despicable!"
She had been married to Xiao Liangce for two years but had no children. She had taken many Chinese medicines but to no avail. Then she heard from her father that there was a miracle doctor in Yanzhou who could cure any disease, so she hurried here under the pretext of visiting relatives.
But unfortunately, the miracle doctor has left the valley and no one knows when he will return.
She was already feeling angry, and when Chu Nanyue yelled at her, how could she not be angry?
Xiao Liangce's face turned pale. He didn't expect Chu Nanyue to hit back at him so sharply, and in public. So, he immediately said angrily: "Chu Nanyue, you are so bold to talk to me like this! Do you think your fourth brother is still the high and mighty King Yan? Where do you get your superiority from?"
Chu Nanyue smiled and asked back, "Xiao Liangce, where do you get your superiority from?"
Seeing this, Shen Meng'er immediately shouted coldly: "How dare you, Chu Nanyue, call Prince Jing by his name!"
After he finished speaking, he wanted to teach her a lesson, but Chu Nanyue got there first and slapped him in the face!
