After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

Afterwards, the eldest princess saw more than 20 young men in thin clothes, who had not even taken a bath, being led by the palace guards straight to her private bath. Then, she heard the sound of "splashing" water and comfortable sighs.

Princess:......

……

After a cup of tea, Yuan Ruan saw the eldest princess's red eyes for the first time.

The eldest princess' voice was choked with sobs, but her expression was stubborn: "I'm fine, I don't care. They are cold, and I don't mind giving them the private soup. It really doesn't matter to me."

When she said the last sentence, she sneezed a little, and who knew that a huge snot bubble would come out, and then it exploded with a loud "pop", just in time to blow away the bean yellow powder on the pastry in front of her.

The powder covered the princess's face.

Yuan Ruan quickly turned his head and buried it in Qi Yue's arms, trying hard not to laugh.

The prince felt a little guilty at first, but he almost laughed when he saw this scene.

Qi Yue had the strongest self-control and handed over a handkerchief to let the princess wipe her face.

The eldest princess was so embarrassed that she no longer felt sad.

At this moment, the housekeeper's gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying that the students had come out of the private bath and wanted to come over to thank the host.

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [How long have they been in the hot spring? Why are they coming out now? ]

System: [Those students were afraid of dirtying the princess' private bath, so they poured basins of water on themselves instead of jumping into the private bath. Of course, they would be faster.]

Yuanruan: [These people are pretty good. ]

The eldest princess felt a little warm in her heart, and her expression softened a lot. She signaled the butler to bring people over.

Soon, more than a dozen young men dressed in dark blue robes came in one after another. They lined up in two rows and bowed in unison to the prince and his entourage.

The young man in the lead bowed and said, "I am a fool. I didn't know that rubbing hands with snow water could cause injuries. Fortunately, you told me and brought me and others back to your house for help. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I will definitely repay you in the future."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply once again. More than a dozen young people followed suit, saying words of gratitude and then bowed deeply.

Yuan Ruan's eyes immediately fell on the young man in the lead, and he communicated with the system: [Tong'er, I remember you told me that these students don't know each other. ]

System: [Yes. They come from different regions, and the only thing they have in common is poverty.]

Yuan Ruan once again looked at the young man in the lead: [This one is able to be the boss, he has strong command ability, look at his melon, could he be some great talent? ]

The prince and others also looked over: To be the leader of so many strangers, he must have some talent.

System: [Let me see... Hmm? This Pei Langjun is a nice guy, but his talent is... average? Is he stronger when facing a strong opponent? Is he weaker when facing a weak opponent?]

The prince and others were stunned: ???

what? !

Is there such a talent of flexibility?

Yuanruan was also surprised: [Tong'er, why do you say that? ]

System: [For example, the line where your elder brother and nephew are both missing. Pei Langjun was recommended to be the county magistrate at that time. This county is located in a strategic location, and the rebel king above Pei Langjun changed three times in three years. But every time, Pei Langjun was able to lead most of the residents to escape the war and manage the place in an orderly manner. In the later period, Pei Langjun even opened up a mountain forest and led refugees from other counties to live a good life together.]

Yuan Ruan looked at the leader Pei Langjun in shock. He was not handsome, nor did he have a strong aura, but he was so powerful? !

Yuanruan: [Isn't this amazing?! Protecting a group of people in troubled times, he is a saint. 】

System: [Right! That’s why I said he gets stronger when facing stronger opponents. For example, in this line, Pei Langjun will get a mediocre score and become the scapegoat for several of his fellow townsmen.]

When the prince heard the word "take the blame", he subconsciously looked at Pei Langjun.

Pei Langjun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by two nobles in a row, and an awkward yet polite smile appeared on his face.

Yuanruan was also surprised: [What? Taking the blame? Taking the blame for what?]

System: [When these few people have any minor problems in the officialdom, they will throw the troubles on Pei Langjun. When Pei Langjun was blamed for many things, he took the initiative to resign and became a village chief after returning to his hometown. However, there is also a strange thing, those who made Pei Langjun take the blame were not killed, but continued to give him some help, so Pei Langjun did well after returning to his hometown. ]

Yuan Ruan was confused when he heard this: [Is this true? This person was slandered, but he didn't retaliate or get angry? He just went back home obediently? ]

System: [Really? Ah Ruan, I will lie to anyone but you!]

When Yuan Ruan heard that the system was anxious, he quickly said: [I believe you! I believe you, but... those who framed him are not afraid that Pei Langjun will be exposed? Not only did they not keep him silent, they continued to help him. ]

System: [This is true. Those people think Pei Langjun is soft-tempered and a good guy. They believe that a good guy will not bite back. At the same time, they feel a little guilty about him, so they try their best to be nice to him after he resigns.]

Yuanruan was shocked: [They are so confident in the good guys? ]

System: [Yes. It turns out that they made the right bet.]

Yuanruan: […My feelings are so complicated. This is so outrageous.]

Everyone:...

Hard to comment.

One of them dared to throw the blame, and the other dared to take it. The most outrageous thing is that both sides ended up living in peace.

The prince noticed something was wrong with the expressions of these young students.

But noticing that their posture was becoming more and more cowering, the prince controlled his expression and motioned for them to come over and sit down.

The students hesitated for a moment, and then, led by the butler, attendants and maids, they sat down one after another.

The prince waved his hand, and servants and maids came in one after another carrying plates. The tables in front of each gentleman were filled with greasy grilled meat, boiling fish soup, and a large pot of meat rice.

The young men tried their best to look straight ahead, but their physiological reactions could not be deceived and the stomachs of several of them made growling sounds.

The prince seemed to have heard nothing. He stood up and said kindly, "I have heard that you are all talented and knowledgeable. It is fate that we meet. Could you please have a drink and recite some poems?"

Yuan Ru couldn't help but whisper to the system: [My nephew is so gentle. He invited them to dinner and even remembered to use the excuse of "reciting poems and writing couplets" to protect their self-esteem.]
