Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 155 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (26)

Shi Qing didn't say anything, but asked Mo Bai to go down and prepare medicine and lunch. Then he held the prince's head and forced him to take the medicine and eat.

At first, the prince was still struggling, until Shi Qing spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, the Queen brought you into this world, and the first lesson she taught you was separation. So many people in this world have lost everything overnight, but few have abandoned themselves like you."

The prince was immersed in his own world. Every word Shi Qing said was a burden to him, and many things only brought him pain.

"You are now the wife of the Marquis, so you naturally have everything you want. Naturally, you don't understand my pain. I don't want to embarrass you, but Madam, please don't think about how to cheer me up..."

Shi Qing sneered and she said coldly.

"My brother lost his mother when he was young and was tortured by his stepmother. Now he has stood up on his own. But Your Highness has everything easily, but he doesn't value his life. Well, even if you want to die, I won't try to stop you."

The prince had heard of Shi Xiaoyun's name and knew that he had once been a slave to his stepmother, but how could such a talented person be buried?

Shi Qing's statement was wrong from the beginning, and he became more and more certain of his own thoughts, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart gradually intensified.

"Tell me, how can we leave?"

Shi Qing took out a jade pendant from his lapel slowly, but the originally exquisite jade pendant was covered with dirt. Zhongjing's emotions instantly became agitated, and his face changed slightly.

"How did you get this jade pendant? Back when we were at Yumen Pass, my mother wanted to give alms to a beggar, but she realized she didn't have any silver, so she gave him this jade pendant. It was her most precious thing, so how did it end up in your hands..."

Zhongjing wanted to snatch the jade pendant back, but Shi Qing was very flexible, so there was no way he could do that.

She put away the jade pendant in her hand and looked at the prince's gnashing teeth expression, which was much more vivid than the life-or-death expression just now.

The imperial family is full of helplessness, but the royal family has obtained more wealth and honor than ordinary people. If they forget the responsibilities on their shoulders because of the past, it would be a bit inappropriate.

"What do you want? How can you give me the jade pendant in your hand? What use is there to you if the jade pendant is already soiled?"

Zhongjing's eyes were slightly red. He just missed his mother. When he left Yumen Pass, none of his mother's remaining belongings were left behind because of Concubine Yu.

Now, seeing this jade bead, he suddenly had the motivation to survive, which was to snatch this jade bead back.

"It's of no use to me, so what use is it to the prince? If you really want it, how about we make a deal?"

Zhong Jing looked at her warily. He knew very well that the woman that Brother Xuanyuan liked could not be an ordinary person. He had underestimated her. He became emotional and spoke uncomfortably.

"As long as I can do it, I can promise you."

Shi Qing felt relieved at this moment, looked at Zhong Jing calmly, and said slowly.

"Give me half a month. If Your Highness truly wishes to follow the Empress, I will not stop you."

Zhong Jing was a little surprised. "Is it really that simple?"

Shi Qing nodded, "Of course, I never talk nonsense."

After hearing this, Zhongjing gritted his teeth and finally agreed to it.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you give me the jade pendant!"

Shi Qing did not hesitate and placed the jade pendant in Zhongjing's hand.

Zhongjing looked at the jade pendant that he had lost again, and his belief became firmer. When his mother was alive, she said that one should not be a person who breaks his promise.

Originally thought, Shi Qing was planning to lock him up in the study of the East Palace every day, make him study and learn to read and write every morning and evening, or whip him by hanging his head on the beam or piercing his legs with a needle, but none of that happened.

Shi Qing would sometimes take Zhongjing to the capital for a stroll. The two of them would wear ordinary clothes and stroll along the busy streets, listening to the vendors' calls and watching for new beggars on the roadside.

She took Zhongjing to a remote slum in the capital, where most of the displaced refugees lived. They could not get enough food every day, and some people even fought to the point of bleeding for food.

There is also a man whose family has fallen into poverty and whose arms are disabled. He is trying hard to clean himself up. Although his arms are empty, he tries to act like a normal person and always has a smile on his face.

Zhongjing studied under Shi Qing. Not only did he not have enough to eat every day, he also never ate the delicacies from the palace. Shi Qing prepared dinner for him based on what the refugees ate.

In the evening, she took Zhongjing to Xuanyuan Heng's military camp. It was the time when the soldiers entered the camp. She heard that a lot of new people had entered Xuanyuan Heng's military camp.

Although Zhongjing looked pale, his eyes were fixed on the soldiers in the military camp who were small in stature but were training hard and studying diligently.

There was also a young man who worked hard to improve his martial arts, and his originally dead heart gradually began to loosen.

He trapped himself in the deep palace, grieving for the death of his mother, and gave up his power as a superior, but he didn't know how much effort others had to put in to get all this.

God favors him. When he was young, he was as bright as the moon. Looking back on the past now, it seems like it was a thing of his previous life.

Shi Qing glanced at the prince, whose heart was beating fast, and said in a calm tone.

"Your Highness, some have lost both arms but are still resolute and brave, while others are young yet willing to shed blood and tears for their country. The Empress is so resolute, so Your Highness must share the Empress's heart for the world.

Don’t you want a day when the seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, and the world is at peace?

Your Highness is not involved in government affairs, so don't you know that there are countless people who covet the throne? "

Zhongjing didn't say anything. His narrow and long phoenix eyes took in everything in front of him, and the jade pendant in his hand felt a little hot.

He recalled the past, closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were clear.

His body and hair were given by his parents. He is not an ordinary person. Now he has figured it out and is willing to use his remaining body to work for a peaceful and prosperous world for the people.

Compared to the people who were suffering, the pain he endured seemed to be less than one-tenth of it.

The Queen Mother always said that contentment is the key to happiness. Perhaps she couldn't stand the fact that I was courting death like this, so she invited Shi Qing to be her female teacher.

In the setting sun, Zhongjing bowed solemnly to Shi Qing and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Zhongjing greets Master Shi. I will trouble you with my studies in the future."

This gave Shi Qing a way out and at the same time narrowed the distance between the two of them. Zhongjing has always been a smart young man.

Shi Qing pinched his cheek and said with a smile, "My younger brother is the same age as Your Highness and is currently working in the Hanlin Academy. When he's free, I'll have him come over and study with Your Highness."

Zhongjing had heard of Shi Xiaoyun's name and knew that he was no ordinary person. How could a young man who could gain the approval of his father and stand out among a group of literati be an ordinary person?

"In that case, thank you, Master."

Shi Qing has always been a man of action, and she has seen the prince's actions.

In order to prevent the prince from being reminded of the queen by the things she had seen, she asked Mo Bai to hide the queen's things for the time being.

Then he borrowed two soldiers from Xuanyuan Heng's military camp to accompany Zhongjing in martial arts training every day.

As for her studies, she chose the middle way, but the lectures were too boring and Shi Qing was too lazy to teach them herself.

So after discussing it with the prince, he asked Shi Xiaoyun to come and give lectures to Zhongjing when he was free.

The prince's daily medicine was prepared just like his meals, but Shi Qing did not allow the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare delicacies from land and sea.

All the dishes were prepared according to the standards of the slums, except for the occasional extra meal when the prince behaved well.

As for the fact that the prince was bedridden and unwilling to attend court, it was even simpler. Shi Qing directly used the jade pendant as a lure, and Zhongjing had no choice but to compromise and drag his tired body to complete the lessons arranged by Shi Qing every day.

There are many neutral parties among the court officials, as well as people who support Concubine Yu and Prince Xiaoyao.

Seeing that the prince suddenly became diligent and all his previous problems disappeared, he gradually became alert.

King Xiaoyao and Xuanyuan Heng had never gotten along, so naturally they didn't want Shi Qing to achieve any merit in front of the emperor, so they began to impeach Shi Qing during court proceedings.

All the civil and military officials present only heard King Xiaoyao speak coldly.

"The Crown Prince is the future heir to the throne, how can you allow a little girl to abuse her body? Your Majesty, how can a woman be the Emperor's tutor?

I do not look down on women, but Shi Qing is a woman from the harem, so she should behave like a good wife and take care of her husband and children in the harem.

How can you be so outrageous? Won't you just be laughed at by others?"

There was sarcasm in King Xiaoyao's eyes. He had looked down on Shi Qing at first, but who would have thought that she would secretly make him fall.

Although someone from the Shi family took the blame for him, the emperor did not trace the case back to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, but Shi Qing cut off his source of income, so he would never let this woman be so free.

All the civil and military officials remained silent. Shi Xiaoyun's face was gloomy. This King Xiaoyao really held a grudge and even wanted to frame his sister.

Good, he remembered!

King Xiaoyao had many followers in the court. When he spoke, several of them quickly agreed and criticized Shi Qing at the same time, as if what she had done was very evil.

"Your Majesty, the prince is right. There are many people in the court who are qualified to be your highness's teacher. Why do you have to appoint a marquis' wife? Is it just because of Ning An Marquis? This..."

The person who spoke was Duke Cui, and he glanced at the silent Xuanyuan Heng.

Emperor Mingde looked at the court officials calmly. He did not express any opinion, but spoke in a deep voice.

"My dear ministers, if you have any ideas, why not just raise them directly?"

Shi Xiaoyun bowed and stepped out of the group. Regardless of his colleagues' attempts to stop him, he looked up at King Xiaoyao without fear, and then spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what you said is inappropriate. My sister is indeed a marquis' wife, but her contributions cannot be erased. Even if she has other identities, she was the one who taught me my studies with great care before she got married.

As for the results, you have all seen it. My sister has always been kind and virtuous. If she is not suitable to be the prince's teacher, why has the prince never mentioned it?

It was the prince who convicted my sister with just a few words. Was he taking advantage of my sister because she was a woman? But my lord, although women are weak, they are not as strong and powerful as men.

However, you were also born of a woman, weren't you?"

Shi Xiaoyun spoke with reason and evidence, which thwarted all of King Xiaoyao's plans. King Xiaoyao had a gloomy face and said nothing, but just snorted coldly, and no one knew what he meant.

King Xiaoyao scoffed, "Perhaps you're just bluffing because you're lucky. If your sister has real talent, why doesn't she use it herself? She really loves to show off."

Xuanyuan Heng sneered and responded calmly.

"My wife is a brilliant writer with a sharp mind, known throughout the capital. I wonder why Prince Xiaoyao is targeting my wife like this? I'm just a humble woman, so why can't His Majesty tolerate her?"

King Xiaoyao's smile gradually froze, obviously his true feelings were exposed. He turned his face away and was unwilling to say another word to Xuanyuan Heng.

The prince arrived late for court that day, so when he arrived, he just happened to hear the confrontation between King Xiaoyao and Shi Xiaoyun.

Although he felt a little tired during this period, he inexplicably felt that the physical fatigue he had felt in the past was gradually disappearing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Prince Zhongjing was wearing court robes today, a nine-clawed python robe, and a jade crown on his head. He looked very handsome and had lost a lot of weight. He looked much better than before when he was bedridden and looked like he was on his last legs.

"I have met my father."

Zhongjing bowed solemnly, and when Emperor Mingde ordered him to stand up, he said respectfully.

"Father, I have been taught by the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an and I know my mistakes. I will take good care of my health and put the people first in the future.

Compared with the sufferings endured by the common people, the pain of missing my parents is not worth mentioning. When my mother was alive, she often taught me to put the people first and wish for peace in the world.

This son has learned from this painful experience and will learn from the wife of Ning'an Marquis in the future. I will be diligent and responsible and will never let my father down again."

Tears glistened in Emperor Mingde's eyes, and he felt relieved that the prince had really grown up.

He sighed deeply, "It's good that the Crown Prince understands my good intentions. Take good care of your health in the future."

Zhongjing nodded and spoke for Shiqing again.

"Although the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an is a woman, she is in no way inferior to a man. I respect you very much and would like to hire you as my wife. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

The prince's words inadvertently slapped King Xiaoyao in the face.

Emperor Mingde was in a good mood. He nodded and said with a smile, "Zhongjing, you have finally grown up. I will do as you wish."

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Mingde ordered the eunuch chief to clean up the school in the East Palace and separate it with a screen, also for the sake of Shi Qing's reputation.

Emperor Mingde was in a good mood and sent many rewards to the Marquis' Mansion. At the same time, he gave Shi Qing a token that allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, which made everyone envious.

As for King Xiaoyao, because he was suspected of having dealings with the Shi family, Emperor Mingde gradually became a little cold towards him and was not as close to him as before.

King Xiaoyao secretly thought that the plan had changed. Losing the emperor's trust was one thing, but the most important thing was losing power. So he secretly ordered someone to deliver a secret letter to the deep palace.

Shi Qing cannot be kept and must die in the deep palace. Her appearance always ruins his plans. King Xiaoyao has had enough and is becoming more and more dissatisfied.

And Concubine Yu is also the best cooperation partner for King Xiaoyao.

The relationship between Shi Qing and the prince became more and more harmonious. With the addition of Shi Xiaoyun, the prince not only recovered faster, but also studied harder.

It took him less than seven days to memorize all the lessons assigned by Shi Qing, and the article he wrote was also very well-researched.
