Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Speaking of which, Tao Yao has been in Prince Yi's Mansion for several days. All day long, she either sleeps in her room or looks at the blue sky outside the patio in the small courtyard attached to her bedroom. She actually has no idea what Prince Yi's Mansion looks like.

She sat in a wheelchair, being pushed by Chu Huanjun, and walked out of the small courtyard, passed through several long corridors, and bypassed many stone forests and waterside pavilions.

The scenery before my eyes was like a movie scene on a huge screen. Sometimes the bamboo forest was shrouded in mist, and sometimes the road was open with willows and flowers.

When you turn the next corner at the next intersection, the scenery in front of you changes again. There are beautiful gardens and towers, clear water and trees, ingenious gardens and landscapes, and exquisite pavilions and terraces. The scenery is extraordinary and is definitely not something you can see in the courtyard of an ordinary house.

This was the first time that Tao Yao had come out to take a proper look at Chu Huanjun's mansion. She was so excited that her eyes widened - to be exact, she had never seen such a beautiful scenery in her entire life, so she was naturally amazed.

But Chu Huanjun could see these beautiful sights every day and was already tired of them.

Seeing Tao Yao's surprised and admiring expression, he immediately wanted to tease her and said jokingly, "This is a gift my father gave me on my eighteenth birthday. It's a royal garden built by Gongzi Ying, the most famous craftsman in Da Chu. What do you think, Xiao Tao?"

Tao Yao stared at the beautiful scenery ahead, her eyes sparkling as she replied, "It's very big, very wide, and very exquisite."

It's a very crude description, but it also accurately describes the characteristics of this garden.

Chu Huanjun wanted to show off, but was put off by Tao Yao's careless answer. Feeling she was being too perfunctory, he couldn't help but remind her, "Is there no more elegant way to describe it?"

"Look at this clear pool of water, look at these pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner, and then look at these flowers, plants and trees nestled against the mountains and beside the water..."

Tao Yao listened to Chu Huanjun's confusing rhetoric in bewilderment. When he finally fell silent and stared back at her in silence, she couldn't help but chuckle, "You said it very nicely, and your description is very accurate. It's just like what I saw."

She was indeed a fool. Chu Huanjun felt that no matter how much he said to her, it would be like talking to a cow.

Chu Huanjun suddenly felt no longer hungry and pushed his wheelchair to the lawn by the lake.

Tao Yao's character is too vulgar, she needs to be exposed to more elegant things. Chu Huanjun also rolled up his robe and sat on the ground.

The two of them didn't get along, and no one said another word. Tao Yao quietly looked at the scenery in front of her, while Chu Huanjun quietly looked at her.

The whole world became quiet, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks and soil.

Suddenly, Tao Yao asked, "Xiao Chu, I just realized today that your house is so big and spacious. Are you tired of living in it?"

As soon as she asked this question, she regretted it.

Because Chu Huanjun's expression froze in an instant, as if he had heard something very unreasonable.

As if to make amends for herself, or to redeem the silent and awkward situation, Tao Yao quickly added, "No, no... You misunderstood. I'm not saying your house is bad. I'm just curious, how far do you have to walk every day from where you eat to where you sleep? Wouldn't it be tiring to walk like this every day..."

Fortunately, after her addition, Chu Huanjun's expression softened considerably. He smiled and asked, "Why are you suddenly thinking about this?"

Tao Yao thought carefully and answered word by word, "In my opinion, a house only has three functions: eating, bathing, and sleeping. A house that can meet these needs doesn't need to be very big.

For me, a house that can fulfill these three functions is great! Aren’t these three the most important things in life? No matter how big the house is, it’s useless…”

She looked at the lake with a calm gaze and a look of quiet joy on her face, as if she was describing a beautiful wish.

"If I had a small house of my own, where I could eat well, sleep well, and keep myself clean and tidy every day...it would be a dream life."

This was the first time Chu Huanjun heard this kind of argument and he found it very novel.

He grew up in the palace, and his idea of ​​a mansion has always been that the bigger and more magnificent the better.

From the emperor, they had to build dragon towers and phoenix palaces to show the majesty of the royal family; from the officials to the ministers, they had to seek fame and fortune to obtain luxurious houses to show their power and status.

Where you live and what kind of house you live in is a symbol of status, and many people are willing to pay any price to obtain it.

Not to mention the powerful people in the government and the country, there are countless poor people all over the world who have transformed themselves and studied hard for half their lives in order to gain fame and fortune. No one is willing to live in poverty, and everyone is trying their best to climb up.

It is rare to find such a strange person like Tao Yao who only loves a small square house, a bowl of porridge and a pair of worn shoes to live in this world.

Chu Huanjun looked at her with a new respect and said with a smile, "Your idea is quite unusual. Do you think my house is too extravagant? Well - you're right, I've had this idea for a long time. Since you don't like it, I'll go see my father another day and find a reasonable excuse to ask him to raze Prince Yi's Mansion and turn it into farmland to distribute to the people. Then I can build a small house..."

"no no!"

Tao Yao seemed to have suddenly thought of something terrifying, and explained in a panic, "Don't get me wrong, I'm a poor man, so my vision isn't as high and far-sighted as yours. I just sighed a little, and I absolutely have no intention of interfering in other people's affairs, let alone coveting..."

The next words got stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them anymore.

Tao Yao cursed herself inwardly. Why didn't she remember the motto of keeping a normal mindset? Now, she panicked and almost said the wrong thing...

Tao Yao secretly observed the changes in Chu Huanjun's expression and wanted to quickly find another topic to jump to.

Chu Huanjun couldn't help but hold on to him and refused to let go: "What are you thinking about?"

He smiled, his face pleasant. If Tao Yao hadn't witnessed her sinister and hateful nature recently, she wouldn't be so flustered as she is now.

It would be fine if he didn't laugh, but once he laughed, he must have evil intentions and wanted to kill people.

I don’t even dream of marrying you, living under the same roof, and deciding together whether the house should be big or small.

Tao Yao blamed herself for always being influenced by the foreseen future and forgetting that the present is only the present.

Nothing had happened between her and him. It was pure and innocent, without any relationship or ties.

"I would never dream of owning a house of my own with my lowly, inferior status."

Fortunately, Tao Yao was quick-witted and quickly made up an excuse to get away with it.
