As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 40 Crown Prince Xiao Zhengyang

"Want to learn?"

The old ghost in the family did not tell him not to teach the technique to others.

Of course, even if I reminded him, Mingchen probably wouldn't listen.

"kindness."

Xiudie looked straight into Mingchen's eyes and nodded continuously.

The child never wanted to trouble Mingchen.

This was the first time she wanted it so badly.

"Okay~"

Mingchen has actually always been a little curious. What would happen if he didn’t follow the taboos that Laogui said?
But he couldn't use himself as an experiment.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the child, his eyes moving.

but……

He finally lowered himself to the level of Xidie, and withdrew his usual smile. He looked into the child's eyes and said, "But before you learn this, you have to agree to my brother's request."

The child didn't know what Mingchen was thinking, but nodded without hesitation.

Even if her brother doesn't teach her, she will obey any request from him.

"After learning this technique, you must practice diligently."

"However, you can't transform into the appearance of someone you've already met, or even resemble them. You can only rely on your imagination to change your face."

He pointed to his face and spoke in a calm voice.

"kindness."

"Don't change your appearance for too long, no longer than a day at most. If you feel uncomfortable, change it back immediately."

"kindness."

Finally, Mingchen touched the child's ugly face and said gently, "Don't dislike your face, don't forget what you look like."

Mingchen is a fun-loving person.

He was unruly all the way, speaking frivolously and playfully, being unrestrained and wanton, and playing around in the world.

Xiudie rarely saw Mingchen like this.

She was a little distracted, then nodded seriously: "Okay."

"Okay... then brother will teach you!"

……

"Shy Butterfly, slow down, don't be impatient~"

Mingchen looked at the child in front of him, shook his head gently, and said with a smile.

At this moment, if someone else broke into this house, they would probably faint from fright.

Little Chic is really good looking!
There are monsters in here!

The child's face was simply unbelievable, with his eyes, nose, mouth, ears... all his facial features swapped positions.

The eyes are on the mouth, there is a lip on the side of the head where the ears should be, the ears on the nose are slightly trembling, and only one eye is in the right place, not the other way around.

Originally, it was just that my skin was bad and my face hadn't fully developed, so it was a bit ugly.

Now it seems like a horror.

However, Mingchen was stroking the head of his little monster with a smile, not minding the other party's terrifying appearance at all.

No wonder we can see Guo Chongyun,

Apart from his unsightly little face, few words, and dull look... the child's other attributes are all top-notch.

Ling Yu taught her things on the way, and she understood them immediately and became proficient in them quickly.

Now, Mingchen taught her this unorthodox technique, and she learned it very quickly.

At this rate, she would be able to create a normal face that doesn't belong to her in half a month.

Time passed quickly and the sun set.

It was already dark, and Mingchen went to the window to take a look.

Then he said to the child who was fiddling with his face, "Xiudie, brother needs to go out for a while now."

"It's late, go to bed early and stop thinking about these things."

"Fuyao will be back with Grandpa Guo in a while. Don't be nervous. Just tell them if you have anything to say."

It was too ostentatious to carry Guo Chongyun's tattered flag into the city during the day.

Mingchen ignored his cheap teacher's scolding and abandoned him outside the city, asking Fuyao to pick him up at night.

The shy butterfly paused, looked at Mingchen seriously with the eyes that should have been on her mouth, and nodded obediently.

No further questions asked.

Mingchen smiled and rubbed her head. Without saying anything more, he turned and walked out the door without even leaving a time for his return. The child watched him leave quietly until he completely disappeared from sight.

The room was quiet and lonely. Her facial features returned to normal and she went to bed obediently and fell asleep.

Mingchen asked her to rest early, so she rested now.

……

The Prince's Mansion, where the second most noble person in the dynasty lived.

As night falls, the full moon hangs high in the sky, and lanterns sway in the wind. Guards stand guard, patrolling back and forth, safeguarding the safety of this important residence.

Suddenly, a biting cold wind blew past, and a chilling air blew past.

The guard touched his neck, looked at the empty path, and rubbed his eyes.

I'm really tired. I feel like something just passed by.

"Your Highness...it's so late..."

"Please take a rest soon."

"Let's deal with these things tomorrow!"

study,

The lights in the room flickered, illuminating a slightly pale face.

Beside him, a beautiful woman draped a thin blanket over him. Looking at the dark circles under her man's eyes, her pretty brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with heartache.

What he had in his heart was this dynasty, but as a woman, what she had in her heart was only him.

He was only in his thirties, but he already had white hair on his temples. He was so thin, so haggard, and so weak that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

The sign of a stable and mature regime is the presence of a qualified successor.

And Prince Qianyuan Xiao Zhengyang is now the most qualified and perfect successor to Qianyuan.

In terms of identity, the status of the eldest son is undisputed.

In terms of ability, he is diligent, kind, intelligent, wise... He has all the qualities that a wise king should have.

Even in the eyes of many people, the prince is much better than the current emperor.

The emperor, completely absorbed in his pursuit of immortality, barely cares about state affairs, while the powerful cliques below him vie for power, fighting openly and covertly. The crown prince is like a small boat drifting in the ocean, struggling to support and keep the country afloat.

The ministers prepared two copies of their memorials, one of which was sent to the palace, but basically received no response.

The other copy was sent to the Prince's Mansion, where the Prince would handle the complicated matters.

It would be better if... Your Majesty just abdicated and let someone else take over.

But there are some things that should not be said, cannot be said, and dare not be said.

As long as the emperor refuses to die, the prince will always be just the prince.

And while the emperor may not be involved in matters, he holds onto power tightly. Even the crown prince must submit a copy of the required reports to him. No one knows whether he'll read them, but no one dares to gamble. If anyone crosses his path, the secret guards will burst into the house the next day, unleashing a bloody storm.

"It's okay, both of you should go and rest first."

Xiao Zhengyang hadn't slept for two nights, so of course he wanted to rest.

But he can't!

As the person who controls the most national information, Xiao Zhengyang knows clearly what kind of desperate situation Qian Yuan is facing now.

In his position, he seeks his government.

He needs to shoulder the responsibilities that he should shoulder, gather all the information, rationally mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized, and find a way to turn the situation around.

He turned to look at the Crown Princess and forced a smile. He didn't blame her for interrupting his thoughts. His voice was as gentle as ever: "I'll go to rest in a while. You've already been with me for two nights. Don't worry about me. Go and rest first."

"..."

They have been married for more than ten years, and the Crown Princess knows her husband's temper.

She looked at him worriedly, but finally said nothing more.

She pursed her lips and looked up at him seriously: "We agreed that you can rest for a while, and I will be here with you!"

Xiao Zhengyang smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.

Time passes little by little.

After all, I was too tired and too exhausted.

The woman couldn't bear it anymore and slumped in the chair. After a while, she could hear shallow breathing sounds.

Xiao Zhengyang was still buried in the files in front of him, his brain working rapidly.

And at this moment,
"Whoosh~"

Out of nowhere, strange winds blew into the room, extinguishing the bright lights.

In a trance, Xiao Zhengyang seemed to see a vague figure.

"Your Highness, blindly staying up late to review is not a scientific way to learn."
