The number one rebel of the Great Wu
Chapter 4 The Way to Establish Oneself
"I remember, of course I remember!"
"Such an astonishing article immediately pleased Father Emperor!"
"Those corrupt officials who usually clamor to depose me, the Crown Prince, are now all as if they've lost their parents!"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Xiao Lie immediately perked up.
"I wonder who wrote that policy essay. If I could have this person's assistance, why would I, the Crown Prince, worry about the stability of my position?"
"By the way, my dear consort, has there been any progress on the matter of me asking you to find that gentleman?"
"If I can find this person, I, the Crown Prince, will certainly treat him with the respect due to a teacher, offer him a large sum of money, serve him daily, and obey his every word..."
Before Crown Prince Xiao Lie could finish speaking, a soft chuckle rang out from the side.
Chen Changgeng stood to the side, having thought through all the sad things in his mind, but still couldn't hold back.
Is Xiao Lie out of his mind? Shen Qingci was practically giving him her ID number, how could he not think of that!
"You lackey, what are you laughing at!"
"Do you even think that I, the Crown Prince, am a good-for-nothing?!"
Crown Prince Xiao Lie slammed his fist on the table and stood up instantly, his face extremely grim!
He was about to punish the little eunuch, but had to give up because of Shen Qingci.
Who would have thought he would be so bold, pushing his luck and mocking us to our faces!
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Your Highness, this servant was just thinking that the sow back home is about to give birth, so..."
"Get out! Do you think I'm a fool?!"
Crown Prince Xiao Lie glared angrily, pointed at Chen Changgeng's nose, and began to curse.
"You dog of a servant, don't think that just because you're someone my beloved concubine brought in, I, the Crown Prince, can't punish you!"
"From this moment forward, you'd better get out of here and work in the janitor's quarters, and don't you dare show your face in front of me!"
"If you ever dare to step into this study again, I, the Crown Prince, will break your legs!"
After unleashing a burst of thunderous rage, no one paid any attention.
Shen Qingci merely frowned but remained silent.
Chen Changgeng was overjoyed.
Go to the errand room, away from the prince, less work, more money, and you don't have to risk your life.
Chen Changgeng was so happy to have stumbled upon such a good thing. He could laugh in his dreams.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Chen Changgeng grinned, giving him no chance to back out, and ran out quickly, pulling up his trouser leg.
As soon as she closed the door, Shen Qingci shook her head in disappointment.
"Crown Prince..."
"My beloved concubine, are you going to blame me, the Crown Prince?"
"This isn't my fault at all; it's just that little eunuch who's so infuriating!"
Shen Qingci remained silent for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.
"That policy essay was written by Xiao Gengzi."
"Otherwise, why would I suddenly bring someone into the manor and even specifically ask him to accompany you in your studies?"
In an instant, the air in the study froze. Crown Prince Xiao Lie stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Shen Qingci, his mind filled with questions.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could a lackey like him, who can barely read a few words, possibly produce such exquisite writing!
Shen Qingci stood up and gracefully bowed.
"I have done what I could."
"As for Xiao Gengzi, I leave it to Your Highness to decide. I take my leave."
At this moment, Shen Qingci felt utterly exhausted and had no desire to deal with the Crown Prince anymore.
After a long day of running around and a trip to the prison, all she wanted now was to take a nice shower and change her clothes.
Seeing Shen Qingci leave with a disappointed look, the silent Crown Prince Xiao Lie finally erupted.
He suddenly swept the teacups off the table, kicked the table and chairs in front of him away, and pointed out the window, shouting angrily.
"I refuse to believe it! Without his assistance, I, the Crown Prince, am incapable!"
"I, the Crown Prince, will prove to all of you that even if none of you care about me!"
"This throne still belongs to me, the Crown Prince!"
……
As soon as Chen Changgeng stepped out of the study, he was met with Xiang'er's complicated gaze.
Worry, blame, anger!
"You little eunuch, how could you be so reckless!"
"If it weren't for Her Highness the Crown Princess protecting you, you would have almost lost your head, you know that!"
Xiang'er is very angry!
I repeatedly warned him, but he ignored me and treated my life like a joke!
"Sister Xiang'er, don't be angry. I'm perfectly fine now!"
Chen Changgeng quickly tugged at Xiang'er's sleeve.
Little did she know that he couldn't escape this calamity today.
Shen Qingci, that woman, was supposed to protect me, but she was the real culprit who almost killed me!
Xiang'er gently pulled up her sleeves, glared at Chen Changgeng, and said irritably.
"Being demoted to the janitor's office is no different from being dead."
"The dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the whole mansion are all over there, so just you wait!"
With a forced smile, Chen Changgeng followed Xiang'er toward the storeroom.
Suddenly, the study door behind him creaked open, and Shen Qingci stepped out.
Chen Changgeng glanced at it from the side and immediately began to make plans in his mind.
No, I have to go ask this woman for money later.
Now that the Crown Prince has demoted her to the menial office, what if she turns her back on him?
Money is only real when it's in your own hands.
Besides, the Crown Prince's residence is not a place to stay for long. If you want to run away, you can't do it without some money in your hands!
I've already taken care of things myself, so I'll just ask for whatever amount I can get later!
"Sister Xiang'er, I was brought in by Her Highness the Crown Princess, so the errand office shouldn't make things too difficult for me, right?"
Xiang'er pursed her lips and gave a soft hum.
"That's hard to say. You were personally demoted to the miscellaneous affairs office by the Crown Prince himself."
"No matter how capable Her Highness the Crown Princess is, in this Crown Prince's residence, the most powerful person is still our Crown Prince!"
Chen Changgeng gave a forced, embarrassed smile and went along with the question.
"I just saw that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to dote on the Crown Princess quite a bit."
"Spoil me my foot..."
Speaking of this, Xiang'er clearly had a lot of complaints, but she swallowed them back down.
"It's all because our Crown Princess's family is powerful; otherwise, she would be bullied so much in the Crown Prince's residence!"
"The Shen family is one of the most prominent families in this dynasty, and His Highness's elder brother, Shen Lang, is a Grand General!"
"I heard that if it weren't for the General stationed in the Northwest, the area would have been in complete chaos long ago!"
As Xiang'er spoke, her eyes already revealed a look of admiration.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng understood.
It seems that Shen Qingci and Xiao Lie's marriage is a standard political alliance, with the interests of both families intertwined, even though Shen Qingci is extremely unwilling.
All we can do is try our best to carry this incompetent teammate, the Crown Prince, since we share both glory and ruin!
"General, that sounds really impressive!"
Chen Changgeng stroked his clean chin, his eyes gleaming.
In his eyes, writing and painting were just child's play; to truly achieve something and establish oneself in this chaotic world was the goal.
We must still retain military power!
If I can get in touch with Shen Lang through Shen Qingci in the future, then I will truly have a chance to make a name for myself!
Seeing Chen Changgeng's envious expression, Xiang'er chuckled softly.
"What, you little eunuch, dreaming of becoming a great general?"
"Throughout history, there has never been a case of eunuchs leading troops into battle!"
Seeing the girl's disbelief, Chen Changgeng simply smiled faintly.
Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't.
"When I become a great general, I will definitely redeem you, Sister Xiang'er, from this Crown Prince's residence."
"Follow me in my campaigns, north and south, traversing the entire vast land of my Great Wu!"
Seeing the look of admiration in Xiang'er's eyes just now, Chen Changgeng's promise was simply catering to her desires!
Upon hearing this, Xiang'er blushed slightly and gently pushed Chen Changgeng.
"Redeem me? What would you do with me? Do you expect me to serve you? Keep dreaming!"
"Look, the janitor's office is just ahead. The manager there, Manager Wang, is not someone to be easily fooled!"
"Wait until you've finished the work Manager Wang assigned you, and if you still have the energy, then think about these things!"
