RPAGF Chapter 164: The Troublesome Sister
Chapter 164: The Troublesome Sister
Everyone suddenly fell silent. They looked at Xie Liuzheng in surprise. They wondered what was wrong with Master Xie, who was usually hard to describe, and why he acted like a good guy today?
Of course, just because ordinary people don’t dare to say this doesn’t mean that no one else at the scene dares to say it.
"Everyone knows about the affairs of the Ye Palace. They have their own mouths, so why can't they discuss it? Can Master Xie control other people's mouths? It seems a bit unreasonable that you care about Princess Ye so much, right?"
"If you have time, you might as well explain to everyone who the man was who eloped with you in Hua Man Lou last time. I think everyone should be very interested in this."
The person who spoke was Ji Huaiche.
He had a day off today and didn't have to go to the Dali Temple for duty, so he invited three or five friends to go out for a drink.
Unexpectedly, he ran into the scene where Xie Liuzheng was defending Ji Yuntang, and he immediately stood up and mocked him.
Xie Liuzheng raised his eyebrows, a bohemian smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be you, the defeated general. Why are you not going to the Dali Temple to try someone today, but coming here to join in the fun?"
Ji Huaiche's face suddenly darkened, as if he was thinking of something bad in the past, his eyes were so gloomy that tears were about to drip out.
"Xie Liuzheng, don't go too far. If you hadn't deliberately cheated in the last competition, how could I have lost to you?"
As both of them are princes, they are often compared by others. Although Xie Liuzheng is a playboy and eccentric, his status is higher than Ji Huaiche, which makes him very unhappy.
Why can an uneducated thug be able to suppress him?
He is a fifth-rank official in the imperial court, what is Xie Liuzheng?
Doesn't he rely on his good family background and a good father?
Apart from this, how can he compare to me?
A year ago, the two men were hunting in the royal hunting ground. They had fought each other because they both had their eyes on the same wild boar.
And that time, Ji Huaiche lost to Xie Liuzheng, which made him lose face.
The reason was that Xie Liuzheng cheated. When he couldn't beat him, he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and raised it towards Ji Huaiche's eyes.
Such a victory is really unfair and a despicable act.
But it also became an indelible thorn in Ji Huaiche's heart.
Therefore, whenever these two people met, they either mocked or ridiculed each other.
Xie Liuzheng didn't tolerate Ji Huaiche at all. He snorted coldly with a sneer on his face.
"Prince Ji lost, so why bother making excuses for yourself? You are the Right Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, but you are so blind. Do you believe everything others say? Can someone like you who has no ability to think well judge a case for the people?"
"You know very well what position His Highness the Night King holds in the hearts of the people. The public opinion in the capital regarding the Night King's Mansion is so fierce, and not only do you not let anyone suppress it, you even take the lead in stirring up trouble. If someone doesn't know you, they might think you want to see the Night King's Mansion make a fool of itself."
Ji Huaiche frowned, and without thinking, he retorted, "What's it got to do with you?"
Xie Liuzheng opened the folding fan in his hand and sneered, "Why is it none of my business?"
"Princess Ye is my teacher. Her affairs are my affairs. Is it wrong for me to protect my teacher?"
Meng Fan looked at his own prince, with an expression on his face that was hard to describe.
He just learned a song and he already boasted everywhere that Ji Yuntang was his teacher. Is this really okay?
Are you sure that this unreliable prince of their family will not ruin Ji Yuntang's reputation?
As expected, after Xie Liuzheng said that, Ji Huaiche laughed mercilessly at her.
"Xie Liuzheng, you are really going backwards. You can choose anyone else as your master, but you choose her as your master. She is just a country girl, what can she teach you? I'm afraid she is trying to cheat you out of your money, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Xie Liuzheng didn't pay much attention to him. He curled his lips lazily, put one slender jade-like hand on the railing of the restaurant, and looked at Ji Huaiche with a smile.
"What can Princess Ye do? You've finally asked the right person!"
"Princess Ye knows medical skills, do you know them?"
"Princess Ye knows how to cook, can you?"
"Princess Ye knows music, do you know it?"
"Princess Ye knows how to fight, can you?"
"Princess Ye can write poetry, can you?"
"Princess Ye knows how to do business, can you?"
Ji Huaiche: "..."
The six consecutive death questions left him speechless and angry.
He felt that Xie Liuzheng was being unreasonable and trying to disgust him on purpose.
"I am a man, and a man should make great achievements, be on the battlefield, be in the court, help the emperor solve problems, and accomplish great things. What you said are all things that women do. Why does I need to know these?"
Xie Liuzheng met Ji Huaiche's disdainful gaze and said sarcastically: "So, Miss Ji Er is a woman, so doesn't that mean she knows everything that Princess Ye knew?"
"Where is Miss Ji now? Why don't you call her over and let her show us her skills in front of everyone? Let everyone see how she is worse than Princess Ye?"
There were noises of cheering all around him, and when it came to Ji Qingqing, it gave Ji Huaiche a headache.
Ever since he rejected Ji Qingqing in the Dali Temple last time and did not go out to see her, Ji Qingqing seemed to resent him.
These days, Ji Qingqing was confined to the mansion by Marquis Yongning and was not allowed to go out.
No matter how Ji Huaiche tried to please her or knock on her door, she avoided him.
This made Ji Huaiche feel a little uncomfortable. He felt that Ji Qingqing was really too ignorant!
He is a man, a brother, and an official appointed by the court.
He also has his own things to do. He doesn't need to revolve around Ji Qingqing alone, nor does he want to serve her alone.
I was already giving her face by humbled myself to apologize and comfort her. Shouldn't she just walk down the stairs?
Unexpectedly, Ji Qingqing not only refused to see him, but also went even further and said that she didn't want to see him anymore.
This made Ji Huaiche very angry.
On his days off, he would stay at home to eat and play chess with his father, and to appreciate flowers and paint with Ji Qingqing. He would also buy her many small gadgets to make her happy.
But today, Ji Huaiche didn't want to stay at home for long at all. He just wanted to go out and drink to relieve his boredom.
That home had become a mess without anyone noticing. It no longer had the warmth it once had, and he felt subtly depressed.
When Ji Qingqing was mentioned this time, Ji Huaiche didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, he didn't retort to Xie Liuzheng again. Instead, he said something to a few of his friends and turned and left.
Meng Fan was a little surprised and asked: "What happened to Prince Ji? Why do I feel that he is a little emotional?"
"I have touched his sore spot. Don't you see that he doesn't even want to go home now? With such a annoying sister, there is no way he can be happy!" Xie Liuzheng said lazily.
