Chapter 14

When it comes to preparation, in fact, Wen Ji has nothing to prepare.

The original owner is a poor person. When he came to the East Palace he did not bring many things hence he couldn’t bring much things out of the east palace.

The next day, early in the morning, Wen Chi got up.

Ruo Tao packed a few simple things for him, including a few cakes packed in food boxes—these cakes were made by Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang last night and the cakes were cut squarely and of the same size. Although the heavy cream smeared on the outside is still not well-proportioned, with the decoration of mangoes cut into small pieces, it also gives a sense of irregular beauty.

Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang were very reluctant to send Wen Chi away.

Ping An didn’t like chattering like the two little girls did. He bowed slightly and walked behind him without saying a word.

In the past, Wen Chi didn’t know about it and never felt that there was anything between Ping An and Ruo Tao. Now that he pays attention to it, only to realize that Ping An seems to be a little shy about Ruo Tao, whenever Ruo Tao speaks, he would shut up. If Ruo Tao was around Wen Chi, he would definitely stay away calmly.

On the other hand, Ruo Tao, the little girl who was still chatting and talking didn’t notice anything wrong. Those big bright eyes were like stars in the night sky, staring straight at Wen Chi, with undisguised enthusiasm and joy.

Wen Chi had to admit that on the surface, Ruo Tao was really a cute little girl.

Maybe because Ping An is a person who seems to have a lot of worries, so even if he does this, Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang don’t see any problem and are very careful to keep their distance from Ping An.

Along the way, Wen Chi was looking at Ruo Tao.

It’s a pity that he still didn’t find anything unusual in Ruo Tao.

When they were about to separate, Wen Chi gave up and quickly put those thoughts behind him.

Outside the palace, Xiao Shuanzi, beside Eunuch Zhu, was quietly waiting beside a carriage.

The carriage was different from ordinary carriages. It looked more atmospheric and luxurious. The golden curtain covered the roof. The horse is a pure black steed. Even Wen Chi, who doesn’t know how to look at horses, can see at a glance that it must be a very valuable horse.

“Young Master Wen.” Xiao Shuanzi bowed his head and said, “The servant is here at the order of His Royal Highness.”

Wen Chi was surprised for a moment: “His Royal Highness?”

“Exactly.” Xiao Shuanzi said, “Young Master Wen, get in the carriage quickly, so as not to delay the time.”

Wen Chi understands what Xiao Shuanzi means, but he still doesn’t understand what the crown prince means – specially arranging a carriage to take him back. This is really not like the style of the crown prince, but more like a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken, full of bad intentions.

But let alone a carriage, even if the crown prince arranged for a prison carriage, Wen Chi had to bite the bullet and get on it.

After he thanked Xiao Shuanzi, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve like Ruo Tao and Ruo Fang usually did and secretly handed it to Xiao Shuanzi.

Xiao Shuanzi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, so he said a few more good words “Young Master Wen, this servant has been serving His Royal Highness for many years, but this is the first time I have seen His Highness take such good care of a person. Young Master Wen doesn’t need to worry about those many concubines in the East Palace, those gaily dressed maidens, because you are the only one who is in the eyes of His Royal Highness.”

Wen Chi took advantage of the situation and said, “Eunuch Shuan, I have something to ask.” 

The short-handed1Short-handed, unable to deal with problems fairly and justly, soft-mouthed, unable to speak frankly according to the facts. If you are short-handed, accept someone’s benefits, you will be controlled by someone, you have to protect someone, protect someone, and do things for someone. The second half of the sentence is “eating people’s mouth softly”. It is often used to warn others not to accept bribes, or benefits that are unclear little Shuanzi hurriedly said. “Please speak, Young Master Wen.”

“I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince lives in the East Palace and rarely goes outside, even those people’s courtyard, is this true?”

“Since this news has reached the ears of Young Master Wen how can it be false?” Xiao Shuanzi laughed, “Not to mention that His Highness stepped into the courtyard of those concubines, now the people in the East Palace go in and out, except for Young Master Wen, who has the privilege of seeing His Highness’s true face every day, other people who have seen His Highness are either dead or disabled.”

Wen Chi was startled, he thought of Yue Shan and the man who was kneeling outside the Crown Prince’s study that day.

Seeing that Wen Chi was silent, Xiao Shuanzi put his hand in front of his lips and lowered his voice: “Young Master Wen still remembers Young Master Yue Gui and the others?”

“Remember.” Wen Chi nodded, “How are they?

“Yesterday they were each beaten with thirty strokes. Someone fainted in the middle of the beating and they woke him up with cold water and continued to beat him and I don’t know if they could survive these few days.” Xiao Shuanzi is used to this and he doesn’t feel anything, “The one who was beaten most heavily is Young Master Yue Gui. Because Young Master Wen you pleaded for him to His Highness, His Highness also specially instructed to only leave Young Master Yue Gui with one last breath.”

Wen Chi: “…”

No one can guess the mind of the foolish prince, 

In the end, Xiao Shuanzi made a concluding remark: “Young Master Wen, as long as you serve His Royal Highness well and give birth to a son for His Royal Highness, you will not have to worry about the difficult journey in the future.”

Wen Chi automatically ignored the topic of childbirth and hesitantly said, “But His Highness is in a high place and I am in a low place, I am satisfied as long as I can look up to His Highness, I am not worthy of His Highness treating me that well ……”

“Hai2嗐 [hài] 叹 expressing sorrow/regret, Young Master Wen, this is not good enough.”  Xiao Shuanzi looked around, then approached and said, “Young Master Wen doesn’t know, His Royal Highness has a sweetheart that he thinks about day and night and he even made a painting of that person. At that time, the servant was grinding ink and saw it clearly. That person had a great resemblance to Young Master  Wen. It’s not too much to say that it was the same person.”

Wen Chi was stunned.

He never dreamed that there was a hidden plot in the plot line of the villainous prince.

He read the novel over and over three times and he can say with certainty that the crown prince in the novel has no sweetheart, he only loves himself.

After Xiao Shuanzi finished speaking, he did not forget to remind Wen Chi tactfully: “This secret is only known to the slave, not even to Eunuch Zhu. This slave risked his life to tell the secret to Young Master Wen, later when Young Master Wen is favored, I hope you will look after this slave.”

Wen Chi nodded blankly. After getting into the carriage, he still hasn’t recovered from the shock.

He didn’t know whether what Xiao Shuanzi said was true or not but after thinking about it, Xiao Shuanzi probably wasn’t bold enough to make up things about the crown prince to fool him and when Xiao Shuanzi talked about the crown prince, the fear in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

So…

the prince is special to him just because he looks like the crown prince’s sweetheart?
