Male God Strategy System - Chapter 273
The palace where the third prince Xia Houyu lived was called Qianyi palace, which was the most remote place from the emperor’s residence in the whole Daxia palace. Although it is remote, there are also 12 houses in six in six out in a regular way, but they are so dilapidated that even Chen Jia can’t see it.
He groped for the room where Zhong Liqing lived. Zhong Liqing entered the palace as Xia Houyu’s companion, but it has only been three days. Xia Houyu was ill two days ago. Today is their first meeting. Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhong Liqing had no contact with Xia Houyu. After all, she came through modern times. If she showed anything different from Zhong Liqing in her contact with Xia Houyu, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
It is also because of Xia Houyu’s character that Chen Jia will be so cautious. It is difficult to win Xia Houyu’s trust. At this time, it is really impossible to have a little suspicion.
Therefore, Chen Jia touched her room at night and dared not sleep like this. She began to imitate Zhong Liqing’s speech and behavior by using the data given by the system.
Zhong Liqing, the youngest son of the Marquis, also has a legendary life experience. It is said that when the young master was four years old, he went out from the dog hole to play. As a result, he was kidnapped and trafficked by human traffickers. After ten years of wandering, he was accidentally found by the people of the Marquis two years ago. Unfortunately, his father Zhong Lixin saw him only once, he was trapped by criminals and died in unjust prison.
The emperor read that he was loyal to the Zhongli family, which did not involve women and children, but his two sons were ordered not to enter the dynasty as officials forever. Although this will does not win the title, it is no different from winning the title. Therefore, Zhong Li’s family has plummeted and everyone is in danger. No one cares about his youngest son’s entering the palace as a companion to the prince.
Seeing this, Chen Jia felt that Zhong Liqing’s disappearance for ten years had made it much easier for him to act. If there was anything difficult to explain in the future, she lied that she learned it when she disappeared, including medical skills.
Outsiders know little about Zhong Liqing’s character. Only master Jiang has inadvertently seen Zhong Liqing arguing with people in the street. He feels that the child has aura. In addition, he can’t bear to see Zhong Liqing’s family decline from now on, which brings Zhong Liqing into the palace.
Chen Jia finds out Zhong Liqing’s life experience and confirms that she has not missed anything before she falls asleep at ease.
The ancients had little entertainment at night. They used to go to bed early and get up early. When the chicken crowed three times, Chen Jia woke up naturally. It was still dawn outside, and the sound of watchmaking had echoed on the palace wall.
Chen Jia counted Geng Sheng. Knowing that it was time to go to the nonsense Pavilion for class, she quickly got up. When Zhong Liqing came into the palace, his luggage was also very simple, but only three sets of single clothes and three sets of cotton clothes. He randomly chose an ink robe and put it on. People in the Xia Dynasty had wide sleeves and wide robes. However, Zhong Liqing felt that he was not used to it. It was more convenient to tie the cuffs with coarse cloth.
He hurriedly changed his clothes and went out of the house. He just met Xia Houyu coming out of the main hall.
He is still surprisingly thin. In the solar term just entering the autumn, there is some cold dew in the morning, but it is not cold. Chen Jia is only wearing a single suit, but Xia Houyu has put on a cloak. Xia Houyu didn’t look up at him. Maybe he was too lazy to give him eyes, or maybe his weak body made him unable to devote energy to do it.
Chen Jia prefers to believe the latter.
Xia Houyu’s pace is not very stable, but it is better than yesterday. He walked slowly in front of Chen Jia. Chen Jia noticed that his cloak was crooked and half of it was windy.
Chen Jia subconsciously stretched out her hand to help him tidy up his cloak. Xia Houyu suddenly looked back in amazement, as if she had been stabbed, and her movements were startled and busy!
“Bold!” Xia Houyu snapped out.
Chen Jia was stunned and explained, “I just want to help you tidy up your cloak…”
Xia Hou Yu said with a cold face, “get away! I don’t see you serving tea and water in the morning. What kind of hospitality do you come here at this time?! if you want to curry favor with the prince and find yourself an official career, it’s better to use snacks on other princes, hum!”
Xia Houyu finished and moved away.
Chen Jia looked at his back. He had just worn it for two days. What he saw most was Xia Houyu’s back, a lonely and stubborn back.
What kind of environment does this person live in? The kindness given by others at will will will be regarded as a plot by him. His curse is really a special expose. He knows that Zhong Li’s son is ordered not to be an official forever. He also deliberately satirizes that he wants to find an official career for himself.
Alas! Chen Jia stood where she was and sighed three times before she took a heavy step forward.
He didn’t dare to surpass Xia Houyu for fear of touching her sensitive nerves again. He didn’t dare to let Xia Houyu know that he had been following him. He had to walk two steps and stop one step with light hands and feet. When he knew that Xia Houyu had entered the classroom, he changed direction and came late.
As expected, Mr. Jiang severely reprimanded him. He was full of nonsense to the effect that he was greedy for sleep and lazy in his homework. Anyway, Chen Jia’s ancient saying was shallow and half understood.
This day’s class is the same as the day before. There is nothing special. Xia Hou Yu sits at her desk all day. During the break, she will never go out to play, but stare at the book in her hand. Chen Jia is not the same as the other princes who come to class, so she can only sit alone on the desk and peek at Xia Houyu from time to time.
After looking at it, he found that there was not a drop of tea on Xia Houyu’s table.
Mr. Jiang taught carefully, saying that the sages of his ancestors had to read and recite them day by day. Therefore, they had read the sages’ books all morning. Even Chen Jia felt that her throat was smoking and drank a pot of tea, but Xia Houyu didn’t move a drop.
He glanced at Xia Houyu’s lips and found that his lips were dry and peeling. At first, he thought it was caused by disease. Now, it should be simply because Xia Houyu doesn’t like drinking water.
Why? Are you afraid of being poisonous in the water?
Chen Jia took back her eyes and looked around the nonsense Pavilion. Although it was a pavilion with air on all sides, it was located in an independent courtyard in the imperial palace. It was obviously a place specially trained to give lessons to the princes. In addition to the pavilion for reading, the scenery outside is very beautiful, and all meals are served by servants.
Chen Jia noticed that several princes had already gathered on the cold table to eat cakes. Seeing here, he couldn’t help touching his belly – he didn’t seem to have eaten since last night?
Where’s Xia Houyu? Chen Jia didn’t hear anyone coming in and out of the Qianyi hall last night or this morning. The third prince doesn’t cook by himself, does he? Chen Jia remembered clearly that there was only one kitchen in Qianyi hall, not even firewood. Where was the kitchen?
Xia Houyu doesn’t eat or drink. What is this? Are you going to starve yourself before you die?
At this time, Xia Houyu’s belly grumbled. The sound was so loud that Chen Jia couldn’t pretend she couldn’t hear it!
There were only two of them in the pavilion, and the atmosphere became extremely embarrassing for a time. Xia Houyu’s face was Muran cold, and her bony hand almost crushed the book in her hand!
Seeing this, Chen Jia quickly stood up and said, “ah, why does my stomach scream so loud? I must be hungry, ha ha… I’ll find something to eat…” he said, and ran out of the nonsense Pavilion as if he had escaped.
Chen Jia: it’s clearly Xia Houyu’s belly cry, but she wants to top the pot QAQ
