Chapter 31 Being beaten

"What are you doing? I hope I can serve you rice?" The old man said, putting the dishes on the table in the hall and untied his clothes.

Four dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables are available.

Perhaps it was because he smelled the fragrance, and before the sound of the people arrived, the prince couldn't wait to come in front of him, "It smells so good!"

His eyes flashed with greed, but he didn't do it, just looked at the old man.

"Clean your hands and eat!" the latter said.

After the sound fell, the prince immediately went to clean his hands and sat in front of the table.

Xie Pi came to his senses and went to cleanse his hands.

Looking at the table of dishes, the prince couldn't stop smiling. Although there were dishes and soup in the palace, because his father was thrifty, the most green vegetables they ate in January.

When we arrived here, not only were there fish and meat, but also stewed eggs and matsutake soup.

This is indeed a good place!

The prince thought to himself without raising his head.

The old man raked the last bowl of rice to the prince, and saw that he had used three bowls of rice, and he tickled his heart.

Not big, it's quite edible!

Could it be that the Lord threw him to himself because of this?

Putting the bowl down, the prince touched his stomach contentedly, "This is the best meal I have ever eaten."

The old man glanced at the clean and plain bowls and plates, got up, and left meaningfully, "Go to bed early tonight."

After saying that, he left without waiting for the two of them to answer.

The prince was surprised, "Mr. Xie, why did Mr. Cui let us go to bed earlier?"

Xie Pi glanced at him, "What the teacher said sounds like."

At this time, someone outside reported that the Xie family sent clothes, but he no longer cared about him and left the side hall.

No one knows about the extra noble man in the mansion, except for a few people, and everything is as usual.

The next day, the hour of Mao was right, and the sky lighted up slightly, and the old man appeared outside Xie Pi's door.

"Hmm! I'll stand in the front yard in a quarter of an hour!"

In the room, Xie Pi woke up instantly. He didn't ask much, put on his clothes, washed up and went out.

When he arrived at the front yard, the old man was already waiting. He was wearing a navy blue robe, tied with a linen rope around his waist, and only a sachet was hung.

It looks convenient and refreshing.

Xie Pi had a bad premonition, so he lowered his eyes and looked at his big sleeves.

Although it has been much streamlined compared to usual.

"Where is that boy?" the old man asked.

Uncle Liang, who was standing beside him, responded, "The old slave had already called out before, maybe he was sleeping heavily inside and no one answered."

The old man looked at the sky and saw that it was clear, "Hmph! Go and get the copper ruler."

"Yes..." Uncle Liang turned around and left without any doubt.

Before leaving, the old man glanced at Xie Pi, who hesitated for a while and followed.

In front of the prince's house, the old man was holding his hands behind his back, holding a copper casting ruler that was about three fingers wide.

Xie Pi thought of something and glanced at the copper ruler twice.

The old man pushed the door and opened it with force. The eunuch sleeping on the couch inside was awakened. The old man didn't even look at it, "Get out!"

"This, Mr. Cui, are you..." The eunuch hurriedly put on his clothes and was about to come forward to stop him when he saw Xie Pi looking at him.

"If you don't go out, no one can save you." Xie Pi said lightly.

The eunuch's heart skipped a beat. He saw the copper ruler in the old man's hand, and he was thinking about something, but he actually retreated.

The old man came to the bed and saw the prince's clothes half-exposed, and he slept soundly with his butt sticking out and holding the quilt. He immediately went down to half of his butt with a copper ruler.

With a snap.

"Ah..." The prince was awakened by pain, half open his confused eyes, "Who dares to hit the orphan on his butt..."

The old man looked down at him, "I will stand in the yard every day at Mao hour, and I will be beaten three times later."

After saying that, regardless of how ignorant the prince was, he left the house.

Touching his hot butt, the prince finally woke up, "I dared to hit the butt, and I wanted to tell my father and let him..."

"Your Highness!" Xie Pi interrupted him, "Do you know what the copper ruler the old man used to hit you?"

The prince was angry at this moment, and he didn't care about these things. "I don't care what it is, I want to punish him for his crimes-"

What a hell!

"That was a copper ruler given to the old master by the late emperor. There was a carved top to beat the foolish monarch and a greedy minister under him. Even if there was no imperial carriage, it would be like I came in person!"

No matter how stupid the prince is, he knows what this means.

He looked at Xie Pi in surprise and simply, "What's the point?"

Xie Pi curled his lips, "It means that if the teacher hits you, you have to bear it. Don't talk about you, even if the priest comes, you will not be stopped."

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves in a good mood and left gracefully.

The prince was sitting alone.

When he arrived in the yard, the old man looked at Xie Pi and looked at him, "Have you been in good health on weekdays?"

"Sir, practice for a while."

"Then let's stance start today!"

"...Yes." Xie Pi didn't ask much, and pulled his robe around his waist, squatting honestly.

On the other side, the eunuch was serving the prince to change his clothes and wash his clothes. His movements were much faster than usual, and he was trembling slightly.

The prince was really annoyed.

"You are not afraid of being alone, you are afraid of anything." He pushed him away angrily and put his belt on himself, "You will go back to the palace to report to your father, you are lonely, you are going back!"

"Yes, I'll go now." The eunuch responded quickly, his eyes darkened.

He thought that as long as he could sue the Cui family this time, he could go a step further in front of the prince, but he did not expect that he would not even be able to leave the Dongyuan Gate.

The two Jinyiwei who came with them were guarding the gate.

He held the tone, "You have to think clearly. It is His Royal Highness, the only prince in the lord. If something happens, can you afford it?"

The two Jinyiwei looked at him coldly with expressionless faces. One of them raised his hand and the embroidered spring knife was unsheathed halfway. In an instant, a strand of hair fell down.

The eunuch suddenly froze, and his legs could not stop trembling.

The blade was shining with a cold light under the sun that had just emerged, shining on his pale face.

"The emperor has an order. Without Mr. Cui's order, you and Your Highness are not allowed to leave Dongyuan half a step!" said the Jinyiwei who was exploding the knife.

The prince won't do anything, and they dare not do anything, but he, the little eunuch, is hard to say.

Both of them had this meaning in their eyes, which made the eunuch's face turn blue and white.

He turned around, walked for a while, and looked back at the two of them.

Who do you look down on me?

All of them were waiting for him. One day, he would gain power and would make these people kneel down and become dog envoys.

When he returned to the courtyard, the prince was jumping around with his head in his arms. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he looked like he was looking.

The eunuch shook his head secretly, looked at the old man who was lying on the bamboo chair and pointed to the sky again.

The prince widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Sneaking, stingy."

The two of them were shocked and saw that the old man had opened his eyes and was staring at the eunuch, "You are so idle, just go and pick up feces and throw them on the ground!"
