Hearing these words, my mother Cui couldn't help but patted Cheng Chubi and said, "Don't talk nonsense, that's your Majesty..."
Cheng Chubi laughed and quickly made a serious promise.
"Yes, yes, the child only dares to quibble in front of you, mother. If it is in front of others, of course there will be no disrespect to Your Majesty."
"You child, His Majesty regards you as his nephew. Well, at most, you can only talk to your parents about such grievances."
"Don't worry, mother, my child is not ignorant." Cheng Chubi assured his mother with an honest face.
However, in his heart, Cheng Chubi really couldn't respect the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who had no moral ethics and liked to argue with his juniors.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Cheng Chubi strolled to his courtyard and heard the familiar sound of playing cards coming from inside.
And Deng Chengxin's high-pitched and excited cry when he dropped the bomb made Cheng Chubi feel extremely evil in his heart.
These bastards actually started playing cards themselves, and they didn't even take me as a gentleman seriously.
After Cheng Chubi rushed in, two decks of bamboo cards, three peasants and one landlord began to play.
Because the card he drew had the smallest value, Cheng Da could only squat aside resentfully, waiting for the loser to appear so that he could take a turn.

The next day, Cheng Chubi got up early, washed up, and after eating and drinking, Cheng Chubi wanted to take Deng Chengxin to the Imperial Medical Office.
As a result, the four Geely brothers were not happy with their success. Cheng Chubi had no choice but to let them all follow.
This was the first time that the number of people behind Cheng Chubi's butt could be counted in the palm of a hand.
After rushing into the Imperial Medical Office, Cheng Chubi's reappearance made the officials and doctors in the Imperial Medical Office feel more cordial, and they all saluted and greeted Cheng Chubi enthusiastically.
Cheng Chubi had never experienced such treatment before, but he had only experienced the trouble caused by Zhao Taichang.
It seemed that all the officials and doctors at the Imperial Medical Office suddenly realized that having Cheng Sanlang, a notorious disciple of the Wu family, as their backer was actually a blessing.
After Cheng Chubi walked around the Imperial Medical Office, he quickly arrived outside the classroom dedicated to female doctors.
Listening to the old doctor inside explaining medical books in a docile manner, Cheng Chubi had no choice but to serve as an ancient medical worker.
At least Cheng Chubi felt that ancient medical workers were really powerful. They not only had to specialize in medical knowledge, but also studied medical books.
However, Cheng Chubi had not never read medical books of this era, but with his classical Chinese writing skills, he could only read through "Chu Shi Biao" and "Yueyang Tower" at most.
If he wanted to learn the medical knowledge he needed from the medical books of this era, Cheng Chubi felt that he needed at least a few more years of classical Chinese education.
"Third brother, what are you thinking about?" At this moment, Cheng Chubi suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and there was an angry voice.
After taking a step back, he noticed that Wu Meiniang was already standing in front of him. His vision went dark just now because she raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Oh, I was just thinking about some small issues. Why did you come out?"
"Aren't you here to find me?" Wu Meiniang looked back at the classroom with some displeasure, then looked at Cheng Chubi.
It was because of my kindness that I saw Cheng Sanlang standing in a daze outside the classroom, so I took the initiative to ask for leave and come out to look for you. How dare you not appreciate it?
"Of course I came here specifically to look for you. Let's go to my place and talk about something. I have to ask Mei Niang to do me a favor..."
Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows, raised her hands, walked briskly, and followed Cheng Chubi while asking curiously.
"Oh? I don't know what Third Brother wants Mei Niang to do for you. Could it be that you want to perform another operation on the woman?"
"I may diagnose and treat a woman's eye disease, but I don't know yet whether she needs surgery."
Wu Meiniang tilted her head. "Could it be another young woman?"
Cheng Chubi smacked his lips, thought carefully and gave his answer.
"She is of the same generation as my mother, I think she is a middle-aged woman."
"Middle-aged woman... Third brother, what kind of adjective is this?" Wu Meiniang looked at Cheng Sanlang in confusion.
She had only heard of women and children, old women, girls, and young ladies.
But I have never heard of such a term for middle-aged women. Is it another new vocabulary invented by Cheng Sange?
"Is there any question?" Cheng Chubi looked at Wu Meiniang with a confused look on her face.
"After a person has passed through adolescence, she slowly transitions to middle age. Then she is still a woman, and she is married, so she is naturally a woman.
Putting these situations together, isn’t it a middle-aged woman?”
Wu Mei looked at Cheng Sanlang's matter-of-fact look and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Listening to his explanation, it seems that is really the case...

After entering Cheng Chubi's courtyard and following Brother Cheng into the house, Deng Chengxin quickly served him refreshments before retreating outside and squatting with the four senior brothers.
While drinking tea and eating small cakes, Cheng Chubi first handed over the manuscript of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Deng Chengxin copied during this period to Wu Meiniang.
Only then did he tell Wu Meiniang his purpose of returning to Chang'an this time. After hearing about Cheng Sanlang's big production project.
It took Wu Meiniang a long time to come back to her senses. "Third brother, is it too high-profile for the prince to enter the city with such a big fanfare?"
Cheng Chubi nodded and explained his reasoning.
"It is indeed a bit high-profile, but if it were not so, how could it suppress the discordant voices from both the government and the public."
"After all, the news that His Highness the Crown Prince's foot illness has not been cured for a long time can be said to be known to everyone inside and outside Chang'an. If His Highness the Crown Prince comes to the public and makes such an announcement, those rumors will definitely be self-defeating."
"Furthermore, taking advantage of the popularity of the Three Character Classic and movable type printing.
In order to stabilize the status of His Highness the Crown Prince, I think it is worthwhile even if it means being a little more high-profile."
"The only thing I'm worried about now is His Majesty's attitude."
After hearing Cheng Sanlang's explanation, Wu Meiniang quickly reacted and said thoughtfully.
"So, Third Brother, what you want to do with Mei Niang is that you want me to report it to your Majesty first, and then ask her to come forward and convince Your Majesty to agree?"
"Yes, that's what I have in mind. If I enter the palace, explain to the empress, and then go to find your majesty, it will be too much..."
"Third brother, don't worry. Mei Niang knows what to do. I will report it to Mei Niang after I return to the palace today."
"How about, third brother, you go to the palace again tomorrow, so that you can give the queen some time to digest, and you can also convince your majesty."
Cheng Chubi and Wu Meiniang communicated in a low voice, discussing how to report the matter to Queen Changsun more appropriately.
