Chapter 1,108 Acting to the depths of nature is true
Maybe this is too much pressure leading to a premature rebound?
Cao Zhi is not as calm as Cao Ang, nor as forbearing as Cao Pi. He is a scholar who likes freedom and yearns for a free and unrestrained life.
To say that he is Cao Cao's son is just to add a fixed title to him, and this title is like a forbidden spell, which has firmly locked his words and deeds since his birth.
Everyone has hobbies. Old farmers who work in the fields may like to enjoy the evening breeze and drink home-brewed rice wine after a day's work.
The high-ranking princes and ministers may just like to call their friends and play some marbles on the ground in their spare time.
As long as hobbies are allowed in this era, there will be no distinction between high and low.
But... restraining hobbies and hiding hobbies really goes against a person's instinct.
You can't hide your love for something. Cao Zhi has been hiding it for so many years, trying to pretend to be a good baby in front of Cao Cao, but what's the result?
Cao Cao was keenly aware of his problem. Even people like Yang Xiu knew Cao Zhi's wailing after a brief contact with him.
Well, specifically, if you have that kind of capital, who wouldn’t love her?
But Cao Cao was indeed not a qualified father. The pressure he put on Cao Zhi forced Cao Zhi to bury this hobby deeply. His title of Cao Cao's son also made him afraid to communicate with anyone with whom he did not have close friendships.
After being backlogged for too long, Cao Zhi finally took this opportunity to explode.
Or is it that Cao Cao was not a good father, but he was a very keen ruler?
He doesn't know how to educate, but he knows his son well.
But... the question now is not whether Cao Cao is responsible.
But——
——
After Cao Zhi's declaration, he completely entered the "state".
Compared with Yi Xiaotian's pure heart, the dandy feeling of hugging Cao Zhi after he sat down was really superficial.
Yi Xiaotian was surprised, but he could only smile helplessly - he didn't lie. He didn't really care who among the young masters Cao Pi, Cao Ang, and Cao Zhi became Cao Cao's orthodox heir.
All I can say is that he did lose the bet he made with Mr. Hao.
So... the shock was only for a moment. He was very happy to see Cao Zhi. Although the scene was not very beautiful, Yi Xiaotian had no intention of interfering.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk - that's all, let's go up quickly."
Yi Xiaotian shook his head and invited the girls to go upstairs. Here, Sun Shangxiang and Huang Yueying covered each other's eyes shyly, and ran up jumping up and down. They seemed to be frightened by the beautiful spring night scene.
But...compared to Yi Xiaotian's side, there is actually one person who is in an extremely bad mood.
Yang Xiu... is standing in front of the restaurant now - because the restaurant is completely contracted by Yi Xiaotian, he can only look inside and does not dare to break in easily.
But…
At the end of the stretch of the road without any obstacles, Yang Xiuna could see clearly what Cao Zhi was doing.
With just one glance, Yang Xiu realized the problem:
Yang Xiu, whose mind had been extremely clear since just now, deduced the most likely answer in just one glance and a moment.
But...the problem is that it would be better not to push it out. Once it is pushed out, combined with his current dilemma, he can only be anxious - isn't this torture?
Yi Xiaotian went upstairs, and in the banquet hall on the first floor of the restaurant, only Cao Pi was entangled with a group of graceful, graceful and swaying beautiful women.
Some of them stayed close to Cao Zhi and kept feeding him wine, while others were kneaded by Cao Zhi wantonly.
Cao Zhi himself was completely immersed in it, and his ecstatic eyes had long exposed his empty mind at the moment.
But even in this situation, under the stimulation of gentle words, Cao Zhi was still able to speak clearly——
What about "the sleeves are bare and the hands are bare, and the bright wrists are like gold rings", and what about "the robe is fluttering, the light train is returned by the wind".
Compared with his own mentality when he wrote this poem in another time and space, Cao Zhi now is truly carefree, praising the beauty in front of him without reservation.
At this time, Cao Zhi's eyes never left the three feet in front of him. How could he notice Yang Xiu in the distance, who was baring his teeth and claws at this moment, trying to attract his attention with exaggerated movements?
Yes - Yang Xiu had exhausted all means. Even if he was regarded as a fool by the passers-by, he still struggled to twist his body and try to attract Cao Zhi's attention.
But... the final result is still in vain.
The guards in front of him were strong and sharp, with cold eyes. Yang Xiu had no doubt that if he tried to force his way in, these people would definitely capture him on the spot.
In short, just when I was desperate, time passed bit by bit.
——
At the same time, Cao Pi, who also experienced the same trial in Ye City, was completely different.
The same process - Xun Yu took Cao Pi to Dongshi.
Unlike Cao Zhi who was so reserved on the road, Cao Pi tried his best to use his brain and follow Xun Yu's peach blossoms.
Of course, the result can be imagined. If Xun Yu didn't want to say anything, Cao Pi would only be wasting his efforts.
But... it was Xun Yu's attitude that made Cao Pi even more alert.
After getting off the car, he saw Bai Huahua's body - Cao Pi was standing quietly under the bustling restaurant in Dongshi.
Ignoring the embrace of the beauty in front of him, Cao Pi stood there like a strong pine. He turned to look at Xun Yu aside and asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty...what are you..."
"Second Young Master, don't be nervous. No matter what you do here today, no one will blame you."
The key...compared to Yi Xiaotian's devilish whispers, Xun Yu has a business-like atmosphere when doing this kind of thing.
Cao Pi, who was already on guard, thought quickly, and after a while, he relaxed - he wasn't really relaxed, but he planned to show it to Xun Yu.
Because he realized that this was most likely a test given to him by Cao Cao. In any case, his behavior could not be weird in any way - too restrained and inappropriate, but too indulgent - unless he did not want to be the heir.
How can this be?
All in all - under the full performance, Cao Pi's situation is obviously completely different from Cao Zhi's indulgence.
Cao Pi himself is older, and even when performing, his actions are extremely natural. He exchanges cups with the beauties around him, but his movements are always orderly.
He can also compose poems, but the content of his poems is often extremely restrained.
A banquet at a beauty's house was turned into a simple and elegant literary and singing party by Cao Pi, which made Xun Yu, who had been watching by the side, quite moved.
Because he felt that even if Cao Pi was acting, at least in the future, with the supervision of his ministers, Cao Pi would definitely be able to be a competent ruler in front of others.
So he also quietly followed and observed outside the restaurant, but Cui Yan was in a much better mood than Yang Xiu.
"My lord...he is really the one who achieves great things..."
