What An Audacious And Sly Servant! Chapter 39

In this chapter, Chu Xun is being a total stupid jerk here…. Aaaand, it's kinda been a long time issue but this translation project is not edited (editor got lazy around chapter 12) so there will be errors here and there. Thanks to those that correct me and thanks for bearing with my amateur work.

When Mei Qian Deng returned to the palace, she immediately told Chu Xun about the betting. After pondering over reasons and connection, she wasn't sure how to say about it. What if Chu Xun didn't buy it, didn't make up with her and even looked down on her for stealing credits? What should she do? The female warrior rubbed her nose. Or why not just leave it? In any case, after two days Chu Xun would find out.

"Young Master! Young Master! This is bad!" She had just walked through the Ming Jue Palace's door when Xiao Jing Zi rushed over like a sky rocket and pulled Mei Qian Deng's clothes, his face as if the sky was collapsing.

Mei Qian Deng flicked away Xiao Jing Zi's paws. "Is Crown Prince unwilling to eat again?"

Xiao Jing Zi shook his head. He personally thought, this time the Crown Prince didn't lost his head from hunger but had nothing to do after eating full. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Nucai doesn't not know why His Highness Crown Prince got offended, wanting to drive Young Master out of the palace. Earlier, he ordered nucai to pack up Young Master's belongings. After packing up, throw all out of the imperial palace including the person!"

En, this matter was quite huge.

"Did I offend Crown Prince recently?" Mei Qian Deng wasn't so sure.

Xiao Jing Zi seriously pondered for a moment. With a solemn face he replied, "There's none!" Recently, he didn't know why the Crown Prince was sulking at Young Master Mei, didn't even acknowledge Young Master Mei much. His eyeb.a.l.l.s turned one round. "Maybe His Highness Crown Prince's anger had not disappear? Young Master, when you saved His Highness Crown Prince, did you do anything that anger Crown Prince?" If not, why would His Highness have a cold war with Young Master Mei for such a long time……

Female warrior Mei had nothing to be conscious of so she shook her head repeatedly.

"Ai, why don't Young Master talk nicely with His Highness? His Highness too is just having a fit of anger. If he really want to chase Young Master out of the imperial palace, the Emperor will never agree."

Hence, Xiao Jing Zi's paws hooked on Mei Qian Deng's arm again, pulling female warrior towards Chu Xun's room and knocked.

The door had just been opened when Chu Xun's anger mixed with resentment rushed and hit Mei Qian Deng's face. Mei Qian Deng frowned. She could strongly feel His Highness Crown Prince's unceasing torrent of negative feelings. Chu Xun widened his eyes, he hated his eye signal unable to transform into two small leather whip and whip Mei Qian Deng to death.

"What are you coming here for?"

"……" What am I coming here for? Mei Qian Deng had no words to reply for a moment.

Chu Xun flipped out. "Is the door of this Crown Prince's room available to be knocked by just anyone?! Do you believe this Crown Prince will let people to chop your hands?!"

"Mencius once said: A man of character is the best in being benevolent."

"……" This time, it was Chu Xun's turn to have no words to retort.

The green veins at the edge of his forehead bulged and beat repeatedly. He felt his brain hurt a bit. His eyes were quite dizzy. He actually never thought when this boor opened the mouth, he would be sprayed with a sentence from Mencius. He really, really wanted to give Mei Qian Deng a beating but his reason told him, this was a stupid move. In the end, the Crown Prince beautifully flipped a white eye and quickly prepared to shut the door at the same time.

This boor, this audacious servant, really ought to be out of sight, out of mind!

A slender, long hand used lightning speed to stubbornly block the door from closing, leaving a small gap. Mei Qian Deng wanted to put more strength and open the door while Chu Xun desperately obstructed her, barely turning into a rabbit that bite people when anxious. He really wanted to gnaw Mei Qian Deng's jade hand on the door.

The two of them had a discussion through the gap.

"Xiao Jing Zi said, you want to drive me out?"

"Correct!"

"Why do you want to drive me out?"

Chu Xun got choke off. He actually could hear some grievance from Mei Qian Deng's question. This person is a famous person in jianghu, the Seventh Young Master from Mei family, man of character and even have strong martial arts. You're not suitable to have grievance at all! But Chu Xun was moved by the grievance in Mei Qian Deng's words. A guilty feeling suddenly appeared, making him felt as if he had just bullied Mei Qian Deng.

Chu Xun was someone who prideful. Although his heart softened, his neck was still straightened. He said, "This Crown Prince just don't like you, just don't want to see you. Go, go as far as possible, return to your Mei Zi Zhou Tou."

Mei Qian Deng suddenly retracted the strength in her hands, this led to Chu Xun one-sidedly lost acting force. With a bang, the door violently closed up, even the roof beam shocked a little and the dust around it fell. Chu Xun nearly got his hand clamped by the door and his head b.u.mped directly at the door. A low bang sound rang.

Ouch!

His Highness Crown Prince grimaced in pain, he wanted to curse.

"Mei Qian Deng!"

"Crown Prince, good bye."

Mei Qian Deng saluted at the tightly closed door, with a turn of her body she left.

Chu Xun had an impulse to open the door and make a tantrum before calling the person back. But he simply endured it. Go immediately, only after going away would he be peaceful, humph!

If asked from where His Highness Crown Prince's anger towards Mei Qian Deng from.

One of the origins made Chu Xun humiliated.

When the Emperor got news that Seventh Young Master Mei got chased out of the imperial palace by the Crown Prince in the middle of the night, he immediately adjourned the court. He then called over Chu Xun to question face to face. At first, Chu Xun was not willing to say. The Emperor got furious and threw the ink slab from the table onto Chu Xun's forehead. It broke his skin and trace of blood flowed down from his smooth forehead.

"You as the Crown Prince, how can you be this rash and wilful?"

Chu Xun bit his teeth, he didn't understand.

"Mei family has a very high position in jianghu. With Seventh Young Master Mei a.s.sisting you, it's only advantageous for you without any harm. The reason behind it, it can't be you don't understand?"

"It can't be if erchen want to rule stably in the future, erchen can only rely on one Mei family?!"

The Emperor was stupefied. He never thought the usually obedient Crown Prince would refute him. Following that, he furiously slapped the imperial table. His finger pointing at Chu Xun's face, "With your current stupid form, it's useless even if there are one hundred Mei families helping you!"

Chu Xun's face turned away. If he was stupid then he was stupid. In any case, he didn't want Mei Qian Deng be Crown Prince's study partner.

The Emperor was still scolding him, "Previously, when zhen saw you are always pretending, zhen still think you are a future emperor material. Why that Mei child arrived not too long yet you had been pampered until you don't even know how to put superficial show and directly drive him away? Do you know right now how the court and the people are discussing about you this Crown Prince?! Why don't you just throw yourself away too?!"

Chu Xun got giddy a bit from the scolding. He had gotten used to pampering from Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. They never said harsh words to him before. Indeed, he knew too, he was never scolded because he had a sense of propriety, because he knew how to be Crown Prince. What sort of place was the imperial palace? It was said to be as deep as a sea but in reality, various kinds of informers could be found everywhere. Numerous people were watching the palace fight show and court fight show.

In this land, there was never a wall that didn't leak.

At the moment, Chu Xun felt regretful a bit. He shouldn't throw tantrum at Mei Qian Deng. If he wanted to throw tantrum, he should close the door and threw it at her. The current situation, the damage was done already. But His Highness Crown Prince frowned. Opening his mouth, he complained, "How can what he did be called as pampering me……" This Crown Prince is not even Mei Qian Deng's concubine, from where the 'pampering' comes from?!

"Explain properly to zhen, why you want to drive away Mei Qian Deng?!" The Emperor's anger had yet to be quenched.

"Not used seeing him," Chu Xun half-heartedly replied.

"You think zhen will believe that reason of yours?"

Chu Xun straightened his neck again, unwilling to say anything.

"If you still don't say it, do you believe zhen will summon people over and hit you until your b.u.t.t blooms?"

"Then, Imperial Father should just hit erchen to death! In any case, erchen is originally a child from extra birth!"

"What sort of words are you using?!"

Chu Xun raised his head, his pretty eyes stared at Imperial Father in front of the imperial table. Then, he resumed being silent, childishly behaving like he was in lot of grief.

After all, he was the Emperor, intelligent and wise, after the Emperor thought to himself for a short while, he had a guess. He probed Chu Xun, "It can't be you heard some gossips about Mei family? Why among the various distinguished families in the land, zhen just had to choose Mei family member to enter the imperial palace to be your study partner?"

A certain person twitched, his old dad guessed it right.

The Emperor saw his son's small movements and hence got the bottom of it. Sure enough, there was someone used that year's matter to make a fuss. For this zhen's stupid son to be fooled. He really wanted to remove the shoe and smash Chu Xun's beautiful face with it.

The Emperor coldly sneered. "Xun er, as someone born in the imperial family, the biggest taboo is to use emotion to do things. In other words, you can't be too emotional. Do you understand zhen's meaning?"

Reporting to Imperial Father, erchen doesn't understand!

Zhen believes you can understand.

"Return and face the wall while thinking about your mistakes. When you have understand, come and see zhen again. This matter, just make the best after the mistake."

Mei Qian Deng stayed a night next door to her eldest brother and sister-in-law. Early morning on the second day, after the Emperor finished scolding Chu Xun, he sent people to bring her back to the palace. Mei Qian Deng didn't say much as she followed the eunuch from the palace and returned.

Coincidentally, on the way she came across Di Mu Yang who rushed over after hearing the news. Di Mu Yang tightly gripped Mei Qian Deng's arms. "Little Young Master Mei! Why Crown Prince drove you out of the imperial palace?"

Every day, Little General Di would worry whether the Crown Prince would have just a brawl, small fight or small noise only with Little Young Master Mei. At most, he would worry whether the Crown Prince would flip out. But he would never thought His Highness Crown Prince would actually drive Mei Qian Deng out of the palace. It definitely was not a simple matter of just fighting.

"Crown Prince heard people say about the old, previous years ago matter."

"What it has to do with you?"

Mei Qian Deng frowned slightly. She too felt this matter didn't have much to do with her.

That was last night after Mo Biao recited the exact story that she heard from Zhu Li to Mei Qian Deng.

Chu Xun had heard it, the matter of the Empress went to Mei Zi Zhou Tou to pray for son that year. It was said that for the Empress to be able to give birth to the Crown Prince, it was all thanks to Mei family. It was due to this that Mei Qian Deng was invited into the palace to be the Crown Prince's study partner. This was still acceptable. Yet among the gossips, there was one slandering Mei Qian Deng secretly ridiculed the Crown Prince for being more smug and narcissistic than girls. That was because during that year, the Empress brought back a packed Chun Yang Spring water from Mei Zi Zhou Tou but the Emperor despised it and only drank half of it. Due to that, a feminine and tender Crown Prince was born.

Chu Xun was a very prideful person. To suddenly hear such hearsays, it was natural for him to be angry. It just that no one would think he would be this angry.

Say, where did this huge anger of his come from? Even Mei Qian Deng could see clearly this was someone deliberately sowing discord, how come the self-declared peerless and highly intelligent Crown Prince got tricked by it.

Mei Qian Deng shook her head and lamented, "Maybe usually I had offended Crown Prince and he had kept it inside his heart for a very long time……" Really? When is it actually? I don't think I have ever do such audacious things though!
