Chapter 1230: Chapter 36: Joyful Debt (Part 12)_3
"How dare you call the Crown Prince by name?!"
Yuan Hao raised his hand to stop the little eunuch.
He scrutinized Su Yang carefully.
To be able to enter the palace and call his name directly, his identity must be unusual.
"Who are you?" asked Crown Prince Yuan Hao.
Princess Zhaoning also blinked her big black eyes at Su Yang.
"I’m your father’s good brother," Su Yang said.
"...."
Yuan Hao squinted his little eyebrows, "Father said he has no good brothers, only a few bad friends."
Su Yang, "...."
Princess Yinchuan stood aside, watching Yuan Hao and Princess Zhaoning with delight.
However, she promised her Imperial Sister not to reveal her identity as Princess Beimo and couldn’t come forward to acknowledge them.
Fortunately, Princess Jing Shan feared something might go wrong, so she brought Zhao Xu over to take a look.
Zhao Xu solemnly introduced Princess Yinchuan and Su Yang.
One was a distant cousin from the Zhao family.
One was Prince Jing’s adopted son.
No one suspected anyone.
Instead, Yuan Hao stood on the side, looking puzzled.
He was very clear about the Zhao family’s relatives and friends.
The Zhao family had no distant cousins, and Prince Jing didn’t have an adopted son!
But when Father Emperor said so, it was golden words, true or not.
After the introduction, Princess Yinchuan looked at Princess Zhaoning and teased her.
"Zhaoning, this is Aunt," said Princess Jing Shan.
Princess Zhaoning obediently bowed, "Hello, Aunt."
Princess Yinchuan’s heart melted into a puddle of water.
Princess Yinchuan picked up Princess Zhaoning, full of affection.
Princess Zhaoning, holding Princess Yinchuan’s neck, looked at the Empress and said, "Mother, I like this Black Aunt."
Princess Yinchuan, "...."
Princess Jing Shan, "...."
That was a bit of a harsh stab.
Not only did it hurt Princess Yinchuan, but even Su Yang got hurt.
Princess Jing Shan and Zhao Xu exchanged a glance and separated Princess Yinchuan and Su Yang.
Princess Jing Shan and Princess Yinchuan carried Princess Zhaoning away.
Crown Prince Yuan Hao stayed by his Father Emperor, watching Su Yang and Zhao Xu talk.
He could feel that Su Yang wasn’t lying; he really was a good brother of his Father Emperor.
The way he smoothly called him Brother Zhao was seamless.
Crown Prince Yuan Hao looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Father, who is he, really?"
Zhao Xu laughed and said, "He’s the Second Young Master of the East Town Marquis Mansion, whom I’ve mentioned to you many times."
Crown Prince Yuan Hao, "....!!!"
Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion?!
Those few words were like thunder to his ears.
Thanks to him, the past few years had been particularly tough.
Sparks crackled in the bottom of the Crown Prince’s eyes, and Su Yang saw it clearly.
He was a bit confused.
When did he offend this kid?
Su Yang wanted to ask Zhao Xu, but then a eunuch came over and said that Prime Minister Zhao and Prince Jing had arrived.
Prime Minister Zhao suddenly had an extra distant niece, and Prince Jing inexplicably gained an adopted son; they had to take Princess Yinchuan and Su Yang back to the mansion.
The Emperor and Empress dug this pit with great effort; it had to be rounded well to avoid exposure.
Zhao Xu was in a hurry to go to the Imperial Study, leaving Yuan Hao to entertain Su Yang.
As soon as Zhao Xu walked away, Yuan Hao began to scrutinize Su Yang, "Are you really the Second Young Master of the East Town Marquis Mansion?"
"Genuine, without a doubt," Su Yang smiled and said.
"Hmph!" Yuan Hao snorted from his nose.
Su Yang, "...."
He pressed Yuan Hao’s head and said, "Kid, since when did I offend you?"
"You offended me greatly!" Yuan Hao gritted his teeth.
Su Yang frowned.
Yuan Hao was full of anger, and now seeing the real person, he couldn’t hold back, "Father said you had to study, ride horses, practice horse stance, train on the Meihua Pole, and practice hidden weapons when you were seven."
"He asked me to learn more from you!"
Seven years old.
He was only seven years old.
He had to do so much every day; wasn’t he tired?
Mother felt sorry for him and cut half of it, but there was still a lot left!
The Second Young Master of the East Town Marquis Mansion was this psychological shadow of his for several years, someone he gritted his teeth and hated.
If Su Yang didn’t look like someone with very tough skin, he would have bitten him.
Hate it.
Su Yang, "...."
He really didn’t know Zhao Xu used him as an example for the Crown Prince.
Thinking about the past few years, tears shimmered in Yuan Hao’s eyes.
"Did you really have to learn so much when you were seven?" he didn’t believe it.
Even though Father said it himself.
Mother also told him it was true.
But these were too difficult; he had tried, busy from morning to night, and still couldn’t finish all the lessons.
"I heard from Father that besides these, you also had time to go shopping and pick fights?" Yuan Hao said.
"Is this true too?"
"...."
His past was dug up ruthlessly.
Su Yang’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Everything said was true.
But could he nod and admit he used to pick fights when he was young?
Su Yang didn’t deny it, so Yuan Hao assumed he agreed by default.
Yuan Hao’s small eyebrows were tightly knit.
Obviously.
He still didn’t believe it.
Unless he saw it with his own eyes, he certainly wouldn’t believe it.
"Want to see it? That’s easy," Su Yang said with a smile.
He grabbed Yuan Hao’s shoulder, leapt onto a tree, and with a tap of his toes, flew over the lakeshore and onto the palace roof.
At first, Yuan Hao was scared, then shocked, then admiring, then longing.
And then—
The palace guards misunderstood that Su Yang was abducting their Crown Prince and surrounded Su Yang.
Su Yang, "...."
Yuan Hao, "...."
