Chapter 985: Chapter 988: Extra—Training Outside the Palace 2
However, his face did not show any dissatisfaction. "Young master, what are your orders?"
The ten-year-old Chu Lingjun crossed one arm, touched his chin with the other, thought for a moment, and asked, "Father... said I should come to the mortal world and have some experience. What do you think I should do?"
Lu Ming, who had the skill and insight to become his companion, rolled his eyes and replied, "Young master, I think the master means for you to see how the people live outside and to experience the hardships of the mortal world."
"Is that so?" Chu Lingjun squinted his eyes with a half-smile. "But why do I feel like he finds me an eyesore, so he found an excuse to get rid of me?"
Lu Ming applauded inwardly. Your Highness, you are truly clever.
Now that the Empress has successively given birth to a Prince and a Princess, the Imperial Palace no longer holds the Emperor’s place, and he is figuring out ways to send you three siblings away to solidify his own position.
Of course, these things he dared not say directly to the Crown Prince.
"Young master, you must understand the master’s good intentions. He truly wants you to gain experience. More experience can be very helpful to you in the future."
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
Chu Lingjun thought about it and agreed. Since losing favor at the age of three, he had been learning, learning all the time. Luckily, his talents were exceptional, and he quickly mastered everything taught by the Grand Tutor.
Now, it was time to put theory into practice.
However, he really didn’t want to leave the palace! He missed his kind Empress mother, his adorable little sister, the luxurious and comfortable bed of the Eastern Palace, the parrot he raised, he missed... (Why don’t you miss your Emperor father and your Prince brother?)
After a bout of sentimentality, Chu Lingjun suddenly felt hungry. Immediately, he blurted out, "Serve the meal!"
Little Luzi exclaimed, quickly whispering, "Crown Prince, this is not the Imperial Palace. You must be cautious, cautious!"
"Got it, nagging. This young master is hungry. Quickly, take me to eat."
Just then, from twenty meters away, the wonton vendor shouted at the top of his lungs, "Delicious pork and cabbage, beef and cabbage wontons, ten cents a bowl, cheap and tasty, come and try them!"
"Little Luzi, I want pork and cabbage wontons," Chu Lingjun said without thinking.
