Chapter 120

C120 – I’m Rich!

Tang Yue had found a few peppermint plants, so he planted them in his own yard. Every day, he would pick a few of them and chew on them. Once Crown Prince Zhao smelled them, he also planted a few in his own yard.

Tang Yue smelled the fresh taste in his mouth, and unknowingly fell into this deep kiss.

“Stay away from Lord Xin Ling from now on.” Crown Prince Zhao panted as he told Tang Yue.

Tang Yue pushed him away and bent his back to calm the restlessness in his body. Men were sensitive creatures, especially in certain parts of their lower bodies. They could not be controlled by reason.

“Why... why should I stay away from him?”

Crown Prince Zhao touched his red cheeks. Warm fingers and abdominal currents connected to Tang Yue’s red and swollen lips. It almost caused Tang Yue’s rationality to collapse.

“This person is lecherous, and he eats both men and women. It’s better for you to stay away from him since you’re so unprepared.”

Tang Yue smiled. Of course, he knew that Lord Xin Ling was lecherous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have opened up a manor and kept so many dancers for him to have fun with other young masters. However, he had just found out that Lord Xin Ling was a man and a woman.

He pointed at his own face and asked, “With my looks, Lord Xin Ling might not be able to take a fancy to me.” Otherwise, he would not be full of sarcasm when he saw him.

“That’s for the best. Just let Zhao appreciate your beauty alone.” Crown Prince Zhao lowered his head and kissed Tang Yue’s cheek and eyelids. His gentle movements and loving gaze caused Tang Yue to involuntarily sink into it.

Tang Yue’s heart was beating faster and faster. He knew that it was not caused by physical impulses, but by the throbbing of his heart.

He thought to himself. It’s over, it’s over. I’m probably going to die in this kid’s hands for the rest of my life. What should I do?

“What are you thinking about?” Crown Prince Zhao bit his earlobe. Tang Yue shivered and almost jumped out of the car.

“Nothing...” Tang Yue touched his earlobe and looked away. His heart rate could not calm down.

The carriage stopped at some point. Tang Yue pulled the curtains and looked outside. Only then did he realize that they had arrived outside the second gate of the Crown Prince’s Palace. There were dozens of guards and servants standing around quietly. However, the large courtyard was completely silent.

This was the feeling that the Crown Prince’s Palace gave him. It was solemn, disciplined, and like a well-trained army. It was a strong and upright atmosphere.

“Get out of the car. I’ll take you to see where you’ll be staying in the future.” Crown Prince Zhao jumped off the carriage and turned around to pull Tang Yue out of the carriage. Tang Yue quickly pushed his hand away and jumped off the carriage himself.

What a joke! How could a man like him let his opponent do such a thing? Did he even want to lose his face?

Even if he could not ask for the fate of getting married in the future, he would not allow himself to develop in the direction of a sissy.

The two of them walked side by side into the yard. Tang Yue had only taken one step and could not walk anymore. Was... was this still the crown prince’s residence that he was familiar with?

It had only been a dozen days since he entered this door. Why did it feel like time and space had changed?

Tang Yue had come to this courtyard before. Furthermore, Crown Prince Zhao had clearly stated that this would be their new house. He had even shown him the drawings, but why didn’t he know that the remodeled courtyard would look like this?

There were small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. It was as if this place had suddenly entered another world, and the style had changed so much that Tang Yue did not even recognize the Crown Prince Residence.

Tang Yue did not expect him to know either. A teenager was locked up in the Palace before he was ten years old to learn literature and practice martial arts. After he was ten years old, he went to fight and kill enemies. He did not have time to learn anything else. If he could even understand this, then he would really be a genius among geniuses.

“It’s fine as long as someone understands.” As the ruler of a country, one did not need to understand everything, as long as one was good at using people.

Crown Prince Zhao shook his head. “How many officials in the court know about agriculture? Who among the noble children can farm and grow vegetables? I don’t know how to do that.”

That’s true. No old farmer has the ability to become an official in the court. Officials are the messenger between the emperor and the people. They are the bridge that they communicate with. But if this bridge does not reach the shore, then the two sides will not be connected.

Tang Yue patted his shoulder subconsciously and comforted him, “Don’t worry. You will become a wise ruler for a generation.” He had this intention, this temperament, and this rare ability. He would definitely succeed when the time and place were favorable to him.

Crown Prince Zhao glanced at the hand on his shoulder and stretched out his hand to cover it. “With you, I will have confidence.”

Tang Yue’s mouth twitched. He pulled his hand out and shook it. “Ahem, I think we should wait until after the wedding. Of course, don’t think that you can pay less after saying so many nice words.”

Crown Prince Zhao pulled him to a bookshelf and took out a book from the shelf in the fourth row. The bookcase made a dull sound and opened a door.

Tang Yue was stunned, but he was not surprised. He just felt that this kind of mechanism was too common and needed to be replaced.

“Your Highness wants to bring me in?” It was better not to. There must be many secrets hidden in this kind of secret room. It was better not to help.

However, Crown Prince Zhao clearly did not intend to make him retreat. He pulled his hand and dragged him in.

Tang Yue was still curious and excited. He had never been to such a mysterious place before. What he saw in movies and television before was definitely not as vivid as what he saw in person.

Behind the door was a flight of stairs that went down. It was about the height of a floor. It was dark when they went down. Tang Yue could only rely on Crown Prince Zhao’s lead to stumble forward.

After walking for about a minute, Tang Yue could not help but ask, “Why didn’t His Highness bring a fire clip down?”

Holding his hand tightly, Tang Yue’s reply came from the darkness. “Isn’t this better? In a place where there is no light at all, they can hear each other’s breathing and feel the temperature of their palms. There is a feeling of being supported by each other.”

Tang Yue was defeated by his reason. He wanted to shake off his hand and shout at him. “I want to fucking forget about the martial world with you now!”

As if sensing Tang Yue’s strong disdain, Crown Prince Zhao touched the wall for a while. Just when Tang Yue thought he could light up the next moment, Tang Yue found a torch. He blew it and lit the oil lamp on the wall. The weak light illuminated a small area beside them.

“...” Tang Yue despised himself in his heart. He had watched too many movies. He thought there were electric lights here. He could light up the entire passage with a single slap. It was truly harmful.

He walked a few steps forward and found a big stone house. It was still dark. Crown Prince Zhao lit each oil lamp to light up the house.

From the moment he could see things, Tang Yue was stunned. He stared straight ahead without blinking.

He thought that he had seen enough treasures in the betrothal gifts from Crown Prince Zhao and the dowry prepared by Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion, but compared to the scene in front of him, he was much more low-key.

It was not that there was more money here, it was just that looking at the boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry piled up in a mess gave him a strong visual impact.

“These will all be yours from now on.” Crown Prince Zhao stood behind Tang Yue.

Tang Yue thought to himself, No wonder modern women like to take charge of their husbands’ pay cards. No wonder people say that the sweetest thing in the world is that you can buy whatever you want. I have money!
