C177 – Sacrificing
When Tang Yue woke up the next day, he felt weak all over. It was as if his body had been squeezed dry. His head was throbbing in pain.
He opened his eyes and touched his body. He felt a warm body. He suddenly felt energized. “What time is it?”
Crown Prince Zhao should have gone to the magistrate office in the morning. A capable person should have more work to do. It was a person like him.
“It’s time. There’s nothing important today. Please rest for a day.”
Tang Yue turned his body and pressed one of his legs against his stomach, rubbing against it. In that case, Crown Prince might as well go and make some breakfast for this young master.”
Crown Prince Zhao reached out and touched his leg. Unsurprisingly, he felt the hair on his leg. However, Tang Yue’s hair was thinner and thinner than other men of the same age. He felt the itch in his palm.
Crown Prince Zhao ignored the word “do.” He asked, “What do you want to eat?” It was not his turn to cook in the huge Crown Prince Residence.
“Noodles, strips.” Tang Yue slowly spat out two words.
Ever since he had flour at home, Tang Yue had cooked noodles several times. He did not know how to make the noodles because he did not know how to roll the noodles. However, he did mention to Crown Prince Zhao that the method was not difficult. What was important was the process of rolling the noodles.
Crown Prince Zhao thought about it and kissed him on the forehead. “Wait.”
Seeing him get off the bed, revealing the tall and fair body of the young man, his perky butt facing him, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Tang Yue thought to himself, This appearance, this figure, he was actually pressed under his body every time. This is truly a waste of God’s gifts!
Crown Prince Zhao did not know that he was flirting with him. He put on his clothes and turned back to look at him. He stared at him for a few seconds, making sure that he did not remember the person he met last night. Only then did he feel relieved.
But did Tang Yue really not remember? When Crown Prince Zhao walked out of the room, Tang Yue smiled. He really thought that he was the most confused last night. Could it be that he saw a beautiful young man at his house? His first reaction was definitely not surprise, nor admiration. It was just that everyone loved beauty. He just wanted to give Crown Prince Zhao a try.
He called for someone to bring water in and took a quick shower. Then, he picked a brand new dark red dress and changed into it. His hair was tied up with a jade crown. Although his appearance was still ordinary, it could not hide the imposing manner of his body.
He took out a jade pendant that was entirely green and hung it on Tang Yue’s belt. Seeing that he was dressed so neatly, he asked curiously, “young master, are you going out?”
When he passed by the kitchen and saw that Crown Prince had ordered his servants to work independently in the kitchen, he thought that young master would not go out today. At least, he would not go out before lunch.
“It’s fine. It’s just that the weather is good. Let’s take a walk in the garden.” Tang Yue walked out of the door and stretched before heading to the front yard.
Last night, they met in the front yard. The housekeeper also said that the man was in the front yard. They might as well go and see what kind of person he was. They would not know until they got to know him.
He did not doubt Crown Prince Zhao, but Tang Yue would not think that he would be able to live the rest of his life safely in such a high school prefecture.
It would be abnormal if he did not have all kinds of people with all kinds of goals.
When he went to the front yard to ask someone, he was told that the young man had left the manor early in the morning.
“When did he leave?” Tang Yue asked with a smile on his face.
All the servants in the Crown Prince’s Palace liked Crown Princess. Other than being a man, there was nothing wrong with her.
A small steward in the front yard answered respectfully, “It was about the beginning of the day. He carried a bag and left. He must have gone back to his hometown.”
“Oh? Where is he from? What’s his name?”
“This servant doesn’t know either. He didn’t stay in the residence for long. He said that he was saved by His Highness on the way and was recuperating in the residence. There was only one servant to take care of him, so no one cared.”
What a joke! How could he let someone else eat what his man made for the first time? Don’t even think about it!
After handing the empty bowl to Wang Dingjun, Tang Yue asked with a bitter face. “Is His Highness satisfied now?”
Wang Dingjun’s expression showed indescribable sympathy. He said meaningfully, “If young master is fine, go back to his room. His Highness is probably waiting for you.”
“Who said I am fine?” Tang Yue pointed at the young man opposite him. “I heard Ziyu is good at playing. I wanted to ask for advice.”
Wang Dingjun thought, “You know nothing about music. Are you sure you don’t play to a cow?
“I wonder if Ziyu is willing to play a song?”
The young man’s eyes were brimming with energy, and his eyes were overflowing with light. His joyful appearance added a bit of lust into the air. He made a bow and said, “This is my honor!”
The pleasant sound of the zither soon came from the room. Wang Dingjun could not stay any longer. He quickly went back to report and exaggerated the situation. It really made Crown Prince Zhao’s face darken.
“Your Highness, are you not going to take care of it?” Wang Dingjun admitted that he was trying to fan the flames. He had no choice. His days were too boring. This pair of husbands mixed oil in honey and hurt single dogs. It was good to watch them change their expressions occasionally.
“I saved them all. What do you care?” Was he going to rush to the front yard to catch Tang Yue and tell him that he could not get close to the musician?
“Check the background of this musician again. Don’t let Crown Princess be deceived by others.” Crown Prince Zhao gritted his teeth and ordered.
Wang Dingjun was not stupid. He knew what he meant. Even if this young man was not interested, he would turn into someone else. Otherwise, His Highness would not have an excuse to chase him out.
The sound of the zither in the front yard rang for a long time. Many people were fascinated by it. The young man’s zither skills were indeed impressive. Even the advisor who was good at the zither could not help but praise him when he heard it.
Tang Yue, on the other hand, listened to the music with his head full of irritation for a long time. How could he appreciate such an elegant and profound art? It would be more appropriate for him to hit the bowl with a needle.
Therefore, when he left the front yard, he felt dizzy. His head was heavy and his feet were light, and his ears were buzzing.
“He’s really asking for trouble.” Tang Yue laughed at himself.
When he left, the young man who was sitting in the room quietly put the zither aside. He got up and walked around the yard. When he passed by the wall, he quietly threw a handkerchief in the corner of the wall and left as if nothing had happened.
In First Prince Prefecture, Old Prince happily shared the results with Wang Zixu, “This kid from the Tang Family really can’t resist the temptation. He lost his three souls and six souls the moment they met.”
“I still have to congratulate Uncle Wang for his plan.” Wang Zixu said happily and then asked, “Do you really think it will work? The two of them did not get along with each other. What good will it do us?”
Old Prince stroked his beard. “Does His Highness not know Tang Yue’s ability? With such a mysterious doctor by his side, the Crown Prince’s life is no longer in danger.”
“Is it really that amazing?”
Has Your Highness never heard of State Protector’s Wife’s matter? Crown Princess being able to come back from the dead is no longer a secret. Adding the power of Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion, Crown Prince Zhao marrying a male wife is definitely more beneficial than detrimental.
“So what if we are separated from their relationship?”
“Think about it, Your Highness. That Tang Yue is not a woman in a deep room. He also has a miraculous medical skill. How could he be willing to guard the backyard? As long as he leaves the Crown Prince’s Palace, the Crown Prince and Yueyang Marquis will definitely become enemies. Not only has the Crown Prince lost a helper, he has also formed a new enmity. This is definitely a big problem for him.”
“That’s true. But are you confident that Tang Yue will abandon the Crown Prince and become a musician?”
“As a man, no matter what, there will always be a side to him. As long as it affects him bit by bit, there is nothing impossible.” Old Prince answered confidently.
That’s true. That Ziyu was personally trained by me. If it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to deal with the Crown Prince, I wouldn’t be able to bear to part with this beautiful woman. That Tang Yue is really lucky. When he falls into my hands, hmph!” Wang Zixu stared viciously at the table, as if he wanted to cut Tang Yue into pieces.
The corner of Old Prince’s mouth curled up. He really didn’t take First Prince’s petty look. What was the point of sacrificing one or two people to achieve great things?
