Chapter 50

C50 – It Is Normal That They will Not

“After we pass through this prefecture, the rest of the journey will be much easier. We will arrive at the capital in five days, and once we reach the capital, we will no longer have the leisurely life we have now.” Teng Yu lamented, as though he was unwilling to part with such a good day.

They had been walking and stopping for twenty days. The journey which should have taken them half a month to get there had been delayed for twenty days. They had eaten, drank, and received gifts, so they were naturally carefree.

However, Teng Yu’s high profile was not only for the sake of amassing money, but also because he realized that Huo Tian was simple in certain aspects, wanting him to experience the desolation of an official.

Thinking back to their conversation a few days ago, Teng Yu still had not recovered from it.

He remembered that when the two of them were talking about the situation in the court, he had casually asked, “What do you think officials want the most?”

The other party replied, “Raising an official is getting rich! Otherwise, why would everyone in the world want to become an official? “

This answer wasn’t wrong, so he asked again, “What do you think is the most important thing for an official?”

“Holding power! If you can’t even control your rights, then there’s no point in doing so. “

Alright, that’s right. “Then what kind of officials do you think are successful?”

“To be promoted so grandly, and to secretly get rich.” Teng Yu scolded, if the civil officials in the court heard the answer, Huo Tian would definitely drown in their saliva.

“...” “Then how can we tell if an official is good or bad?”

“An obedient official is a good official. No matter how good a disobedient official is, it’s useless.”

“Then if the person in power makes the wrong decision, and some officials still follow the correct method, is that still considered useless?”

Teng Yu also did not understand why he had only taken a fancy to this young man who was not yet weak. There were many aides in his residence and even more Dark Guard with deep cultivation skills.

“Finally, it’s almost time. This bumpy road of mine is about to fall apart. When you ascend to the throne in the future, remember to fix up the government path first. This will benefit the common people.”

This was the first time Yin Xu had seen a mortal on a long journey. Not only was the speed slow, it also required a lot of travel time and effort on the way. The bumpy journey was almost over, and Yin Xu once again experienced the difficulty of being a mortal.

“I have been doing it year after year, but there is not much silver left for me to use in the construction of the road. Most of the officials here have just taken care of their business, and the results are not good.”

Yin Xu looked at him with sympathy and sighed: “Then it must be because your Royal Father is too merciful!”

Teng Yu was unable to explain to him the profound way of governing a country, because in the end, the one who had nothing to say would definitely be him. He made Han Sen keep the box on the table and stood up to say: “It’s getting late, rest early.

“Alright, remember to ask the kitchen to bring some snacks along. I found a pineapple pie that tastes pretty good tonight.”

The corner of Teng Yu’s lips raised as he said with a trace of doting tone: “I’ve already given you instructions long ago, a whole box is enough for you to eat all the way to the capital.”

The two of them talked as they walked into the room. Han Sen and the others were also used to the two masters eating and sleeping together. Furthermore, along the way, they knew that the relationship between the two was extremely pure.

This made the butler heave a sigh of relief. He treated Yin Xu as his own child and definitely didn’t want to see him take the wrong path.

He had thought that the Third Prince liked this youth. Otherwise, how could the Third Prince, who had never liked interacting with others, accept eating with others and sleeping with them for so long? But why hadn’t he made his move yet?

“...” Could it be that he didn’t know how to do it? Steward Han now felt that he had spoken the truth.

He knew better than anyone that Teng Yu was clean about marriage. He had never touched any man or woman, and even the big palace maid, who was sent by the Emperor as a guide for marriage, had been secretly taken care of by him.

Han Sen suddenly felt that he, as the Head Supervisor of the Prince’s Residence, had not done his job well enough to take care of such an important matter. If the Empress was still alive, his highness would have gotten married and had children.

Thus, when Steward Han returned to the capital, he found the “Secret Scriptures of the Soul Devouring Bone”, the “Eighteen Dragon Styles” and other treasures and prepared to properly open them for the Third Prince. As for how the His Highness The Prince would feel when he saw these things, it would all be up to him later.
