Chapter 93: Chapter 93: You Do Have Some Skills

As soon as the voice fell, laughter burst out.

Shen Hua looked towards the source of the sound.

It was Ji Ge.

Without any hesitation, Ji Ge jumped onto the horse carriage, from afar he could see Cui Yun and Shen Hua finding it hard to part, their eyes conveyed emotions. Even the air seemed to crackle with sparks!

"Shen! It’s been a few days, your complexion has improved a lot."

To say her lips were red and face powdered, soft as jade and delicate as a flower would not be an exaggeration.

Ji Ge’s clothes were disheveled. There was still lipstick left on him from his escapade with a girl, his hair disheveled too, but fortunately he was handsome, so he didn’t look too shabby. Instead, he looked unrestrained and wilful.

Shen Hua looked at Ji Ge, then at the huge, gleaming plaque behind him, "Did you just... come out?"

"Yeah."

He had stayed at the Canghua Building for several days.

When it came to this matter, Ji Ge was indignant.

"A group of officials suddenly broke in, woke me up, and then threw off my quilt. It was utterly audacious."

If it had been someone else, it might not have been a big deal, but he picked up the demeanor of a prince, who would dare to be presumptuous?

It just had to be Jiang Zhao, from Cui Yun’s side.

That actually made him a bit scared.

"Jiang Zhao wouldn’t dare to act like this unless Cui Yun instructed him. Initially, he didn’t say anything, and seeing the commotion, I thought water had broken out. In a rush and panic, I even forgot to wear my outer robe."

He scampered down the stairs agilely like a monkey.

"However, there are others who were more embarrassed than me, someone even came out bare-bottomed recently. Covering the front but exposing the back, that was truly disgraceful. It’s a pity, Shen, you didn’t see it."

Shen Hua: "..."

After leaving the Canghua Building, upon inquiring, only then did he realize that Le Jia had disappeared and then reappeared. While he was at the Canghua Building drowning his sorrows day and night, he was oblivious to it.

The outside world is truly fascinating.

Ji Ge: "I thought it was something serious to warrant such a large-scale response."

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, almost desperate to vent it all out.

Shen Hua was so stunned that she nearly forgot to eat her bun, "Isn’t this matter big enough?"

Ji Ge nonchalantly, "The Emperor’s consort went missing, it’s not like there was a fire in my backyard."

In his opinion, the Emperor deserved it. During the palace banquet, as swift as the speed was of conferring the title of consort, so painful was the slap in the face he received.

What goes around comes around—no one else is to blame.

"Seventh brother, watch your words!"

Ji Wang, who arrived upon hearing the news, scolded.

His brows furrowed, and his gaze landed on the lipstick mark on Ji Ge’s robe, "Look at the state of you now! Idling every day and gossiping irresponsibly about your elders, and with your attire so improper, you’re really losing face, how is this presentable?"

It was as if Ji Ge was being reduced to nothing.

The sense of superiority made him look down on Ji Ge.

But after all, Ji Ge was more pleasing to the eye than Crown Prince Ji Zhui. This is also why he was willing to stop here and take up the responsibility of teaching.

"Disappointing! If Father knew, I’m afraid no one could protect you!"

"Reflect well on this!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and walked forward.

Everyone in the Ministry of Justice knew he was the Fourth Prince. Without any hesitation, they respectfully let him in.

The commotion here soon caught everyone’s attention.

Due to the Imperial Family’s dignity, no one dared to gossip in front of Ji Ge, but those prying eyes were intense as a raging fire.

Shen Hua blinked her eyes.

This time she finally caught the correct wording.

She stared intently at Ji Ge, "You are a Prince?"

Ji Ge, despite his thick-skinned nature, felt uncomfortable with the accusation.

"Hmm."

He never received the Holy Favour, nor has he ever enjoyed a bit of father-son affection. Emperor He criticized him for being stupid, but he didn’t know that the tutors at the Imperial College only focused on the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

Emperor He also reproached him for not being concerned about state affairs, yet he forgot that it was he who didn’t allow this son to be involved in politics.

Ji Ge didn’t know from what perspective Ji Wang despised him.

Shen Hua had long known that Ji Ge was not ordinary, and at the moment, she was only slightly surprised.

Her eyes curved, "You really..."

She searched for the right words.

Ji Ge had a bad feeling.

And sure enough.

The girl said four words.

"Really good at reincarnating."

Ji Ge: ...Thank you, I did have a good laugh.

It doesn’t feel that sad anymore~

The only ones who could berate Ji Ge like this must be the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince. Although Shen Hua doesn’t know who it was just now, she sincerely says,

"He was too harsh."

The scolding was excessive too.

It was the first time Ji Ge heard someone criticize Ji Wang. It inevitably felt novel to him,

"Why do you say that?"

Shen Hua spoke softly, "My Mama always says I’m naughty, but even when I make mistakes, she never criticizes my faults in front of others. She is patient and tirelessly teaches me how to conduct myself in the world, making it clear to me where exactly I went wrong."

Mama once said.

—Nobody is born wicked. Constant blaming will only lead to self-loathing. If you make mistakes, Mama would rather teach you patiently over time. After a while, wouldn’t you recognize and rectify your mistakes?

Shen Hua: "If they truly think you’re hopeless, they might as well take you away and beat you in private, rather than diminishing you to dust in front of everyone and tormenting you like that."

Ji Ge, a Prince in his own right, maintained his pride.

Ji Ge was moved by what he heard.

He even felt an impulse to treat Shen Hua with great care and consideration from now on.

Right, right.

It’s Ji Wang who overdoes it.

Even Emperor He doesn’t interfere with him, why should Ji Wang interfere?

If he really cared, why doesn’t he step forward to help him whenever he gets into trouble?

Such pretense!!!

Yet, over the years, every time Ji Wang scolded him as useless, it seemed right in the eyes of others, and nobody ever perceived anything wrong. They even praised Ji Wang for being like a true elder brother.

Shen Hua: "You may be unruly, but you have your strengths!"

Ji Ge’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Yes!

He values relationships deeply!

Even knowing that Cui Yun was not good, he was willing to set aside past grievances and befriend him.

Even though, Cui Yun hardly paid him any attention.

Shen Hua: "You indeed have some skills."

Ji Ge! He had been rarely praised in his life!

He couldn’t help but grin broadly.

Shen Hua looked at Ji Ge with admiration.

"Others may end up disheveled, but you managed to cover yourself up and mock him."

"It shows your quick reaction when you went downstairs."

Ji Ge: ???

"If there is ever real danger, you would most certainly survive without harm."

Shen Hua then stretches her neck to peek inside: "Why is there still no movement, the Marquis has been in there for quite a while."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips.

No movement is the biggest movement of all.

Meanwhile, Ji Wang strides up to the second floor. At a room doorway, he sees an official guarding,

Canghua Building no longer echoed its past clamor.

Ji Wang entered.

"Fourth Prince."

Cui Yun turned around and greeted him calmly.

Ji Wang nodded and looked around. Other than a man who had fainted on the floor, he saw no one else.

"What happened?"

Cui Yun said indifferently, "I don’t know."

Ji Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it’s fake, I suppose..."

Before he could finish, he saw Cui Yun raising his hand.

In his palm was a token.

It was the token specifically given by the Empress on the day of the banquet, allowing entry into the Imperial Palace.

"Found on the couch."

Ji Wang caught his breath.

"Where is the person?"

Cui Yun still had the same two words.

"No one from the Ministry of Justice has seen him."
