Chapter 401 - Was It Broken? Compensate! (1/2)

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and said, “Uncle, do you have a jade like this? This was what Imperial Grandmother awarded to Uncle just now. I forgot to give it to you! If Imperial Grandmother knows that I have done this wrong, she will probably punish me!”

Prince Cheng pouted slightly with a frozen smile. “So is this jade supposed to be mine? It is my jade that has fallen down. No wonder he looks so carefree.”

No one would believe the so-called punishment!

Everyone knew how much Empress Dowager valued him. She would not punish him just because of a small jade.

“Third brother, Imperial Grandmother has also given Uncle another jade before, but where does this one come from?” Prince Zhou sourly said on the side.

He had known nothing about this jade. He only saw Chu Liuchen playing with it in his hand all the way and thought that he might have found it somewhere else and might just play with it casually.

He did not expect that it was given by Imperial Grandmother, which made him not balanced in his heart.

Actually, he was the most distinguished grandson of Imperial Grandmother. Why would such a sick boy be treated highly? He felt aggrieved in his heart but did not show this on his face. He glanced at Prince Cheng, who seemed to be even more depressed than he was, so he immediately became delighted.

Compared with Prince Cheng who had seen his jade broken, his experiences were much better.

“Imperial Grandmother says that this jade will be given to the girl that Uncle chooses, but now…” Chu Liuchen shook his hand innocently and looked at Prince Cheng sincerely. “Uncle, if there is a jade similar to this, you can use that piece first. After I get home, I will send a few pieces of jade to Uncle as compensation!”

“Compensation? Is the jade that Empress Dowager awards compensable?

Prince Cheng’s hands trembled. Even though he had believed in Buddhism and cultivated self-control for many years, the blue veins could not help but stand out on his temples. He finally managed to suppress his anger and asked someone to clean up the broken pieces. “Two nephews, are you going to accompany me to meet and choose some girls?”

Prince Cheng was also annoyed. He might as well not bring up this matter so as not to make himself angry when thinking about it.

“I dare not say that I will accompany you to choose. However, since I have nothing to do now, I can help Uncle to meet and choose beautiful girls!” Prince Zhou said with a smile. He also saw that Prince Cheng was so angry that he stopped talking about the jade. Wherever this patient went, he would give offense to someone. Even Uncle, who lived a quiet life of inaction, was been irritated to such a degree.

In the past, only his brothers had been irritated, but now it was found that even Prince Cheng, who belonged to the elder generation, was speechless with anger. Thinking of this, Prince Zhou figured it out and was in a good mood.

Before he came, his mother asked him to keep an eye on Prince Cheng and see the Misses of which families he would choose.

It was difficult for Prince Cheng to reject Prince Zhou’s idea. Then he looked at Chu Liuchen and wanted to ask for his opinion!

“Uncle, do you have a place to rest? After resting for a while, I will go to see how Uncle chooses beauties!” Chu Liuchen stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist at the corner of his mouth to cough quietly and then said slowly.

Did he mean that he would come back after taking a break at half time?

Prince Cheng was really speechless, but he also knew that one of them was sent by Empress Dowager, and the other was by Empress. So they would not leave easily.

He immediately asked someone to take Chu Liuchen to rest.

After being interrupted by them, Prince Cheng was not in the mood to further talk about the previous topic, and his eyes fell on the names on the paper that Empress Dowager had given him.

Since it was inevitable for him to choose one wife from these girls, he would naturally choose one whom he was more satisfied with.

“Uncle, which one do you prefer?” Prince Zhou also became interested and leaned over. He shouldered the responsibility of asking for some information, so he certainly wanted to hear Prince Cheng’s opinion.

Prince Cheng was speechless for a moment and he slowly slid his fingers across these names. It was obvious that he could not make up his mind now.

“Uncle, look, I’ve heard that this Miss is very beautiful. How about choosing her?” Prince Zhou enthusiastically pointed out the name of a Miss. This Miss had a good relationship with Empress’ family. “If Prince Cheng can marry this Miss, he will have a closer relationship with me…” thought Prince Zhou.

The place where Chu Liuchen rested was also a pavilion in the garden, which was not far from the one where Prince Cheng was. This pavilion was not as high as the previous one, but when he sat in front of the window, he could still see most of the scenery in the garden. From time to time, several young Misses passed by under the pavilion with laughter.

“Your Highness, what do you think of this place?” Xiqi asked respectfully.

Xiao Xuanzi loosened the back of the wheelchair, stood up, and turned around with picky eyes. Looking around, he reluctantly nodded and said, “Just rest here!”

After that, he waved his hand and said, “Report back to your Prince that he does not need to arrange people for our Prince, lest there be some misunderstandings and inconveniences for you!”

Chu Liuchen had brought a few guards with him. After so many assassinations had happened, no matter which prince went out, he would bring a few accompanying guards with him.

“Yes, yes, I will report to our Prince right now!” Xiqi nodded repeatedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xiao Xuanzi would ask for some guards from him. If Prince Chen had an accident under the protection of the guards of Prince Cheng’s Mansion, then his master Prince Cheng would definitely be blamed.

Different from other princes, Prince Chen was likely to have an accident, which could easily be known from his weak condition. No one knew whether he would suddenly crash.
