Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 360 The children came to surround Xu Jinyu

When the court was dismissed that day, Xu Jinyu was extra careful, for fear of being blocked by the children.

He took a horse-drawn carriage without any markings home, fearing that he would be recognized. However, Xu Jinyu was still blocked by a group of children at his doorstep.

Through the gap in the car curtain, Xu Jinyu roughly counted and found that there were at least thirty children, and each of them had a face full of anger.

“Will I be beaten to death by these kids if I go out?”

"Maybe... no way?" Princess Wuyang answered without any firmness.

She was unwilling to stay in the palace today, because the concubines in the harem came to see her as if she were visiting something rare.

The looks in their eyes, which seemed to be watching a good show, made Princess Wuyang feel uneasy. Even Princess Wuyang's own mother asked her to find a place to hide for a few days, as she thought it was too embarrassing.

Princess Wuyang, who couldn't bear it any longer, had to come to Prince An's Mansion with Xu Jinyu, stay there for a while, and then return to the palace after everything calmed down.

Xu Jinyu: "You said you wouldn't do it, so go out and take a look first."

Wu Yang's eyes widened: "Why would I go out? This is Prince An's Mansion, they are looking for you."

Xu Jinyu: "Wuyang, are we friends?"

"No! We are colleagues at most." Princess Wuyang answered very firmly. She would rather die than let her fellow Taoist die. Right now, her own life is more important.

"Wuyang, I misjudged you. You are such a person!!!" Xu Jinyu almost held Princess Wuyang's hand and cried.

The two of them were whispering in the carriage and were unwilling to be the first to get off, and the children outside finally became impatient.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince An. This boy Xue Chengli wishes to see His Royal Highness Prince An."

Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang in the carriage were stunned for a moment. This polite man didn't seem to be here to cause trouble.

"Go down and take a look." Xu Jinyu raised his eyebrows.

The two got off the carriage and saw the kid named Xue Chengli. Calling him a kid wasn't quite right; he should be called a teenager.

He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, not very tall, but standing there he was like a tall bamboo, with good manners at a young age.

[Xue Chengli, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, could it be that the Minister of Rites also deceived his own grandson, causing him to come to trouble me.]

Princess Wuyang gritted her teeth and tried not to laugh, especially when facing Xue Chengli, a highly praised figure in the capital. Young Master Xue was called the most gentlemanly man in the past decade by gossipers.

She couldn't imagine what the most gentlemanly young master Xue would look like with his tongue stuck on an iron rod. She didn't know whether young master Xue could still maintain his gentlemanly demeanor at that time. The more Princess Wuyang thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh.

[Minister Xue really tricked his grandson, but Xue Chengli saw that his grandfather's expression was a little strange and didn't fall for it. Xue Chengli didn't fall for it, but Xue Chengli's three-year-old sister did. The little girl's tongue got stuck, and she was so scared that she pulled her tongue off the iron rod.]

[The poor little girl had a sore tongue. She hadn’t slept all night and hadn’t eaten all day. She looked so listless. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.]

"Hey~~"

Princess Wuyang sighed in disappointment. It turned out that Young Master Xue’s tongue was not stuck. The good show was over.

[Xue Chengli was angry, and he decided to let his grandfather know what it meant to not do to others what you don't want others to do to you, so he came to me to ask if there was any way to cheat people.]

Princess Wuyang's eyes suddenly lit up. Who said there would be no excitement? Here it comes.

Xu Jinyu, who likes to watch the fun and is not afraid of trouble, was even more excited. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. If she was not afraid of scaring the young man in front of her, she would directly tell this young master Xue how to play a prank on others.

However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

"cough~"

Xu Jinyu coughed lightly: "Mr. Xue, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Just as Xu Jinyu asked, before Xue Chengli could say anything, the children behind him had an outlet for their anger.

"My dad actually coaxed me into licking the pillar, and then after my tongue got stuck, he stood by and laughed at me for being stupid!" This is an angry little fat boy.

"My grandfather said that licking iron rods is a popular thing in Beijing now, and I actually believed it. After my tongue got stuck, my grandfather ignored me and made me sleep with the rod on my tongue for the whole night."

This is a young man dressed in bright colors, and it is obvious that he is a fashion follower. There is also a very obvious mark on his face, which shows that he has been badly cheated.

"My uncle asked several of us brothers to lick the iron stick together. Whoever's tongue was stuck to the stick for the longest time would be rewarded. Then, after our tongues were stuck, he called the whole family to come and see. Whoever cried would be laughed at."

The little boy's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"And I······"

"And I······"

······

Each child angrily told about his or her experiences.

The corners of Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang's mouths twitched as they tried desperately to hold back their laughter.

How can these officials be so immoral and cheat little kids? Don’t they feel guilty?

Just before Xu Jinyu couldn't help himself, Xue Chengli looked back at the angry crowd and shouted, "Shut up! Let me speak."

It was obvious that Xue Chengli had a very high prestige among this group of children. When he shouted, the children all shut up.

"Your Highness Prince An, I heard that you are full of wisdom and ideas. I came to ask you if you have any good ideas to make the elders realize their mistakes?"

The young boy was so polite that Xu Jinyu almost laughed.

[As expected of Xue Weiran’s teacher. Even his speech is so polite. Isn’t it just to take revenge on those elders who cheated him? He is also full of clever ideas. I don’t mind if you say I have many tricks. ]

Xu Jinyu smiled and waved: "Come here, I'll give you some advice, this... that... each of you has a method, repeating it won't work, yours must be kept secret!"

The children who got the ideas left the crowd contentedly and thought about how to implement them. The children who had not heard the ideas yet were almost getting anxious.

“Me… me… and me!”
