The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 355 Part 1

Chapter 355

The news that the Prefect of Hezhou had been beheaded quickly reached the capital.

Several officials who had been waiting for Xia Jinghong to cool down before pleading for mercy were left dumbfounded. Well, no need to plead anymore. 

Just as a kingdom cannot be without a ruler, a prefecture cannot be without a leader. After deliberation among the court officials, Xia Jinghong decided to transfer the Deputy Prefect of Shangyang to Hezhou.

Around noon, the twins were relatively calm. But in the evening, when Fang Zichen and Guaizai came home and touched Zhao Ger's belly, as soon as they said a few words, the two little guys would react strongly—as if they knew their father and big brother were back. They seemed to have ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). 

Sometimes Fang Zichen thought they might be staging a martial arts fight inside Zhao Ger's belly, or perhaps the two brothers were bickering and coming to blows. Sometimes, Zhao Ger's belly would visibly shift—one moment a tiny footprint poking out, the next a small fist about the size of a quail egg. It was almost like a scene from a horror movie.

Chapter 8

When Lin Xiao left the palace, he had initially thought of trying to persuade the Empress Dowager a bit more. Qi Junmu was the emperor now, and the blood of Emperor Jing flowed in his veins. If there were a rift between the Empress Dowager and him, it would not only look bad but also give those with ulterior motives something to exploit.

In Lin Xiao's view, those with ulterior motives included the dull and foolish Prince Rui, Qi Junyan; the world-renowned Prince Ping, Qi Junyou; and even Qi Junzhuo, whose reputation was so obscure that people called him an omen of misfortune.

Chapter 354

The children hadn't slept enough, so lessons were a complete daze. In the morning, Grand Tutor Ji would lecture and explain, and in the afternoon, he'd have them recite and copy texts. Most couldn't memorize the passages even after the whole afternoon. Those who did manage stumbled through haltingly. It wasn't that they were slow—they were just low on energy. Without any sense of urgency or proper atmosphere, they were basically just going through the motions. 

Every morning, Guaizai was the only one full of life in the classroom. The others looked completely wilted, as if they hadn't eaten for days and had no strength left.

Qi Junmu stood upright where he was and gave a faint, neither light nor heavy, acknowledgment.

Qi Junmu's action caught Lin Xiao off guard—and the Empress Dowager even more so. As a subject, Lin Xiao couldn't let too many emotions show on his face. The Empress Dowager was startled for a moment, then her face filled with fury.

Her hands gripped the armrests of her chair. She said, "The Emperor has grown up. He has his own ideas and finds me tiresome. He doesn't listen to my words and doesn't care to keep them in mind."

The eldest prince, along with the other princes, the left chancellor's son, and the children from the Minister of Rites' household, all got along very well with Guaizai. Guaizai didn't slack on his studies either. At first, since he was just a village kid who didn't know any better, he thought the lotus flowers in the imperial garden and pond were like wildflowers by the roadside—not worth much and perfectly fine to pick. That wasn't really mischief, just him and the princes messing around.

Later, Fang Zichen explained things to him, and he understood. He learned that Emperor Xia Jinghong had planted those flowers because he liked them.

Chapter 7

The purpose of Qi Junmu's trip out of the palace was to make his intentions clear to Shen Nian and, at the same time, confirm Shen Nian's reaction and attitude. Compared to that, he didn't care at all about how Shen Nian handled his family affairs.

He had given all the face that was due. Whatever Shen Nian wanted to do next was Shen Nian's own business.

Qi Junmu only wanted one outcome: he wanted Shen Nian to become a blade in his hand.
