The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1296 Youning has a heavy workload

Before Hong Yunrang decided whether to go or not, Huang Chenming came over. Cheng Youning quickly bowed and saluted, then called out respectfully, "Sir!"

"The emperor has ordered that the teacher give you lessons in the palace today!"

"Here?" You know, Cheng Youning usually goes to Huang Chenming's house to attend classes, and rarely goes to his own home. Why did he change to study in the palace today?

Cheng Youning was confused, but didn't dare to say much. He had to say goodbye to Hong Yunrang and follow Huang Chenming.

For some unknown reason, today's homework was particularly heavy. Cheng Youning's morning class, which usually lasted one hour, lasted two hours today, leaving him only a quarter of an hour to rest.

Cheng Youning, who hadn't eaten breakfast, had no idea how many times his stomach had been growling. Finally, the get out of class was over and the old housekeeper appeared again.

Cheng Youning saw that the old butler was a little scared and wondered what instructions the old man wanted to convey.

"The Emperor has ordered this old servant to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Yangxin Palace for dinner!"

Cheng Youning's first reaction was to contradict the old butler. He didn't want to fulfill the old butler's wishes. "I won't go. I'll eat with my master!"

Huang Chenming smiled lightly, "You can go and have lunch with the emperor. The teacher has to rush to the Ministry of Personnel!"

Seeing that his master had to leave in a hurry for something, Cheng Youning had no choice but to follow the old housekeeper. When he arrived, Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu had already sat down at the dining table, probably waiting for him!

"Youning is late. I've kept Grandpa and Grandma waiting for a long time!"

"Please sit down!" The speaker was Wan Lianxing.

Cheng Youning sat obediently in the same seat he had sat last night. As soon as he sat down, he heard Zhong Siyu ask him, "Why did the class take so long today?"

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "I don't know. I always listen to the teacher in class. He teaches the class the way he says. Anyway, I listen to whatever he says!"

While serving soup to the emperor and Cheng Youning, Zhong Siyu said, "Youning, you can't just listen blindly. You should think more and ask more questions!"

"My grandson will ask my master for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand or can't figure out. It's just that there is a problem that bothers my grandson!"

"What's the problem?"

"Sir, your classes are too long, but I can barely accept it. Can you please not give me so much homework after school?"

Zhong Siyu asked, "Is there a lot of homework?"

Cheng Youning frowned and said, "It will take an hour to copy what needs to be written, and an hour to recite what needs to be recited. There are also some that need to be read through. All in all, I don't have to do anything else this afternoon, I'll just recite the books!"

When Zhong Siyu heard this, she realized that the workload was indeed too heavy, so she looked at Wan Lianxing, wanting to see what he meant.

Cheng Youning, who was quick-witted, also looked at Wan Lianxing. He was also waiting for his grandfather to speak, hoping that he would generously exempt him from the homework. However, his grandfather was eating slowly and ignored Cheng Youning's complaints.

Cheng Youning said persistently: "Grandpa, can you please talk to my husband..."

Before Cheng Youning could finish his words, Wan Lianxing interrupted him: "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. Eat well. If you don't eat, you won't have lunch!"

Cheng Youning had been hungry for the whole morning. He got up before dawn to attend court, and after court he was taken away by his teacher Huang Chenming for the whole morning. Just as he had taken a bite of hot food, his grandfather wanted to cancel his meal. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to shut his mouth and dared not say another word.

Afterwards, during the entire meal, the three of them didn't say a word and just ate in silence.

Cheng Youning felt so depressed in such a dead atmosphere. It was the first time that he was in such a bad situation and felt such a sense of crisis. He wanted to escape, but unfortunately there was nowhere to hide. There was no way to avoid it!

Cheng Youning finally waited until his grandfather put down his bowl and chopsticks. Seeing this, he stopped eating and hurriedly followed him down the table. Just when he wanted to communicate further with his grandfather, he was stopped by the old housekeeper, "Your Highness, go study!"

Cheng Youning understood what the old housekeeper meant. He wanted him to go to the school where he had just attended class to copy and memorize the book. However, he was not an obedient child. He was used to resisting. "I'll go back to the Prince's Mansion to write it!"

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. Everything I say is what Your Majesty meant!"

Cheng Youning was so angry that his face turned stern: "You guys are trying to tire me to death!"

"You are the crown prince, who dares to tire you to death? However, today's work is done today, Your Highness, you should go back to study!"

Cheng Youning had no choice but to do as he was told.

Shang Xi, who was far away in Prince Pang's mansion, was restless. "Mom, I'll go to the Crown Prince's mansion to see Cheng Youning!"

Madam Wan immediately corrected Shang Xi: "Shang Xi, Youning's surname is not Cheng, but Wan!"

Shang Xi reached out and slapped his mouth and said, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"

"Daughter-in-law, don't make this mistake again!"

"Mom, I know. I just said that. I will definitely remember it in the future. Mom, I will go to the Prince's Mansion to see Youning!"

"Daughter-in-law, since the child has been adopted by your uncle, we can't interfere too much, otherwise what will your uncle think!"

Shang Xi cursed in her heart, it was Wan Lianxing who stole her son, and she still cared about what he thought, is there no place to seek justice in this society!

Looking at Shang Xi's ugly face, Madam Wan comforted her, "Shang Xi, I know what you are thinking. But let's not delay the child's future. In our hands, the child will be a businessman, and in your uncle's hands, he will be an emperor. The two are one in heaven and the other in hell. This person must go up, and we can't be a stumbling block on Cheng Youning's path to becoming an emperor. Besides, your uncle likes Cheng Youning very much and will never treat him badly!"

Shang Xi found it funny. She really didn’t know how this grandmother could say such things. It seemed like she fainted from crying twice yesterday. How come she came to her senses today?

Madam Wan rolled her eyes at Shang Xi and said, "My daughter-in-law, don't think about it in your heart. If I don't want to be happy, I can still die! Let's not fight with your uncle for what he wants. He is a man who will not give up until he achieves his goal. He is domineering! He has been like this since he was a child. Half of his life has passed, and he is still like this."

Shang Xi continued to curse Wan Lianxing in her heart. Is this man just domineering? This man has no moral integrity and wants to take everything for himself. He even likes other people's children. He is really going to make Shang Xi angry to death.

The lofty throne is indeed dizzying, and everyone wants to gain power, but Shang Xi is different. She does not ask Cheng Youning to become a dragon or a phoenix, or to have power over the world. She just wants to keep Cheng Youning under her nose. Why is such a simple request so difficult to achieve?
