Chapter 149: Testing
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm more careful than you said!" Shen Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued to eat the jujube flower cake: "I just want to eat and wait for death, I'm not interested in anything else!"
Shen Lang grew up under Liang Zhengfeng's supervision and they were separated until Shen Lang was eight years old. Liang Zhengfeng knew Shen Lang's character very well.
You can tell a person’s future at the age of three, and his old age at the age of seven!
Shen Lang has been a different child since childhood. While other children like to play with guns and sticks, Shen Lang just lies on a chair every day, as leisurely as his grandfather. He doesn't like poetry or books. All he does is eat and sleep. He doesn't play with other children. He can spend a whole day talking to himself in the garden, which makes him very different.
Because the Shen family and the Liang family only have this one bloodline, everyone lets him do whatever he wants.
If he doesn't want to learn spears and sticks, then don't do it. What's more, his Dantian cannot be awakened yet. It is a waste of time for him to study to become a warrior. If he doesn't want to learn poetry and books, then don't study. As long as he can write his own name, recognize the general situation, and know good and evil, it will be enough, even if he just eats and waits for death. Even if he loses his family's foundation for his whole life, he will never spend it all.
Now, Shen Lang, who wanted to live a life of idleness and wait for death, has done such an earth-shattering feat as the Fourteenth Heavenly Peace of the Nanyue Empire. When Liang Zhengfeng heard the news in the court, he wondered if he had heard it wrongly, or that the man was not his grandson, but just had the same name.
As a result, when the court accepted the surrender of the Nanyue Empire, Liang Zhengfeng looked carefully and found that the person who had accomplished such great achievements was none other than his grandson who just wanted to live a life of idleness and wait for death. This really stunned him.
At the age of twenty, he was conferred the title of Pingnan Divine Marquis. Throughout the history of the Chinese Empire, no one has ever been able to do this. Even those who come after him may not be able to do this. It is truly unprecedented and unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
How did this grandson in front of him, who had no martial energy and could not practice any martial arts, do all this?
This is a huge mystery in Liang Zhengfeng’s mind!
Looking at his grandfather Liang Zhengfeng's gaze, Shen Lang wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said, "Master, there is no need to be so confused. I, your grandson, am lucky. I met an immortal who gave me guidance and I learned immortal arts. That's why I was able to do all this!" He could only repeat the same excuse he had given to Zhu Chenluo.
Who is Liang Zhengfeng? He is the lord of Jingyan City at the age of 35, the youngest lord of an imperial capital in history. He has been in official circles for decades and has seen all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of things. Even one of his eyebrows would be hollow if plucked out. It would be extremely difficult to get away with it in front of him.
Liang Zhengfeng naturally didn't believe Shen Lang's words, but he didn't ask what the reason was. He just said, "Zhu Chenluo is the eighteenth prince, and now he is the Prince of Pingnan. You are so close to him, you should be careful!"
Shen Lang nodded, poured a cup of tea for Liang Zhengfeng, and said, "The imperial family is the most ruthless. The relationships are intricate and complicated, like a tangled mess. If you are not careful, you may be doomed!"
"I just want to live a life of idleness and wait for death, but I don't want to get involved in this. So, I will be careful, grandpa, don't worry!" Shen Lang said seriously.
"Um!"
Liang Zhengfeng nodded: "The several princes and princes at the celebration banquet are all showing goodwill to you. One is to test you, and the other is to win you over. You must be careful to deal with them and not offend them!"
"Prince Rong and other princes have invited me to visit their homes. What do you think, should I go or not?" Shen Lang pondered for a moment and spoke.
"go!"
Liang Zhengfeng affirmed: "If you don't go when the prince invites you, wouldn't that be helping his face? The higher the position, the more important this is. It may seem like an unintentional remark, but it's not just a casual remark!"
"good!"
Shen Lang nodded: "Then I will listen to Grandpa. Before I leave, I will visit them one by one!"
"Well, I will prepare the gift for you in advance, and you can take it to me when the time comes!" Liang Zhengfeng said.
…
For dinner, Mu Wanjun cooked personally again and prepared a table full of delicious dishes. The four of them sat at the table, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After dinner, they ate cakes and drank tea while sitting in the courtyard, admiring the moon and chatting happily until the wind started to blow late at night.
…
"What about the princess of the Nanyue Empire?"
Back in the room, Liang Zhengfeng poured two cups of tea and asked.
"She's not a bad person, but she's stubborn. If you want to tame her, you need to work harder!" Mu Wanjun picked up the tea and said, "It was the emperor's idea to marry her to Lang'er. First, let Lang'er guard her, and second, use her as a hostage to make Wanyan Rulie give up!"
"So, for such a meaningful political marriage, she already has resentment. If Lang'er wants to make her convinced, it will take time!" Mu Wanjun added at the end.
"Lang'er has grown a lot!"
Liang Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Although he still looks carefree, he has matured a lot. He is no longer the fool who wants to eat and wait for death!"
"That's great!"
…
"This dress looks so beautiful on you!" Shen Lang sat on a chair, looked at Wanyan Ruyu who was sitting beside the bed, and praised her.
Wanyan Ruyu rolled her eyes and ignored Shen Lang's compliment, but she did like the clothes she was wearing. She had no idea how many silk and satin robes she owned, but they were all inferior .
The material is as soft as warm jade, very comfortable to wear, extremely silky, and the phoenix on the show is lifelike, as if it is about to fly out. It is lifelike and vivid, and it is truly priceless.
Seeing that Wanyan Ruyu ignored him, Shen Lang turned his head, stretched, and yawned: "I'm tired after a day, I'm a little sleepy, my lady, go to bed early!"
When Wanyan Ruyu heard this, her pretty face turned red, her whole body shuddered, and she glared at Shen Lang: "Go out and sleep, or change rooms!"
"ah?"
Shen Lang pretended to be surprised and said, "My grandma and grandpa have both decided that you are their grandson's wife. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to go out and sleep at this time?"
"Then it was your grandma and grandpa who decided it. I didn't say anything!" Wanyan Ruyu said, "Go out and sleep, go out and sleep!"
"I don't!"
Shen Lang refused directly and looked at Wanyan Ruyu: "You didn't say yes, nor did you say no. Besides, the emperor betrothed you to me, so you are my wife. Everyone in China knows this!" With that, Shen Lang stood up and walked towards Wanyan Ruyu.
"That...that...that won't work either!" When Wanyan Ruyu saw Shen Lang coming over, she quickly stood up and hid to the side.
"Haha, that's not up to you!" There was no way Shen Lang would let Wanyan Ruyu escape. He stepped in front of Wanyan Ruyu, hugged Wanyan Ruyu in his arms, and bit her hard with a strange cry .
“Ah…you…”
"Sleep, sleep!"
