Chapter 117 Readers Who Cannot Join the Group
"Your Highness, you're awake! The kitchen staff have prepared all the dishes. Would you like to have your meal first?" As soon as Rui Nu saw that the prince was awake, she quickly pushed past Qing Nu and ran over.
"Eat, eat, eat! What's there to eat? It's the same stuff all day long, I'm sick of it!" The prince was fed up.
It's all the Emperor's fault for assigning him fiefdoms. He gave his eldest brother the Northwest, his second brother the Shu region, and himself the Lingnan Qiongzhou area. But the Crown Prince was given the entire Jiangnan region by the Emperor.
The land south of the Yangtze River is a land of plenty and fertile rice. Compared to this place, it's either malaria or poverty. Chu Yanwen's eyes were red with envy.
And the title his father bestowed upon him, the Prince of Anle, wasn't it just to let him eat, drink, and have fun in peace, and not to covet the throne?
He can, but Father, can't you switch my fiefdom with the Crown Prince's? How can he eat, drink, and have fun in this godforsaken place?
“Well, Your Highness, although we are far from the capital, we have seafood. You know, other princes can’t get to eat this. Today, the county magistrate sent over a pair of large crabs. Why don’t you go and try them?” Qingnu also cautiously advised.
"Alright, let's go try it then." After Chu Yanwen woke up, his morning grumpiness subsided.
After two servants helped him wash up, he came to the dining hall, but where were the big crabs?
"How dare you two deceive me!" Chu Yanwen was about to slam his fist on the table and grab the men as soon as he saw the big crab was gone.
"Your Highness, please spare us! We clearly brought it over just now!" The two servants were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy. It really wasn't them!
"Could it be that I have wronged you? If you hadn't deceived me, would this giant crab have grown legs and run away?" Chu Yanwen's anger grew as he spoke, and he immediately wanted to have the two servants dragged away and beaten, but then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have just asked someone to take the giant crab and roll it around.
Just as he was about to think it through carefully, he saw a glowing book floating in front of him.
"Rui Nu, Qing Nu, do you see what's in front of me?" Chu Yanwen asked blankly.
The two servants didn't understand why the prince changed the subject so quickly, but that didn't stop them from shaking their heads frantically.
"Your Highness, there's nothing in front of you!"
"Hahahaha! Very good! I knew I was blessed by the heavens!" Chu Yanwen hadn't expected that only he could see this book. He quickly dismissed the two men, wanting to study this divine book carefully.
"Has the prince gone mad? What divinely blessed person? Is that something to be said?" The two servants exchanged a glance.
However, the prince did not pursue the matter of the crabs any further, and they were spared a beating. The two breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew.
Chu Yanwen happily flipped open the book. Beachcombing? What's beachcombing? Oh, so it's collecting things! Interesting, very interesting!
He kept scrolling until the very end, and that was it? What happened to the imperial decree for him? Or perhaps some unparalleled martial arts technique or elixir of immortality?
Frustrated, he checked again, but there was nothing there. Finally, he found his donation history: two large crabs.
When did this happen? Why can't he remember?
Actually, he accidentally turned on the audiobook function while he was sleeping, which woke him up. By some twist of fate, he cursed and gave Lin Liuyi two crabs as a reward.
Unable to find any special decree, Chu Yanwen gave up. He figured if he wasn't blessed by heaven, then so be it; being a prince was fine for him.
However, his eyes immediately lit up. "Qingnu, Ruinu, get ready for me. I'm going to go beachcombing!"
"Your Highness is here! Your Highness, what did you say you were going to do?" The two servants had just breathed a sigh of relief when the prince called them back in.
"Catching the sea! Catching the sea! Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Chu Yanwen said irritably.
"Yes, yes, we understand!" Ruinu and Qingnu wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"Your Highness, are you going to go beachcombing now?" Ruinu looked at the blazing midday sun outside. Although he wasn't a local, he knew that no one would go beachcombing at this time.
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Chu Yanwen felt like he was going to kill you if you asked one more question.
"Alright, alright, I'll arrange it right away."
When Qingnu brought the prince to the seaside, Ruinu secretly gave him a wink, assuring him that everything was arranged.
The young prince happily started collecting seashells on the beach, but after a while he got annoyed. "What's going on? Why is the beach full of seashells? There's not even a fish! Where are the big crabs?!"
Ruinu inwardly groaned, "Oh my prince, these seashells are the result of him running around to several stalls. Other seafood is sold fresh in the morning."
"Perhaps these fish and crabs were frightened by Your Highness's majesty, which is why they all hid!" Qingnu tried his best to cover up the situation, while Ruinu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
What are you glaring at me for? Come over here and help me smooth things over. If the prince gets upset, we're both doomed!
Upon receiving Qingnu's glance, Ruinu quickly chimed in, "That's right, Your Highness! These sea creatures are hiding because they're frightened by your imposing presence! That's exactly it!"
"Really? So this king is so majestic and extraordinary?" Chu Yanwen touched his face.
Qingnu and Ruinu racked their brains for words, praising the prince from head to toe, inside and out. Finally, the prince was satisfied and returned home.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the guards were far away, otherwise they would have lost all face.
Chu Yanwen had just returned home when Lin Liuyi sent him an invitation to join the group.
Join the group? Okay, okay, he knew he was a blessed person!
When Qingnu and Ruinu heard the prince say again that he was a man blessed by heaven, they felt utterly hopeless. Could it be that the prince was taking their words seriously?
Chu Yanwen quickly clicked "agree," Lan hesitated for a moment before clicking "agree," and FishingMan116 clicked "agree" directly.
Two more people suddenly appeared in Lin Liuyi's group chat.
"Host, I have some bad news for you. One of your readers failed to join the group."
"Huh? Why is he asking for money? Doesn't he agree?"
"No, host, he clicked 'agree,' but the rules don't allow it," the system explained.
"Is this the reader who gave the reward chest? And what exactly are those rules?" This was the first time Lin Liuyi had encountered a reader who couldn't join the group.
"Yes, host, it's that person! As for the rules, they must be restrictions from their world." The system indicated that it didn't know either, as every world is different, and such things can happen.
Unfortunately, Lin Liuyi could only express his regret, but the arrival of new readers in the group was also a happy thing.
