36.Wanting to be a dandy

 Liang Run saw the young men in brocade clothes glaring at Zhao Yao, and was about to stand in front of his nephew, but he heard his nephew say, "Second uncle, let's go."

  Zhao Yao was not afraid of these young men in brocade clothes who had a ferocious expression. Although he didn't know why they were glaring at him, he didn't care.

  The young men in brocade clothes stared with their eyes wide open, watching the little guy walk past them.

  They couldn't believe that the little guy not only didn't cry, but also walked away with a swagger.

  After Zhao Yao left for a while, the young men in brocade clothes came back to their senses. They looked at each other, unable to believe what had just happened.

  "That little guy just left like that?" The one who spoke was a little fat man, he was Song Dekang's youngest son, named Song Jicai. Because he was fat, he was called Fatty.

  "Weren't we scary just now?" This was Zhang He, the youngest son of General Zhang Gong, who was tall, strong, and dark, nicknamed Heizi. They had the most scary expressions just now, and other people would have been scared to death by seeing them like this on normal days.

  "That little guy doesn't seem to be afraid of us at all. If it were any other little guy, we would have scared him to tears." The speaker was Shen Sen, the youngest son of General Shen Hu, nicknamed "Three Woodblocks." "The little guy looks like a sticky rice dumpling, but I didn't expect him to be so brave."

  Chu Huan said, "The little guy simply didn't take us seriously." He is the youngest son of General Chu Ying, nicknamed Xiaobai because he looks fair.

  "It's impossible. We are the overlords of Xishi. Who wouldn't be afraid of us?" Zhang He couldn't accept the result that the four overlords were ignored. "It must be that our expressions just now were not scary enough."

  "I was the same as usual." Song Jicai pouted and said, "Just now, that sticky rice dumpling looked well-behaved. It must be fun to scare him to tears. I didn't expect that he didn't scare him to tears."

  Shen Sen touched his chin and said, "It must be that our power has decreased."

  "No, when I bought snacks just now, the guy was very afraid of me. He saw that I was trembling." Song Jicai was still holding a few bags of snacks he had just bought. He bought them for his sister.

  "That glutinous rice dumpling must have been very brave." Chu Huan frowned and said, "This is the first time we didn't scare the little brat to tears."

  "This is a great shame." Song Jicai said with a sullen face, "If others know about this, the reputation of our four overlords will be gone."

  "Yes, this will damage our reputation." Chu Huan said, his expression suddenly became serious, "Next time I see that glutinous rice dumpling, I must scare him to tears and let him know how powerful we are."

  "Oh, we shouldn't have let him go just now." Shen Sen said angrily, "This glutinous rice dumpling ran very fast."

  "Next time I see him, I must scare him to death, otherwise the reputation of our four overlords will be ruined."

  "I must let him see how terrible we are!"

  Zhao Yao, who was being scolded by the four overlords, suddenly felt his nose itchy and rubbed his nose quickly.

  "Yaoyao, what happened just now? Why did those four overlords stare at you with ill intentions?"

  Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know." He didn't provoke them, so who knows why they stared at him.

  "Did they want to snatch the snacks in your hand just now?" Liang Run guessed.

  Zhao Yao thought it was very likely, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Since you, my second uncle, were here, they didn't come up to steal my snacks."

  Liang Run was a little angry, and said with a slightly gloomy face, "They are really bold to try to steal your snacks."

  "If they had stolen my snacks just now, I would never let them go." Zhao Yao said fiercely.

  "These four tyrants rely on their father being a general to do whatever they want." Liang Run frowned and said,

  "Isn't that what a playboy is like." To be honest, he also wanted to be a playboy, eating, drinking, having fun all day, doing whatever he wants, and no one would care. It was great to think about it, but it was a pity that he didn't have this fate. "Not only them, most of the children of the powerful in Beijing are like this."

  "That's right."

  "If I were them, I would do the same."

  "Would you do the same?" Liang Run was frightened by Zhao Yao's words, "Yaoyao, do you want to be a playboy?"

  Zhao Yao actually nodded, "Yes, it's good to be a playboy."   

  Liang Run's face turned black. He asked in disbelief, "What's so good about being a dandy?"

  Zhao Yao raised a finger and said, "First of all, you don't have to study hard to be a dandy."

  Hearing his nephew's words, Liang Run felt amused and helpless: "You want to be a dandy because you don't have to study hard?"

  "Yes, dandy boys are all idiots. No one forces them to study hard." There's nothing wrong with being an idiot. "Secondly, you can play whatever you want to be a dandy."

  "You can play whatever you want."

  "No way." Zhao Yao frowned and said, "I can't even leave the palace freely. I have to sneak out of the palace. How can I play whatever I want?" As a prince, although he has a noble status, he also has many rules to abide by. "I can't play in the West Market every day like them." It's really not fun in the palace.

  Liang Run couldn't refute this.

  "The most important thing is to be a dandy. As long as you don't make too much trouble, no one will care."

  "Yaoyao, being a dandy will make people look down on you."

  Zhao Yao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If they look down on you, they will look down on you. I won't lose a piece of meat." He didn't care about other people's opinions. He just wanted to live happily. "Second uncle, it's normal for a dandy to do bad things. People will get used to it."

  "Is this a good thing?" Liang Run was shocked. Why would Yaoyao think so.

  "Of course it is a benefit. This way you don't have to obey the rules." Zhao Yao's expression suddenly became serious. "The most important thing is that if a playboy does a good thing, everyone will praise him."

  Liang Run didn't quite understand what Zhao Yao meant, and said dazedly: "No matter who does good things, they will be praised."

  Zhao Yao raised his index finger and shook it, saying, "It's different."

  "What's the difference?"

  "Second uncle, it's like a bad guy always does bad things, but one day he suddenly does a good thing, everyone will praise him, and even think that he has become a better person, and forget all the bad things he did before." Zhao Yao said, "A good person often does good things, and everyone is used to it, but one day he suddenly does a bad thing, everyone will think he has become bad, and forget all the good things he did before."

  Liang Run listened and looked at Zhao Yao in astonishment.

  "Yaoyao, you..."

  "Uncle, isn't that the case?"

  "You're right." Liang Run sighed, "People demand a lot from good people, but are very tolerant of bad people."

  "It's the same for a playboy, so it's better to be a playboy who does whatever he wants." He wanted to be a playboy prince, but reality didn't allow it, so he could only be a stupid prince.

  Liang Run now felt that what Zhao Yao said was right, "Yaoyao, do you really want to be a playboy?"

  "I do want to, but unfortunately I can't." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "If I'm unlearned, unruly, disobedient, and do things recklessly, I will definitely be beaten to death by my father. My father won't allow his son to make trouble, and the ministers won't allow it either." Those censors like to stare at the royal family every day when they have nothing to do, and they will report if they do something wrong.

  "The most important thing is that I don't have the confidence to be a playboy." If he were his second and third brothers, when he grew up, he would be a playboy prince who ate, drank and had fun.

  Hearing Zhao Yao's last words, Liang Run's heart was stabbed.

  "It's all because our Liang family has no power and influence, so you and your sister have to live cautiously in the palace."

  Seeing Liang Run's face full of self-blame, Zhao Yao knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Second uncle, I don't mean to blame you. It's not a bad thing that the Liang family has no power and influence. At least my mother and I will not be involved in the bloody battle for the throne." If the Liang family had power and influence, even if he wanted to be a dandy prince, he would be forced by them to snatch that position.

  　Sorry, I came back late at noon because of something, so I updated it now.
