Chapter 1036 Who Did Zhinu Learn From
That night, after peeling three large plates of shrimps, King Chu no longer wanted to think about whether he was hungry or not.
Just like last night, he first washed Yu Lian'er's feet himself, and then took the opportunity to massage his wife's calves to ask the question in his mind: "Lian'er, didn't Master Yu say before that we can reach Qiongzhou before summer? But now it's almost winter. Is Master Yu...going to join my eldest brother instead?"
"Your Highness... I was just about to tell you about this." Yu Lian'er smiled softly and said, "Grandfather had already explained in a letter two months ago the reason why we couldn't go on schedule this time - Grandfather Xiao seemed to be planning to retire to Your Majesty, so Grandfather planned to wait until Grandfather Xiao resigned next year, and then the two of them would come to Qiongzhou together.
By the way, Empress Xiao and her grandson are also coming to Qiongzhou. Sister Wanwan doesn’t know about this yet. Grandfather mentioned it in the letter. I’m still hesitating whether to tell her or not.”
"Ah... I see." His Royal Highness the King of Chu seemed to be thinking about something. Then he continued, "Grandma Xiao might be planning to give Wanwan a surprise. As for that kid Yang Zhengdao... Well, let's not talk about him! But, Lian'er, do you think that the reason why Master Yu didn't dare to come alone is because he was afraid that this outstanding disciple of the King would put too much pressure on him and he felt that he couldn't handle it alone?"
"Hmm..." Yu Lian'er found that as long as her husband was by her side, the days would always become inexplicably interesting: "Maybe... this is the truth..."
"Ah?" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu heard his wife say this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Lian'er, how come you have also learned bad things?"
"That's all because of my husband's good example." Yu Lian'er countered her husband's move and said, "But... Your Highness, I want to know... did you wash your hands after dinner tonight?"
"No." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was an honest child: "While I was washing your feet, I washed my hands at the same time. What's wrong?"
"Alas..." Yu Lian'er knew that after she became pregnant, this sensitive sense of smell would always bring troubles like this: "Your Highness, don't do this next time."
“Hmmmm.” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded and couldn’t help but yawning: “Haha~~Lian’er, it’s getting late…”
"I will not keep you here today." When Yu Lian'er saw that after His Highness Prince Chu covered her with a quilt, he consciously opened the wardrobe beside him and skillfully took away the quilt to go to sleep in the outer room, she suddenly said, "Since your Highness went to Goguryeo, Sister Wu Xu has often been worried about you. Although she didn't mention these things after you came back, but-"
“—— Lian’er.” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu put the quilt aside, then walked to the bedside, stretched out his hand to tidy up the messy hair on his forehead: “All these things you said... I actually know them all. For example, after I left, Wanwan has been tending to her own vegetable garden all day to divert her attention. And Jiaojiao, she and Shuyi often burst into tears because they were worried about me. Wu Xu goes without saying... As for Yue’er... when she missed me... she just hid and wiped her tears secretly..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this with red eyes. He stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes: “But... the one who makes me feel the most distressed is you, Lian’er.
When I just left Qiongzhou, you comforted them and told them not to worry about you even though you were suffering from morning sickness every day... You even had to take time to take care of them for me. So... you are the one I owe the most..."
"How can I owe you anything..." When Yu Lian'er heard her husband say this, the tears in her eyes suddenly burst out: "Your Highness, don't say such things. You are not heroic enough..."
"What kind of hero is this? He is just a fool who can't even take care of his family..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he tucked the quilt in for his wife again: "Lian'er, I used to think that people should live freely and brilliantly. So since I was a teenager, I have been riding a horse and conquering the four barbarians, looking down on the world. But it was not until this king that I realized that what I have always wanted is a family.
In the past, when my grandmother was still alive, I had a family.
Later, my grandmother passed away. After I came to Chang'an, I subconsciously regarded it as my home.
But the fact is... my grandfather has parents, brothers and sisters, Uncle Dou, Master Yu, Master Xiao, and family... but I have no home..." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he saw tears in Yu Lian'er's eyes again, and he couldn't help but said in a gentle voice: "Lian'er, I didn't mean to make you cry, I just wanted to thank you. You gave me the most precious thing, you gave me a home.
Therefore, no matter how the world changes in the future, I will do my best to protect our home."
"Then Your Highness... do you still feel lonely now?" Yu Lian'er stretched out her little hand with some heartache and held her husband's big hand tightly.
"It's a bit lonely." His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't help but sighed when he saw this: "So Lian'er, you can't force me to sleep somewhere else again."
"But the other sisters..." Yu Lian'er said with some difficulty: "They will think that I am jealous!"
"Then..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly had a bold idea: "Ahem... Lian'er, you actually don't know - my royal grandfather, the big bed in his bedroom - oh! Wrong, wrong! Wife, I was wrong! Just now I was joking - oh!!!"
Oh my God, who on earth made it possible for women in this world to learn how to pinch people without any instruction?
-------------------------------------
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu lived a peaceful and stable life in Qiongzhou.
Thousands of miles away in Chang'an, after Emperor Li II led the army in person, the Crown Prince, who was in charge of regulating the country, suddenly met with his own disaster.
"Brother, tell me, are we brothers?" In the bedroom of the East Palace that was destroyed by a thunderbolt a few years ago and has now been repaired, His Royal Highness Prince Jin came with his fifth brother, His Royal Highness Prince Yan, and his sixth brother, His Royal Highness Prince Liang, and asked the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, a soul-searching question: "If we are brothers, then now that the younger brothers have something to ask for, will you help them or not?"
"..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at this little brother in front of him who had suddenly become smart and difficult since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu left. His scalp was a little numb: "Ahem... It depends on what the matter is."
"Brother, it's like this." The always loyal Prince of Yan felt that the youngest slave shouldn't be the first to take the lead in pitting his elder brother: "Didn't father decree that Sister Gao Yang be betrothed to Fang Yiai, the youngest son of Prime Minister Fang?"
"Hmm..." The Crown Prince at that time had underestimated Little Nine's intelligence, so he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem: "So? Are you planning to ask Big Brother how much gift he is prepared to give?"
"Brother, you are joking." Seeing that his fifth and ninth brothers had already made plans, Liang Wang Li Yin simply raised his fishing rod and said, "What we mean is... you are now the regent, and Fang Yiai has reached adulthood, and the wedding date is approaching... why don't you just issue an order to let him marry Sister Gaoyang?"
"Ah..." Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully, "So, Your Highness Prince of Yan, Your Highness Prince of Liang, and Your Highness Prince of Jin, you are here to remind me of this?"
"Brother, Brother Yiai is now in Qiongzhou with Brother Er. Does Sister Gaoyang have to go to Qiongzhou to marry Brother Yiai?"
"Ah...right..." Li Chengqian finally understood a little bit at this point: "So you want to..."
"Brother! I want to be the envoy for the marriage!" Seeing that his brother had finally come to the rescue, the King of Yan spoke first, "Don't worry, I will make sure that Sister Gaoyang has a safe journey."
"Brother, since the fifth brother has taken the position of the chief envoy, I have no choice but to be the deputy envoy..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness Prince Liang was somewhat uninterested: "Alas... It would be great if I were the fifth brother..."
"Me! Big brother, there's me!" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin saw that both the positions of the chief envoy and the deputy envoy had been taken, he quickly thought of a solution and said, "I'm going to go and see if my second brother is doing anything wrong in Qiongzhou for my father - for example, recruiting talented people, accepting advice, buying soldiers, and hoarding money and food in anticipation of the day... Woo - Woo - Woo!"
"Child slave... who did you learn this ability to talk nonsense from?" Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dumbfounded, His Royal Highness Prince Liang took the lead and covered the mouth of his stinky brother who was talking more and more outrageously: "Don't think it's okay to make up stories about our second brother behind his back. Sometimes when our second brother beats us, it's purely based on intuition. There is never any reason to explain it! And... objectively speaking... his intuition has always been pretty accurate!"
