Chapter 881: Will Let Go
"Then do everything according to what Your Highness says." Dou Shilun did not refute him, but reminded him: "But if Your Highness does something wrong again... and forces the old Taoist priest to go to the Western Regions..."
“Uncle Dou…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn’t know when his reputation had collapsed: “You can’t scare me like this…”
"Be careful and don't let the priests worry." Dou Shilun realized that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped talking about it and asked about the expedition instead: "Your Highness, has the date been set?"
"I don't want to talk to that tyrant at all." His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his head when he heard this: "I'm afraid I can't suppress my anger."
"You don't need to go to His Majesty, His Majesty will go to you." Dou Shilun smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget, Wei Zheng was not in the imperial study yesterday..."
"Ah?" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu heard Dou Shilun's words, he immediately reacted: "So this tyrant king also knows how to lose face?!"
"So, once Wei Zheng makes a fuss about this matter, plus..." Dou Shilun, who originally thought that some other means were needed to get His Royal Highness the King of Chu out of the city safely, couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of his master's plan: "Plus your brilliant plan - His Majesty is probably looking forward to your early departure."
"We can't just give in to his wishes so easily." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that this matter couldn't be resolved so easily: "I will have to make him beg me!"
"That's not necessary." Dou Shilun couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Your Highness, it's okay to vent your temper appropriately, but don't really make things awkward. As long as you leave Chang'an, everything will be fine."
"Not entirely." His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Once we leave Chang'an, it will be easier for that tyrant to deal with me."
"Once you leave Chang'an, some things can only be said to be 'if heaven does not fulfill our wishes, we can conquer heaven'." Dou Shilun just smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, Your Highness, I have things to do here. You can go wherever you want. I won't see you off."
"Hey..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was not happy this time: "Dou Shuer, why... do you seem to dislike me?"
Upon hearing this, Dou Shilun just smiled and remained silent.
Upon seeing this scene, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was instantly heartbroken: "Well... Dou Shu'er... I am your biological head of the family! You can't do this to me!"
"That's not the case... My Lord, can you please leave me a way out?" Dou Shilun was eager to shut up His Highness the Prince of Chu, who always had a chatterbox and was always prone to causing trouble: "I need to change my original plan and make new arrangements. I'm busy... How can I have time to chat with you?"
"Okay..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stopped messing around. He thought for a moment and took out a jade ring that was all emerald green from his bosom: "Uncle Dou, I have been taken care of by you since I was a child, and I have never given you any gifts. Please accept this ring."
"Where did you get it from?" Dou Shilun took the ring with a hesitant expression: "This kind of appearance... Your Highness, have you been to the Wude Hall again?!"
"No! I'm not that shameless." His Royal Highness the King of Chu puffed out his chest proudly upon hearing this. "There's a piece of jadeite in my royal grandfather's collection. It was originally the size of a palm. I wanted to carve a brush washer for you, but my skills were too poor. In the end... I only made this ring. But fortunately, the best parts were not wasted!"
"You understand... Never mind..." Dou Shilun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Your Highness, I am ashamed to accept your kindness, and I am grateful in my heart."
"Uncle Dou, the show is over." His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been accustomed to being abstract. If others are like this, he will never accept it: "It's good that you like it. I'm afraid you are not interested in this thing."
"My archery skills are actually pretty good." Dou Shilun said as he put the wrench on his right thumb: "Your Highness, you are thoughtful."
"Oh, let's not talk about this." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand and then said, "Dou Shuer, since the matter has been settled, it is indeed time for me to get busy with other things. You——"
"——If you are going to visit the Duke of Zheng's Mansion, you'd better inform them in advance." Dou Shilun knew his own master very well: "As for Dugu Yanyun, I have found time to talk to him. You can also go directly through the main gate."
"...Well, you mean 'the door is open for people to pass through', right?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu's ability to understand reached its peak at this moment: "Dou Shuer, hello..."
"Stop chatting, Your Highness, please go ahead." Dou Shilun refused His Highness the Prince of Chu who wanted to come forward to hug him, as his two sons were standing outside.
"By the way, Uncle Dou, can you lend me your horse for a ride?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his head and said, "I came here in a hurry..."
"These little things are easy to deal with, Your Highness..." Dou Shilun pursed his lips after hearing this, and then said, "This time you must understand some etiquette..."
Otherwise, if your two future fathers-in-law suddenly change their minds, I will be too lazy to go to their doors to lobby them again.
-------------------------------------
In the evening, King Chu, who had visited the Mansion of Duke Zheng and the Mansion of Duke Liyang, rode back to the palace in a leisurely and elegant manner on the mount he had stolen from Uncle Dou.
As usual, he played with Sizi Zhinu for a while, then his Royal Highness the King of Chu thought about it and decided to go to Ganlu Palace to have dinner with his mother.
"Kuan'er, try this." - That night, in Ganlu Palace, Empress Changsun was overjoyed to see her son was willing to accompany her for dinner, so she asked the Imperial Food Bureau to prepare some more dishes that her son liked, hoping that her son could stay a little longer.
"Thank you, mother." While hugging his sister who had finished her meal but refused to leave and was still clinging to him, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said to Empress Changsun, "Mother, you don't need to worry about my uncle. I'm not stupid. I know that if he doesn't obey, my father will definitely be unhappy. But... you should also tell him that if he keeps getting involved in any excitement, he will get into trouble sooner or later - even if the excitement is not with my son, he can't escape it."
“Kuan’er…” Empress Changsun was stunned at first, then nodded sadly and said, “You are right… If you get involved in everything, it will sooner or later arouse public anger…”
"This is the last time I will give Uncle Wuji advice. Whether he listens or not, I have done my best. As for... forget it, mother, this steamed mandarin fish is really good, you should try it too." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, taking a piece of fish from the plate and putting it in his mother's bowl: "Mother, you don't have to take these troubles to heart in the future. Although I will leave Chang'an soon... But don't worry, I know what I should and shouldn't do in the future.
You should pay more attention to your health. Sizi and Zhinu are still young, and you and that tyrant king... cough cough... Anyway, don't give your son a brother or sister so soon. Giving birth is very damaging to a woman's body. This is what medical books say, not what my son said. Mother, you should take good care of yourself..."
When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, he saw that Empress Changsun's eyes were already full of tears. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and said, "As for the previous matter... there are differences in the length of the ten fingers, and your son does not blame you."
When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he thought about it and finally swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
There are some things that you are destined not to get, so you should let go of them.
The love and care that I didn't get from my parents, my grandmother and aunt had already given me a thousand times more, so if I were to be greedy and want more, then perhaps God would not be able to bear it...
