Being blocked by Zhu Yunxuan, Liang Zhen laughed out loud: "I haven't seen you for three years, but His Majesty is more tricky than before."
Zhu Yunxuan said coldly: "It's no match for you, always so unrestrained and unrestrained."
Liang Zhen had the cheek to take the other party's sarcasm as a compliment, and responded with a smile: "Your Majesty's ridiculous praise, I dare not take it."
The child sitting in Zhu Yunxuan's arms has been staring at Liang Zhen curiously, being attracted by the mask on his face, and asked him childishly, "Uncle, why do you keep covering your face?"
Liang Zhen looked at him with a smile: "Little baby, do you want to see what Uncle looks like?"
Chu'er nodded subconsciously: "Can I watch it?"
"Of course you can watch it if you want to."
Liang Zhen raised his hand to take off the mask, smiled and blinked at Yun'er, the child rounded his eyes in surprise, and blurted out: "Rabbit kite!"
It turned out that the uncle who gave him the rabbit lantern was the uncle who helped him find the rabbit kite. Min'er was so happy that he raised his head excitedly and told Zhu Yunxuan: "Daddy, this is the uncle who helped me find the rabbit kite that was blown away." Here comes the little rabbit I drew myself."
Zhu Yunxuan looked away uncomfortably: "... Really?"
"Well, Uncle is very good-looking, I remember."
Zhu Yunxuan: "..."
Liang Zhen laughed loudly: "This little doll is really interesting, His Majesty taught you well..."
Yun'er, who was laughed at, was very embarrassed, and happily smirked along, Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows with Zhu Yunxuan playfully: "Your Majesty hasn't answered my question yet, when did His Majesty become a concubine or accept a concubine? With such a big little prince?"
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Why should I explain my private affairs to you, a grassroots person, my prince naturally has a dignified identity, so I don't need you to worry about it."
"Is it okay to ask?"
"Nothing to do with you."
As if aware of the tense atmosphere between the two, Min'er looked up at Zhu Yunxuan again, and whispered to him: "Daddy, don't quarrel with uncle..."
Zhu Yunxuan suppressed the irritability in her heart and picked up the child: "Let's go, Min'er."
Min'er nodded obediently, then turned her head and waved to Liang Zhen: "Uncle, see you next time."
"Are you leaving now? When will I be able to see Your Majesty next time?" Liang Zhen looked up at Zhu Yunxuan who had already stood up, and there was a light that was about to move in his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Zhu Yunxuan closed her eyes lightly, and answered him calmly: "You don't have to be like this. Since I let you go three years ago, I have no intention of having any entanglements with you. King Zhao is dead, and you have changed your name and surname. Now you are living a happy life." It’s also considered happy, so why bother with those things in the past.”
The smile on the corners of Liang Zhen's lips gradually faded, he looked deeply at Zhu Yunxuan, trying to see what he really thought.
"Your Majesty, after three years, you are still like this. Are you unwilling to face your true heart? You don't want to see me again, so why do you wear my string of prayer beads with you? And this child, who was able to send it out and even deceive him back then? I said he is gone, why do you want to bring him back now?"
Zhu Yunxuan's hand on Min'er's waist tightened a bit: "I need an heir."
"As long as you accept a concubine, let alone one, it is easy to have ten heirs, but you don't have one. You haven't married a wife for three years. I thought your meaning was clear enough, so I came back to find You, you want to push me out again, what exactly do you want?"
"What I want has nothing to do with you."
"So in the end, it's still my wishful thinking and self-indulgence, right?"
Zhu Yunxuan pursed the corners of her lips lightly, said nothing more, turned and left with the child in her arms.
When she went downstairs, Yu'er put her arms around Zhu Yunxuan's neck, and asked him timidly, "Daddy, are you angry with Uncle?"
Zhu Yunxuan patted him on the back to comfort him, without saying anything, the little baby said again: "Then I will ignore Uncle from now on, Daddy don't want to be angry with you too."
"Good boy," Zhu Yunxuan murmured in a low voice, "Daddy is not angry, you are good."
In the afternoon, the father and son wandered around the West Market. Zhu Yunxuan's interest faded a lot, and Liang Zhen followed suit. They came out in low clothes, Liang Zhen didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he couldn't call the guards to go Chasing people away, I had to let him follow. Seeing that it was not early, I ordered people to retrieve Yuanbao and the others, planning to go back home.
Min'er looked eagerly at a large conch hanging on the opposite stall, before Zhu Yunxuan could speak, Liang Zhen went over to buy the thing first, and handed it to the child.
The conch was as big as an adult's palm, with dazzling colors and very smooth and beautiful patterns. When the conch was handed to him, the little baby's eyes lit up for a moment, then suppressed the desire in his heart, and shook his head: "I don't want it."
Liang Zhen smiled lightly: "Really don't want it?"
The little baby glanced at the conch in his hand again, lowered his eyes, and said firmly, "No."
Liang Zhen looked at Zhu Yunxuan, and shook his head in disapproval: "It's fine for His Majesty to be angry with me, why bother to provoke the relationship between me and the child."
Zhu Yunxuan frowned, tapped her finger on Min'er's shoulder, and reminded him in a low voice: "If you want, Min'er, take it."
Min'er looked up at him: "Isn't Daddy angry?"
Zhu Yunxuan coughed in embarrassment: "No."
So the little baby "reluctantly" accepted the conch, held it in her arms and looked at it carefully, fondled it fondly for a while, but still felt embarrassed, and shyly thanked Liang Zhen who had been smiling at her all the time: "Thank you, Uncle. "
Liang Zhen reached out and pinched his little face, and said with a smile: "It's as difficult to serve as your father."
Yuan Bao and Zhu Yunqiong, who were sweating profusely from the game, came back happily. Zhu Yunxuan asked someone to pull the carriage and drove them to the carriage.
Liang Zhen crossed his arms, looked playfully at Zhu Yunqiong who climbed into the car behind Yuan Bao, and asked Zhu Yunxuan: "That is His Highness Ninth Prince? When did His Majesty become so kind and take this kid with him?"
Zhu Yunxuan glanced at him vigilantly, and said calmly: "That's my ninth brother, I don't need others to comment on what I want to do."
Liang Zhen raised his hand with a smile, wiped his neck, and lowered his voice to remind Zhu Yunxuan: "Your Majesty, this kid will be a disaster sooner or later. For the sake of your country, you should not keep him."
Zhu Yunxuan's expression turned cold, and he stopped talking to him, got into the car with Min'er in his arms, and slammed the door.
Watching the emperor's chariot go away, the smile on the corner of Liang Zhen's mouth gradually narrowed, and he ordered the subordinates who appeared behind him: "Find someone to keep an eye on the Ninth Prince next to the emperor, and don't ask those people to come into contact with him."
The people behind respectfully took orders: "No!"
At night, Zhu Yunxuan sat in a daze under the corridor in the courtyard, and Min'er was lying in his arms and fell asleep under a thin blanket. Zhu Yunjing came over with a jug of wine, sat down next to him, and handed him a wine glass Go to him.
Zhu Yunxuan held the cup and asked him absent-mindedly, "Is Ming'er feeling better?"
"The imperial doctor has seen it. After taking the medicine, it is much better. After a sleep, it will be almost fine tomorrow."
Zhu Yunxuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhu Yunjing poured out the wine, took a sip comfortably, and told him: "This is the wine from Qiongguan, it tastes very good, you can try it."
Zhu Yunxuan put the wine in the glass into his mouth, and the tip of his tongue instantly tasted a spicy taste. As expected of the wine sent from the north, it was probably good, but he didn't have much intention to taste the wine.
Seeing his distraught attitude, Zhu Yunjing smiled and sighed: "Come back in the afternoon and tell me that you met the uncle who picked up the kite for him last time in the sea market?"
Zhu Yunxuan's eyelashes were half drooping, he took another sip of his wine, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, you just came to see my joke, right?"
Zhu Yunjing smiled lazily and said: "It's clear that you have a guilty conscience that came up with such an idea... That day when you first arrived in Quanzhou, I mentioned it to you and he guessed that there must be today. If you don't leave here, is it really because you want to see him again?"
Zhu Yunxuan was speechless, and after a long silence, he said: "Brother, back then when I asked you why you had to follow Dingguo Gong, you said you would be lonely... After you left Beijing, he was the only one left by my side who could do it." People who can speak, I gradually understand what you mean. These years... I know it's wrong, and I shouldn't think about it, but I can't help myself. I'm really... too lonely... "
"... Then what on earth are you thinking?"
Zhu Yunxuan's gloomy eyes fell on the open space in the courtyard mottled with tree shadows, and he murmured hoarsely: "I want him, but I dare not, and I can't, I am the emperor, and he is a courtier who has been executed by me. As for the rebirth, how can I explain to the world... What's more, I don't dare to believe him, even though I know that he didn't have two minds at the beginning, I can't forget the things he did to me, I dare not Go bet, when will he suddenly change his face and force me to do things that I don't want to do and even feel humiliated."
Zhu Yunjing was at a loss for words, thought about it seriously, shook her head and said: "If you want me to say it, I always think he is not a thing. If He Huailing was like him back then, I would have to work hard with him. You finally gave him up." It's dealt with, if it wasn't for You Yu'er, you should have no contact with each other long ago, and now that he is entangled again, your heart is shaken, and I don't advise you, just remind you, no matter what you decide , don’t embarrass yourself.”
Zhu Yunxuan drank the wine in the glass, poured himself another glass, the bitter taste spread from his throat to the bottom of his heart: "I don't want to think about it, it's okay, there is still Yu'er..."
He drank one cup after another, and soon became drunk, Zhu Yunjing picked up Mi'er, and ordered Gao An to help Zhu Yunxuan in, and waited for him to rest: "Good life, serve Your Majesty, light some incense, let him sleep well .”
Gao An hurriedly responded: "No, this servant knows, don't worry, my lord."
Zhu Yunjing sighed inwardly, he brought wine to Zhu Yunxuan, the intention was to get him drunk and let him have a good sleep, otherwise he would have to sit in the courtyard all night again.
Xi'er woke up in Zhu Yunjing's arms in a daze, subconsciously called out "Daddy", and then saw clearly which daddy it was, feeling a little embarrassed for a while, Zhu Yunjing smiled and lowered her head and kissed him: "Go!" Come on baby, daddy will take you to bed, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in a few days."
