For the next few days, Liang Zhen still went to the military camp every morning and returned after noon. Zhu Yunxuan never asked him what he was doing, and wandered around the island with his son all day long, enjoying the Rare leisure time.
After entering late April, the island became hotter and hotter. Min'er woke up from a nap at noon, sweating all over his body. Zhu Yunxuan, who was sitting by the window reading a book, heard the movement, turned around and saw the child half hanging by the bed and crawling down with his buttocks pouted, couldn't help laughing, got up and picked him up.
"Daddy, Daddy, my son is hot, and my son wants to eat iced sweet soup."
The child hugged Zhu Yunxuan's sticky neck and acted coquettishly. Zhu Yunxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Hey, when your father comes back, ask him to do it for you."
"Then why hasn't father come back?"
"I'll be back in a while, good boy."
The child lay on his shoulder and turned his head, his eyes fell to the window, he paused, said "ah", and straightened up excitedly: "Daddy, the little bird is here!"
Zhu Yunxuan turned around to look, and it really was his peregrine falcon, which was stepping back and forth on the window sills, puffing out its chest and fluttering its feathers as if deliberately teasing a child, the child giggled when he saw it.
Zhu Yunxuan carried the child to him, let him touch it enough, and then took out the letterhead from the bamboo tube tied to the peregrine falcon's feet. After reading the content on it, he lowered his eyes, frowned and fell silent for a moment, then lightly touched his son's hand. head, and asked him: "Good boy, shall we go back in two days?"
The child looked up at him: "Can I see Daddy and Father?"
"Yes," Zhu Yunxuan smiled and nodded his nose, "Don't you miss them?"
"What about father?"
"Father still has some things to do, and he will come to us in a few days."
Chu'er nodded half-understanding: "Really?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yunxuan didn't say any more, wrote a reply letter and let the peregrine falcon fly out, picked up his son, kissed his cheek, and whispered to him, "Good baby, hook up with daddy, daddy just talked to you Don't tell your father what you said, and don't say that you have seen the little bird, okay?"
"why?"
"Father is very busy, so we don't need to cause him any more trouble. Can the good boy promise his father?"
The child tilted his head and thought for a moment, then raised his hand: "Okay, Min'er hooks up with Daddy, and Min'er won't tell Father."
Zhu Yunxuan hooked his finger with a smile: "Good boy, Daddy's good baby."
Before Liang Zhen walked in, he heard the laughter of the father and son: "What is so happy?"
Min'er got off Zhu Yunxuan's body and threw herself in front of him: "Father, I want iced sweet soup!"
Liang Zhen smiled and picked him up: "Okay, I'll ask someone to do it for you."
He sat on the couch with someone in his arms, and seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was still reading, he asked him casually, "Why didn't you take Miner out to play today?"
Zhu Yunxuan glanced at the child who was getting skinnier in his arms, and shook his head: "It's too sunny outside, let him calm down, he'll go crazy after playing."
Liang Zhen smiled, grabbed Zhu Yunxuan's hand resting on the side of the couch, squeezed it lightly, Zhu Yunxuan looked at him inexplicably: "What's the matter?"
"What kind of prince does Your Majesty want?"
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, and answered him after thinking for a moment: "Although Yu'er looks soft-tempered, it's just because of his young age. I think he is quite courageous sometimes, and he should not be manipulated by others in the future. My brother said that he is studying. It's not bad, since he just got started, he can see that he has good talent. He has to learn everything he needs to learn to be a king. If he wants to play, I won't be too restrictive. It’s okay to give him the throne.”
Liang Zhen took a look at the son who was playing with the bamboo rabbits with his head down, and he agreed quite a bit: "That's good, you will be at ease when that happens, but as he is now, I think it's really embarrassing to be an emperor. You need to put more thought into it.”
Hearing the teasing meaning in Liang Zhen's words, Zhu Yunxuan gave a low cough in embarrassment. People say that three years old is old, and Min'er is like this now. It really doesn't look like an emperor, but people were born by him, what kind of nature? He has to admit: "Just take your time,... you will teach him more in the future."
Liang Zhen nodded with a smile: "That's natural. If you can't teach the prince well, it's because of my dereliction of duty as a queen."
The child raised his head, not knowing what his father and father were talking about, and blinked blankly.
Mammy brought him the sweet soup that he wanted to drink. It was made with the island's special fruit and chilled. Yun Xuan only poured out half a bowl for him, and put the remaining half bowl in front of Liang Zhen: "You Drink all of it, Yu'er has a bad stomach, so don't feed him too much."
Liang Zhen picked up a spoonful and fed it into his mouth: "Is it delicious?"
Zhu Yunxuan swallowed it whole, and nodded casually: "It's okay."
Liang Zhen looked at him, narrowing his eyes lightly: "Does Ah Xuan have something on his mind?"
"...No," Zhu Yunxuan smiled with him, "Why do you ask such a question?"
"It's nothing." Liang Zhen stirred the fruit in the bowl with downcast eyes, and fed another spoonful to Zhu Yunxuan's mouth.
Chu'er finished his half bowl, patted his stomach contentedly, and continued to play with the rabbit. They ate the remaining half of the bowl one by one. Liang Zhen asked someone to remove the bowl and put it on the chessboard. .
Zhu Yunxuan twiddled the chess pieces a little absent-mindedly. Seeing this, Liang Zhen smiled and flicked all the chess pieces into the chess box: "Since you don't want to play chess, let's talk."
Zhu Yunxuan raised her eyes and glanced at him, then twitched the corners of her mouth: "You can say whatever you want, or... just tell me about your experience here for the past three years."
Liang Zhen smiled softly: "Well, let me think about it. When I went to Nanyang in the first year, I rescued the Qin family's father and son at sea, followed them to Rainbow Island, and stayed there for half a month. After that, my father came to visit Qin on the island. Old man, our father and son know each other, so I followed him here."
"... How did you meet General Xiao?"
"Although my father changed his name, he didn't change his surname. The general surnamed Xiao who came from Dayan more than 20 years ago can easily think of my father. My father brought me back to the island. At first, the people on the island knew my origin. They all have suspicions, except for my father, other people actually don’t know who I was in Dayan, they only know that I committed a crime and became a prisoner of the imperial court, so I had to escape overseas.”
Liang Zhen said with a smile: "But who am I? It's just these rough people who have been living on this island for almost thirty years. All the superficial thoughts are on their faces, and I can see through them without guessing. , if my father can't let them go, I actually don't want to take care of this mess at all."
Zhu Yunxuan was speechless: "You really are not humble at all."
Liang Zhen grabbed his finger and lowered his head to kiss him, then continued with a smile: "After that, I followed my father around in Nanyang, and even went to Java Island."
"Java Island?"
"That's right, those foreign people are really capable. They have a lot of good things in their hands that have opened my eyes. I will help His Majesty get them one by one in the future."
Zhu Yunxuan said with a smile: "So, I really made money by marrying you as the queen."
"That's natural," Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and then sighed again, "my father passed away the next year, and after I buried him, I rarely leave this island again, only occasionally. I asked someone to inquire about the news from Dayan, yes, I met His Majesty's elder brother here in the second year."
Zhu Yunxuan had some surprises. Zhu Yunjing had never mentioned this matter to him before, so Liang Zhen sighed with a smile: "That time when I went back to Rainbow Island to visit Mr. Qin, His Majesty's elder brother brought people there to do business, and also brought Let's go with his eldest son. We met by chance at the market. He was very wary of me. If I hadn't been surrounded by many people at that time, maybe he would have asked someone to tie me up and throw me into the sea to feed the fish. The kid named Yuanbao bought two shell necklaces and said he would give them to his younger brother when he returned home."
"Two skewers?"
"Yeah, it's two strings. I just thought he wanted to keep one string for himself to play with. I never thought that he actually had two younger brothers. Now that Yuan Bao was seven or eight years old at the time, how could he still look at it?" I deserve that kind of gadget, if I had known earlier..."
"...how would I have known earlier?"
"If I knew it earlier, I would have gone to Quanzhou's navy headquarters to snatch the child."
Zhu Yunxuan sneered slightly: "Didn't you already go?"
Liang Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Until the news came back that you were coming to the south, I couldn't hold back and went to Quanzhou to learn about the existence of Min'er from other people. It's a pity that the General Military Mansion is heavily guarded. How could it be so easy for a child, I stayed outside for half a month, and then waited for the time when Duke Dingguo and his wife were away and the children went to the Zhuangzi outside the city to play alone. In fact, I wanted to take him away at that time of."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan frowned lightly, and Min'er looked up at them suspiciously when she heard her name, Liang Zhen smiled and squeezed his chin: "My dear son, no matter how good-looking you are when you meet someone you don't know, Yes, you can't follow, understand?"
Zhu Yunxuan: "..."
The child nodded obediently: "Ju'er knows, she is not an idiot."
Liang Zhen happily said: "Yes, our Min'er is a clever little ghost."
Zhu Yunxuan frowned and asked him: "Since that's the case, why didn't you take him away in the end?"
Liang Zhen looked at him with a smile: "You had just left Beijing at that time, and I took him away. Didn't it make you worry for nothing? Anyway, you are coming to Quanzhou. I have been waiting for three years, why bother?" For a while."
Zhu Yunxuan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart for a while, Liang Zhen was always so confident in the matter between them, but at this moment, he couldn't hate it anymore: "Are you sure that I will come to Quanzhou?"
The smile in Liang Zhen's eyes deepened: "My Ah Xuan is so soft-hearted, he is so soft-hearted to me, and even more so to Min'er. Since you have come to the south, it is impossible not to come to see your son."
Zhu Yunxuan lowered his eyes, and after a brief silence, he smiled in relief: "You are right, I came here from the capital just to see him."
Liang Zhen held his hand again: "Ah Xuan, let's go back when this last matter is resolved."
"good."
